Tho Proposed Purchase of chihuahua and
SOnNrn from Mexico.

Tho Proposed Purchase of chihuahua and
sonora from Mexico.
In the first year of the Hayes admins
tration there was movement set afoot
to have tho United States purchase the
border States of chihuahua and Sonora
from Mexico for Sl0,000.OOO. This is
ono of tho bcst-kcpt secrets of any adj
ministration. Tho matter was begun by
London and Now York capitalists who
had bought or intended to buy mines or
ranches in those States and who wanted
them brought under tho protection OF
tho American flag before they went
farther and began to build railroads.
These gentlemen had boon to Mexico
and made all necessary arrangements
with General Diaz, who was then, as he
is now, tho dictator OF Mexico, for tho
sale Of these two States for $4,000, 900.
1t was stated that Diaz scemcd to be
really very glad TO got rid of those
troublesome border Statos; especially as
he was certain to secure tho railroad
communications which wcro promised as
soon as tho transfer could be completed
The capitalists came back from Mexico
to induce President Hayes TO recon-
mend to tho Congress negotiations look
ing to the proposed purchase. a num-
Der OF conferences wcrc held between
tho capitalists and Stanley Matthews,
who was then q Senator and ropresen tod
tho administration. Matthews was re-
served, as diplomatic agent should be;
nevertheless he gavo tho capitalists en-
coaragcmcnt to believe that President
| Hayes would, in his annual message,
carry out thoir wishes. But Mr.. Hayes
did not do SO. 1t is assorted that he
had actually written tho paragraph
which they desired in his message, be-
ing influenced largely by the argument
advanced by his friends that tho pro
| pose d purchase from Mexico would be a
brilliant stroke of policy, but at tho las
| he struck it out, with his usual pru
dence. 1t is said that he thought o.

Some Who Were Fond OF the Delicacics
of tho Table.
The Now Jersey Congressman in the
present House arc not very good eaters
or drinkers. During tho Fifticth Con-
gross, however, they were very good
livcrs indeed. In fact that State was
notorious in the IIouse-end of tho Capt.
toll for its bon-vivant congressman.
Judge Green was great lover Of fish and
game, and occasionally a dozen little
neck clans on tho half shell formed the
introduction to his noon-day lunch, with
a small bottle OF clarot or port at tho
finish. Judge Pidcocl1 was great cater
of raw oysters on the halfshcll but he
did not follow up his meals with any
stimulating drink. Congressman Mo
Adoo used to tickle his appetite. and does
continue to tickle his appetite, either
with quail on toast or bowl of tcrrapin
stow. William Walter Phelps was al
ways modest in his eating and, as no
was moderate in every thing, his lunch
usually consisted of strawberry short
cake and milk. with an orange or apple
at its conclusion. Judge Buchanan,
who is still i'll Congress-, and is tho larg-
est and heaviest member OF tho New
Jersey delegation, is the smallest eater
Of them all. He has always boon worry
fond of CLAIMS. especially Jersey CLAIMS,
and the headwaitcr declares that hQ,has
\ very great passion for clam-fritters and
chowder. lio is also very fond Of fruit
and makes several trips each day to the
apple stand kept by an old woman in
tho corridor. Congressman Lchlbach
usually takes his meals at tho Congress
ional hotel opposite the Capitol whore
he boards. Ilo usually drinks bottle
OF two Of palo beer with his lunch and
is also partial TO imported cheese. MOI
one of these distinguished caters ever
complained of dyspepsia; but there ara
two dyspeptic statesmen frog, the great
State in the present House OF Congress.
That is, Judging from thcir exhibitions
of temper at various times, thcrc must
he something tho matter with their
digestion.
