The government does not at pres- ent concern itself with any question of dam- ages due Mr. Cutting, but will use the informa- tion obtained through Mr. Sedgwick in the fartherance of its negotiations for securing a change of the Mexican laws in so far as they are held togivea right to try Americans for acts committed on this side of the border.

AN UNSATISFIED BOND SAID TO HAVE CAUSED ‘HIS REMOVAL, Itis said that the removal of Mr. Ramsdell from the position of register of wills was the re- sult of some trouble concerning a forteited bond, Mr. Ramsdell and W. 1. Vanderlip, a pension agent, were on the bond of aconsul, and becam: responsible for about $400, which, on last March, had not yet been paid. It isa well-es- tablistied rule that the government will not Pay money to an Individual who is in debt to the government, Under this rule the salary of Mr. Vanderlip was held up. There was con- siderable sympathy for him at, the, solicitor's office, as he could not well do without his money, and it was suggested that he see] Mi Ramsdell, and that between them they put. up enough money to compromise the case. Mr. Ramsdell was the first surety, but as he got the emoluments from his office ut of fees his sal- ury could not be withheld. Mr. Vanderlip went to see Mr. Ramsdell, with the proposition to Join him in a compromise. He caine buck to the sollcitor’s office of the Treasury full of in- dignation, and reporied that Mr. Rams- dell had’ retused ‘absolutely to meet his obligation, saying that the goverment might whistle for its money, so far ‘as he was concurned, or even do worse. There was con- siderable indignation felt over the matter. The idea of a government official taking advantage of his luek of responsibility to refuse to meet an indebtedness to the government was looked Upon as discreditable in the extreme, and his ulloged message htghly insulting, Prior to this, itissald, the President had decided that Mr. Ramsdeli should retain his position, But re- cently, it is sald, tno above statements were made ‘to him in ‘the form of # charge against Mr. Ramsdell, and he decided at one upon that gentieman’s removal. WHAT MR, RAMSDELL SAYS, A STAM reporter saw Mr. Ramsdell this morning. He sald his removal was unexpected, but that he had never been informed of any THE DEMOCRATIC TEXT BOOK.

Itis by the sale of this book that the committee expect to raise the money necessary tor the campaign, Voluntary contributions front individual demo- erats and from clubs are coming in, but as no effort has been made in this direction the re- ceipts do not aggregate a great deal. The daily mail of the committee has already reached large proportions, but in some cases a letter contains a remittance of only adollar. Others send more, Just as the writer feels inclined. Chairman Kenna, in conversation with a STAR reporter to-lay, said: “We have not taken adollar trom any government official or em- Ploye, though thousands of dollars have been tendered from official sourees. After the pub- lication of our pecuniary embarrassment was made there was a generous movement on the part of democratic officlals—entirely volunta- rily—to relieve us, but we declined all such offers. One official said to me ‘I want a copy of your text book, and here's one hundred dollars fopay for it” Tiook only one dollar, and put bis hame on the list for a copy of the book. We do not intend to have any comments or eriti- cisms to the effect that we have taxed office holders, 80 we decline all muney irom them, except for the purchase of text books at a dollar per copy.” Chairman Kenna and Secretary Thompson have devoted themselves assiduously to the Preparation of the text book, and naturally ex- Pect it to have a large xale ‘among democrats, —— eee. ‘The Sixth Maryland District.

Out- side of Birmingham the Chamberlainites, he sald, had no influence whatever. Chamberlain thought that no scheme could bea one unless he himself was the author of it. The speaker urged Irishmen tocontinue their efforts by legitimate means to obtain their rights, as nation, struggling to be free. He sald that win- ter wai approaching and the military were as sisting in the evictions of the people, many of whom were cast out upon the side, Irish men could not be blamed if they relused tosub- mit tamely to such treatment, but he warned ‘Uhem that disorders would only serve as an ex- cuse for refusing home rule und would ensure coerciot Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said he believed the trouble in Belfast to be due to Mr. Gladstone's untortunate proposals.

Quigley, of the Terror, in hand for being too severe on the American’ fishermen, has no foundation, It is irue that the government was investigating the matter. Capt. Scott had spent all day at that very work, but had found that Capt. Quig- ley did “not exceed his duty it any particular, and that none but general instructions bad been given nim and no new orders had been issued to him. The amount of it is that the American fishermen Lave been allowed todo about as they liked. They camo down to the Canadian ports and traded without even Teporting at the custom houses, and violated the lawin many other ways. On account of the treaty the enforcement of the customs regu- ations has been very lax, and this state of affairs bas becu going on’ so long that the Americans have come to look upon the privi- leges they enjoyed as vested rights and to im- agine that there are no laws of Canada that they are bound to respect. Not long ago Capt, Scott Was talking with a ‘man who had been a customs officer for torty years, and he informed the captain that during the whole period he never once boarded an American fishing vessel. All this is to be stopped. The minister of cus: toms is determined that the laws shall be strictly enforced. He says: “As faras itis in my power 1 am going to sec that no customs or other iniringements are permitted, and. that the officers of all the cruisers use their endeay- ors to prevent violations.
