success of the first tour exceeded all ex-
pectatiOns. Auxiliary organizations were
formed in most Of the cities visited, and
many other cities have applied for perform

FOR HOUSE RENT.
The Meaning of One of the Items in
the Naval ELL.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-There is very
cunning little job hidden in the naval APP
preparation bill, which was passed by the
other day. This item was so deity in
serted that no one discovered it, and unless
some senator has his attention called to it,
it will probably go through the senate
without objection. Under the head OF
appropriations for the bureau Of yards
and docks,'' aggregating in all to $3.50, 600,
there is a long enumeration of the subjects
comprised. Between the semicolons occurs
trent of four officers quarters at Phila-
delphia." Between the two following
semicolonS are the following words. trent
of eight officers quarters at Washington %
The officers quarters at Philadelphia have
been provided for before. There is not
enough room at the yards to furnish quar-
tiers to officers regularly stationed there, and
the government has rented four houses in
stead of building additional quarters in the
yard. AT Washington there is ample room
at the navy yard for all of the officers.
There is no authority OF precedent for the
renting of houses at Washington for any
naval officers. No amount is named in this
general appropriation, and
UNDER A LIBERAL CONSTRUCTION.
any sort OF palace might be rented which
would suit the fancy of any one Of the
eight officers, who remain modestly in the
background and are not named in the bill.
1t is inferred, however, that the appropria-
ton is intended to pay the rent of eight
separate establishments for the use and en-
pioyment Of the eight chiefs of bureaus
OF the navy department. Under the
law there chiefs of bureaus re-
reive the sea pay of commodores,
$4,000 a year, and there is no more reason
why congress should pay their house rent
besides than it should for any of the chiefs
Of bureaus in any of the other departments.
Ii the rule of giving houses to the members
Of any class of officials is once established
there would soon be no limit to it, The
house certainly would not have approved
this part of the naval bill if it had been at
Ri understood or even suspected. Atten-
lion now being called to it. it is more than
certain that the senate will strike it out 1t
Is an apt illustration Of how close scru-
tiny should be given to all of the appropri-
ation bills. The old Republican officials

nTSTREATED RY MEXYCANS,

Special to the Globe.
PAso DEL NoRTE, Mex, June a.
The local authorities of this city have pro-
ceeded to deal in a very summary manner
with an American citizen, which has pro-
duced much bad blood, and from the pres
ent outlook will result in diplomatic cor
respondence between the two republics
The origin of the trouble is newspaper
controversy of violent character. A
V. Cutting, an American, publishes a pa
per in this city, which is printed in Spanish
and English. In one of his issues Cutting
took occasion to eXcoriate Anlidis Medina,
Mexican Of a VIGOROUSLY bad character,
for which Medina had Cutting arrested, and
the local court not content with compelling
Cutting to publish retraction, threw him
into Jail, where he was rudely treated
Cutting, finally securing his release, crossed
over to FL Paso and, abovehis own signature
in last Sundays Ell Paso Herald,
published bitter attack upon Medina,
supplementing it with the statement that
he was willing to give Medina satisfaction
in any manner he desires. Medina, who is
influential, had Cutting arrested when he
recrossed the river and thrown into dun
geon. This occurred several days ago, and
Cutting, seeing no hope of speedy release,
ASSERTED HIS NATIONALITY
and claimed the protection of the American
consul. Brigham Immediately insisted upon
his release, and was promised that Cutting
would be released and permitted to remain
at the house of friend until the matter
could be adjudicated. On this the authori-
ties violated their pledge and allowed Gut
ting to remain in his dark cell.
Consul Brigham ascertained this
fact yesterday and at once made a
prompt demand upon the authorities for
the release OF Cutting. declaring that I'M
less his demand was complied with he would
lay the case before the state department. at
Washington. The case was discussed in
tho Alcaldes court yesterday, when it
was clearly demonstrated that Cutting
was imprisoned for the second offense
to crafty personal malevolence. This
offense, if such it can be called, was COM
mitted on the American side of the river,
beyond the jurisdiction Of the Mexican
courts, yet despite this fact the Mexican
authorities persist in holding Cutting ac-
countable and retaining him i'll custody.
The case is aggravated by the fact that
ether Americans have been subjected to
similar indignities illegally and to crafty
the hatred OF Mexican enemies.

JEFFERSON, Tex, June 27.-The firm of
Jones, Edgeworth 6 Sellers is engaged in
the saw mill business at Lodi, station on
the Texas Pacific railroad, nine miles north
of this city. E. A. Edgeworth, a member
of said firm, has been resident of this
vicinity many years. His parents separated
about 90 years ago, the father retaining
possession of the children. He taught
them to believe their mother died soon after
their separation, and they received it as
truth. Mr.. Edgeworth, the younger,
ascertained by some means that he,
as heir to his parents, had vested
rights in some property situated near
Waco and some city property in San An
tonic. Recently he has been prosecuting
his claim, and few days ago visited Dali
las to confer with distant female rela-
tive concerning his suit. He inquired if
she knew ''ot the whereabouts of any of the
relatives, or any Of the NAME" and was
surprised when she answered that she knew
of only one, and that was Aunt Susan,
who had lived on street, in that city,
The son lost no time in calling on ''Aunt
Susan" and found her to be his own
mother. How they lived so long in the
same vicinity without recognizing each
other is the strangest part of it. Mrs.
Edgeworth is resident of Dallas.

New YORK, June 27.-Miss Mary White,
the only child Of Mr.. Robert White, one of
the wealthiest residents of the beautiful
old town of Shrewsbury, N. j., went on
Wednesday to see q sick friend who lived
in the village. She often visited the friend,
and when night came on did not think it
worth while to let her father know where
she was supposing that he would know.
She did not go home on Thursday, and OH
account OF the unpleasant weather remained
with her sick friend. Miss Whites absence
gave rise to all sorts of rumors among
the gossips of Shrewsbury, and when they
found that Mr.. White did not know where
his daughter was, they decided she had
eloped. They chose Charles Billings of
D. d. Withers' jockeys. who lives ten miles
away, as the man with whom Miss White
had eloped, seemingly because young Bill
ings had once paid attention to one of Mr..
Whites house maids. The elopement
story was contradicted yesterday afternoon
by the calm arrival of Miss White at
her home. She had not been out of the
village during her absence from her fathers
house.

miscellaneous crowd on the lake front at
noon to-day. Norah had spent the morn
ing on the government pier, and when she
stepped from boat at the foot of Van
Buren, street was carrying about all the
liquid dynamite that she could hold and
maintain her perpendicular. She was
dressed in the conspicuously gaudy style
popular with the dusky bellies of Fourth
avenue, and as she left the dock was the
subject of divers sarcastic remarks by per-
sons there assembled. NOrah was in no
mood for tritling, and she whipped out
a razor and started through the
crowd, slashing to the right and
left without any regard whatever for con-
sequences. The crowd scattered in all di-
rections and escaped injury with the excep-
ton of Frederick Strand and his wife, OF
No. $40 Law avenue, who stood
IN THE IRATE AMAZoN'S WAY,
and not having cast jibes at her did not feel
that they had anything to fear. Their
security was only fancied, however, for
Nora made dash at Mrs. Strand drawing
the keen weapon across her left breast and
arm and again over her right arm and
shoulder, inhicting wounds which were
neither deep nor dangerous but which bled
freely and caused the lady to faint away
The drunken negress then turned her at
tention to Strand, cutting him across the
back just under the right shoulder, Having
accomplished this bloody work, the MUIR
derOus hag threw the razor into the lake
and fled across the park and along Harrison
street. followed by a mob of at least 1000
persons, who were clamorous for her life,
and threatened to string her up to lamp
post. She kept well in the lead, however.
and would no doubt have escaped had she
not turned into an alley and run into the
arms of Officer Manning, who arrested her.
She was locked up at the armory on a
charge of assault with deadly weapon
with intent to do bodily injury.
