EX-PRESIDENT GONZALES' PART IN THE ENT BTATE OF AFFAIRS, Carcaco, Tll., June 16.—A New York special to the Tribune says: The Mexican government is obliged to look in every direc: tion for funds to meet its immediate neccasi- ties, whilothe question of relieving the general financial difficulties of its exchequer I Likely to be one of years, Among the methods pro- posed for securing money at once is one which affects the Tebuantapec railroad project, in which a large number of Americans and Fng- lishmen invested about $3,000,000, The pres- ident of the rond was Edward Learned, of Massachusetts, George S Coe, president of the Amenican Exchange National bank, wasa large stockbolder, They secured s erant and sub- sidy from the Mixican government for a road o run from Coatzacoslcas, on the Gulf of Mexico, to & point on the Pacific ocean a fow miles below L Ventosa. The grant of land exceeded 200,000 acrer, and the com pany expected on an inve: tment of £5,000,000 to $5,000,000 to clear not less than $25 000,00) to $30,000,000, Their prospectuses wero so glowiug that President Gonzalee, who was then at the head of the Mexican government, became jealous of their prospects; Gonzales’ entiro career was that of a royal freebooter, bent on enriching himself at the exoense of the people. It is to his wholesale rob- bery of the public tremsury that Mexico owes_ ber present embarrassments. By the stipulations of the grant the railroad company was to complete a certain amouat of road in & given timo—forty consecutive milss, They had more than forty miles complated on time, but not_consecutively, bocause the Mexican authorities nad told them repeatedly that this would be looked upon in thejapirit rather than the lotter of the grant. Besides, the Mexican government was behind $70,000 in ita subsidy payments, and held $100,000 of cash guarantee money belonging to the company. Neverthe- leas, Gonzales, without a moment's warniog, declared thegrant forfeited. The Tehuantepsc railroad company was the ooly one of three organizations recsiving a grant to put a shovel in the ground. Gonzales avowed his inten- tion of completing the rcad himself, The complications, however, were moro than he had counted upon. His_high-handed seizure d revocation presented under the circum- stances some ugly international questions. Beaides, _the projectors of othor Mexican lines, under similar grants, became uneasy, and lest they should be treated similarly, ro. fused to go on with their proposed enter- prises. In this dilemma, thinking that the directors would be unable to act for the stockholders and that an offer of set- tloment would of course be refused, Gonzales offered the sgent of the road in the City of Mexico $1,600,000 to _settle. "The directors were able withia four days, in which time an answer was required, to get the consent of the stock and bond interests and took him up. OF this smount $500 000 has been paid. Another installment of $:00,- 000 is past due, The Mexican government bas been unable to do anything toward con- PRES tinuing the construction of the road. The other enterprises have been paralyz:d like- wise, President Diaz has great regard for Americaas and Americin enterprises. In looking around for means to relieve the government and replenish the treasury he has decided to offer the Tehuantepec railroad company & renewal of its grant, to begin just where it was cut short by Gonzales, on its repayment to Mexico of the sum of $600,00). Telegrama from the Oity ot Mexico received here within a day or two announced the departure for New York of a financial agent intrusted with instructions and power to mnegotiate to this end, The line of the gmjrrtsd road is about 165 to 170 miles long, It crosses the moun- tains at only 780 feet above the ocean, The projectors will not say what action they pro- 89 to take on President Diaz's motion until is agent arzives here and they learn the full details, ——— The Cleveland Strikers; CLevELAND, July 16,—Nothing occurred to mar peace at the iron works, The strikers have remained at bome and none can be seen in the neighborhood of the mill, where they wero overwhelmingly defeated yesterdny.

MATTIIE RODABAUGH's DEATH. SENSATIONAL RESULTS OF HER RELATION WITH LAWSON BALDWIN, Special Telegram to The Bix. Fameiein, In, July 16, — Considerable commotion was occasioned here to- by the appearance of Van Buren county officials, who were in pursuit of Lawson Baldwin, of that county, The story of the crime, as related to a BER representative, was of a mosh revolting character and savored strongly of mrrder, It appears that Baldwin, resident of Birming- ham, has been in intimate connection with & woman of that place, Miss Mattie Rodabaugh, for the past eight or nine years, and during that period she has been in a delioate condi- tion three or four times through Bald win, and each tima an abortion was performed. The last instance, which implicates & Fairfield physician, proved fatal and thence the troublo. Miss Roda: baugh came here about thres weeks ago and was engagedas a domeatic at Mra. Culberson’s, a sister of Baldwin, whero he had frequent opportunities to visit her. During her stay with Mrs. Culberson she was taken violently sick and Dr. Miliigan was summoned, He was very secret in his treatment, After a week’s illnees here the patient was removed to her father's residence in Birmingham, where she lingered until Wednesday when she died and was buried on Friday—a week ago, Sus- picion was aroused that all was not right and & warrant was issued for Baldwin's arrest, but up to Wednesday he had_not been appre honded, although he was Known to have been concealed hero until Thuraday night when he secured 8500, by mortgaging his fine farm, which is now understood to be in possession of his father, and made his escape. Tho offi cers employed in this caso hava displayed no very groat talent, and have easily been duped by Stacy Baldwin, the fugitive's father. The families connected with this sad affair aro prosperous tarmers, Baldwin isa bachelor of 39 years, and the deceased girl was 23 years of age. Should Baldwin be captured and taken to Birmingham for a preliminary trial he might be lynched, as the citizens there are ccnsiderably inconsed at tho course he has been pursuing there for years, The victim made an ante-mortem statement to her parents and the two attending physicians charging Baldwin and Dr. Milligan with being the cause of her death. Milligan can bo secured at any tims.

Times, A statute or legalinch of water in Cali- tornla is the water discharged through an opening one inch equare under a pressure of four inches from the center of the orl- fice to the top of the box or point of over- flow. This {s equivalent to .02 cubic foot discharges per second, 1.2 cublc feet per minute and 72 cubic feet per hour. To reduce to gallons, multiply by 7.28, which glves aboat 9 gallons per minute, The *‘miner's inch” runs from 5 to 7 Inches pressure, varying with locality. The great bydraulic com- panies, however, have agreed upon a GAnch pressure, which glves by actual measurement, as made by Hamilton Smith at the North Bloomfield, 2,260 5 cubio feet per twenty-feur hours, or 04 2 cubic feet per hour. In reducing to inchen the water stored In reservolrs the practice 18 to allow 100 cublc feet per hour, For irrigating heads the pres: sure runs all the way from three to elght Inches among commercial ditches, The latter fs—or was re- cently—in use by the Natlonal Canal company, Sacramento county.
