Minister RYAN Calls on Diax.

minister Ryan Calls on Dt0x.
CRY OF MEx1co, July s.-Hon Thomas
Ryan, United States minister, called upon
President Diaz to congratulate him on the
compliment paid to Mexico by the elevation
of the United States legation of this capital
to the first class In speaking of the object
OF his call Mr.. Ryan drew the attention of
the president tdsthe unanimity with which
the proposition was supported by the admin
istration, the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives, and which illustrates the universal
good will of the American people for Mexico
and the Mexican government. But for the
cordial good feeling entertained by the
American people for Mexico, he said, and
for their appreciation of her industrial pro-
gress. the proposition could not have re.
ceived such unanimous approval by the gov
eminent and by congress.
''Such an expression of the popular will of
my country" said Mr.. Ryan, ''hss been rem
dered possible solely by the recent years of
peaceful and sagacious government enjoyed
by Mexico under an administration that
commands the respect If the civilized ma
tons"
President Diaz was visibly affected by Mr..
Ryan's reference to the fact that the law
placing Mexico in the eame class with Eng
land, Germany, France and Russia was the
expression of the American peoples regard
for Mexico and their recognition of her
growing commercial Importance.
Coming from the representative of ma
ton which We regard as the first on the con-
tinent." said the president, ''your remarks
carry with them volumes of weight. We are
accustomed to consider the United States
the chief exponent, the standard bearer. on
this continent, of the grsndest ideas of equal
rights and popular government
The president added that nothing so much
pleased him as the compliment to Mexico
implied in this action of congress, it being
especially gratifying to him to note the pop
ular character of that manifestation.

The Empercr's Royal Progress.

The Empercr's Royal Progress.
LONDON, July 14-The inhabitants of Lon
don turned out in force to witness the pro-
gress in state of Emperor William from
BuckinRham palace to GUILD hall and back
to the palace.
A vail of people packed every foot of space
available.
Promptly at noon the emperor's state car
rage left Buckingham palace sparkling with
gold ornamentation and driven by eight
superb position ridden horses, fanked by
mounted life guardsmen and mounted police
and conducted by white bewigged footmen
and coachmen of immense size.
The spectators manifested the greatest en-
thusiasm. From the church steeples the
bells rang out announcing that the royal
pageant had commenced. Up the Strand
the decorations were superb.
Every inch of the way from the Strand to
the Guild hall abounded in color. The front
of the buildings were everywhere draped
with flowers.
The reception of the Prince of Wales was
of mixed character. At points he was re-
celved with unstinted cordiality. and at
other. loud boOings quite dominated the
cheers.
At the Guild hall the recorder of the city OF
London read an address. The address wae
presented to the emperor in a splendid COLO
casket, richly enamelled and decked with
precious stones.

Frank McGrath Not fnfoi med.

TOPEKA, July 14.-Presideat Frank Nc
Grath, of the Kansas state alliance, is quoted
as pronouncing the report that the Farmers
alliance had sent out secret circular appeal
ing to its members to hold their wheat until
it would bring $1.25 per bushel fake pure
and simple.
He said: eff such a circular had been
agreed upon l would have known of it, for
all of the state alliances keep one another
advised of every important move, and surely
the national officers would have let me know
about it if they had taken such step. The
circular story probably grew out of the fact
that the alliances of Kansas, Missouri, ILL
nois, Nebraska and Iowa in particular have
been urging all their members who could to
shock their grain and stack it, to give it an
TO dry and become more mar
ketable.
''Wheat is full of water this year and the
berry is more PUPPY and less tit to be mar
keted at once than have ever seen it before.
Wheat that is threshed now and thrown on
tie market cannot be given a high grade,
and those who sell now will necessarily do 20
at sacrafice. This appeal has been made
to farmers both by letter and through the
alliance lecturers. We have also urged that
the wheat be not all turned out on the mar
ket at once, that the visible supply may not
increase to such an extent az to force down
the prices, but no secret circular has been
sent out advising wheat growers to hold tnelr
products for q rise. Farmers who can noio
their wheat will undoubtedly do so. but many
of them are unable to profit BY our ADVICE.

May be 800. 900 Thrown Aw.y.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Ths decision of
Judge Ross, Diminishing the libel against the
schooner Robert and Minnie. was q great
surprise to the officials in Washington. II
was generally believed that the case against
her was much stronger than that which could
be made out against the Itata, and, notwith-
standing. the reservation made by Judge
Ross in his decision, it is felt that his action
will cause the failure of the original libel
lodged against the Gillian vessel, although
she may still be held on some technical
charge connected with her escape while I'M
der legal detention. This outcome would
be Q severe disappointment to the state and
naval department officials after an expendi-
ture, direct and indirect, in the chase of the
1tata that is estimated to run up closely in
the nelghborhood of $1O0, 900.
A telegram was received at the depart
ment of Justice from United States Mar
shall Gard at San Diego, asking for instruc-
tons in regard to the seized Gillian steamer
Itata. In response the acting attorney gon-
eral telegraphed United States Attorney Cole
at San Diego to libel the vessel and turn her
over to the United States marshal by due
process of law. By special arrangement
with the navy department the vessel will be
transferred to the custody of the civil author
tiles.

MAD MEXICO.
Its Raging Waters Driven by
a Forty Mile Gale.
Great Damage to Shipping and Lonsshore
Property - Galveston in Darkness
Streets, Cellars and Warehouses
Flooded by the Inrollfng Gulf.

GALVESTON, Tex, July s-One of the most
terrific storms known in years ragged hero
forty-eight hours. The damage to shipping
and to other property along snors is very
great. The waters from the gulf are in the
streets, and the cellars of warehouses and
other buildings near the water front are
flooded. The wires are Frustrated in all
directions
As darkness deepened the wind, which had
by rain, increasing in velocity, and by 10
o'clock was blowing at the rate of twenty
six miles per hour. 1t continued to increase,
accompanied by q driving, binding rain,
when it reached velocity of forty miles per
hour, which it maintained for five minutes,
when il gradually subsidized.
During the prevalence of the gale the gulf
was unusually turbulent and the surf mum
dated the lower portions of the city in the
east end, while along the guilt side it.threat-
ened the underpinning of houses near the
beach; washed away about two blocks of the
Galveston d Northwestern narrow gauge rail-
way; tore up and demolished the street rail-
way track extending from Twenty.second
street to the Beach hotel; undermined and
broke up portions of the break water protect
ing the Beach hotel lawn; snd carried away the
temporary approaches to the Pagoda bath
house and other gulf side resorts, besides
wrecking a number of temporary stands in
front of the Beach hotel.
The signal service predicts that the worst
is not over, and this prediction, from present
indications, will be verified as the velocity
of the wind was reported by the signal ser
vice at forty miles an hour with the barome-
ter constantly dropping while the gulf was
rolling inward with an angry, sullen roar
that was ominous.
The storm knocked the electric light works
out and the city was wrapped In darkness
with the wind whistling aud the rain falling
in torrents.

Arc They "Red Legs ?"

DENVER, COL, July "a special from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, states that portions of
Cheyenne county are being devastated by
the grasshoppers. In three weeks past they
have been Matching out and myriads cover
the prairie for miles just west of First View.
A strip of land ten miles wide and extending
in southeasterly direction across the entire
hoppsrs. They meet with considerable diff
Guilty in crossing the railroad, ana conse-
quently settle upon the track; causing the
wheels of the engines to slip SO that it often
requires two engines to pull the trains over
these places. The extent of territory they
cover is not known, but they are said to ex-
tend over all the land between First View
and Linon Junction, and as far south as the
Arkansas river. AS yet they have done no
damage to crops and grass, being too young.
By the time they are able to fly or damage
crops they viii be we'll out of Colorado into

electrical executions at Sing Sing, have 10
turned.
''The execution" they say, "was success
in every way, and there was not the slightest
hitch. Electric execution has come to stay.
These executions demonstrated that the
method is humane"
''Do you cay that all four died Instantly"

rent reached them"
''Do you say there were no sensations, no
sensibility after the current reached them ?"
There was no sensibility Whatever after
the current reached them. It was an abso-
utely painless death in all four instances. {"
did any sound come from the men after
they got the first shock2'
'Nope whatever"
'Was there any burning of the flesh?''
''There was not. There was slight scald,
raising white blister and that is al.''
IA New York paper stated that when
Smiler's body reached New York the face
was found to be burned in several places"
THAT was downright ie."
