SECRETARY FoLGER has recently had
a startling experience in the engraving and
printing bureau. The other night Prof.
CASTELAR, found two OF the Government dies,
representing the tens on the National Bank
notes, lying outside the safe and within the
reach of the watchmen. Through Colonel
Irish the dies were sent at once to Secretary
Folger. who took time to satisfy himself
that the event was caused wholly by care
lessness. Mr.. Bell, the custodian OF the
plates, was dismissed, and Captain Bur-
rows, OF New York, was temporarily placed
in charge of the safes. u. .....
SECRETARY TELLER has Just made an
important ruling in regard to the construc-
ton hereafter to be placed upon the act o.
June 3, 1878, authorizing citizens Of Colora-
do, Nevada and the Territories to fell and
remove timber from public domain for do
nestle purposes. The department has con-
strued the words 'Hfor domestic purposes
to mean the cutting OF timber by individuals
for their own use and not for sale. Numer-
Gus suits have been brought and
many are now pending upon this basis.
Secretary Teller holds to take this view is to
defeat the very intent OF the act, which was
to provide a way by which the needed tim
Der for mines, mills and pioneer towns can
be legally obtained. He holds that any such
use within the State or Territory, whether
by individual cutting timber or by mill Or
mill man to whom it has been sold, is con-
sumption for domestic purposes protected
by this act.
SERIOUS trouble between church and
state is reported in Coahuila, Mexico. Dur
ing the Easter holidays the Catholic clergy
of Satilo, the capital, attempted to have a
street procession, which WAS prohibited.
Angry words arose between the clergy and
authorities, and several priests were impris-
oned, whereupon all the priests were re-
quested to leave Coahuia, and especially
Saltillo, the capital. Divine worship has
ceased at Saltillo, and the people now have
to travel to Monterey to have children bap-
tized. This caused great public dissatis-
faction and serious outbreak is imminent.
Troops are being concentrated. The Mexi-
can press is divided on the subject, the
ablest journals defending the Governor In
his course.
