TO KILL SMUGGLING.
Bynum's Report on Bill Affecting
MexfcO's Free Zone.

Bynum's Report Bill Affecting
AIexicO's Free Zone.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s-Representative
Bynum has reported to the House from the
ways and means committee the substitute
for Representative Cockrells bill, which au-
thorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to
suspend the transportation of goods through
the J/hted States into the free zone of Mex
leo. at any point between the Pacific ocean
and the eastern boundary of the city of
Laredo. Tex. In explanation of the bill
Mr. Bynum says:
''The design of the resolution was to pre-
vent the transportation of merchandise in
bond through the United States into the
free zone of Mexico. The free zone is a
narrow strip extending along the northern
boundary of Mexico from the gulf Of Mex
leo to the Pacific ocean. The government Of
Mexico does not allow shipments in bond
through her territory into the free zone,
hence all shipments into this territory are
made through the United States. The
sparsely settled country along the line be-
tween the United States and Mexico makes
smuggling easy. and the officers of the
government have found it impossible to pre-
vent the same. The exemption of that por-
ton of the zone between the Gulf of Mexico
and Laredo is deemed advisable by reason
of the navigability of the river between
part of the Mexican government to the pass
age of this resolution and the action pro-
posed to be taken by this government. The
bill does not affect the transportation OF
goods in points in Mexico beyond the free
zone

A WOMAN'S EVIDENCE
MISS WACHTER TESTIFIES IN
HARRY HAYWARD'S BEHALF.
She Calls BIixt Liar, O'Den a
Schemer and Assistant Prosecutor
Hall Il DulldOzcr of Women.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-"How does il
look now, old man. asked Harry Hayward
after court adjourned this afternoon, as he
slapped friend on the back and laughed
heartily. He was in good humor. 1t had
been day for the defense in the noted
murder trial. After four long weeks of
trial the defense had at last made mark
with the testimony of Maggie Wachter.
the stenographer, the State having with
drawn it's objections to her testifying.
Miss Wachter was voluble, positive, and
could not be shaken by cross-examination.
She called Blixt liar, O'Dell schemer
to make money out of the county and AS
sistant County Attorney Hall bulldozer
and intimidater of women.
4 Mrs. W. w. Hayward the mother of both
boys, came into court to hear her elder son
again accused of the crime from the lips of
the woman who was to impeach the testi-
mony of Blixt She took it calmly, although
there was look of satisfaction on her face
as she heard the witness testify and heard
how Mr.. Nye failed to shake her. Harry
was jubilant. but controlled himself, yet
often he would burst out into uncomfortable
laughter as Miss Wachter would make
unusually savage thrust at Mr.. O'Dell or
Mr.. Hall.
After court adjourned Mr. Hall stated
that there not word of truth in what
she sad that Hall had called on her and
attacked her character In a most abus-ve
and scandalous manner. 'Why, meet
ing was most pleasant" said Mr.. Hall.
DO they think | am fool to talk the
way she says to woman For the sake
of Impeachment, Mr.. Hall asked the witness
If she had not told John A. Olsen that if he
would go to the defense and tell them he
knew something about the murder case he
could make plenty of money. She denied
1t fatty. She was asked If she did not
threaten Mr.. O'Dell to make it hot for him,
and if she did not say she had been offered
money for Blixt's statement. She was also
asked if she did not tell Olsen that she
knew something about the case. for O'Dell
said something just az they were .going. out
of Bl;xts cell. She denied all this fatty.
Thomas Waterman was called to testify
rs to Harry Hayward's movements on
Dec. 8, the day of the murder. He con-
tradicted Adry. Hayward in several i'm
portant particulars as to the time. Three
boarders at Harry Haywards boarding
house testified that he in the dining
room as late 7:10 that evening. which
brings him dangerously close to the time
when liveryman Wilson claims to have
seen him driving, with Miss Cling a mile
away. The defense expects to establish a
complete alibi for the defendant from 1
p. m. until 1880 O'Clock on the evening of
the murder.

HOUSE VOTES TO PAY MEXICAN

Appropriation for the Hawaiian Ca
for Firing CoIored Women.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-To-day, under
the rules, was suspension day. Four bills
were in this manner considered, follows:
To promote the efficiency of the revenue
cutter service; to equalze the pensions of
Mexican veterans by making them all So
per month under the general law; to equal
ize the duties and pay OF steamboat in
spection service and to authorize the Alta
Monte Water Company to construct dams
across the st. Louis and Cloquet rivers.
Minnesota. The first and last bill failed
to secure the necessary two-thirds. The
bill TO equalize the pay Of Mexican veterans
will benefit about seventeen thousand pen
soners by increasing their pensions an ag-
gregate of 100000. A bill was passed to
grant 70 the State of Alabama, for public
uses, the Mount Vernon military reserva-
tion The last hour to-day was devoted to
discussion of a point of order raised by

IRELANYs ACTION UPHELD.
Bishop McQunid Reprimanded for
CrsticiainE the Archbishop.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-Last weeks
Freeman's Journal. of New York gave out
editcrially that Bishop McQuaid, of Roches-
ter had been reprimanded by Leo XIII for
the attack made from the pulpit of his
cathedral on Archbishop Ireland, and that
notice of the reprimand had been conveyed
by the Pope's order through Cardinal Lee
dochowski to Archbishop Corrigan, who is
Bishop McQuade's metropolitan. Inquiry
made from men who have correct informa-
tion of the case from Rome confirms the
news given in the Freeman's Journal Bsh-
op McQuade has received d severe repri-
mand and Is expected to make due apology
for his grave breach of ecclesiastical dis
cipline. The right of Archbishop Ireland to
speak and act as he did in New York just
before the. late election is practically ac-
knoWledged. -.
