WASHINGTON, August 16.-A thorough
investigation Of the recent alleged viola
ton Of the neutrality laws by Mexico, in
giving protection to prisoners escaped
from New Laredo, Texas, has been begun
by the State Department. The first thing
was to call upon the United States Consul
to investigate the matter and report, and
also to obtain from the War Department
any reports which tho army officers may
have made. The Secretary Of War gave
the necessary instructions, and the mill
tary report is expected in a few days. 1t
is known that the Mexican Government
has assured United States Minister Nor
| gan that the protection given escaped pris-
| oners was not by the Mexican authorities,
| nor with their sanction, and the Mexican
| Government had nothing to do with the
matter. The American officials are in
| clined to adopt this view, and to believe
| that there is nothing to indicate that the
| Mexican Government has violated the
Guadaloupe Hidalgo treaty. The State
Department officials say there is no ill
feeling on the Mexican border between the
Lawo ~nationalities, and there is not likely
to be any trouble.
watching the Exodusters.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 16.-The Demo-
cratic Central Committee opened the cam
paign to-day. Over 200 speakers will de-
liver addresses in the various cities and
towns in the State. Reports from all
quarters are of the most encouraging char
acter. A corps of detectives have been
employed for several weeks in the southern
counties watching the colored exodusters
who have been sent into that section by the
Republicans. The detectives are securing
all necessary data to prevent and punish
any attempts to vote that may be made by
persons who have not yet acquired a resi-
dence. This will deprive the Republicans
of several Thousand illegal votes upon
which they had relied.
Removal of Trade Restrictions.
New YORK, August 16.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says Of the removal by China
Of trade restrictions, unless we are mis-
taken as to the scope of the change, it will
prove to be one of most significant events
to of the Ninteenth Century.
The operation Of the new conditions may
be slow, but it cannot ultimately be a mat
ter of small moment to commercial nations
that 35, 1000, 900 people, whose external
commerce is now limited to $3.50, 900 900,
imports and exports, are now as free as n
other nation to cultivate external trade.
One important result will be that the for
eign trade will no longer be confined to FIVE
treaty ports. The natives at any of the
numerous populous cities ON a vast sea-
board of Empire will henceforth be at lib
erty to transact business with any country.
There is value in this event to foreign mer-
chants, who will ultimately find their way
to doing business through the natives at
ports from which they are now excluded
through the absence Of treaty arrange
ments. The chances Of opening markets
in the heart of China gives more promise
than a hundred of colonies, after which
the European governments are SO eagerly
straining.
Closing the Bloody Chasm.
CHICAGO, August 16.-A Times editorial
summary says: Since the Connecticut
Republicans closed the bloody chasm be-
tween Hartford and New Haven, by nomi-
mating q man from one place for Governor,
and one from the other for Lieutenant
Governor, the Democrats have become
thoroughly alarmed. They meet in State
Convention on Wednesday, and . big row
is anticipated, unless they are fortunate
enough to effect as happy a compromise
between the two towns as their COMPETE
tors did. One or the other of them will
probably go almost solid against them.
Knight Templars.
CHICAGO, August 16.-Commanderies Of
Knights have been arriving all day.
Among them now here are Wyoming No.
/. Of Colorado, and Wyoming No. /, Of
Cheyenne; also full delegations from Ore
gon, California and Nevada, and partial
representations from Alabama, New York,
Ohio, Utah, New Jersey, Tennessee and
Maryland. By tomorrow night the entire
list OF Communicates, numbering $50, will
be here. Late trains have delayed many.
The day will be taken up in receiving the
Commands as they arrive and settling
them in their quarters, and speeches and
welcoming addresses from the Mayor, Gov
ernor and Representatives Of the Grand
Master. The weather is rather cool for
camping, but pleasant and dry. Several
Communicates were serenaded tonight by
the Apollo Quartet. The aid Of the police
was required to resist the encroachments
OF the crowd on the camp-ground and
tents. The city Is already full Of strangers.
