Second. There exists no such treaty.
And right here comes up a long dor
mant question, and that's the status of
Mexicans now alive, and born before
the passage of the Fourteenth amend
ment in the territory west and south
of the Nueces river.
That territory never was a part of
Texas, but was a part of Tamaulipas.
In 1856 they did not rebel, nor did
Texas ever claim or exercise any pow
er over such inhabitants during the
days of the republic.
That territory and the inhabitants
thereof first became a part of the Uni
ted States, by the treaty of Guada-
loupe Hidalgo in 1S4S, and neither by
that treaty nor any other have the res
idents of this particular section been
made citizens of the United States;
the treaty left their status an open
question for Congress, and Congress
has never acted in the premises. (See
art. s and g., of that reaty).
One more word; there are millions
of white persons" in Mexico today
who, If they choose, can become citi-
Zens of the United States, but her orig
inal Indians and her descendants
cannot. Congress can any day change
the law, but the courts cannot. But
1t Is not probable that Congress will
provide that the war chiefs of the
Yaqui tribe and other tribes in Mexico.
Indians that Mexico herself cannot
govern, shall become citizens of the
United States. A. ]. EVANS.

THE RUSH TO KLONDYKE.

SAN FRANCISCO. July "a, 1ss7.-There
is every probability that Wells, Fargo &
Co. will establish an office In Dawson City
during the coming spring. l.. F. Rowell,
assistant manager of the company. said
today that nothing would be gained by
establishing an Office earlier than that.
The present rate of transportation for
gold from Seattle to San francisco is IS
a thousand and S. from Seattle to Phila-
delphia. If an office is established in the
Klondyke district the rate per thousand,
including insurance, will be $40.
TACOMA, Wash. July "a, 1s97.-The
Klondyke excitement here has reached
fever heat. People of all classes are mak-
ink hurried preparations to get to tho
gold fields, and every day adds to the list
of those bound northward. The latest
move from the city is reported as coming
from few well known capitalists who
have purchased steamer to carry them
and the outfit they will carry. They are
said to have purchased the steamer Ros-
allie, now plying on the Sound and are
preparing to equip the boat with provis-
ions sufficient for two years for several
small parties. The scheme is pool prop
osition, each man bearing part of the

FROZEN IN MIDSUMMER
Employe of the Buffalo Cold

Victim to Ammonia.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July "a, 1S97.-John
Griffin, Is years of age, a laborer en-
ployed at the Buffalo Cold Storage Com
pany's warehouse, was frozen to death
by ammonia last night. So low was the
temperature that the unfortunate mans
body was blistered and he was literally
burned to death. Three other men We're
injured but not seriously. Griffin was en-
gagged in placing a band around the top
of one of the coolers, and, losing his
balance fell twenty feet, breaking a
glass gauge in his fall He made cry
as he fell, and Herbert Gardner, boy
who was employed on the same floor,
hurried to his aid He had almost reach
ed the body when he was driven back by
the fumes of the ammonia. He grabbed
Gritfin's leg and attempted to pull him
out, but was unable to do SO, and had to
run to escape the fumes. He hurried to
the opening which led to the engine room
and alarmed David Clarke, the engineer,
and John Claeber the fireman. The iat-
ter was the first one to reach the floor
on which the injured man was lying, and
he had to give up after his throat was
badly blistered from the inhalation of the
ammonia. He managed to crawl out after
almost reaching Griffin.
Clarke. fearing that both of the men
had succumbed. hoisted a ladder to the
side windows and opened them ta let the
gas out. He entered the building, and by
keeping close to the floor ne found the
lever on the condenser and shut off the

body so badly frozen that it seemed to
have been burned. Clarke took him on
his shoulder to the window and down the
ladder to the ground, where it was found
that life was not extinct, but he died on
the way to the hospital.
An examination showed that both of
his eyes had been burned out and all
of the upper part of the body had been
terribly eaten by the fumes. The doc
tors expressed the belief that he became
unconscious within an instant after the
fumes struck him. Gardner, Clarke and

MANY SERIOUSLY BURNED

PADUCAH, Ky, July "a, 1S97.--There
is a sad scene today abou Ramona
Park, where the Casino summer theatre
was burned last night. A performance
was being given to about 500 people when
the fire broke out from a fireworks dis
play on the stage. The audience was
panic stricken and many were trampled
almost to death, while some were serious
ly burned.
The building was covered with tar
paper and was mass of flames in a very
short time. The theatre is about three
miles from the city, and was principally
patronized by women and children. Ed
G. Bournes Company has been playing in
the building all season. THE Streets of

third act is principally composed of a
fire scene and excelsior wrapped about
wires was used on the stage to produce
the scenic effect. When the excelsior was
ignited, a lamp on the stage exploded and
the tar paper board roofing on the build
ing was instantly ignited.
The curtain was instantly raised and as
soon as the crowd observed that the
building was on fire panic ensued and a
rush was made for the front and side
entrances. ne DullulHS WAS d 1diSe oiie-

been used as a skating rink. Men and
women went wild, running over each
other; children were trampled down, as
well as women by the score.
The building, although about 300 feet
in length, was mass of flames IN about
three minutes. Mothers and fathers in
the wild scramble to save their lives,
were lost from their children. Many
children were rescued from the burning
building by heroic men, who themselves
were terribly burned about the face. and
hands in accomplishing the undertaking.

that no one was seriously Injured.

A Church in q Mole.

An extraordinary incident has occurred
near one of the mining districts of SiIe-
sia Germany. About five O'Clock in the
morning the inhabitants of the little town
of Kupferberg were awakened by noise
like clap Of thunder. The people ran
into the streets. which they found full
of dust. It was soon discovered that a
church which had been built only few
months had disappeared, and the spot
where it had stood was transformed into
a large circular hole. Some miners en-
deavored to explore the hole, but were
compelled to retire owing to the presence
Of noxipus gases. Nor could its depth be
ascertained. inasmuch as no rope was at
hand long enough to reach the bottom

Hansen's Stere oneMontgom-
cry Street Visited
Last Night.
PREFERENCE FOR REVeLysRs
Overlooked Articles of Greater
Wriggled Through
Iron Bars.

For the past few weeks the police Of
jersey City have beeo puzzled with COM
plants of burglary evidently committed
by boy. The y5ung scamp of a preda-
tory genius has managed to wriggle
through holes and narrow places where
even a cat would find it difficult to en-
ter. The latest complaint against this
juvenile Peace comes from Richard Han
sen, of No. SO Montgomery street, whose
stationery and gun store was entered last
night.
When the shopmen opened the store
this morning they found the cash drawer
open and the loose change, amounting
to about two dollars, gone. Muddy foot
prints of a boys shoes led them TO the
rear of the store where they found on
the floor heap of small tools which Mr.
Hansen was in the habit of carrying in a
satchel. The satcheI was gone. At the rear
end is a large case which up to last night
contained about two dozen revolvers OF
the finest workmanship. Everyone of
these was missing. Adjoining the case
was one containing gold pins. fountain
pens and other valuable articles which
were not even disturbed.
A case filled with mathematical instru-
ments was untouched and other articles
of value were left untouched From this
fact and the footprints the shopman ar
rived at the conclusion that. it was a boy
who done it,
The next question was, how did he get
in? None of the locks on the doors were
touched, but on closer examination the
clerks found that the entry had been
made from window in a lavatory at the
rear end of the store. This window was
closed last night and is protected (0
by heavy iron bars, which come down to
about eight inches from the sash. Through
this space the boy burglar had crawled.
He had made his way through the vacant
lots in the rear, where building is in pro-
gress. On the ground outside of the win
dow footprints similar TO those in the
store were seen. The property taken
amounts in value to about $3.50
OF course the police were reticent
about the burglary and had thousand
theories and clues; the boy would be in
custody in a few hours and the revolyers
found. But none of these have come to
anything. The pawnbrokers in the city
have had no revolvers presented to them
for loans and the boy is still at large.

MR.. RUTENBRRG's FAST HORSE.
Goes TEN Blocks in Two Hours So
He Returns IL To Its First OWNER.

While the storm was at its height yes
terday afternoon, and it was as dark as
London streets on a moist day, man
stole quietly up to the home of Jake
Dranow at No sos Grand street. and
stealthily tying horse, which he led by
rope, to Dranow's fence posts quickly
took his departure.
An hour later the animal was found by
Patrolman Gonzer. He called Dranow out
but he disclaimed ownership The patrol
man, after looking vainly for an ownAs
for the horse finally took it to Nelson's
stables, where it will feed at the city's
expense until it is claimed by someone.
Usually when an animal is left at a
particular place it is with reason. A re-
porter investigated and found out why
the horse was tied in front of Dranow's
house.
1t appear that on July 13-lucky day-he
sold the animal to HarryRutenberg. of
No. SIG Garfield avenue, for SSO5O, but
bade the bill out for s33 so that Ruten-
berg could speculate if he so desired.
Dranow guaranteed the animal to be free
from all bad traits. He laid particular
stress on the fact that 1t was not given
to baking. Rutenberg paid for his pur-
chase with $3.50 in cash and a check for
S25. On his way home he alleges that it
took him just two hours to drive the
horse from Johnston and Pacific avenues
TO Bramhall. He spent the next two hours
in getting back to Dranow's house. He
insisted on returning the horse and get
ting his money back. but Dranow refused
to agree to any such proposition. He said
he had no further use for the horse. Rut-
enberg could keep it and he wished him
joy with it.
Gutenberg promptly stopped the SIS
check and has made frequent demands
for the $3.50 Failing to get any satisfac-
tion from Dranow, he consulted his friend
Judge Lowy. That sage advised him tlsa~
he was stuck on a horse trade which
he clearly knew, and advised him that the
least he said about it the better it would
be for his reputation for shrewdness.
But don't know what to do with the
BEAST said Gutenberg. Il don't mind
losing the five dollars if I could only lose
the horse as WELL
Why don't you leave it at Dranow's
house, then?" suggested his Honor.
That is the story or how the poor ami
NAL came to be abandoned in the storm
