THE COBDEN CLUB BANQUET.
Lord CarIingford on America and Free
Trade-The English Mexican Treaty
Soon to be Concluded.

soon 20 be Concluded
LONDON, June 2S.-Lord Carlingford
presided at the Golden Club banquet this
evening. He made speech in which he
said America realized the benefits to be
derived from free trade. Her power and
influence would increase enormously. He
hoped the cattle disease act, while eX-
eluding diseased cattle, would not inter-
fere with the importation of healthy cat
tie. He believed that before the next
meeting OF the club a commercial treaty
between England and Mexico would have
been concluded. Such a treaty, he
thought, would result in largely increased
dealings with Mexico. He thought Cob
den would have approved of EBgIand's
policy of concord with France and of
multiple control in Egypt. He referred
to the time when England's occupation
of Egypt and her responsibility there
would cease, and said he hoped that
Egypt and the SaeZ canal would become
neutral grounds and be protected by all
the powers. He instanced as the result
of the arbitration among nations the set
tlement of the Alabama claims, which
prevented war between two great and
friendly nations.
DR.. Smith, of Sioux City, Iowa, replied
on behalf of the toast, ''Our Foreign and
Colonial Guests" He said he was plain
man not given to making speeches. All
he would say was that revenue reform
was making great progress in America,
and the Golden Club would probably hear
news of that progress within the next six
months.

FOUND DEAD.
Elmont W. Parker's Body Discov by Mexican-Strong Sus licions of
 Foul Hay.

On the I2th of last May, the re. mains of Elmont w. Parker, aged about thirty years, were found lying on the ground, and from its discolor- ation. it was supposed the deceased came to his death at least two days previous. He had upon his person one of Colts double action revolvers, but none of its chambers were dis charged. but his cartridge belt was considerably burned. as also were his clothes about the waist, and he had been bleeding from the mouth, It was first reported be had been killed by lightning, but further lnvestisa- ,ion, since the burial, leads his friends to believe he met with foul play. The body was found by a Mexican herder, near Jaycox Tanks, about thirty five miles southeast of Flagstaff. On the 10th, two days previous to the finding of the body, two of Daggs Bros, X Clark's herders were approaching d habitation near Ducks Nest, which was occupied by Parker occasionally, and as they came nearer saw two men, heavily armed, looking lntently toward the men approaching, but finally left before the herders came up to the house. Around the house, the men who had escaped. one d foreman for Lot Smith and the other herder for Smith also, had piled kindling wood, which was all ready to light, but they were hurried of too soon. The men remained at the house to eat their lunch, feed and water their horses, when they went or to Parker's house, and informed him of what they had seen. Parker had located on a range which had been contended for by the Mormons living in that section for a long time, and there had been considerable trouble. It IS sup. posed by the herders that Parker, af' ter being informed of the attempt to set fire to the building, went out to investigate the matter, and being talk en unawares, was killed. Such IS the supposition, and we call upon the coroner of Yavapai county for an in- vestigation of the affair, as the men in the vicinity are strongly of the opinion that the lightning story is all bosh. The deceased was son of Geo. w. Parker, of Lowell, Mass, and nephew of John Clark, oi Flag staff.
