so an Act supplementary thereto in the year
1888. Commissioners were appointed 10 ef-
feet said pari,ion--of whom Johnson was one
and Brigham another. In 1899, the Legisla.
,ure of Iowa repealed said acts of Wisconsin,
thus defeating the partition; but taking spe-
cial care that the Commissioners should be
paid for service, while the act Of Repeal made
utterly imperative and useless to The owners

From SANTA FLA letter from
Santa Fe published in the St. Louis
Republican, states that the season for
trade is nearly over. A forced loan Of
ST., 600 has becn ordered by the Gov
Iernor and Assembly of the department
to pay off the soldiers. The levy
made great deal Of excitement, and
was resisted by many of the wealthy
inhabitants. Among them was an IT.
ish trader, who refused TO pay on the
ground that he was British subject.
Still they prohibited him from selling
his goods. The letters state that he
is in reality citizen of the United
States, bat that knowing it would be
useless to appeal to that Government,
he has sought redress from the British
authority. Many Of the United States
citizens have applied for British pro-
lection, and the letter gives the follow
facts in explanation.
Sin the last ten years, six American
citizens have been murdered in this
department of New Mexico, the Grim
inals never brought to justice, never
punishcd-the American Minister at
Mexico duly informed of the facts, but
no notice taken of them-and the
goods and affects Of the murdered men
have, in many instances. gone into the
public treasury. A United States
Consul was seven years ago appointed
no steps were taken by our Minis
ter at Mexico TO have him acknowl-
edged.
About two yeas ago he barely escap-
ed being murdered in his own housc.--
the matter was flIy laid before our
Minister mt Mexico, subsequently be-
fore the Department of State at home
no steps, asis yet known. have been
taken to obtain satislaciion-and it re-
mains yet unacknowledgcd by this
Government. If trader dies, his
property goes to the Government OF
New Mexico. A Mr.. Kirtnall died
few days ago-no one is authorized TO
administer on his property; and Of
course it will go into the public treas
ury. Now, in the face Of all these
facts, can any one be blamed for lor-
swearing his country, and claiming pro.
lection when he can! An instance
lately occurred where Americans and
Englishmen were passing in the same
caravan through the city of Zacatecas,
the Americans were stared and boot
ed at, the Englishmen passed unmo-

cided comment on American ncgocia-
