FRENCH EVACUATION OF MEXICO A
French paper published in the city of Mexico
claims to know exactly the result of the last
negotiation with the imperial government, and
that Her Majesty could not but fail. as her
propositions were contrary to engagements
which France had contracted with the United
States The movement of troops will be car
ried out to the very letter of the agreement
with the United States. Letters from the
same place say that Maxmilian's abdication is
considered certain, but that it will not take
place for some months yet. In that event, a
correspondent of the New York Herald saws:
The advisability of an American protector
ate has been fully canvassed in this city, and
prominent men from every State in the EN-
pire have become its advocates. Looking to the
possibility of the sudden abdication of the EN-
peror at any time, it is proposed in the event
of Maximilian's resignation, that the govern
ment be administered by a Triumvirate, ap-
pointed by junta ofnotables until a Congress
can be elected and a President inauguarated-
This Triumvirate, as soon as appointed, to
send commissioners to the United States to
pace Mexico under American protection, and

HoUsER WOULD NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
A couple of days before the attempted
suicide, Buser furnished Houser with a

CURIosITY-sEEKE

Early in the morning, strangers and
those living in the adjacent rural districts
commenced focking to town, sing!y and
in squads. At 10 o'clock, the Branch
train came in, loaded down with passen-
gers. Of the many hundreds who came,
actuated by that indefnable curiosity con-
veniently styled morbid, only compare
lively small number were admitted inside
the jail-yard. Those refused ingress
ranged themselves outside the walls, as
near thereto as possible, and, though they
could see nor hear aught of what was
transpiring within, retained their position,
beneath broiling sun, for several weary
hours.
