Cmcaoo, August 17.—There was a great

• i P n ^*l>*d. The story about 1 the
special envoy is claimed to be only one of
many Btmilar rumors set atioat to
embarrass the State Department. It is
broadly asserted that Mexican money
is being freely used to defeat the admlnis-
tration in the Cutting affair by creating
public sentiment in this country hostile to
the po-ltion assumed by Secretary Bayard.
A prominent Republican diplomatist who
has criticised the action of the State Depart
ment, is said to be an agent of tho Mexican
governnment, and a strong effort is being
ma e to work up a feeling in favor ol arbi
tration, so as to pavo tbe way for action on
the part of the administration which would
afterwards be construed by it opponents as
a -back down.” Mexican irascibility and
Venality are claimed to be the elements of
danger in the present situation.
Secretary Bayard, speaking of the accusa
tion made against him, that he had pro
ceeded with undue haste in the Cutting
affair, and had placed this couutry in the
attitude of bullyiDg a weaker neighbor, Baid
to-night that be had acted with all possible
consideration towards Mexioo. Cutting bad
been in prison for more than a month when
he made the demand for his release, and
ever sinco. then he had been doing every
thing in bis power to effect a peaceful set
tlement short of couceding the point that
Mexico could try an American cUize!! for sn |
offense committed in this country. There I charged switchmen, and were arrested at 2
he had stopped short and there he would | ». m. to-day in the very act of misplacing

Deteetives of tho road were at work ou the
case all Digbt. One of the attempts was to
wreck the Chicago, llock Island aud Pacific
'rain which left the Van Bnren street depot
at 10:30 p, m., west bound lor Olaboka and
Connell Ulnffi. The train consisted of an
engine with five coaches and two Bleepers
filled with passengers.
Superintendent Chamberlain showed a
reporter a wedge at his office this morning
and said:
"Train No. 3 left the depot on time and
ran out to throe hundred feet south of tho
stock-yards' crossing, near Thirty ninth
street, where occurred a sudden shock. The
cylinder heaus were blown out, nnd the
frame guides were badly bent This, of
course, incapacitated the engine, and while
another was being gotten ready, the train
was pulled up to the shops, which extend
from Forty-seventh to Fifty-first streets,
and held for a relief locomotive. The
wedge was driven into the guide
near the cylinder head-, and tbe engineer
and fireman saw a man in the railroad shop
ran across the track. I think I know the
miscreant from the description they fur

a few hours, as he has not been arrested,

one involving the right of American citizen
ship, and not one which can be disposed of
by arbitration. It is not a question of
pecuniary loss or damage, but of personal
ibertv and possibly of life itself,
Biyard is evidently anxiousjto he’p tho
Mexicans out of the difficulty without
infringing on their sensitive national pride,
but he has no idea of giving up tho priuci-
fie for which this goverumeut contends.
From his expressions on the subject it
may be stated that tbe question of arbitra
tion has not been considered, and tbe State
Department has no idea of modifying its
demand, which is tbe unconditional release
of Cutting. The chief difficulty in tbe
way of a settlement is tbe peculiar relations
of tbe various States to the federal govern
ment of Mexico, Their condition is pretty
much what that of our own colonies were
before the adopllon of tbe federal oonsititu
tiou, all acting independently, aud in
tensely jealous of another. The federal
government of Mexico is powerless iu some
instances as against an individual State.
The State of Chihuahua now holds Cutting,
and nntil the toderal government gets pos
session of him it can do nothing. Unless
the passions of tho Mexicans are inflamed
to such a point as to render it dangerous
for the tedei al government to make conces
sions, Cntting will probably be released as
soon as practicable, and tho matter amica
bly adjusted. Then cen be no doubt, how
ever, tnat there is a very ugly feeling in
Mexico against our people.
Secretary Uaysrd received a dispatch
from Minister Jsckeon to-night, stating
that ltaaures, who was sent across the bor
der by the Texan authorities, was killed by
the Mtxioens while trying to escape at
night. Consul Linn, stationed at ITedras
Negros, informs the State Department that
when, at his mother's request, Hsssures’s
body was exhumed, it was found that he
had been shot while blindfolded with e
towel, and with his hands pinioned at his
aide. He was escaping in this condition
when the M xican shot him down in cold
blood. This is cited here ss a specimen of
Mexican justice and of the way t ur citizens
may expect to be treated in Mexico. A
prominent official said to-night that an ia
Loeent man wbb more likely to be convict
ed in Mexico than a guilty man was iu the
United States.
Minister Jackson is said to be a trained
lawyer, fully capable of conducting all ne
gotiations i^id any investigation as to points
of law that may be necessary. There would
be no occasion, therefore, to senu a special
envoy to Mexico, and to do so would ue to
cost a re flection on Minister Jackson which
that geuth man wonld not be likely to toler
ate, A gentleman high in authority here,
speaking of this feature of tho case this
evening, said: "How absurd it is to talk
of our eendiog another representative to
Mexico. That would be to pleud onr
there, in a Mexican court, so to speak,
anil we have already had enough of
M* xtcan courts. We have bad too many
examples of their methods of procedure, as
Uiu.tr-Ited in the pitiful fato of poor ILs-
eureu” Nothing is known here of Minister
Jackson's mignation, and it is not thought
by the Stato Department to be at all likely
that even if he wished to resign he would
do so just at this junctors of affairs. Ue
has certainly given no intimation to the
department of a wish to be relieved. From
what Secretary Bayard says it is safe to dis
count all rumors which have not for their
basis tbe insistence by tbia government
upon Ua original demand* Mr. Bayard is
sincerely anxious for peace, and will ex
hanat aU dignified end legitimate means t<

Boston. August 13 -On Thursday last
remarkable surgical operation was perfonn
ed at tbe Massachusetts General Hospital
by Dr. M. H Richardson of this city. About
a year ago John McCarthy swallowed a set
of artificial teeth, which passed through the
uiopbisni uud lodged in tho cardiac orifice
of the st->mach. Some months ego an et-
tenicbtras mode by s surgeon to remove tLe
obatraction by the introduction of an in-
■Uument into tho oesophagus through the
mouth, bnt to no purpose. The passage of
food to the stomach being almost
wholly prevented, the P«“*nt
became very much emaciated
and very weak, and It was evident that nn
lees relief wss soon had be most die. After
having had tbe case under observation at
tho hospital for a short time Dr. Richard
son determined upon opening the stomach.
He made a tiau.versc cat in tb* left side of
tho abdomen, through which tiie atomach

engine will have to be taken apart and
closely examined. While tho wrecked en
gine was being replaced and the Omaha
train stood at the shops, the theatre train,
which leaves Chicago nt 11:35, arrived and
passed the delayed train which waa almost
ready to continue ou its journey. When
the theatre train stopped, some rascal
boarded it and turned the red bull’s eye
with the evident intention of causing thi
Omaha express to run into the rear o£ the
theatre train. This would have been a
dreadful calamity, but was prevented by a
brnkeman who, In going to tho rear of the
theatre train, observed that the bull's eye
had been turned around. This aroused his
suspicion, and after righting tbe lamp he
ran back a few yards and called to the crew
of tbe Omaha traiD, telling them crooked
work was going on and to shoot the first
man they caught attempting more train
wrecking.
Yesterday evening, as the Lake Shore
train passed through the Bock Island yards
near Fifty-first street, a man hnrlcd a stone
the switchman and brakeman.
Superintendent Amsden, of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern rail
road, said that another attempt
train wrecking was made at 8:30
1 >. m. yesterday, near the stock-yards cross
ng. Unknown persons turned tbe switch,
and the engine and forty-three freight cars
were derailed. Fortunately, no lives were
lost, and but little damage waa done except
to one freight car, which woe badly
wrecked. Alter an hour's delay the track
waa cleared, and traffic resumed.
The men Dow at Harrison street station
were arrested at tti— instigation of Superin
tendent Amsden, who held n long consul
tation with the detectives this afternoon.
Aa tbe Lake Shore brain, loaded with
dressed beef, was going south last night,
it was. ditched at Fifth street,
tho train and engine leaving the track,
policeman waa caught by the felling cars
and seriously iojured. The accident was
caused by a turned switch having caught in
somo way, bat whether it was intentional ’
not known.
Between twelve and one o'clock this ev
ening the police at south Chicago found
bomb on the track of the Lake Shore rail
road near the depot in that end of the city,
It to of gas pipe fixture and ia long, both
being plugged with wood. The police
were so excited ut the dto overy that they
at once boarded a train and took the bomb to
Captain Hunt at Hyde Park. It woe tired
off an the Lake Shore this evening.

The above dialogue to the key to an in
terestirg romance which was brought to i
climax last night. It occurred between
John Fisher and Sarah, his wife. They
were married in this city abont ten years
ago and lived happily together with their
Ismily of four children nntil about two
years ago. Then Fisher got out of work
and ended by shipping as a deck
hand on board the steamboat Joseph
Walton. He did not return end hut

How President Huchai
Ofllcer Pay ft
Brooklyn Union.
The last Democratic President, James
Buchanan, had a different idea from Clove-
land ns to tile use of onr public vessels, nnd
n story waa published m iny years ngo of
how this idea cost Howell Cobb, his secre
tary of the treasury, n nice littlo sum. It
was nt the time of th6 launching aud atrial
trip of a ruvecue cutter which bail been made
under Cobb's direction nnd named after
Buchanan's niece, “Tho Harriet Lane."
Cobb concluded that ou Iris trial trip of the
new vessel be would invite the cabinet, tbe
foreign legations, tbe President, and others
of bis acquaintances to take a sail with him
down the Putomoc. He made all bis arrange
ments wilbout saying a word to
the President, nnd tbe matter was
pretty well advanced before
Buchanan heard of it. Whin it first came
to his ears "Old Buck” sentfor hie attorney,
general, Jere Black, who, when ho came to
the White llouse found Buchanan flushed
with anger. As Black entered bo said: "Are
you going on this blanked frolio? I would
like to know what you think of Cobb'e using
our pnblio property for his private enter
tainment?"
Attorney General Black replied that he
was not going on the “Harriet Lane" trip,
nnd, though he did net like to criticise
Cobb, still he was not backward in saying
that lie did not approve of it. “But," con
tinued Black, "Mr. President, Cobb bos
gone on with this affair and issued his in
vitations, and I don't see what you oan do
about it.”
"Do abont it," said Buchanan, in a rage,
do about it? Why, of course I will st ep
it. It is a scandalous affair, and 1 will not
be held responsible for it. I certainly will
not allow it to go on."
Black then plnoed beforo Buchanan the
irobahility that Cobb thought he wee do
ng nothing wrong when he was making
tbe arrangement, end the faot that if ho
stopped the affair now it wonld canoe a
great deal of scandal both in this country
and abroad, as the foreign ministers had
been invited. Buchanan appreciated this,
and finally said that he thought lie would
let Cobb go on if be wanted to and ho
wonld p >y all the expenses out of bis own
pocket. The excursion did go on, bnt
ueitbor the President nor Attorney.Gen-
oral Black wen present. At the first
cabinet meeting after it Bncbanan said to
Cobb:
Mr. Secretary, I want you to bring me
au itemized bill of the expenses incurred
during the trial trip on tbe 'Harriet Lane.’
r want adctailod account of everything—
the coal consumed, the aalarica of the offioers
the wages of tbe seamen, and the onstof
every bit of supplies used on the trip."
Cobb did not know what to make of this
demand, but he replied quietly, "Certainly,
Mr. President, I will do so.”
Shortly after this tbe cabinet meeting
ended, and Hoaell Cobb and Joe Black
walked down from tbe White House togeth
er. When thoy had gotten opposite where
the Attorney-General's office is now, Cobb,
who h«i been silent up to this time, burst
forth, 'What in thunder does the old squire
mesnE"
Block made no reply, and Cobb went on;
'Yon know what he means, and I kuow
yon do, and now I want yon to tell mo
irankly what ho is up to.” Black then re
lated his conversation with Uucbnnui, and
concluded with the statement that Buchxn-
un bad »-ked lor the bill in order thatbu
might pay it out of bis own pocket
Howell Cobb al *tys whistled when he
was surprised, and he now gave a lond,
long-eontinned whistle and said: 'That to
what the old 'sqnire is np to, is it? Well, I
will see whether I can't surprise him. '
■ At this point tbe conversation dropped,
and Black and Cobb went On to tbe treas
ury. Every once in a while Cobb wonld
repeat bis whistle, and as Black left him he
heurd tbe whistlo coming ont of tbe tresa-
ury door os Cobb entered. The next cabi
net day cnme sod with It came Cobb, who
led ' ‘ ' '
ell. Tho President looked glum, bnt Cobh
wss cracking bis jokes at everybody. The
business of the meeting wss At last concln
ded and the secretaries bad arisen to take
their departure, when Buchanan turned to
Cobb and said rather shorply: "Mr. Secre
tary, whets to that bill?"
Cobb, aasuming on innocent air, an
swered: "Win t bill do you mean, Mr. Pres-
i lent?'
I mean tbe bill of expensoa for the trial
trip of tbe ‘Harriet Lane,'" answered Buch
anan, sternly, "have yon got it with yon?'
"Oh! that bill!" said Cobb; "yes, I believe
I have it somewhere abont my clothoo,"
and hereupon Cobb fumbled first in one
pocket and then in another, and finally
drew ont a piece of crumpled paper, which
he handed to the President with: "I guess
that's it ~
Mr. Buchanan took it and looked over it
item by item.
Hie face waa full of disgust os he read,
and be seemed to look daggers into tho
psper until he reached the end, when ho
almoet jumped to his feet os ho exclaimed:
"Why, it is receipted—paid in fully by
