ENGLISH PREDOMlNBNCB
In Mcxico-Acquisitions There Awakening
Interest In European Circles.

In neutrality-suspicious. There Awakening
Interest In European Circles.
LONDON, May 29.-If the people of
the United States see nothing to alarm
them in the increasing predominance of
England in Mexico, her acquisitions
there have not failed to awaken attcn-
ton in Europe. During the past twenty
years the Germans have patiently de-
velOped trade in the land of the Aztec
which has proved remunerative in the
highest degree. Those OF her merchants
who have succumbed TO the climate
have been replaced by other fearless
seekers after wealth, and their shrewd
ness has been repaid by n virtual monop-
oily OF many kinds Of business. They
have also sought to make their gains the
means OF extending the influence of
Germany there. They see the United
States is indifferent TO the extension OF
their boundaries beyond the Rio Grande,
and they have not failed to acquaint the
home government with the splendid re-
sources OF Mexico. The fertile and
wealthy country, capable of such de-
velopment, has precisely what Germany
lacks and wishes beyond all things TO
obtain.
II European jealousy forbids the
grasping OF Holland with its fine ports
and priceless colonies, what n compensa-
ton Mexico would be. But German
dreams OF dominion there have been
rudely disturbed by the grasp which
England has placed upon the railway
system OF the Southern Republic, The
National is in the possession Of English
capitalists, the Central will soon be un-
der their control, and negotiations are
pending which will put the transporta-
ton facilities OF the entire country in
their hands. The draining Of the valley
of Mexico, an enormous enterprise,
necessary for the safety Of the capital, is
being undertaken by an English COM
pany, and an American engineer, who
vainly sought to obtain capital TO prose-
cute the work, says rather bitterly that
the entire country will soon be mortgag-
ed to England. The Germans view the
situation with undisgusted resentment.
Their influence is Overshadowed, and
their hopes OF dominance have flown,
and in their disappointment they attrib-
ute to England schemes for the future
OF which she in all probability does not
| dream,

In conclusion Mr.. Frye said: A year
ago in the United States Senate and

for the rights OF American citizens; we
were united TO man. Nobody dreamed
OF raising political issue in this mat
ter; nobody talked rs party man in re.

The President OF the United States TAX

practically taking the Canadian side OF
the controversy; the great Democratic
party OF the nation arranged on the side
OF Canada, and against the American
fisherman. say toyOu, Mr.. President,
a most grievous wrong has been wrought
by this treaty; | say that these steps
which have been taken can never be re-
tracted; that in the long future we will
never be permitted to stand where we
stood only year ago, when we claimed
here in the Senate that we would defend
the rights of American fishermen against
Great Britain or any other power on
earth. We have surrendered that right.
We have yielded it. We have said
through the President of the United
States, in solemn language, that the
treaty is Just and fair, and is all that
could be demanded by us; and hereafter
and forever our mouths are closed.
Again declare that this treaty was u
dishoDorable, hnmiliating and cowardly

Mr.. Gray obtained the floor to make a
speech upon the treaty, but its further
consideration was ION motion OF MIR.

tors desired to attend the st. Louis con-
vention) postponed till Monday, June II.
The motion TO postpone till December
next was entered by Mr.. Morgan, and is
now pending.
Motions to publish the proceedings in
session (past and future) in
the congressional reports were also made
and agreed to.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 29.-The en-.

Arkansas, is in frenzy of excitement
over horrible tragedy, which occurred
one mile from Elmore, and four from
osceola, the county seat, Sunday morn.
ing. Officers OF the steamer Rosa Lee,
which arrived this afternoon, brought
particulars of the affair Saturday night,
at the house OF colored man named
King, there was a dance. Jack
Matthews, Tom Field, George Curtis,
young white farmers, went to Kings
house.
About one o'clock by their own ad-
mission they went to the cottage of Mrs.
Stocks Allen, q widow lady living near
by with her two children, u boy i2 years
old and daughter OF 10. They could
not get in and left.
About 8 o'clock the negro man, John
King, was awakened by the little girl,
who called out that her morher was
dead. Kings wife rushed over and
found Mrs. Allen lying with her skull
horribly crushed in and the boy also
similarly injured and dying. She at
once ran for doctor and alarmed
the ncighborhood. The little girl
had returned to the cottage. When the
physician arrived she was found to be
also fatally injured. Her breast was
mashed In, and from her crushed skull
the brain protruded. From the position
in which Mrs. Allen was found, it was
evident also that she had been ravished
after death. Excitement became intense,
and suspicion pointed to the three Write
men and John King and they were ar
rested. Matthews was taken before the
little girl and she stated it was he who
struck her. The investigation at the
Court House ut Osceola is daily
attended by hundreds OF people.
Work in the county is practically
suspended. Alynchingiscertain. With
difficulty the conservative people have
succeeded in holding such course off
till full examination is had. 1t is
thought the four men will be swung off
before daylight tomorrow.

devotional exercises, after which the
question OF changing the name of the
Freedman's Aid Society by adding to il
the Southern Educational Society, was
taken up and caused u heated discussion
The debate was carried on by DR.. Smart
and DR.. Walsh, OF Kentucky. The INA
jority report of the Committee on Freed.

bate, advocated the changing of the
name.
The minority report opposed the
change, on the ground that Freedman's
Aid meant white and black MS originally
intended, while the Southern Educa'
tiOnal" meant that the whites were to be
cared for at the expense OF the black
The opposition claimed that discrimina
ton had already been made in favor oi

establishment OF Universities ut Chatta

that such favOrs ought not to be tolera'

RUSSIA'S NEW RAILROAD
Into the Heart of Asia-Its Strategic ant
Commercial Importance.

Into the Heart of Asin-Its Strategic and
Commercial Importance.
LONDON, May 29.-The great Russian
railway into the heart OF Asia is at last
fact, and you can now go from London
almost to the boundary line of the
Chinese Empire in twelve days. The
immense strategic and commercial i'm
portanee Of this event is not indicated at
all by anything visible in the great Lon.
don dailies. Each contained small
press dispatch announcing the opening
OF the road, but no special article or
editorial comment appeared in any OF
them.
When one remembers the great ex-
citement that once clustered around
Merv, through which the road passes,
and now over Herat, and the fact the
new road places the whole otthe Russian
army only five days distant from North
ern India and much nearer to Afghanis-
tan, one is inclined to believe that Eng
lands fits OF fear OF Russian encroach-
ments are OF an intermittent and epilep-
tic character.
From st. Petersburg the new line runs
through Moscow, Rostov and Viadikau-
kas. Here the route is barred by the
Caucasus range, over which the line is
not completed, and you have to travel
eighteen hours over pass 5000 feet
high-2,0O0 feet higher than the Saint
Gothard and Simploo. With scenery
twice as wild as that OF Switzerland, the
Caucasus will be the great summer re-
sort OF the future. On the other side
you take steamer at Baku, cross the
Caspian Sea to where the new tide be-
gins, and go thousand miles further
through Kezil Arvat, Grok Tepe, Aska-
bad, Merv and Bokhara, to Samarcand.
The road is well built and thoroughly
equipped.
The commercial importance Of the
new route is very great. The rich valley
of the 0xus, which is the Mississippi OF
Central Asia, now opened up, had no
European outlet before save by caravan.
The resources Of this territory are Of
all kinds, mineral and agricultural, and
all are undeveloped. The effect on civ
ilization OF the new line can better be
imagined than described, considering
the fact that all great mechanical adj
vances and the highest civilization Of
the nineteenth century will now be
carried into barbaric Asia. The effect
on school Biographies is not to be even
surmised.
