TUE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEXICAN OUT
RACES.
New York, April 4.
Washington dispatches indicate that our
government is contemplating a change of
policy in dealing with the Mexican govern
ment on the questions presented by the
raid of Mexican citizens into Texas
1t is semi-oflicially stated that the Presi-
dent is about to demand reparation in
money for the loss of life and injury of
property incident TO the depredations of
which Gov. Coke has made such earnest
complaint. The movements of troops Or
dered or foreshadowed show also that the
Texan frontier is to be better protected
than heretofore, if indeed our lines are not
extended into Mexican territory.
THE BLACK HILLS DEVELOPMENTS
The New York World has sent special
correspondent to Sioux City, who writes
have been cleaning something fresh in
relation to the Black Hills, and this state
ment may be regarded as entirely trust
worthy. I have thoroughly Investigated
the stories told. and firmly believe in their
general correctness. These miners; who
wintered there, struck Clusters trail, which
they followed into Clusters park, where
they found the holes dug by his men, in
which they found gold as represented by
the miners, and in due time they sent home
mer who confirm Clusters report.
THE MASONIC HALL DEDICATION.
A procession of 40, 900 Masons will pa
rade here on the occasion of the dedication
OF the new masonic hall in this city, June
I'd. Letters have been received from more
than half of the grand masters in the
United States and Canadas announcing the
intention of the writers to be present on
the occasion.
Charles A. Dana was in the United
States court, Saturday, for a writ of habeas
corpus in order to defeat the effort to take
him to Washington as a witness in Pacific
matters. Decision was deferred until
Tuesday. In the meantime Dana is in
technical custody of the court, but is free
on his parole.
NEW RAILROAD MOVEMENT.
One of the New York evening papers of
Saturday will print the particulars of great
railroad scheme. in which prominent New
Workers and others are engaged. Most
conspicuous in the party are Edward Lee
Plumb and Col. Tom. Scott, known to
represent several railroad corporations
operating in Mexico. There are also in
tercsted such men as Moses Taylor, VIM.
E. Dodge, and other gentlemen constitut-
ing the international railroad company of
Texas, and whose Office Is in Wall street.
1t is Mr.. Plumb's expectation to secure
from the Mexican congress, this month,
the ratification of II contract to build the
proposed road, which Is designed to con-
meet with the Mexican Central railroad at
the city of Leon, and extending northward
to Monterey on the Rio Grandc. unite the
Mexican system of railways with the lines
in the United States. According to report,
1t is Col SCOTS mission in Mexico to cir
cumvent Mr.. Plumb and the New York
capitalists concerned, if this can possibly
be accomplished. According to suspicious
current in some quarters, there is back of
all grand project looking to the acquisi-
ton of territory, perhaps to include the
splendid domain of Lower California but
this idea. as spoken of in New York, re-
ceives little support.
