drill and inspection. The company
was called to order about eight o'clock

should fall out whenever a mistake
was make by them-wrong orders be.

fuse them. The spelling down drill
continued some time and the company
reduced to four. These four men
gave the captain considerable trouble
to overcome, but at last he managed
to bag the four with one shot. The
Guards were in full dress uniform
with helmets.

somewhat astray when it credited
George with using Ratchet. and also

NEW York, November 15-Senor
Romero, Mexican Minister 10 the
United States who returned from Eu.
rope on Tuesday, is stopping at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. During his alb.
sence it was currently reported that
the object Of hisyisit was to negotiate 4
loan Tor his government, and also Ia
effect an amieable arrangement with
the English bondholders. When cues.
toned on this subject Mr.. Romero
denied emphatically that such was the
case.
u visited Europe, " he said, simply
for recreation, and had no mission
from my government relative to 6nan,
ces. My attention was drawn to the
report you refer to some time ago.
am at loss to understand why such a
statement should have been made
Us it true, Mr.. Romero, that you
are an aspirant for the Presidency o.
your country at the coming National
election, as has been reported?"
No, lam not a candidate, neither
do | seek the Supreme Court Judge
ship"
Who amsng the Mexican Presi,
dental candidates seems to stand the
best chance Of securing the prize2"
THAT is a question which cannot
pretend to answer. There are several
distinguished citizens of the Republic
whose names have been mentioned in
this connection. General Diaz, Gene
raj Fuera and General TrevinC
are among the number. General
Diaz is greatly beloved by the
people, and has greatly ad
yanced the prosperity Of the country
BY his able, patriotic and intelligent
administrations. General TreyinO L
a brave soldier, and also stands well
among my oountrymen. The!same car

for re-electionY"
THAT | cannot say. According tC
the Mexican Constitution, the Chic
Magistrate Of the Republic is prohib'
tied from holding Office for two sue.
oessiVe terms"
Mr., Romero said that the compile.
ton Of the two great railroads-thC
Mexican Central and the National
would open a new field of prosperity
aud would greatly enlarge the trade
relations between the great Southern
Republic and the United Staes. 0ld
party prejudices were dying out, ani
the people Of Mexico realized The
great advantages which were opening
on every side by immigration and thu
introduction Of American capita, anG
would profit by them. The fnancia
condition Of Mexico had improved
wonderfully during the past few years
aud he was confident that in the fu
ture she would keep step with thu
march Improvement, and occupy
that position among nations to which
she is Justly entitled by her population
and resources. 4..., ...
Referring to the Tehauntepec Ca.
nal, he said that the Government hac
assumed control of this great work
aud would push it forward to compile,
ton. 1t would prove to be OF meal
culsble benefit to both contfies, anC
would further tend to enlarge theil
commercial relations and cement tn
friendship existing between them.

Yesterday the men at the Ludingto1

at Iron Mountain, and paraded the
streets with brass band, eight hun

forced TO dispense by the cold. -Four
hundred Of them then surrounded
Superintendent Stockbridge, Of the
LudingtOn Mine, and upon his refusal
TO yield to their demands, attacked,
kicked and beat him till he promised
them anything they wanted. The
mob then started IN search Of Super
intendent Oady, Of the Chaplin, but he
had left by train for Milwaukee. The
men threatened that unless their de.
mands are yielded at the Chaplin Mine
they will compel the stoppage Of the
pumps, and allow the mine to be
flooded. Saloons are all closed, and
there is no drunkenness. The LEGAL
police are powerless, and it is probable
one or more companies Of the State
militia will be called out. The County
Sheriff has been sent for.
