Mexico could face the manifestations OF
national sentiment that would certainly
attend any indication Of a disposition to
infringe on the provision oil the Mexican
institution which ~ithholds from tn"
government the power to seize Mexican
soil. Moreover did the subject promise
favorable negotiation, the petitions Ian
to set forth the proposition IN sufficient
detail"
Secretary Blaine added that the United
States government did not think even re-
motev of acquiring any portion OF MeNi-
can territory and that 1t would not support
any project having such an object in view
AS the United States had all the territory
they required for their progress and vel
tare and desired no more. The secre

States government could not prevent the
newspapers Of citizens OF the countr!

any other subject but that as REGARDED
the ACQUISITION Of Mexican territory by
the United States he felt certain the state

TO PREVENT ExTORTION.
In the Senate.


WASHINGTON, March l4.-The Blair bill
did not reach vote in the senate yester-
day. Finally it was arranged that on
Thursday of next week at o'clock Sena-
tor Blair shall have the floor to speak not
exceeding one hour, and then the hlI'
shall be under the five minute rule and
vote taken. Senator Plumb gave notice
Notwithstanding that he would on Mon
day move to take up some other till, he
effect OF which would be to displace the
educational bill.
Senator Plumb moved an amendment
to rule SO go as to provide that all votes
cast in executive session be made public
at the close OF such session. Referred.
The resolution regarding the president
pro TEN. was again taken up, and Senator
Turple moved to amend it by making 1t
read that the president pro tenn. shall hold
Office during all future absence OF the wee
president, until the senate otherwise or
ders. Agreed to, and the resolution was
adopted.
The educational bill was then taken up
and Senator George addressed the senate
in advocacy of it.
Senator Hoar asked Senator George
whether his plan embraced the protec
ton and security of the rights OF the
colored people Of the south to vote with
out interference, and their right to the
fair administration OF justice.
Senator George asserted that there Is
no distinction in the administration o
justice in Mississippi except that tb'
black man has, both in the jury box an'
on the bench, leniency accorded to hin
which is not accorded to white men.
After quite lengthy discussion on thi
point the senate went into executive ses
sion, and soon adjourned.

DISASTROUS FLOODS.
The Father of Waters on Rampage and
Many Towns Inundated.

Sr. LOUIS, March l4.-Rains continue
in many parts i'll the lower Mississippi
valley. All streams are rising rapidly
From lower Mississippi there are reports
of still rising waters, and While no more
breaks have occurred, there are constant
fears and expectations that the leveeS
will Weld to the pressure III spots and the
whole country be overtiowed.
Memphis. Meager details OF floods in
Arkansas have been received. At Bates
vile the White river rose thlrty-tWo 1eel
in twenty. .fo;ir hours and all the lower
norton of the town is flooded. The de-
s,ructon Of property in Black Rock will
he heavy. Water stands six feet deep III
hotels and business places. Orders to
remove all cars and the Iron Mountain
wards at Newport have been given No
trains have reached there since Tuesday.
A special from Little Rock says that news
! from towns in the vicinity state the water
| high in many streets aid reporta large
number of bridges to have been washed
away. No trains have reached there from
Fort Smith since Monday, and all road
traffic is badly delayed. The river Is
rising rapidly at Pine Bluif and there Is
danger of government dlkes being de-
strovcd. The situation between that
point and the Mississippi river is said to
be alarming.
New Orleans. - TIE river continues
rising steadily. At 3:3O yesterday 1t was
six inches above the hi n water mark ol
former years. A large part OF the city
below Canal street is entirely submerged
The water at the custom house Is over the
sidewalks and coming up rapidly OIL the
Decatur street side and is beginning tt
encroach on the sidewalk. The water II
flowing out Canal street, and the indlra
cations are that the entire business portol
OF the city will be ccsered with water be

running over the levee. All the loy

The War in Rates.

Practically the situation in railway cir
cles is to-day unchanged. No new re-
ductions have been made, and it looks
very much as though the next move would
be toward restoration of the old schedule,
rather than a deeper cut. There Is no
money in the knitting business, and the
war has now continued so long that the
roads begin to weary of it. Those who
wish to travel 1T cut rate have now the
opportunity; in a few days it may be too
late.
Twenty dollars to the Missouri river is
the cheapest travelling Santa Fean's ever
had offered them. This present wal ol
rates is peculiar in that it is the first that
ever affected all points in New Mexico
The fact that reduced rate is available
even at points where there is no compel
ing line seems queer, but this is explained
by the fact that the Colorado war ha'
made rates to Missouri river points iron
Denver, Pueblo and La Junta alike $8.40
so by adding the local rate to the rat'
from La Junta east New Mexicans &c
the benefit of the cut.

AFTER FOREIGN CAPITAL
A BIZ! to Allow Aliens to Invest In Miu-
ing Properties.

WASHINGTON, March IA few years
ago congress passed a law prohibiting
aliens from acquiring title to land on real
estate of any kind in the territories. This
law was passed ior the reason that organ
lied companies OF foreign capitalists had
taken immense tracts OF the public lands
on which were placed large herds oil
cattle, and in many instances had oh.
tanned large purchase tracts OF land
embracing thousands of acres. This la"
prevents aliens from investing in mines
| as well as lands, and to that extent ls oblec-
tionable to the mining men.
In all of the territories the governors
have recommended that the law be sc
amended as to permit aliens to invest
! in mines, and the house committee Oh
mines has agreed to report a bill repealint
so much of the law as prevents aliens
from investing in mines. A disposition
was shown in the committee to report s
bill to repeal the law entirely, and alleI
consideration it was thought that such .
measure could not be passed, and there
lore the committee confined Its recon-
mendation to amending the law i'll th
manner indicated.
{ The effect of this law was, et far ns tn
mining regions are concerned, to keel
out large amount of capital that Woul
otherwise have been invested there, AM
the demand from the mining communi
ties is very general for the amendmen
proposed by the committee.
