A San Francisco paper has a very improb,
able story that the Mexican government has
proposed to the government of the United
States to cede to the latter all that portion of
the Mexican territory Lying north Of a line OF
latitude drawn directly from the mouth of the
Rio Grande to the Pacific ocean, and that the
matter will engross the attention Of Congress,
at its next session, with the greatest probability
of its acceptance. According to this we would
obtain possession of Lower California, Sonora,
Coahuila, Nuva Leon, aud portions of Duran
60 and Sipaloa. The reasons given for the
anxiety Of Mexico to part with this vast terri.
tory are various!y represented

A double warning comes by telegraph against
the dangers of allowing children to stroll or to
play on or about railroad tracks. % Friday
last near Delhi, in Illinois, little child was
run over and instantly killed by a passenger
train, and its mother, on seeing the putilated
body, at once became insane. % the same
day, lad named Charles Lille, while playing
on the track at North Elizabeth, n. j., was
struck by an express train aud instantly killed.
These two tragedies, occurring on the same
day, ought to carry lesson as far as their It'd

The Fseuch Cabinet has been at least tenn
porariy reorgauizad by the appointment of DE
Chahaud LA Lour and Mathien Bodet to the
Dcpartmcutssof the Interior aud Of Finance re-
spectiveIy. This arrangement seems to be re-
garded as a blow to the Bonapartists. Icster-
day the President of the Council SEATED to the
Assembly that inaSmuch as the Ministry under
its new organic ,tion, had had no time to de
tcrmiuc its policy, he would move that the de-
bate 90 the constitutional report be postponed
until Thursday, which was agreed to. On
Thursday, it is stated, Changaraier will move
further postpon"ment until July, 1915. Ii
is the general Impression that the appointment
of Chabapd La Tour is only temporary, and
that the Ministry will be t.ally rearrangcd,
after the vote 90 the constitutional bills.
