A Great Fight Over tho Control of Mex
ico's Finances.
CITY OF MEXICO, june l3.-The London
bank, of this city, has made a flank move
ment again It the National bank of Mexico.
The government, some months ago, granted
the National bank the exclusive right to
issue circulating notes In consideration Of
this privilege the bank has from time to
time loaned the Diaz government large sums.
1t is currently stated In banking circles that
these loans aggregate over $1,000, 600. The
other banks have steadily fought the legality
Of this concession to the National bank, but
they are making no head way.
1t is stated that the government has about
MIXED the National bank dry, and consider
able surprise was manifested here when it
leaked ont that the London bank, Of Mexico
had made a proposition to loan the govern
ment IS, 600, 600 in order to be allowed to re-
tain its large circulation issued prior to the
issue of the exclusive privilege to the Ma
tional bank. 1t is said the government
wants to accept the proposition if it can see
its way clear to 10 so. This offer has pre-
cipitated great fight between the foreign

MURDERS BY INDIANS.


TOMBSTONE, A. r., June 13.--The follow
ing additional particulars have been re-
celved concerning the capture of the supply
camp of Capt. Lawton, of the Fourth cav
airy, in Gaudaioupe canyon, Sonora, and
the massacre of five of his men: Capt. Law
ton, with a troop of cavalry, entered the
conyon and, leaving the wagons III charge
of seven men, started out on scout. While
the guards were eating their dinner they
were surprised by the Indians and four of
them were shot dead. Two of the soldiers
escaped and rejoined their command, but
nothing has been heard of the other guard.
The Indians secured all the provisions and
ammunition IN the train.

SENATORIAL PREROGATlVES.
First Assistant =. NJ. g. Hay Says He
Doesn't Know Senators Have Any.

FirsC Assistant =. M. u. Hay says He
Doesn't Know Senators Have Any.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Hay has broken away
from the custom which has long prevailed in
the department of appointing postmasterS
solely upon the requests of congressman.
fourth class postmaster was recently APP
pointed, but the selection did not suit a
United States senator in whose state the APP
pointment was made, and he wrote to Mr..
Hay complaining of not having efficient
dictation in the matter, asking in conclusion
if the "prerogativesn of senators were to be
interfered with in this way. The first as
sistant postmaster general in replying to
the senator, took occasion to express his
views quite fully on this point. He wrote
that he was unaware of any congressional
"prerogatives" at all which the department
was bound to respect. Correct in
formation, he added, was always
sought and the senator or representative
would of course receive great weight in con-
sideration; but he did not know that they
had any prerogative whatever in the matter.
Mr. Hay added, to forcibly illustrate his
view ON this point, Il am entirely ignorant
Of any law or correct principle which
directs that this department must at all
conform to the dictates of a senator or any
number Of senators in its appointment to
offices. If the fact should come to my
knowledge that the majority of the patr ons
of postoffice should unequivocally express
their desires for the appointment of post
MASTER who was not by political faith
opposed to the administration, and was
thoroughly fitted for the place, l would
appoint him, notwithstanding the recon-
mendation of the state les islature or Of any
possible number of congressman for the
choice of man not thus locally acceptable
and supported.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Commssioner
Sparks, OF the general land office, has sub
mitted to Secretary Lamar a report upon
the noted Maxwell land grant in New Mex
leo, for which he asserts nearly 1000, 00s
acres Of public lands were fraudently
Gained and patented in 1879. The commits
sioner recommends suitable action in the
prosecution of a suit now pending and that
IA new suit be commenced to set aside this
patent. The commissioner says this grant
originally covered about 100000 acres, but
that it was increased by fraudulent survey
ing until it covered about Y, 900, 600 acres.

J. II. Reese the watermelon king of the
valley, says he is completely disguised
with farming Last spring he planted
half his ranch in melons, and although he
kept teams hauling all summer, the vines
kept on growing SO late into the winter,
and the melons are so thick on the ground
and so large that he can't pillow his ground
for next years crop But the worst of it
was that one of the melons rolled into the
canal, completely damming it up, and
flooding 100 acres of wheat for Bill
Hughes, who swears he will sue for dam
ages. The rest of his ground he planted
in sweet potatoes, and few weeks ago
brought some of the smallest into town
and gave them TO the hotel-keepers, who,
after cooking few slices, pronounced
them of very superior quality, but said
they would have to deny their boarders
the luxury, because they couldn't afford to
keep two extra men with cross-cut saws to
saw them up III chunks small enough to
90 into their stoves. He was not discour-
aged at this, however, because he thought
he could realize better prices in the San
Francisco market. But now, after having
4 force of men employed for month, with
crowbars and shoyels, digging up about a
hundred carloads, the draymen refuse to
haul them to the depot. They say they
don't mind lifting any reasonable weight,
| but when it comes to loading up sweet
potatoes that weigh four and five hundred
pounds, they are not in that kind of bust
ness. He will either quit farming or swap
| his Fair Ground ranch for somebody's poor
land, and enrich it to suit himself.

CIVILIZATION DIsGRACED.-The Modoc
Independent thus speaks of the manner in
which Harris, lately killed in Alturas. was
buried
We are reliably informed that the body
of LATE Harris, who died tragic death in
Alturas. was consigned to its last resting
place in manner which was disgrace to
the fair name of our town, and which, to
put it in the mildest possible manner, re-
fleets great discredit on our citizens, and
especially upon those having charge of the
body and who conducted the funeral in
such an understandable manner 1t is said
that the body was not even washed; that
the clothes were not changed, and that the
dirty rags or stockings that covered the
dead mans feet were used to tie his hands
across his breast. No notice was given of
the hour AT which the funeral was to take
place, and when it was accidentally diseov-
cred that the corpse was being loaded into
wagon, K. f. Nichols endeavoTed to find
minister to go to the grave and perform the
usual rites. but before he could succeed the
wagon had rolled up the hill, and the body
hao been dumped into the hole prepared
for it, and LATE Harris was covered with
out a word having been spoken. We under
stand that Harris had means enough
of his own to defray all funeral ex-
penses but even had he been a pauper, he
should have received better burial 1t
grieves us to publish SUCH an occurrence,
but when such statements come from re-
liable citizens, we cannot pass them un-
noticed
