MEXICAN DEBTS.
stasus Of some Of b Banks and Rail-
roads in That Country.

CRY OF MEcrco (via Galveston), June IS.
was q protracted meeting last night
Of the Directors OF the National Bank af
Mexico, at which Senior Dublan, Minister
OF Finance, wal present and Intercepted
as to whether any arrangements could be
made with the Government whereby the
bank might be exempted rom the opera
ton of the law decreed on Monday last.
The Minister OF Finance replied that moth
ing could be done, as the law had been de-
cided by a full Cabinet, presided over by the
President of the republic. The National
Bank is badly embarrassed, and it is pre-
dicted that it cannot survive this shock.
The London Bank is quite unaffected by
law. THERE'S talk that the National Bank,
the Central Railroad and the National
Railroad will join in
COMMON PROTEST
to the Government, but not until their at
torneys meet can it be decided upon what
conditions this can be accomplished. The
National Banks capital is largely held in
France, where it is backed by the rance
Egyptian Bank, and to-day rumO have
been current that the French Government
might make Il diplomatic protest in behalf
of the bank. The question has also been
raised regarding the attitude OF the United
States Government should the American
railroads be seriously embarrassed Min
lister jackson is in Toluca, where his wife is
ill, and could not be interviewed by inter-
ested Americans. The large German mer-
camille houses here have bought up the Gus
tom House certificates at a discount, and
the point has been raised in German circles
that the home Government is likely to
make diplomatic inquiry why these certif-
Gates have been discredited.
OUR GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE.
Regarding the question of the possible in
reference by the United States Goveln-
ment, it is said in legal circles here that the
American railroads are Mexican corpora
tions, under the terms Of their respective
concessions, and cannot appeal to Wash

in a few days, publish a new scheme for the
adjustment OF the English debt, and it is

HOW THEY DO IT.
The Centerville Men Have a Sensible
Way of Settling Troubles.

Centerville is the boss place for shooting
matches. Ii a couple OF men get into an
alteration on any subject, it is invariably
settled by the parties making
a shooting match, the one making the
highest number OF points being declared the
person whose argument was correct. Yes
terday John Morgan and Tom Stevens were
arguing in Henry Moorish's hotel on the
question of polygamy, and the discussion
was about to end up in a general row,
when Moorish suggested that the debaters
repair to the target range and hold a rifle
contest, the one making the highest number
of points to be declared correct in his views
on the question OF a plurality OF wives, and
as a special i~nducement, Tom Trevail
promised the winner a key OF beer. The re-
suit showed hat Morgan made in seven
shots. twenty-nine points, while Stephens
had only twenty-eight. Morgan was there
fore declared the winner. The party re-
paired to the hotel to drink the beer when
they found that during their absence, Uncle
Jim Tremellin had packed off the beer and
with a party OF friends had drank every
drop OF it..

Ministries Next Week.

Barlow & Wilson's famous minstrels are
now playing a very successful. engagement
at Helena. They have crowded houses
nightly, and press and people pronounce
it the finest minstrel company that ever
visited Montana. The troupe will open in
Butte on Monday next, at Rnnshaw's
Opera House. Speaking OF this company
the Cleveland Leader says: '"This popular
minstrel company opened a three-nights'
engagement in the opera house last evening
with a sample of the audiences it has drawn
ever since it began it's seventh annual tour.
The large theater was entirely filled above
and below. The performance was very
much enjoyed, as there was not a mediocre
act in it, and new songs and sketches have
been provided throughout. Every song in
the first part al encored, and the skating
carnival, which formed the climax, was re-
ceived with shouts Of laughter.

The Grain Crop Outlook.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 25.-Special crop
reports from Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois. Kan
sas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, to
the american Rural Home of this city,
gathered by correspondent in every county,
show that the very best wheat producing
areas do not promise more than bread and
seed. In winter wheat the first twenty-one
days OF June were exceedingly trying, and
areas that were thought good for half IL
crop are now turning out largely cheats.
All estimates of the spring wheat yield, at
present, are idle conjectures. The most
Conservative estimates point to 10 per
cent. decrease as compared with 1854.
Corn is doing fairly; in no STATE, however,
are the prospects above the average. West
of the Missouri the whole season has been
wet; east of the Missouri cold and dry.
The oat crop is much larger than that OF
1884, because a large amounts of wheat
lands were put into oats. On the whole,
the eeasOn is an average one.
