The motion 10 reduce the salary Of the
British minister at Washington was rejected
by the House of Commons by vote OF
eiyhty-nine to two. The debate on the mo-
ton was unusually interesting. Il arose
from the fact that the approval Of the House
was required to the increase Of salary sup
piled by the government.
Sir Wolff moved thatthe amount the gov
eminent recommended be reduced $4,000.
He said he opposed an increase because Sir
Ed. Thonton's residence at Washington
had been signalized by series Of diplo-
matte disasters and because Americans
would regard such increase as a mark of
continuance by the present government of
the appreciation which the late government
lavished on the negotiations of the Wash
ington tFeaty.
Mr.. Bo1rke, ,Under-SecretaFy of Foreign
Affairs, stated that no blame could attach
to Sir I'd. Thornton for the conduct or re
suit of negotiations with the United States,
and he voted for an addition to. the salary
simply because the expenses OF living in
Washington had increased.

WE have information that bloody trag-
edy occurred last Friday in the Indian Ma
ton, eight miles from Benge's Ferry, on
Red River. A poeso from this side, and
some few Indians, pursuing gang of horse
thieves, overlook them at the point above
indicated, and attempted their arrest. The
thieves, four in number, refused to sur
render, and q fight ensued, in which the
last one of them was killed.
It.is stated that there we're six Of the
gang originally, but that two Of them had
been killed by the Indians at the ferry be-
fore the posas from this side got over.
What were the casualties to the attacking
party we have not yet learned, but suppose
they were slight. The ferfyman came near
losing his lie ct the hands Of one Of the
impatient pursuers, who suspected him Of
collision with the thieves, in being 50 slow
to bring the boat over. A shot was fred 81
