SOMETHING MORE OF MACALLIsTER.

We think We have mentioned MacalIister
the Wizard, in another place, at all events
we meant to. Also, furthermore, likewise
and supplemental we herewith reproduce
what the Gold Hill News had to say
about this prestidigitative celebrity Pro
lessor Macallaster concluded most success
full engagement in National Guard Hall, Vir-
ginia, last Saturday evening. During his stay
here the Professor has made many friends,
and his performances were uniformly popu-
lar throughout. The manifest fairness of his
gift system was a great attraction, and result
ed most satisfactorily, for the reason that
whether man got anything Or not, he felt
that he had fair, square chance for his mon
ey. The feeling was so good that some of the
spectators bought as many as sixteen
extra tickets. On Friday night the principal
prize was drawn by boy in the gallery, who
had invested twenty-five cents for his ticket.
1t will be seen by this that all have had an
equal chance. The people of Carson will soon
have a chance to see this wonderful magician.
We heartily commend him and his entertain
ment to them as worthy OF patronage.

It is an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good The unprecedented low stage of water
in the Carson is godsend to Mr.. Boles and
other farmers on the line of that stream
Says the Carson Valley News of July "a:
Mr. Boles will harvest about 100 tons
more hay this season than common. The low
stage OF water in the Carson river this sum-
mer renders it possible to cut many acres of
land that are usually overlooked. Several
other farms along the river are benefited in
the same manner, while others on dryer land
have suffered from lack of water. Judging
from reports of farmers from different parts of
the valley the aggregate yield will fall little,
if any, short OF last year. California people
are already getting anxious to know where
their hay is coming from next winter
they need it we can send them few thousand
tons At any rate the chances are that they
will not ship much to this State, and that pri-
ces will be considerably in advance of last
year

Our Mexican Relations.

~~N~A~SSNs~ ISNNA"OAN4L9'
A long letter was received at the
State Department to day from Mr..
Foster, our Minister at the City of
Mexico, recounting the progress and
results so far of the negotiations
pending in that city between the
United State and Mexican authori-
ties for new treaty between the
two countries.
This new treaty conforms in its
main features and general outline to
the one now subsisting between the
two governments, with an enlarge
ment in the extradition section of
the number Of offences for which ex.
tradition may be demanded and had, ,
together with the addition of an al
together new section, providing that
the regular soldiers of either country
shall be allowed to cross the border
and enter the territory of the other
when in actual pursuit of outlaws
escaping over. .the'frontier. 1t is un.
derstood that this last provision is
the secret Of the delay in the ratif-
cation of the treaty by the Daz gov
ernment and constitutes the hitch
which has kept the paper under de-
bate for the past three months. The
modification Of this section in such a
way that it shall be palatable to the
Mexican people is believed to be the
object of the prolonged series of con .
ferences held in the Mexican capital
with Minister Foster by the officials
Of the Mexican State Department.
1t is understood that Mr.. Foster
insists that there shall be al un-
equivocal definition in the treaty OF
this mutual right of the troops OF
either country to pursue marauders
into the territory OF the other.
During the course of the after
noon 1t was reported that Senor
Mata, the representative Of the Diaz
Government in Washington, had be-
come discouraged; that lie had de-
termined TO desist from any further
efforts to obtain recognition for his
government by the United Ttates.-.
Senor Mata declines to answer in
quiries relative to the present state
Of his relations with the United
States Government, but he admits
that he has very recently received an
official communication from the for
eign department of his government,
of which the pending negotiations
between Minister Foster and Presi-
dent Diaz formed an important fea=
ture, and that he has held confer
ence with the head Of the Depart
ment OF State here. He also nd
mits that he is fully determined to
leave Washington within a short
time and report the result of his ne
gotiations 10 Senor Diaz personally

sentative of the defacto Mexican
Government states, with tinge of
diplomatic humor it may be con-
jectured, that on account of the Sc
verify OF the climate at Washington
he had intended to remain certainly
no longer than the 1st OF September.
He considered it probable, however,
that he would defer his departure for
Mexico until he receives another
dispatch from his government, which
