westerly about half n mile, then extends

The ..Tribune" and '.VVOrld" on the
Failure of the Mexican Treaty.
New YORK, Jan. l9.-The Tribune
says, on the failure of the Mexican
treaty, that the objection to it has come
chiefly from the sugar, tobacco and
hemp growers, who believe their inter
ests would be severely damaged by let
ting in these articles free. The vote as
finally taken may be considered as rep
resenting the views of the friends of pro-
lection.
The World says severe blow was
dealt to the Southwestern railroad sys-
tenn and its attendant speculative enter
prises, by the failure of the treaty. A
number of spectators had made condi-
tional purchases of rich l,nds in North
ern Mexico, suitable for raising sugar
and tobacco, hoping that their value
would be increased from one to twenty
dollars an acre by the ratification of the
treaty. They had so carefully worked
up their schemes that the treaty lacked
only one vote of ratification.

the pleading OF Rose for mercy, so the
vigilantes closed theirs to the cries of
the prisoners. They were taken out
