NEW YORK, Feb. IA. M.-The World
has the following: One of the scrub
women at the Hotel Royal made a start
ling statement to U0Ttd reporter last
night. She said at o'clock in the morn
ing. when she left the hotel to go across
the street to sleep, Engineer Harding was
drunk. She saw him stagger, she said.
and others told her that Harding was
seen under the influence of liquor earlier
in the night.
Night Clerk Underwood denied the
story when it was repeated to him. He
said that Harding was steady man, and
was sober on Saturday night.
The chef of the house said yesterday
that one of his cooks may have left a
grease pot on the stove and that it
boiled over, burning the fat. In that
event it could have set fire TO the floor
and wall or blazed up to the ceiling. The
fire may have started in this way.
Engineer Harding is positive his fur
mace and boiler were in good order, and
no burning Goals escaped The boiler
blew up an hour and half after the fire
broke out.
1t was common gossip in the servants
dormitory at No. 695 Sixth Avenue that
Night Clerk Underwood was asleep at
the time of the fire. The scrub woman
said he generally was asleep at that hour
in the morning. No one could be found
to verify this report.

DIAZ's ADDRESS.
The Mexican Presidents Speech at tn,
Opening Of Congress.

The Mexican Presidents Speech at the
Opening Of Congress.
Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. 16.-Congress
was opened by President Diaz tonight.
In his address, the president said the
United States legation had requested
9hat negotiations be opened fer the irri-
cation of land on both sides of the Rio
Grande river, and negotiations were now
in progress. The marauders who had
for some time infested the frontier, and
caused much trouble to the Mexi-
can and Texas troops, had disap-
peared. Every possible precaution
against the introduction and spread of
cholera in Mexico had been taken. Since
April the government telegraph lines
had been increased by 1900 kilometers,
and over 300 kilometers of railroad lines
were constructed. 1t was expected that
the Tehuantepec railroad would be
completed within 15 months, and the
road to Oaxaca by October. The gov
ernment receipts for the fiscal year ex-
ceeded $37.000,00O. Notwithstanding
the failure of crops, the rise in
the price of exchange and bank
business, the decrease in receipts
shown by these figures was insignif-
cant. ALI steps were taken to avoid the
increase of the national debt, and
small loan of 9600,000 would be more
than sufficient to meet every demand.
The beneficial effect of the new stamp
law was apparent, and it was now pro-
posed to impose tax upon liquors and
tobacco.
The president of the chamber, Sefior
Trinidad Garcia, replied, echoing the
sentiments of President Diaz.

Labor Commissioner Peck in
Trouble.
Both He and His StenOgrapher
Arrested.
They Are Charged With Destroying
Public Records.
Damaging Testimony Against the Au-
thor of That Famous Report on
the Mckinley Tariff and
Wages.
BY the Associated Press.l

By the Associated Press.l
ALBANY, y. Y, Sept. 16-At O'Clock
this afternoon, at the request Of District
Attorney Eaton, warrants were issued
for the arrest of Charles E. Peck, COM
missioner of the state bureau of labor
statistics, and his stenographer, Elbert
Rodgers, by Police Justice Gutman. The
arrests were made under section "a of
the Penal Code, which makes it mis-
demeanor, punishable by imprisonment
for five years, or fine of $500, or both,
to destroy public records. The
charge is that certain circulars and
statistics received by Peck from manu-
facturers of this state, from which to
compile his report on the effect of the
Mckinley tariff on wages and produc-
ton, have been removed from his Office
and destroyed.
The proceedings leading to the issu-
ance of the warrants began this morn
ing before Judge Gutman, behind closed
doors. Those present were District At
torney Eaton, Corporation Counsel
Dellehanty and ex Senator Norton
Chase. Janitor Dennison, of the house
where Peck and Rodgers room, stated.
in examination, that two weeks ago an
expressman brought % packages to the
house and stored them in Peck's room.
Last Sunday Peck gave him (Dennison)
81 to take them down and burn them in
the furnace. Dennison did so, being
kept busy from Sunday afternoon until
8 O'Clock Monday morning, burning
packages.
Norton Chase said after the warrants
had been issued, that he had proof that,
if not all, at least part, of the tariff
circulars received by Peck for his report
had been burned.
Commissioner Peck said tonight that
he and Rogers had been served with
notice to answer the warrants tomorrow
morning. He then said: "The securing
of these warrants of arrest is the cul-
mination OF the fight made by the Mug
wumps and anti-Hill Democrats on Gov
ernor Hill and his friends. and it is all
they can expect henceforth from these
quarters"
A committee sent by the national
Democratic committee. comprising Nell
son Smith, ]. Schoonhoff, Ellery An
derson and Edward F. McSweeney,
labored over an hour with him, endeav-
oring to secure the names of the manu-
facturers reporting to him the effect of
the tariff on their respective industries !;
also to get individual returns. Peck
held to his original statement, that be
would show nothing but what was con-
tanned in his annual report, which was
hardly what the committee was after.
The discussion was very heated at
times. Finally Smith read lot of
questions, which, he said, if answered.
would satisfy the committee. Peck
said most OF the questions could be an
swered by reference to his report, but
he volunteered no answers.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 16.-The govern
ment has been apprised of the arrival
at Quebec of number Of immigrants
from Europe, with through tickets for
the United States. The railway COM
panies absolutely refuse to allow the
immigrants to board the trains, and the
immigrants are simply stranded in the
provincial capital. They want to take
possession of the federal immigration
buildings, but the government requires
that these buildings be used for Cana
dian immigrants only. Hence foreign
bound arrivals are thrown on their own
resources. The difficulty will probably
only be solved by the steamship COM
panies taking these people back to

The Temescal Mines Compelled to Close
Down.
RIVERSIDE, CAL. Sept. 16.-A report
reached this city today that the Teme-
seal tin mines have been closed down.
The cause assigned is that there has
been disagreement between the own
ers and employees, regarding wages. u;
From South Riverside party, who is
in the city tonight. it is learned for
certainty that the Temescal tin mines
have been closed down. The informant
cleaned the news from man who runs
a boarding house at the mines, and who
visited South Riverside today. The
cause given for the suspension of work
is that there are no funds to pay the
workmen with. The mines are located
in an out-of-the-way place, and it is a
difficult matter to get news from there,
but there is no question as to the truth
of the shutdown. Several days ago a
number of hands were discharged at the
mines, and today those remaining were
discharged.
