BAYARD has, no doubt, Numbered in
demanding the release Of Cutting before
complying with the regulations in such
case formally agreed upon, but having
made his demand, and reiterated it, he
must stand by his guns. On complaint
of the American consul, Bayard should
have required Of the Mexican authorities
a full explanation Of the case, and fall
ing to find such explanation satisfactory
a demand for Cuttings release would
have been in order. That the demand
for the release came before the Mexican
government we're given an opportunity
for explanation, as was formally agreed
upon in all such cases, is merely demo-
cratic blunder. Having made 1t, and
repeated his demand, Bayard must see
that it is enforced.

MEXICO has proposed, and the United
States government has accepted, a plan
whereby the state department at Wash
ington may avoid the most serious con-
sequences of Its bluuder. This Is TO
send some able lawyer to Mexico, Who
as representative Of the United States
government shall confer with the attor-
ney general of Mexico on Cuttings case
and so some amicable solution be arrived
at. The cabinet has accepted the pro-
posal of Mexico, and will send an envoy.
In the meantime Cuttings case remains
in statue quo. Neither government
will be bound by the action OF its envoy.
The only result of the conference will
be to give the several governments more
correct information concerning the facts
and the interpretations Of law govern
ing the case. This proposition comes as
q perfect godsend to Bayard.

The Mental Agony OF the Applicants

WAsHINGTON, Feb. 28.--Nine old SOL
diers and "a young men, who never
smelled burnt powder except on July 4,
spread themselves over the desks in room
81 Of the Post Office building Saturday
morning, and spread ink and bad gram
mar over pages of fOolscap. There was
look of desperate "die-in-the-last-ditch"
resolve on the faces of the old soldiers
as they chewed the bad tasting red paint
OF the butts OF their pen-holders aud
tried to read the answers in the cut and
curl Of the head in front Of them. Five
hours was the limit OF time for each class,
but several OF the old fellows are such
slow writer's that five days would be little
enough time for them 10 answer all the
questions. There WAS one old chap whose
gray beard and hair placed nim some
where over 80 years, and from wh0l0 the
assertion that he fought INIT siege"
would not be surprising. He showed
very little. familiarity with the use
of the pen, which be manipulated
with that stiff.knuckle motion common
10 men Of his age. The older men knew,
or seemed TO know, enough about the
question to keep them busy, whereas the
Younger crowd made frequent reference
TO the tar-oh corners OF the room, as il
trying 10 coax some information from
the angles OF the eornlce, aud showed the
whites OF their eyes in their Efforts 10
evolve from their inner consciousness the

closed and halEn0ur journeys were made
through every map ever printed. For
four hours ahd quarter the morning
class gave themselves up 70 mental
labor, and il Was within quarter OF
O'Clock when the last would-be clerk
dropped his pen and handed up his
papers, lifting prayer that he might be
successful.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.--The House
Committee on Elections will vote In the
Hurd-Romeis contested election case to-
day. There is no doubt that all the Re-
publicans will vote for Romeis, and all the
Democrats Tor Hurd. In that case a fa-
vorable report for Hurd will be made.
some doubt has been expressed whether
Mr.. Turner, OF Georgia, the Chairman of
the Committee, will sustain MIR. Hurd.
However, IL is now believed that ne Will.
With respect to the facts OF the case it ia
perfectly manifest that the State aud ma
tionRl Republican campaign committees
had decided that Mr. Hurd should be
beaten, aud that the desired end was TO be
accomplished at whatever cost. In order
to carry out this there was man named
ElGins sent TO one OF the precincts OF the
city of Toledo, wnere the voters were all
for Hurd, To ascertain what would bring
about change fiom Hurd 10 Romeis, and
it WAS found out that mobey could make
the change. Elkins goes back and com
municates this fact TO the committees.
aud the committees informed him that
such things as We're necessary would be

MINOR MATTERS.

Rose Elizabeth's Flunkey Arouses the Dis
appreciation of the Jeffersonians.
Washington Special
The hard-sheil Democrats who do not like Mr.
Cleveland seem to think they can get even by
abusing his sister. Just now they profess to be
much scandalized because Miss Rose Elizabeth
paraded about the Capitol yesterday with fun
key in tan ,colored livery at her heels. The lady,
with Miss Van Vechter and Mrs Kinney came
to the Capitol and took seats in the executive
gallery of the Senate. They occupied the front
seats, reserved for the Presidents family. and
while the ladies were in the gallery they used
their opera glasses freely. Outside the door, in
the corridor. the colored footman of the execu-
tive carriage waited for the ladies. The appear
ance of the turnkey in the tan-colored livery of
the White House waiting in the corridor was bad
enough, the Jeffersonians thought, but what oc-
occurred astonished and disguised them more.
Miss Cleveland grew tired of the tame proceed
ings, for she had expected to hear the debate on
Senate, and so, about o'clock, just before the
Senate went into executive session, she got ND
and left with her friends and Senator Gibson, OF
Louisiana. Once outside the corridor Miss
Cleaveland and Senator Gibson took the lead and
the other two ladies followed, and the White
House footman. in livery carrying Miss Cleave-
lands fur cape, fell in behind the quartet and the
procession marched through the corridor of the
Senate wing, in through the rotunda, and thence
to the House anc back again. The Jeffersonians
saw all this and they stood around the sawdust
boxes and chewed and expectorated with great
viciousness.

Unique Law Proceeding a. Chicago.

CHICAGO. March 3.-Ferdinand Won Morder-
FIGHT. acting imperial consul in Chicago for the
German empire has brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before Judge Garrett, to set aside de-
cree of the County Court giving the custody of
Bertha HENRIETTA Lense, seven year-old subject
of King William. to Michael STREET.. The child
was duly adopted by STREET. in 1885. The Ger
man consul claims that the County Court had no
right to grant adoption papers, as the child was
a subject of the German empire. The child is
the daughter of a couple who met death together
a year ago. her father killing her mother and
then shooting himself. Some hundreds of appl-
cations to adopt the little one were made to the
County Court a belief existing among many peo-
pie that the child. through the circumstances
of her parents death, had become ''mascotte. /"
Mr.. STREET., blacksmith was the successful ap-
plicant Why the German consul now seeks to
possess the child the attorney in the case refuses
to say. It's understood that difference of re-
ligion between the child and the STREET. family is
one of the grounds
