There has been another disturbance on
the Mexican border,and Governor Hubbard,
OF Texas, has appealed to the President for
United States troops to come to the aid of
the State authorities. But this time the
quarrel is not international, but between
Mexicans, resident on our soil, and other
residents. The disturbance grew out of an
old controversy as to the right ofMexcans to
the use of certain salt lakes in Texas. Quite
recently new attempt to levy a toll upon
the salt taken from these lakes was made.
An American, who was in some way mixed
up with this controversy, killed an Italian
who had espoused the cause of the Mexicans,
and was very popular among them. The
Mexieans attempted to lynch the American;
the Texas State troops defended the prisoner
and domestic conflict ensued. There is
no danger of the two nations being embroil-
ed over the matter, nor is there any appre-
hensicn of war on account of the Rio Grande
difficulties,

EARLY last month says the Public Ledqer,
the agent Of the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
residing in St. Petersburg, sent cable des-
patch to the firm in Philadelphia, stating
that the Imperial Government required
large number oflocomotives at once and ask
ing whether the Baldwin Works could furn-
ish forty frst-clOss engines by February,
1878. Mr.. Charles T. Parry, one of the
company, at once sailed for Russia to see
about the matter, and TO secure the contract
If possible. The result of his visit was an
order received from Mr.. Parry Monday for
the works to proceed at once to build forty of
the largest-sized first-class freight engines of
the five-toot guage, to be completed during
February and March, 1878. In a letter re.
ceived by the firm from Mr.. Parry, few
days ago, no stated that the Russian
Government has absorbed nearly all the
railway plant for war purposes, and that il
is being rapidly used up and destroyed in
that ruinous service. Meanwhile the largest
crop of wheat ever raised in Southern Rus
sa and Bulgaria is rotting in the bins for
need of transportation, This wheat usually
finds an outlet from the Black Sea ports,
will have to be transported by rail to the
Baltic ports, and about three hundred new
engines will be required at once. A large
proportion of these will, however, be built in
Europe The value Of the forty engines to
be built at the Baldwin works will be over
half million dollars. About eleven hun.
dred men are now employed in the works
but this order will necessitate large add.
tion 10 the force, and from seven 10 eipht
hundred additional men will DO taken on a.
