BORDER TROUBLES.
indications that Mexico Will Not
Change Her Law,

w ASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10.-Mr.
Manning, the new Minister to Mexico,
was instructed to secure the consent OF
the Mexican government TO the repeal OF
the Federal statute providing for the pun
lshment in that republic of violations of
lts laws committed on foreign territory,
the same under which Cutting. the El
faso editor, was tried. There are very
stfong indications that he will not be
successful. At the Department OF STATE
have seen copies of the speeches made by
PRESIDENT Diaz and Minister Manning at
the latter's formal presentation of his
letter OF credence. In the address of Mr..
manning the following passage occurs:
II nope frontier attriti0ns will be dimin-
lshed by the prompt actions of both gov
ernmentS in redressing wrongs and pre-
venting outrages, and if there are any
latent causes of fiction in any law or GUS
ION which might at any moment produce
dlscord, the conciliat0ry spirit of both
governments, trust, will eradicate them
in the interest of both peoples and to the
mutual satisfaction OF both govern
ments." This address, as is the custom,
was presented To President DiaZ some
days before it was delivered, and he, in the
preparatIon of his reply to the significant
portion OF the Minister'S remarks, had
the opportunity of reflection. His answer
to the suggestion that the much dis
cussed article 1856 of the criminal code be
repealed, is direct and positive. He said :
The unimportant conflicts OccasiOneu
by the cOrtiguity OF territory and pecu-
liar circumstances of the frontier will
not be sufficient to disturb the relations
of the two countries il, as is to be hoped
VIII be the case. the good sense of the
two governments makes the serious inter-
ests that are linked with the prevailing
harmony between the two people para
mount to all other considerations. We
should take good care, besides, that the
laws of each country be scrupulousy
obeyed by the citizens OF both" 1t is
said at the Mexican legation that the re-
ply OF President Diaz was hint to Min
lister Manning that 1T would be useless
for him to ask the repeal Of article 1856,
and confirms the information, hitherto re-
served, that the Mexican government
would not consent to it under any circum-
stances. To do so would require the con-
sent of the Legislatures of the "a MeXi-
can States and two-thIrds vote Of the
Congress of the republic.

DEATHS HUMAN DEMON.
Three Lives Taken With Revolver
-Lynchers as Avengers.

LARNED, KAs., Nov. 10.-Near Marine,
in the southeast corner of Hodgemen coun-
ty, lived until last Friday Sam Purple, a
brutal, drunken fellow. His family con-
sisted of himself, wife, his wife's sister
and four little children, the youngest OF
which was only three weeks old. Friday
morning the wife arose and prepared
breakfast. She then awakened her bus-
band, which enraged him. He sprang
from his bed and, seizlng his revolver,
shot his wife through the body, killing her
instantly, He then shot and killed a new
born babe and another of his children.
His sister-in-law, Miss Lowlier, was then
fired at, the ball passing through her arm
and lodging in her shoulder.
ALUCKY MISTAKE.
AS this emptied his revolver he pro-
ceeded to load his shotgun In order to
complete the work. A slight mistake in
this was the only thing that stopped the
into one barrel and shot into the other.
With this he endeavored TO blow of the
head of another child, but as there was
nothing except powder in the barrel the
chlld's face was only severely burned. A
heavy blanket was wound around the
child, and this securely wrapped with a
heavy wire, in hope that he might accom-
pilsn Its ueatn Dy suHocaGlon. IDe Cnild
will recover, although feartully distig-
ured. The murderer then mounted his
horse and started across field toward
Marine with the avowed purpose of mur-
dering his wife's father and mother.
THWARTED AND LYNCHED.
Meantime the young lady had made her
way to the village and notified the inhab-
itants and they had conEregated for
resistance. Seeing that his plan WAS
frustrated, Purple fastened to Jetmore
and surrendered to the authorities and
was placed in Jail. Last night a mob OF
about one hundred men went to the jail
and demanded the prisoner, who was de-
livered with little ceremony. He was
then taken to the scene OF the cTimC and
hanged to a Tree. Only one member OF
the family escaped serious injury, little
hoy who hid under a bed when he heard
b is father coming.

CANADA's COTTON LORDS.

Prices at the Manufactures Ad-
vanced by a Com binatiOn.
MONTREAL, Nov. 10.-The Canadian
cotton lords are becoming as aristocratic
as the coal magnates across the border.
By means of a com bination, in which all
the manufacturers are interested, they
nave advanced the minimum price of
gray cotton from 171ac. to 2Oc. During
the depression, which is now quickly
giving way to a general boom in all in
dustries, the price of cotton had been as
low as &c.,, so that before the combina-
tiOn was formed values had begun to
advance. Yet the price Of raw cotton
IS lower to-day than 1t has ever
been, and rich harvest IS In store for
those cotton lords whose industries are
protected by the paternal government OF
Sir John Macdonald and their national
policy. Mills which twelve months ago
were completely closed down are now
working over time, and have sufficient
orders on hand to keep them running
until next April, while several OF the
largest have refused delivery before next
June. Cotton stocks which a few months
ago we're down TO % and 30, to-day are
quoted above par. The same activity ex-
lists in the wooden mills, and. in fact,
there is every evidence that the Dominion
Is entering upon an era Of great mercan-
tile prosperity.

\ Russian Claims to Have Made an
Invention OF Importance.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-S. d.
Snolianotf, the Russian resident, claims
that he has invented a nitro-glycerine
bomb. He says he has discovered a
liquid with which nitro-glycerine may
be mixed, making it non-explosIve, but
Oy adding another chemical nitro
glycerine is transformed to It's original
state. He uses a double shell, the
inside one containing the non-explo-
sive mixture of nitro-glyceriEe
and the outer one containing the cbemi-
cal which llberates the true nitro-glyce-
rine. Maj. Gen. Howard says the inven-
ton 10 worth looking into, and other OIL
GERS have pronounced favorably upon
it. The French Minister OF War has
sent for details IN order to experiment on
the invention.

AT the afternoon session Hon. Putnam
Darden delivered the aDnual feport of ths
Master of the National Grange. He said
that there was some mlsconception of the
objects OF the national organization OF
Grangers and difference of opinion
among the members in regard to Its
political features. "In nearly every an

tion has been called to the exactions of mos

committees at d fferent sessions OF the
National Grange, showing how farmers
are robbed by monopOlies under protec-
ton OF the law, and suggesting remedies.
We have been trying resolutions and PEE
tltions long enough, and to little fleet. Let
us try a remedy which has been sugl ested
at nearly every meeting OF the National
Grange. Let us with our ballots send men
to the Legislatures, State and National,
who will equalize and reduce taxation,
restrain corporations from oppressine
the people, have the finances managed in
the interest OF the people, keep our pub
lie domain for actual settlers, prevent
gamblers from pricing our productions
and extend the same protection TO farmer
and manufacturer. For this great work

POLITICAL TRlCI1ERY.
Republicans = gain frying to Defeat
the Will of the People.


BosroN. Nov. 1O.-1llegality is believed
to have existed in the election in Ward 5
Of Manchester, N. H., which will, if es-
tablished, be far-reaching in its effects.
1t would result in the election of Sawyer
to the G0yernorship by the people, IN the
selection Of Congressman Haynes and in
the reversal OF the election of a Democratic
Mayor of the city. The irregu-
larty was in regard to the post
ing of the warrant for the cleo
ton. The law requires the warrant
to be made out at least two weeks before
the time for the election, that it shall be
signed and sworn to by the Selectmen.
snd at least two attested copies be posted
in conspicuous places in the ward the
same length of time before the election.
1t appears that the clerk OF Ward 5
made out the original warrant and two
COMES, posting the latter, to which he
mad signed the names of the Sc
lectmen. The original warrant was
rot actually signed until the morning of
the election. Thus the election was
called by what purpOrted to be copies of
warrant that had no legal existence at
the time required by the law. To these
lacts the CLERK and one of the Selectmen
nave made an affidavit, but the former
claims that he made and posted two
copies under direction of the Selectmen
