An Important question, concerning

the treasury, and an answer Is ex-
pected at an early day. The question
Is whether the earnings for such
transportation on subsidized lines,
leased a1d operated by the Pacific
railway companies, can DO lawfully
withheld (.s Is now the practice of the
treasury Department. or whether the
amounts shall be paid to the com.
panies In cash The attorney general
has given an opinion that the portion
Of their earnings derived from gov
eminent transportation on unsubsi-

of the supreme court and
he referred the matter to the attorney

WASHINGTON, May Sat the
Mexican legation some anxiety seems
to be felt that the attitude of the
Mexican government Ia relation to
crossing the border by United States
troops in pursuit of hostile Indians
should he correctly stated. 1t Is
thought that the circumstances under
which orders were issued last Satur.
day to General Crook, notifying him
to adhere strictly to the terms of the
convention between the two countries,
have not been fully explained, and
that the impression may be created
that the application of this government
for q modification of the convention
was made some time ago and refused
at q critical moment, when Crook had
crossed the border. Ihs circumstances,
as they were explained to the assoclst.
ed press reporter, who called at the
legation tonight, are as follows: Ga
the 29.h of July, 1882. the United
States government proposed o modif-
cation of the agreement Of IDLY, 1881,
which were in substance that com.
manders of the United States and
Mexican troops be authorized to
change the terms of agreement when
ia their judgement it was advisable,
80 that the commander of either army
might cross the border with his
troops to attack hostile Indians at any
time. Seaor Romero, Mexican
minister here, cabled the term,
Of the proposition to his govern,
ment and on the 26 h received an
answer that the govern ment signed al
this city the agreement with the
United States government, by virtue
OF which regular troops of each coun
try we're authorized to pass over the
border into the territory of the other
in pursuit. of hostile indians under
certain limitations, which were a. the
time thought convenient and desirable
by both contracting parties. On the
24th OF April, 1888, the state depart
msnt received through the legation
here, a communication from the Mex,
lean government that 1t was ready
to consider all modification
proposed by the United States, ane
accept such as, in thoir opinion, were
calculated to attain the object OF tina
agreement, which, as they under
stood 1t, was the speedy destruction o
hostile Indians 1t is explained tina
the Mexican constitution requires tn,
consent of the Mexican senate to pass
ing of foreign troops through Mexi
can territory, the same formality be-
Ing necessary for ratification of a treaty

powered to act In either case withou
the approval of the senate.

TIE BIvouAc OF THE DEAD.

The mufYied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
"On fame's eternal camping ground
Thir silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivieuac Of the dead"
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
Nor troubled thought at midnight
baunts
OF loved ones left behind.
No vision OF the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms
No braying horn, no screaming fife,
at dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed i'm dust
Is now their martial shroud
nav
washed
Tho red stain from each brow
And the proud forms by battle gashed.
Are free from anguish now.
The neigh hi ng troop, the flashing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful eannonade,
The din and shout nre passed.
No Wars wild notes. no Glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight,
Those breasts that never more may
feel.
The rapture Of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Come down the scrried foe.

Break DER the field beneath,
