Repeating Export Duty.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Senor Romero
the Mexican minister at Washington,
has received official information from
the department of state of Mexico to the
effect that the Mexican congress has re-
pealed the export duty on silver coin
and silver bullion, which had been in
existence since the Spanish rule and
which was one Of the principal draw
backs to the mining interests of the
country. Among the several reasons
which determined the Mexican congress
to repeal that duty is the wish to encour-
age the investing of American capital
in the Mexican mines. This act of con-
gress will take effect on the 1st of Nov
embcr next.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Soothing Tonic Found In Contemplating tn

Soothing Tonic Found In Contemplating the
Next House.
Washington Special to the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press:-The Southern Demo
Gratis in Congress have been in receipt
of letters for days from prominent Dem
ocrats of their respective states convey
ing the startling intelligence that the
greatest distrust exists in the Democrat
ic party of the south respecting the fall
elections. The impression, they stated,
seemed to prevail among Democrats
that the coalitions fostercd by the adj
ministration in the Southern states
would carry everything before them.
The Democrats, they said, were becom-
ing disheartened. Thereupon the Dem
ocrats in the house, realizing the neces-
sity of reassuring their party friends,
canvassed among themselves the Demo
cratic chances in the coming election.
BY close calculation, throwing out all
specializing elements, they came to the
pleasing conclusion that the Democrats
would have majority of II in the next
house. The statement was solemnly and
formally made up and transmitted to
the chairmen of the state central COM
mittees of the south. Nothing has vet
been heard of the effect of this tonic on
the enervated Bourbons.

Reaching for HOwgate.

WASHINGTON, June 10 To-day the
case of the United States VS.. H. w.
Howgate, was heard in the. circuit court
on demurrer. 1t will be remembered
that Capt. Howgate's property, after
his arrest in August last, was attached
in a civil suit to recover S101, 257, which
it was claimed was embezzled from the
government. The demurrer raised the
points that the declaration fails to show
any right to recover judgment, that it
fails to show that it was instituted by
authority, that it fails to show that w.
A. Cook, who signs his name as spe-
cial attorney. was an officer of the gov
eminent, or had any right or power to
institute said suit. After brief argu-
ment the demurrer was overruled

Too Much Rain.

CLINTON, H., June 1.-The greatest
encouragement prevails in Central Hi
nois over the frequent rains of late,
which have damaged eorn-growing fear
fully. There are still hundreds of acres
that are not planted and cannot be on
account of the wet ground. All the corn
on the lowlsnds has been drowned out
or nearly SO. while that ON the higher
ground has suffered from too much wa
ter. Wheat is doing well while oats are
suffering no little amount from the same
causes. The prospects are very poor for

New York. June 1l.-Leonard Ira y
and Alexander Brown fought fifty-seven
rounds with bare fis,o at Coney Island
this morning, for 5000 side. The form
eris peddler and the latter bartender.
Both men were under bail to keep the
peace. Tracy was seconded by Dunno,
of Brooklyn, and Brown by Charles
johnson. The fight lasted for over an
hour and half Tracy drew first blood.
Seven fouls were claimed by Brown. but
not allowed by the referee, William
Saunders. On the final round Tracy
seized Brown by the legs and threw him.
A general wrangle followed. When
quiet was restored, time was called, but
Browns hackers refused to let him
re-enter the ring declaring the fight un-
fair. Tracy claimed the victory. He
was severely punished. The fight took
place in bar-room lighted by oil lamps

Gold Going.

New YORK. June 10.-Since early in
April we have sent to Europe about
Si7 900. 600 OF gold The greater part
has gone to Italy, having been sent
thither by the contractors who agreed
to supply that country with the gold
necessary to enable it to resume specie
payments. 1t is probable that had
it not been for this exceptional demand
much less gold would have been sent in
liquidation of the trade balance against
us. 1t is supposed there will be about
$40, 900. 900 more required of the United
States TOR Italian account before the
contractors fulfill their agreement, and
il Is not likely that any more will be
taken from the Bank of England than
can be avoided.

Department explains the disturbed ma

out any explanations from a special

Window Whiskey Committee, which
was 10 have had a session to-day, post
poned action until Wednesday. The
friends of the bill extending the bonded
period are getting pretty nervous over
its prospect. Ii is believed that the
game is to prolong the Window investi-

the session, and SO prevent action this
session on the bill. The Senate will, of
course, do nothing until the committee
reports, and, even then, will be sure to

send it back to the House for further
action. Itnow seems exceedingly doubt

ional elections Of 1878 and 1880 which
passed the House very quietly recently
1t was on the appropriation of this sum
that the Democratic congress made the
great fight during which it was threat

mission. The starving process it is
needless to add was not attended with

RAGING RAIN.
A Terrible Storm Passes over Denver Doing much
Damage.

IerfiDie STORM Passes over Denver Doing much
Damage.
DENVER, Colo, June 1l.-One of the
heaviest transforms ever known in this
section, accompanied by water spouts,
swept over Denver last night, doing
thousands of dollars worth of damage
in the city and surrounding country.
Cellars and Easements were filled with
water. Several houses near the Plat e
river were swept away. The bodies of
two men, Ludwig Mener and Fiedele
Drier, Germans, who were in one of the
houses, have been recovered. The
bodies of three children drowned have
not yet been found. 1t is feared that
other lives besides these five were lost.
1t is impossible to give the full extent of
the damage at present. The storm
reached over several miles of thickly-
settled country AT Golden several
houses were washed away. The Cam
brian Fire-B works were struck by
lightning and completely destroyed.
