Cannot Stop these Outrages the

Gen. Ord Receives Full instructions from
the President and Leaves for

Especial to N. o. Democrat. ]

WASHINGTON, May 29.--Gen. Ord, who
has been holding extended conferences
with the President on the subject OF
Mexican outrages, received full instruc-
tlons to-day after the Cabinet meeting,
and will Immediately return to his post.
His instructions are Ia conformity with
new and vigorous measures toward
Mexico, OF which Diaz has been advised
by energetic dispatches recently for
warded to him from the State Depart
ment. This policy has been determined
on after an exhaustive survey OF our
relations with Mexico, and will be
carried out to any extreme requisite for
the preservation of the integrity OF our
border and the interests OF our citizens.
Our military force on the Rio Grande
will be strengthened by detachments
from the Northern Territories, where
the surrender OF the last remaining
band Of hostile Sioux places q consider
able force at the disposal OF the author
tiles.
OF course it Is impossible to learn the
exact contents Of the dispatches recently
sent by our government to the city OF
Mexico, but 30 far as can be ascertained
they inform Diaz that the United States
cannot be expected to endure Mexican n
outrages any longer. and that II the
present government Of Mexico cannot
restrain its citizens from violating the
laws of nations the United States will
furnish her with stronger govern
ment. BUELL..

1t appears upon investigation by the
Postoffice Department that thus far
only the postmasters upon the Pacific
coast have had trouble In getting rid Of
their surplus silver coin in paying their
balances. In that country silver is a
legal tender to the amount OF five dol
lars. The bankers of Portland, Oregon,
threaten to allow the drafts of the treas
ury to 20 to protest unless the post
masters tender greenbackg. This same
difficulty exists at other offices on the
coast and is constantly on the increase.
The postmaster at Knoxville. Gal, on
this subject writes as follows: "Ths re.
ceipts OF this Office are entirely In silver
greenbacks. Contractors insist upon
being paid In greenbacks. Will the de-
partment consider q tender In silver,
coin an equivalent to the indebtedness
of the office, or will / have to purchase
greenbacks to pay the contractors III
so, will the department allow the differ
ence between silver and greenbacks ?'
In answer to such interrogatories, the
department answers that there 10 no
remedy under the existing laws. The
postmasters, under the law, are required
TO take silver up to five dollars. From
the number of complaints made it is
evident that this will cause much en-
barrassment. Thus far the difficulty
only has occurred where old silver cur
rency was in circulation and has been
crowded out by the subsidiary coinage.
Small change has always been drug
in the Postofflce Department. Recent
ly two Offices forwarded over 10000
three cent pieces to the Treasury De-
partment, where they received full
credit for them. ~.

It is not the intention Of the State De-
partment to make any sweeping changes
In it's reform OF the consular service.
No changes are to be made for political
reasons. The transaction Of business
as shown by consuls' communications
with the State Department will be
closely examined and removals made
where eincompetency or neglectis shown
No new men will be appointed consuls
except where removals are made for
cause or where commissions expire and
a change can be made for the better.
The requirements for consular qualifi-
cations have not had the effect to
diminish the number OF applicants, 1t
was thought that requiring applicants
to be conversant with the languages of
the country where they seek togo would
lessen the numbers. 1t has only result
ed in changing the class Of the appli-
cantS.
There are very large number Of for
eigners, naturalized American citizens,
who come forward now as applicants
for consulships. Tt was the practice OF
Hamilton Fish TO never appoint for
eign- born citizen to his native country.
This policy will not be followed by Sec
retary Evarts. Tt is a very common
thing now to have applicants who speak
three and four languages fuently, but
In nearly every case these applicants
are foreign born. The latest decision
OF the department on the subject is that
none shall be appointed In the Eastern
countries except skilled lawyers. In
these countries the penalties for infrac-
tions OF the law are 80 arbitrary, pecu
liar, and sometimes 30 out OF proportion
to the offense committed, that civilized
nations have by treaty made arrange
ments with the Eastern nations to have
citizens Of the former tried before the
consuls of their country. Some very dis
graceful incidents have occurred in the
history OF the consular service, owing to
the fact that men not lawyers have in
part filed the places. This new rule In
relation to the Eastern consulates will
be strictly adhered to.
The appointment OF Judge Morgan
Of Louisiana, as American representa-
tive upon tho new consulate bench or
ganized by the Khedive Of Egypt, is
under this rule. The proceedings OF
this court are conducted in Italian and
French. The Code Napoleon governs
the action OF the court. The same code
is used in Louisiana. Morgan is also
very familiar with French. He is one
of perhaps half a dozen judges in the
country competent to fill the place.
