MINOR MATTERS.
Merits Of the FL Paso Controversy as to the
International Boundary Line.

Merits Of the FL Paso Controversy as to the
International Boundary Line.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-It is learned OF the
Department of State that the conflict over the
curse of the Rio Grande river at Ell Paso, be-
tween the Inhabitants Of that place and the
Mexican jewellers at Paso del Norte on the op-
posite side Of the river, is not q new question.
but that the matter has been the subject of cor
respondencs between the governments Of Mex
leo and the United States for the past two years.
The first complaint came from the Mexicans,
aud was 10 the effect that the FL Paso Land and
Improvement Company had constructed works
along the American shore OF the river which
were resulting in heavy erosion Of the
Mexican bank. To prevent this the Mexicans
constructed q series OF wing dams on their
side, which projected slightly into the river and
arrested the process of erosion there. but they
transferred il, as is asserted by the Americans,
10 the Texas side. The Texan authorities COM
planned of this state of affairs, and. mean while.
me Mexicsns retaliated with a charge that the
El Paso water supply pipe had been projected
far enough into the river to affect naviga alton.
The matter is still under discussion between the
two governments. The treaty of 1884 forbids
the construction Of works on either bank that
may interfere with navigation or change the
course of the river, SO that the questions at
issue are largely those of facts to whether or
not the operations on either side have or will
actually result in interference with navigation
or erosion of the banks.

THEY MADE FRIENDS THERE BEFORE

And the Latter Arc Specializing About the
Harrisons' Return to Washington.
Washington Special.
General Harrison and his family will need no
introduction to Washington society. When
they move into the White House many old
friends will welcome them back to the capital
When the General was first elected to the Sem
ate he took part of the house at No lob Eff
sessions of Congress for five years. Mrs Harri-
son received her friends on Thursday, the SEN
atorial day, and her parlors were always
thronesd with pleasant people. During the last
year of the Senator's term, the family moved to
the Woodmont Flats on Iowa circle. They
were living here at the time of the marriage OF
the Generals son, Russell Harrison. to Miss
Saunders, daughter of ex-senator Saunders OF
Omaha, and the Young couple lived at the
Wooduont for time after their marriage, and
received many social attentions.
General Harrison and his family are Prssoy-
terians. and the members Of the various congre-
cations of that church in the city are already
specializing as to which one will be the State
church for four years. Ii is generally believed
that the New York-avenue Presbyterian Church
will be the selected, though Rev. DIR. Bart
lett, the pastor, is not building his hopes too
high He expected that President Cleveland
would select bis church, which stands at the
head Of the Presbyterian churches in the city IN
wealth and social importance; but the President
passed him by for DR.. Sutheriands. Dr. Bartlett
SAID this evening:
Eyes, General Harrison is Presbyterian and
he used to be a frequent attendant ss my
church, a part of the time renting pew there.
He never connected himself with any church in
Washington, for he always considered Indianap-
oils his home"
The President-elect frequently attended st.
Aloysius Catholic Church TO listen to the SER
mons of q jesuit father who had been his friend
at school, and for whom he always entertained
great friendship and admiration, notwithstand-
ing the wide differences IN their religious be-
lefs.
When Mrs. Harrison becomes the lady of the
White House she will probably have with her
most Of the time her only daughter, Mrs Nc
Zee, TO whom both she and the General are
particularly attached.

odd Election Bets at Elkhart.


ELKHART, Nov. 12-Elkhart had its full
share of peculiar and amusing bets on the late
election, Of which the following are some Lake
Shore conductor Lon McInsyre, wife and son,
will board at the Elkhart House six months
without liquidating therefor, though had Glove
land been elected they would have liquidated
without boarding. M. KssKel, business man,
will wheel E. o. Miller. a proprietor of the
Clifton House, in wheelbarrow, from this city
10 Bristol. a distance of nine miles. Conductor
Lloyd McWilliams was confident that Cleveland
would be ''called back so be will wheel con-
ductor George Huntley from the latter's resi-
dence to the formers and return, yell
ing at the top of his voice for
Harrison when Huntley tells him to do
30. Huntley has promised to keep tho whseler's
vocal organs occupied. To-day Henry Cracknell
wheeled Nellie McCoatley IN q weelbarrow the
full length Of st. Joe street, to the amusement
of a large gathering of Republicans. Yves
Bckel will stand on box car IN the Lake Shore
yard, in the presence Of crowd
specially advertised for, and blow
g fish horn two minutes. Willard
Hulrs wife compels him to visit Main street
during the busy part of the day and hurrah for
Harrisons These are some of the amusing wag-
ers that the Democrats are discharging, but IN
addition, their more financially inclined friends
have lost many thousands of dollars, one Rspub-
licsn alone winning sc. 600, another $1,000. and
on down to small bets.

Consul General Hosmer Reports that the
Panama Canal La Failure.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12-Colonel James r. Hosmer,
United States Consul general to Guatemala, is
on q sixty days leave of absence for the trans
action Of private business. AS for the Panama
canal, he said he had been there coupis OF
months before coming to the United States,
and anyone with common sense must
know that tine canal was failure. The
most striking fact in connection with
Its constr uctioD. displayed by every one who
has anyt hing to do with it, was the wastefulness
in its construction. He had seen new steam
engines lying in the open air rusting and half
ruined. The first thing which the managers
and superintendents Of the work did when they
went to the Isthmus was to build villas and
handsome residences for themselves, where they
lived in princelv style. while the laborers were
rottipg in the swamps. From time TO time, in
Guatemala. canal laborers applied for assistance
to try and get back TO New Orleans and other
Southern cities. They had been deceived as to
the wages paid and the food supplied by the
canal company

Illegal Consular Fees.

wAsHINGToN, Nov. 12-Complains has
been made to the Treasury Department of the
action of the United States consul at Manches-
ter, England. in charging double feees for au-
thenticating quadrupls invoices of merchandise
shipped TO the United States for entry under
the immediate transportation act The consul
states that such double fees are charged only
when the invoices indicate that the goods are to
be shipped to the United States for expectation
to q foreign country, and that his action Is in
accordance with practice OF long standing.
Secretary Fairchild, in a letter to the Secretary
OF State on the subject, says that he is not
aware OF any legal justification for such prac-
tice, ana that, on the contrary. it seems be in
direct violation of the statute prohibiting con-
suisr officers from making an additional charge
for authenticating ousdruple invoices He sug-
