tanned the withdrawal of the offensive par

Ultimate Design of the MexIcan Reyoluttonists.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-An Ell Paso, Texas
special dispatch reads: 1t is just learned
the leaders in the present revolution on the
lower frontier have been working in this
neighborhood for recruits since last June
1t is also learned the headquarters of the
revolutionists are situated at New Or
leans, but their removal to Ell Psso is con-
templated, as this place will afford better
base of operations. The Mexican revolu-
ton is backed by large amount of money
and as soon as ID footholo is obtained in
Mexico the revolution will begin in ear
nest. The idea of those backing the
movement is to cut off that portion of
Mexico north of line extending from
Tuxpan on the Gulf of Mexico to Mazat-
Ian on the Pac fic ocean and declare re-
public under the constitution as promul-
gated in 1857.

Of inquiry for smuggled paintings The
customs authorities, acting under instruc-
tions from Secretary Foster, are making a
thorough canvass of the collections Of big

date Of importation and amount of duty

mum GER of those treasures that have been
smuggled into the country have surprised
the inspectors. The investigation is not
confined to New York, but all art CEN
tres of the country are under surveillance.

General Boynton Interviewed About Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Jan. General Boynton,
being asked if he had sent any reply to the
telegram which the Columbus labor COM
mittee furnished the Associated Press,
said: mo such dispatch reached me
yesterday, from which l conclude no reply
was wanted before their convention today.
AS to the Chinese question, concerning
which the committee represents
itself as inquiring, 1 this is true
that Senator Sherman's record from
first to last on that subject.
as well as in all other questions connected
with labor, is one of wise, continuing and
earnest efforts to advance every interest of
American workmen. AS to his attitude
toward pensions, which is challenged by
the questions asked, his position, which
this committee represents as hostile to the
soldiers, was distinctly stated in debate
by Senator Sherman to be based upon his
convictions that proposed measures did
not go far enough to give veterans full
jus tice."

Bnlkeley's Demurrer Unanimously Sustained

HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 5.-The supreme
court unanimously sustains the demurrer
OF Governor Buckley, the hold-over gov
ernor, in the quo warranto suit of Morris,
late Democratic candidate The court says
a declaration Of the result is an indisEens-
able adjunct to the choice Of governor, as it
furnishes the only authentic evidence OF
election. (Judge Morris has not been de-
clared elected by the house) Unless the
declaration is made in the way SO provided
Uhe process OF election is not complete. 1t
ls found in this case there has been no
declaration by the general assembly that
the relator has been elected governor, and
1t is not claimed that there has been any
equivalent act by any other Of the authori-
tles. 1t follows the relator, whatever any
further inquiry may show, cannot now be
said to have been elected to the Office of
governor and that the respondent remains
de juTe as well as dc fdcto governor of the
state. 1t is, therefore, the duty of all citi-
zens, OF the courts, of all departments of
the state government and both houses of
the general assembly to respect and obey
him accordingly.
The court proceeds to consider whether
the present general assembly has power to
declare the result of the election and the
recognized two houses are not in accord.
The conrt says, however, it is still possible
for either House. or both, to recede. and so
the power of acting on the case is not yet
lost by the general assembly The lack of
law to determine such disputes is pointed
out and the fact that the general assent bly,
is responsible for such lack since the con-
siiCutiOn directs it TO make laws to thai
end. The court says, in conclusion: "To
decide what person is lawfully elected to
any office is a judicial process and where
there is no tribunal specially authorized to
make such decision, the courts must de-
cide, and where such special tribunal
exists, if it refuses to act, or from any
cause fails to act, then the courts, upon
general principles, and to prevent failure
of justice, and perhaps to prevent anarchy
and misrule, would seem to be authorized
to make a decisiOn },
