President Diaz Opens Congress-The Coun.
try in Good Shape.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept 1S-The ami.
versary of the independence of Mexico
was celebrated with great pomp.
The President opened Congress at six
o'clock In his speech he said the coun.
try was at peace internally and
externally. He had received the
Pan-American conference reports,
which were being studied. Arrange
ments have been made for the mutual
crossing of troops of the United States
and Mexico pursuing Indians. The
Government of the United States had
acted fairly in the matter of the con-
spiracy to invade Lower California.
The United States Senate had approved
a commission to arrange probable diff
culties arising from changes in the
courses of the Rio Grande and Colorado
river Absolute neutrality had been
preserved respecting the Central Amer
lean imbroglio. New Zealand had been
excepted from the treaty with England.
The Senate bad approved the treaty
with Italy which would soon be ratified.
An agency at Yokohoma was contem-
plated. Public lands were being taken
up rapidly. Steps were being taken to
keep out cholera from Europe and small
pox from Guatemala. He thought that
when Mexico was heard in the Ameri-
can sanitary congress the difficulties of
Texas quarantining would stop. The
work OF drainage in the valley of Mex
leo was making progress The Govern
ment had listened to the requests of
the merchants and reduced taxation

THE ODD FELLOWS.

Actiop- OF the sozeressn Grand Lodge
Daughters OF Rebrksh Get n Set Back
The Late Grand Sire Overruled.
TOPEKA Kan. Sept 20-The first
annual convention of the Order of Re-
bekah will be its last
When the sovereign grand lodge Of
Odd Fellows met yesterday the petition
OF the Rebekahs for continuance was
given a special hearing and by prac-
tically unanimous vote a substitute was
agreed upon which will do away with
national conventions
Mrs Rea, the president said of this
action: my only hope is that the repre-
sentatives who voted against US will not
be elected to attend another grand
lodge meeting"
The amendment to the constitution
in regard to the eligibility Of saloon
keepers was voted down by an over
whelming majority. This came up on
the case appealed from the Missouri
grand lodge which took action refusing
saloon keepers admission on the ground
that their business was not moral
The Judiciary committee submitted
Its reports on the cases of Grand Master
Barnum, Of Illinois, and Captain Gen
eral Ellis, of the Patriarchs Militant.
In the Barnum case the committee over
ruled the grand sire and in the Ellis
case confirmed his ruling. The grand
lodge will act on both reports to-day.
The degree of chivalry was conferred
on Mrs Rea by the sovereign grand
lodge and the Daughters of Rebekah
gave her handsome diamond ornament
emblematic of the order. But the jewel
and the honor does not compensate for
the chagrin she feels at the action of
the grand lodge. -'.t
The finding in the Barnum case was q
great victory for the Illinois grand mas
ter. He was peremptorily deposed from
Office by Grand Sire Underwood for re-
monstrating with the latter in regard to
one Of his decisions Barnum had re-
voked the charter of Chicago lodge
because it had refused to comply with
one of his orders The lodge appealed
to the grand sire and the charter was
restored. Then the grand sire removed
Barnum from Office. The judiciary COM
mittee held that grand master was su-
preme in his jurisdiction and that all
complaints must pass through his hands
to the grand lodge
/ Captain General Ellis, of the Patriarch
Militant, by virtue Of the decision, is
suspended from Office. October last
he issued an order declaring himself
acknowledgement and generalissimo of
the Patriarchs Militant by virtue of a
decision of the grand lodge limiting the
Office of lieutenantgeneral to three
years and providing for a successor.
Grand Sire Underwood revoked the
order and suspended Ellis
All of the amendments which were
proposed to the constitution were voted
down. 1t is not likely that any changes
whatever will be made.

filming the wild animals and set them all
free.
Four attendants sleeping on the prem

the lions, the trumpeting of the ele-
plants and the groans and shrieks Of
the other wild beasts
Four big male lions, named Pasha.
Abdul, Caliph and Mustapha, sprang
from their cages and made for the sta
bles, where Pasha leaped upon the back
of Murat the great jumping stallion
and buried his teeth in the animals
neck. The screams of the horse aroused
the attendants, Scotchman named
Patterson and three Kaffir boys, who,
armed with stable forks, rushed to the
relief of Murat and endeavored to beat
Pasha back, but were attacked from be-
hind by three other lions and one chez
tab, thrown to the ground and dragged
off. Their bodies were mangled and
torn open, their bones smashed into bits
and the heads of all except one of the
Kafirs were mashed This Kaffir had
his legs torn off, but lived long enough
to tell the story. His body was covered
with decorations.
Having tasted blood the lions, cheet-
abs, wolves and leopards regained all
their natural ferocity and sprang at
every living thing that came in their
way. Four performing Hungarian
horses were killed almost instantly,
among which was The equine beauty,
Black Bess, and a number of ponies
were devoured.

on his carriage before the building and
sprang for post that supports an avn
ing around Gloyer's athletic bar. while

toits Fraue road closely pursued by two
lions and four wolves. The rest of the
wild animals scattered in every di-
rection.
