 it's slipping along the polished surface of the. tusk was wrapped, it being further secured by the .incisions that had previously been made in the tooth. When these prelimiaares had been completed, the tusk was wrenched of by means of the rope and tackle, the animal helping out by sitting down on it's hind quarters, at the same time believing for the pain oc- cassioned; the tusk extracted is fully eighteen inches long. After the ex- traction the walls of the alveolar cav. ity were washed with strong solu- tion of creoline, an antiseptlc, and the cavity was dressed with a solution of perchloride of iron to stop the slight hemorrhage that had set in. The cavity will be further treated tomor- row and the animal will be ready to go out on the road in few days.

Preliminary surveys are finished and approyed by the Mexican government. Locating suryeyes are underway and building material Is arriving daily.

 Mexican Herald: The consignment of fish secured by the Sierra Madre llne from the United States fish com mission to stock the Piedras Verdes river near Casas Grandes, arrived yes terday. They were taken down the line this morning by General Traffic Manager J. T. Logan, accompanied by an employe of the fish commission, who came from Washington in charge. The intention of the Sierra Madre line is to have near El Paso as fine a fishing resort as any one can desire. The Pledras Verdes river is one of the prettiest in the picturesque Sierra Madres. It rolls through deep, rocky mountain gorges and caiions for dis tance of l25 miles and will make an ideal resort when we'll stocked for the disciples of Isaac Walton.
 Two Republics: Since the depar- ture of Count de Herschel de Minerbi, italian Minister to Mexico, several months ago, owing to indispositioD, Italy has been worthily represented here by the British minister, Sir Henry Neville Derring But yester- day this order of things was changed, owing to the arrival, over the Mexican Central, of a fully accredited diplo- matic representative of Italy, Count Maglians. The minister had intend ed to make tour of the United States before coming to Mexico, but at New York he received telegram from his government instructing him to proceed forthwith to Mexico, for the purpose of looking after the Italian laborers who came to work on the construction of the Veracruz and raclnc railway ana who struck w0rk owing to disagreements with the management of that enterprise.

Lost Sixty Families.

Seven days ago sixty -four families from

journey westward. They had learned OF

Turkey Promises

CoNsrANriNopLE, April 23 The porte

American missionaries under the same
conditions as in the case of other foreign
subjects.
The United States legation joined the
other embassies in protesting against the
increase of import duties the reply to the
notification Of the porte, asserting that the
United States government expects to be
previously consulted with regard to any
changes.
The porte has not yet replied TO the last
collective note, but the changed tone OF
the Ottoman officials leads to belief that
settlement has been reached in CON
formity with the demands of the foreign
representatives. II is now fully expected
that the porte will invite the embassies
to discuss the proposed changes.
There is the greatest interest in politi-
cal circles regarding the attitude of the
United States in the indemnity claim,
and it is believed that the powers having
similar claims will support American &C.

Lew Wallace Defends the Sultan

In discussing the present controversy
between this government and Turkey
relative TO the indemnity asked for the
destruction Of missionary buildings, Gen
Lew Wallace said to Washington Post
representative: 81 think am better ac-
quainted with the Sultan OF Turkey than
possibly any other American, and know
that he is an honest man and | never
knew him to break a promise. Abdul
Hamid is no more to he blamed for the
gross atrocities committed aud the prop

Mckinley would be if the Apaches
should go upon the warpath aud slay the
white settlers, AS they have done in times
past. The acts were perpetrated upon
the Americans, but no American suffered
the loss Of hair. Christians in Turkey

Taylor Not a Fugitive.

Refutatory to the contentious and as
sertions of the democrats to the effect
that Governor Taylor of Kentucky, who
has been in Washington and New York
was evading an indictment said to have
been found against him in Kentucky, we
give the following from Ex-Governor
Bradley Of that state; II have had no
communication with Governor Taylor
since he went TO Washington. The press,
notice. states that he is there preparing
his case for the supreme court. am sat
is6ed that this is not true Governor
Taylor went to Washington on purely
personal business, not connected III any
way with the trial of his case. Nor do |
believe the report to be true that he is in
New York attempting to prevent the
honoring of a requisition for his return
to this state. As to whether requisiton
could be lawfully issued by Mr.. Beck
ham, or would be recognized. it is unnec.
essary for me to express an opinion, as
these are questions that must he deter
mined by the authority upon whom such
a requisition may be made.
Governor Taylor has publicly de.
clared that he was not and would never
be fugitive from justice, and that il in,
dicted he would respect the law and meet
his accusers face to face. Therefore there
remains but one course open to him, and
that is TO return as soon as he can, walk
boldly and bravely into court and mee'
the indictment like man. Any othei
course would be rank injustice not onl,
to himself, but to those of his friends
who have been accused Of so foul crime
, | do not know whether an indictment ha
been found against Governor .Tayl lor, bu
If il has have no doubt that he vii
promptly surrender himself into th'
hands Of the law, and believe that an,
intination to the contrary does him al
injustice

ing secretaries will do likewise, as it is
| recognized that General Rivera exerts a
powerful influence, Other secretaries
who have been seen, however, say that
the resignation OF the secretary Of agri-
culture will not affect them. They give
II as their belief that the national party
will be benefited by General Rivera s
resignation, as his official position has
hampered his usefulness as canpaigner.
In the course OF the interview General
Rivera informed Governor General Wood
that he had not mean: any personal dis
courtesy, but that he is Of the opinion
that he would prefer to be untranmeled
by office, so that he might speak out his
mind on political matters without EN-.
barrassing the government.
La Lucha says that the electoral law
insures honesty, equity and rapidity and
has won the approval of the people.
The Nacion aisC heartily endorses the
electoral law,
Senior Pierra, one of the leaders of the
democratic union party, has written let.
ter to the newspapers in which he says
that the policy OF the party in wishing
the Cubans to elect an advisory BOARD to
represent them during the period Of in
tervention is a most sensible policy. as
he declares it is doubtful whether the
coming municipal elections will demon
strate the capacity of the Cubans for
lfgovcrnnent. As a consequence the
United States would wait until the Gu
bans should give better proof Of being
able to govern themselves. !.
