Many Englist. manufacturers looking
about for eligible sites, are turning their
thoughts to America, believing that the
height Of manufacturing progress has been
reached in England. Several English gen
tlemen are now visiting the Western States
with the object of investigating capital in
vestments. The same paper says the Nor
mons are only active emigration agents con-
nected with the United States. Eighty
missionaries came here last year, and in
Europe there are now 400. The Mormons
in England number 10000, and 5000 in
Scandinavia. In Switzerland there is one
Mormon conference and eight missionaries.
English advices state that the emigration
movement to Texas is carried on in London
by the Texas Free Hold Farm and Aid EN-
~igration Union, under a species OF lottery
system; it's subscription tickets selling in al
parts OF Great Britain at two shillings and
six peAc e monthly. The drawings are

team, some stock, farming tools and Gl0

The New York Times Washington spe-
cial says Eyarts' supplemental decision in
the La Abra case exeites some criticism
here. In his first decision Evarts recon-
mended that the case be submitted to Con-
gress for investigation rs to alleged fraudu-
lent eXaggeration Of the claim. Now, how
ever, he recommends that in order to avoid
deprivation of rights of claimants they be
paid a distribntlve share Of the installments
thus far received from Mexico on account of
the awards of the Mexican Claims Commits

measure of real damages. If the matter is
investigated by Congress the Mexican Coy
ernment, it is understood, will endeavor to
prove that the claim is wholly a fraud and
never had a just basis. If that be proved
Congress will be compelled to set the whole
matter aside. This, tits claimed, will place
the Secretary Of State in the rather awk-
, ward position Of having paid part Of a claim
which upon investigation by Congress, at
his w recommendation, was found to be
entirely fraud. In that event the honor of
: the United States, about which Evarts has
said so much, would demand that even the
d%istributiye part of money now paid be re-
turned to Mexico. 1t may therefore come
to pass that Congress will be forced to make
an appropriation to cover the Secretary's
mistake indemnify ing Mexico and protect
ing the honor of this Government.
