A REVOLUTIONARY HOAX
EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF TIE
TROUBLE ON THE RIO GRANDE.
The Alleged Invasion of Mexico by Band
of Raiders-Rumors of Battle on
Mexican Soil Unsavory Records of
Outlaws Garcia and Eandoval.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-THE Times
Democrats Laredo, Texas, correspond
ent telegraphs: Last night, while the
plaza of this city and Neuva Laredo
were crowded with people, unknown
parties distributed a dodger printed in
Spanish, called A Plan OF Revolution.
1t set forth that Mexico was in the
hands of its second Santa Ana, refer
ring to President Diaz, and that all lib
erty-loving people should join in revo-
luton, and signed by Ruiz Sandoval, of
border fame, as commander-in-ch of
the army. Sandoval is the man who
crossed the river near here some months
ago with seven men, and was
scooped in by the civil author
tiles, assisted by United States
troops, and was acquitted for lack of ev-
idence as to his motives. Catalina Gar
cia is also the possessor of an unsavory
reputation, and his record here is any
thing but enviable. Some years ago he
became mixed up in politics here, and
finally had to leave the country. He
has since had several squabbles, once
being shot in Rio Grande City over an
election quarrel. He secretly published
a small paper on a ranch in Neuces
county, and is wanted here for libel on
account of articles published in that pa
per. Last night after the circular was dis
tributed "a man named Renzonia, foreman
of Garcia's paper. was arrested on the
plaza. He is the defendant in a libel
suit. 1t is the general opinion here
that the whole thing is hoax, and the
reports that Garcia crossed the river
with Fl 'ty men are discredited by the
people who know him and believe him
a coward. 1t is known that Sandoval is
not with him, but is in Galveston or
New Orleans.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 17.-Captain
Randall, OF Fort Ringgold, wired Gen
eral Stanley concerning the men who
invaded Mexico to foment revolution,
that scout sent yesterday has returned
and reports that he went to the Ge-
nella ranch, Is miles from Ft. Ringgold,
and found that party OF sixty men had
crossed the Rio Grande on the night OF
the 18th. They came from Paleto Ban-
CO, eighty miles north OF the crossing.
Many of them were Mexicans from Ca
margo, and were commanded by G. A.
Garcia, an editor. A large body OF Mex
lean troops from San Miguel engaged
them yesterday at Mogre, and are now
in pursuit. There is report OF more
trouble by the revolutionists. Their
leader, Garcia, was formerly editor of a
Mexican paper at San Antonio, and
lately at Camsrgo. He is under indict-
ment for criminally libeling the governor
of Leon.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-THE Picay-
une's Brownsville, Tex. special says: The
best information here shows that one
hundred men crossed the river near
Camargo. They cut the telegraph wires,
but communication was restored today.
The revolutionists have had fight
with squad of armed customs guards,
near San Miguel, and lost some of their
horses. No one was hurt as far as
known. General Cortina, the 'erstwhile
terror of this neighborhood, was arrested
at Matamoras today. Cause not stated.

LOTTERIES AND LAW.
SEVERAL INTERESTING CASES IN
THE SUPREME COURT.
Attorney-G General Miller Prepares His
Briefs to Show Why Newspapers Con-
tanning Lottery Advertisements Can
Be Exclu ded from the Mails.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE case of
the United States against John L. Ra-
pier, and two cases of the United States
We. George w. Dupre, will come up for
argument at the October term of the
United States supreme court. Each
of these cases is an application
for the discharge, by a writ
of habeas corpus, from arrest for alleged
violation Of the anti-lottery legislation
of the United States, in mailing lottery
advertisements. Judgment was against
the defendants, and the cases were ap-
pealed to the supreme court. Attorney
General Miller has prepared brief,
which he will submit on behalf of the
government.
eff it can be demonstrated,
says the brief, 'that to prev
upon ones fellowmen by means of lot
terry is a fundamental human right, the
decalogue and sermon on the mount,
not to mention the declaration of indie
pendence, ought to be rewritten at
once"
81 maintain" continues the attorney
general, without fear of successful
contradiction, that whatever acts
or enterprises congress has the
power to make criminal in
the District of Columbia or the terri
tories, it may refuse directly or indi-
rectly to aid, encourage or abet in any
state without violating any obligation,
either to citizen or state. Any state
may make the practices of this lottery
company, or even the possession Of its
tickets within its borders with intent to
sell, crime"
In the exercise of this power OF legis-
lation in regard to the mails, as in the
exercise OF many of its other legislative
powers, the attorney general holds con-
gress has very broad discretion as to
whether it shall at all, and if so, when
and to what extent, for what purpose it
shall act.
The attorney general then argued to
show that congress had undoubtedly the
right to legislate for the common good,
and says: Suppose, as is now an
early probability, a postal telegraph
should be established, is it true
that the United States government
would be under obligation to transmit
over its telegraph lines messages in
reference to all business or practices
not indictable at common law,
or not known to the law books?
Could it not refuse to transmit tele-
grams boldly relating to gambling
transactions, trading upon margins in
wheat or stocks or negotiating the pur-
chase and sale of lottery tickets, or in
regard to any other business which in
the exercise of sound discretion con-
gress might declare to be contra bonor
mores?
Upon the theory of the argument of
the petitioners that publishers of news
papers have an absolute right to car
riage in the mails, and that any
discrimination against them is
abridging the freedom OF the
press, all postal regulations by
which letters are given precedence
over newspapers in the mails, even in
the time Of carriage and distribution,
are invalid. This is certainly discrim-
ination against the newspapers, and
might be held to be abridging the free
dom of the nress -

This is the first discovery OF that race

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Jones Bolts the

BNGHAMPToN, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Lieu-
tenant-Governor Jones today prepared a
statement to the effect that not only
have the interests of the people been
sacrificed, but that the existence of the
Democratic party has been jeopardized.
Continued subservience, SAYS he, but
makes the condition too degrading to be
quietly borne by American citizens.
There is but one way to dislodge these
usurpers. Temporary defeat of the
party will be harmless, compared with
the effects of their control. For the
welfare of the state in the interest OF
the Democratic party, my duty is to op-
pose the election of the nominees of the
Saratoga convention, to such an extent
as may be within my power, and in
such manner as may seem best to ac-
complish that process.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 1.-THE pros
pective settlers of the new Indian lands
are awaiting with much impatience the
Presidents proclamation permitting
them to enter and claim their home
steads. Most of the boomers have al
ready gone as far as the border, and need
only word from Washington to send
them over the line. On the border
fully 5000 people are gathered. One
notable fact concerning the people who
intend to settle on the new land, is that
large numbers of them, nearly half of
them it is estimated, are negroes. They
have come principally from the south,
attracted by the advertisements of two
colonization colonies, one headed by the
noted negro Langston, and the other by
ex-Auditor McCabe, colored, OF Kansas.

Difference to the best critical opinion has
been very cleverly modified. so that the

the dramatic Importance the play calls for
and to which it is justly entitled. There
fore notifications have been made. The
adaptation has been made by the clever
author Fleron. The company presenting it
