OLD MEXICO.
An American Enterprise a Sue
cess In Monterey.

Now that the Monterey and Santa
Catarina street railway is completed
with over six miles of flrst-class track
running from the Mexican National de-
pot to the Main plaza In the centre OF
the city, distance OF two and quarter
OF miles, thence circling the principal
part Of the city for distance Of four
miles, passing within three blocks Of
the Tivila gardens, favorite pleasure
resort and invald's paradise; thence by
the ancient historic Bishops Palace
mountain. an interesting point over
looking the entire city and many sur
rounding valleys, visited by all strang-
ers; thence by numerous attractive gar
dens and favorite bathing places. visited
daily by the population OF the city,
operated by 10 elegant, commodious
passenger and three freight cars, pulled
by 90 head Of lively mules, the
whole pronounced by visiting
Americans as the best built and
equipped street railway they ever
saw, 1t might be well to contemplate
Monterey and its future, and enumerate
the special inducements offered for the
investment of additional American cap
ital.
Monterey, the capital of Nueva Leon,
Is situated at the head Of the Monterey
valley, on the main line of the Mexican
National railway, and at the Junction OF
the Matamoro3 branch of the same line.
1t has an industrious population of 40
600. and is one Of the most important
business centers of Northern Mexico.
The first and best enterprise Offering
good and quick returns on small In
vestmsnt. say from three to ten thous-
and dollars, Is to buy or rent one of the
numerous gardens along the line Of
street railway and open pleasure re-
sort and beer garden. Introducing
roller skates, velocipedes, shooting
galleries, hotel or restaurant, and
any games of innocent amusement.
Such an enterprise would prove per-
feet bonanza for the parties inaugural
ing 1t. Convincing evidence, 1000 peo-
pile without amusements of any oharac-
ter; no way to spend their money. This
is the best point on the continent for q
first class hotel enterprise, costing from
100000 to 100000. A delightful eli
mate for invalids, the entire year, roman
tic scenery, and the best hot springs in
the world adjoining the city.
The city needs gas works, electric
light and waterworks, and desirable
concessions might be obtained from the
city and State governments, by parties
interested In such enterprises.
An immense cotton mill for the manu-
facture of oalicos, and n paper mill, to
cost some 100000, is now under con-
struction.
While Monterey, like many of our
American cities, has been very
dull, for the past year, its situ-
alton and surroundings Is bound
to make it city of no small importance,
and now is the time for Americans with
surplus capital to investigate its advan-
tages. AS future important mining
centre 1t has many advantages, and If
were to enumerate them people would

IN THE "Some Men About Town"
column Of the New York Tribune,
writer says: 81 heard these two offers
made by Republican in the way Of bets,
both to be taken together, without any
Democrat appearing eager to take them
up. One person thought the offer "a
cute trick another said 1t was "A clever
catch;' but in view of the claims of DEM
ooratlo newspapers l thought the offer
not merely fair but bold on the Republic
cans part. The two offers were Of 500
to $500 that Blaine carries New York
State by the largest plurality ever given
Presidential candidate except Grant,
and 500 to $500 that Cleveland has the
smallest plurality ever given a Presi-
dental candidate in New York county.
plurality of over 32,7i2, Tilden's major
ity in the State, and Cleveland less than
Greeley's majority in the county, which
was 23,147. hear of numbers of small
bets at various odds in favor of the Re-
publloans offering the wagers, that Blaine
will carry Kings county.
There never was finer illustration of
the proverbial imbecility of the Demo-
cratic managers said an old Democrat
to me yesterday, than their sudden in
PRODUCTION of the tariff question into
this canvass. 1t was question that
troubled their convention and came near
disrupting 1t. 1t was the chief Of the
troubles which eliminated in the Butler
movement. They didn't dare to put n
positive plank in their platform for or
against tariff. Yet here is that absurd
old Hendricks, just after his foolish let
ter seriously considering the advisable
ity of Cleveland's withdrawal, declaim-
ing against the accumulation Of $780,
100000 surplus in the Treasury as the
result of the Republican tariff, and
preaching in favor Of reduction of the
tariff which produces such revenue
from foreign sources. That issue is the
very one that elected Garfield; II Is one
the Republicans are only too anxious to
bring to bear on the workingmen; and
this absurd old candidate gives them
the opportunity. OF course they will
take the advantage of it and show that
the tariff is the one thing which keeps
the worklngmen's wages at double the
rates paid in free trade countries, ant
at the same time raises revenue sufil
Client to pay Government expenses ant
leave surplus to pay war debts. Oul
leaders are an Internal set of fools
that's what they are."'

FRANCES CONSTITUTION.
The Assembly Adopting the Clauses in
the Bill of Revision.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE Congress of the
two houses of Parliament at Versailles
resumed its labor on the revision of the
constitution to-day. The first article of
the scheme of revision under considera-
tion was adopted by vote of 523 to 139.
The Congress adopted by vote of 6O2
to 100, paragraph l., article of the re-
vision bill decreeing a republican form Of
government to be immutable. Paragraph
2, declaring mOnarchial pretenders to be
eligible 10 the Presidency, was adopted by
a vote of 597 to 1853.
Before the Versailles Congress adopted
the article decreeing the republican form
OF government to be immutable Prime
Minister Ferry said: 'We do not de-
mand decree of the eternity of republi-
canism, but, for the dignity and security
of France, a decree that the republican
regime is immutable."
NJ. FreFpel opposed the article, declar-
ing that it was UNLIKELY to prevent a
change in favor of the Comte de Paris.
A commotion among the Left immedi-
ately occurred, M. FlOquet exclaiming,
'YOu have pronounced condemnation
upon the Comte de Paris; we will execute
it,"
M. Freppel resumed his speech, and
said he hoped that the new Congress
which assembled March 4, 1889, would
replace the monarchy.
On motion being made to adjourn to
allow discussion of the Chinese question
in the Chamber of Deputies, NJ. Ferry
announced that the present Congress
would probably terminate on Thursday,
and that the Chinese question would then
be Immediately taken up by the Chamber.
The motion was rejected.
The whole of the second clause of the
revision bill was adopted by vote of
592 to 14S.

The Wooden Witten of the Past TO be
Discarded for Elbow GauntIets.
Heretofore those soldiers in the United
States army who were so unfortunate as
to be stationed along the picturesque
sources of the Missouri, the land Of bliz-
yards, have been provided with fur caps,
coats and boots, and their hands have
been protected by thick wooden mittens.
These mittens served we'll enough to keep
their fingers from freezing, but whenever
anyone felt suddenly called upon to shoot
something, he had to wait till he had
pulled them off, and by that time it often
happened that there was nothing left to
shoot at. Then, too, the woOlen mittens
seemed to detract from the martial ap-
pearance of the otherwise fur-clad de-
tenders of the frontier. So it has been
decided to change the regulation hand
dress.
I'VE shall give them muskrat fur
gauntlets this year." said Deputy Quar-
termaster General Hodges yesterday.
''The department is ready to receive bids
for 5000 pairs for an experiment. Musk
rat fur is wanted because it is thick,
warm and cheap. 1t is not expected that
the gloves will cost much more than the
mittens. They are to be regular gaunt-
let's, entirely Of fur, and will reach nearly
TO the elbow. They will be much more
convenient. A man will be able to load
and fire his musket without taking them
off and holding them in his teeth"
''DO the soldiers pay for theseW
eyes. Their allowance is sufficient,
however, to provide all the clothes they
want. Our armyis the best dressed Of
any in the world. The private can have
about $50 year for his clothes. If he
gets along with less, what remains is
credited to him, and at the end of five
years he can draw what he has saved"

A WORD ABOUT SroRPHY.

"Reminiscences Ofthe Great Chess Player.
Mr.. Moncure D. Conway has given the
Pail Nall Gazette the following reminis-
cences fthe famous chess-player, Nor
ply: So Paul Morphy is dead! Twenty
five years ago what a sensation would
have been caused by such an announce
ment. It was when the chess clubs Ofthe
world were talking over his wonderful
blindfold games that L met him and played
half a dozen games with him at the Bre-
WORT House, New York. / had almost
attained the proud rank for youth oil a
secOnd-rank player in the clubs, but asked
for a TOOk as odds. Out OF the SIX l won
but one game. and have virtually given up
chess ever since. Where was the use OF
toIling on when, after years Of struggle,
here was a man who could give me
rOOk and beat me with ease? l can see
now the small, beardless young man
very much like Edgar POe-and the white
hand, yeined like that of a lady, softly
moving piece after piece, with little hesi-
tatiOn, as if he had long fOreknOwn my
move and had patiently awaited it. No
surprise was possible to those quiet eyes.
The face Of MOrphy was pathetic; one
could read in it that he felt ashamed of
his interest in this game, as MOntaigne

INSIDE OF THE ELEPHANT.
Sights which Visitors See after Climbing

Sights which Visitors See after Climbing
Up through his Hind Legs.
Although its eyes are not open yet, says
the New York San, the big blue elephant
at West Brighton, COney Island, received
several hundred visitors yesterday. The
visitors paid IS cents each to climb up
through the elephants hind legs and OBJ
serve a silk loom which made handker-
chiefs in his stomach. Besides the loom
there is double-deck promenade in this
part of him. By steep staircases reared
against the elephants ribs the visitors
climbed into the observatory at his back.
The inside Of the elephant is three sto-
ries high, and is going to be filled with
bazaar stands. The trunk goes down
into what is going to be a big dairy stand.
Alongside the elephants left foreleg yes
terday lay an irregularly shaped shell that
was about as big as the side of house.
1t was one of the elephants tin ears.
Fifty people could stand on it at once.
When the elephants eyes are opened peo-
ple'will be able to see through them all
over the island and away out to sea with
the aid of telescopes. Children can look
out for five cents less than their fathers
and mothers.
A big brass band played under the ele-
phant yesterday, and contemplated the
star-shaped heap Of dirt that IS going to
be flower garden next week. Around
the elephant will be restaurants, sa-
looms, rifle galleries, and other familiar
channels through which visitors can
spend their surplus money with ease and
comparative satisfaction. Electric lights
will aid them to see things at night.

Ex-senator Mcdonald Expecting a Close
Struggle, but Certain of Success.
Ex Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, was
at Washington Friday on private busi-
ness. He speaks freely, says a Washing
ton special, of the outlook in his State.
"The campaign has not yet opened" he
said, "but active preparations are being
made, and it will be one of the most close
ly contested struggles we have ever had.
Cleveland will carry the State, but we
shall have to fight for it. The Democrats
throughout the state are in good trim and
equal to the emergency"
"DO you look for Cleveland's election 2"
he was asked,
Il do. l believe he will surely carry
the country, but as in Indiana it is else
where-there will be a great struggle"
''What effect will Buffers action
have?"
1t will not affect the national ticket,
think. He Will he felt in certain locali-
ties only. The fight throughout will lie
between Blaine and Cleveland, and
neither will be affected by Buffers pres
ence in the field. In Indiana the Green
back vote will be a lOssI from the Repub-
licans, if from either party"
''It is feared by some," was suggested,
''that Butler Will draw a big vote from
Cleveland in New York?''
Il think not. l think he will not draw
a large vote at all. The fight, as l have
said, viii be between Cleveland and
Blaine. and Cleveland will be elected"
"Will you take the stump, SenatOrp
'Oh, yes. l shall take the part Of a

AMONG THE COWBOYS.
Mr. Roosevelt's Estimate of Their Char
acter-A Brave, HOspitable, Misunder-
stood Class

stood Glass.
Theodore Roosevelt was found at his
home in Madison avenue on Saturday by
a New York Tribune reporter, but was
disinclined to talk about the political situa-
ton. He said: 81 am perfectly willing
to tell you what know about life IN the
West. l have just returned from my
cattle ranch in extreme western Dakota,
and shall start back again next Monday,
taking with me two Maine men, who
were my companions in several shooting
trips on snow-shoes in the North woods.
like the West, and l like ranching life.
On my last trip l was just three weeks on
my ranch, and just twenty-one days, of
sixteen hours each, in the saddle, either
after cattle-taking part in the 'round-up,'
or hunting. never kill for the mere
sport, but make some use of the game.
The last buffalo l shot was an old bull. L
have been collecting a lot of heads with
which to decorate the hall of my country
home. have precious little sympathy
with Anglomania, and have always
admired thoroughly American sport like
hunting OF the large game of the West,
with Winchester or Sharp's rifle, on the
back of one of the tough cayuses or
bronchos. 1t would electrify some of my
friends who have accused me of represent
ing the kid-glOYed element in politics if
they could see me galloping over the
plains, day in and day out, clad in a
buckskin suit and leather chaparajos,
with big sombrerO on my head. For
good healthy exercise | would strongly
recommend some of our gilded youth to go
West and try a short course of riding
'bucking' ponies and assist at the brand
ing of a lot of Texas steers.
''The cowboys are much misrepre-
sented class of people. 1t is popular
impression that when one goes among
them he must be prepared to shoot. But
this is false idea. have taken part
with them in the 'rounding-up,' have
eaten, slept, hunted, and herded cattle
with them, and have never had any diff
Guilty. If you choose to enter rum shops
or go on drinking sprees with them it is as
easy to get into ticulty out there as it
would be in New York, or anywhere else.
But if a man minds his own business, and
at the same time shows that he is fully
prepared to assert his own rights-if he is
neither bully nor a coward and keeps
out OF places in which he has no business
to be, he will get along as wellsa in Fifth
avenue. 1 have found them a most brave
and hospitable set of men. There is no
use In trying to be overbearing with them,
for they won't stand the least assumption
of superiority, yet there are many places
in our cities where l should feel less safe
than L would among the widest cowboys
of the West"
