AMERICAN DIPLOMACY AND THE Flu
TIIER NOE OLE Its COMAIERCEn

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY AND THE FUR
TItERANCE OF ITS COMMERCE."
This is the title of a very instructive
volume just issued from the press of the
Scribners, New York. Tho author OF It.,
Mr. Eugene Schuyler, was In the consular
and diplomatic service Of the United States
for seventeen years, and no one is better
equipped or more competent to write upon
such an important subject than he by
experience, observation, and scholarly at
tainments, for IL is one Of the best written
books in the matter Of pure, classic, Eng
lish that has ever been published In America
or England. II is misfortunefor the com.
mercial interests and diplomacy OF the
United States that such work has not been
given to American diplomats and statesmen
years ago particularly so to ignorant sena-
tors and representatives of the United
States Congress, not few Of whom In the
present Congress will gain invaluable in
formation by careful and prayerful peru
sal thereof, for it bristles with facts and
figures from beginning to end, presented
in terse and incisivc style.
Uncle Daniels story of Tom Anderson and
twenty battles of the late war has attracted
considerable attention throughout the
country. The authorship has been attributed
to Gen. Logan, but this has been denied by
him. The publishers say.the author was an
officer in the Union army, OF good SOL
dierly qualities, and was personally cog
infant Of many Of the events whichihe re-
lates, and was participation in most of the
battles which he describes.
The entire story will be found Of absorb
ing interest, not only TO the soldiers and
sailors Of the late war, but to public men
and politicians who come under review In
its pages, as well as to the general reader.
The book is full of dramatic effects. Who
ever wrote It can be proud Of 1t, and 1t will
be In great demand. Messrs. j. NJ. Stod-
dard Il Co., Pacific building, street, are
the agents for this city.

The interview with ex-senator Joseph +.
Mcdonald, OF Indiana, printed among the
NATIONAL REruBLIcAN's special kilograms
yesterday has attracted marked attention
in this city by reason Of the high respect
universally entertained for the veteran
statesman as well as for the frankness-we
may almost say bluntness-with which he
states his views Of the policy pursued by
the administration and It's influence on the
morale and fortunes Of the Democratic
party.
1t will be remembered, in this connection,
that the Democratic editors Of Indiana in
convention assembled few days ago ex-
allied their horn and blew a bitter blast in
the direction of the white house. II was

TO honor their roquisition, intimating that,
as the office was admirably filled by the
present incumbent, he could see no occa.

was to the LAST degree eNasperating to the

The Murder of Captain Crawford to

An American Charged with Murder
to Have a Second Trial.

Ell PASo, Tex, March 13.-The result of Gen.
Lorenzo Vegas visit to the scene of the killing OF
Captain Crawford is beginning to bear fruit. The
Mexican government has already taken action in
the matter, having summoned Col. Santa Ana
Perez, the oficer$n command of the Mexican
troops at the time of the killing and others hay
ing knowledge of the affair, to the City of Mexico,
all the details. The Mexican Inhabitants in that
portion of the country where the killing OF Craw-
ford took place are greatly excited, and interpret
the haSty SummOnng OF Col Perez ana MS
brother officers to the City of Mexico to indicate
alarm on the part of the Mexican federal govern
ment at the possible outcome OF the unfortunate
affair.
Last week an officer of the Mexican army visit
ed the district and collected data as to the num-
ber and occupation of Americans residing in the
district. This is something never before done
and exciteS apprehension on the part OF the
Americans who feel that they are marked as host
ages or victims in case of international difficulties
with the native population that the United States
only seeks pretext to invade and annex several
Mexican States The practice of allowing Amerl-
cans to take arms and ammunition into Mexico
has been abolished.

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
An Express Messenger Murdered by
Masked Robbers
While Defending the Treasure Com
mitted to His Care.
A Most Daring ousrage on an Illinois
Railroad.

CHICAGO, March 13-A Joliet, ILL.,, special to
the Evening News says: One of the most daring
and bloody express rsbberies ever perpetrated in
Illinois occurred on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific west-beund express last night be
tween this place and Morris. The facts as learn
ed from the baggageman are that shortly after
the train which leaves here at 12.45 A. NJ. had
left this city he heard rap at the baggage car
door. Thinking it was the express messenger,
he opened the door and was met by masked rob-
bers, who covered him with their revolvers and
demanded his key to the express car. The key
was given up, and one .robber, who was on top of
the baggage car, held revolver on the baggage
man through a transom in the roof of the car,
while his confederates turned their attention to
the express car. 1t is thought that they tapped
on the car door and informed the messenger, II.
S. Nichols that the baggage man wanted to get in.
AT any rate the express car door was opened and
the desper ADDE'S entered, and then occurred one
Of the most bloody and desperate struggles on
record. Being confronted by the murderous vii
lains the messenger fought for his life and the
property in his trust until he fell to the floor
robbers then riled his pockets of the keys to the
SAFE which they robbed of all its contents various
iy estimated from $4,000 to $loo, ,ooo; Checks &c K!
left scattered about the floor Nothing was
known of the occurrence until the train reached
Morris the first spot west OF here. where, the
train stops to take coal. At Morris the local eX-
press messenger raped on the express car door,
but as the summons was not answered it was
thought the train messenger was asleep. Upon
the door of the car being opened the horrible evil
dences of the desperate struggle. and the dead
body of Messenger Nichols was discovered. In
one hand that was cutched the dead hero had
lock of dark colored hair torn from the head OF
one of his assailants. A large force of officers
from this place and Morris are now securing the
country and it is thought the guilty men will be
captured, in which event they will probably be
lynched, as public opinion is at fever heat, and it
will not be safe for the murderers to be brought
here.
The dead messenger was married man and
lived in Chicago. He had been in the service of
the United States Express Company about 10
AS to where the robbers boarded the train, all as
yet is more speculation. Conductor Wagner does
not remember having seen any suspicious charac-
tiers aboard last night, but Ithc general opinion is
that the gang got on the train at the coal shute
two miles west of here and jumped off just before
the train reached Morris.
