The bloody revolution that has broken out in the Argentine republic was brought about by prominent leaders in Buenos Ayrci, who were dissatisfied with the government because tho most desirable offices were given to citizens of the province of Cordova. The revo-lution is spreading, and it may result in a general civil war. It began in Buenos Ayrcs, and the latest dispatches relate a very sanguinary battle between the revolutionists and the government troops. Tho revolutionists have formed a provisional government, aud some of the regular government troops have joined it, together with the wholo navy. This afternoon's dispatches from the seat of war are contradictory. One re-port coming from tho minister of finance of the republic says that the in-surrection Is subuded, while a later re-port states that thero is no prospoct of a compromise, and that the issue must bo fought out. Tho government of the Argentine re-public is modeled after that of the United States. The president is elected for six years, by an eleotoral college. No is allowed. The present chief oxeoutive, President Column, was eleotod Id October, 1888. Legislative authority is vested in a congress, con-sisting of two houses, the upper, or sen-ate, with twenty-eigh- t members, and tho lower, or house of deputies, with eighty-si- x members. Both president and must be Roman Catholics. Tho president is commander-in-chie- f of the troops, and appoints to all civil, military, nnd judicial offices, and is solely responsible for the acts of the executive. ' The governors of the fourteen prov-inces are vested witli very extensive powers, and to a certain degree inde-pendent of the central executive. Tho army of tho confederation, ex-clusive of the National Guard, consist-ed, in 1880, of 8.)00 infantry, 2500 cav-alry, and 800 artillery. Tho militia and National Guard, numbered 2!l(i,000 men. The army was then commanded by 18 generals, 820 field officers, and 740 other officers. The navy consisted of 89 steamers of various classes, aud a few sailing vessels, having in all 05 guus, aud was manned by 1500 officers and men. Buouos Ayres, where the revolution began, is the chief city aud capital, hav-ing a population of over 800,000. It is a modern city iu every respect the Chicago of South America. It has street-cars- , railway, telegraph aud cable lines; a university, a national college, ladies' normal school, museum, libra-ries, theaters, scientific institutions, several daily papers, parks, boulevards, board of trade, stock ex-change, aud so on. In many respects the Argentiuo re-public is as enterprising, progressive and intelligent as tho United States. It is connected with tho markets of Eu-rope by over twenty lines of steam- - ships, and about fifty vessels sail back aud forth each month. Not much trade is had w ith the United States for lack of transportation facilities on our part. The Argentine republic imports about seventy million dollars worth of manu-factured merchandise every year, of which about one-thir- Is furnished by England, one-fift- by France, one-fift-from Germany, while that of the United States is inconsiderable.

He ia still robust in health, and believes that the creative spirit will be with him until he ia 80. Senator Ingalls receives an average of 1 ,200 letters a day. The services of two typewriters are necessary to dispose of his mail. Prosper Crabbe, whose really impor-tant collection of pictures was sold re-cently, began life as a reporter on The Independence Beige. Gen. W. T. Sherman's annual salary as general of the army, which office has been abolished and which title will die with him, is 15,000.. McLeod, the new president of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, be-gan his railroad career by carrying rods for surveyors. He is abont 42 years old. Gen. Boulanger is said to be writing a drama, with Robert Emmet, the young Irish hero, as the central figure. It is to be brought out at the Free theatre in Paris. , Gilbert, the English dramatist, begins his literary work at about midnight, and keeps on writing until the sun has risen. He is a great consumer of cigar-ettes. .Stanley says that his one aim now is to get away from the crowds, not be-cause he does not wish to. see them, but because they prevent him from doing any work. Carlisle's successor in tho national house of representatives W. W. Dick-erso- n is a tall, dark faced man, who looks more like a preacher than a politician. Gen. Adam E. King, of Baltimore, who has been appointed consul general at Paris, is described as a tall, hand-some man, with white hair and fine black eyes. P. T. Barnnm, the best known show-man in the world, was 80 years old re-cently. He is worth $11,000,000, all of which he has accumulated since his for-tieth year. Marat Halstead writes in the office of The Brooklyn Standard-Unio- n till 2 o'clock in the afternoon, then goes home to the Brevoort house, takes a bath and sleeps an hour and a half, then dines and writes half the evening. The remains of Jefferson Davis lie in the receiving vault of the Army of Northern Virginia in New Orloans. They are guarded by three sentinels a member of the G. A. R. by day and two Confederate soldiers at night. George Francis Train, since his record breaking trip around the world, has quietly settled down on the shores of Puget Sound, near Tacoma. He lives alone, and spends his time in commun-ing with the birds and cultivating psychic force. Bismarck's bedroom contains only three pieces of furnitnre an enormous wash handstand, a small camp bedstead and a bootjack. There used to be a couple of hair brushes. "Take them away," said the prince a few years ago; "a towel will do to part my hair nowa-days." Gen. Caprivi is as simple in his habits as in his tastes. He dines in the middle of the day after a morning of hard work, the menu being of the plainest. After dinner he rides out for a few hours, and then, unless he has to go to Potsdam to see the emperor, he works once more for several hours. THE SEAL CONTROVERSY. A correspondent of The Times states that he attempted to read the Behring sea correspondence, but gave it up, as life was too short to wade through a sea of 15,000 words with which the press was flooded, and he asks us to give him a brief synopsis. As we un-derstand the matter the purchase of Alaska from Russia included the seal islands in Behring sea. The United States and Russia own all the territory bordering, upon that sea, and therefore Die present administration claims that Behring sea is a closed sea. Other claims are set up, one of which is that whether it is or is not a closed sea no-body else has tho right to kill seals in it. This claim was never disputed, lo Russia, nor to the United States after purchase, until 18WJ, and ought not lo bo disputed now. It is also maintained by the United Slates that the method of the Canadian seal vessels in killing the seals in the open sea threatens to exterminate the ani-mals, and is therefore against tho inter-ests of all nations. It will be remcni' bered that to uphold these claims we havo seized several Canadian vessels, aud refused to promise not to seize any more. England, on the other hand, now maintains that Behring sea is not a closed sea, and she claims the right to hunt seals threo miles from the shore, and as to the seizure of vessels she has made a formal protest. This brings the matter to an issue, and in all probabil-ity it will bo settled by arbitration. Meantime war vessels of both coun-tries are watching the Behring sea, and should any more Canadian sealers be seized a collision may be the result. THE SALT LAKE TIMES. By X. A. DAVIS.

At one time he w as a member of the church, but ho now claims to have severed his connection with it. J. H. Hurd, candidate for county at-torney on the workingmen's ticket, is not a Mormon. Joseph B. Toronto, candidate for treasurer, is a Mormon, and was for fifteen years a professor in tho Deseret University, but lost his position some time ago on account of his connectiou with the Mormon church. Lorenzo Cracroft, candidate for cor-oner, is a painter employed by a Mor-mon linn, lie, however, claims to be a Liberal. He is the other of the two actual worklngmon on tho ticket. It will be seen that tho fusion ticket is made up of seven candidates who are Mormons or belong to Mormon families, and three others who are Gentiles. Of the three Gentiles one is said to have been originally a Mormon. Is it not pretty conclusive, from the above, (hat the workingmen's ticket was prepared by the People's party, and that the People's party worked up the bogus workingmen's movement? It was a cut and dried affair all the way through. Any man who votes tho workingmen's ticket will simply be voting for tho Peo-ple's party. We don't believe any honest Liberal workingmau will do it. Lot the Liberal workingmen carefully scrutinize tho ticket. They will see that it is a Mormon dose, and they will have none of it. ' THK FUSION TICKET, Now that Mr. Rawlins has declined tho norainaliou of county attorney ten-dered him by the People's party, the ticket of that party is identically the Bame as that of the indepen-dent workingmen. Let us see who com-pose this mongrel ticket. Fergus Ferguson, nominee for county clerk, comes from a Mormon family, lie was oue of the leading workers among the Liberals last February, and worked up the testimony in the natural-ization cases before Judge Anderson, lie was deputy clerk of the third district court under Mr. McMillan two years ago. His brother, Barlow Ferguson, is a prominent member of the Mormon church. Tho friends of Fergus Fergu-son are somewhat surprised at Ids ac-tion in accepting a nomination for tho purpose of defeating the Liberal party. Why he should now join a retrograde movement is rather singular, to say the least. Mr. Johu H. Kumel, the caudidate for recorder, although not a member ot the Mormon church, comes of a Mormon family. J. H. Clive, candidate for assessor, is a Mormon. Andrew J. Burt, caudidate for sheriff, belongs to a Mormon family. He was recently indicted by the grand jury for paying out county mouey for elcctiou purposes in the interests of the People's parly. George K. Cushing, candidate for st'ldctinau, is oue of the two working-me- n on the ticket, lie claims lo be a Gentile, although it is said that he came here some years ago as a Mormon from Ehglaud. Lafayette Burton, nominated for sur-veyor, is a member of one of the 1 FROM PROVQ. T'no electric wires are being stretched to the principal business houses in the city. The patronage this enterprise is receiving is very flattering and the com-pany is pushing the work ahead as fast as is practical. The lights will be burn-ing this week. At a meeting of the board of directors of the insane asylum held last Saturday the business of letting the contract was disposed of. Tho brick, mason and carpenter work was let to the Provo Lumber and Building company. About 250 men aro employed on the building and the work is 'beginning to hum. John Grler will have the contract for plastering. . The Hreniau are arranging for an ex-cursion and ball to tho Garden City bathing resort on Wednesday, July 80. About 100 tickets are already sold for the ball. August 0th the veteran fireman of Salt Lake will join with Provo in an excursion to the lake where an elaborate programme will bo given. The opera house band has been secured for the afternoon concert and evening ball. Hold & Johnson's band will also be present. Little Kate is taking a rest today and having some of her bruises attended to. Her labors since Julj 24th havo been almost bevond what she is capacitated to fulfill. Some damage has also been done to one of the cars by being pushed from the track in backing up from the lake. A. B. Tomson was in Provo yester-day, exhibiting the prospectus of a cam-paign bulletin to be issued before the coining election. Men who know whereof they speak state that a new bank is soon to be es-tablished in tho Taylor block. The business that is looming up in that part of the city will justify this enterprise, and we hope to give full particulars ia this connection at an early day. Felt, Olson & Co. have bought the Arcade restaurant fixtures and have placed a French cook in charge. They will run the business this way until Au-gust !J4, when they expect to re-re-their building. A FEW WORDM TO HONEST WORK-1NUME-The independent working-men'- s ticket was put up, so it is claimed, by the originators of the movement, because the Liberal convention did not give an office to Mr. Cracroft, who wanted to bo recorder. He is now the candidate for coroner on the fusion ticket. Certainly quite a drop from re-corder. As we understand It, Mr. Cra-croft did not participate in the Liberal primaries, or make his desire generally known. He had no one to place him in nomination before the Liberal con-vention or to advocate' his claims. The convention did not knjw that Mr. Cracroft was au aspirant for office. Bui even if he were, what then? Would the worklngmen be benefited as a body by the election of one of their number to office? Would not suoh an election be simply a personal benefit lo the individual? Has not the Liberal party been the meaus of giving to the workiugmeu gen-erally of this city a thousand more benefits in various ways than could be secured by the election of any oue man to office? Has not the Liberal parly inaugurated an era of progress and im-provement, the result of which is plenty of work and good wages, thus directly benefitting every worklngnian? Is it not evident to every common sense workingmau that it is to his interest to work for the success of the Liberal ticket? Will tho workingmen of this city be led away from their own in-terest by a disappointed office-seeker- ? We think not. i - -. - THE LIBERAL TICKET. 1'or county clerk C, K.

UTAH COKING COAL. The commercial supremacy of a na-tion depends largely upon its mineral resources. In the long run the useful, rather than the precious, metals are most permanent and valuable. The coal and iron of Great Britain lie at the foundation of her material greatness. Already her capacities are being guaged by tho enormous consumption and the increasing difficulty and expense of productiuu and manufacture on these mineral lines. The virgin soil and mineral resources of tho United States are coming to the front and it is but a question of time when this nation will lead the world in both agricultural and mineral produc-tion. For nearly tweuty years, as the result of an infamous legislative crime, the right arm of our national prosperity has been paralyzed by the anti-silve- r heresy aud policy. Bondholders and Pharisees and Publicans of the nation have been in the ascendant. Consumers have fattened at the expense of producers. The tables are turned or turning, and witli the royal metals again united on equal terms, every de-partment of industry will be infused with new blood and the body-politi- c will be resurrected to a new life. What part must Utah play in the na-tional grand march lo the front? Oc-cupying a central position, with a su-perior climate and a fertilo soil, it may truthfully be said of her that she stands in tho variety and extent of her mineral resources. Let us con-lin- o our attention to one feature of the situation, less understood than any other. The massive mountains and of first - class irou ore found within tho boundaries of Utal havo, by their magnitude, attracted the attention and public mention of distinguished scientists and a general knowledge of their extent and variety prevails. But the existence and con-tiguity of good coking coal, so neces-sary in the successful manufacture of iron, is doubted by some and denied by olhors. Frequent inquiries from eastern capitalists with regard-t- this matter, and the evident inability of many who assume lo speak authoritatively of the mineral resources of Utah to answer these inquiries, call for emphatio and repeated statements in this connec-tion. Tho eastern slope of the Wasalch mountains for some miles north aud many miles south of tho Price river and canyon furnish exhaustless fields of coking coal. At Castle Gate, at Sunny-sid- e and in Huntington canyon tests and manufacture of coke in the past and at present have settled the question of the existence of a vast area of excellent coal for domestic and cooking purposes wltbiu striking distance of our central and southern iron fields. The smelters south of this city, somo if not all of them, are at present using this Utah coko and enquiring capitalists can easily verify to their own satisfaction, the qualities of both coal and coko. At the Mining Exchange in this city, specimens of large and well-opene-veins of this coal and of coke made from it, with a map of a number of thousand of acres opened and exposed in Huntington canyon, are on exhibi-tion. The mountains are full of this coal, and in accessible cauyons it is largely held by original discoverers ready and willing to treat with aud soil to railroad aud irou men on very reas-onable terms. In fact, today there is no investment which will pay so well in the long run as the purchase of these coal lands. It is but a question of time, when this vast field of coking coal, the one and ouly known deposit of the kind in this territory taken in eonuectiou with the iron manufacture, will furnish material for the ultimate leading indus-try of Utah. The Pittsburgh of the Pacific slope, will, iu the uear futuro, cloud the clear sky of southern Utah, with the smoke from her tall chimneys as she furnishes this whole inter-mouutai- u region with manufactured articles aud steel rails from tho crude material iu our moun-tains. With beckoning hand to united capital and labor the grand material resources stored in these mountains and foot hills' by a beniticent Creator, await their advent. Tho anvil chorus which will welcome their coming will drowu the present pitiful p:pingof puny place-men and pot-hous- e politicians, and un-ity of effort will crowd our broad aven-ues with the caravans of commerce aud the Uugible evidences of material pros-perity. ..... Tiikki: was a great dual of complaint about tho street sprinkling today. Clouds of dust were Hying about the business streets, and there was a gen-eral inquiry as to what had become of the sprinkling carts, The contractor should give his force a lively turning over. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. Frederick S. Parker and Jessie S. Beale were married by verbal contract in a restaurant at Sau Diego, Cal., a few days ago. Severe quarantine regulations have been established at the port of New York, in view of tho yellow fever now-ragin-in Havana. Mary Wollstonecrofi's "Rights of Women," which was printed in London more than one hundred years ago, is to be issued again very soon. Trees do not suffer from electric lights, as has been supposed. Dr. Siemens is said to have proved by ex-periment that the electric light aids vegetation. The act restricting the influx of Chinese into V ictoria, N. S. W., oper-ates so well that only thirty-seve- n of them arrived during' the first throe months of the present year. Tho result in the Soudan may once more change the face of European politics. It looks now as if tho best fighting tribes has joined it, and seri-ous consequences for the mahdi may be expected to follow. There is a large farm in Mississippi in which there is only one old w hin, and that is not usetj. Tho owner will not pormit tho whip to be used on any of the stock, and tho animals work with a will without feeling the lash. A Georgia editor, says the Atlanta Constitution, borrowed a mule to plow his garden. When quiet was restored the editor was found under an outhouse, four panels of fence were gone and the mule was eating roasting ears in a neighboring truck patch. At Neuendorf, Prussia, the lightning tired the gable end of a barn where a pair of storks had built their nest for years. The flames soon caught the nest in which the brood was screaming, but tho mother stork, refusing to leave, spread her wings over the young onos and was burned alive. A hostess of authority in Paris has adopted the innovation of seating a large dinner party at small tables. It is said that tho French view of flirtation, from which thoir young people have hitherto been carefully guarded, has materially changed, and that it is to become an admitted feature of their society. The St. James' Gazette makes tho statsment that there is a schism in the Knglish church as to what one's ghost is, one side holding that it has an exist-ence ot its own and can walk abroad as it likes, tho other party thinking that it is begotten by the relation between the minds of two living persons that it is, in fact, a hallucina- - uon." James Ishum's valuable cow, of Rock-vill- N. Y committed suicide the other day iu a verv singular way. The door or the tobacco shed having been left ajar, the melancholy animal pried the door wide open, passed within and de-liberately swallowed tho contents of a half-pouu- d can of paris green. She died the samo afternoon in great agony. Dissatisfied with tho census enumera-tion, the Busiucss Men's Association of Hannibal, Mo., employed two compet- ent men to make a recount of the sec-ond ward, the smallest ward iu thocitv. The government enumerator returned the population of the ward at 1,970 The recount, which was concluded ou Thursday, makes the population y 45s ' agaiuof482! By the English law heirlooms ar exempt from probate duty, so the duke of Hamilton paid nothing on the treas- ures of his palace when he came into possession in 18ti3. But when he sold Ihem they ceased to be heirlooms it ap- pears, and the board of inlaud revenue has shocked his grace with a sudden demand for JEltJ.WK) or three per cent on the 0t)0,000 realized from the Hamilton palace sale.
