Lunches With Harrison.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June N.-chauncy NJ.
Depew lunched with the president by invita-
ton, and remained until 8 :15 p. m. He told
q member of the associated press that he had
had very pleasant chat with the president,
but that he did not feel at liberty to say any
thing further about what took place. He
added, in response to inquiry, that it was
useless to question him in regard to the state
department vacancy for the reason that he
thought 1t would be manifestly improper for
him to say anything on that subject.
It is learned that the vacancy in the state
department was referred to only incidental
ly at the conference between the president
and Nh. Depew and that their conversation
related almost solely to the proceedings of
the Minneapolis convention and the manage
ment of the fall campaign.

Trouble Over Tax on Cattle.

PHGSH, A. T., June 2I-The cattle
trouble of last winter has again broken out
on the border of Mexico and promises to in
yolve some knotty questions of international
Law. Last winter the state of Sonora i'm
posed tax on all cattle running in Mexico
and belonging to American owners. This tax
was extortionate and amounted to confisca-
ton. There were many threats at the time
and two or three shooting ARRAYS. but they
finally gave up the stock and the matter was
settled. Some stock wandered back. and a.
the line was neither fenced nor guarded they
occupied their accustomed ranges until few
days ago, when they were all seized by the
Mexican officials and held for tax. The
Americans are very indignant and they will
not pay it, threatening to take the stock by
force. The trouble is expected at any time.

Lake Minnetonka Foams.

MIsNEAPoI1s, MINI, June 16-Orono
Point, Lake Minnetonka, was visited by a
small cyclone which formed on the surface
of the lake and swept across the peninsula
with irresistible force. The residence of
Geo. A. Bracket was wrecked and all the
fine trees surrounding the house, most of
them fifty years growth, were uprooted and
now lie in tangled mass in the cellar of the
wrecked cottage. Hardly tree is left stand
ing along the route taken by the wind. Aft
er playing havoc on the point the twister
doubled on its course and went circling out
across the lake where it apparently dispersed
after whipping the water into foam for
more than mile. That there was no loss of
life is remarkable,
