MEXICO.

CRY OF Mexico, March 2.-The Mex.
ican government has made an official an
swer TO Great Britain's demand for dam
ages In consequence OF raids by Mexicans
on British Honduras. In answer the
government says 1t will do everything in
It's power to prevent repetition Of these
dcpredatIons, but refuses 10 entertain the
proposition for damages. The govern
ment also hopes England will not carry
out the threat contained in its note to in
Vade the territory OF Mexico should its
demand not be conceded, and declares
that the Republic has always observed
its lawful obligations.
Tho Trail D Union says the religious
troubles are apparently revivlhg. Ashort
time ago priest, clad in the garb Of his
order, appeared IN the streets and pro-
tested against the enforcement OF the lib
cralizipg law in regard 10 religious wor-
ship. The Government has issued an or
der, however. that the law must Oe fully
observed. Under its operation Pro.
testanism IS making rapid progress
throughout the Republic. This rapid
spread of Protestantism gives great Of
fence TO the Catholic Priestood, who are
using every means TO prevent its growth
and circumscribe this influence. The
consequence OF their efforts has been the
occurrance Of several deplorable scenes
lately. Very recently crowd ol fanatics,
excited to a frenzy by tho sermons Of
some Of the Priests, made an attack upon
a congregation ofProtestants worshipping
in church in San Luis. No one was killed
80 far as known, but several were injured.
The. police finally dispersed the rioters.
These occurrences bode misfortune in the
future unless the authorities interposc At
once and re.establlsh law and order.
A remarkable phenomenon was wit
messed recently in the town of San 1gna-
cia Smalow. There was quito shower
Of quicksilver, fine drops, mercury fall.
ing everywhere and covering the plants.
The Inhabitants collected many drops to
preserve as a memento OF this singular
shower, and samples have been secured
for scientific analysis.

Az important case to drinking men

decided in Baltimore Tuesday. Elizabeth
Gellerman, Administrative OF Christian
Gellermau, deceased, brought q suit in the
supreme court, against the KuiCkerbocker
Life Insurance Company, TO recover $9,'
900 on life insurance policy issued to the
deceased husband of plaintiff. Judge
Dobbin, in passing upon tho prayers
which had been offered on both sides, said,
tha, tue contracts Of insurance companies
were to be construed in the same spirit rs
other contracts. lie held that there could
bU no reasons why u condition which
awarded the policy in the event that the
insured did not die OF delirium tremcns
should not be lawful, and that II was con.
sis!cnt with public policy, and as tho
proof showed that Gellcrman died Of de.
.irium trcmcns, the policy was void. With
regard to the promise that the loss should
be paid, alleged to have been made by a
clerk in tho oiIlcG Of the Baltimore agent,
there was no evidence TO show that the
clerk had authority 10 make contracts
binding the company TO pay a loss lor
which It is not liable. Upon this decision
