BRAGG BANQUETED.
He Surprises the Mexican Politi-
clans by His Candid Utter

anceS.
CITY OF MEXIco, March GA BAN
Quet in honor of Gen. Bragg, the new
United States minister, was given yes
terday by American residents. Lead
ing officials of the Mexican government
and number of the press were present.
Consul General More presided. Gen.
Bragg made significant speech, which
was we'll received. He said that the
United States wanted no more territory
and only desired for Mexico a continual
ton of its liberal government. lie
stated that the United States would be
opposed to any attempt to overthrow
free institutions in Mexico, and init
mated that so long as liberalism was
predominant in the Mexican admins
tratlOn, only the most cordial good will
would be shown this country, but that
the people of the United States, enjoy
ing free institutions and their resultant
blessings, would not look favOrably on
reactionary governments here. He
hoped to see the commercial relations of
the two countries grow closer and closer,
and good feeling continue to exist be-
tween the nations, which must forever
be neighbors. The speech is regarded
10 lHulcdllHS IHe sympathy Ol IreSluenQ
CleVeland'S administration with the
present liberal administration here. and
as being plain indication that the re-
dictionary party, which is thought to
favor mOnarchial form of government,
will never be permitted to carry its
designs into execution. The speech
made profound impression and is a
topic of discussion in political circles.
No recent utterance of the United States
representatives here has attracted such
widespread attention. and liberal pOliti-
clans say that Gen. Bragg's discourse
has certainly the merit of candOr.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, March pa
train of the New Haven Il Northamp-
ton road Tuesday night ran into land
slide near Conway junction. Engineer
Burke saw small storm coming down
the face of a high cut, and supposed it
was water. He was on the landslide
before he was aware of the situation.
He stopped the train, when large
body of earth slid down, struck the train
and carried it from the track to the very
edge of the embankment, which is
eighty feet high. The accident occurred
only mile and half from the scene
of the Bardwell disaster, and to the
very train that first brought the news
of the wreck to the telegraph station.
1t was also the same night Of the week,

plelf the floating ice has destroyed many
