BUTLER. Pa. July 2S.-[Special Telegram
to the BEE. Peter Rattigan, editor of the
Millerstown Herald, was publicly horse

leading women of the Royal TemplarS of
Temperance. Last Tuesday the Millerstown
branch of the Templars held IA picnic at
Slippery Rock, and in the next issue of Rat
tigan's paper description of the Society'S
members and their talk was given. The good
women of Millerstown were spoken of as
''towsey-headed, red-nosrd female men" and
as holding the men of the party under strict
slavery. The women were also spoken of
as "ugly guzzlers," and on reading these re-
marks they Immediately made arrangements
to 90 for the editor. Saturday last,
Rattigan, who is also postmaster,

time last night Miss Murphy, Miss Bell, and
about dozen other eXasperated templars ap-
pearcd at the pOstOilice, armed with heavy
cowhide whips, and when Rattigar appeared
they went for him until he was black and
blue from head tn foot. He was also hung in
eiligy by the women. The action met With
general approval both here and at Millers-
town, and the Templars congratulate them
selves that they have dealt to the liquor fac
injured by the whipping.

PETRoLIA, Pa, July ,2S. = Press. "A
very sensational whipping occurred at
Millerstown about eight o'clock last night, in
which Peter Ill. Rattigan, editor of the Her

Last week seven coach loads of temperance
people among whom were some prominent
and influential citizens, visited Koesters'
park at Slippery Rock and spent the day
pleasantly. An article appeared in the Her
AIDS Saturday edition giving an uncompli-
mentary description of the people composing
the party, and it was claimed as Rattigan's
lected as targets, and yesterday evening,
prior to the closing of the postOIilce, twelve
or fifteen women, armed with whips, planted
themselves near the entrance and on Ratti-
gan's appearance they belabored him. and
only desiSted from exhaustion. Rattigan
quietly stood 1t and offered no resistance.

Protection of American Citizens.

WAsuGNGToN, July 2s.--The speaker to-
day laid before the house communication
from the secretary of state in answer to the
house resolution, enclosing a mass of CORE
spondcnce relative to the imprisonment and
release of Julius Santos by the government
of Ecuador, after a long correspondence
touching Santos nationality. Secretary
Bayard, on May l, 1885, wrote C0nsul-General
Beach that this government held that Santos
citizenship was not in doubt, and that he
must have the same absolute protection for
his property as any other citizen of the
United States. No further delay in doing
justice to Santos could be expected from the
government of Ecuador, or permitted by the
government OF the United States.
The United States Sulgcneral was also
notified that Commander NOLAN, of the
United States ship WachusettS, would be in
structed to remain within reach pending a
prompt settlement of the case, to afford Santos
an opportunity to return to the United States
should he desiIe. In August, as it was All

THE MEXICAN SITUATION
The Opinion Prevalent That Arms
Must Settle the Difficulty.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-lSpecial to the
BEE. People who study International af-
fairs believe now more than ever that the diff
ferences between the United States and Mex
leo will not be settled till there is war. For
the first time in many years the executive
branch of the government Is greatly stirred
up over the failure of our sister republic to
release certain Americans held there In the
filthy prisons upon technicalities and charges
of which they are not guilty. A great deal
of feeling is being created in the circles
where most Is known OF the condition of af-
fairs, and the probabilities are that scrm.
mage would result in short order If we had
fighting men at the heads of Our affairs. The
objections to the course of Mexico are not
based upon the specific abuses and
outragcs found in the Imprisonment
of the Texas editor, Cutting, and two vi thioc
others, out the general policy prevailing.
Unucr the laws in Mexico, Americans so
journing there on any mission may be and
arc thrown into horrible dungeons upon the
slightest protest, and the party at whose in
stance the arrest is made can control the
time of Imprisonment by simply paying the
costs of confinement which amount to
scarcely more than dollar week. Then
when the prisoner Is finally re leased there is
no redress, The courts afford no place for
rghting wrong pcrpctratcd upon foreign
ers. If an American in Mexico displeaScs
native he is arrested and Jailed, and there he
remains, with some trihing false charge
till the person who has had him Imprisoned
chooses to let him go. There is no prclimi-
nary examination or trial, as in this country,
and the bail procedure and habeaS corpus, for
some reason, do not apply there, especially to
Americans.
a treaty with Mexico for the purpose of
giving American subjects more speedy trial
is talked of in the event the efforts now
pending for the release of our prisoners fail.
The suggestion has frequently been made in
diplomatic circles that the procedure for
criminal trials in Mexico should he changed,
especially as they applied to Americans, but
the reply is repeated that Americans are no
better in Mexico than MeXicans, and that the
same law, and no other, applies to all people
within the borders of the republic.
