Japanese Trades Exhibit.
New YORK, Dec. 3o.-The Japan
ese trades exhibit at Madison-square
Gardens continues-one of the chief
city attractions, the gardens being Sc
crowded every fine afternoon as to
make it necessary to close the ticket
Office gate. The receipts have aver
aged $1,000 daily since the exhibition
opened, and the receipts from the sales
of goods are about as much more. The
Deakins take the company to Boston
about .the lst of March, as Barnum's
lease of the gardens begins then.
A Border Scare.
ST. LOUIS, Dec, 20. The GlObe Dine

United States soldiers, left Ringgold
Barracks for the Juan Maldona ranch,
eighteen miles above, on the river, to
arrest or disperse any armed force there
SollSStSu iOi tilS purpose OF invading
the city of Mier, Mexico. A Deputy
Sheriff sent to reconnoitre, reports that
there were about dozen armed Mexi-

a gathering of smugglers.
More Trouble in Mexico.
LAREDO (Tex.), December 3o.-
Major Kellogg, with detachment of
United States troops from Fort Ring

Mexican revolutionists from the State
Of Tamaulipas, who we're Occupying an
island on the Rio Grande river near
this place, which belongs to the United

ment Of Mems and Boys Clothing as it is posi-
BILE 10 find in this country. Chief among these
kinds sre our mstchless Dress Suits for gentle
men intending making calls on New Years day.

that new gas company Will by no means insure
this community against the evils it now suffers at
the hands OF the present greedy monopoly. The
STAR knows very well that the proposed remedy Is
an exceedingly risky one, since there Is always a
strong tendency on the part OF competing corpo-
rations TO combine their forces, and grind the
public TO q finer powder than ever between the
upper and neither mllstOneS thus brought together.

NOT REPEALED.

1t was believed by every one in this
section of The country that the pre-
emption and timber-culture acts would
be repealed at the session of congress
just closed, But there is many a slip
between the cup and the lip in con-
gressional affairs. The bill did pass the
house but when it came to the senate
it was loaded down with amendments
to which the house would not agree
Senator Plumb, upon the last day of the
session, stated that the senate conferres
had agreed to yield to everything ex-
cept the provision that where there
was an allegation of fraud in the entree
of land the issue should be sent to the
court for adjudication. The house con-
ferries had declined that and had also
declined to sign the conference report.
AS matters stood it was claimed that the
commissioner of the general land Office
could set aside absolutely pre-emp-
ton under any of the acts and prac-
tically without investigation except
such as one sided agents were now at
work seeking out and which consisted
of technical objections. This had pro-
duced great CONSERVATION and great
Indignation. The senate conferres felt
that cases involving the title to valuable
property, ought to be tried as all other
questions are tried that relate to pro-
perty or the rights of individuals.
This is the senate's side of the case.
senator Plumb is one of the most motor
ious land-grabbers in congress. Three
years ago he was interested in one of
the largest bands of cattle that ever
trespassed upon the lands of the Indian
nation and perhaps he is yet. However,
very few of the people OF Idaho will
kick because the repeal did not occur.
What occasions the most concern just
now is whether or not commissioner
Sparks will live through it.

The Veteran Guests.

The strongest mind and the clearest
judgment could not be otherwise than
affected to certain degree in passing
through the exciting scenes which our
grand army visitors witnessed since
they left their homes in the far east,
All along the route. even where there is
no more than cluster of houses, they are
greeted by the plaudits of admiring
people. At the larger towns and popu-
ous cities where they stopped if it were
only few hours they were welcomed
with salutes of cannon and entertained
with collations to appease their hunger
and thirst after travelling the arid plains
by rail. 1t was only, however. when
they reached San Francisco that the
