THE PROPOSITION TOGAIN MEX.
ICAN TERRITORY.
Mexican People Opposed to the Meas.
ure--And if Attempted il Will Result
i'll the Violation of Mexican Sentiment
tBy United Press. !

10y L nlteQ PreSS.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The COM
mittee on foreign relations reported to
the Senate to-day the petition of the
Fifteenth Legislative Assembly of Ari-
zona. asking the government to take
steps for the acquisition of such Mexican
land adjoining that Territory as NAV be
necessary to give to the Territory a deep
water harbor on the Gulf of Gala. The
committee recommended that the matter
be indefinitely postponed, and that ac-
ton was taken. The reason for this adj
verse decision is found in a letter Of
Secretary Bl2ine's. accompanying the
petition, in which he replies to verbal
inquiry Of the chairman of the commit
tee as to the possibility of complying
with the request of the Legislative AS
sembly.
The Secretary says that the acquisi-
ton of Mexican territory is diametri-
cally opposed to the spirit of the
Mexican Constitution, and the sentiment
of the Mexican people; that any legisla-
tive or executive effort to bring it about
would result in the inevitable overthrow
of the ruling in that country. He says
that the Urited States is bound in honor
not to attempt to obtain the cession OF
Mexican territory. He instances as 2
proof of the feeling that exists in Mexi-
co concerning this question, the attitude
of the Mexican government on this
proposition of certain persons to acquire
possession of portion of Lower Mexico
and he encloses notes of a conversation
which he~had with the Mexican minister
on the subject.

The laws of health are taught in the

practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily he done. II some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
it's significance; see the thin white coat
ing on the tongue and later, as the cold
developed, see the profnse watery expec-
toration and thin watery discharge from
the nose, not one of them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of a cold
were. The scholar should then be given
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely,
that all might see that even a severe cold
could be cured in one or two days, or at
least greatly mitigated, when properly
treated as soon as the first symptoms ap-
pear. This remedy is famous for its cures
of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
