MEXICAN SIDE
OF THE CASE.

Yesterday a News reporter
called upon Vice Consul Gen
eral Wallis in search ofinforma-
ton regarding the alleged fir
ing urol peaceful voyagers
down the Rio Grande by Mex
lean troops in the neighbor-
hood of Guerrero On the twelfth
of December last, and learned
that the consulate was in re-
ceipt cfletters from the customs
and military authorities offer
ing to furnish ali the desired
information as soon as practi-
cable. The consular agent at
Mier, within eight miles of the
town where the affair took
place has done everything in
his power to get at the true
facts in the case and has for
warded the statement of the
sergeant in charge CT the de-
tachment which was complicat-
ed and that document relates
that the Americans landed on
the Mexican shore, thereby
placing themselves within the
jurisdiction of Mexico which
has a right to do police duty
along the river, and being afraid
that they were smugglers, the
officer challenged them in order
to find out the character of
their expeditions, which was
suspicious looking. four loaded
boats being quite unusual in
that neighherheod. The state
ment further says that the
American fired first and that
the sergeant then discharged
his piece into the air. MIR. Walls
says that the stateme..rs are
somewhat contradictory and
that he shall be obliged.to send
some trustworthy person to in
vestigate. Meanwhile a great
deal of correspondence is going
on between the consulate and
the state department.-Laredo

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
What Politicians are Doing
and Saying Around
the Capitol.
Our Regular Correspondence.

The talk among democrats
since the Senate passed the
free coinage substitute for the
House bond bill has been more
favorable for some sort of a
satisfactory financial compro
mise in the National plantform
than at any time during the
present session of Congress,
ard the result is already seen
in q more hopeful feeling among
the members of the party, and
and in declarations of support
for the nominee of the Chicago
convention. Representative and
Senator Elect Money, of Miss,
who represents a strong silver
constituency, says that while
he believes with the democrats
of his state that it will he sui
cidal for the Chicago conveu-
ton to nominate a single stand
ard candidate or make a single
standard platform that he has
confidence in the assembled
wisdom of the convention and
believes it will nominate a good
ticket and make a good plat
form, and knows that Missis-
sippi's electoral votes will be
democratic as usual. Ex-peaker
Crisp, whose silver views are
well known said: 81 expect to
support the nominee Of the
Chicago convention, whoever he
is" Representative Bailey, of
Tex, another silver man, said:
"If I am forced to choose be-
tween the republican party with
its well-known policies;the pop
Mist party, with its vagaries
and paternalism, and the de-
mocratic party, even with a
gold standard platform, I shall
certainly support the demo-
cratic candidate. As important
as / consider the silver question
recognize that there are other
questions of vast Importance.
No wise man would forsake
many agreements on one dis
agreement, and embrace many
disagreements on one agree
ment." Representative Dins-
more, of Ark. also a friend Of
silver, said: Il expect to stay
in the democratic party. I be-
lieve the only hope for bimet
allism is in that party. We
cannot afford to split, as dis
Indignation would weaken the
cause of silver" Representa-
tive Owens, of Kentucky, said;
Democrats in Kentucky will
support the ticket nominated
by the Chicago convention.
They are already disguised
with the republicanism and
will return to the faith of their
fathers, regardless of whether
the ticket and platform are
precisely as they would have
them or otherwise" These
views are fairly representative
of those held by democrats in
congress, and indicate united
support for the Chicago ticket.
The four democratic members
Of the Senate committee on
elections, Gray, Pugh Turpie
and Palmer, voted against the
report made by that committee

of Del, but as the republicans,
Notwithstanding individual ex
pressions to the contrary, will
all vote for him, and as they
will almost certainly be able o
persuade" enough populists
to vote with him to make a
majority, it is expected that he
will be seated, although it may
not be until after hard fight.
Some of the friends of the
other republican candidates, in
Congress, are not feeling as
kindly towards Mckinley as
they might. This is owing to
news which has reached them
from their homes, concerning
McKinley's attempts to make
deals with the supporters of
other candidates. These at
tempts are being made through
personal letters, written by Nc
Kinley, authorizing the bearers
of them to speak in his name
and pledging himself to carry
out any promises made by
them. Among tie states in
which these Mckinley confden
tial agents have been trying to
work are Minnesota, Iowa, New
York and several Of the New
England states. A hint has
been sent to Mckinley to the
effect that if lie doesn't stop
4 this SORT of business the other
candidates intend to retaIiate
by sending men to Ohio to help
along the Mckinley revolt, now
reported to be well under way.
Senator German has decided
no. to be a delegate to the Ma
tional convention and to give
up his place upon the Demo
cratic National Committee. Tn
short, to give up for time all
participation in National poll
tics. He says his sole reason
for this is that lie may during
the next two years devote his
entire attention to getting Mary
land back into the democratic
party, where she naturally be
long, and that he has succeeded
in that task he may resume
active connection with the Ma
tional affairs of the party.
Ex-Congressman Geo. R. Da-
Wis, of Ills, has the natural re.
publican love for government
money. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Davis was Director
General of the Worlds Fair,
and that he drew a salary which
more than one person publicly
charged to have been largely
ont of proportion to the value
of the services he rendered. Be
that as it may, he drew the sal
airy. There isn't the slightest
bit of doubt about that. Yet a
paragraph in the Urgency De-
iiciency Appropriation bill
which has already passed the
republican House, provides that
the U. s. Government shall pay
Mr.. Davis 81S,o06.1o cash, tho
S6.10 were doubtless put. on to

Some of our exchanges say
that in the Chicago convention
there will be trouble as to the
two>thirds rule. We do not see
how there can be. The two-thirds
rule applies only to nominations
for the presidency; not to the
platform. Besides, the free-silver
men will be so strong in the Chi
cago convention that they will
have no difficulty in pleasing
themselves in the matter of rules
as we'll as in the matter Of nomi>
nations. And, above all, nobody
is going to try to adopt a two>
thirds rule in the Chicago con-
vention; and all persons who are
banking hopes of any sort upon
the assumption that the Demo
Gratis will have a two-thirds rule
in their convention may as well
dismiss all such hopes. The die
is cast. The Democratic plat
form is going to be adopted by a
majority vote, though it could
easily be adopted by a twosthirds
vote,

This paper has kept its readers
posted on this subject, and they
cannot be surprised at the
strength which Mr.. McKinley's
friends expect to manifest in the
body.
AS the Richmond Despatch
says: Each house of every State
Legislature in the land claims

to deny this right to that body.
We take it for granted that there
will be no question on this point.
Then as to the two-thirds rule.
This was d Wing rule in the be-

TRAITS.
How tho Old Chancellor Came Out Ahead
of a Stupid otelkeepe

How the Old Chancellor Game Out Ahead
of a Stupid Hotelkeeper.
Perhaps the chief trait of his genius
is to be found in his entire freedom
from the preconceived notions, and in
the limpidness of his mind, which re-
fused to submit to accepted fallacies.
h tendency in early age earned for
him, of the dull pcdantry and prime
Philistines around him, the s~obriquet
of ''Tolle Bismarck"-the mad Bis
! marck; but later on it resulted in the
complete demolition of the old system
of diplomacy. For ~equivocation and
downright falschood his powerful in
tcllect su bstituteda kind of outrageous
frankness which b~ewildered and out
witted his Gdversaries. Nothing, how
ever, marks his strong personality
more vIvidly than the intense hatreds
and blind devotions with which he has
surrounded himself. He had the cour-
age to be himself, the power to rely
upon himself and to ooh at things in
the face, while the keen sense OF
humor enabled him to see clearly the
vast array of sham and pompous pre-
tense of public and private life. Never
had madness more method than is
shown by the originality of this
strange being. half Mephistopheles,
half dragon, who, before subduing to
his iron will the whole of European
diplomacy, shocked and Mortified the
fogics of the old school with the in
nuendoes and i~nsinuations, the sar-
casms and stories, b gibes and jokes
which he flung at their heads merci-
lessly and continually. The wigged
and powdered pomp which covered
| diplomatic pretense and mendacity
| was torn aside the instant that Prince
Bismarck got a grip of political real
tiles, and his first appearance among
the dig1lified excellencies of the Ger
man diet constituted a vcritab | revo-
luton.
The incidents of his early relations
with these empty-headea ''importants
sans Importance offer, perhaps, the
most racy of the many anecdotes re-
lated-in Prince Bismarcks own words
in many cases-in his Boswell, his
faithful secretary, DIR. Moritz Busch.
His first encounter at Frankfort was
with his hostler, who, like all the good
burghers of the Free City at that time,
was intensely anti-Prussian. The old
hotel where he put up, as the Prussian
delegate to the diet, was not provided
with a complete system of bells, and
bismarck asked for a hand bell, at
least, wherewith to communicate with
his valet. But he was crafty told
there was none to spare, and that he
must shift for himself. Early next
morning the loud report of a pistol set
all the guests in a panic, with the ex-
ception of Bismarck's servant, who ex-
planned that, as no bell was forthcom-
ing, his master had summoned him by
pistol shot. Five minutes later. the de-
sired bell was placed within Bismarck'a
reach.-N. Y. Post
