KIDNAPPED BY MEXICO.
An American Citizen Taken From Texas
by Mexican Authorities and Shot,

An American Citizen Taken From Texas
by Mexican Authorities and Shot.
GALVESTON, TEX, July 2S.-On Monday
last Senor Mondragoa, chief of police Of
Pedras Negras, Mexico, made demand
upon the authorities at Eagle Pass, Texas,
for the body of Francis Rasures, whom he
charged with being horse thief Last
night Deputy Sheriff B. Diaz arrested Ra-
sures and took him before County Judge
Hoffsetter, who signed extradition papers
without giving the accused hearing, and
the deputy sheriff delivered him to the
Mexican authorities. Rasures is natural
lied citizen, and he has appealed
to the United States consul for pro.
lection. Consul Lynn has demanded the
release OF the prisoner and his return to
Eagle Pass for trial for the offense
charged. Mondragoa replies that the case
has been transferred to higher court at
Saltillo, and that he would do nothing in
the matter. This is a'clear case of kidnap-
ping, and the facts have been reported to
the state department at Washington and to
Governor Ireland of Texas. News has
been received here tonight that Rasures
was taken ten miles below Pedras Negras
to-day and shot by order of the Mexican
authorities.

"I,LL SWIM ACROSS"

The Romantic Manner in Which Miss
Minclxle Was Made Mrs. Jim Stout.
ROCKINGHAM, Court House, N. c., July
27.-The high water throughout North
Carolina develops romantic marriage in
Rockingham county yesterday. James
Madison Stout and Miss Polly Minckle, one
of the most beautiful young ladies in the
county, started together yesterday to get
married. They were accompanied by a
small wedding party. When they reached
Jones Creek they found that the water was
up and they could not cross. They were
going to the parsons on the other side to be
married, "pll swimIacross," said Tony
Brush, the groom's best man, land bring
the preacher to the other bank and he can
marry you from there." He soon had
Preacher Hazlett on the opposite shore. He
gave him Jim's license and told him to
proceed, which he did and soon Miss Polly
Minckle was Mrs. James Stout.

HOUSE..
CONCERNING LAND FRAI1DS

CONCERNING LAND FRAUDS.
Mr. Holman, from the conference COM
mittee on the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial bill,oreported continued disagree
ment. Mr.. Holman said that substantial
agreement had been reached on the clause
increasing the appropriation for internal
revenue employees and making an appro-
priation for collecting statistics in regard
to marriage and divorce. They narrowed
the disagreement down to the one item of
senator's clerks, and upon this the senate
was firm. He moved that the house re-
cede from it's disagreement to the amend
ment.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill. The
amendments were considered without dis
cussion and recommendations Of common
appropriations were agreed to, until the
clause relating to silver certificates was
reached. Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, offered
all amendment providing that certificates
shall be issued on all standard silver dollars
in the treasury and paid out on expendi-
lures and obligations Of the government,
and when received in the treasury shall be
reissued. Rejected-81 to Sand the
clause was agreed to in the shape as recon-
mended. The next Question upon which a
hitch occurred was the senate amendment
reducing from 100000 to $750,OOO the ap-
preparation for the protection of public
lands against fraudulent entries. The
committee on appropriations recommended
concurrence on the amendment. but Mr.
Holman moved nonconcurrence and made
speech in which he stated the necessity
of protecting the peoples land against
fraudulent entries.
Mr.. Townshend, Of Illinois, and Mr.
Cobb, Of Indiana, took the same ground
and the latter reiterated that go per cent. of
the entries i'll the northwest were fraudu-
lent. This aroused the Indignation of the
representatives of that section, and Messrs
Ryan and Perkins, of Kansas, Dorsey, of
Nebraska, and Nelson, of Minnesota, Wig
orously denied the correctness Of the as
sertion. Mr.. Nelson declared that Mr.
Cobb and the men from whom he got his
information unintentionally siandered the
people of the west. He then paid his re-
spects to the special agents of the land Of
fee, characterizing them as very cheap
lot of men, who never interfered with big
men who could pay them tribute, but spied
into the affairs of the honest farmer who
entered half or quarter section. The OBJ
ject of the large appropriation was that the
democratic party might pay its political
debts and give office to a lot of bummers
The motion to nonconcur was lost-56 to
111-and the amendment was concurred in.
Other amendments were concurred in or
nonconcurred in, according to the recon-
mendation of the committee on appropria-
tions, and the committee Of the whole rose
and reported the bill and amendments to
the house.
Mr.. Bland, Of Missouri, demanded a sep
arate vote upon the concurring in the SEN

ers employed in Browns factory struck for

etor refuses to grant, claiming he is now

MISCELLANEOUS,
THE INDIAN COMMISSION.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
A commission consisting of Hon. John
w. Wright. of Tennessee, Bishop H. B.
Whipple, Of Minnesota, and Charles F.
Larrabee, of the Indian Office, has been ap-
pointed by the secretary Of the interior,
under provision contained in the Indian
appropriation act approved May Is, 1886, to
negotiate with certain tribes and bands of
Indians in the state of Minnesota and
northern Montana, Dakota, Washington
and Idaho territories, for the reduction of
ment of other land matters. At Fort
Berthold, the reservation in Dakota, the
commission will arrange for the purchase

eryation. It is learned that these Indians

60 to northern Montana to negotiate with
the Blackfeet, Piegans, Gros Ventres, AS
sinaboines and River Crows for the pur-
chase of portion of their reservation,

views of the Indian Office in excess of their
needs.

NIsW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH %, 1850

Doubtless this includes some silver certlhcateS'
There should have been no surprise that INC
banks were compelled TO contract loans llttle
after the great expansion OF the past nino
months, but it may be remembered that re-
serves usually fall ut this time in the year, only
to rise again rapidly if the state OF business Is
fairly prosperous, after the LIST OF April pay
ments ha re been made.
The contraction and the increasing impor-
tancc of labor disturbances caused a further de-
cline in stocks, which averaged nearly 81 p6r
share. the average Of sixty active stocks being
SOS 36 at the close. The decline has now con
tinued full month Great strength was shown
by some stocks, particularly by Western Union
and Lackawanna, the latter because OF the
agreement to advance coal % cents per ton
But the actual advance seems TO have been only
20 cents, and the question rs to settlement OF
Reading is rendered more doubtful than ever
by the organization of bOndhOlders to oppose
the plans of the syndicate. Most of the Western
stocks declined considerably, and the change
can be attributed only in part to the strikes or
to fear of further trouble. The truth is that
speculation for an advance has been fed by
abundant money unemployed, and the outflow
of gold and Withdrawal OF money for use IN the
interior tend to force sales Shipments OF
freight from Chicago last week were only
27.952 tons reported, and including the Chi
cago and Atlantic perhaps 33, 800 tons, against
II, ,OS2 last year. The actual proportion OF the
entire movement for the three Vanderbilt roads
was probably about 43 per cent; about Al per
cent for the Grand Trunk, Chicago and Allan
tic and Baltimore and Ohio, and only 1t per
cent for the two Pennsylvania roads. 1t is in
teresting to contrast with this shrinkage the
great expansion of bank exchanges, which were
about DO per cent larger than for the corre'
spending week last year. The increase i'll ex-
changes Is greatest ut cities where there Is most
speculative activity.
Changes in prices of products last week were
generally unimportant. Grain was sustained
by fear that transportation would be inter-
rrlpted and closed with only fractional changes
tor the week. Sugar and minor metals were
shade higher, while lard and taliow were
shade lower; turpentine was depressed by the
collapse of the recent speculation oil was de-
pressed by larger supplies; and cotton was de-
pressed by the refusal of foreign dealers to be-
lieve statements here industrlOusly circulated
about the next crop. With receipts OF 64,OOO
bales last week against 29,OOO for the same
week last year, and with stocks on hand
amounting to ,247, 900 bales, the last crop ap-
pears to be as much as the market can take
care of for the present. The dry goods trade is
said to be considerably affected by fear of the
interruption of railroad traffic, but strikes in
the mills seem little less important than a
week ago.
New-York tribune., 1886-03-29
MONEY And BUSINESS.

D0ings in the labor world during the last
week have been so important that less attention
has been paid TO the actual state OF trade, to
financial changes, or to events at Washington
Yet it cannot be doubted that the outgO of gold
and contraction of loans have had much IN
huence upon prices; that the volume OF trade
is surprisingly maintained in spite of Interrupt
tions by strikes and that the prostratiOn of
Secretary Manning introduces an element OF
uncertainty whero it was supposed the future
could be clearly anticipated.
A change in the Treasury Department would
involve great uncertainty, because the business
community is Obliged to rely upon the spirit
in winch the Secretary interprets and acts upon
all the laws governing him for its sole prOtec-
ton against the ruinOus tendencies Of the Silver
act. A different Secretary might have as
much pluck bat different understanding Of his
duties or the same understanding OF his dG
ties but less pluck and readiness to resist his
party; or he might even lean toward the silver
side. As respects confidence in the President,
it is significant that among the men most
named as possible successors of Mr.. Manning,
one is heartily in favor of silver coinage, and
another would certainly seek peace in the party
though it should cost a change Of policy as to
silver. The public has believed hat Mr.. Man
ming had large influence with the President.
Perhaps another man would offer 10 resistance
to influences, partisan or personal, that might
sway the President. Nothing at Washington
warrants greater hope of wise Legislation, aud
without such legislation the prosperity of the
country must depend to an unpleasant degree
upon the Secretary.
The outgo of gold ut last brought about
contraction of $3,6OO,O0O in the average of
loans reported on Saturday and perhaps Il
greater contraction in the amount outstanding.
Bat the decrease in deposits was no less than
Sll,172 600, tho banks reporting loss Of
So. 200 900 specie and $2,3OOO0 currency.
OF tbe specie 81, $4,000 went abroad, and the
Treasury owns 81 100000 more than it did a
week ago. But the banks have certainly sont u
large amount to the West; journals OF West
ern cities state that bank balances hcrc have
been drawn upon heavily, and The financial
Chronicle reports that leading banks ahlppcd
81, ,5sl, 900 in currency during the week.
