On to Honduras.

CHICAGO, September O.-An enterprise in
volving the colonization and commercial
development of a good sized province. has
been maturing under the name of the Amer
lean Honduras company, with headquarters
at Chicago. It will plant colonies, build
roads, dig harbors, erect light houses, lay
marine cables and establish schools, all un-
der its own supervision and without aid from
any government. The field of its operation
is a tract more than twice as large as Rhode
Island, Astounding in valuable wood and dye
stuff and natural plantations of tropical
fruits. The tract lies at the most nOrtherly
point of Honduras and was granted to an
American citizen, E. w. Perry, by the Hon.
duran government, with the condition that
the recipients should make improvements
and admit honest and temperate colonists.
The colonists were declared free from duties
on imports and other privileges were be-
slowed. A party of colonists Is being organ
lied in Chicago to leave January l. Other
parties of the same kind will be formed in

Thew Fired on Diaz.

SAN AxroN1o, TEX, September 30-The
startling information of an attempt upon
the life of President Diaz, of Mexico, was
brought here by prominent railroad official,
who is deemed entirely reliable. He said
that during the national celebration, on tho
night of the 18th inst, while an immense
crowd was assembled around the palace, Q
volley was fired at the president, who stood
upon the piazza enjoying the celebration and
music. He made q hasty retreat with his
staff and barely escaped several bullets that
passed his head.
Forty men are known to have been con-
cerned in the murderous plot, fifteen of
whom are now in Jail and the others are Zee
ing from the country with the military on
the track.
The news of the dastardly deed has been
suppressed in Mexico by government officers.
The attack is assigned to variety of
causes, the most important of which is that
the president 10 strongly suspected of coquet-
ting of late with the clerical party, which il
in direct conflict, politically and socially,
with the liberals, to whom Diaz owes his
power. Mrs. Diaz is devout Catholic, and
several days ago entertained the archbishop
of Mexico in the presidential palace, which
is the first occurrence of the kind since the
bloody siege of the revolution that ended in
victory for the liberal party.

Aluminium.

CLEVELAND, o., September 3o.-An an
nouncement of interest to the metal trade is
made by the Cowles Electric Smelling Alu-
minum company. of this city. Heretofore
the lowest price made to the public on alu-
minum in small lots has been $3.50 per
pound. The Cowles company, who are the
largest manufacturers of aluminium in the
world, sent circular to the trade cutting
the price to 81 per pound.
Five years ago, when the Cowles aluminium
was first offered for sale, the current price Of
the metal was $40 Per pound, and little, il
any, was obtainable even at that figure. and
this without any guarantee of chemical
purity. The first price made on the Cowies
aluminium was S. per pound, as against the
above figure. At 81 per pound aluminium
will become a serious competitor with nickle
and tin. At 50 cents pure aluminium would
become formidable competitor with copper.

THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Blue Room More Than
Ever Gorgeous.
During the Summer Absence Of
the President and Family the
Mansion Undergoes Repairs. as
Far as the Appropriation viii
Reach.

WASHINGTON. D. c., September 26.-Since
the departure of the Harrison family, the
White house has been filled with workmen.
The appearance of the Blue room has been
entirely changed.
The woodwork, formerly of dingy blue,
has been turned to ivory white, and tho
wainscoting and freze are of a blue and gold
design in silk. Panels of blue American
silk are placed upon the side walls between
the wainscoting and frieze, while the ceiling
il decorated in colors to harmonic with the
other appointments. At the windows there
are double blue silk curtains with q back
ground of white lace, while the floor is COW
cred with pigeon egg blue velvet carpet,
which has been specially woven to order.
The east room, also, has been overhauled
as well rs wired for electric lights under the
supervision of Engineer Baird, of the navy
department.. Twenty incandescent lights
have been placed upon the big crystal chan
delier in this room, and there is also q single
row of burners beneath the trieze. The
effect of this light upon the two big chande-
liers, which are composed of {, 900 pieces of
glass, and which cost $4,000, is magnificent.
The amount appropriated by congress
for refurnishinR, repairing and redecorating
the executive mansion was 81, 900, and three
fourths of this has been spent upon the blue
room. As result the state dining room and
the green parlor, both of which are sadly in
need of overhauling, having been practically
neglected since Grants administration, will
have to remain as they are for at least an
other year.

Another Grand Trunk Line,

CHICAGO, September 24.-Another grand
trunk line is to be built from New York to
Chicago. 1t is to be known as the American
Midland railroad. It will cross and ex-
change business with sixty roads now In ope-
ration. The route selected is 40 miles
shorter than the Pennsylvania, and 200 miles
shorter than the New York Central, and will
be the shortest between New York and Chi
cago. An express train will make the runs
between these places in thirteen hours. The
road is to be built chiefly with English CAPT.
tai, but number of influential Americans,
including Russell Sage and Sidney Dillon,
are said to be interested. 1t is said that the
surveys, locations rights of way, grading
ano all preliminaries of that nature have
been attended to, and the work of construc-
ton will be commenced Immediately. About
$50 miles of the intended route is already
built and in operation from Findlay. o., to
the Pennsylvania Ohio state line.

INTERESTING.
But Nav be Denied.

NEW YORK, September 25.-The Herald
Little by little the details of one of the most
gigantic railroad deals in history are coming
to light. 1t seems impossible to get all the
particulars, as they are known only to few
railroad presidents and such banking firms
as Kidder, Peabody & Co., Drexel, Morgan
d Co. and Barring Brothers.
The known facts are, that the Southern
Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Atchison sys-
TENS have come to such close understand
ing that they are to all intents and purposes
under one management. The alliance Is not
only defensive bat offensive.
1t is perfectly open secret that the South
ern Pacific holds the most intense hatred to-
ward the Union Pacific, and never turns over
pound of unconsigned freight. The Atch-
isOn has of late come to hate the Rock Island
road as cordially, and the bold coup of buy
ing the Colorado Midland completely blocks
the Rock Island from the formation of its
contemplated transcontinental line.
On top of this comes an alleged interview
with Rio Grande Western officials that the
Atchison has bought their road. President
Marvel, of the Atchison, has emphatically
denied this report, however, while acknowl-
edging the purchase of the Colorado Mid
land. He admitted the inconsistency, Also
of the Atchson buying the Colorado Mid
land without thorough understanding with
the Rio Grande Western people.
That this understanding exists was learned
later. 1t appears that before a rail of the
Colorado Midland was laid a cast iron per-
pctual contract was drawn up, giving the
Colorado Midland mileage rights from its
junction to Ogden.
This contract is binding no matter who
owns the Colorado Midland, and as a conse-
quence it is perfectly unnecessary for the
Atchison to spend a dollar for Rio Grande
Western securities, let alone buying con-
trolling interest in its $100, 0OO, coo of secur-
tiles.
The fact is PLAIN that the Atchison now
has two transcontinental lines connecting
at Mojave and Ogden with the Southern Pa
cific.
The full list of members of the Southwest
ern Railroad and Steamship association was
learned for the first time. They are the South
era Pacific, Missouri Pacific, st. Louis, Iron
Mountain q Southern, Texas Pacific, Missouri,
Kansas 4 Texas, ST. Louis, Arkansas d Texas,
Kasnas City, Fort Scott d Memphis, Atchison
system, Denver Texas & Fort Worth, NAL
Tory line of steamers, Morgan's Louisiana d
Texas railway, Morgan's line of steamers
and Cromwell's line of steamers.
All the above are ruled absolutely in rate
matters by majority of the five members
of the executive committee. Three of this
executive committee are the immediate rep
resentatives of c. L. Huntington, Jay Gould
and Allen Marvel.
