A New CLAIM AGAINST MExGco.-Some

A New CLAIM AGAINST MExGco.-Some
time since we saw it stated that the
Mexican Minister, at Washington City,
had made a formal demand for sum of
about $4,000, being the amount by
which the sum appropriated to, claiman nts
for Mexican spoliations exceeds the sum
found due by the late commission. We
find in the San Francisco papers heavy
demand, which California makes against
the Government of Mexico. whicE will
saborb thirty times this sum.
The San Francisco Herald of the 10Th
states the case is presented to the State
Legislature in a report by one of the
members. More than a hundred years
ago. large amount of property was be-
quea,hed by will in aid of the propaga-
ton of christianity and civilization
among the Indians in California. The
fund was denominated the Pious Fund,
and was administered by the College of
SaE Fernando in Mexico up to the 25th
of May, 1882. Previous to that period,
many loans--some of them forced
were obtained from it for Government
purposes; all of which were acknowledged
to be loans, and secured by hypothecation
of the Government revenues. In May,
1882, the control of the fund was usurp-
ed by the Government, but again relin-
quished in 1886 to the newly organized
diocese of the Californias, and the en-
tire property with its rents and revenues,
was placed in the hands of the first bishop.
| In 1912, Santa Anna again usurped
the fund in behalf of the Government
The bishop made his protest, and the
correspondence which ensued shows that
the act was defended as a measure of
State necessity--not on the ground Of
right-and, on this ground, the property
was delivered, under protest, to the Gov
eminent administrator, Gen. Valencia.
The report claims that it is now the
property of the State of California and
recommends that the President of the
United States be requested to order an
investigation as TO the rightful ownership,
and if it should appear that it belongs to
the State of California, that he take steps
to have it retained out of the nstallnents
due under the treaty of Gandaloupe Hi
dago.
The amount Of the fund was in Feb
ruary, 1912, 81 1855, SIG; of this S5O4, ,964
was drawing interest at various rates,
from to 10 per cent. per annum. TAX
ing 1t at per cent. all around, this would
now amount to S777,630, making the
large amount new due Of 81 .52S, ,4S6.

The SALT LAKE.-Lieut Gunnisor, OF
the Typographical Engineers, who have
been employed for long time past in
the survey of the great Basin III which
the Salt Lake is situated. speaks Of the
lake as all object of the greatest curlosi-
ty The water is about one-tnird salt,
yielding that amount on boiling. Its
density is considerably greater than that
of the Dead Sea. One cal hardly get
his whole body below the surface. In a
sitting position the head and shoulders
will remain above water, such is the
strength of the brine, aud on coming 10
the shore the body is covered over with
an incrustation of salt, in fine crystals
The most surprising thing about 1t is the
fact that during the summer season the
lake throws on shore abundance of salt,
while in the winter season it throws up
glauber salt in large quantities. The
reason of this left to the scientific 10
Judge, and also what becomes of the
enormous amount of fresh wafer poured
into it by three or four large rivers-Jor-
dan, Bear aud We5er-as there is no Wis

The New York Express, of the 10th

EXCITEMENT ON THE FRONTIER OF Tex
As.-The Flag Of the Union, of the 10th
inst. published at Henderson, Rusk conn-
ty,. Texas. gives the following in relation
to Indian disturbances and excitement on
the Frontier:
Capt. Dagget. Of Shelby. who has re-
Gently made tour through the North
western portion of the frontier settle
ments, gave US information that a small
party of Tonkaways, consisting of five
warriors, and one Caddo, who was an
outlaw from his own tribe; had fight
with party of Wacoes, in the vicinity
of Alton. Denton county, about the Goth
April last. That some seven of the Wa
Goes were killed-that the Tonkaways
came into the settlements, in a warlike
attitude, causing great excitemen, among
the citizens The District Courl. being
in session, Immediately adjourne.., and a
runner was sent to Maj. Aruold, who is
in command at Fort Worth. That soon
after, 160 warriors, of the Wico tribe,
came to the Fort painted, with heir bows
strung, and demanded the Tonkaways;
the Wacoes said that the Tonlaways had
been subsisting on the flesh Of their war
riors, who had been killed, and they wan
ted satisfaction. The Wacoes were des-
perately enraged and hostile: The Tonk-
aways were not delivered, and the Wa
Goes left reluctantly, much dissatisfied.
Gen. Harney, on hearing this news, issued
an order to kill all the Indians who were
found below the line, indscriminately.-
If such be the fact, general outbreak is
anticipated. We hope that steps will be
takeE Immediately to give protection to
our frontier settlers. They are greatly ex-
posed. The Indians must and should be
subdued-the sooner the better for our
citiZens.

The WORLDS FAiR.-We have seen
some extracts from English papers, speak
ing desparagingly of the Yankee exhibit

position tha. they would make an i'm

them in the "Crystal Palace which as
yet, these sneerers say, holds nothing
but few patent medicines. ploughs, and
saltcellars. We have had as yet but one
version of the matter. We shall find,
when we hear the truth, that Yankeedom

OF articles of substantial value, in every

butterflies of fashion know nothing of,
and which, even should :hey discover for
what purpose they were designed. they
would be too lazy to use. Uncle Sans
people are thrifty, industrious, pushing,
inventive set of fellows. They believe
in things that are useful; whose sale
while it fills their own pockets, will
be beneficial to mankind. A Yankee s
genins goes beyond glittering outside
and smooth finish. 1t wants to know
what things are made for, and designs
for some practical purpose every thing it
makes. We would ask these sarcastic
critics from abroad, when it was that
Uncle Sam ever suffered by comparison
or competition with England or any
other nation? Was it when Fulton ap.
piled steam to the propelling of boats? Or
when franklin brought lightning from
the clouds? Yankee genius is sublime
and expansive-its objects are service and
durability, not worthlessness and show;
