CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. European diplomat, in an Interview Wednesday said: "Chihuahua has as good a right to her peculiar code as has France, from which country it was adopted. It is not likely that In a ease of a similar kind with France the United States would make a peremptory demand for the release of her citizens. The United States' view of the case will not be the view of European countries, where a similar law to that of Chihuahua prevails. England does not recognize the divorce law of certain American states, but that Is no reason for war.

It would bo a bad example of republican Institutions If two nations like the United States and Mexico had to resort to war to settle such a case as that of Cutting." The Two Republics (newspaper) suggests club, whose real purpose was first to gain control of the labor movement In this olty und than to gal control of the entire order and to run the Knlghta of Labor for their own personal ends. They have carried Out the tint part ot the programme, It is alleged, by the most questionable means, and have nearly succeeded tn the last. The accused members of the Home club deny all the charges and say that they court rather than fear the fullest Investigation. TO REMOVE BISMARCK. An Orgnnly.ntlon Whose Is lo Annihilate the Gurinnn Statesman.

MD.WAUKKK, Aug. weeks past rumors have been current that Polanders and (Jermon Catholics had formed a secret loclety, the object of which was to get even and do away with Bismarck for the wrongs done to the Poles and for bis evinced hatred against the Catholics and the pope. That luch a society existed was ascertained Wednesday. Several documents were found In the house of a German druggist which showed the form of oath to be tnkon by new members, and their pledge to further the objects of the organization, which styles Itself A. a (American Anti-Bismarck Bund.) The oath Is in a business like form, and would do honor to O'Donovnn HOMO.

Arbitration Is also favored by a number of leading Mexican citizens. An Interview NEW YORK, Aug. Mexican con- BU! general, Navarro, writes to a morning paper denying the correctness oC tbe Ian- attributed to him in a report of a recent Interview. Ha was reported to have said that in case of war tbe United States would "overwhelm Mexico in no time." He writes as follows: "Allow mo to say tho reporter misinterpreted my words because if I am aware that your nation has more against and more resources than mine, tho whole world knows because it is a historical and recent font, what the Mexican people can do when struggling for their indepondenco even with the most powerful nation of the earth. Happily, all this is mere talk, as there is not the slightest probability of a war." Foreign Comment.

LONDON, Aug. The Times commenting upon the controversy between the United States and Mexico over the Cutting case says: The chief difficulty in tbe way of an amicable and speody settlement of the trouble is Cutting's appeal to the angry pas- lions ot the Texans and tbe desire on the part of the dormant raider on both'sides of the frontier for an outbreak in order to restore, their contraband trade. Mexico has been surprisingly reasonable, considering Cutting's provocation, and although Secretary Bayard is a little too exacting in his demands, tbe action oC the president and the United (States senate is all that could be desired. Herein lies the assurance of peace, A Mother and Three Children Tile Mother's Heroism. ERIK, Aug.

Connonut, Ohio, Mrs. Mary Stough, a farmer's wife, was engaged in doing hor washing at a creek, and her children, Ada, aged 14, Bertha, 12, and Haitlo, 8 years, were playing about the stream.
