A Bloody ARRAY.

Ell PAso (Tex), April 12.-A bloody
tragedy occurred last night at Mexican
residence on San Francisco street.
Lucero Gutierrez, the head of the
house, suspected his wife of inhdelity,
and in moment of madness was
maltreating her and at the same time
displaying dirk and threatening her
life. Francisco Ulmedo witnessed the
scene, but fear prevented him from
doing anything. The screams Of the
wife finally attracted Rominez, another
Mexican, who lived near by, and he
rushed into the apartment and endeav-
ored to check Gutierrez. He caught
the latter by the throat and received a
dangerous stab. Ulmedo by this time
interfered and was stabbed in the breast
by the enraged husband and died in a
few moments. Gutierrez colly looked
at his victims, wiped his dirk and then
walked away. He has not yet been
captured. His wife was also badly
wounded.

The War of Rates.

New YORK, April I3.-The Zri6une
says: There has been no settlement of
the differences between the transcon-
tinental lines although negotiations have
not been abandoned. The railroad
companies probably would have no
difficulty in completing an agreement,
but the purpose of the present negotia-
tions is to arrange terms with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
The railroads appear willing to pay a
reduced subsidy, but the steamship
company insists that it will accept not
less than $roo, 900 month, with the
provision that the contract cannot be
terminated in less than six months
notice. 1t is understood that the rail
roads have been offered $780, 900 a
month. c. P. Huntington said, in
reply to an INJURY "There is no settle
ment in sight. / have proposed sort
of sliding scale of the Pacific Mail
subsidy, to be varied according to the
conditions of business. 1t begins at
$7o, 900 month, and under no circum-
stances is it to exceed $85, in pre-
MUM payments. We would never
consent to raise the amount to $780,
900, for the tendency is more toward
lower rates than higher rates" A
prominent Director of the steamship
company said: 81 am sure that there
are not over two members of the board
who would vote to accept $4,000
month, and it is doubtful if majority
could be obtained in favor of the for
mer subsidy"

The Treaty.

DISCUSSING the Hawaiian treaty al
the inception Of the pending attack
upon it, we said that England stood
ready to take the commerce of those
islands the moment we dropped it.
The fight upon the treaty went on. 1t
was understood that Mr.. Morrison,
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, favored abrogation, and
the prospect of the fall of the treaty
appeared stronger than during any
previous assault Concurrently ap-
peared England's activity in the matter.
A commissioner from the Dominion
was delegated to the Hawaiian Govern
inert, in effect to arrange protocol
for a treaty to transfer the rich com.
merce now plying to this port to the
Pacific terminus of the Canadian Pa
cifc Railway. The commissioner has
returned and reported, and In his report
one reads the waiting attitude of Eng
land in the matter. National influence
threads upon the treaty. Ours has by
that means become paramount, but
with the fall of the treaty it falls never
to regain its footing. But, aside from
this, which is a political consideration
which we will consider further on, in
Hawaii American commercial enter
prise has made the most significant
progress that its. history can show, as a
matter of exterior interests. r. Alta.

FRIDAY. ..... APRIL as, 1886.

THE recommendations of the Com
mittee of six citizens appointed by the
Chief Justice of the Kingdom in re-
gard to the widening and extension Of
the streets throughout the burnt dis
trict will doubtless receive the hearty
endorsement of both property owners
and citizens generally. The report OF
the Committee is published in another
column, and the benefits arising from
such plan, or similar one, will be
manifest to all upon perusal. 1t is to
be hoped that the spirit of the report
will be carried out as soon as possible,
so that the rebuilding of the burnt dis
trict can go forward as speedily as labor
and material can be procured. The
fire limit should now be extended over
the district, or even beyond, and the
authorities should be careful that the
widening and extension of the streets
is not used as an excuse for putting up
wooden buildings.
