Gov't Report Baking Powder PURE JiL PASO STIRRED. El Paso, Nov. During the last two days ithere has been considerable excitement among the residents in the southern portion of this city over a rumor to the effect that the Rio Grande was no longer to be the dividing line between this country and Mexico, especially at this point. This rumor originated from the fact that the Mexican engineers of the International boundary commission now in session here have been surveying and placing monuments through the southern portion of the city, running their lines on Second street so as to take in a strip of the city over a mile long and six -blocks deep. The Amer'ran commissioner, Colonel Anson Mills; was nailed here -to consider a claim from Mexico, and while that claim has not yet been submitted, it Is understood that Mexico will claim territory on th'e north' side of the river within the corporate limits of El Paso -on the ground that the original channel of the river ran almost through the center of this city, but that because of embankments the flood waters shifted Ihe mutn.

channel over on Mexican territory- Mexicans living In the southern portion of the city are so confident their homes will soon be conceded to be on Mexican soil that they are flyinjc 'the Mexican colors from their house tops. Under the Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty the boundary line was fixed in 1852 where the river now runs, and no fears of Mexico securing a big slice of El Paso city la entertained by those acquainted With the changes of the river nnd stipulations ot the treaty.
