AGREEMENT WITH MEXICO.
Reciprocal Crossing of the Boundary
Line in Pursuit of Hostile Indians.

By direction Of the Secretary Of War an
agreement providing for the reciprocal cross
ing Of the international boundary line by the
troops OF tie United States and the republic Of
Mexico in pursuit of hostile Indians has been
published for the information and government
OF all concerned.
1t is agreed that the regular federal troops
OF the two republics may reciprocally cross
the boundary line of the two countries when
they are in close pursuit of band of hostile
age Indians, upon certain conditions. 1t is I'M
derstood for the purpose of the agreement that
no Indian scouts of the government Of the
cross the boundary line. unless they go as
guides and trailers unarmed, and not exceed
ing in any case two scouts for each company or
each separate command.
The reciprocal crossing agreed upon shall
only occur IN the unpopulated or desert parts
of said boundary line. For the purpose of this
agreement the unpopulated or desert parts are
defined to be all those points which are at
least ten kilOmeters distant from any encamp-
ment or town Of either country
The only innovation over the existing agree
ment is that concerning the crossing of the
United States Indian scouts. The agreement
Is a provisional one, but it will remain in force
until both governments negotiate IL definite
one. 1t may be terminated by either govern
ment upon four months notice to the other to
that effect, but in no case shall it remain in
force for more than year from its date, July
g 1890.

A CHANCE FOR PATTIsON.
What Pennsylvania Men Say of Yester
days Nomination.

The nomination of Gov Pattisou as the
democratic candidate for governor of Penn
sylvania has caused considerable talk among
the democrats. 1t would be putting it too
strong, perhaps, to say that they ex-
pect that Pattison will defeat Delamater,
but they believe that the democrats will poll q
very much larger vote than usual and they are
not without hope. The Wallace men are dis.
appointed, OF course, as are also the
democrats who do not like Cleveland.
Some OF these say that Pattison
will lose some democratic votes, but the
general idea seems to be that his nomination
was good one and that he will get not only all
the democratic votes, but also many votes of
republicans who do not like the idea of the
nomination OF Delamater by Quay influence.
PATTIsoN AND CLEVELAND.
The nomination of Pattison is regarded as an
indication of the strength of MIR. Cleveland in
Pennsylvania, and as such it is received with
pleasure by the tariff reformers. who expect to
see Cleveland running their next candidate,
with tariff as the issue
The conditions surrounding the campaign
are very different from those which secured
Mr.. Patt;son's election in the year of the tidal
wave of 1892 There were then two republican
candidates in the field. Now the only thing
the democrats have to give them hope of sue
cess is that there will be popular protest
against Quays control of Pennsylvania politics.
MR.. vAUx's OPINION.
Mr.. Vaux said to STAR reporter today that
he regarded the nomination Of Mr.. Pattison
as an admirable one. He would not say that he
expected the democrats to elect their candi.
date, but he thought they had good fighting
chance.
The convention was harmonious; everything
II in inst no RIGHT De-,
he thought, besides getting the demo.
cratic vote, would draw more from the
other party than could any one else.
Pattison. he said, was an able and a good
man and had hardened and developed since
his term as governor. When elected before he
was young man of ability. but had had NO
broad experience in politics, but he has got

HE QUILTED HIS WIFE.
a Domestic Quarrel that May Have a
Fatal Result.

| JEALOUS WOMAN FOLLOWS HER HUSBAND AND
| HAS HER SKULL fRACruRED-aLrcK's ALL Ell
| THE SCENE OF PROBABLE MURpER-rHH A.
| sAfLANT UNDER ARREST
| Clicks alley, which isl narrow concreted
thoroughfare running north and south through
the square between 9Th and 7th and and s
| streets northwest, has a number of colored
residents who require the constant attention Of
the police, and seldom week passes that sew
eral arrests are not made there. Last night
the usual fight occurred in the alley and it is
hkeIy that one OF those engaged in it will die.
| CRIES OF MURDER"
1t was shortly after ii o'clock when the resi-
| dents Of the alley we're awakened by screams
OF murder" and several persons who rushed
| out to ascertain the trouble found n colored
| woman named Martha Washington lying on the
concrete pavement in Il pool of blood The
| apparently dying woman was picked up and
taken to her home in the alley, which is house
| No. 81 Several policemen responded to her
| cries of murder" and they had her conveyed
| to Froedmans Hospital where it was found
that her skull had been fractured.
The assault was committed by her husband,
William Washington, but he was not to be
| found last night.
| WASHINGTON ARRESTED.
The police were given description of him
and about noon today he was arrested by the
| officers of the eighth precinct and locked up to
await the result Of his wife's injuries.
Inquiry developed the fact that the fight was
the result Of Jealousy on the part of the wife.
Her maiden name was Martha Banks, and about
! a year ago she married Washington. They
never lived happily together, for the wife al
ways caused trouble by accusing William of be-
| ing too attentive to other females.
RENEWING THE OLD QUARREL.
Early last evening she removed the accusa-
ton and several times they quarreled. Mrs.
Banks, mother of the injured woman, took
hand in the domestic troubles of her son-in-
law and daughter and the former gave her a
parting kick before leaving the house. Martha
| followed her husband from the house and de-
clared her intention of remaining with him all
night to prevent him from visiting one of her
rivals. She told him that she intended to fol-
low him until either of them dropped, and she
fulfilled her promise.
FIGHTING AS THEY WENT.
William struck her several times while going
through the alley and over vacant lot. He
turned up 18th street and she still followed him.
When he reached the corner of S street he
turned back toward the alley. and Just as he
made another turn toward his house there was
a new outbreak and he threw brick at Martha
The brick struck her on the forehead Just over
the eye and inflicted the wound, which will
probably prove fatal.
THE woMAN's CONDITION.
Today the injured woman was no better.
The fracture Is not severe one but toward
noon she began vomiting which, the doctors
say, is a sign OF congestion of the brain.

Applicants Under the New Pension Bill

Assistant Secretary Bussey has decided that
the act of June q, 1890, known as the disabil-
ity pension act does not require that an appli-
cation or declaration for pension be executed
after June "a in order 10 be good in law. He
holds that the limitation OF time fixed in the
statute relates exclusively to the date OF filing
the application or declaration in the Pension
Office after the passage of the act and not to
the date of execution. This ruling reverses
the practice of the Pension Office under the
rules recently adopted governing the filing of
claims under this act. A number OF applica-
tlons were executed some months ago in antic-
Ipation OF the passage OF the act and these the
Commissioner of Pensions declined to receive
on the ground that they were executed prior to
the passage Of the act Such cases will, how
ever. now be received.

A New Star on the Flag Tomorrow.

In signing the bill admitting Idaho to the
sisterhood of states this morning the Presi-
dent has disappointed number Of people in
that state who had hoped that the
new state should take up her posi-
ton in line ON the Fourth Of July. The reason
for his action was an interesting one. The
President. 1t seems. found that the law ordained
that new star should be placed upon the
American flag for each new state on the
Fourth OF July succeeding its admission to the
Union. The President left II to Mr.. Dubois,
the Delegate from Idaho, 20 decide whether to
have the bill signed at once and get the star or
leave the star over until July 4, 1891. Mr..
Dubois chose the star now, and az
result the bill has been
signed and forty three stars are due upon the
flag tomorrow. The bill admitting Wyoming
to statehood has not yet reached the President
for mis- signature.
