The Herald's Washington spesial as
serts that Hayes is without party in
either house. and he desires to have it
so. All expressions made in conversa-
ton by members Of the administration
confirm this. The presidents theory Is
that he shall execute the laws, but that
he will absolutely refrain from the least
attempt 10. influence the action of con-
gress or of any member on any subject

$50 miles along the river, or each side
of the Rio Grande. tha territory be-
tween which, having an aggregate with
of so miles, shall be guarded by mill
tary police of both nations, the troops
of either being permitted to go any
where within said lines on either side
of the river, in pursuit of maranders,
who, when taken, shall be delivered
over for trial to the Judicial authorities
of the territory in which their breaches
Of law and order were committed. 1:
is not probable that Mexico will agree
in terms that Americans in that cOun-
