Drought and Dcstitntion in Mexico

Drought and Destitution in Mexico
GALVESTON, Tex, July 23.-North-
ern Mexico is again confronted with a
total crop failure. Summer rains
which have been anxiously expected
have not come. Farms in the best dis
tricts of Mexic are lying idle and labor
ers are working on new roads at fifty
cents day, equal to "a cents in Amer
lean money, and with this amount they
feed themselves. Corn, their principal
article of food, costs them AZ cent per
peck. Many of these laborers have
large families to support on this meagre
salary and they arc considered fortu-
nate in being able to secure work.

A DIVORCED Husbands Crime

DENVER, Col, July 23.-shortly af-
ter midnight Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Scott
were almost chopped to pieces in their
bed. The weapon used was Ratchet.
The victims were discovered in an un-
conscious condition, and although still
alive there is little hope of their living
through the night. Peter Heenan, the
former husband of Mrs. Scott, is sus-
pcctcd of having committed the crime,
being prompted by jealousy.

GENERAL FIELD, the third party's
candidate for the Vice-Prcsidency, says
"the Force bill is nothing, bugbear,
mere SHELTON to frighten the people
not worthy of consideration. If the
people of Orange, the Generals own
county, were differed by negroes, and
were required to cast their ballots under
federal supervision, as they would be if
a republican President and House of
Representative be elected next No
vember, they would think the Force
s,ill any thing else than a bugbear and
would deem it worthy of the most seri-
Gus consideration.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The stock maslo,
to-day was even less animated than last Sat
urday and the transactions of less importance,
the prominence OF the industrials in the mar-

movements among the stocks traded in were
insignificant in the extreme. The opening
was generally at shade lower than last
nights figures, but firm temper was seen
even in the dizziness, though the opening
losses were hardly more than recovered. Alb
solutely no feature was seen and at II o'c!ocl,
the market was dull and stagnant AT shade

list, which shows that though wages

in payment of such judgments although
the contract may have stipulated tor
payment in gold. This amendment
was assailed by Mr.. Sherman as IN
volying principles of much too great
importance to be disposed of without
prolonged discussion and by Mr.. Hig-
gins as an impairing of the obligation
of contracts.
Mr.. Palmer, on the contrary, defend
ed it as removing an anomoly in the
law, which allowed judgments to be
given payable in gold and not allow
judgments payable in cattle or corn, Ii
the contracts were for the delivery OF

c. c. Kelley Anxiously Sought by Band
and Excursion Party.

The Queen City band, of Fremont,
would very much like to know what has
become of c. C. Kelley, middle-aged
man, who first made his appearance at
Fremont a few weeks ago.
Kelley got up big excursion from Ere
mont 10 Everett last Monday. He char
tered small steamer and a crowd of
about sixty excursIonists boarded her
about O'Clock in the morning The
band, which had been engaged expressly
for the occasion, discoursed music and a
royal time was had. At Everett a supper
was in readiness and after supper the party
adjourned TO The ballroom. During the
ball Kelley made his escape and has
not since been seen. When the excursion
lists wanted TO return home the captain of
the steamer would not take them, saying
that their fare had not been paid
The round trip tickets, including the
supper and admission to the dance, cost
$50; this amount was collected by Kel-
ley when the passengers got on the
steamer at Seattle in the morning
1t came on the party like a flash that
they had been victimized, and everybody
wanted 10 lay hold of Kelley. The Queen
City band was especially anxious to find
him, for he was TO pay the members s. a
piece for their services. But he has not

SWEPT TO HIS DEATH.
Boy Drowned in the South Fork
of the SnOqualmie.
WAGON OVERTURNED AT FORD.
The Driver and a Little Girl Are Res
cued-Horses Lose Their Foot
ing-One Drowned.

On Tuesday afternoon David Butcher.
13-year-old lad, was drowned at North
Bend. A. H. Jose, of that village, who is
now at the Snoqualmie hotel. brings news
of the accident. He says that on Tuesday
afternoon Thomas Little, who drives
team for S. D. Gustin, picked up half a
dozen school children who were begging
for a ride. Little, a young fellow of 81,
then started to ford the south fork of the
Snoquamle at North Bend. His object
was to clean the wheels of the wagon and
the legs of the horses. He drove
through the stream once in safety and
then started to cross again at a point
where the water was deeper. As the
wagon rolled in, all of the children but
tyo-a brother and sister by the name of
%utcher-jumped out into the shallow
water. A moment later the horses were
tioundering beyond their depth. and the
swift current overturned the wagon. The
driver and the two children were thrown
into the water. As the wagon was swept
down against the bridge the little girl,
who had chung to one of the wheels, came
to the top. Her brother, by a singular
chance, had caught her by the ankle, and
thus drew himself to the surface. He told
leT 10 let 90 Oh tue wheel anu ne Woulu
take her ashore, but she refused. Then
he struck out for himself and the current
carried him down and out of sight.
Thomas Little, the driver, swan ashore,
and then saw the girl still grasping the
wheel, though the water swept over her
head every now and then and half drowned
her. Little plunged in again and brought
her to land.
A search party was organized for the
body of the boy, and some time after mid
night it was found in a jam of logs half a
mile down the stream. Strangely enough,
the body was turned SO that the white
hand and little of the arm were sticking
out of the water and waving TO and fro as
the current beat against them.
The father Of the drowned boy has been
a drayman around North Bend.

EFFECT OF NICARAGUA CANAL.
Strong Arguments in It's Behalf by Pres
ident smith. of New York.

In the course of hisispeech at the BAN
ouent given on the evening of March 8 by
the citizens of San Francisco TO Andrew
Carnegie and his party, Charles s. Smith,
president of the New York Chamber of
Commerce, said, regarding the Nicaragua
canal scheme:
II seems to me that you do not quite appreciate
the Importance of that canal TO your interests.
/ solemnly believe that within one year after
that canal is finished you will double the price
OF every cultivated acre of land in California.
Why? In all the large cities OF the United
States the radius of their business is beginning
to be circumscribed. In New York city we
have already lost the iobbing business west of
the lakes. The business OF Chicago is being
cireumsc-ibed in the same way She has to
divide with Kansas City, Omaha, and then again
with Denver. Each one OF these large and i'm
portant places is becoming the center OF traffic
and radius which is all their own.
1t seems to me that you here in California,
with your enormous capacity Tor production,
lack facilities for getting to market. You
cannot ship wheat 5000 miles by railroad and
compete with the Northwest: that is dead
sure. OF course you can ship it round the
Horn in sailing vessels pretty cheap, but at the
same time, when you want quick market, and
when it is going to make or 10 cents
a bushel difference in Liverpool whether you
get il there in six weeks or four months, il
makes very important difference in the value
of your land here. am willing to admit that
we are not entirely unselfish about it. In New
York We are perhaps, it is not too much to say,
the financial center OF the United States No
large financial transactions are enjoyed IN
less some OF Us in New York get our
modest commission of an eighth or quarter.
You cannot have prosperity in any part OF the
country, that we do not feel it in New York. l
do not know but what some OF the railroads
might oppose it here. 1t would be very great
mistake if they did. The railroads would share
in the general prosperity which would come
from the Nicaragua cana.
We sometimes indulge in very pleasing
vision in New York that il will some day take
the place OF London, and regulate the exchange
of the world. That will never come to pass
until the Nicaragua canal or some other con-
nection is made connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific. and giving Us q short way by water to
the great Orient
1t is historically true that the nation which
for the time has controlled the commerce with
the Orient has always taken the first place
among the commercial nations of the world 1t
was true of Venice and all the Italian republics.
1t is true OF England today.

BEATEN BY STORMS.
The Argyleshire's Terrible Voy-
age Round the Horn.
ONE OF HER CREWS DROWNED.
Depression OF Coasting Trade Makes
Many Sailors Idle-The UNA
tilla's Passengers.

The Victoria Daily News of yesterday re-
ports the arrival in that port of the Brit
ish bark Argyleshire with LOO tons of
general cargo from Glasgow. The vessel
was Isl days making the voyage and had
very rough time of it. OFF the Plata
river in South America she encountered
terrific gale, which swept away her
spanker boom. smashed her fore-royal,
and the waves rolled with such force over
the vessel from stem to stern as to break
in the skylight.
So terribly did she heave that at times
she was almost on her beam ends. One of
the sailors was tossed overheard during
the storm, and, despite the efforts of the
crew to rescue MIN, was lost. From there
to Cape Horn a series of heavy storms was
encountered, and off Cape Horn another
fearful gale blew steadily for ten days, and
at times the vessel was in danger of being
wrecked. Three of her boats were
smashed and carried away and her bull
warks stove in.
After rounding the Horn she had COM
paratively pleasant weather and made the
remainder Of the voyage in fifty days.
