EADs' sCHEME ENDANGERED.
Mexico Dissatisfied with Discrimination
Against Der Dollar.


WAsHINGToN, March Lit is believed
by those familiar with the status of the
affair at the Mexican end that the amend
ment to the Tehuantepec ship railway
bill will exert u very Untayorable inhu-
ence upon its destinles. In the first place,
Mexico is extremely jealous OF any ap-
pearance Of dictatiOn by this government,
and will he slow TO ratlfy changes in the
original contract inspired by the Congress
at Washington. In modifying the clause
specifying the manner in which the tolls
over the railway are to be paid, the Com
MERGE Committee has furnished Mexico
with preteXt iOr reViving an old and
still active source Of discomfort. 1t
seems that in drawing up the original
contract Eads insisted on the pro-
Vtso that tolls should be paid in
gold by all except MeXicans, who were
authorized to pay in Mexican silver.
Mexico objected to this arrangementyery
strongly, representing that for all trans
actions on Mexican soil Mexican silver
should be legal tender. The representa-
tlves of Mexico saw an opportunity to re-
habilitate their silver dollar by making 1t
available for the railway tolls and thereby
creating a demand for il, and il was with
a very i'll grace that they VI lded to Capt.
Eads' demand. Mexico has" never been
reconciled to the ARRANGEMENT, and will
even more vigorously resent the proposed
amendment that makes United SCates
mOaey the standard and leaves the MeXi-
can dollar out except for Mexican tolls.
In other words, the Mexican dollar, which
is intrinsically worth mere than ours, is
placed below the salt and left subject to
the same old injurious and unequtable
discount.
AS this amendment OF the Eads bill re-
quires the ratification Of the Mexican
government, and since it involves the
renewal in more offensive form OF an
arrangement originally distasteful, the
impression with persons cOgnizant OF af-
fairs in Mexico is that it will fan into
activity all the opposition that was sub
dued with so much difficulty in the first
instance. 1t seems TO be no light under
taking to have legislation reviewed in
Mexico under any circumstances, but
when the contemplated revision involves
the intensifying of discomfort already
existent the task becomes formidable in
deed.
The submission of these changes 10 the
Mexican Congress for ratification will be-
the signal for the renewal OF the spirit
aud an organization of the forces of OppO-
siti0n to Capt. Eads; and it is believed
that they have lost nothing of earnestness
or efficacy through the lapse OF time. The
feeling in Mexico, as here, is that good
deal too much time is being taken up with
Capt. Eads, and that his enterprise,
which is represented as being OF such sur
passing commercial merit. seems strange
ly dependent upon governmental aid.

HE WOKE FROM HIS DREAM.
A SOmnambulist Jumps from a Train
Turning at Lightning Speed.

Somnambulist Jumps from a Train
running at lightning Speed.
DETROIT, Feb. 2S.--A we'll known
Northumberland Ashley, of Clinton
county, Mich.-got aboard the Canada
Southern night express train for Detroit
the other night, and went to bed in the
sleeper. At / O'Clock he arose from his
berth, and clad only in his shirt and
drawers, walked to the door of the car.
The porter watched him curiously for an
instant, and from the meaningless eX-
preston in the walkers eyes concluded
that the man was not awake and started
after him. Ashley opened the door Of the
car, and just as the porter attempted to
take hold of him hejumped of the platform
into the snow. The train was gong at
the rate Of 40 miles an hour and when
the porter rushed through and told the
conductor the latter thought the man was
Instantly killed, aud concluded it was
unnecessary to stop.
When the train made its next stop the
conductor telegraphed to the agent at
Attercliff and instructed him 10 send out
and get the remains and ship them on to
Detroit. Then the conductor took the
names of all the witnesses necessary for
The inquest. The Attercllt agent re-
ceived the message as a westbound freight
ran into the station, and he instructed its
conductor to take his engine to the spot
where Ashley jumped and bring the body
in. He was looking for q box for the con-
ductor to deposit Ashley's remains when
a very cold and very scantily clad man.
entered the station and proceeded to thaw
himself out at the stove as though moth
ing had happened.
The man was Ashley. He had landed.
fnrtunate1y in a snow bank and of
course, woke up. He Immediately COM
pretended what had happened, and.
though not knowing which way the near
est station was, started on up the track,
and fortunately took the right direction.
Had he gone otherwise he would soon
have frozen to death, as the weather was
deg. below zero.

STEAMER CITY OF SiEXICO.
The Story of Her Capture by One of the
Officers Under Arrest.
From tie Nelo YORK HeraId


KEY WEST, FLA, Feb. 27.-The follow
ing story of the capture OF the steamer
City OF Mexico Is told by one of the steam
ers officers: after landing a cargo of
corn at Progresso the City Of Mexico
steamed for Belize, where we took ten
passengers on board, continuing TO Blue
fields, where some OF the passengers in
tended to remain, the others to proceed to
Nicaragua via Great Fawn. Tne Blue
fields authorities, without assigning rea-
sons, prohibited their landing, whereupOn
our Captain decided to continue to Corn
island for water. On arriving at St. An
drews the detained passengers attempted
TO laud, but the authorities drove us of,
stating that in consequence Of the
Republic of ColOm5ia being in
state Of siege and the passengers
not being provided with passports they
could not be permitted to land. The
Captain therefore decided to continue tie
voyage TO Kingston, but the first mate,
who was intoxicated, refused to do any
duty. The Captain appealed TO Mr..
Brooks, the consular agent, who came
aboard and settled the difficulties. Then
the crew demanded that the agent dis
arm the passengers and remain aboard
until the vessel reached Kingston. The
agent asked $500 in American gold to go
TO hingSIOl. WUicu tue Adpldlu DOIiOWeu
from a passenger and the agent took
ashore, returning subsequently with his
baggage and remaining all night. The
following morning he ordered us to con-
tinue the voyage. but the mate, still in
toxleated, mutinied, abusing everybody.
The crew then gave notice that they de-
sired to enter a protest al the consulate,
and the agent notified the Captain that
his crew demanded the landing Of all
passengers, aud for this reason he de-
tanned the steamer and ordered the crew
ashore.
UNDER THE GUNS or THE GALENA.
He then sent TO Colon for assistance,
and the Galena arrived few days after
with the Consul. The latter took the
dispositions Otsthe crew, depOsed the Cap
tain and ordered an armed crew from the
Galena to take charge Of the steamer.
Her captain, Emilio DelgOrdO, and my
self were placed under arrest aboard the
Galena. The crew resumed their duties
on the steamer and started 10 Colon with
out giving the passengers any hearing.
A short distance from the harbor she en-
countered the spanish gunbOat Jorge 5u-
an aud anchored. The Galena went
alongside. and as the result Of the cpifer-
ence between the officers OF the tM0 1t
was decided that the City OF MexleWpro-
coed TO Key West, and the personbl Wider
arrest aboard the Galena be transferred
to the steamer, excepting Capt, Kelly,
who remained prisoner on the ffiedte.

ITALIANS HELD IN BONDAGE.
Enormities of tho PadrOne System
How Immigrants are Deceived.


How Immigrants are Deceived.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Senor Celso
Caesar Moreno, whose efforts for the de-
struction of the Italian padrOne system
in this country have been untiring since
1871, made startling statement on this
subject before the House Committee on
Labor day or two ago. Mr.. Moreno de-
ecribed this system as involving a condi-
ton Of human slavery too atrocious al
most to be believed, and the fruitful cause
Of a very large proportion OF all tue crimes
committed by Italian residents in the
United States. ''lhis traffic" as
be described it, Sin italian slaves"
he said, "waS begun in 1853
by the Consul-General OF Italy
at New York, and ever since the Italian
consulate in New York has been the
principal headquarters of the business,
and of the padrOnes and their accom-
plices. The Italian cCnsuls in Phlla-
delphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and
Merolia, the late consul in Baltimore,
were all charged by him with being IN
terested in this business. The Italian
newspaper In New York, Eco IL Itdtld, he
said, was the organ of the trafickers. de
declared that there were now in the cities
and towns of this country more than
cV,uUV ltduduS, VI DOlH SSAeo anu vi al
ages, kept in the most ahect slavery,
and on whose sweat and blood the pad
rones and their accompliees have grown
rich and fat. Even here in Washing
TONI he said, "an Italian had pro-
posed to deliver any number Iof
his countrymen, like SO many slaves,
for cheap contract labor. The Ameri-
can people should drive from their
shores the malefactors who make
a business OF kidnapping and enslavlng
men, women, and children" He described
the system as Kidnapping OF children and
the entieing OF men and women to this
country under false pretenses. After
they get here the E 1drones tell them they
are invested with over by the Pope, the
King Of Italy, or the President OF tie
United States, OF all OF them, as the case
may be, to control their labor and charge
them therefor. The organ grinder. with
his monkey, is, nine times out of ten, the
absolute slave Of the padrOne. AS one
means of breaking up this system, Mr.
Moreno suggested that the State Depart
ment represent the facts 80 The Italian
government and ask for the recall OF the
Italian consuls who are interested in the
continuance OF the traffic. There is bill
before the committee applying remedies.
The committee were much impressed by
Mr.. Moreno's statement, and gave assur-
ance that the whole subject will be fully
considered.
