ALLEGED MEXICAN OUTRAGE
High-handed Proceedings at the
Port of Tampico.
An American Schooner Seized and Her
Crew Imprisoned.

GALVESTON, Tex, May 6-Capt. Du Jay Of
the American schooner Rebecca of Galveston
in comm unication to the News relates story
of outrage and imprisonment at the hands of
the Mexican authorities at the port of Tampico
on February II last. The schooner in distress
and leaking put into Tampico, carrying regu-
lar clearance papers from Brasbear, La, for
Tampico, but had packages of merchandise for
delivery at Brazos, Tex, which port she was
compelled to pass on account of rough weather
and the dangerous bar. The Collector of Tam
pico forcibly took the 80 packages consigned
to Brazos and ordered the immediate discharge
of the whole cargo. Capt. Du Jay was arrest
ed on a charge Of an attempt to smuggle, was
confined under guard, but was released next
day at the solicitation of the American Minis
ter and the Consul. The Judge before whom
Du jay was tried inspltingly refused to allow
the American Consul to be present to consult
with the prisoner during the trial. After a
litigation of over 40 days the Judge decided
that the goods must pay treble duty, Du Jay
protesting that he had no money. On April
IA the Mexican authorities boarded the
schooner, hauled down the American flag and
embargoed the vessel. The captain appealed
to the American Consul, who placed the crew
in hotel. After short stay Du Jay returned
to the United States, leaving the crew with
the consul and the vessel in the hands of the
Mexicans. He thinks that but for the efforts
of Minister Morgan and Consul Csssard he
would still be confined in Mexican prison.

Blaine on the Pacific Coast.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The following letter from gentleman who
was native Of this State-now citizen of
California-may be OF interest to your readers
at this time:
"As Maine boy have q right to be
Blaine man-but 1t is fact that, applying 9
like test here, nearly all California Repubh-
cans must have been born in Maine. It isa
singular fact, too, that the three hundred and
odd delegates from the South, who cannot
back up their clamoring with q single eector-
al vote. together with Mr.. Curtis and his fol-
lowers in New York-the former at the beck Of
the Administration, and the latter under the
claim Of "lofty superiority" to plan and
organize for the first and foremost object Of de-
feating Blaine.

fully. Mr.. CoDkling had his admirers and
many enemies. Blaine had no enemies, the
feeling appearing to be that all the quarrel be-
tween them was quarrel Of Conkling against
Blaine, and the people did not seem TO regard
Mr.. Conkling's not liking Blaine as any reason
why they should dislike him.
1t is not impossible that the vote Of tho Pa
cific coast may cut quite az important figure
as the Independent vote Of New York. have
no idea that any other Republican would COM
maRd as many votes In this State IS Mr..

cult to measure the effect of sentiment II the
son of Abraham Lincoln is named.
II Blaine is nominated have no idea that
any Democrat could deprive him Of our vote.
Arthur's name would create no enthusiasm.
Edmunds is thoroughly respected for his abili-
ty. Blaine is admired for his brilliancy, and
the soft hat Of the Westerner would keep In
the air for him during the whole campaign.
1t matters not what may be the opinion OF

Political Notes.

1t is perfectly safe to fight the coming political
battle under the leadership of man who has
stopped the mouths Of his enemies and called out
the enthusiastic Endorsement from Republicans of
every State. No President has demeaned himself

all classes than President Arthur.-Chicago Inter.

The possibility of Mr.. Blaine's nomination lies in
the break which may follow after a few ballots.
At the outset he will be probably about sixty votes
short Of nomination. 1t is not diehcult to sec
where these votes may come from. The bulk Of
the Illinois delegation would fall to him IS soon az
Senator Logan should withdraw, unless the opPoei-
ton to Mr.. Blaine should centre Secretary Lin

Indiana. Unless opposition to him centres on Mr..
Gresham or Mr.. Harrison, 1t will DOUBTLESS come to

PRICE THREE CENTS.
What England has Coded to Por-
t1Qal.

The Pail Mall Gazette, in discussing the
Portuguese treaty of the Congo, says: ST
is well to point out that England has no ex-
elusive right to dispose of the sovereignty oil
the Congo. The river is not ours to give
away either to Portugal or to anyone else.
Portugal has always claimed it. France,
Holland and Germany have acknowledged
her right to it. Hitherto we have always
disputed it. Now we withdraw our obiee-
tion and agree to do as our neighbors have
DONE. In return for that CONCESSION We have
driven bargain with the Portuguese which,
although not so good as it might have been,
gives us some substantial advantages. Tho
first thing to ascertain is what we have ced-
ed to Portugal. On this point much confu-
sion exists. We have not coded the Congo
to Portugal. There are two Congos-the
upper and the lower The former is Inn
measurably the most important. The pow
er in command of its waters has four thous-
and miles of uninterrupted river and lake
communication in its control. The Upper
Congo is the proper name for the highroads
of Central Africa. 1t Is the artery OF the
heart of the Dark Continent. But with
that great river the treaty has nothing to do.
1t relates solely to the Lower Congo. The
Lower Congo is practically nothing moro
than blind alley running three hundred
miles inland from the West African coast
and then stopping snort. Between the end
of the Lower Congo and the beginning Of
the Upper Congo intervene hundred miles
of waterfalls and rapids, down which the
drainage of Central Africa plunges foaming
over deelivity of several hundred feet on
its way to the sea. The rocky banks which
hem in the cataracts preclude the hope Of
running railway from the end Of the Low
er Congo to the beginning of the upper river
almost as effectually as the falls prohibit
i navigation. To reach the Upper Congo q
certain tract of. land must be crossed, and
judging from the gradients, the railway that
will connect the lake and river system Of the
Congo with the sea will debouch on terri
tory lying north of the country now recog-
nized as Portuguese. In other words, the
gateway of the continent will not be the
Lower Congo, but the XVIII, a river now
under the control of the International Afri-
can Association. But not only does the
treaty under discussion leave the Upper Con-
go and its chief entrance intact, but 1t pro-
vides that the land end of the Lower Congo
shall be left free from Portuguese jurisdic-
won. The sovereignty of Portugal ceases at

Years will often elapse before doctor gets
any return for the money which his friends
invested in obtaining his diploma. On the
other hand, single fortunate case may
bring patients by the score. About 20 years
ago young doctor who had been estab-
lished three years in London without max
ing an income, lost heart and determined to
emigrate to Australia. He sold his small
house and furniture, paid his passage mon
ey, and week before his ship was to call,
went into the country to say good bye to his
parents. Having to change cars at a juno
ton, he was waiting on the platform when
a groom in smart livery galloped up to the
station, and calling excitedly TO a porter,
handed him a telegraphic message for trans
mission. From some remarks exchanged be-
tween the two men. the young doctor under
stood that the Duke of -, a member of
the Cabinet, had fallen dangerously i'll, and
that an eminent physician in London was
being telegraphed for. The groom added
that he had ridden to the houses of three To-
cal doctors, who had all been absent, and
that "her Grace was in terrible way" Tho
young doctor saw his opportunity, and at
once seized it. 81 am medical man." he
said to the groom, "and will go to the hall
to offer my assistance till another doctor ar
rives." The groom was evidently attached
to his master, for he said: "Jump on my
horse, sir, and ride straight down the road
for about four miles you can't miss the hall;
anyone will tell you where it ISL The doctor
went, was gratefully received by the Ouch
ess, and happened to be just in time to stop
mistake in the treatment of the patient,
which might have proved fatal if continued
for a few hours longer. The Duke was suf-
fering from typhoid fever; and when the en-
nent physician arrived from town he de-
clared that the young doctors management
of the case had been perfect The result Of
this was that the latter was requested to re-
main at the hall to take charge of the pa
tent, aud his name figured on the bulletins
which were issued during the next fortnight
and were printed in all the daily newspapers
of the kingdom. Such an advertisement Is
always the making of a medical man, espec-
tally when his patient RECEIVERS, as the Duke
did. Our penniless hero received a fee OF

THE TILToN MURDER.
Testimony Of the Murdered Man. widow.


CONCORD, N. H., May Elm the Pitts6eld
murder trial this afternoon the first witness
called by the defence was Mrs. Ida j. Tilton,
sister of the prisoner and wife of the murdered
man. She testified she had one child by Til
ton, and a second one was born month after
his decease. The Monday before the shooting
she interfered with her husband, who was
whipping his little son (by his former wife)
with a stick. He knocked her down and
threatened to kill her. On the following
Wednesday her husband became exceedingly
angry and knocked her down twice, kicked
her several times and said he would kill her.
The effect of this treatment was to make three
bruises on her forehead. She afterwards told
him she was going to leave him because of his
abuse Saw her brother the next day and told
him about the trouble, and asked him to OBJ
tain boarding place for her. Harold (the
prisoner) got her trunks the following day, and
she left for her new boarding place. She asked
her brother to see her husband about pro-
yiding for her. Never heard her brother
make any threats against her husband. Did
not know the former had a revolver.
On cross-examination she said she left her
husband once before then, because he kicked
her out of doors, and said he would kill her il
she was at home that night. She went to
Lynn, Mass, and her little girl became sick.
She telegraphed and her husband came for
them. He didn't know she was going to leave
him the day she did, when he left home that
morning. He was a quick-tempered man.
The defence rested its case at this point.
The State recalled Hiram Tuttle of Pitts
field. He saw Mason soon after the shooting
There were no marks about the neck or throat
then. William f. lockwood of Alton Corner
saw revolver with Mason from four to six
weeks before the shooting. Alpheus Young of
Pittsfiald had talk with Mrs. Tilton the win
ter before the shooting, when she said her hus-
band was one of the most tender hearted men
10 the world. Knew Tilton for many years.
He was not of quarrelsome disposition. Geo.
f. Richardson of Pittsfeld had conversation
with Tilton about his family affairs on the af-
ternoon of the shooting. He did not seem at
all excited then. True II. Maxfeld and JAS
E. Griffin of Pittstield had known Tilton sew
eral years. He was not of qusrrelsome dis
position. Levi Aiken of Pittsfeld worked
with Tilton and boarded in the family 2 2
months the winter before the shooting. Never
saw him quarrel, or abuse cattle.
The court at this point adjourned till nine
o'clock tomorrow morning. The evidence in
the case closes tomorrow forenoon.
