OUR SISTER REPUBLIC.
The Populace Excited Over Governors
Consulting With the President.

Inc POpulace EXc1teQ over Governors
Consulting With the President.
New ORLEANS, Feb. ga Picayune
San Antonio, Texas, special says: Under
order from the Government, detail of
United States officers made an inspection
of the Mexican railway lines and coast
defenses. They found them both much
more thorough than expected, and the
coast works in particular progressing
with notable rapidity.
One of the officers said to-day: "For
sometime past, as | am creditably in
formed, President Diaz has been calling
the Governors of the different States to
the Capital and comforting with them.
The procedure has been unusual. and
much comment is excited.
1.-The fact is that President Diaz leaves
shortly for France, where he will remain
some months. The fact of his intended
departure is known only to very few
persons, and they are of the highest cir
cles. The country is not as quiet as it
should be.
''The Sandoval revolutionflast summer
demonstrated that the insurrectionary
spirit still exists. The departure of the
President is almost certain to be followed
by trouble in one place or another, and
for this reason the Governors have been
in consultation with him. Diaz holds the
republic with an iron grasp, but when he
is in Europe it will, necessarily, be re-
attempted rebellion will be speedily
crushed. The administration has too
large an army and with the present
transportation facilities the soldiers can
be mobiliZed too rapidly to permit of a
successful revolution"

Three Highbinders Attempt to Fore

Three Highbinders Attempt to Forci-
bly, Take a Chinalnan's Wife.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 5.-About two
weeks ago All Tan, a Chinese carpenter,
took to himself wife from the Methodist
Mission of DR.. Gibson, and took her to
his residence in the rear of his carpenter
shop. She had formerly been an inmate
of a disreputable house, whence she was
rescued by the police years ago.
Before she was rescued she was the
joint property Of three highbinders, and
during her residence at the mission they
often tried to regain possession of her.
They heard of her marriage to-day, and
last night three highbinders, the former
owners of the wife of All Tan called at
his residence and demanded the woman.
They drew Misunderstanding navy re-
volvers to enforce their demands, and
told All Tan that if he did not give up the
woman without making trouble they
would kill him.
Ah Tan was willing to surrender with
out making fuss, but the woman was not
so anxious to return to the life of bondage,
and raised such an outcry that she was
heard by the police, and the assailants
managed to escape.
Wong Sam was arrested for completely
in the assault, but neither All Tan or Lew
Hung could, identify him.
The highbinders declare that they are
determined to obtain possession of the
woman, as she has commercial value of

Los BANos (Cal.), Feb. 5.--The exam
lnation OF E. F. Hale for the murder of
Mrs. Perry Mcdowell, near Cottonwood,
on January 8, 1891, was held in Judge
Davis court to-day.
The crime, it will be remembered, was
committed about eight in the evening.
At that hour there were sitting in room
OF what is known as the Middleton
House Mr.. Mcdowell. his mother, Mrs.
Robert Middleton and her two brothers
and Mrs. Mcdowell, the victim The lat
ter was engaged at the time in making
shadow pictures with her hands upon the
wall for the amusement of her two-year-
old baby boy.
The house is situated just off the old
Los Banos road, about nine miles from
Newman
The murderer, who is supposed to have
watched his victim through bay win
aoW Sle untli she took position that suited
ms purpose, put the muZZle of Win
chester rifle close to the window pane
and shot her dead. There was no attempt
at robbery, and as Hale was known to be
an enemy of the McDowelPs, suspicion
pointed to him. 1t was ascertained SUBJ
sequently that Hale borrowed Winches-
ter rifle from young man named ]. w.
Edwards, ostensibly to shoot coyotes
with. When he got the rifle it had fifteen
cartridges in it, and when it was found
subsequent to the murder, in Hale's
Woodshed, the magazine still contained
THAT number, but the rifle showed that it
had recently been cleaned and oiled.
After the fatal shot was fired Mrs. Nc
DowelPs brother caught glimpse of a
man fleeing in the darkness from the
scene. 1t has been ascertained that the
murdered woman, when Lottie Middle
ton, worked at the Hale household, but
quarreled with Hale and left The dispute
was over money matters, and the parties
were bitter enemies ever afterwards.
AT this mornings examination attor-
neys Turner of Modesto and Fowler of
Merced prosecuted, while Messrs. Breck-
enridge d Peck appeared for the defense,
Several witnesses were examined, and
Hale was held to answer for trial without
bail.

This deeply enraged the people, but the
crowd dispersed without any open act Of.
retaliation. 1t is understood that the
Government will be asked to order an
inquiry into the conduct of the officer in

Salmeron's friends claim that the bulIet
marks around the window from which
he was speaking show that the gendarmes
tried to shoot him.

LABOR TROUBLES.

New York Cloalzmakers Locked Out
Railroad Strike Threatened.
New YORK, Feb. 5.-Nearly 900 cloak
makers were locked out in their big strike
last summer, which lasted three months.
The men won and dictated their own
terms to the manufacturers.
Ever since that time the Cloakmakers'
Union has ruled with an iron hand.
When the men did not get what they
wanted by asking they struck, and then,
almost in every instance, they got it.
Now, contractors who, while they do
not work themselves, act as middlemen
between manufacturers and workmen,
have rebelled. They say they are unable
to continue in business under the present
circumstances. The men make hew de-
mands every day, and want the same
price for their work that the contractor
gets from the manufacturers.
On Tuesday night between eighty and
one hundred contractors met secretly and
decided to lock out their employees.
Yesterday morning each contractor in
formed his men that hereafter no cloak
maker that belonged to the union would
be employed.
Walking delegates were informed of
the trouble, and at once began to organize
the men.
MOSt OF the contractors concerned are
engaged on work for small houses on
East Broadway, but several big firms also
suffer by the lockout.
The men feel confident that they will
win, as the season is close at hand and
the contractors must either lose lot of
money or give in.
TROUBLE BREWING ON THE CANADIAN
PACIFIC.
CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-A Montreal special
says strike of the conductors, brakemen
and switchmen on the Canadian Pacific
is threatened, and may be put into opera
ton any hour. 1t will extend from ST.
Johns, N. B., to Vancouver, B. c.
Two hundred representatives from all
over the line have approached the AS
sistant General Manager of the road and
demanded an increase of pay.
What the company terms reasonable
advance was offered, but not accepted.
The demand of the Canadian Pacific
men will probably be followed by one on
the part of the Grand Trunk employees,
who belong to the same organization, and
who are waiting to see the upshot of this
move before taking action.
MONTREAL, Feb. 5. Vice-President
Shaughnessy was interviwed this after
noon with reference to the report to the
effect that the Canadian Pacific Railway
trainmen contemplated striking. He de-
MED there was any trouble with the con-
ductors, and said certain concessions had
been made to the other hands.

THE IRISH QUESTION.
1t is Believed Parneil's Only Course fs
to Retire.

LONDON, Feb. $50 far as the front
opposition bench is concerned, the inter-
change OF the pourparlers with the anti
Parnellite leaders is reported to have
been concluded. The confidential COM
munications between Gladstone and Nc
Carthy in reference to the method in
which the former proposes to deal with
the land question and control the Con-
stabulary in his next home rule bill,
have, it is said, satisfied Dillon and
O'Brien as well as Mccarthy and Sexton,
and it is contended in Gladstonian circles
that Parnell has now no course open to
him but to retire from the field.
There is reason to believe that the
Gladstonian leaders have expressed their.
Willingness TO concede to the Irish Parlia-
ment the control of the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary as a civil force under condi-
tions much less exacting than those de-
fined in the bill of 1886, and seeing that
the measure dealing with the land ques-
ton will be passed during the present
session of Parliament, they are ready
to admit the title of the Irish people to
deal with any further developments of
the problem.

If the applicant would advance S25 and
good references, they would forward this
application, and when it was returned
the applicant would be furnished with
railroad transportation to the point
where he was to locate. He would be fur
