B. FARBOTT, Manager. HUNTINGTON ON MEXICAN ANNEXATION The Southern Pacific Railroad Magnate Denies that He and His Associates Want War to Boom Mexican Lands. -St. Louis Itopubllcaii.

NEW YOKK, August C. P. Hunt ingtonwas found by your correspondent to-day at his beautiful country residence at Throggs Keck, and his attention called to the story that he had an especial interest in seeing northern Mexico annexed by the United States. Mr. Huntlngton expressed his willingness to give his best in- foimation on the subject.

"It i-alleged," your correspondent bo. Kan, the owners of land in northern Mexico--Americans, English and others--are conspiring to bring afcotit a war between Mexico and the United States with a view to having that territory annexed to this country! 1 I know nothing of it," said Mr. Hunt ington. I am one of those that don't believe in any such thing. There are a good many hard and desperate people on the boruei who may, and no doubt do, WISH FOR TROUBLE.

There are some speculating Americans there who would not object to a fight, having little or nothing to lose, aud something, they think, to gaiu--much as a man hopes the sky would fall that he might catch if'cf. i Bat my impression, based upon reliable information, is that the Mexicans, the men of standing, do not desire any sucl thing. As for the United (States, we have territory enough to take care of without covetinr- that ot other nations." Yon are interested in Mexican lands? Yes, we have considerable land there: but I am personally acquainted with President Diaz, and I know that in regard to the piesent trouble he will do what is right. He is reforming that country. Nobody could do better than he is doing, and although it will take a loug time and much effort and hard work to educate the Mexicans, he will accomplish it.

His mind is bent on it. When he assumed power this Isat time there wasn't a dollar in the treasury and chaos reigned supreme, but under his conservative and judicious administration affairs are gradually improving. One of my agents in Mexico, who has been there twenty-six years, a most intelligent and observant man, tells me that the improvement is very noticeable." Where is your latest land purchase located--said to be worth'-" Not so much. The Pacific Improvement era! Naranjo. The property is'located in the balnnas valley, through which runs the babmas river, in the state of Coahuilla The International railroad of Mexico, of Jt lch am tlie President, runs nearly through the middle of the valley, striking the habinas river about seventy miles from From the blustering and bravado of the Mexicans at Paso del Korto, and tuo offensive opposition they offer to American intercession in behalf of Cutting, it would seem that they reckon upon aid from some quarter if a struggle should eventuate." "My clear sir, three-quarters of the stuff that's printed about tbiis Cutting matter is unworthy of consideration, aware that there is matter is 1 am well A STItOXO rRKJl'DICE existing among Americans on the border against a certain class of Mexicans--those marauders--and vice versa the feelinir is reciprocated." "What advantage could Mexican laud- owners hope to acquire through a war?" 1 really don't know.

I can't see that it would be any advantage. We bought lands under the Mexican laws, and whether a shifting of the border line would enhance their value or not I am not able to siy nor has the question been discussed or entertained by us. We are content to hold it under Mexican laws. 1 think if this gof-ern- ment would give Mexico a little moral port, it would make things easier on both sides." OU knovr the feeling among the English holders of Mexican lands?" I have no means of knowing, but the chances are that from their political standpoint they would prefer to hold under Mexican laws, and hence I can not see why they should favor a war with the United States. We have had some difficulties with the Mexican customs authorities and have been obliged to pay excessive charges, but when we applied to their higher courts for adjudication we always received fair treatment.

I have as much confidence in the high Mexican 1 courts as I have in the American courts, perhaps a little more. Their magistrates and other lower courts p.re undesei ving of confidence--much like ours." Is it true that the railroad employes in Mexico have been SUPPLIED WITH ARMS to resist the Mexicans?" "I can speak for our men on the International railroad. Our agent informs me that the men asked for arms to defend the property in case of trouble. My reply was iiat the matter in dispute--relating to Cut- and Arresuris--was to be settled by ley made conditionally--contingent upon war, or continued peace?" No. There seems to be a wrong im- jression abroad about the Mexicans; bor- ler rowdyism, or better, ruffianism, unfor- innately finds champions who spread broadcast lying reports showing the total depravity of the Mexican and extolling the virtue of the fellows on this side.

Why in Mexico we have had less trouble than anywhere else. In any way that we can. utilize a Mexican we do it, and! give him the pre- erence in Mexico to an American. We keep on good terms with the people and our rights are recognized. A great many of our people believe that others have not as much right as they, and that's tke source of most ot our trouble." When it is asserted that the Pacific Improvement company are aiding and abet ing war and--" "Oh, that would be absolutely and un- jualii.edly false.

I have a good deal of it, and I know that the courts never act without a cause. Now, his case of Cutting's reminds me of an occurrence in Nicaragua. It was after Walker lad been there and as many as 1300 of 5 were in a small town. One man got we nt into a oar-room and de- nolished all the glasses and bottles in it. le was arrested and locked up.

My view is that if a man vin- atcs the law he should be punished, and hat's all there is to be said." At Sir.

'N GEOSOIA. The Bchool Once Taught by William H. Sew ard-A Story of the Great Premier. EATOI -IN, August The great reuni the pupils Phwnix academy has be going on for the past few days Thousands are in attendance. Besides hav ine been the alma mater of Secretary Lamar, former United States Senator Alfred Ivoreon, Joel Chandler Harris (Uncle Ke- mus), and others, it is noted as the school once tnught by William H.

Howard. In the woods to the right is where tlie old union do iiiu jijjuij iet wuore luo oiu union used to stand. It was burned -own years ago, and the new academy which arose from its ashes was called Phoenix. In the old academy William H. Heward tiiught school in the year 18111.

Mr. Bewurd was then not tjuito twenty yenrs of nee. On account of differences with his lather In regard to the completion of his education, he determined to leave the parental home and try his in Ihe Soufh. He loft home without saying sood-by, nnd his father was ignorant as to where he went. On reaching Georgia his eyes fell upon an advertisement one of ihe Milledgeville newspapers for a teacher in this school.

He was on the ground without delay and was soon installed as a teacher. The story runs that when he came his funds wero reduced to $2, and this he spent within a week for a silk cravat. He was proceeding with his duties quite satisfactorily, when, before the end of a year, hia father discovered his whereabouts and Induced him to put a substitute in the school and return to his northern home. In 1846, Mr. Beward, who had then achieved a national reputation, came to this neighborhood and visited the scene of his youthful labors.

Colonel w. A. Wilson, the historian of the occasion, tells the following story about Mr. Heward: "At the close of the war I was a prisoner at Fort Delaware. had surrendered the remnant of the Army of Northern Virginia at Apponmttox.and Johnston in North Carolina had surrendered not only the irmy in his presence, but all troops and Jtores east of the Chattahoocheo river, and the war was manifestly ended.

Every prisoner thought of home und how to get there soonest. Some by applying to influential friends in the North had obtained release, and all were casting about for some such help. My case seemed hopeless. I knew no soul north of Mason's and Dixou's line, and must wait the slow motion of the general discharge of prisoners, and mv name among the VV's near the bottom of the list. It might bo months before It reached me.

But 1 bethought me of Ke- ward, the great premier of the victorious cabinet. I had seen in the papers that he a daughter, Miss Fannie Seward, and I resolved to try the fortune of a die by making an appeal to her. I wrote her in my best vein, recalling how. before my birth or hers, my mother had been a pupil of her Father's in the far-off Georgia school, giving ne.mes Uiat I knew her tather would remember, and asking her to interpose for my early deliverance. This letter was dispatched on Friday.

On the Monday following the answer came. It was not from Miss Winnie herself, nor from her father. It was signed A. Anthony Uutnam. Ihe answer said that tlie secretary of state directed the writer to inform ine that an order for my immediate release been signed by the president and sent to tlie office of the secretary of It said nothing about my letter ncr Miss Fannie fewnrd, but it brought the boon I longed for.

I took her silence to mean that correspondence from rebels such.as I was not solicited, sol.took it out in thanking the good Lord for my deliverance, and have never thanked Miss Fannie yet, except in the recesses of a grateful heart." MISSISSIPPI CONGRESSIONAL 'CONVEN- T10N. HAMS MAKES A SPEECH.) Ji'M NEW OKLKA.V. August Democratic Congressional convention of the Sixth Mississipi i district met yesterday at Mississippi City. Jefferson Davis was welcomed with loud applause. The privileges of the floor were extended to him.

In response to calls, Mr. Davis addressed the Louver.tion.fe He said that as a Mississip- nan at least he could address the conven- He adverted to the great importance of the duties of a congressman, and the danger always to be apprehended that the position would be prostituted to personal ends. The time was when hat fear would have been unreasonable. "Is it so now?" he asked. He that the convention would choose a man who would be -found proof against corruption.

In the old days this district and the whole State were represented by statesmen of renown. Touching the question President Cleveland's appointments, Mr. Davis said that the president was a man entirely new to national politics, therefore tie could not be expected to escape occasional mistakes. In regard to the negro vote, Mr. Davis said the southern Democrats shonld.be congratulated, upon having educated their slaves up to a grade of citizenship so high that the Republicans thought them fit to exercise the right of civilization.

The charge that the white people of the South abused their superior strength to oppress the blacks, he de- aounced as calumnious. He trusted that UissiEsippians would never stoop so low as to take an unfair advantage the ignorant. NEBRASKA PROHIBITIONISTS.
