Whereas, A. X. Cutting, an American citizen. is
wrongly deprived of his liberty by Mexican Off
cials at Paso del Norte, in the republic of Mexico
and
Whereas, The Mexican government refused to
release said Cutting upon the demand of the presi-
dent of the United States. and
Whereas, The government of Mexico alleges, as
a reason for its refusal to comply with such de-
mand, that the said Cutting is guilty of violation
of Mexican law upon American soil: and
Whereas, The house of representatives, while
appreciating the disposition shown by the govern
ment of Mexico to carry out international o6liga-
tons, can never assent to the doctrine that citizen
OF the United States can be prosecuted in foreign
country for acts done wholly upon American soil.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, First-That the house of representa-
ves approves of the action of the president of the
United States in demanding the release of the said
Cutting.
Resolved, Second-That the president of the
United States he hereby requested to renew the de-
mand for the release of the said A. X. Cutting.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and

mont and immediate action requested.

boxes about twenty feet south of the alley. The
bomb went in northwesterly direction and landed
about even in the mouth of the alley. Did not
see any one in the crowd fire at the police.
On CrOss-eXamination witness said he did not
take hi eye off Fielden from the time the people
came until some time after the bomb exp oded. He
felt certain Fielden would be one of the first to be

RESOLUTION
ADOPTED BY THE TENTH CON
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT CON-
VEN'rIAN

Following are the resolutions adopted
by the democracy of the 10th district,
which met at San Antonio Saturday last,
and which unanimously nominated Hon.
Joseph ID. Sayers for congress. Travis
Hooper and w. @. Denny:
BY Mr.. o. Ellis, of Uvalde
Resolved, By the democracy of the tenth
Q ngressior al district, in convention asi
sembled, that while heartily endorsing
the doctrine of tariff for revenue, as
enunciated in the platform adopted by
the national democratic convention at
Chicago in 1884, still, in view of the mag.
nitude of the interest involved and the
great loss and sacrifices that would result
from hostile legislation, we believe that it
would be unwise, impolitic, lnexpedient
and unjust for congress, by tariff legisla
ton, to place wool upon the free list; and
that in our judgment wool should bear a
proportionate reduction with other re
tected industries of equal magnitude in a
revision of tariff rates, keeping in view
the pledges of the party to reduce tariff
upon imports to revenue basis.
Mr.. Ferguson offered the following,
which was adopted:
| Resolved, That it is the sense of tlis
convention that the 10th district has an
able and industrious congressional repre-
sentative in the Hon. Jos. ID. Sayers.
| Resolved, That on behalf of the peopla
of this district, we, their representatives
in convention assembled, tender to Major
Sayers sincere thanks for the valuable
and distinguished services he has rendered
his constituents in the present congress.
Resolved, That we hereby express to
Major Sayers our continued confidence
and esteem, and pledge him our cordial
and energetic support in his candidacy
| for reelection.
Solon Stewert of Kinney, offered the
following, and it, too, was adopted:
Whereas, From recent occurrences in
the Republic of Mexico, it appears that
American citizens residing and being
there have suffered violence from the
hands of the citizens and officials Of
Mexico; ana
Whereas, We believe it the duty OF the
American government to uphold the heg
and protect the rights of our citizens in
whatever lands or howsoever humble they
may be, from all acts of violence AMI out
rage that may be perpetrated upon them,
and to resent, as an insult to our flag,
every insult shown by any foreign power
to any of our citizens, whether native
born or adopted; therefore be il
Resolved, That we call upon the presi-
dent of the United States to take prompt
action for the release of Cutting, now inn
prisoned in Mexico, and to demand from
the Mexican government the punishment
of the murderers of the naturalized citizen

demnity to be paid his family.
Mason offered resolution favoring the
free coinage of silver at its present stan
dard weight The resolution was lost.
Mason said that it Was Mr.. Sayer's views,
and the convention had Just endorsed
him.

GREER COUNTY.
SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT
A RASH AND CONFUSED
ASSERTION

The STATESMAN published that part of
Commissioner Herndons protest which
asserts that "the true Tooth degree of
west longitude between Red river and the
Arkansas river as described in the treatys
was established some thirty years ago,
and has been accepted by both govern
ments ever since, so far as adopted, as the
true and real boundary line of the treaty
of 22d February, 1913.
The STATESMAN here gives what Com
missioner Freeman said in reply to that
assertion-showing how that matter is
viewed from Texas standpoint. "His
rash and confused assertion that "the
true Tooth degree of west longitude be-
tween Red river and the Arkansas river
as described in the treaty was established
some thirty years ago, and has been ac-
cepted by both governments ever SINCE
80 far as adopted, as the true and real
boundary line of the treaty of 22d Feb,
1819," will hardly be accepted as true
without some evidence of the fact; in
view of the express declaration of the act
of congress providing for the joint COM
mission now in SESSION., that the inter
section of Red river by the Tooth merid-
ian, according to the terms of the treaty,
had ''never been fixed by any authority
competent to bind the United States and
Texas"
If this singular declaration of the Hon.
W. S. Herndon refers to the act of the
Texas legislature of November 25, 1850,
in which Texas agreed with the United
States that her boundary on the north
should commence at the 160th meridian,
west longitude, and pass westward along
the parallel of that latitude 36 degrees
80 minutes, to the 103d meridian, and
there pass due south etc, hardly any
SANE MAN
will be found to agree with him that in
that act any intention to abandon the
whole northern boundary to the east of
this beginning point, and to withdraw
westward from her eastern border to be
ginning point on the Tooth meridian; or
that there was any intention of compro-
missing and fixing that part of her eastern
boundary from Red river northward in
anywise, either agreeably to or differently
from its determination by the terms of
the treaty of 1919, which terms affecting
this line we're not then in controversy, or
in any manner brought under consid-
Grafton.
The Hon. w. S. Herndon, in this easy
concession of vast property of the state
of Texas, manifests none of the tenacity
for which ne is somewhat remarkable"
