WANTED TO FIGHT.
created sensation In Belleyille, ILL.,, to-day
by assaulting j. NJ. Beach, the suburban re-
| porter of the st. Louis Republican, and de-
| Tying Colonel Morrison's henehmen when
| they attempted to eject him from the post
| office. Beach had worked hard for Morri-
| son during the campaign and had written
| several articles calculated to infiame Mr..
Bakers temper. They had not met for sew
| eral weeks and when they encountered each
other In the post office to-day Beach bowed
but the Hon. Jehu turned op him wrath
fully and began abusing him for his con-
| duct during the campaign. he denounced
the Chicago Netos and Times and tho Belle
Vile Ne1os and st. Louis Republican. He
then denounced Beach personally and
struck at him with his cane. Beach lodged
the first blow and the second struck him on
the arm. he then closed with Baker and
wrenched the cane from his grasp, at the
same time telling him he was too old man
| to strike.
After losing the cane Baker attempted to
| use his hands, but Postmaster Englemann
| rushed In between the pair and after sepa-
rating them ordered them to leave the
building. Beach stepped to the street, but
Baker refused to go. EngleI.ann, who is
an eppointee of Colonel Morrison, then
| made formal demand on Baker to leave
the premises Of the government. Baker
| again refused and Englemann summoned
two policemen. By this time large crowd
1
| friends took possession Of him and carried
him away. Beach was not hurt.
MEXICAN PoLIrIoAL AFFAIRS.
In the city Of Mexico Friday an I'm
| portant constitutional amendment was pro-
claimed. A movement has been going on for
some time to put an end to the system Of
taxation whereby the states collected
duties on national and foreign merchandise
In transit through their respective terri
1 t0ria9 n av6tam which hna taaf, rron o,,nna5
by railway managers "more harmful to the
development of the + ternal commerce Of
the country than any other plan that could
have been devised" In May last a
constitutional amendment was sub
imposition Of transit duties, import duties
on products of other states, and on the ex-
portation OF merchandise, either manu-
factured articles or products OF the soil.
The amendment also forbids the states to
assign special routes for the convenience OF
| goods OF native origin, as has heretofore
been done; also to put higher import duty
on foreign goods than will be fixed by the
| Federal law. This amendment having been
adopted by the majority of the states, has
received the sanction OF both chambers OF
Congress, and was yesterday proclaimed In
] the usual form. 1t is expected that Con-
gress, under 1t, will fix uniform duty OF
per cent ad valorem.
