led through the dance-hall amid loud
cries of, "Thls is the way to treat an en-
voy OF the United States OF America

was taken by patty of Mexlcans TO a
house OF ill-fame, and there stripped OF
his coat, his official papers passed around
for inspection and then destroyed. The

had been drugged, and disclaimed all
knowledge of what had occurred on the
previous night. However, rumor has it
that on Saturday night he was out again

scandalized, and expresses its opinion
that Sedgwick should be recalled at once.

MINOR MATTERS.

Threats to Prosecute Indiana Democrats for
Violating the Ciyil-Service Law.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 18-It was stated at one
of tho departments to-day that none of the In
diana Republicans in the federal offices here
would go home to vote this fall. They would
gladly avail themselves of an opportunity to ex
ercise their franchise. but they are afraid to do
go. The Journal correspondent was told, in an
other quarter, however, that all Democrats from
the State would not only 60 home and vote, but
that many of them would be active workers for
their friends who are running for
office. 1t is currently reported that
Representatives Holman and Lowry are urging
their henchmen in Office to turn themselves loose
in their districts and get votes for their masters
A member of the Civil-service Commission is
quoted as saying, this evening. that there would
be some healthy cases of violation OF the civil
service law as soon as the elections were over in
Indiana. aud that some Democrats ought to be
made examples Of that the law could not be en-
forced so long as members of the predominant
party violated il with impunity.
