CITY OP MEXICO , Nov. 7. [ Special by Pan-
American Press Association. ] A proposi
tion to tux.tho property of the church is being -
ing seriously considered Just now by the
loading legislators of Mexico. In a late
speech In the Mexican senate Don Juan A.
Matcos , the most eloquent debater of
tno republic , was roundly applauded when
ho expressed himself at length on the
subject of making the church pay tribute
to the state , the same as any other busi
ness institution holding property aud re
ceiving and dispensing money is required
to do. There nro I'-JO Catholic churches
In the City of Mexico alone , the re
ceipts of which , according lo Scnor Ma-
tees , are about f 1,000,000 , in hard cash every
year. Why the clergy should bo allowed to
accumulate this vast sum with no return to
the government the Mexican lawmakers
profess lo bo unable to explain , and It is
probable n clerical tux bill will bo Introduced
shortly before the Mexican congress , The
proposed bill would in all likelihood Include
thu holdings of American Protestant mis
sions , and of course will cuiiender much.op-
posllloii from Catholics and' Protestants
uliuo.

A Texas paper in commenting on the

Tbo offlclaU of the Mexican caplial uro
making a sturdy effort to successfully wrcs-
, ' lo with tlio troublesome practice of carry-
ng concealed weapons. The harvest of
shooting affairs , duels and other debates of
t like fatal nature botwccn gentlemen of
iiouor has been an unusually prolitlc ono of
Into , and a prohibitory law has been passed
which resembles in a general way the reiru-
littions regarding arms lu force InthoUnUoI
States. The police of the city have orders
to search for concealed weapons the in
mates of drinking planes , taverns , the rnoro
disreputable cafes And other resorts where
they have occasion to balicvo such
weapons are worn. They are having a
hazy titno of it lu carrying out tnls
rider to the regulation , for if there Is
tiny ono thing which the Mexican regards as
ono of his most cherished privileges It is to
carry a thlrtccn-lnch knife , pistol , sword ,
cauo or whatever ho pleases , about with him
for company's sake. Ho considers this as
ouo of the features of the liberty which ho
enjoys , and as there Is no moro recjilcss or
deadly kuifor than tlio Mohican peon , espe
cially when in a state of pulque saturation ,
the gendarmes are * having au altogether
lively thiio of it , aud arc constantly met with
open dellanco of the law.
IlestrlctloiiH on Allou I.niid Owners.
President Diaz desires to oDlclally deny
through the medium of the foreign press ,
recent publications regarding the forfeiture
of land , othnr than mines , hold by aliens in
Mexico. Tno statement tnado was that an
alien property holder would lese his Mex
ican possessions by absenting himself with
his family from the country for moro than
two years without previous permission
of the government by residing
permanently abroad without leavlnp a rou-
resentatlvn or attorney to look after his
property and represent him , or by transfer
ring IHo title to ro.il estate to any nonresi
dent of tlio republic * . Tlioro was such a law
at one time in force hi Moxleo , but it tins
now been repealed for several years. Tlio
only restrictions on the holding of real estate
in Moxleo by foreigners apply to lands along
tlio border ami on tlio coast , which are iu
force purely as a protective military meas
ure.
Xo\v Sport for Old Mexico.
An interesting ( question of a sportive-
moral nature which is agitating the publlo
mind In the City of Mexico Just at present , la
the proposed revival of bull lighting iu the
capital. The leading Spanish dally of the
city urges that llccnao bo granted for the
winter's touiiiitmout on the ground that bull
lighting helps to diminish crime. The paper
does not state Its reasons , however , In ad
vancing this rather startling theory. The
umuagcmciitof the lights Is willing to pay to
the municipality tlio sum of fliO.OOO. If the sea
son is a successful ono , aud this Is proving n
very tempting factor in favor of the lights ,
on the part of the authorities. Just how
popular bull lighting eoula again bcconio In
the increasingly cultured Muxic.ni metropo
lis Is hard to forotoll. The President und
Mrs. Diaz nro greatly opposed to. thcso
bloody exhibitions aud carry with them a
constantly Increasing following of the loadIng -
Ing society people , who will not clvo their
supporting presence to such brutality. Hut
the main thing which is working against the
rovlvul of the uuolcnt and popular Spanish
recreation is the Inauguration by northern
horsemen , of a regular season of whiter
races , beginning with the Derby December ! ! .
The sporting world and society iu general
cannot successfully pursue moro , than one
fad at a time , uud as I ho City of Mexico Is
outhuijui vivo of interest regarding this
imported American innovation , the appear-
auco U tlmt the horse race will supersede
the bull light , and thougllo matador stop
down und out forever lu favor of the jockey.
