 El Paso Herald: The rejection by the Mexican supreme court of the ap- neal of Adolfo Villareal under sen tence of twenty years Imprisonment for having instigated the murder of David McKellar in the state Of Goa huila, is causing much comment among the resident foreighners, for the action of the court will tend to make the life of foreigners secure all over the country. Villareal was wealthy man and of great social in- fluence, but nothing has ayailed him in the courts. Mcclellan was engaged in the cattle business and Villareal had persisted in pasturing his cattle on the Scotchman's lands, although he was reatedly warned not to do SO. Finally Mcclellan was killed by an assassin hired by Villareal as was proved and he would have suffered the death penalty, but it was held that the new system doing away with capital punishment was operative in his state.
 The Lower Californian, (published at Ensenada) of the 23rd says: On the steamer Orizaba, which arrived in port from the south this morning was the body of E. J. Reed who had com mitted suicide in his stateroom on the vessel yesterday morning by hang ing. He was on his return from Guaymas where he had been attend ing to some business matters, and yesterday morning about 5:30 o'clock one of the seamen who was washing down the decks found his body sus- pended to a cross-beam in the state room which he occupied. He had been suffering from i'll health, and met with many financial reverses in the past few years. Dependency probably drove him to suicide. E. J. Reed was well known on this penin- sula, having formerly been prominent ly connected with the old Interna- tional company, and for several years acted af their land agent at Guaymas. At one time he owned considerable property in this section and built the house known as the Reed cottage on the San Carlos mesa. He was about forty years of age and unmarried.

the people. He covered with sarcasm the
men who were drawing salaries in conse-
qrence of Populisr support, and who as
sumed to dictate.
John p. Fay said. II am constrained 10
take issue with my fellow delegate from
King county, Hardin. The question is.
Is it wise 10 send delegates 10 the con-
ference at Nashville as representa- ves
OF the Populist party. We can take such
action at Nashville as will protect the
Popuiist party principles. When the
question of fusion shall come up in tn
ture then let the Popuiist party meet j..
The Populist party will never fuse unless
to the benefit of the party. 1t will never
abandon its principles for the sake OF
political allegiance

The innuendo against salaried politi-
clans seemed to strike a responsive chord
in the breast OF H. l.. Forrest He said
that the men who were drawing fat sal
aries by the grace of God and the People
party were not safe counseiors in crisis
Of principles. Without stating its con-
nection with the matter under discussion.
he proceeded to abuse the Office hold
ers at Olympia his words receiving hearty
applause. Abiding to Gov. Rogers. he
said, with Cassius. Upon what meat doth
this our Caesar feed that he hath grown
so great?' Continuing he said. The Gre
ature wants TO remember that he is not
the Creator. II is the curse of politics
that man elevated to a small position
Immediately thinks he is the people"
After more language OF like nature.
Hardin, declaring that he had offered his
motion TO test the feeling OF those pres
ent on the fusion question. asked per-
mission to withdraw it. This was not
allowed. and on a vote being taken the mo-
ton was downed. The election of dele
gates was then proceeded with and Clay
son vanished through back door.
The result of the halloting is as already
told. 1t was accompanied with the same
wearisome wrangIing as had preceded,
matters both great and small being ar
gued TO a standstill. Before adjournment
the following resolution against fusion
was passed almost unanimously:
Against Fusion.

expresses its fun concurrence in the reso-
lutions of the executive committee of the

ferred to in the foregoing. HE who is

out on motion of Fay as being too strong.

ment underlying the resolution, but not
