A POLITICAL LEADER DEAD.-

Samuel

tT. Tilden Unexpectedly Passes Aicay-at Ills Greystonc Home.-

YORK , August 4. Hon. Samuel J.-

Tilden.

died peacefully atGreystone at 8:45-o'clock

this morning. Therewere present-with him Drs. Simonds and Swift and his-niece , Miss Gould. His death was entirely-unexpected and was caused by the failure-ot the heart , following an acute attack of-

diarrhoea and nausea. As soon as the news-was received In New York the flags of publicj-

ljl buildings and newspapers weredisplayeda-thalfmast , and expressions of regret wero-hoard from all quarters at tho death of the-eminent statesman. He had not been feel-ing

well for several days.-The

news spread very rapidly. The news-paper

offices bulletined it early, and so it-was soon'scattered broadcast. Expres-sions

of sorrow were heard on all sides and-from all parties of political faith at the-loss the country has sustained. Though-it was known Tilden had been in bad-healthv-

for some time past , his death was-not being looked for. Coining so suddenlyit was quite a shock to the community.

Business men of this city lost no time in-paying tribute to the statesman's memorv-by displaying flags at half mast. Everybuilding of prominence down town had its-flags lowered. Flags were also displayed-at half mast on all public buildings. There-were no unusual scenes at Tilden's hand-eoine

residence in Gramercy park to-day ,and ns yet no evidences of the death of its-owner are displayed on the building. The-curtains and windows remain just as theyhave been since Tilden left for his mansion-

.Governor.

Hill issued the following proc-lamation

I announce tothepeople of tho state with-sincere regret the death of Samuel J. Til-den.

. After a long and active career devo-ted

to the public good and the rendition of-

arduous and conspicuous services in behalf-of the people , he this morning peacefully-passed an-ny at his chosen retreat at Grey-stone

-, on the banks of the Hudson. The-

country loses one of its ablest statesmen-and the state of New York one of her fore-most

citizens. He was twice representative-in the state legislature , a member of two-constitutional conventions , governor of-

the state two years , and in 1876 was can-didate

of one of the greatest parties of the-country , and received therefor the electoral-vole of his native state and upon a popu-lar

vote was declared the choice of a ma-jority

of the voters of the United States.-As

.a private citizen and in every public-

station , he was pure and upright and dis-charged

every trust with conspicuous fidel-ity.

. His last public utterance which at-tracted

public attention exhibited thosnme-spirit of unselfish patriotism which chara -terized his whole career , and was in behalf-of strengthening the defense of the countryhe loved so well. It is meet that the close-of such a life should be marked with more-than a passing notice. The legislature be-ing

in bession at the time , 1 commend to-the people of the state such expression ol-respect for his long, faithful and honorable-services as they deem appropriate.-

, therefore , it is directed as a mark-of regard for the distinguished dead that-the flags upon the capitol and all public-buildings of the state , including armories-and arsenals of the national guard , be dis-played

ntlmlf mast until and including the-day of the funeral , and the citizens of the-state for a like period are requested to-unite in appropriate tokens of respect.-

WASHINGTON

., D. C. , August 4. The news-

of the death of Mr. T/lden was received in-

this city soon after 9 o'clock this uiorning-and spread rapidly over tho city. ' As the-announcement of the death had not been-preceded by any news of his serious illness-it created general surprise. The president-heard of the death about half-past nine-and at once sent the following telegram of-sympathy to Mr. Tilden's nephew :

EXECUTIVE MANSION , August 4. To Col-.Samuel

.J. Tilden , Yorkers , N. Y. : I have-

this moment learned of the sudden death-of your illustrious relative , Samuel J. Til-den

, and hasten to express my individual-sorrow in an event by which the state of-

New York has lost her most distinguished-son and-the nation one of its wisest and-most patriotic counsellors.-

ROVER CLEVELAND-.Most

.of the cabinet officers called at the-

executive mansion this afternoon to see the-president in relation to matters connected-with their respective departments , and the-death of Mr. Tilden was a subject of gen-eral

conversation between the president-and his advisors. They all expressed re-gret

and sorrow at the sudden removal of-

a man whom they all regarded as the great-leader of the democratic party. At tbe-capitol democratic senators and represen-tatives

expressed the highest regard for Mr-.Tilden and accorded him an exalted place-in history. Among republicans there was-no disposition to criticise the dead states-man

, and they snoko of him as a leader of-

integrity and ability and a good citizen.BIOGRAPHICA-

L.Samuel

J. Tilden was born at New Le-

banon¬

, in the state of New York , in 1814.-He

is descended from an old and highly-honorable family , the remotest member of-

whom he has any positive knowledge being-one Nathaniel Tilden , who was mayor ol-

Tenterden , Kent , England , in 1623. This-gentleman! ) removed with his family to-America in 1(534( , and settled at Scituate ,

Mass. Mr. Tilden's father was a thrifty-merchant of New Lebanon , who , on ac-

count¬

of his integrity and good sense , espe-cially

on political matters , was admitted-to terms of intimacy with Martin Van Bu-ren.

. His mother was descended from Wil-liam

Jones , lieutenant governor ot the col-

of New Haven , and reputed to be ason-of Colonel John Jones , one of the regicide-judges of Charles L , whose wife was a sister-of Oliver Cromwell. In his eighteenth year-Mr. . Tilden entered Yale college , where he-

pursued his studies with such indefatigable-zeal that his health gave way , and he was-compelled to drop out of the course. As soon-as he had sufficiently recovered he resumed-his studies at the University of New York ,

where he was graduated in 1834. He was-

then a young man of only twenty years.-He

subsequently read law , and while a-

student in the office of John W. Edmunds-in New York wrote several articles on the-political situation. One of these was in-

defense of President Van Buren's policy-.It

.caused considerable discussion in the-

newspaper world , especially so as the presi-dent

was conjectured to have written it.-

soon as he had been admitted to the-

bar Mr. Tiiden opened an office of his own-

in Pine street in New York city. Although-embarked in professional life of a kind-

which called for the most arduous applica-tion

, lie did not lose his interest in politics.-He

continued to express his opinions-through the press , and occasionally spoke-at political meetings. As soon as the-presidential campaign of 1844, in which-

James K. Polk was a candidate , had fairly-opened. . Mr. Tilden founded the New York-

Daily News , in connection with John O'Sul-

livan.

. The following year he was sent to-

the assembly from the city of New York ,

and elected ns a delegate to the convention-which was to revise the constitution of the-

state. . Tbe estrangement between the-

friends of Mr. Polk and Mr. Van Buren in-

consequence of the elections of.84G caused-Mr.. Tilden to retire from politics and-continue his attention to the law. ThisT-

V as a fortunate move , without which his-

subsequent success and fame ns a lawyer-conld never have been achieved. He imme-diately

began a series of triumphs actheba-which gave him great reputation. Among-the moro notable cases in which he was suc-

cessful¬

may be mentioned that of F.'agg vs.-

Giles.

; Burdell vs. Cunningham , a famous-will case , and that of the Pennsylvania-Coal company vs. the Delaware & Hudson

Coal company. It is no exaggeration to-say that from 1845 up to time he retired-from professional life , one-half tho great-railway corporations north of the Ohio-and between the Hudson and Mississippi-had been his clients. For some time pre-ceding

tho war ho was tho confidential ad-viser

of Dean Richmond , tho leader .of the-democratic party in tho state of New York.-He

.was elected governor of New York in

1874 , and was nominated to the presi-dency

in 1876. The result of the election-being disputed led to tho appointment of-

the electoral commission , under whose de-

cision¬

tho republican candidate was peace-fully

inaugurated.-Since

that time Mr. Tilden has lived in-

retirement , with the exception of an occa-sional

appearance in public.-

FOR THE OTHER SIDE.-

Prosecution In tho Case of lluf Anarchist *

Through With Testimony.-In

the trial of the anarchists at Chicago ,

on the morning ot the 31st , the court room-was crowded as usual. The first part , ol-

the session was taken up in the reading of-

articles in the Arbeiter-Zeitung , which ap-

peared¬

before the massacre , urging working-men

to arm themselves and advocating tho-

use of dynamite. _ The issue of April 2 re-

ferred¬

to tho street car strikes in New York-and Brooklyn , in which it was stated that-the month of May mightbring about many-things undreamed of that day , and the-

workingmen wero called to buy arms as the-

1st of May was coining. April 27said that-police and soldiers must be met with armies-of workingmen , and whoever of these had-not money to buy arms wero called upon-to sell their watches and chains and buy-them. . The issue of April 30 spoke of the-secret orders the police had received for the-trouble expected pn the following Satur-day.

. May 1 called on comrades to destroy-all rolls of membership and minute books ,

and to clean their breech-loaders and armthemselves.-

There.

was lots of other matter of this-kind read , after which Detective Bonfield-was recalled. He had searched the Ar-

beiter-

Zeitung office and found a number ot-

banners. . These banners werebrought into-court and placed in evidence. Most ol-

them were red. The mottoes wero peculiar-and tho witness read them off. When-called upon the witness testified that ho-

found the banners in the Arbelter Zeitung-building in the small room that was used-as a library. The prosecution then rested-

.Captain.

Black and the other attorneys-for the defense said they would like the-court to instruct the jury to bring in a ver-dict

of not guilty in regard to Oscar Neebe-.There

was no case against Neebe , and.noth-ing

in the evidence to show that he'tvas in-

anyway connected with tho massacre on-

Hay market square May 4-

judge , after listening to the counsel-for some time , said he was not inclined to-interfere in the case at all.-

. Solomon then made the openin-gstatement for the defense. He presented-his case in a clear and concise form. He-claimed that the defendants were not on-

trial for being socialists or anarchists.-They

simply belonged to an organization-which was opposed to tho existing laws of-

society. . They ere charged with the mur-der

of Officer Dugan , but the throwing of-

the bomb was not contemplated by them-and they could not be held liable as con-spirators.

. On this principle it might bo-

held that they were accessories to the man-who threw the bomb. If this principle-could not be proven they could not bo held-as accessories. Mr. Solomon said they ex-

pected¬

to prove that FiMden fired no shots-and never owned a pif to' , that Neebe was-was in no way concerned , that Spies-did not fire the fuse, that Gi-lmar

lied , and that Lingg was at-home on the night of May 4. They also-proposed , he said , to show that Engel was-at home on that night , and that none ol-

the defendants knew anything about bomb-throwing.. The meeting at Haymarket-square was a peaceable one and was held-under the right of American citizens to dis-cuss

topics of the day. The police went-there with an express purpose of killing-some of those men. The defense expects ..to-

show that the bomb thrower was a crank-and was not acting under the advice of the-defendants. .

development of new cases of typhoid fever-

within the past twenty-four hours , three of-

the new cases being considered fatal. Two-

physicians are reported ill from over exer-

In this city the rapid spread of the-

epidemic , especially in the part lying south-ofthe Monongahela river , is the occasion-of increasing alarm. The health depart-ment

is doing all it can in abating every-possible case heard of. Many unsatisfac-tory

reasons have been suggested as to the-causes of the affliction which is peculiar in-

the intense suffering of those taken with it-

.There.

have been twenty-two deaths from-various cases reported at the health offic-etoday , much larger than known for some-years past , in the Twenty-fifth ward , and a-

total of 150 cases in the Twenty-fourth to-the Thirtieth ward inclusive , all of which-are on the south side .

PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE AFFIXED.-

Accompanied

With Reasons Why He Signs-the Measure-

.President.

Cleveland has approved the-

oleomargarine bill and sent the following-message to the house notifying that body-of his action , but suggesting some amend-ments

to the measure :

To tyie House of Eeprcsentatives I have-this day approved a bill originating in the-

house of representatives entitled "An act-defining butter , also imposing a tax upon-and regulating the manufacture for sale ,

importation and exportation of oleomar-garine.

. " This legislation has awakened-much interest among the people of the-

country and earnest argument has been-

addressed to the executive for the purpose-of influencing his action thereupon. Many-in opposition have urged its dangerous-character .as tending to break down the-

boundaries between the proper exercise of-

legislative power by federal and state au-thority.

. Many in favor of the enactment-have represented that it promised great-advantages to a large portion of our popu-lation

who sadly need relief , and those on-

both sides of the question whose advocacy-or opposition is based upon no broader-foundation than local or personal interest-have outnumbered all others. This upon-its face and in its main features is a-

revenue bill and was first introduced in the-house of representatives wherein the con-stitution

declares that all bills for raising-revenue shall originate. The constitution-has invested congress with a very wide leg-

islative¬

discretion both as to the necessity-of taxation and selection of the objects of-

its burdens , and though if the question was-presented to me as an original proposition-I might doubt the present need of increased-taxation , I deem it my duty in this in-

stance¬

to defer to the judgmentiof the legis-lative

branch of the government which has-been so emphatically announced in both-houses of congress in favor of the passage-of this bill. Moreover those who desire to-see removed the weight of taxation now-pressing upon the people from other direc-tions

may well be justified in the hope and-expectation that tne selection of an addi-tional

subject of internal taxation so well-

able to bear it , will in consistency be fol-

lowed¬

by legislation relieving our citizens-from other revenue burdens rendered by-the passage of this b.ill even more than-heretofore unnecessary and needlessly op-

pressive.¬

. It lias been urged as an objection-to this measure that while purporting to-be legislation for revenue its real purpose is-

to destroy by nil the use of the taxing-power one industry of our people for the-protection and benefit of another. If enti-tled

to indulge in such a suspicion as a-

basis of official action in this case , and if-

entirely satisfied that the consequences in-dicated

would ensue , I should doubtlessf-eel constrained to impose executive dis-sent

, but I do not feel called upon to inter-pret

the motives of congress other-wise

than by the apparent charac-ter

of the bill which has" been-presented to me , and I am convince-dthat the taxes which it creates cannot pos-sibly

destroy the open and legitimate man-ufacture

and sale of the thing upon which-it is levied if this article has the merit-which its friends claim for it , and if tho-people of the land with full knowledge of its-real character desire to purchase and use-it , the taxes enacted by this bill will per-mit

a fair profit to both manufacturer and-dealer. . If the existence of tho commoditytaxed and the profits of its manufacture-and sale depend upon disposing of it to the-people for something else which it deceit-fully

imitates , the entire enterprise is a-fraud and not an industry , and if it can-not

endure the exhibition of its real char-acter

, which will be effected by the inspec-tion

, supervision and stamping which this-bill directs , the sooner it is destroyed the-better in the interest of fair dealing. Such-a result would not furnish the first instance-in the history of legislation in which a rev-enue

produced a benefit which was merelyincidental to its purpose. There is certain-ly

no industry better entitled to the inci-dental

advantages which may follow this-legislation than our farming and dairy in-terests

, and to none of our people should-they be less begrudged than our farmers-and dairymen. The present depression of-

their occupations , the hard , steady and-often unremunerative toil which such occu-pations

exact , and the burdens of taxation-which our agicnlturists necessarily bear , en-title

them to every legitimate considera-tion.

. Nor should there be opposition to-the incidental effect of this legislation on-the part of those who profess to be engaged-honestly and fairly in the manufacture and-sale of a wholesome and valuable article-of food which , by its provisions , maybe subject to taxation. As long-as their business is carried on un-der

cover and by faise pretenses , such men-have bad companions in those whose man-ufactures

, however vile and harmful , take-their place without challenge with the bet-ter

sort in a common crusade of deceit-against the public. But if this occupation-and its methods are forced into the light-and ah these manufactures must either-stand upon their merits or fall , the good-and bad must soon part company and the-fittest only will survive. Not the least im-portant

incident related to this legislation-is the defense afforded to the consumer-against the fraudulent substitution and-sale of an imitation for a genuine article of-

food of very general household use. Not-withstanding

the immense quantity of the-article described in this bill which is sold to-the people for their consumption as food ,and notwithstanding the claim made that-its manufacture supplies a cheap substitute-tor butter , I venture to say that hardly a-pound ever entered a poor man's house-under its real name and in its true characl-ter. . While there should benogovernmenla-regulation

-of what the citizen shall eat , it-

is certainly not a cause of regret if by legi-slation

of this character he is afforded a-means which ho may better protect him-self

against an imposition in meeting the-needs and wants of his daily life. Having-entered upon this legislation it is manifestly-a. . duty to render it as effective as possible-in the accomplishment of all the good-which should necessarily follow in its train.-This

.leads to the suggestion that the article-

proposed to be taxed and the circumstances-which subject it thereto should be clearly-and with great distinctness defined in the-statement. . It seems to me that this object-hasnotbeen wholly attained in the phrase-ology

of the second section of the bill , and-that a question may well arise as to the-precise condition the article to be taxed-must assume ? in order to be regarded as-made in imitation or semblance of butter ,or when so made , calculated or intended-to be sold as butter , or for butter. The-fourteenth and fifteenth sections of the bill-in my opinion are in danger of being con-strued

as an interference with the police-powers of the states. Not being entirely-satisfied of the constitutionality of these-provisions , and regarding them as not be-ing

so connected and interwoven with-other sections as if found invalid to vitiate-the entire measure , I have determined to-commend them to the attention of the-house with a view to an immediate amend-ment

of the bill if it should be deemed nec-essary

, and if it ia practicable at this late-day in the session of congress. The fact ,too , that the bill does not take effect by its-terms until ninety days have elapsed after-its approval , thus leaving it but one month-in operation before the next session of-

congress , when , if time does not now per-mit

, the safety and efficiency of the meas-ure

may be abundantly protected by-remedial legislative action , and the desire-to see realized the beneficial results which-it is expected will immediately follow the-inauguration of this legislation , have had

their influence in determining my official-action. . Tho considerations which have-been referivU to will , I hope , justify this-communication and the suggestions which-it contains. GHOVEU CLEVELAN-

DEAD IA' THE DARIC. "

Sioux City the Scene of a Cotcardly Assas-sination.

.A cola blooded and cowardly assassination-

occurred In Sioux City on the night of Aug.-

, Rev. Gco. C. Haddock being the victim-.About

nine o'clock Mr. Haddock, accompan-ied

by Rev. C. C. Turner pastor of the Wii.t-field M. E. church , called at Merrill's liven-stable, on Water street , and got a horse an 1-

bugsy for the purpose of driving to Green-ville , just across tbe Floyd , cast of tbe city-They were absent about an hour. At 10 o'clock-Mr.. Haddock returned to the stable with tin *

horse and buggy, being alone at tbat time-After delivering the animal to the hostler ,

Tom Jarvis , Mr. Haddock started to go out-of the stable , but noticing several men-standing on the sidewalk opposite , he-

turned and asked Jarvis if "anybody was lay-

for him , " laughing pleasantly as he asked-the question. Jarvis replied that he knew of-

no one who bad any such Intention. At this-Mr.. Haddock started , but over the crossing of-

"Water street, on the south side of Fourth , a-

shot was heard and be dropped his cane , ami ,

staggering foward in a direction slightly south-of east , fell on the walk as above stated-.Jack

Ryan , Superintendent of Markets , was-

In the door of Dan O'Connell's'saloon when-the shot was fired and saw Haddock, who was-

between himself and the gaslight at the-

Columbia house corner, stagger toward the-sidewalk. . He at once went to him and al-

though¬

the wounded man breathed at least-five minute * after he fell he did not attempt to-

speak. . Ryan got some water and washed the-

blood from his face and was there when the-

crowd began to collect-.After

the shooting Officer Henry Jlcitfelt-picked up a murderous looking billey in the-street near-where the shooting occurel. It-is made of the wheel of a pulley , such as are-

used In heavy barn doors , to which Is at-

tached¬

a stiff rope handle. There is no evi-

dence¬

that this weapon was used , as the shot-did its work effectively and well-

.From.

all appearance, the case Is one of pre-

meditated¬

murder, and the circumstances go-

to show that the parties were aware of the trip-taken by Mr. Haddock and armed and sta-tioned

themselves in convenient positions to-

attack him on his return.-An

overflowing public meeting was held in-

Sioux City to take action with refer-ence

to the murder of Mr. Haddock , speeches-were made'by S. Lothrop. A. L. Hudson , E.-

. Hubbard , Geo. D. Perkins , John Brennan-and others. The following resolutions fully-setting forth the spirit and purpose of the-meeting were adopted :

WHEREAS , The circumstances surroundingthe murder of Rev. Geo. C. Haddock are of-such a public nature and interest as to demand-an expression of the public concerning it ;therefore-oltesoh'cd , That we will leave no measure un-tried

to secure the apprehension and punish-ment

of the perpetrators of this crime , and to-this end ask that a copy of these resolutions be-forwarded by the secretary of this meeting to-the Governor with a request that he offer as-lance a reward as the law will allow for the ar-rest

of the offender ; also that a committee of-five be appointed by the chairman of this meet-Ins

-to solicit subscriptions for a citizens' re-

ward¬

, to be offt-red for the same purpose.-Resolved

., That while we do not lay to the sa-

loons¬

of this city nor to the owners thereof-collectively or individually the charge of di-rect

participation In the commission of the-crime , nor of the intended encouragement-thereof , yet we recognize the fact and charge-to that all the circumstances leading up to the-killing of Rev. Mr. Haddock show that his mur-der

is the work of a spirit born and nurtured-in the saloon , the spirit of lawlessness and the-spirit of violence.-

Sesolved.

, That we recognize the right of all-citizens to agitate and labor for therepeal of-obnoxious laws , but this must not be done by-opposing or seeking to nullify laws unre-pealcd.-

Resolved.

, That we recognize In the saloon ,the gambling house and the house of prostitu-tion

the fruitful and fostering power of crinv ,and we demand that henceforth it must be-

distinctly understood bv all classes that the-laws of the State , including those relating to-

the above evils , shall be enforced , and tolhis-we pledge our influence , our services and ourmeans.-

Resolved.

, That while we sympathise with-foreigners coming to this country , bavins ne-

ouliar vieus not in accordance with the s'piri-tnndg niusof ourin tituti > ns , yet the only safe-ty

to our government is the niamtainance'of our1 : ws , and we .ledare ourselves unalt-rablv in-

fj.vor of enforcing all our laws without fear ,Itvor or (User initiation.-

Resolved.

, That we tender to the family of-

Mr.. Haddock our deep sympathy in their be ¬

reavement.-Resolved

(Col. ) dispatch : The eght hun-dred

Indians at the southern Uto agency-are again in a state of excitement over the-killing by cowboys of two of their number ,

who were ofl the reservation on a rousta-bout

trip througlithe Disappointment-creek region. The news reached the agency-Tuesday by a Navajo courier , and 0. S-

.Merrill.

, of the agency , who is here , reports-that the Indians are indignant and boister-ous.

. The Utes have been discontented "for-

weeks. . A month ago a party numberingin-the vicinity of one hundred left the agencyfor the country to the west and south ,which country is occupied by the cattle-men.

. Their depredations , such as killing-cattle , burning grass , etc. , have been re-ported

from time to time , and a collision-between them and the cowboys has been-pccted daily. In anticipation of such-trouble two companies of soldiers have-been stationed on Disappointment creek-.The

.killing occurred about sixty miles west-

of Durango. The particulars have not-been received , and probably never will be,

as the cowboys keep such affairs a secret-among themselves. Tho Utes at tlieageney-are reported to be in a deplorable condi-tion.

. Disease is fast diminishing their-ranks. . Three years ago they numbered1100. Now they are only eight hundred-strong. . During the past year ibout one-hundred of them have died , while there-have been only fourteen births.

date of July 1 , United States Cpns'u-lBrigham , at El Paso del Norte , forwarded-to the United States Minister Jackson , at-Mexico , a full statement of the facts at-tending

the arrest and imprisonment of-

Cutting and an announcement of his ( Brig-

ham's-

) failure to secure any reply to his-

application for a fair trial or release on-

bail for Cutting. On July G , the United-States minister sought from M. Marescal ,

Mexicna secretary of foreign affairs , tho-

proper relief for Cutting. Tho follow-

day M. Marescal replied that he-

had recommended the governor of Chihua-hua

to see that prompt and full justice-was administered. On July 17 , Consul-Brigham stated that Cutting was still a-

prisoner and nothing had been done for his-

release. . Tho secretary says the imprison-ment

of this American citizen has thus con-

tinued¬

for fully a month without explana-tion

or the prospect of any. lie (Secretary-Bayard ) , on July 19 , addressed a telegram-to Minister Jackson , reciting all tho prece-dent

correspondence and facts , and stating-the legal position assumed by this govern-ment

as a ground for demanding the release-of citizens. Minister Jackson , on July 22 ,

telegraphed the refusal of the Mexican gov-ernment

to accede to the telegraphic de-

mand¬

of Secretary Bayard for Cutting'srelease , which was folio wed by another tele-cram

giving the Mexican reasons. Consul-Brigham , on July 2G , telegraphed that tho-governor of Chihuahua , was pushing tho-trial of Cutting , who ignored tho proceedi-ngs.

. On July 27 the secretary mailed ad-ditional

instructions to Minister Jackson.-The

.secretary , in this letter , refers to tho-

claim of the Mexican minister here , based-on Mexican laws , whereby jurisdiction is-

assumed by Mexico over crimes committed-against Mexicans in the United States ,

or any foreign country , and his con-tention

that under this law the publica-tion

of libel in Texas was made cognizable-and punishable in Mexico. The claim of-

jurisdiction in Mexico was peremptorily-and positively denied by Secretary Bayard ,who declared that the United States would-not absent or permit the existence of such-extra territorial force to be given to Mexi-can

law. "Mr. Romero , " he says , "finally-assured him that Cutting would be released-in a very short time. " Convinced of the-friendly and conciliatory spirit influencing-the Mexican govern men t, the sccretai-y in-

forms¬

the consul that , in his opinion , all-

questions of conflicting interests between-the two governments can , without difficu-lty

, be amicably , honorably and satisfac-torily

adjusted. Inhis report thesecrctary-says , touching the Mexican laws cited by-Mr. . Romero : l'This conflict of law is even-more profound than the literal difference of-

corresponding statutes , for it affects the-underlying principles of security to personal-liberty and freedom of speech , or expres-sion

, which are among the main objects-sought to be secured by our framework of-

government. . Tue present case may con-stitute

a precedent fraught with most seri-ous

results. The alleged offense may be,and undoubtedly in the present case is ,within the United States held out to bo a-misdemeanor , not of a high grade , but in-Mexico may bo associated with-penal results of the gravest char-acter.

. An act may bo created by-Mexican statutes an offense of high grade-which in the United States would not be-punishable in any degree. The safety ol-our citizens and all others lawfully within-our jurisdiction would be impaired if not-wholly destroyed by admitting the power-of a foreign state to definite offenses and-apply penalties to acts committed within-the jurisdiction of the United States. Tho-United States and states composing this-U"5on contain the only forum for trial of-offenses against their laws , and to concede-the jurisdiction of Mexico over Cutting'scase , as it is stated in Consul Brigham's re-port

, would be to substitute the jurisdic-tion

and laws of Mexico for those of tho-United States over offenses committed-solely within the United States bya citizen-of the United States. The offense alleged-is the publication in Texas by a citizen of-the United States of anarticledeemed libel-otis

-and criminal in Mexico. No allegation-

of its circulation in Mexico by Cutting is-

niiide , and no such circulation was practi-cable

or even possible , because the arrest-was summarily made on the same day of-publication in the English language in-Texas , on the coming of the alleged writer-or publisher , into Mexico , and the Mexican-correspondence accompanying M. Mares-cal's

refusal to release Cutting , found-in the accompaniments to Minister-Jackson's dispatch of July 22 ,188G. shows that the one hundred-and eighty sixth article of the Mexican code-is beyond the jurisdiction claimed. Under-this pretension it is obvious that any edi-tor

, or publisher of any newspaper article-within the limits and jurisdiction of the-United States could be arrested and pun-ished

in Mexico if the same were deemed-objectionable to officials of that country-after M xicnn methods of administering-justice , should he be found within those-borders. . Aside from the claim of extra-dition

power thus put forth for the laws of-

Mexico and extending their jurisdiction-over the allt-ged offenses admittedly charged-to have been committed within the borders-of the United States , are to be considere-darbitrary and oppressive proceedings which ,ns measured by the constitutional standard-of the United States , destroy the substance-of the judicial trial and procedure to which-Cutting has been subjected. In trnnsmiti-ng

the document to congress the president ,in a brief communication , says : "As to the-inquiry contained in the resolution 'whether-any additional United States troops have-been recently ordered to Ft. Bliss'I answer-in the negative. "

.special : Thursday last was ,

ns will be remembered , rather a warm day.-The

.most phlegmatic individual could not-

restrain the streams of perspiration which-trickled all over the body. A great , big,

warm-blooded , impressive man , like Sena-

Beck, was bound , under the most-favorable circumstances , to have a tough-time , but Mr.Beck was booked for aspeech-on the Morrison surplus resolution on that-day. . He wanted to free his mind on cer-

tain¬

points , and it was then or never. So ,

up he got , and for about twenty minutes-the words rolled out of his mouth like atorrent. His brawny fist pounded his desk-like the hammer of a blacksmith , and his-massive head shook vigorously and em ¬

phaticallyWhen he had finished he was a-bight, indeed ; his collar had doubled up so-it looked like a narrow piece of wet tape tied-around h's neck. His shirt bosom was-sopping with perspiration. Great patches-came through and exhibited themselves all-over the back of his coat and his face was-ns though a heavy rain had run down it.-

While.

he was thinking how uncomfortable-he felt , a page came and told him Mrs. Beck-was up in hia committee room and wanted-to see him. Wondering what could have-brought her from home "to-day. " he was-surprised , too , to see her taking from a-valise a change of nice cool linen. She told-him she had read in the morning paper ,after he had left home , t hat be was going it-rjugh shod "for tlu finance committee-amendment to the Morrison resolution. "and as she knew the condition he would bo-in , she hastened to the capital with the-change. . It did not take him very long to-strip and wash off the damigeandslip into-his clean linen.
