in ma v precious metals; rich EN-
broidery in gold and silver thread, pre-
scented by the Arsblans oil Cairo.

Their Remedy.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.
The Times Washington special says
the Chairman Of the Committee on the
Texas Border will call his committee
together to day tor the purpose of or
ganizing. 1t is not the intention OF
this committee to go to Texas to exam
inc the evidence which it is to lay be-
fore Congress, but it will summon be-
fore it the army officers who have
served on the border and will make
free use of the reports which have
been made to the War Department al
various times by different committees
and officers who have been sent there.
S~chleichsr thinks the only way to put
an end to these border on RACES will be
to increase the of troops on
RI a ToyoS frnntior opd , lul man in
diciously posted along the Rio Grande
would have the effect to put an end to
he systematic line of stealing that has
beel carried on &C successfully
rs so many years. There is q strip of
territory along Northern Mexico which
i, called Free Belt" In it no taxes
are collected for revenue or customs,
and the result is it is filled up with a
gang of vagabonds whose business is
murder and cattle stealing. The Mex
lean authorities have encouraged the
ystem of cattle theft in the following
WY: Some OF tie number would go
to Americans on the Texas border and
ask the figures for cattle oftheir wners
and when the prices we're given they
would not agree To give them, but
| would cross the river and make con
tracts wi II the thieves, who would go
over and steal the cattle from their
owners. The people have become 80
thoroughly exaggerated by this com
plicated condition OF affairs that they
have resolved that they will put an end
to it if the Government does not.
Schleicher thinks s%tationing more
troops in Texas is positively essential
to avoid 4 war, as the people if un pro-
tected will organize and cross the bor-
der and retaliate, and their retaliation
will constitute an act Of aggression on
u part and therefore form q basis for
war. He expects to present his report
to Congress within a month and only
asks Congress to station more troops
than have been allowed, two thousand
being the limit asked.
The Mi.siag Link Fou nd-Arrest OF
Everett-The Conviction of hat.
cock Insured.
8 CHICAGO, Jan. ID.
The Tribune's Washington special
says hat such links as were missing
in the chain of evidence in the Bah
| cock case are understood now to he
complete. This is brought about by
the unex pected entrapment of Evere /
of the WHISKY ring who served as al
ternate with Joyce and Babcock.
When the cloud burst upon the wills
ky ring he escaped and his absence
WAS q serious draw back to the prosecu-
ton. 1t has come to light within thir-
ty-six hours that he has been xppre-
hended by the GOV eminent detectives,
and that he will be produced upon the
stand to confront his fellow conspira-
tor Babcock as soon as the ease
opens. Facts pointing to the accuracy
OF this Information are we'll grounded,
though the Government officials refuse
to give any information in the matter.
His testimony will undoubtedly settle
the case OF Nc Kee and Mcguire which
have hitherto hung upon pretty slender
threads, rendering the conviction Of
Babcock almost a certainty, and de.
stroying the possibility Of Il . success Of
a nj trial in Avery's ease. The evil
dsnce OF Evertts is valuable merely as
= link in the general chain of testi-
mony, and may be said to complste tho
legal developments of the case on the
part of the prosecution.
