Trouble with Mexican Customs Officers.

SAN Francisco, Cal, July l8-The Pacific
Mail steamer, Colima, arrived to-day from
Panama, reports having serious trouble with the
Mexican authorities at Mazatlan. 1t appears
the Mexican government recently passed a law
ports, must produce for inspection bills of lading
and manifests for the entire cargo, without
gard for its ultimate destination This, the
master of the Colima was not prepared to do on
touching at Mazatlan. An inspection of his boat
was finally accepted as compromise, but the
authorities insisted upon imposing fine of Sl00,
which the captain paid under protest and sailed
July 13, after being detained fourteen hours be-
yond the usual time.

he had done no wrong, and proposed to remain
here. AT the evening session the demonstration

Twenty minutes later the Presidents
carriage, with the four horses fairly
prancing, entered the west end of the
plaza. Prior to it's arrival the people
stood en- masse over the east front.
Policemen on horses rode among
them and with shouts and clubs
cleared passage way. The carriage
began to move through the pas
sage way, preceded by military.
The people cheered at first family, but
as the vehicle proceeded the hurrahs
increased. Hats were lifted and thrown
into the air, handkerchief were waved
above heads by both ladies and GEN
tlemen. Tiny flags held by patriotic
children and elders, were waved. The
band seemed to play with greater vigor
and the drums were beaten with
greater vehemence The flies shrill
sound was more piercing and bugle's
blast louder and louder. The carriage
was driven in front of the east steps
and around to the passage way be-
meath them.
The Tammany Society from New
York was one of the first organizations
on ground. AS a Tammany sachem
attlred IN aboriginal costume, entered
the plaza, he was accosted by "ugh,"
"ugh," and other characteristic ex-
pressions.
Civic and military organizations,
preceded by a single drummer boy or
band of 100 pieces as the case might
be, followed and took the positions
assigned to them. The sun shone brill
lantly on the uniformed troops and
their bayonets cleaned in the sun
shine like sea of FURNISHED steel
At II o'clock the crowd had in
creased to 5000 OFT 900 and crowded
the plaza.
1t had been expected that the dis
tinguished occupants would ascend
the steps and enter the building on the
main floor. When, however, it was
discovered that they would enter
through the basement passage-way,
there was a. rush in that direction.
But In moment the President and
President-elect, the senators who
had accompanied them in their
carriage, and the e-President-elect
and his companion, were within
the building. The doors were closed.
Mr.. Cleveland, on the arm of Senator
Sherman, went to the entrance of the
Senate chamber and proceeded imme-
diately to the presidents room.
President Arthur went to the presi-
dent S room, where his cabinet was as
sembled, and where he engaged himself
IN signing measures which Congress
was rushing through the legislative
halls.
Mr.. Hendricks, In arm with Senator
Hawley, entered the apartment where
Mr.. Cleveland had previously gone.

Prisoners in the East.
From the London Telegraph. I


In civilized warfare the taking of q
honor. When quarter is offered and
accepted the life spared becomes sa-
cred. A mutual contract is established.
The captive promises not to take up
arms again till the end of the war; the
captor for the same length of time to
respect his prisoners personal safety.
The confinement may be rigorous, the
treatment harsh, but the obligations
which the conqueror undertakes are
punctually fulfilled. Instances are on
record of men losing their own lives in
defense of their prisoners. This spirit
of chivalry is common to all valiant
peoples, and in the East it has found
at times most brilliant express
sion. Saracen Emirs held our crusad-
ing knights to ransom, and treated
them during their captivity with such
pompous consideration, such refine
ment of luxury, that the hostage must
have often proved q very costly
guest. With what magnificent pres
ents the prisoners of Indian chiefs
have been dismissed to their homes.
Again and again in Mohammedan his
tory princely generosity toward an
enemy taken in battle has won unWill-
ing clans over to the green banner
and healed the sears of hereditary
feuds. But these are the exception to
the rule. For Oriental warfare is still
savage in spirit, and Eastern soldiery
are ruthless. When Roberts guns
burst upon the camp by Candahar,
and Ayoob Khan turned to fly through
the rice-fields along the Arghandab,
his men still found time to murder
their prisoners. When Osman Digma's
onslaught smashed up the square at
Tamanieb the Arabs paid no atten-
ton to the Egyptians arms thrown
down in token of submission, but
massacred the PROSTATE to the last
man. One after another garrlsons
have fallen into the mahdi's hands,
and the news has come of dreadful and
indiscriminate slaughter. 'No prls-
oners' seems to be the dreadful order
OF the false prophets camp. We have
heard, it is true, of native sisters OF
charity whose lives were spared, and
also OF some native priests, the cap
tives in each case being credited with
the presence of mind to beg for life IN
order that they might live to see the
mahdi's millennium. Rumor also
states that one, if not two. Europeans
are living in the prophets camp, the
one acting as doctor, the other as an
interpreter. Death, however, has beer
the i1nmediatefate of all but these few,
whom accident rather than design may
be supposed to have saved.

A Hard Life.
Iron London Truth


At the Hartford assizes q man
named Kemp was convicted OF stealing
gun. In passing sentence OF six
weeks hard labor, Lord Coleridge re-
marked that the prisoner had already
suffered two years hard labor and
fourteen years penal servitude for
offenses the worst of which was steal
ing fowl and some apples; and that
he would not be responsible for such
sentences. 1t was scarcely necessary
for the lord chief justice to add that
none of her majesty's judges had
passed these monstrous sentences, but
that they had been inflicted by various
magistrates. If chairmen of quarter
sessions and their colleagues will per-
sist in awarding penal servitude in
this cruel and outrageous fashion, the
sooner they are improved off the face
of the bench the better.

Under an order from the Postmaster
General service on the mail route be-
tween this place and the Hot Springs
will be discontinued and a petition is
being circulated here for its re-establish-
ment, but is not being very numerously
signed.
What Custer wants and what the in.
terest of over 1000 people demand is a
daily mail service direct to Chadron and
Deadwood, either a seperate service to
Chadron or a connection at Buffalo Gap
or Hot Springs with the stage line that
has the present daily service from that
point. If the Times is correct the
Northwestern Stage company has the
present mail contract from Chadron to
Deadwood, via Rapid. We also under
stand that this company will run direct
to the Gap and leave Hot Springs to the
west, and this being the case a petition
should be circulated asking for a daily
connection at that point.
There are, as stated over 1000 people
who receive their mail at this point, al
of the cattle outfits for 30 miles west and
northwest get their mail at this city
and we have no doubt but that if the
matter was placed before the depart
ment in its proper light we would be
immediately supplied with the service
While We do not suppose either the
Northwestern or Wyoming stage com
pany can be prevailed upon to rur
through to Deadwood via Custer, still
We are certain that it would be a profit
able change for one or the other. Il
would cut of 80 miles of a drive and bs
the popular passenger route, running as
it would, not only through the mos,
picturesque portions Of the Hills, bu,
through the centre of THE mineral belt.
