MEXICO City, Feb. 1.-The various in

and Of border points in the United

tons for an immense demonstration in
favor of the Mexican government in it's

TIE so or more unions which will take

onies of Mexicans living along the

and California and who have already

and the gathering is expected TO be q

on the feelinss OF patriotism which in
apire the workingmen of Mexico at this
time of impending danger to the rspub.

him to see that now, az in all past times
of war in Mexico, justice and right had
found their defenders in those ready to
use the cannon and unshesth the sword,
and 1t was . great pleasure for him to
serve such country, where its people
at all times observed the religion of
patriotism. BE still hoped the dispute
with Guatemala might remain within
the boundaries Of diplomacy and
business without the splitting of Mexi-
can blood, bat this did not detract from
the pleasure il gave him to feel that
come what might government and peo-
pie would stand together in a common
cause aud for common defence. The
preeidsnt begged his auditors to use ut
all tiKaaS great discretion in their de-
monasfaiione OF patriotism and by word
or decd offend no one, al by THE way
only the dignity OF the nation in gen.
eral can be Sustained. In closing, the
president agsin thanked the working
men for the honor they hEd shown him
and Mexico, and the practical proof they
had presented that if Mexico be in

have the backing Of 10000, 900 Mexican

To the Japaneee ministers OF state the

the psacs discussion is EXTERN ely well

OF his character would NOS countensnos

Its expected, moreover, that he will

lays. On the other hand, it is consid-
orsd not improb babe that the en- baesa-

their American counsellor, and that the
negotiations may bs Intentionally COM

The Japanese are still incrednlous as
to Ohina's good faith. and have small
hope of practical results from this first
interchange OF views. For really serious
work, the envoys do not seem to have
bssn happily selected. Their work and
position would undou btedly be sufficient
in western communities, but they are
not OF the highest class in China, and
would be disavowed and discrsdited in
moment II their government found it
convenient TO repudiate than. This is

played in past years. Almost every in
transitional transaction shs has began
by employing officials of a sscoh Diary

the proclRmations which have disgrscsd
the Chinese authorities. Fifty taels are
offered to any person bringing the head
of a Japanese ''wojsn," and the destruc-
ton OF ships boat. if accompanied by
the killing OF 10 or more sailors, will be
rewarded by q prize OF 1000 taels. To a
general who defeats the enemy and in
ficts the loss of several Thousand men,
100, 900 taels are promised. This docu-
ment is paoarded about Shanghai at

A LAUNDERING BAILIFF.
NARROW ESCAPE OF A SANE MAN
in ILLINOIS.
Mistakeu for q Lunatic, he Is Placed on
Trial and Regularly Conn
unisteds

QUINCY, Ill.,, Feb. IA mistake was
made in the county court here which
came near landing a sane man in the
Jacksonville asylum and libsratng an
insane man. DR.. Hedrick OF Golden
sent his insane brother, Charles, to this
city for tho purpose OF having the county
court inquire into his mental condition.
Charles Hedrick was sitting among the
spectators in the court room while the
jury was being impaneed. After the
jury had been sworn, Deputy Sheriff
Schsffer, through mistake got hold Of
railway engineer named Tom Nichol,
and believing he bad Hedrick, asked
him TO take the insane chair in front of
the Jury. Nichol did not realize that
the deputy had made mistake. but
supposed he was going to be used as a
juror or witness. Ia fact. no one noticed
the mistake, and while several witnesses
were testifying to the condition of He'd
rick, who was sitting among the speo-
tators. all eyes were turned on Nichol.
When the evidence was all in the Jury
retired, returning with a verdict OF in
sanity. Deputy Schaffer then asked
Nichol. who had not yet discovered that
he had been arraigned in Hedrick's
place, to accompany him down stairs.
Nichol, thinking that he was going to
be OF some assistance to the deputy,
promptly consented. On reaching the
basement and aeeng the jail bars, Nichol
asked what was wanted OF ahim. No
ticing that the deputy gave him an
evasive reply, Nichol realized for the
first tims that he was being mistaken
for Hedrick. He refused to go any fur
Their, and while the deputy was trying
to persuade him to 20 with him Sheriff
Roth came upon the scene. Nichol tried
to explain things, but the more he tried
to convince them that he was Nichol,
the more the officers believed him to be
Hedrick. The two officers took Nichol
along by force, telling him they would
have nice game OF ssven-up together.
and then they would take pleasant
ride to Jacksonville.
This thought struck Michel that may
be he WAS actually insane and his rels-
tivea had taken him into custody.
But be said he could not reason it out
slong that line very we'll and he came
to this conclusion that the last ray of
hope was in some papers he had in his
pocket. He presented the papers to
the officers, and in another instant the
deputy was boUndingup stairs inqnir-
ing for Charles Hedrck whom he
found still seated in the audience whers
he had been On intereated spectator
OF his own inquistion. The officers
offered Nichol all sorts of apologies and
begged him not to say anything about
the occurrence to any one, but after
Nichol had gained his liberty the story
was too good TO keep, and before dark il
Was the talk of the town.
