Stables returned yesterday from Mexico.
Mr.. Christopher took a party OF capital
lists down into Sonora but they were de-
tanned at the line by the Mexican de-
putty collector who was acting in the
absence Of the regular official. He was
finally persuaded to allow them to cross
for two days which only gave them time
to visit a ranch in the vicinity, when
they were compelled to return. The
deputy collector based his actions on
what he claimed to be the law on the
subject. He was entirely wrong as the
law provides that one may cross on a
ten days pass. The deputy collector at
Buenos Ayres had issued such a pass to
Mr.. Christopher, who was compelled to
return in ten days from trip which
should have kept him out month.
