EMIGRANTS TO MEXICO.
The party of emigrants NEIL
toned in last evenings HERALD
arrived here this morning about
10 o'clock, and went into camp
on the river bank about a hun
dred yards above the Bessie's
landing. A HERALD reporter
visited the camp and found that
the party comprises fourteen
persons, six men, four women
and four children. They come
from Comanche, Texas, and are
under the leadership of a Mr..
Culp. They are en- route to
TuXpan, Mexico, where they in.
tend to join an American col.
ony Of about forty families, all
from Texas, who are engaged
in coffee culture. The party
left Comanche Feb. -, having
travelled slowly. Their outfit
consists of six good wagons and
an ambulance, and have very
good teams.
They expressed themselves
very favorably regarding this
country, especially that por-
ton near Arroyo Colorado, and
say that the Sand" district
would make a splendid fruit
growing country. 1t would be
a good thing if these families
could be induced to invest in
Cameron county land and re
main here. They are well
equipped for farming and would
make valuable citizens.

FLAXSEED INlPORTATIONs

New York, March 21-The
arrival at this port: early in the
week, of a steamer from the
Argentine Republic with a car
go of 10000 bushels Of flax
seed has brought to light some
interesting facts. 1t seems that
quite a trade has been going on
in seed from the far away coun-
try for some time past, about
100000 bushels of the Argen-
tine seed having already been
sold here. Another cargo, sim
liar to the one received last
week, is due here next week.
The haxseed is reported to be
Of good quality and the price
brought is equal to S1.28 per
bushel, duty paid, the latter
amounting to zoe per bushel-
Crushers get a rebate on oil
cake exported, which makes
the net price about S1.2O for
the South American article.
American flaXoeed is at $50
to 1.55. 1t is interesting to
note that>two years ago Amer
lea exported large quantities
of ttaXseed-now she is import
ing.

AS by way of showing the differ
ence in the Republican aud the
Democratic methods OF doing bust
ness, the Savannah News cites tho
fact hat heretofore it has been a
custom in the Senate for Senators
elected to fill unexpired terms 10
receive the back salary from the
time the vacancy occurred.
Thus, If n vacancy existed for a
year, the man elected to fill it would
get the back salary of SIS, 600, rs
well as the salary for his time
actually served. That, says our
contemporary, was the Republican
way of doing business. 1t thinks
that the Republican theory NUT
have been to spend all of every ap-
preparation. and to leave no salar-
les undrawn, and it certainly looks
that way.
But happily for the country this
unolushing gobbling of the peoples
money Is at IN end, as the Demo-
Gratis Lave put a stop to that kind of
business. The News. in referring to
the Democratic treatment OF such
cases, says that for two years there
have been Senatorial vacancies from
the States of Washington, Wyoming
and Montana.
The Democrats have established
the precedent of cutting out back
salaries In such cases, SO that a saw.
ing to the Government of $40. 600 in
each of these instnnces-S3O, 900 in
all-will be effected, and probably
larger sums will be saved in the
future. This. says our contempo.
rary, is the Democratic way of do.
ing business, and just here it mnr
be asked. which is the honester of
the two? Surely, as between the
Democratic and Republican meth.
DDS. O decision should not be diff.
cult.

THE FREE ALCOHOL CLAUSE
Republicans Will Tolerate No Tariff

Carlisle'S Bill.
BY Southern Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-A number
ofsthe Democratic members al the
Senate Appropriation and Finance
Committees ut a conference this
afternoon decided that they would
endeavor I, put Oh to the urgent
deficiency bill Il rider in the shape
of u repeal Of the free alcohol clause
OF the new tariff act. The subject
is being quietly discussed and Re-
p%ublicans we're sounded to-day as to
their feeling IN regard to the mat
ter.
1t is understood that the commit
tee has been urged to elleot the re-
peal if possible, and energetic efforts
in that direction are being made.
Republican leaders decline to com
NIT themselves, but it is understood
that they will oppose any attempt to
revive the tariff agitation and will
not permit amendments, however
small.
1T is authoritntively stated this
afternoon that President Cleveland
has not considered the question OF
an extra session.; that he does not
believe one to be necessary, aud
that there is nothing in tho situa-
ton at present which will justify his
calling the Fifty fourth Congress
together after tho adjournment on
the 18th of March next.
The authority for this statement
is a member of Congress who talked
with tho President specifically upon
this subject to day. This gentleman
thinks that the %evenu consequent
upon the collection of the income
tax, the sugar tax and from other
sources, will, within II few months,
give the Treasury Department q
comfortable working surplus. He
thinks it not improbable that Secre-
tary Carlisle may be compelled to
make another sale Of probably $780,
600, 600 Of bonds, but that when this
shall have been done the condition
of the Treasury will be so improved
that nc further trouble need be ap-
pretended. The gentleman in ques.
ton while not approving the Carlisle
Banking bill, will vote for it, but
says that it's failure to become O law

A TRAGEDY IN MID-AIR.
The Hawk Catches tho Weasel, but Cots
the Worst OF IL.

The Hawk Catches the Weasel, but Cots
the Worst OF It.
The weazel Is dainty and luxurious
liver, in his way, says the Houston
Post. He steals the freshest eggs, Sc
lects the tenderest chickens of the
brood, and will sometimes kill several
for a single meal, sucking the warm
blood and eating only a small portion
Of the flesh. He is not only sly and
cunning but remarkably courageous.
He will often attack an enemy much
larger and stronger than himself, and
he does not lose his wits even in i'm
minent peril. This heroic quality Is
sometimes strikingly evlnced. Two
farmers in Titus County, Texas, were
eating their midday meal, when they
noticed a large hawk circllng in the
sky overhead. He was gradually
narrowing his circles while ap-
preaching the ground, and it was APP
parent that he would soon drop upon
his victim. The men looked about
cautiously, without movement or noise,
and presently discovered a weasel
stretched out upon the warm side of
a log, not far away, probably summing
himself after long mornings sleep,
for the weasel does his sleeping in the
daytime and his work at night. But
the weasel quietly blinked at the sun,
either unconscious Of the danger or in
different to 1t. The farmers had Just
made this discovery when the hawk
came gliding down, swift as an arrow,
seized the weazel in his powerful tai
ons and rose again alomst perpendicu-
larly. All seemed at an end for that
weasel Soon, however, the move
ments of the great bird became strange
and unnatural. His wings worked
rapidly and convulsively, as IL making
great effort to sustain fight, then he
began to sink, slowly till finally he fell
straight like plummet to the ground
dead! From under the outstretched
wings crept the weasel, apparently I'M
harmed. What had happened? The
weasel had quickly stretched his long
supple neck under the hawks wing,
stuck his teeth into vital part and
sucked out the life blood. The mus
cles of the hawk relaxed as the blood
was rapidly drained. There was last
desperate effort at flight; the wings
tapped uselessly in the air, and the
heavlness of death brought him swiftly
to the ground, very near the spot where
the weasel had been basking in the sun.

the revival or simply ignore it. AS to
