SOMETHING ABOUT TREATIES.

SOMETHING ABOUT TREATIES.
The Clayton. Bulwer treaty, which
has been brought into notice by agi-
tation of the Nicaragua canal scheme
and the recent enactment OF the nay
Psunceforte treaty, carried provi'
sions in it which made compulsory the
entire neutrality in times OF war and
peace Of any isthmian canal which
should be constructed. This became
very obnoxious to Americans, and
particularly those who were trm al
yocates of the Monroe doctrine. This
Government contended, and With
successful issue, that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty was extinct, and the
easy scquiesenee by the English gov
eminent to this contention was dem
onstrsted in her willingness TO enter
into a new treaty. Hence the erea'
ton Of the Hsy-Paunceforte docu'
ment. In the latter England lost
little and America gained equally as
small a portion, certainly nothing
like what was contended for ; and the
new treaty is practically q re'enact-
ment of the old, slightly modified.
Unless Congress at its next session
though it may even now be too late
shall take the matter out of the hands
of the Administration, this Govern
ment, as for as all practical purposes
are concerned, will be IS much hand
icspped in building an isthmisn canal
as IL the Clayton Bulwer treaty were
alive.

81, 900, 900 annually for the purpose OF
providing arms, ordn stores. quar-
termaster stores and camp equipage for
issue to the militia. This appropria-
tion is to be apportioned under the di-
rectlon of the secretary of war among
the several states and territories, ac-
cording to the number of representa-
tives each is entitled in the federal
congress.
1t is further provided that the pur-
chase or manufacture of arms, ordi-
nance stores, quartermaster stores, and
camp equipage for the militia shall be
10 ad e under the direction of the secre-
tary of war, as such arms, stores or
equipage are now provided for the use
of the regular army. They are to be
the property of the United States, but
to be distributed to the different gov
ernors and be annually accounted for.
The adjutaut generals almost with
out exception strongly urge the pas
sage of the bill, but equally strong OPP
position is expected from the direc-
tion of the regular army, because of
the fact that the measure will place
the guard on the same footing as the
regular army in regard to its equipage
and armament.

SHOT IN THE LEG
A Mexican Boy Wounded In a Fierce
Amdten Battle Sunday After
noon. Taken To the Smelter
Hospital

A juvenile race war came TO relieve
the Sabbath stiffness OF the fourth
ward in the vicinity OF Sunset Heights.
yesterday with the accompa niments
of lovely lawns, and streets of asphalt
| and shaded drives, which are to be the
glory of the Ell Paso of the future,
though not there yet. But 10 their place
| there are plenty of sand hills, with an
| occasional brick pile, all of which
make an ideal battlefield.
The engagement opened at two in
| the afternoon with an attack by a scout
ing party of young Americans, six In
number, who signslly routed detach-
| ment of youthful Rurales. The Mex
leans retreated to the railroad track
for reinforcements.
They came back in force, and this
vantage over the force OF Americans.
A hassy council of war was held by the
latter, and rush order to the ordnance
manufacturers resulted in net gain
of au air gun and an ak.
With this additional heavy artillery,
an attack was made in force on Brick
pile Kopje, the key to the Mexican
position. The battle cry was IRE
10 ember the Alamo" but the descend
ants of Crockett seemed to remember
their own safety as well, and they were
compelled to abandon the Kopie, and
recross the Tugels acequia, the man
with the air gun valiantly leading the
retreat.
A lineal descendant of Lord Roberts
then appeared to take command, and,
by an application OF the elementary
principles OF strategy, hanked the
Mexicans, and took the kopje and the
Mexican laager-or all that was left In
an old beer keg. The scout who had
been stationed to Spion the Kop called
''police," and it was all off.
Lady Smith no. only was relieved,
but the mothers OF the young Ameri-
cans also were relieved by the result
OF the battle, with none of them hurt.
The young MeXicans were not SO
fortunate. A young boy was shot in
the leg by an air gun, carried by
Ernest Fichuer. The boy was taken to
the smelter hospital, where his wound
was dressed by DR.. Schuster. At the
hospital il was stated that the hoy was
getting along we'll and that his name
was not known nor WAS it Known who
his parents were. His uncle is Maxi
miamo Enreques.

Bethule railway bridge over Orange
River. The bridge is partially de-
stroyed and the enemy is holding the
opposite bank. Gatacre's advance
from Colesberg to the river has pro-
baby been unopposed. The statement
that the Beers are holding the north
bank of the river indicates that they
have surrendered sll intention of op-
posing British and colonial territory,
preferring to meet them at the river
crossings.
'With General Clements at 'Norval's
