rope. 1t was in the sale OF 5000 900
acres OF land in the state of Tamaulipas,
Mexico, together with 100000 head Of
cattle belonging to the property, which

new MEXICAN WANTS.
Statehood is Expected Soon by the Peo-
ple-Prospects of Success.

W. G. Hazledine, OF Albuquerque, n.
NJ, general attorney of the Atlantic &
Pacific road, is considerably interested in
the political affairs of New Mexico, and
has recently returned from Washington,
where he spent several weeks looking
after legislation which the people of New
Mexico want very much. The two prin-
cipal questions which engaged his atten-
ton were the bill for the creation of
land court and the admission of the terri
tory as state.
"a land court" said Mr.. Hazledine,
"is badly needed to settle these titles, SO
many of which are in dispute. The COM
plications arise largely from the ambiguity
of the Mexican land grants on which
great many titles rest. Under the Mex
ican rule some governor would say to
John Smith: You have done pretty well,
and now I'll give you all the land west of
those mountains as far west as the bed
of that river and north to the top
of those other hills and the
grant would read something after
that fashion. Well, to-day it is hard to
determine where the bed of that river
wass or what was meant by the west of
certain hills. Many grants were made
of certain amount of water frontage
along the Rio Grande and running back
say to the summit of the hills or noun
tains. Later somebody would come along
and take up land and say the top Of
these mesas ls your boundary Some
times claims under these old grants were
thus narrow strips miles long, and /
know of one claim that was fifty feet
wide along the river and thirty miles
long. Hence We need court to deter
mine just what these grants were.
GAS to the admission Of New Mexico,
l think the prospects very good. A con-
stitution was adopted by the constitu-
tional convention in September last, and
if it be ratified at the general election
this fall, and Republican delegate and
Legislature elected, | think that the ter
ritory will undoubtedly be admitted dur
ing the next session OF congress. A spe-
cial meeting OF the constitutional con-
vention has been called for Aug
ust Is to pass an ordinance pro-
viding for the election of state
officers to be voted for this fall also, but l
strongly advise against the step, and SEN
ators and representatives in Washington
have advised that it should not be done.
l think that the chances of admission will
be increased if the constitution be ratified
by the people and Republican delegate
and legislature elected this fall, and the
election of state ticket left until after ad-
eastern sentiment on the admission of
New Mexico has changed very much.

erican Corn Abroad.

PARIS, July 6.-The senate has shown
its hand plainly in regari to the Ameri-
can questions. After long debate it
finally voted for duty OF three francs on
corn and supplemented this by imposing
a duty of six francs on corn meal. Dur
ing the closing debate it was directly
avowed that duty on corn was to be
considered as continuance only
of the nine year cid policy to-
ward American pork. Comte Foucher
de Carrel declared that the importation of
American pork was only another mode of
importing American corn and French
farmers could not maintain themselves
against it. The prohibition of pork was
right and ought to be maintained and the
duty on corn should also be made pro-
hibitive.
M. INLAND called attention 10 the fact
that American pork is only prohibited on
the ground of its alleged unhealthfnlness.
lie declared that this is merely pretext.

IDAHO'S POSITION,
No Representative Now in the House
Dubois to Speak Next Week.

WASHINGTON, July With the ap-
proyal OF the Idaho bill, Idaho ceases to
have a representative in congress, and
she will not have representative there
until an election is held. In the mean
time Delegate Dubois has made an en-
gagement to address the house next Tues
day in support of the bill for the relief of
the C1ur d'Alene Indians.
Mr.. Dubois said that he would rise in
the house on Tuesday and the speaker
had agreed to recognize him. A single
objection will throw out Mr.. Dubois s
speech, but he feels very confident that
objections will not be raised.
If Mr.. Dubois is permitted to speak on
Tuesday it will be the first time in the
history of congress that private citizen
has addressed either house in legisla-
tive session.

erning countries on the western hemis-
phere. He wishes to teach the European
dependencies in the sugar growing re-
glons that it will no longer pay to remain
tied to the apron-strings Of any foreign
power. He desires to put premium on
independence by giving the independent
countries great advantage in the sugar
markets here. Sugar, under Blane's
scheme, is to be free only in virtue of re-
clprocity treaties, and such treaties are to
be entered into only with independent
American nations,

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Adair Wilson is
very hopeful that the house will take up
the Ute removal bill before many days.
He says the speaker has promised Mr..
Perkins, chairman Of the Indian commit
tee, to give him day soon for the con-
sideration of measures reported from his
committee, and if the speaker does this
MIR. Wilson thinks the Ute bill will be
taken up and passed. 1t is, however,
quite possible that there will be some op-
position to the bill on account of the
large appropriation which it carries. The
Republican leaders are opposed to any
further large appropriations at this ses-

MAKING PROGRESS.
The silver Conferees Getting Together
Despite Their Efforts Not TO.

WAsHINGT0N, July The Republican
members Of the conference committee on
the silver bill were in session Saturday.
1t was the intention to hold regular CON
ference, but Representative Bland, of the
house conferees, and Senator Harris, of
the senate conferees, were absent.
The principal topic discussed, it is un-
derstood, was in regard to the amount OF
silver to be purchased monthly-whether
1t shall be 100000 ounces or $4,000, 900
worth.
The proposition to strike out the bull
lion redemption feature was also sub
ject OF some discussion.
Senator Jones, OF the conference com.
mlttee on the silver bill, says the prin-
cipal difficulty now is to adjust the amount
OF silver to be purchased. The silver
men want four and half million ounces
a month, while others want the amount
fixed at as many dollars worth. He
says the bullion redemption clause will
be knocked out.

Trade Review,

New YORK, July 7.-Monetary appre-
tensions excited by reports Of gold has
been allayed by heavy disbursements in
dividends and interests, said to be the
largest ever made at this season, and ex-
elusive government payments estimated at
$74, 900, 900 against $40, 100000. Foreign
advices and rates of exchange do not at
present indicate any danger of a serious
drain from abroad and interior money
markets are all firmly supplied at usual
rates. The volume of trade shown by the
clearing house returns at all cities outside
OF New York are larger than last week,
for the month OF June and IS per cent
larger for the half year. The last week
or two have witnessed smaller increase,
the extreme wet weather having depressed
trade at many western points, while at
the east the hesitation on account of
pending legislation is now noticeable.

One More Report About Mexico.

WASHINGTON, July 7. Minister Ro-
nero has denied the report said to have
come from Sonora, Mexico, to the effect
that if the duty on cattle proposed in the
tariff bill now pending in congress should
be adopted the thousands of head of cat
tie which have strayed into Mexico from
this side OF the line would lie seized and
sold by the Mexican authorities, who
have already given notice OF the confisca-
ton and sale of any cattle found here
after on Mexican territory. Mr.. Romero
informed his government of this report,
and received a telegram in reply saying
that there was no truth in it.

Doo,,I;,v - Sarsaparilla. 1t strengthens
TSCuIIdi and builds up the system,
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
Hoods Sarsaparilla pecu- r. E+aoIf
lar curative powers. No ~ ttoCit
other medicine has such record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hoods Sarsaparila do not be induced to
take any other instead. 1t Is Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.

Blaine's Position.

New YORK, July IA special from
Washington says: Considerable light
has been shed during the past few days
upon Mr.. Blaine's attitude toward the
proposal to admit raw sugar below 13,
Dutch standard, into this country free OF
duty. 1t seems that his great contention
is to benefit the independent republics of
this continent exclusively and not the Eu-
ropean West India colonies from which
we now import the bulk of our sugars.
He objects to placing sugar on the free
list in the tariff bill because Cuba,
Porto Rico and the British islands near
by would derive their chief benefit from
such legislation.
Mr.. Blaines scheme is purely Ameri.
can and Republican. He wants to tie
to the United States the other self-gov-

night Yves. The Chatham Artillery took
supper last night, and afterward adjourned
to the fair room, where the smiling young

additional donations yesterday, among
which was a handsome pyramid cake, a
gift of the officers of the steamship ITALIA
haSsee. Mrs. w. j. Watson is assisting at
this table and rendering valuable aid. The
two Capts. Marmelstein are also giving
valuable service.
Alderman j. J. McDonough is leading in
the race at the table for the gold-headed
cane to be voted to the most popular alder
man, and the Oglethorpe Light INFANTRY is
ahead in the race for the portraits. At the
"veterans~ last night a gun was disposed of
to j. j. Goodwin aud whisk broom and
holder to Mr.. Whitehead.
One of the most attractive articles at the
bazaar last nigot was a magnificent pyramid
cake of boned turkey and chicken, which
was sent by the officers of the steamship
Kansas City, with a request that it he
placed before Capt. Wheaton for the Chat
hams supper. It was one of the neatest
things of its kind ever invented, and drew
forth many compliments from those who
saw it.
At the "Big Four" table several articles
were disposed of, and several new ones were
added, among which was an elegant cut
glass dish and three.fne cakes. Mr.. NJ
Buckwald, is rendering valuable aid to this

Joe Simmons created quite an excite

Broad street yesterday morning shortly

and knocked down tire colored men who
were standing at the bar talk

head and demanded 81 or his life. Rather
than lose his life Whiteman complied with
the Negroes request and handed over the
dollar.
Ia the meantime, one of the men who had
been knocked down went outside and found
Officer Sneehan and got him to arrest Sim
mons. The officer had considerable trouble
in getting Simmons to the barracks, and
had to use his club pretty freely.
In the police court yesterday morning
Mayor Schwarz sentenced Simmons to sixty

resisting an officer, and ordered that on the
