THE CUTTING CASE,
What President Diaz Says About It in His
Annual Message to Congress.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 16.-In his annual
message to Congress, read on the assembling of
that body to-day, President Diaz said that
Mexico's relations with foreign governments had
continued generally on terms of friendship and
good understanding There had, however, re-
Gently occurred an incident which threatened to
destroy the harmony and cordialitv existing be.
tween this republic and its northern neighbor.
A case of small Importance in itself, it excited.
in an unexpected manner, and owing to a con-
junction of circumstances, the passions on
either side of the Rio Grande. 81 refer" con-
tinues the message Ito the matter of the
American Journalist, which has already come to
your knowledge by publications made in the
Diario Official We must congratulate our
selves that. in such an emergency, the dignity
of the government and the good name of the
country could be savec without seri-
Gus conflict, thanks to the prudent
and strictly legal conduct of the courts and
authorities OF the State Of Chihuahua, as well as
co the good sense of our own people and the gov
ernment OF the United States, which, when bet
ter informed, did not insist on its demand, which
gave rise to this transient difficulty. Texas
papers have on this account alluded to other
causes OF alleged outrages on citizens of that
country by officials of our own In their eager
ness to accumulate charges against Mexico
they have referred mistakenly to the case
of an individual named Francisco Arrasures, the
author of various crimes committed in our terri
tory. 1t will suffice to observe that Arrasures
was of Mexican nationality, and was voluntarily
delivered by the Texas authorities to a force of
the State of Coahula without any previous de-
mand for his extradition, that in this case it
will be seen that, as regards this supposed citi-
zen of the United States. there Is occasion
for controversy between the two governments. !"
Regarding the silver question, the President
thinks it futile for Mexico to endeavor to do
more than await the progress of events, and
urges renewed attention to agriculture in order
to meet, in this way, payments due for imports
of foreign goods The President states that ar.
rangements have been made regarding the rail
way across the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, which he hopes will result
in pushing this great work.
He speaks of his deep interest in pri-
mary education, which has his hearty encourage
ment, and which he regards as having decisive
influence on the future of the republic. Refer
ring to the public debt. the President the
country that the government proposes to con-
tinue to meet all interest obligations abroad, and
refers to the settlement of the bank war as Civ
ing promise of better facilities for commerce.

Ex-AGENT M'GILLICUDDY.

Commissioner Atkins Hints Very Strongly at
Fraudulent Practices at Pine Ridge.
New YORK. Sept 16-The Posts Washington
special says Indian Commissioner Atkins has
given publicity to some startling figures in re-
gard to the Pine Ridge Indian agency, D. T.
There has been an extensive publication of let
ters and kilograms. more or less confidential,
with regard to this agency. Commissioner At
kins summarizes the facts as follows:
ION entering this Office I became satisfied that
stealing was going on at some of the Indian
agencies and that whore this was carried out
could only be done with the active connivance of
the clerks. / accordingly adopted general pol
icy that the clerks of Indian agents should no
selves, but should be designated by
this Office. One of the first to protest
against this new rule was Agent McGillcuddy,
of Pine Ridge. He had clerk named Brown,
who he insisted should be retained, and he
advanced all sorts Of untenabe arguments
about confusion of accounts and his (the agent's)
responsibility on his bond, all of which were
utter nonsense, because the clerk of an In
dian agent is not recognized in any financial
transaction whatever detailed for service in
place of Mr. Brown Mr. Clark, one of the best
and most trusted clerks in the whole depart
ment Mr. McGillicuddy refused to receive him.
and at last became so insubordinate that I was
compelled to ask his removal He was removed,
ana an OIncer OF the regular arny-Capt8ln
James NJ. Bell-was detailed to take his
place Soon after Captain Bell took charge,
he also was induced to protest against the re-
moval of Brown. I insisted on my point, and
eventually Brown was removed and Clark was
installed. Now see the result The number of
Indians reported at the agency during McGilli-
cuddy and Browns regime was Z, ia, and their
subsistence for the last fiscal year cost $249 S94
The agricultural implements, etc., supplied in
addition footed up further sum of sos, 40,
making a total Of $3l8, ,364, or at the rate
of little over $65 for every man, woman and
child. The total number of Indians that the
new Commissioner. with the aid of his new clerk.
has been able to find on the reservation, is only
4,S73, reduction of 2,241. Thus IN this
one agency alone, by the simple change of
agent and clerk, an annual saving of over
$l57, 900 has been effected. do not make any
charges against Mr.. McGillcuddy. He is out of
the service; but do say on this showing. that
there is an immense amount of the public money
which has gone to some bourne from which
there is no return"
Then. with great animation, the Commissioner
proceeded to deneunce the Indian Rights Asso-
citation and Mr.. Herbert Welsh, saying: II want
you to quota me as saying that ali attacks that
have been made upon me for the removal Of Nc

occasion it would be discussed in all It's bearings.
Mr.. Fairchild expressed much regret at the
probable retirement o. Mr.. Manning from the
Cabinet. which would be occasioned. if at all,
by his continued bad health.
