THE "WAR" IS OVER,
EDITOR CUTTING GOES FREE
by Virtue OF Decree of the Mexican
Courts, but the International Question
Remains the Same Cutting Demands
the Records and Is Accommodated.

DRSvRR, COL, August 2s,-Au FL Pasd
special says; At 1880 this morning Out
ting was taken before Judge Castendas
court, when the official minutes OF the
chihuahua Supreme. Court, which had or
rived this morning, were read to him,
which recited the decree releasing him
from further custody. The decision OF the
court Is based entirely upon the fact that
Medina had waived his right to a civil
suit for damages, the court holding that
this ended the proceedings In the State.
When released by the court Cutting re-
piled: "As long as am not further de-
tanned as prisoner accept my liberty,
and l request that Q copy Of the decree Of
the Supreme Court be given me for my
future use." s-l a..
This the court consented to do in Span.
ish. Judge Castenadas sent a copy ot the
decree to Mr., ProvinCio, who sent back
word that he In person would give Cutting
his liberty, accompanied with some " hole
some advice,
Cutting said to a reporter: "WeIl, l
can't understand what all this has to do
with my card Ia the FL Paso Herald, for
which solely was arrested, For four
weeks was incarCerated, and was being
tried at the time my government made q
demand for my immediate release"
It Is said on the other side Of the river
that the Mexican constitution prohibiting
the residence OF agitators and other dau-
gerous characters within the republic will
be enforced against Cutting.

THE IRIsH QUESTION.
Debate in Parllamept-Nssds of the Em-
erall Isle,

Debate in PaFlIamept-Nssds Of the Em
erald Isle, 4.
LONDON, August 2S,-In the Commons
Lord Harrington maintained that the
UnionisIa had not forfeited their claim "a
be Liberals because they were unable Ia
acceds opinions which until recently were
not held in any considerable section ol
the Liberal party. He denied that he
had ever spoken disrespecttully oi
Mr., Gladstone. He regretted the imputa,
tion that the Government had encouraged
Irish landlords by acting otherwise than
with moderation and iorbearance, II was
equally disadvaItsgeous that the minister
should refuse to use the powers OF the law
to enforce legal rights, He, Harrington,
approved inqulring into the material re-
sources Of Ireland,
Mr.. Morley upon rising was loudly
cheered by the Parnelltes. He said he
had never denied that the dissents had q
perfect right to discuss Mr., Gladstone's
proposals, for Lord Harrington was amply
justified in dlsavowing any disrespect to-
ward Mr., Gladatone, but the same could
not be said OF others. he had observed
little 10 the language OF his noble friend
10 encourage the hope that the difficulty
would soon end. He maintained that q
msjority OF Liberals with Mr., Gladstone
must wait and see II II were possible to
Justify their past actions. They should
certainly spare no pains to convert the
country.
An increase OF outrages always followed
an increase OF eyiCtions. 1t was fallaCy to
suppose that social order could be re-.
stored without dealing with the aGrarlan
question, The government proposed TO
stop outrages on the one hand and TO en-
courage evictions on theother. He doubted
ilsnygood would be accomplished by send
ingSir Redvers to Ireland, because thatgen
tleman would be unable to devise any new
means for the detection ol the crimes
which the public desired to conceal. The
League had done its utmost to prevent
crime, and It's failure was evidence Of how
deep rooted the disorder was, but Mr..
Parnell was right wheS he said that II
under Home Rule the outrages continued
the rest Of Ireland would soon put stop
10 them.
The proposalaot thelate government had
made the task ot restoring order easy, be.
cause it had given the Irish people a
measure OF patlencs which they never
had before. lie was disappointed
by the narrowness OF the pro.
posals which the government had
Swallowed forth. In conclusion, MIR. Nor
Icy said they never would be able to make
q permanent settlement until they had
given Ireland a statutory parliament and
an Irish executive. [Cheers
Mr., Pafnell adjourned the debate,
