WASHINGTON NOTES.

The President has pardoned Joyce, the st.
Louis whisky crook.
A Washington telegram Of the goth says
1.-THE administration news from FL Paso con-
firms the reports that the difficulty
there had no international significance. Dis
patches from army officers say that the Mexi-
cans were, in fact, Texans, and did not cross
the Rio Grande. From careful inquiry to-day,
it can be stated that the President sees no
reason or occasion for war with Mexico"
