still continues. Pitkin having stated
that the Grand Jury which found the
bills was entirely Democratic, Fore
man O'Brien states that there were
only four Democratic members out OF
the sixteen. OF the other twelve four
were negroes and the others conserva-
tives and liberals. He also states that
the action taken was entirely on their
own volition, and that no prominent
politicians appeared before the Jury
until summoned as witnesses.
Governor Nichols states that he is
very sorry any action has been taken,
but still adheIes to the determination
OF pardoning them If convicted.
Foreman O'Brien says The indict-
ments were not found upon political
grounds, but upon evident violations
of the laws which they we're bound to
notice, and though the matter may be
laughed at by Northern politicians,
full proof will be had 10 sustain not
only these indictments but others in
high quarters.

The Administration and Mex leo.
WASHINGTON, July IL.
The attitude ofthe Administration to.
ward the Diaz Government has been
the subject of active inquiry to day,
numerous rumors having been put
afioat within the past "a hours that
Diaz is to be recognized at once. The
report favorable 10 Diaz seems to have
been inspired by the friends Of his
Government here. The latter seems to
have full confidence that Senior Malta
will be Immediately received as the
representative OF the Diaz de JdctO
Government in Mexico. In Cabinet
circles, however, it Is said. our Gov
eminent still see ne reason for haste
in recognizing Diaz. and if he is re-
cognized hereafter it will only be a
conditional recognition. The views Of
the State Department regarding Next.
co, there is authority for stating, will
soon be- laid before the President at
length in writing. The strongest
guarantees Of good order along our
borders, Of the payment of indemni-
ties already due and the protection of
the rights of American citizens in the
future, will be exacted. The Admin
istration aims at a full and permanent
settlement OF the vexed Mexican ques-
ton, and 1t will not countenance any
government in that country which
does not furnish strong assurances
that we shall be free from annoysnces
iu that quarter in the future.
A Sensational soup story.
CHICAGO, July 10.
The Inter- Ocean publishes, as a por-
tentous fact, that during the last fort.
night secret agents from the French
Government have arrived in this city,
whose presence is known 10 but a few
in France and to fewer here. They
have secretly contracted with a few
large firms Of Chicago packers for i'm
mense quantities Of army supplies.
The contracts specify not only quanti-
ty and quality but the manne Of pres
ervation and amount OF rations in each
package. A condensed soup, capable
OF preservation for a long period and OF
speedy preparation, has been contract
ed for. Similar agents have been in q
few other large cities of the country
and in Canada. Enough food has been
ordered to sustain q large army during
a long campaign. The Inter- Ocean
considers these operations significant,
in view Of the condition of affairs In
Western Europe.
