THAT.REPUBLIC UNDERGOING PROBATION. Bpectal Dispateh 1o The Tribune. Wasmivorox, D. U, Aug. 27.—Dlaz, befors the revolt against Lerdo, had been stationed on the Rlo Grando frontler and was thoroughly familisr with the troubles between the suthor- itics of tho two countrles growing ont of the depredations that had occurred there, and one of his first alms was to adopt such measurcs as would conciliate the United Mtates, and prevent fature trouble of this nature, With this object i view he called into his Cabinet chicfly men ‘who were friendly to the United States, and ap- polated Senor Matay who tn years past had been ® Minister to this country, as Lis represcntative here. Whon the Presidest did nat at once recoive Mata as the Mintster of Mexico, Diaz apparently construcd this hesitation as unfriendly to his Administration, and {t Is belleved took less in- terest in preventing fnvasions mcross the Rio Granda_ bovder, Depredations became more and more frequent, especfally on the upper Rio Grande and {n the viclvity of Eagle Pazs, and it yas {n response to repeated complaints from that quarter that Gen, Ord was directed to ex- ercise the greatest vigilance, and even to pur- suc marpuders, If nccessary, across the border into Mexicau territory. © The publication of these orders naturally caused great excitement fn tho Cityof Mexlico, which was undoubtedly increased by the severc criticisms made o this country upon the Mexican policy of the Ad- ministration. ‘The Iatest reports from Mexico represents this excitcmeut as baving largely subsided since equal vigilance bas Leon shown by the com- munder uf the United Btates \lao&s 1a prevent- ing the organization of a fllibustor movement ayouinst the Diaz Government, as In protecting the citizens of Texas from Mexlcan depreda tlons. ‘The arrest of Escobedo and & number of Iia followers scowns to have convinced Diaz that tle attitudo of the United Btates towards Mex- frolsnot & hostile ouw, and rcnewed efforts scom to bave been made to prevent border vut- rages in tho hope, no doubt, of eventually ob- tatniog the recognition whivh his Administration The position which the is understood mow to First, that the Diaz Goverment must be proved’ to be accentable to the peopls of Mexico and not the tewmporary triumph of a revolutionist; and, scoondly, that it possvases the power to carty out strictly to_the letter all its treaty obliuations with the 'Unlted Btates. When Prosident Hayes' Administration {s con- #inced on these two points Beuor Mata will un- doubtedly be recognized as tho accrodited rep- tesentative of the Mexican Republic. In other words, tha United States has, in effect, placed tho Mexican Goverament on {ts good béhavior. If it proves its disposition and ability to be- coms a good nelghbor and to fulfill all {ts International obligations it will no doubt be fully recognized at uo very late dn{. I, on the other hand, deptedations and ralds across the border mnllnue, and there is no eridence of an honeat attempt on the part of the Mexican authorities to provent them, no oficial rocog- nitlon will at present be accorded, Nothing in jnternational law requires tho Government of the Unlied Btates to recelve the representativesof thedefactogovernmentin Mex feu, Beveral european nations ‘matic intercourso with Mexicoisloce thé fallure of the Freuch army of invasfon under Maximil- {an, In the meantime, the United States trans- ncts Its business chicflly through Miulster Foster in Mexlco, who holds Informal! comnunication with the Dinz Guvernient, and Benor Mareschel, tho Lerdlst Biinister, fs stlll recognized the representative as in Washington of the Mexican Republic, and when he [ absent from the legation Its business 8 conducted by tho Becretary aa Charge d'Af- faires, As an lllustration of this policy, it may be said that when Mexico recently pald the an- nual {nstallment of muney due’ this country, amounting tu $300,000, the State Department refused to recelye it trom Mata, and it was paid through Mareschal, this Govornment secepting g.u Wl‘li l«zut inquiry where Mareschal h-s ob- ned it. Meanwhile Senor Mata remains in Washing- ton, and, althouzh he has uo officlal de\lluggl with the’ Government'of the United Btates, Is increasing his efforts to {nduce his own Gove: wment to adopt aud adhere to such & _policy as ;fll losure early recoguition by Fresident yes, OHARLES SBUMNER. AN INCIDENT OF TIE STATESMAN'S HAILY LIFE. &pectal Dispaich to The Tribune. ‘Wisminarox, . Aug. 37.—The Secretary of ‘War had lald upon his desk this moruing s let- ter which is of peculiar interest. It has just been dlscovered by one of the clerks ln looking over some of the older files of the Department. It was n letter from Maj, Bumner, the father ol the latc Benator Sumuer, to the then Becretary of War, askiog that his son, Charles Bumner, then alad of about 15, might be ap~ polnted military cadet at West Polot, The letter recites that'he is & good boy, without bad habits, well grounded fn the common branches of English, with a falr knowledge of French, kuowing something of Latin and Ureck, ana propared to enter Harvard Collego; that his paronts destined Wim for a classlcal course of study, but that the 1ad's preferences SEEMED TO HR FOR MILITALY LIZE. Mr, Suwmner sald that be could not claim the lgpolnlmanl for any descrvlng of his own from the country, but thathis fatler, the lad's grand- father, Ma). 8umner, had done good service in the Revolution. Mr. Bumner added that bo re- ferred by permission to his momberof Congress, Mr.'DanielWeoster, and ventured to say tuat Mr, Webster kuew Limy well coough to know that he would uot recomumend anybody to oflice without ho had merit, be he his own son or uo W’Bfl letter is written (n a clear, round Land. THE EX'TRA SESSION. 0 THOUGHT OF ITS POATPONEMEST. Bpecial Dispated (o Ths Tribune. Wasmnorow, D, C., Aug, 27.~Concerning the rumor that the Cablnet sre cousidering the question of postponing the extrs session untll the regular one, it s known that the Becretary of the Navy‘'has said that the Navy Depart- ment might possibly be able to get aloug until the 15tk of October, but that it would be s very dificult mmter. The Navy Department s Iu even better conditlon than the War Depart- ment. The Secregary of War bas not a dollar to pay for tho transportation of troops from one camp to another, and it way with very great diffculty during the atrlke that the troops were moved from tha Bouth to the North, as soms of the Southern railroads BEYUSED AT FIRAT TO CARRY THEM without more definite assurances of payment than the War Department, in the absence of au appropriation, could give, and It was not untll sume private persons guarauteed that the road should receive their money when au sppropris. tiou was wade that the “truopy were drought Nortb. 8imilar ditticulties exist In most cVery Department of the UGovernmeat, owlug to the deilclencies arising from the niguardly retrench. ment called economy of the Dewocratic House. ‘The fund for vnnunfi‘ln sowe ot the Depart- wents s eotirely.exhausted, The Bupreme Court, for lnstance, bas already UUED EVERY DOLLAR scavty appropriatiou made for the priut- {og of the records of its cases 1or the eotiry fscal year, which ends July 1, 1873, aud there arg B0U cases, the records fu which are ready for ‘priutin, und submissiop 1o tha Court, not ooe of. -m& cun be printed untll Cougress wmests.

Therc Is, moreover, no reason tg think that the Presi- dent Intends to recede from the order fAixing the time for Oct. 15, which was not made until after very careful deliberation. NOTES AND NEWS, A MUSTORIC X188, Bpectal Dispateh to The Tribune, s Wasnixorown, D. C., Ang. 2.—There Is & paragraph In tho naval orders of to-day which shows that tho Secretary of the Navy is but a mad, and ls foraiving. The order ts this: “MId- shipman Clarence A. Corbfn Is detached from the Omaha Bouth Pacific Station and ordered lo proceed home and reporc his arrival.” Shortly after the ball given on board the Hartford, st Norfolk, to the Grand Duke Alexis, during his visit here last winter, & paragraph appeared in the soclety papers statiog that, on the occasion of the bell given the Grand Duke Alexls at Norfolk, a sccne was occasioned by a young naval officer reminding his partner [n the dance, wh since martied, that upon a similar oc- casfon, [n one of the portsof the Mediterranean, I¥ NAD KiSSKD HER, the kiss belnga forfeit In the game of ¢ walking around the capstan.”” Tho prudes of soclety were ahocked and reported the young man to to the Admiral, who, in tugn, reported bim to the Secretary of the Navy, with the recommen- dation tliat he be sent to the Bouth Pacific as a punisiment. The recommendation was adopt- ed, and Midshipman Corbin was immediately sent Lo the Uzsiopee on the South Pacifle Sta- tlon, where he has since remalned in repentance ot past misderaeanor.

A London Times Editorial on Reciprocity Dotweon Caunda and the United States— Bt. John, | Special Dispatch (o Thé Tridune. TORONTO, Aug. 27,.—A cable apeciat to the Globe says the Zimes, in an editorial on the ques- tion of reciprocity between Canada and the United States, maintalns that the preservation of customus frontiers Is a troudblesome task, and never can be pertectly fulfilled. It ts Imposst- ble to overbaul cvery petty act of commerve be- tween the two territorles, and, if possible, the cost would be enormousjy In excess of the galn. It the two Governments could agree together on terms upon which the cus- toms llne could be abolished, it would be a consummation sttended with many advan- tages. England would certainly not stand In the way, but the end might not be so easily reachied as may secm. In former attempts to negotiate a new treaty the negotiators lost themseives in barren Inquiries into the balance of trade, and this would probably be the case 1f {resh negotlations were started. It is probablo that, after some hagrling, the Canadians would consent to the introduction of tho manafactures of the Btates at lower dutles than those now levied, but would extend the samne reduction on similar commodities to all parts of the world. ‘Che extenslon of such reduction might be fatal to the negotiations, The foars of the Amerlcans in this respect gro probably overstralned, Even i1 it were true, they would uot really suffer. ‘The Times doca got know whetler tlic idea is entertalned that the fishery disputes should be scttied by pegotiations for a new reciprocity treaty, In view of this possibility, it suggests that whatever negotiations are sttempted should be contided to the Canadiaus, ultinate ratiica. tion befug et to Encland. .

First He Kills His Beloved, and Then He Kills Himself. The Cause Which Prompted the Mad Deed Unknown, What the Only Spectator of the Scene Can 8ay Regarding It The residents In the vicinity of Ashland ave- nuc and Madison strect were startled last even- 1og at 8:30 by a report of 8 plstol, and the sub- scquent rumor that Miss Katle Braanock, the daughterof 2n old resident In the nelghbor- hood, had been shot and {nstantly killed by Wilifam O'Sullivap, sexton of Bt. Jarlath’s (Roman Catholic) Church, corner of Jackson and Hermitage streets, The affair was all the more exciting from the fact that nothing was known of it; the cause or the manner of the booting were mers conjecture, All that could be learned by the first Investigators was, that the young lady had been shot In the room of Ellen Brady, at No. 32 8mith street, the reel- dence of Cregg Walsh, keeper of a mloon at No. 634 Madison® streey, the two places being oo the same lot and connectesd together. The pistol shot was heard by Mrs. Walsh and arelative who wers at supper,and by Michael Denin, esiding pext door. All hastened to ascertaln he cause. Denin arrived just In titne to see O'Bullivan emerge from asmall passsge-way, and {n reapouse to bis Inquiry, *What s the watter?” U'sullivan replied, ‘1 NAVE SIHOT KITTIR," and went on. 3liss Brannock was found by these persons lying dead iu 8 rootn oceupied bg Eileu Brady, why did sewlog for the Wels! famlly aud others. Toe roon was excecdingly small, baviog only oue windut, and that open- ing upon Hwlith ‘street. lIn the ceutre was a sewing-machine, with a small box used for & reat standiog near, Around the room were several chairs, two of which stood near the win- dow as they were when the shooting oo currea. With tlesc furnishings it would be rather diflicult to flod room for a prostrate body; and yet there lay the youus Iady, sand- wichied fu between the chalrs and the ‘sewing- machine. The Brady girl was 1u a swoon fn the Kkitchen, and deticd ol effurts to restore her to conscfousnees. For mearly two hours not an intelligible word could be glesned Irom her, and even when consclousness was restored sbe was 80 nervous and flighty that scarcely anything could be gleaned from ber story. The af- fair, inysterious envogh as ft° was, was made still more perplexing by the girl's freaks and hysterical emotivn sowe one thought to pursue the murderer, and the thought was Do sovucr uttered than n score were lo pursult.

Arriving there, the sexton’s roow, which is fu the soutli- cast corner of the edilice, vu Juckson street, near Hermitage avenur, was found closed and darkened. volver in hand, the policeman climbed to n window, and, striking a light, looked In. The object of his search wus lying transversely on the ioor of the room. A pistol Iyiug vear, and A BLUODY CLOT ABOUT THE FOREHEAD told his 1ate.

The body of the untortunate youn girl bad beeu removed to the house of her par- ents, No, 550 West Mooroo street, Aud even then not an Intellirent word had been gulued {rom the Brady ;ilrl, tae only lving witness of the shocking aifalr. e p THE MERTING, It seems that Willlam O’Sullivan had called tosce Ellen Brady. The two did not agxes on many poiats of contruyersy, and they had just & pleasunt dispute when 3liss Brannock stopped o to sec about 8 dre Miss Braunoc also kuew O'Sullivan, baving met him, it Is said, at St. Jarlath's, which church she sitended. They bad Lesn good friends, and from tho” fact that she had rccelved letiers from him, and answered them, it Is resumed_(hat O'Sullivau was courtlng her, Thelr condition in life was so aiffercnt that, had Lie been posscsacd of ordinary sense, hie might bave knowno that warriage with her was out of the question. She was tbe daughter of a man who"lvu on the interest of his money, while ho occupled a yery merral position,—wus & sort of anitor and-*hardly earted enough to support msell. She certalnly never cucouraged him except 80 far us wriling the letters weut, and It is understood, refused bim a mouth avo. WHEN BUANNOCK RNTERED No. 83 8mith street, O'Sullivan was standing in. the doorwsy between the situng and a lMitle sewing room, in which was Miss Brady. He spoke to her pleassotly, and she sat down. After conversing for a fow wminntes, Miss Brady Rot up and went Into the yurd, haviug a heau- ache, as she says, aod desirivg to get some freah alr, Sho was gone less than five twinutes, On her return there were no evidences of Miss Brannock pud O'Sulliven having bad o quarrel, They had talked, but what about will ever rumain uunknown, There wos no light fn the room. Miss Brady took a suat beslde him and JMiss Brannock on & box, and put her bead out of the winduw, O’8ullivan was scated on a chalr three fect from them. Miss Brady made a rewark about thu other young lady going home,—that her futhee dido’t’like her to be out at night. Muss Bran- nock laughed, snd just thon TURIE A8 A PISTOL DISCHARGED, Miss Braonock fell forward, striking O"Sullivan’s knew. Miss Brady spoku to ler, but she dil not auawer, O'Sulllvan sald, “She s foollng.' Miss Brady replicd ‘No; she would apeak to me! Then O'Sullivan went ln- to tho kitchen, got a umntch, and camo back with a light. Beeing that Miss Brannock was dead, he cxclaimed, © My God, my God," and rushed out of the housc. Biss Brady folnted, and dide’t come to for an bour or more. A reporter saw herat half-past 12 o'clock, when she had partially recovered from the nervous shock, and, in addition to the facts - bodied In the abuve sccoun! the redy, learued that (’Sullivan was a * silly fellow, aud not ot all treschervns.

Thoss who knew hlia best bavealways remurked that be was of s moudy disposition attimes, and of u violent temper, THE TORORY of thoso conversant with the facts {s that the youug mao asked Miss Brannock's haod lu mar- riago and was refused. Tho story of the Urad girl strougly indicates the correctues of th theory. The twubad been fu the habit of meet- ing ciandestinely at Miss Brudy's roum. As usual, they met thers last evening, Afters half- hour's couversation, Miss Brady remarked that ft was gelting late, and that Kitie bad better be going home, as ber pareuts would be suxious abuut ber after nightfall. To this Kittle repiisd that sho was geiting bigh-toued, ) or some simflar remark. Shortly Mies Brady went out into the garden, leaving the lovers (for auch they possibly we:; alowe. - Bhe says she went out becanse she had & headache, but it fs believed that It was pecause of a hint dropped by elther Mlss Brannock or her lover. Whea she returncd they wers sitting near the window, opposite each other. Neither spoke a worl for some minutes. O'Sulllvan scemed In deep thought, and suddenlycame the pistol shot. Not a word was spoken by eitber person. Kittie's head fell forward Into O'Sullivan's lap, and the Brady irl, who thought he bad fired Mmply to atartle hem, so still bad it become, began to_change her opinlon. She asked several times If Kittie was hurt, but received no answer, hen she retreated to the kitchen, she was afrald to come back, and swooned. The parents, and abrother of the decensed girl. who Is n member of the pollce farce, incline to the apinfon that the shodting ‘was not an accident, but the desperate act of & acorned lover: Miss Brannock was the youngest daughter {n & large lnmfl[y and was born and reared in the immediate ¥l c‘nll.y. Her parents being in com- forlable circumstances, she was reared an fc- complishied and clenn‘ voung lady, and these recommendatlons, added 1o a clear cut, matron- Iy-looking face, clear com; lnzlon, hazel-brown eyce, a wealth'f brown hair, and a graceful fig- ure, made her more than ordinary good louking.
