The Designs on Mexico.

New YORK, March 9th.-The Herald, re.
viewing Mexican affairs, characteristically
says: 1t is whispered that vast designs are
on foot with reference to regions whose min
eral wealth will soon cause California
and Nevada to hide their diminished heads.
If any credence can be given to several OF
our inspired contemporaries, the new plot
against the independence of Mexico far ex-
ceeds in magnitude the abortive designs of
Hayes in 1877, which was so promptly
frowned down by our new Premier. As,
however, Blaine must be supposed to have
the courage of conviction, it is soothing to
reflect upon the dismay which his appoint
ment as Secretary Of State must have carried
into the camp of the relentless plotters
against the peace of the two great American
Republics.
Metropolitan Opera House of New York.
NEW YORK, March 9th-The stockholders
of the Metropolitan Opera House Company
have given up the project of building on Van
derbilt Square, adjoining the Grand Central
Depot. and were yesterday actively negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the block bounded by
West Thirty ninth street, Broadway, West
Fortieth street and Seventh avenue. The
price talked of is $500, ,000 and the sale was
to have been consummated yesterday after
noon. The reason why the stockholders did
not buy the land adjoining the Grand Central
Depot, which they could have had for $780,
600, was the discovery Of a clause in leases
whereby the erection of any other buildings
than residences on the property was prohib-
tied.
Remarkable Electric Light.
CLEVELAND {Ol, March 9th.-A remark
able electric light has been manufactured
here by the Brush Company to order for use
in the British navy. and was successfully
tested yesterday. It has 100, 600 candle
Illuminating power, fifty times greater than
the ordinary electric lamp for street lighting,
and is believed to be the largest and most
powerful light ever made with human hands.
1t is designed to be used in night attacks,
and to scrutinize the sea for torpedoes. A
forty horse-powerengin is required toproduce
the light The carbons used are two inches
and half thick. It is calculated that with
an ordinary reflector beam of light can be
cast 50 powerful that persons fifteen miles
away can see to read by it.
Responsibility Assumed.
WASHINGTON, March 9th.-An inquest was
held yesterday afternoon on the body Of
Harry Frieburn, engineer Of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company, who died
from injuries received in the recent collision
