A TROUBLESOME SUBJECT
GARzA HOLDS THE BOARDS ON THE
RIO GRANDE.
The War Department Chagrined at the
Failure of the Efforts to Catch Him.
Blaine Promises Romero That the Neu-
trality Laws Shall Be Observed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Cara
movement along the Mexican border is
giving the officials of the war depart
ment considerable trouble just at pres
ent. No secret is made of their disap-
pointment that CARA is still at large in
American territory, and that his opera
tions cannot be confined exclusively to
Mexican territory. Cara and his fol-
lowers are known to have received aid
and sympathy from Mexican residents
in the vicinity OF the Rio Grande, and
the fact that the United States troops
are unable to capture the revolutionists,
is in large measure attributed to the
deceptions practiced on them by these
people. General Grant, acting secretary
of war, and General Schofeld had con-
ference with the president on the sub
ject today, and it is understood it was
decided to take vigorous action to cap
ture Cara and his immediate followers
and drive them out of this country.
Sefior Romero, Mexican minister, also.
had talk with Secretary Blaine on the
subject today, and was assured the de-
partment would do its utmost to pre-
serve the neutrality laws.

was matter of rule, those officers hav-
ing already served more than the regu
lation time as commanders OF vessels.
Their times expired some weeks ago,
and it was at their urgent request that
no changes were made as long as there
was prospect OF trouble. Their relief
from their vessels during such a period
would have been regarded as rather Sc
we're, unless there was some specific rea-
son for the change. Captain Bradford
was selected some weeks ago to succeed
Captain Sehley in command of the Bal
timore, but his death at Portsmouth, \. .
H.. recently, made it necessary to select
another officer for that duty.

that they will be considered in advance
of action on the bill to give govern
ment aid to the fair, which is the prin-
cipal business that will come before the
committee during this session. The
resolution offered by Dickerson of Ken
lucky, calling for an investigation by
the judiciary committee into the con-
stitutionality of the worlds fair project,
and government aid to it in the shape
of appropriations, is viewed with
complacency by the friends of the
exposition. They say they are entirely
satisfied 10 have the judiciary commit
tee look thoroughly into the constitu-
tional question raising. They are conf
dent that the conclusion reached will
not be adverse, but, on the contrary,
will be favorable to the exposition. The
worlds fair bill, they say, was drafted
by three of the best lawyers in the
west, and will stand legal scrutiny.
ANTI OPTIONS HEARINGS.
A. J. Sawyer of Minneapolis was be-
fore the house committee on agriculture
again today. He defended the custom
OF buying options on exchange to cover
the possibility of loss on wheat in eleva-
tors. He said spectators carried the
surplus for actual wheat buyers, and
enabled them to sell their wheat as fast
as it could be absorbed. If the wheat
in store were showed forward the mar
ket would be glutted and cash wheat
would fall to very low prices. By buy
ing futures against the wheat he had in
elevators, the elevator man insured
himself against loss.
HI. H. Aldrich, of the Chicago board
of trade, was asked if spot wheat, which
was the wheat farmers sold, would not
be higher if futures were done away
with. He said that if too much wheat
was not sold, the price now might be
better, but in May it would be lower,
and the speculator, owing to the lower
rates of interest he paid, could carry the
wheat cheaper than the farmer. Mr.
Mattullath of Indianapolis next at
tackled dealings in futures. The greater
part Of the trading in wheat was done
between October and April, and during
that time the farmers had to accept the
depressed prices caused by short sellers.
WESTERN WATERWAYS.
Secretary Bryant, of the Western Wa
terways association, appeared before the
senate committee on commerce today
and presented the memorial recently
adopted urging upon congres more lib
eral appropriations for the improvement
of western waterways.

A Divorce Suit Met by Suit for 500, 900
Damages.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. Ga sensation
was caused yesterday when Capt. J. w.
Moore, one of the best known and
wealthiest vessel owners on the great
lakes, sued Tor divorce from his wife,
Laura Moore. He is about 60 and she
about 40. He married her twelve years
ago, when she was a widow with two
children. He charges adultery, and
cites number of instances,
prominent livery stable keeper and
one j. Arthur Wilson being
named as correspondents. Today Mrs.
Moore sued Captain Moore. Capt. w. s.
Mack, Capt. Richard Neville, j. Arthur
Wilson and others for 100000 damages,
charging conspiracy. She alleges that
Wilson was introduced to her by Mack,
who, through the pretense of taking her
to see his wife, lured her into house
of ill-repute, where the other defendants
appeared upon the scene and caused her
arrest. She said it was conspiracy to
deprive her of her just share of her hus-
bands estate, and that Wilson was paid
$4,000 for his work.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The house to-
day devoted itself to the delivery of
eulogies on the late Representative Lee
of Virginia. Several eulogistic addresses
were delivered, and resolutions of sorrow
adopted, after which the house, as a
further mark of respect to the memory
of the deceased, adjourned.
REVISION OF LAWS.
The house committee on revision of
laws held its regular meeting today. and
considered several important measures.
The chairman appointed sub-commit-
tee to frame and report bill, having
for it's object the revision and annexation
of the statutes of the United States down
to the present time. 1t has been some
years since this has been done.
Several bills proposing the establish
ment of bureau of congressional cor
respondence were referred to sub-com-
mittee, with instructions to examine
into the matter and report to the full
committee. These bills contemplate the
employment of corps of stenographers
and typewriters, who shall be available
for use by any member of congress.
They reflect the sentiment of consider
able number of members of the house
who find their time taken up largely by
letters.
A bill introduced by Representative
Little, with regard to reckoning time
throughout the United States, was dis
cuHsed and the chairman instructed to
ask the interstate commerce commission
for information on the subject.
FIDUCIARY INFORMATION.
In response to call for information,
the treasury department has transmit
ted statement to the ways and means
committee, showing the receipts and ex-
penditures from July l, 1891. to Decem-
Der 81, 1891. including the receipts and
expenditures on account of the national
bank fund for the time named. The
total receipts were $175, ,745. .287: total
expenditures, SIZE, ,984, ,072. The amount
of cash in the treasury used to meet the
requirements of the sinking fund
amounted to 500 1856, ,256.
WORLDS FAIR LEGISLATION.
The congressional managers of the
worlds fair project are at present rest
ing on their oars, 80 to speak, and are
awaiting developments at Chicago be-
fore proceeding with the work here, ex-
cepting in quiet way. There are a
number of petitions and memorials per-
tanning to the fair before the Columbian
