New Orleans, now on his way to Rome, says he
saved the lives of Mayor Shakespeare, Messrs.
ParkersOn, Wickliffe and other leaders after the
killing in the prison yard. by dissuading the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Mexican
government has just granted conces-
sion for IA standard gauge railway $50
miles long, from the City of Mexico to
a town in the Pacific coast known MS
Palazada Bay. The road will traverse
what has been considered the richest
mineral section Of old Mexico, which not

but has also large agricultural and tim
Der resources. In addition to the local
traffic it is understood that the line will
secure large continental patronage, as
it will offer the shortest route between
