mainder of this senguinary war and at
the trial of the ex-Emperor Max1m1-
milan, in recognition OF his superior
ability as lawyer, he was appointed by
President Juarez to represent the gov
eminent as prosecuting attorney. For
conspicuous gallantry upon various oc-
casions during the war, he was advaD :
ced TO the rank of colonel and was
awarded an additional medal OF honor.
After the suspension of hostilities,
Col. Azpiroz retired to civil life, and
In 1867 was appointed subsecretary OF
foreign affairs under President Juarez.
In the course OF the five years OF his
service in that capacity, the absolute
control OF the foreign Office repeatedly
devolved upon his shoulders. In 1873,
Col. Azpiroz was appointed government
attorn-y and agent on the Mexican
American commission for mutual re-
clamation, in which important service
he distinguished himself by his rare
tact and ssgacity,
In the year 1873 Col. Azplroz vas

sulste at San Francisco, Cal, and dur

Office of sub-secretary of foreign az
fairs, which Office he held up to the
time of his recent promotion to the
Mexicon embassy at Washington.
Col. Azpiroz is universally taccred1t-
ed as the most eminent authority on
the subject of law that his country has
ever produced. He is q talented writer,
and the author not only of the major
portion of the Mexican federal code
but also of numerous works, treatises
and commentaries on the subject of
jurisprudence and legislative reform.
Personally, Ambassador Azpiroz is q
typical Mexican gentleman OF the old
school. He is possessed Of q command
ing presence, being over feet in
height and of athletic build. His bear
ing, while dignified, is characterized
by an under current of affability which
makes you feel entirely at ease in his
company. He is very fond of 60
ciety. The increasing Importance of the
mutual relations between the United
States and Mexico will render the new
ambassador a conspicuous figure In his
present capacity, and his future dlplo-
matte career will be watched with
great interest by the people OF both
nations.-Globe Democrat.

mediately after the contamination OF
this latter assignment, Col. Azplroz

REDUCED SLEEPER RATES.
Cut Made BY the Great Northern
Met By the pullman Company.

Although President Hill OF the Great
Northern, as result OF pressure
brought TO bear by the directors OF his
company, who are alsO directors In the
Pullman company, has modified his
recent order and announcement that
the sleeping car rate of $3.50 to Paci-
fic coast points would be reduced to
Sl2 instead of $40, IS was
at first announced. the cnt has had the
desired effect on the Pullman people,
and a fight DOW seems 1mm1penb. Inc
Great Northern operates its own sleep
ing car equipment, and the original
cut il said to have been made for the
purpose of affecting the Northern Pa
cific, which uses Pullmans. Contracts
OF the Pullman company with the rail-
roads over which its cars are run spe-
city that sleeping car rates shall be no
higher than those in effect on compel
ing roads. AS soon as the Northern
Pacific's competitor announced Its cut
the road called upon the Pullmans to
reduce their charges. and the Chicago
corporation has notified the Northern
Pacific that its rates will be cut.
In addition to this, the Pullm an
contrary gave notice of a general re-
duction in through berth rates from all
of the principal eastern cities to the
west. The cut will average 81 so q
berth and stste-room prices will go
down about 81. The new Pullman
rates will also apply from New York
to New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis and
Chattanooga: between Chicago and
Portland, Oregon; and Los Angeles,
Cal, and between ST. Louis, ST. Paul,
Omaha, Cansas City, Denver, Ogden.

In some quarters it is believed that
more radical reductions will soon he

Columbus. o, Feb. 27.-The attorney
general Saturday filed suits in the su-

Railroad company and the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroad from the

is claimed that the roads in question
have violated their franchises by form
ing themselves with other roads into
pool known as the Central Passenger
association. whereby the said associa-
ti0n fixes the rates of passenger fare,
and no party to such agreement is per-
mitted to deviate from the rates so
fixed.
Among other things complained of is
the Interchangeable mileage book. 1t is
further charged that the companies
have delegated their power of rate
