Americans and two Mexicans became en-.
gagged in quarrel at Ell Paso, and the
two Mexicans were killed. The affair
created great excitement ON both sides Of
the river. On the following day party
of armed Mexicans crossed the river to
take possession of the bodies of their
friends. The Americans grew indignant
at the conduct of the Mexicans, and in a
short time organized a party to attack
them. Meantime the town of Franklin
1.-THE American Ell Paso) was thrown into
a state of the widest excitement, result
ing in conflict between the two parties.
The row became general and bullets flew
thick. During the melee John Hall,
mistaking one Kremkan for Mexican,
shot and instantly killed him and was
himself shot by an American. The
Town Marshal having unsuccessfully en-
deavored to quell the disturbance took
part himself and fatally wounded one
Campbell and Mexican. A number of
others were slightly wounded. Since
Thursday the towns of Ell Paso and
Franklin have been quiet. There will
probably be no further disturbance.
New York, April 10.
The Times says the success of the
ti-Monopoly party, at the recent mum.
cipal election in Jersey City was only
partial, but it nevertheless has much
significance. The city in which this
organization had its origin is simply rail
road ridden. 1t is railroad center, and
the rights of its citizens are not weighed
at all when the demands of the corpora
tions are in question. 1t is alleged that
the Pennsylvania road pays no taxes
whatever to the Jersey City Treasury,
while the other railroad corporations con.
tribute only fraction of what they
ought to. A correspondent says: There
is growing feeling among the masses,
not only in Jersey City but also through
out the State, that the corporations have
gone far enough and that it is now high
time to teach them the rights of the peo-
pie. The feeling is shown by the bulk of
the Republican party just as much as it
is by the Anti-Monopolists themselves,
and undoubtedly this movement will
have an influence in the election this Fall
and may be in elections after that.
The Times publishes statistics from
consular reports showing the extent to
which adutlerated wines are imported in
France, and says there is unquestioned
evidence that the deficiency in home pro-
ducts is supplied by millions of gallons of
wine made in Spain, Italy, Hungary,
Turkey, and even Algiers, brought into
France and there mixed and doctored,
watered and drugged until it assumes the
appearance and taste of the product of
the French vineyards and becomes suited
for the markets once honestly supplied.
This is the substance Of the reports made
to the State Department by consular
agents of the United States stationed in
France.
The Washington special to the Com
mercial Bulletin, usually we'll informed,
says that President Garfield told q Sena.

the Senate was broken this week would
call an extra session Of Congress on Satur.
day, to convene within reasonable time.
WASHINGTON, April 10.
Blair OF New Hampshire (Rep.), offered
the following:
Resolved, that in the Judgment of the
Senate, the public interests require Con-
gress to be convened in public meeting
Immediately.
He read letter asserting that the re-
cent decisions of the Supreme Court
meant ruin to hosiery and knit goods,
and the industry of New England, and
suggesting an extra session as relief
He called the attention of the Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations to
the fact that De Lesseps is digging his
canal to-day, and that it was becoming a
vested right. There would be no remedy
for this if immediate action was not
taken, except war. There were other
considerations which made it almost i'm.
perative that there should be an extra
session, and that as, soon as the House
could be called together. The Senate
was booked until December. The Dem
ocrats had taken their position, and it
would be cowardly for them to retreat.
The Republicans had taken their posi-.
ton, and it would be cowardly for them
to retreat. He offered the resolution
without consultation with his colleagues.
Let the deadlock be broken in a way
which the Democrats would consent to
have it broken.
