to Report Significant Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Aug 3-The House committee
on foreign affairs at called meeting to-day,
took up and considered the resolutions intro
duced by Representatives Belmont, Grain and
Lanham, in relation to the Cutting case, and
also the correspondence on that subject fur
nished by the Secretary of State Represents
tive Lanham appeared in person before the COM
mittee in support Of his resolution, and finally
the following preamble and resolutions, drawn
up by Representative Grain, were adopted:
Whereas A. K. Cutting, an American citizen is
wrongly deprived Of his liberty by Mexican officials
at Paso del Norte, in the Republic of Mexico; and
whereas, the Mexican government refuses to re-
lease said Cutting upon the demand of the President
OF the United States and whereas the governrne mt
OF Mexico alleges for its refusal to comply
with such demand, that said Cutting is guilty OF yio
lstlon OF Mexican law upon American soil; and,
whereas, the House of Representatives, while ap-
preciatng the disposition shown by the government Of
Mexico to carry out international obligations can
never assent to the doctrine that citizens of the
United States may be prosecuted in foreign country
be it
Resolved That the House of Representatives an
proves of the action of the President of the United
States in demanding the release of said Cutting.
Resolved That the President of the United States
be and IS hereby requested to the demand for
the release OF said A. X. Cutting.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted
and will be laid before the House by Chairman
Belmont tomorrow, and immediate action re-
Quested.
A member of the foreign affairs committee
holding close relations with the administration,
stated tonight that the adoption of the Cutting
resolutions, should they pass the House to NOR
row. would imply much more than seemed to be
generally supposed. In the first place. he said.
Mexico has been asked to release this man Cut
ting. Mexico has refused and has given rea
sons. These resolutions declare those reasons
insufficient. and requested the President to re-
new the demand Should this renewed demand
be refused minister will be at once with
drawn, and then, in all probability an extra
session of Congress would have to be called.
Mr. Belmont, the chairman of the House
committee on foreign affairs is working most
earnestly for the release of Mr. Cutting.

bury Cabinet People call to mind that twenty
years ago ne figured as correspondent in the cell
ebrated Chetwynd divorce case, which caused al
mostas much scandal at the time as the Dixie
Crawford trial has recently done. It was show n
that IN 1860 he had made the acquaintance of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chetwynd. of Longdon House,
Stafordshire. Mr. Matthews made use of his
position as friend of the family in the first place
to convert Mrs. Chetwynd to the Roman Catho-
tic Church without her husbands knowledge
or consent, and then to deprave her
already unsettled morals by course
of indecent French literature. Mrs. Chetwynd's
diary likewise gave the most telling evidence of
her deep infatuation in Henry Matthews, whom
she refers to as ner idol and her god. As no di-
rect evidence could be procured to show the
actual Intimacy with the correspondent, the jury
gave verdict against the husband
As IN bikes case, however, Henry Matthews
was universally condemned by public opinion.
Even when bitten with parliamentary aspira-
tions. four years afterward he did not seek cleo
ton in England, fearing that the Chetwynd
scandal would be brought up against him, but on
the strength of protesting most violent Fenan
opinions he induced the inhabitants of Dungar
van toTlect him on the home-rule ticket AS
soon as he had taken his seat in the House moth
ing more was heard of his pro-Irish sympathies,
and at the next general election he was left out
in the cold.

Arrested the Wrong Man.

ST. LoUis, Aug Eek United States Marsha
John r. Tanner was arrested last evening in
East St Louis on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The ex-Marshal was on
his way to Chicago, the Chicago 81 Alton ex-
press train, when two men approached him and
told him they wanted him. Mr. Tanner thought
they were burglars, and broke away from them,
wheMakvely scrimmage ensued. He was finally
overcome, and, after being handcuffed, was led
to the police station, where the above charge
was entered against him. He protested his in
nocence and summoned a friend, who vouched
for his good character and explained to the
officers that they had arrested the wrong person,
the right one being man who had given firm
of lawyers the agency of Chicago commercial
enterprise for $l2 90. On telegraphing to Chicago
it was found that no such enterprise as the agent
represented existed, and the arrest followed.
After being convinced that they had captured
the wrong man, Mr.. Tanner was released He

Report of the ComrAisei3n Appointed Under
Salisbury's Ministry in 1885.
LONDON. Aug. 3.-The final report of the COM
mission appointed by the Conservative govern
ment in 1885 to inquire into the causes of the de-
preston in trade will soon be issued. The re-
port will announce that the commission has not
found any evidence Of depression as regards re-
striction of trading operations. The volume of
British trade has increased more than commen-
surately with the growth of the population.
Low prices and the consequent diminished profits
constitute the only evidence of depression. There
has been greatly prolonged period of overpro-
duction, owing to vast increase of wealth in
the country. The commission does not believe
that legislation regarding labor has injured trade,
and deprecates an increase in the num-
ber of hours of labor and a
diminution Of wages The report
distinctly favors trades-unions The commission
considers the recent failure of agricultural pro-
duction the main if not the sole cause of the
diminution of the home trade. which, otherwise,
| the commission believes. would be in satisfac-
tory condition. The condition of the working
classes, the report says has greatly improved in
the past twenty years. Competition, both in
the home and foreign trade, is greatly increased,
especially as regards Germany whose trade is
improving, and pressing England closely at home
and abroad. No fiscal alteration is suggested in
the report, and no reference is made to protec-
ton or reciprocity. The commission recon-
mends that the British consuls report more fire.
quently, and urges that British factors adapt
their manufactures to the necessities of foreign
markets, in which respect, the commission says,
Germany excels.

Prospect Of Further Riots at Belfsst.

BELFAST, Aug. 3-The Mayor of Belfast has
sent circular letter to the different magistrates
of the city asking them to actively exert their
influence to promote better feeling among the
people towards the police, so that there may be
cooperation between the latter and the popu-
lace for the prevention of disorder and the sup
preston of lawlessness. Crowds of are
assembled in different parts of the city, evident
ly bent on fighting the police.
The jury in the case of the boy who was killed
in the re- ent riots, has given verdict that the
toy was Aallea by the police, who were justified
in firing on the mob.
Rioting was renewed here to-day, but the dis
turbance was slight as compared with the out
breaks of Saturday and Sunday. The police
succeeded in dispensing the mob.
The Nationalists of Castle Blayney, Monaghan

PARIS, Aug. 3.-General Boulanger's position

ment in which he denies that one and admits
that the other letter is genuine. wherein he
thanks the Due d'Aumale. 1t is rumosed that
if he persists in his denial the Due de Chartres
will challenge him to duel. The Francaise de-
nounces the denial as a subterfuge unworthy
the commander of the army. LIE Paris asks
whether it is possible to keep Boulanger at the
head of the military.
General Boulanger has admitted that he wrote
the letters thanking the Duo dAumale for pro-
posing his promotion to the rank Of general
