The Mexican Revolution a FizzIe.
| ST. LOUIS. July 23d.-A Matamoras CORE
| spondent of the Globe Democrat telegraphs
as follows concerning affairs in Tamaulipas
! The Federal troops are now in strong force
| up the country, and have captured four
more prisoners. Ii is thought the bulk of
| the revoiutionistS found the frontier too hot
| for them and have broken through the
! troops and retired to the mountains in the
interior of the State Tue movement was
not well planned, and up to the river
ranches, even those adverse to Cullare, be-
came convinced that it had no political i'm
| portance, and was only being used by the
! border bandits to plunder ranches and steal
| horses. They therefore organized strong
parties for their own defense and to aid the
| troops. 1t is said General Gomez severely
censured Colonel Cawazor for taking any
prisoners and for not treating as bandits
those captured, and, under the provisions
of the new law, Immediately executing
| them. The movement in the State of
Neuya Leon is similarly looked on.
The New Sodom.
OTTAWA, July 23d.-The social as well as
the political world here is agog over the
astounding revelations of immoral prac-
tees by Cabinet Ministers made by the
7
| honors in the Chambly district. 1t is not
alone rumor, but absolute fact, which can
be proven i'll Court, that there are men to-
day occupying high Government positions
who make 1t a rule to abuse their stations
in the way indicated. Men who should be
at their office or at home have been found
reveling in houses of ill-repute. 1t was
only few weeks ago that a woman en-
ployed in the Agricultural Department at
another department, because he accused
her of improper conduct with one of the
Cabinet officers. There was no mystery
| about the quarrel, which took place in the
corridor of the Parliament building before
several witnesses.
Starvation III Newfoundland and Lab
rador.
OTTAWA, July 23d.-Hon. A. w. Edell,
| from ST. Johns, n. F., is here to confer with
| the Government as to the means of reliev-
ing the destitute in Newfoundland and on
the Labrador coast. Over 500 families are
| starving in northern Newfoundland, while
in Labrador 600 families are in the first
state of destitution. One hundred and
twenty persons have died so far. The ther-
mometer on the 1st of July stood at zero.
From Cape Bauld, n. f., to Cape Mugford,
on the Labrador coast, there is a solid bar
rier of ice and no fishing has been possible.
Large numbers of starving fishermen from
Indian Harbor and Sandwich Bay have
Just arrived to implore food from the Gov
ernment. No crops can be grown. 1t is
probable that LOCO people will die within
another month if help is not afforded
them.

Eclipse stakes at Sandown Park was won
by Bendigo. The stakes were valued at
10000 sovereigns. Candlemas was second
and St. Gatien third. There were twelve
starters.
The accident to Minting, on the eve of
the Eclipse stakes, was sensational topic
at the clubs last night. 1t appears that
after having a good gallop Thursday, it
was discovered that Mintings near foreleg
had been strained. Sinister rumors were
circulated, but the certificate of the veteri-
nary surgeon dispelled those. His certifi-
cate reads " | hereby certify that | have
examined Minting by request of r. Vyner.
He has strained the plexor tendon on near
| foreleg and has inclpacitated himself from
running" Many thousand pounds are lost
on the horse, which, since tue 1000 guineas
| and the Grand Prix, has been the leading
| favori;e.
British Politics.
LONDON. July 23d.-Justin Mccarthy
cables to the Herald as follows: Gladstone
never looked better, of late years at least,
| than he looks now He is not the least
cast down, although unquestionably the
result of the elections was q surprise to
him. He has entirely got over the sur
prise, and is well satisfied with what he has
| done and full of eagerness for the general
conflict Advanced as he is in years, there
is yet good hope that he will live to lead
| the fight to q successful end.
