WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE report of
Special Agent Evans, the treasury de-
partment, on the operations of trade
between the United States and Mexico,
as the result OF his investigations, under
instructions from the department, has
been received by Secretary McCullOch.
II sets forth that Mexican customs reg
uations arc difficult OF comprehension
aud unnecessarily Onerous, no less
i ba6y ,coure%d "por to he or pres SSPei
on direct importation and consular in
voice costing $ll 80, this amount being
required when tho value of the goods
exceeds $40. Irregularities in pa
pers, from whatever cause, render the
Importer liable to charge of double
and ia some cases treble the duty, and
petty fines imposed for the omission OF
minor words and mis- spelling. Every
thing seems to DO done by custom oiii-
GERS o rctard business. Trains carry
ing goods being delayed and permits
and stamps being required at almost
every stage OF importation, while the
number of examinations required after
the goods have passed the frontier and
paid the duty are extremely annoying,
of the delay. On the ques-
ton OF reciprocity, Mr.. Evans says: 1t
is urged that congress would relieve
this country from the gloom and suffer-
ing caused by the business depression
by adopting reciprocity relations with
Mexico aud thus open new channel
for the sale of American products. Dis
appointment, in my judgment, awaits
such expectations. ORES articles to be
free from Mexico, under the
treaty, II are now free under the Grant
tariff laws of 1873. The articles to be in
nIi inf N uFit I'm Il
are now free except a charge for pack

The Congo Conference.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The house

of @ to 4, adopted Mr.. Phelps resolu ton
relative to the Congo conference.
In presenting the resolution 10 the
house the majority say: "While not
unmindful OF the conspicuous part

has taken in the development of Africa.
your committee IL of opinion that
IL such action IL ncquiasced in, without

come the beginning of u new departure

the purpose OF the conference
aud the conclusions IL has
reached. Your committee has
given serious consideration 10 the sub
ject with due regard to the gravity of
the new departure from the history and
tradition OF our government, and 10 the
uniform absence of any represen-
tative of our government in the DELHI
e"ations on European conflicts and
Interests, and especially all conferences
OF European nations which might lead
To disturbances in foreign nations and

which the government has no interest,
Your committee, in the light of
all the knowledge in its pos
session, can only express the opinion
that they can find no sufficient reason
for the participation of the government
Of the United States in the Congo con-
ference and for departure from the es-
tahlished political doctrines and
policy of the government from it's
formation and there cOnfine themselves
to declaring that they cannot approve

Cox and Stuart, and says while con-
curing in the report of the committee
we don't consider that our
opinions are fully carried
in the resolution accompanying
the report Representative Belmont
also submits a report in which he in
vites the attention of the house TO the
warnings OF Jefferson against political
connections or "entanging alliances"
with foreign nations; to the "Mon-
roe doctrine" and the application
of it by Secretary of State John Quincy
Adams; TO the congress of Panama, and
to the refusal of President
Pierce and Secretary Marcy to enter
the Copenhagen conference relative to
the American shipping. The report
considers Mt length the suggestion of
Secretary Frelinghuyseu that the assem-
blage at Berlin was conference
and not congress. He says
the problem presented to the con
ference was really ga European broil,"
growing out of "the scrambling in At
RIGA by the colonizing powers" aud
comments on the position and the pol
icy of the United States in respect to
where on that continent.

An Extra Session Mooted.

WAsHINaToN, Feb. 2S.-The POSSIBLE
ity of an extra session of congress is
again the subject OF comment among
congressman. The senate committee
on appropriations has before 1t
as much for the next three
and II half days, Including
Sunday, as it would undertake to per-
form in as many weeks, If the session
were a long one. Members OF the COM
mittee express the hope that they will be
able to present the remaining bills to the
senate in time for action, but to do so
will require them to work night
and day. Two bills, the general de-
ficiency and the sundry civil, are meas
ures OF infinite detail and their
careful scrutiny at best by the sub
committee is held to be an imperative
duty. Committee meetings will be in
progress all day tomorrow and every
night, perhaps all night, until the iina
adiOurnment.

Kentucky Criminal Proceedings.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.-The Times
Star Grayson, Kentucky, special says;
AT IL o'clock to-day difficulty took
place in which Wesley Newman was
killed and Charles Baker MORALLY
wounded by Jesse Samuel and Richard
Kizzer. In the absense of the sheriff,
Jailer Lyree and posse of mon started
in pursuit of Kizzer. The quarrel arose
out of an old grudge.
The Times-Star Lexington, Kentucky,
special says it is reported that two men
were killed at the Eastern Kentucky
juction in fight with mob looking
for Neal, who is now at Mount Sterling
in jail
The Daily Press Nichoiasville special
says: A. M, Bowling, who killed John
Gill in Mount Sterling recently, was
brought to the Lexington Jail this after
noon for safe keeping. 1t was feared
he would either be lynched by mob or
rescued by friends.
The respite of William Neal, the last
of the Ashland murderers, has created
indignation throughout eastern Ken
lucky. People continued to pour into
Grayson all the forenoon, not having
previously heard the news of the res
pite. 1t was estimated that there were
5000 people present. There was but one
sentiment and that was condemnation
of Gov. Knott for granting the respite.

Tragedy in Coryell County.

GATEsvILLE, Feb. 27.-[Special The
Advance issued an extra this evening,
as follows: "To-day another of
those blood-curdling tragedies which
have so often disgrsced our country
occurred at the, quiet little
village of Jonesboro. 1t seems
that there had been some
misunderstanding between Joel Bran
don aud Willis Oden; the latter is a
deputy sheriff. On Thursday the mat
ter was arbitrated, but it seems that il
was unsatisfactory to Brandon. Yes
terday morning Brandon took few
drinks, and meeting Oden, said he
(Brandon) had pistol and that no
officer could take it. Thereupon Oden
al rested him and searched him, finding
however, that Brandon had no pistol.
IL seems then that both went away. A
short time afterwards they again met,
about so yards from the main street, to-
ward the Lawrence hotel, and the shoot
ing occurred. Oden shot Brandon three
times, killing him instantly and then
fled, Our informant did not
know whether Brandon was armed
or not. Soon after Brandon
was killed, his wife arrived. Mean
while the saloon keeper had also arrived.
On seeing the dead body of her hus-
band, she exclaimed: Whisky did itn
and appealing to the whisky vender,
was answered in the affirmative.
Sheriff Lanham and posse are out af-
ter Oden.
