He Desires to Adopt Princess
May.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-An intimate friend
of tine Prince of Wales states that the
latter desires to adopt the Princess May
as his daughter. He is much attracted
to the young princess, and the untimely
death of the Duke of Clarence created
strong bond of sympathy be-
tween the father and the fiancee.
The princess wears the deep
est possible mourning, and her
grief has every mark of sincerity.
Prince George is very attentive to May,
and is often in her company. The
young princess reclprOcates his devo-
tion by showing sisterly solicituGe for
his health, which has not been good
since his attack of fever.
The possibility of George and May
being married continues to be discussed,
and it is believed that if they desire to
wed the queen will absolve the princess
from good part of the traditional five
years period of mourning and allow an
early betrOthal. -.

impression that had it not been for

In the course of the articles the writer
says:

raining blow after blow on the latter's
head. Chattock offered no resistance,
but covered his face with his hands and
shouted for help. A policeman camd
to ChattOck's assistance and arrested
Dodge. Trouble grew out of an article
in yesterdays Tribune, in which Chat
tock accused Dodge of being unfaithful

giving the officials of the war depart
ment considerable trouble just at pres
ent. No secret is made of their disap-
polntment that Cara is still at large in
American territory, and that his opera
tlons cannot be confined exclusively to
Mexican territory. Cara and his follow
ers are known to have received aid
and sympathy from the Mexican resi-
dents i'll the vicinity of the Rio Grande.
and the fact that United States troops
are unable to capture the revOlutiOnistS
is in large measure attributed to the
deceptlons practiced on them by these
people.
Gen. Grant, acting secretary of war,
and Gen. Schofield had a conference
with the president ON this subject to-
day. and it is understood that it was de-
cided to take vigorous action to
capture CARA and his immediate
followers and drive them out of
this country. Senor Romero, the Mex
lean minister, also had talk with Sec.
retary Blaine on the same subje, to-
day, and was assured that this gov ern-
ment would do its utmost to prest rv
the neutrality laws.
The president Of Mebico has wth-
drawn the suggestion recently made by
him that Mexican troops in close ur-
suit of the revolutionists be allowed 10
cross the Rio Grande at points where
the exact line of division of the two coun-
tries is as yet underlined. a like privi-
lege to be conceded to United States
troops under similar conditions. 1t is
understood that this action was taken at
the suggestion of this government on
the ground that the presence of armed
troops on foreign territory might result
in dangerous international cOmplica-
tions. The two governments will con-
tinue to cooperate, however, in the
strict enforcement of the ne utrality

Pegg, a cowboy, was shot and fatally
injured early this morning at ranch

dance was breaking up this morning,

Crawford turned to ride away he
opened fire upon him. Crawford In
stantly returned fire. Several shots
were exchanged. one ball entering
Pegg's side just below the heart. Craw-
ford was hurried away by cowboy
friends and is still at large.
