THE A

Eau Claire, Wis, Sept. 2.-The affairs
of the National Electric Manufacturing
company came up before Judge Bailey
to-day on an order to the receiver, X. II.
Rust, to show cause why the sale of
the plant, set for Sept. 4, should not be
adjourned. The order was obtained by
Gen. Griffin, representing the Ansonia
Electric company and many other cred
itors. After arguments, during which
attorneys for local creditors opposed post
ponement, the court made an order to
postpone the sale to Nov. /. The post
ponement of the sale was asked for OF
the ground that the financial %stringency
had created unusual conditions; that at
this time cash payment by a.purchaser
of an adequate amount would be practi-
cally impossible, and that the actual val
ne of the plant could not be realized.

TROUBLE WITH MEXICANS
THREATENED COLLISION on TAE
MEXICAN BORDER.
Seizure Of i've Stock on Disputed
Territory by Mexican Officials the
Cause of the TrOublc-TrOops Go
to la Rio Grande.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The trouble on
the Mexican border over the attempt of
Mexican officers to drive a flock of 5000
sheep from the Erited States to Mexico
is still serious. A telegram received at
the wal department from Gen. Wheat,
commanding the department of Texas,
states that two troops Of the Fifth cav
airy with scouts, will march from Fort
Ringgold at noon to-day for Havana,
the scene of the trouble, to support the
twenty men under. Capt. Furbush, who
have the Mexican officers and the sheriff
in charge. The telegram also states
that the commanding officer ut Fort
Ringgold has received unofficial infornla-
ton that Col. Mistro, of the Mexican
army, is coming UP the Rio Grande to
Havana from Reynosa with 4 force of
men. The war department is making an
effort to secure detailed information rs
to the ownership of the sheep and its
action will depend on the result. Should
the claim of the Mexican authorities
that the flock belongs to q Mexican citi-
zen be proved the sheep will be allowed
to cross over the Mexican line. Pending
a settlement of the military aspect OF the
affair, the state department will hold the
matter in allegiance, and then demand of
the Mexican government an explanation
of the action of its customs officials in
sending an armed force to make a seizure
on United States soil. The question of
whether the strip of land on which the
sheep are located is in Mexico or the
United States, by reason of Il change
in the direction of the Rio Grande, will
also be subject to diplomatic arrange
ment.

MIST GIVE BONDS.

Fargo, \. D., Sept. 1.-The state board
of railroad commissioners is in session
here. The object of the meeting is to
make the elevators give bonds, as re-
quired by a law passed two years ago.
Last year all the companies did not do
this. Each elevator company is required
to give bonds for $1,000 for one elevator
and $1,000 for each additional one. No
trouble is anticipated from the large
companies doing business in the state,
but the private elevator owners seem dis
posed to register IA substantial kick.
Other important matters may result in
another meeting being held here next
week.
