Washington, Aug. 17.-Tn a letter
mailed at New Orleans on the 14th ult..
Lieutenant Usher reports to the navy
department concerning the perform
snce of the torpedo boat Ericsson
coming down the Mississippi river from

KEEP AWAY FROM MEXICO.
1t is Il Land of Varying Conditions,
and Keen Disappointment often
Rp.rryta

Washington. Aug. 1I.-[Special. 1.-The
advance sheets of the consular reports for
August say that consular reports from
Mexico warn Americans from enigrating
to that country with a view to perma-
nent settlement with insufficient means or
without informing themselves, in a rel
able way, as to The prospects for earning
iivelihoods.
While there are undoubtedly good OPP
portunities in Mexico for enterprise,
frugality and thrift, it is, like other eoun-
tries, a land of varying conditions and it
often happens that appointment is the
result of emigration undertaken upon in
sufficient or misleading Information. or
without resources which are always
necessary to success in a new country.
Many Americans have been induced by
ailuriug statements as to the cheapness
of coffee raising, etc, to emigrate TO
Mexico within the past year and some
have lost their all by so doing. Tor these
reasons consuls desire to caution Ameri-
cans agairs st the representations of specu-
1ators, who are always on the watch for
the unWary.

He Proposes to RcAoce Wages.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 17.-Union Pacific
federated board is arranging to have
Receiver Mcneil, of the oregon Short
Line, called before the federal court
for taking steps to reduce the wages OF
employees. This action was great sur
prise to the chairmen of the various
orders of railroad bodies in the west.
When the Short Line was part of
the Union Pacific system, the employ
ees were included in the order of
Judges Caldwell and Sanbon, that the
old wage schedule should stand, and
that no further reductions should be
made, or no other schedules, rules or
regulations should be put in force
without further orders from the court.
The withdrawal of the Oregon and the
appointment of a separate receiver,
does not take it out Of the hands of
the court. The first thing the chairmen
will ascertain is if Mr.. Mcneil has
been given authority by the court to
submit a new schedule. If not the men
claim that he will be in contempt.
