Did MaximiIian Favor Making Mexico a
RepubIics
Boston, Aug A. A special desp atch to the
Boston Advertiser from Washingto says: DR..
Demeza, now resident of this city, formerly
secretary to General Santa Anna during the
reign of the Emperor Macmillan in Mexico
gives long account today in the Post of an ar
rangement which Santa Anna and his follow
ers sought to make with Maximilian. This,
according to Demeza, had for its object the es-
tablishment of Mexican republic with Maxi
milan as president. Demezs relates that he
went from New York, where Santa Anna was
to the CITY of Mexico, and was able to arrange
for secret interview with the Emperor. The
details of this are given at much length. The
Emperor was induced to hear him through and
to appoint second interview. This was had
and the following propositions considered: j:
First the Emperor to abdicate the throne, and
to proclaim republic under the constitution
of Mexico, established in 1854; second,
Prince Macmillan to assume forthwith the
title and office of president for a term of four
pears, and to issue proclamation convoki ng a
national assembly immediately; third, to an
null the decree of July II, 1866, by which Gen
eral Santa Anna's property was confiscated;
fourth, to appoint General Santa Anna COM
mander -in-chief of the republican army; fifth,
to adopt the necessary measures to satisfy the
foreign creditors of Mexico, SO that the country
might be free entirely from the influence of
the French army. DR.. Demeza claims that at a
third interview agreement embodying these
points was signed by the Emperor and by De-
meza for Santa Anna. The secretary then
started for New York, but soon after reaching
there, through the misrepresentation of spies
Santa Anna and his secretary were both ar
rested by United States authorities. This put
an end to further negotiotions with Mazimil-
ian

A Gypsy Camp.

The long stay of the gypsies among us
brings out very curious speculations as to
their character, business and mode of life.
Don't they steal their horses? Have they
really patience and skill enough to make
their willow baskets? Those lamb quarters
and chickens that they are roasting on their
spits, don't you believe they bagged the
meat alive somewhere? Won't they sudden
ly decamp some night, taking off with them
a curly-headed Springfield boy? Perhaps
they will, and it wouldn't be bad idea to
keep little boys in of nights till the terrible
nomads are gone. But the queries as a whole
cannot be answered confidently. Nobody
complains of pilfered pig, lamb or fowl, and
as for horse-stealing, just who drives off
the farmers pride is one of those things
that no fellow can find out. But there has
thus far been no cry of horse-.hief among
us, though some of our civilized outlaws
have helped themselves rather wantonly
to whole turnouts on occasiOns-and
If thieving were rife, there appears no better
reason for suspecting the gypses than for
suspecting many people who live in wood
houses. "The women folks round here all
lock their doors and talk to us through the
SCREEN" said one of the gypsy men with
smile. "We're used to it and don't mind
it," he ad led, and then, philosophically,
,"Don't you think their own timidity Is the
real cause for it?" Whoever visits their
camp and hears them talk busily about the
sales of the day and evening, sing Romany
Rye Ia gypsy gentlemanl and ether sweet
ballads, will not discover anything fear-in-
spring. They seem to be very industrious
and thrifty, each family working and living
by itself. With cold weather they say they
shall go back into houses and shops to live
and work like the rest of US, and the women
will tell you with something like sigh that
house keeping is much nicer than tenting
and that they are glade when the summers
wanderings are over.-Springfeld Republic

Canadian Railway Systems
Sir Henry Tyler, President Of the Grand
Trunk Railway, denies the ramor to the effect
that he visited Canada for the purpose OF re-
newing negotiations with view to bringing
an amalgamatIon between the Grand Trunk
and Canadian Pacific railways. He states,
however, that friendly arrangement between
these two great rival corporations would have
been arrived at before were it not for the fact
that it was impossible for the Canadian Pacific
to consummate previously made promises. In
the future Sir Henry belieues that the Grand
Trunk will connect with the Northern Pacific
by the way of Sault st. Marie, but in the
meantime the scheme for making entrance
into Winnipeg will not be pushed forward. 1t
is understood that the cooperation of the
Western Railway and the lines by way of Mil
waukee will satisfy the Grand Trunk author
tiles for the present.

The Amalgamated Iron and Steel Workers
convention to-day voted down by unanimous
