During the final debate in the Honse of Commons on Monday night Sir Stafford Morthcoto said he con sidered that, under ordinary circumstances, India rihould bear the expense 'of hostilities with her Immediate neighbors, but the case would be different it a distant enemy was moving on India, because that would be hostility to the Empire. He trusted tho war was nearly concluded. They would bo bettor informed in a ' month as to its real extent and significance. It might be desirable to vote money in aid ot India. He felt sure that it it became necessary to ^scort the imperial strength tho people of England would willingly contribute. The Marquis of Hartlngton replied, closing the debate. CBABITY nt TIB HOCMI OV OOKMOXS. An editorial article tn the Timet of yesterday said-? "Some commotion was canned in the House of Com mons by the announcement of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer that he would nod proceed with tho motion for a grant in aid of the sufferers in the Rhodope district. The opposi tion triumphed over the sudden change of front, yet the Introduction and with drawal of tho motion became very simple when the reasons are stated. It was thought by the Ministers tho distress revealed by tbe report of tho Rhodope commission was a fitting ob ject for Parliamentary aid, bnt it would have been in decorous to make an act of charity the occasion of heated debate, and the purpose of the government was no sooner "known than it was clear it would be* resisted on both sides of the House. The Chancellor of tho Exchequer thought It better to refrain from making tho motion, even at the coat of the ?arc-asms with which he was rewarded last night. Many conservatives aro opposed to grant pnblio money at a time of severe distress at home, and a large part of the opposition would have seen tn the act a political purpose." mumso A JOB*.

Convinced of the iujustice and hardship of this tax, the merchnnts of Guadalujara and other towns iu the Statu telegraphed to President Diaz a protest and asked tor protection from the general government. No answer to this appeal was received, however, and when this tax was being collected all who protested against it wero at onco imprisoned by order of Gov ernor Blcstra. The merchants who had signed the telegram to the President were all imprisoned with out delay. ? THE MAXKACBE. On the ovening of the 3d inst. the people of Gauda | lajsra held a mass meeting on tho public square of that city to protest against these outrageous proceed ings. The intolerant Governor, to convlnco the I people of Guudalajara that they had no right what ever, c-ither to hold mass meetings or to protest against any act of his, ordered a detachment of troops out of the government palace. These troops drew up iu line, ami, without tho slightest warning, fired on the peaceable crowd, killing in pure wantonness five of Guadalajara's prominent merchants. I am anx iously awaiting names and details. It is reported that one of the slain w as an English citizen. Such is the boasted security of lifs and property of which tho Mexican Minister Zamacona has been boasting to tho merchants of Chicago. CRIME IN TEXAS.

Ho vtasn great-grandson of John Morton, one of the signers of the Declaration of 'Independence, occupied the highest position In business and social circles and was universally esteemed and valued us one of Philadelphia's favorite representativo men of atfairs. His ability and high probity were unquestioned.

For years he had !>eon systematically st uuliug the money of tho corporation by forgery and fraud, and, in conjunction with several others, applying it to private purposes. The community was fairly appalled. The shock of tho discovery was the greater because Mr.' Morton ad mitted the truth of every charge, and the Hubald of September 23, 1877, contained an interview in which the unhappy man recited the details of his crime. It was one of the most remarkable events of the day. and involved the losa| of $2,000,000. Morton was ar- ? rested with Hubn, Vinkers and Stokes, other officers of the road, and one Naglo, a publisher. Morton and Hubn pleaded guilty, but sentence was suspended to enable them to be used as witnesses against the others, btokes went mad from bis trouble and is yet iu an insane asylum.
