The Mexican iona ribre.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, April 5.-It is pro-
posed IN reference to the zona libre, which
is the vital question of the day with bor-
der towns, chat a conference should take
place between delegates from San An
tonic, FL Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo and
Brownsville, all of which cities are equal
ly interested in the abolition of this I'M
just and discriminating institution. The
conference would meet at San Antonio,
as a central point, and it is thought they
might select one of their number to. go to
the City of Mexico and confer with the
merchants, SO as to rouse them to use all
their influence with the Mexican con
gress for the repeal of the measure. Vera
Cruz also suffers very much from this
iona lbre, which is denied to her but
granted to the northern frontier. 1t is
believed that a concerted movement such
as this would be a success.

Union Employees of all Departments to
Be Called Out.
CHICAGO, April g. The strike has
again settled down to the ssQ1' system,
and peace prevails. The general offices
and yards Of other roads lifting the boy
colt are keeping the Burlington people
busy taking care of the freight sent in,
but up the present time no blockade has
occurred.
The strikers hint that the warfare
against the s.Qn will go on with undated
vigor. In fact it is quietly given out
that the road will be tied up if all depart
ment employees have to quit. The brake
men are supposed to be next on the list
Of strikers, and if that does not bring the
company to terms, the section men and
all union employees will leave their posts.
Thursday morning 100 city police,
taken from different precincts, were
massed at the Desplaines Street station,
and at noon relieved the Pinkerton guard
that has been watching the Burlington's
property. From now on the stsblue coats''
will have full charge of the So road in
this city, and will continue to until the
road signifies that it no longer needs pro-
lection.

Investigation OF tho Charges Against
Postmaster Harrity.
PHILADELPHIA, April 5.--The congress
sionaf committee having In charge the
investigation Of the conduct of the post
office under Postmaster Harrity, who, it
has been charged, has not administered
the affairs in accordance with the rules
adopted under the civil service laws, ex-
amiped q number OF witnesses. Testi-
1nony was given that in violation of
the civil service rules an employe OF the
postofiice had held the window books at
the last two general elections, and cleo
ltioneered for the Democratic ticket. An
exposition sgas given of the manner in
which the postofics factions of the
Democratte party managed to affect
the results Of the primary cleo
lions in such q manne as to
bring about their wishes. An
other witness seemed to be primed
for q hard battle against the powers that
be, and which he claimed had unjustly
deprived him OF work after faithful and
conscientious service. He accused tho
p~ostoffice authorities with violating the
civil service law-by the employment and
retention of men who habitual1y neg
iected their work by being addicted to
liquor, with the elevation of sub-carriers
to regular carriers without having
filled tile necessary term of probationary
service, and to the exclusion of men who
were competent and older hands on the
grouad that they performed no political
services of yaiue and TINT they did
not subscribe to the campaign funds of
the Democratic party. He gave q list
OF appointees who had been mace
regular carriers after from a few days.
to Two months' services as subs, when
the law specifically requires that none
shall be given regular routes until six
months from the date of their appoint
ment. Gen. Huydekoper, ex-postmaster,
was examined. He regretted that he
had been summoned, as he had nothing
TO say. A. u. Watrous, city editor OF
the Press, then presented to the commit
tee q list of Democratic ofice-holders
who had taken part in the primaries in
the fall OF 1887, which had been carefully
gathered, and which had been printed
iii the Press. Other witnesses were ex-
amined, but the testimony was of a sim
