LECTURER ASSAULTED.

Religious Resentment Follows . Lecture
At Axtel. Kan.-The Nsthodist Church
Damaged-Arrests Nade-The Military
Called For.
TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 1.-Startling and
sensational news was received yesterday
morning from the little town of Axtell,
in Marshall County, which was to the eff
feet that a real war had broken out
there between PrOtestants and Catho-
lies, and that q riot was expected to
occur.
1t appears that Protestant minister
and lecturer whose name and denomina-
ton are not reported. desired to give a
lecture at Axtell on last Saturday night
ION religious TOPICS" and that, after
considerable trouble, he secured the
First Methodist Church for his purpose.
He afterwards gave it out that his lee
ture would be devoted to exposing GER
tain things connected with Catholicism,
and by this means aroused public curl
osity and resentment on the part of the
Catholics.
At the appointed time he made his ap-
pearance in the edifice and began his lee
ture. Before he had proceeded far he
was interrupted by the arrival of a
crowd determined to stop him. The
Catholics had organized and went to
the church in a body to see that their
religion was not insulted. They assault
ed the lecturer, it is claimed, threw him
and four of his auditors out Of the win
dows, not stopping to open the windows,
and broke up the meeting. There were
several fights inside and s0utside the
church and considerable blood was
spilled, but nobody was dangerously
hurt.
The next day four Of the ringleaders
in the riot were arrested and taken to
the county Jail at Marysville, where, it
is understood, they still are.
The town was all excitement, bust
ness was suspended and the mayor
called for the assistance of the militia.

Views Of Minister Rysn-fhs ImportsneS

Republic.

views Of Minister Ryan-Ths Importano0
ef Reciprocity with Our Nelghborine
Republic.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-In an inter-
view ON Mexican import taxes, Hon.
Thomas Ryan, Minister of the United
States to Mexico, says: "a decree has
been issued to take effect the first of
the month, removing livestock and
fresh meats from the free list and i'm
posing a heavy tariff. The tariff on
fresh meats will be five cents a pound,
which is practically prohibitory. The
tariff on livestock is scarcely less.
There are no statistics showing the
value of exports from the United States
into Mexico, but their volume is large
and, to the best Of my judgment, the
balance of trade has been several mil
lions in our favor. The result Of NOV
ing livestock and fresh meats from the
free list will be injurious to the Mexi-
can railroads. 1t is to be regretted that
no figures are available to show our
Mexican exports. The law provides
merely for collating figures of maritime
commerce and is Anticipated. 1t should
be amended by Congress at an early
day. Mexico is wonderful coun-
try, wonderful in people, in
climate, in resources and posi-
bilities. The United States pays out
500, 0OO, 900 in cash annually for pro-
ducts which Mexico could furnish US
and would take in exchange the pro-
ducts Of our manufactures and enter
prises. / believe that even limited
measure Of reciprocity would, within
five years, develop Mexican commerce
of 500, 600 annually. 1t is to be hoped
that both Nations will awake to the op-
portunities and advantages of closer re-
lations. Mexico wants machinery, ag-
ricultural implements, clothes, tools,
meats, livestock, every thing we can
furnish her, in fact. The Mexicans are
a wealthy people. What they want
they have. The country raises a rev.
enue of $50. OOO, 900. OF this $40, ZOO, 900
is by tariff on imports. Yet she would
be willing to sacrifice part of this, I'M
doubtedly, to secure reciprocal relations
with the United States"
