A Colorado Complaint.


Washington, Aug. 13.-Complaint has
been lodged with the state department by
a resident of Colorado against the gov
ernment of Mexico because it has refused
to extradite two Mexicans who murdered
his brother, resident of New Mexico,
named Reed, and then fed into Mexico.
The governor Of New Mexico, as is war
ranted by the treaty between the two
countries, called directly on the governor
of the neighboring state of Chihuahua
for the surrend.s of the men, but was re-
fused on the ground that the evidence
was insufficient. It is probable that ap-
plication will now be made through the
regular channels for the extradition of the
men if the governor of New Mexico in
sists upon following up the case. If it
shall appear beyond question that the
men are Mexicans it is improbable the
Mexican government will surrender them.

What Does it Nj Meany

City Of Mexico, Aug. 13.-It is reported
that British man-of-war has seized the
Mexican island of Clarion, which belongs
to the state of Coloma, and that there
will be coaling station established
there. The report is given circumstan-
TALLY in the newspapers, but is not yet
confirmed. 1t is also asserted that the
English have planned to seize the islands
of Revillaglgo, on the Pacific coast.
In view of the present amicable rela-
tions between Mexico and England, and
the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine
by the United States, the report appears
incredible, although affirmed in the press.

TROOPS AND MAILS.
Atlantic 4 Pacific Test Case Brings
Out an Important Court
Decision.

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 13.-Judge Well
born, of the United States circuit court,
rendered decision to-day declaring that
the government has the right to fix the
rates for transportation of troops, or any
other government business, including the
mails over any railroad.
1t was estimated that the decision will
make difference of from $45,000,000 to
$5O,0OO,OOO in the amounts paid by the
government every year for transporta-
tion of mails, troops and other business.
The suit of which this decision was the
outcome was brought by the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad backed by all the other
land grant roads, as test case. A trooper
who travelled from Albuquerque to Pres.
cott, A. T., refused to pay full fare and
rendered the conductor just half the regu-
lar price of ticket. The conductor re-
fused to accept this, and after transport
ing the trooper the company sued the
government.
