How Unscrupulous People Make Money Out
of Beecher's Sermons.

How Inscriptions People Make Money Out
of Beecher's, Sermons
LONDON, Aug 1.-The society papers say that
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's lecture tour is fall
ing fat and if his travelling expenses are COW
cred he may think himself lucky. Mr.. Beecher
is attacked because of the alleged fact that an
admission fee is exacted when he breaches. This
is denounced as "a no money, no gospel" system.
Major Pond, in letters to the newspapers, en-
phatcally denies the story, and says that Mr..
Beecher breaches every Sunday without charge,
and that his only profits are from his lectures.
The truth is, probably, that somebody has been
taking advantage of the crowds that attend the
sermons and turning an honest penny unknown
to Mr. Beecher or his friends. The religious
press teens with appreciatiye notices of Mr..
Beecner's sermons and references to the enthusi
asm of his audiences. Major Pond declares that
he cannot meet one-twentieth of the applications
for Mr. Beecher to lecture. Every town in
England wants him. says the genial Major.

sumes his lectures on Tuesday at Birmingham

VALPARAISO, Aug. Important reforms are
being attempted in Chill. One project provides
that no Senator or Deputy shall be interested in
any public contract; another is that neither the
President any Minister shall give an Office to
a near relative, unless it is proved that he is
qualified in every respect to hold it. Another
project is being agitated which is of more
startling character, and that is that the Presi-
dent of the republic shall, in future be elected
by majority of the Congress instead of by the
public The agitation of this matter is due to
the terrible bloodshed in the last elections, when
upwards of forty persons were killed and a
large number wounded.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 1.-The Democratic
congressional convention which assembled here
yesterday unanimously adopted the following
resolution:
Whereas From recent occurrences in the republic
Of Mexico 1t appears that American citizens residing
and being there have suffered violence from the hands
of officials and citizens of Mexico; and,
Whereas We believe it to be the duty of the Amer
ican government to urRold the flag and protect the
rights of citizens IN whatever lands or however
humble they may be- from all acts of violence and
outrage that may be perpetrated them, and to re-
sent every insult flag by foreign powers, to

Resolved, That we call upon the President of the
United States take prompt action for the release of
Cutting, imprisoned IN Mexico. and to de-
mand from tho Mexican government the punishment
of the murderers of the naturazed citizen Arresures
and that fun satisfaction and indemnity be paid his
family.
The Arresures outrage has produced intense
excitement throughout Texas, and Governor
1reland's telegram to Secretary Bayard is uni
versally indorsed. 1t is the general sentiment
that unless the federal government take prompt
and vigorous action to resent the indignity,
Texas ought to and will call Mexico to ac-
count for her treatnsnt of American citizens.

Primary Cause of the Cutting Difficulty.
Lexington Ky. Special.
/ met, tonight. Judge ]. Aug Buckler, of Ell
Paso, Tex. formerly of Paris KY He is judge
of the county court of FL Paso county. In con-
versation about the Cutting affair, which is
threatening rupture of the relations between
the United States and Mexico, he said the
trouble first began about woman. Cutting
formerly edited a paper in Ell Paso He then
crossed the line and established paper in Ell
Paso del Norte. He paid his attention to the
mistress of Mexican ex-editor named Medina
and trouble resulted of personal nature. Cut
ting published in his paper an article rejecting
on Medina. He was arrested and sued for libel
The case came into court and the result was
an agreement all around that Cutting should
publish retraction. which he did, in small
type, In obscure corner of his paper. He then
crossed the river to the American side, and
republished in the Ell Pas0 Herald reiteration
of his charges against Medina. Taking num-
ber of copies of the Herald he carried them over
into Mexico and circulated them, again laying
himself liable to the law of libel by so doing
He was again arrested and put in prison. The
national government of Mexico. desiring to
avoid trouble with this country, ordered the au-
thorities to release him. The officials at Chi
huahua declined, on the ground that the ma
t1onal government could not interfere with the
process or law In State, but hnally offer6d to
allow him to give bail. Cutting refused to ac-
cept these terms, hoping to secure money dam
ages for his imprisonment

your city!n asked the Commercial.
No. replied Judge Buckler. "At first, for
day or two. there was a little furry. but it
passed off. The excitement is confined now to
interior towns away from the seat of trouble,
where they do not know the facts. Medina was
formerly editor of the Ell Progressista. He is a
Mexican, but raised in California"

Troops Available in Case of Rupture.

Washington Special.
The question has already been raised in the
War Department as to how much force could be
readily nassed on the Texas border in case of
serious trouble there. General Stanley has in
the Department of Texas about 2,400 men,
divided into two regiments of infantry. two
regiments Of cavalry, battery of artillery, and
a body of Seminole scouts The cavalry are
the Third and Eighth, and the infantry the
Sixteenth and Nineteenth. There is only one
company at Fort Bliss but the other compa-
MES could be concentrated at short notice. If
still larger force were needed it would
take but few days to gather together
FIVE or six thousand regulars from Colo
rado, Kansas, Nebraska, the Indian Ter
ritory. and even from further north.

that the whole army could be mobilized for
occupation or invasion at very short notice 1t

LIVERPOOL. Aug. ARRIVED: Circassian Ser
VIA from New York.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-08-02

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The Post says: The
members of the Texas delegation in Congress
who represent the border districts do not ap-
prehend any serious trouble as the result
of the present feeling of indignation among their
constituents, owing to the murder of Francisco
Arresures by the Mexican authorities, from
the detention of Editor Cutting.
Representative Lanham, who represents
the Ell Paso district said that. so far as he
knew, the mattes was in the hands of the State
Department entirely, and would be settled
through the regular diplomatic channels with
8out the slightest effort at interference
being made by the people of El Paso and the sur
rounding country. In regard to the Arresures s
murder, he thought that while the people in the
immediate vicinity of Piedras Nagras were
doubtless indignant, he apprehended little actual
trouble other than the action taken by the United
States government. Other members opposed
the ldea of Texas taking upon herself the re-
sponsibility of Furnishing Mexico for the out
RACES. The murder of Arresures in itself, while
rendered of more national importance by the pc
culiarity of the attending circumstances, was in
the opinion of these gentlemen, only such a
crime as liable to happen at any time,
either IN Mexico or any country and the most
that the State Department can ask Of the
Mexican government is that Arresuress
murderers be punished, and, possibly,
some remuneration to the widow of
the murdered man for her loss
Representative Grain will have a confer
ence with Secretary Bayard on the matter to-
morrow

The only means of which we can con
ceive with human power for the preven-
ton, or at best the rendering less fire.
quent, of cyclones, is in the covering of
the face of the country as much as pos
sible with trees and verdure. Let there
be ascending moisture instead of ascend
ing currents of heated air. In the great
timbered valleys of the Amazon cyclones
are unknown; yet when we look at
the formation of the land, it is probably
one of the most monotonously level
regions on the face of the earth. In the
vast area drained by the Amazon and its
tributaries might be packed the whole
United States and not one of its boun-
daries would anywhere be touched.
Seen from any Of the eastern spires of
the Andes, this whole region is sea of
verdure. The boundless and unbroken
forests give it the appearance of an il
limitable meadow From the grassy
steppes of Venezuela to the treeless pampas
of Buenos Ayres expands this sea Of
vendure. In it we might at almost any
point draw circle of eleven hundred
miles in diameter, within which all
would be an unbroken evergreen forest.
And so matted, corded, and festooned
with vines are all the trees of this forest,
and such is the exuberance Of the under
growth, that 'smacheta" must be used
with which to hew way into the wall
ofvegetation the moment the voyager on
one of the rivers puts foot ashore from
his canoe. Such is the steaming moisture
within these great forests that salt soon
becomes brine, the best refined sugar
becomes syrup, epson salts and many
other kinds of medicine deliquesce, and
the best gunpowder becomes liquid in a
few days, even when inclosed in a
canister. Take away the forests and
verdure, and leave this regionya vast
desert plain, and it would no doubt at
once become very play ground OF
cyclones.

Marina Monsters Einhtinn.

The crew Of the British ship Humboldt,
from Rio de Janeiro for New Orleans,
were witnesses Of a remarkable combat
during their last voyage. The vessel
was plowing ahead off San Salvador
Brazil, when the attention of officers and
crew was attracted BY furious COM
motion of the waters a short distance
ahead. As they neared the spot they
saw that terrible combat was going on
between monsters Of the deep. The sea
was lashed into seething foam. It
fairly boiled within circumference Of
100 yards, and myriads Of mad white
caps floated away beyond this circle.
Moving closely up and slowly down they
stopped to watch the battle. 1t was o4e
to the death. A swordfish and a thrasher
had attacked tremendous sperm whale.
The strength, size and force were with
the broad backed sperm, which, wheeling
round and round as if working on
swivel, swung its huge tail with mighty
power. It would raise itself aloft, clear
out Of the water, blow spray through its
nostrils and make frantic efforts to an
initiate its foes; hut science, skill and
maneuvring were on the side Of its enc
mics. The thrasher is supplied with
s'sucker" that enables it to stick to what
ever it attacks The tactics adopted by
the pair were successful The thrasheF,
springing upon the back of the whale,
clung there, at the same time lashing the
unfortunate creature with its tail, actually
whipping it to death. The great sea
animal, with its most gigantic efforts,
was not able to cast it off. There it
held and lashed, while the swordfsh
drove his sword time after time into the
side Of their big antagonist The waters
we're dyed with the blood of the leviathan,
and in the course Of d short time he had
succumbed to the effects of the beating
and the stabbing, and foated On the yea
a lifeless mass.
