Both Countries.

Both Countries.
From Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, January 23.-The commits
sion appointed to negotiate commercial
treaty between Mexico and the United
States have completed their labos, the
result OF which has been formally laid
before the President by the Secretary Of
State. The terms OF the treaty provide for
the admission into Mexico, free Of duty, OF
articles OF American production and man
uiactures, covering scventy.three distinct
heads, some OF them embracing many
articles. The present rate OF duty on a
large number OF the articles thus included
is now prohibitory, embracing in the list to
be thus made free such as machinery OF
every description, locomotives, railway iron
and everything entering into railroad con-
struction. In return for. this the United
States is to admit from Mexico free OF duty
twenty-eight enumerated articles, Of which
twenty are now on the free list, and OF the
remaining eight but six are produced or
manufactured in this country. Two Of the
articles are crude, sugar and leaf tobacco.
The former is now produced in but a small
quantity in Mexico, and the object in ma.
king it free is to stimulate its production.
General Grant has been severely criti-
cised on account OF hisconnection as com.
missioner with this treaty and il has been
charged he had some ulterior purpose in
agreeing to it, but the President and Sscre-
tary OF State emphatically give their denial,
and assert that il was with much reluctance
he consented to accept the office OF COM
missioner. The President will commune
cate the treaty to the Senate in few days.
There is but little doubt OF its ratification.

THE MILWAUKEE FIRE
Coroner's Investigation of the Newhail
House Fire.

House Fire.
MILWAUKEE, January 23.-The inquest
in the Newhall House fire commenced this
forenoon. The first testimony read was
that OF Mr.. Bleeker, manager OF the Tom
Thumb Company, who escaped from the
burning building. He had sent in writ
ten deposition which, however, threw 10
light upon the cause Of the fire or condi.
ton OF the building. Landlord Antisdel
then took the stand. He can give no ex-
planation OF its cause but that the fire was
the work OF an incendiary. When
he was around the fire had got such head
way that all he could do was to save him.
self and family. When the latter was safe
lie wanted to return into the building but
was prevented by his sons. 1t was noticed
that there was a very strong smell OF gas,
and this led him to believe that somebody
who set It on fire had turned on the gas,
and the explosion spread the fire with
lightning rapidity through all parts Of the
building. His examination will be con.
tinued during the day. q.

OrR esteemed contemporary the Register

farmers commit suicide. "a Farmer"
writing to the Preston County Journal says
the question is easily answered-"We assess

them languish for a happier State" And
still the Democratic party in West Virginia
sticks to its patent reassessment device, and

PARIS, January 2S.-There was kind OF
panic on the Bourse yesterday. The events
following Prince Napoleon's manifesto, the
restlessness in the Deputies, the uncer-
tainty OF the fate Of government bills and
newspaper denunciations disturbed the
public mind and created disquietude
among the propertied class OF holders OF
rentts and other securities who have thrown
them on the market. The fear oi revolution
ary measures may depreciate them. Prest.

recent scare. guard has been stationed

WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The President
is expressing to members OF Congress the
interest he feels in the pending proposi-
ton TO reduce internal and customs reve-
nues. He says, in terms, that he deems it
very important that such reductions as he
mentioned in his message should be made.
OF course he does not mention details ex.
cept to refer to the recommendations Of
his message. He regards it has essential
that there shall be sharp reduction in in
ternal taxes and considerable revision Of
the tariff. In the matter OF internal reve-
nue., it will be remembered that in
his annual message he recommended the
abolition OF all taxes OF this class, "except
those upon tobacco in its various
forms, and upon distilled spirits
and fermented liquors, and except, also,
the special tax upon the manufacturers
and dealers in such articles. In the matter
OF the tariff, he still urges as then: ''An

cRlMEs AND CRIMINALS.
Murder and Robbery In the Far West.
Oiher Deeds.

CARSON, NEVADA, January 23.-Intelli.
gence has just been received here that on
Friday last the most horrible murder was
committed at Gold Mountain, Esmeralda
county, a place about thirty miles FROM
Candilaria. It is said five men rode into
the camp, entering the store OF silyerman
named Chadwick, and without word Of
warning began firing ut the proprietor and
his assistants The fire lasted for two or
three minutes, resulting in the death OF
Chadwick and his clerk, and severely
wounding another assistant, and the death
OF two robbers, the latter having the ap-
pesrance OF cowboys. The store was
ransacked by the surviving robbers, and
booty amounting TO considerable was
taken. The wounded man crawled
distance OF about eight miles, and gave
the alarm. A posse Of men started for the
scene OF the atrocity, but before they
arrived there, the surviving scoundrels had
been at Silver Peak, q camp 80 miles from
Gold Mountain, where they entered an-
other store, killing the proprietor and his
two clerks, the names Of whom are yet un-
known. There they also got of with large
sum OF mouGy and other valuables. The
robbers are well mounted and armed.
Further details are not yet to be obtained.
That section OF the country is being secured
for them BY determined men, who will
make short work OF the robbers II caught.
MILWAUKEE, January ga terrible
crime was discovered at noon to-day. The
wife OF John Zimbrick, laborer, living on
Sixth street, killed her three children, the
Oldest seven years, the youngest eighteen
months, In most brutal manner, literally
cutting them to pieces aud completely dis
embowling them. The neighbors atten-
ton were attracted to the scene by the
woman's attempt to hang herself in the
outhouse. They cut her down and took
her inside when the horrible spectacle was
discovered. Mrs. Zimbrick was at once ar
rested. She took the arrest very calmly,
stating she had read that it was right to
sacrifice children in the Good Book. The
woman is doubtless suffering from re.
ligious insanity.
The name Of the Bohemian woman who
butchered her three young children this
forenoon in horrible manner is not Zem-
brick but Zempick. The little bodies were
nude and cut up in terrible manner.
The children were aged respectively
4 years, 20 months, and months old,
The Oldest girl was. cut all over the body
and arms and the second oldests
head was cut off near the
shoulders. The lower extremities
hung to the body by thin threads ,ol flesh,
and the body was completely disembowel-
ed. The baby was cut into six pieces, the
head and extremities being completely
severed from the trunk.
