of the fact that Senor Llraan tour bears
important data on the situations it
affects Mexico and the United Slates

veyed to President Diaz, -. . .

' speedy settlement of the dispute be

the Stats Department over whether Ed
win Blatt and Lawrence Converse, two
-Americans,, were arrested by Mexican
officials on American or Mexican soil,
Senor de la Barra and Mr, Huntington
Wilson, Acting Se;retary of State have
practically agreed to expedite the ne-
. gotiationa bearing on the case, . , : -Both
Governments are desirous ' of
having the matter settled without delay

El Paso, March 21 According to re
ports received from what are ' consider
ed unquestionable sources interference
with the activity of business peop'e are
growing in Northern Mexico to such an
extent that thousands of . non-comba:
tints, including many Americans, are
leaving the country.
Americans are allowed to depart free
ly, but not without being detained by
armed men an J, in some instances, de
prived of their valuables. Cattle and
horses are taken without regard to own
ership. It is. given out that depreda
tions are not countenanced by the inaur
recto army, but are performed by a law
less element.
American cattlemen who have come
to the border report that 100,000 head
of cattle which had been contracted for
by the United States from Mexico in
April will be prevented by the insurrec
tos from being brought apross.
A report that there had been a fight
near Casas Grandes, that Col. Rabago,
the federal commander, had been cap
tured by the insurrectos in a canyon
called Chocolate Pass, and that the in
surrectos bad agreed that the Mexico
Northwestern Railroad was to be open
ed th Juarez as soon as Casas Grandes
was taken by the insurrectos reached
here, but was not confirmed.
Catches Large Rock.
A large rock fish weighing more than
12 pounds was caught a few miles down
Neuse river yesterday morning by a
local fisherman in a very peculiar man
ner. The fisherman had started down
the river to place his nets, and in some
way one of them dropped overboard
and being heavily weighted bt gan to
sink at once. The owner of the net
began to pull it back into the boat and
foun 1 that it had meshed the fish'. The
member of the finny tribe was doubt
less hibernating in that vicinity when
the net fell overboard and when it de

Tha "Green Flash" at 8unst
A correspondent writes that during
the course of a voyage when midway
between Marseilles and the strait of
Bonifacio a "green flash"-was seen at
sunset. The sky was perfectly clear
after a cloudless doy, with little wind.
As the sun approached tbe horizon tne
line 'twixt sen and sky for about forty-
Ave. degrees each side of the sun be
came suffused with a rich dull rose
pink, and tho waves reflected a mar
relous ruby shade on their surfaces
facing the sunset, while (he other
faces were an opalescent blue or green
from the upper sky. The two colors
flashed and changed lu a marvelous
way. - Such Intensity of coloring had
never been seen by those on board.
The sun set clean into the sea, and
about ten (or less) seconds after It bad
disappeared a bright green single flash.

Of all the diseases caused by germs,
catarrh is one of the most persistent

but only by destroying the germs.

the germs The HYOMEI" method is
the only sensible method, because you
breathe the highly antiaeptie and germ
killing air directly over the entire mora
bran infested with catarrh germs
IIYOMEI will cure- catarrh. There
may be some complicated casea where
it will fail, but the chances are ten to
one in its favor, and the sufferer from
catarrh takes no risk, because HYOMEI
is a guaranteed remedy, and if it dosen't

But How Far Can He Go Ts Puz
.--..sling The Presi
dent. Wasbingten, March 22 The tentative
Ways and ; Means Committee of the
next House is even now framing tariff
reforms jn the textile schedules, and to
these probably will be added bills on
farm implements, sugar and meats.
The President realizes that these bills
will be passed at -the- extra session anr)
he will take up at the Cabinet meeting
the question of how far his administra
tion can go at this time in impressing
the idea of tariff revision downward on
the country as a Republican instead of a
Democratic policy. He has summoned
Prof. Emery, head of the Tariff Com
mission, to conference. If the commis
sion can report on any schedu'e at this
time, the President will recommend a
revision do wo ward.
In any event it will be made plain in
the message to the extra session that
the Administration is in sympathy with
a downward revision on many sched
ules.. . One solid week of uninterrupted dis
cussion of the revision of the tariff it
the work which the tentative Commis
sion on Ways ' and Means has cut out
for itself, Early and late the Demo
cratic members of the tariff-making
body will struggle with schedues. They
hope that the by next Saturday they
will have their programme of reductions
in such shape that they may immediate
ly resume the committee-making por
tion of their work.

Among the eaies heard by the Mayor
yesterday was one . wherein three ne
groes; Oscar White, Dave Bryan and
Charles Slade were accused of robbing
from another negro. Ed Moore, one
hundred and fifteen dollars. - '!
Moore had been to the West End lot
sale Wednesday, Feeling pretty good
from the effect of a liberal libation of ,
bug juice and the knowledge of possess
ing a tidy little sum of money he proud
ly if indiscreetly exhibited his roll to
anyone who was interested enough to
take notice., The three negroes, just
mentioned became very much interested
nd followed Moore home, wbere one of
them bantered Wm fori a wrestlo and
while the tussle was in progress anoth
er removed the pocket book from
Moore's pocket. The other negro who
was sitting on a dray acted as a 'fence.'
. Moore reported his lost to police
headquarters,; Officer . Foscue was de
tailed to work up the case and he used
cmsiderable adroitness and expedition
in detecting the robbers. .Each one of
them was arrested separately and apai t
and one knew not what the others had
told. .' vf t .,-- v,r-, 'r
When they realized that they were in
the toils of the law they were anxious
to make restitution to their victim.
This, of coarse, they could not do at
tbe time so they gave Officer Foscue
the money, at least, $90 of It. The rest
! of it was not accounted for.
Mayor McCarthy held all throe in
bonds of $300,00 each for appearance at
he next term of Superior Court for
Craven County, in default of which they
were sent to jail.
