Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, on September 2, says the dis patch was followed by a cablegram from MT. Chamberlain to Sir c. Cameron Lees, governor of British Guinea, directing him to obtain without delay vote for the purchase of two Maxim guns, one of them to be stationed at Urun or on the frontier, where the Venezuelans may at- tempt to cross. The Gazette adds: MT. Chamberlain had decided that the from tier within the Schomburg line shall be held by force if necessary" Concerning the attitude of the newspapers in British Guinea in ridiculing Mir.

MExlCO'S PRESIDENT.
Diaz Ranks With the Most Capable Statesmen
 of His Time.

In the gift of true leadership, of or ganizing capacity, of far-sighted, patri- otic and sagacious direction of coun- try's policy, Porfirio Diaz ranks with the great rulers of the country, says the Boston Herald. As monarch of any European great power, he would un- doubtedly make a. great name for himself in history. But his work in Mexico to- day is probably of more value to the world than anything a man of his char acter and traits might accomplish else where For he has brought order and prosperity to a splendid country that for nearly a century had been in chronic state of turmoil, and has given 1t an hon ored place in the family of nations, with a people started securely on the way of progress.
 TO our own country his work is also of a value that has as yet hardly begun to be appreciated. It is of immense service to have a peaceab1e and prosperous na- tion dveloped in the beautiful portion or our continent that adjoins us to the southward. The natural resources of Mexico have hardly begun yet to be real ized What has been done in California under the stars and stripes we may LOOK to see done there under the friendly nag of a nighboring republic for Mexico mas the materials for the making of several Californias. The opportunities for prof itable commercial intercourse with such a country are practically boundless, and the work of General 'Diaz Is assuring us a steady development of their possibili- ties.
 The peculiar way in which the practi- cal ba sis of government differs from the theoretical in country like Mexico has made many friends of republican institu- tions perhaps unduly harsh in their crit icisms of methods and results there prev alent and arrived at. Whatever form of government people may possess. its ap- plication in practice must conform to the character of that people, and the Mexicans as a nationality, are clearly not yet fitted for republican government, as we understand it. But, it may be doubted, if after all, the actual govern- ment of Mexico is not really as genuinely republican as that of some of our own states-for instance, the great common wealth of Pennsylvania, which. to all in- tents and purposes. has for years been

under form of dictatorship in which the pretense of free institutions has been a cloak for steady violation, defiance and abuse of their principles. Public sentiment is something that has to be reckoned with in Mexico of today as in Pennsylvania.
 The ideals of General DiaZ are genuine ly republican, like those of the lamented and noble-hearted Dom Pedro of Brazil His aim Is to make his country truly free, as well as materially prosperous, but he sees that strong government and an intelligent people are necessary preliminaries to free government. It is d great advance that in a country like Mexico all reverence for monarchial in stitutions has been destroyed. The ground is thus better prepared for new edifice, and the sentiment of republican, ism so universally cherished in that country as an ideal, however imperfect ly realized furnishes a strong vantage ground for true progress. There Is much in a name, and Diaz as president has great advantage over the position that was held by Dom Pedro as emperor in guiding his country toward its destined place as a self-governed nation. Mex ico has been rich in statesmen of 8 high. order. President Juarez was pronounced by Secretary Seward one of the grea test men of his century.
 It is fortunate for Mexico that Diaz has been so long at the head of affairs, and that under his administration a wholly new economic order should have been brought about. As in Japan, there has been wonderful transition from mediaeval to modern conditions within a quarter of century. The people have forgotten the habit of revolution and do- mestic turbulence. and for the first time since their independence have experi- enced the blessings of internal tranquil ity. Daz will doubtless remain at the head of the country while he lives and retains his present wonderful individual and administrative vigor. And when he resigns the helm it is likely that some other capable man will continue his work. We may feel certain that the Mexico of the twentieth century will con- tinue in the course laid out in the last quarter of the nineteenth.

She Earned a Bonus.

Boston, Oct 1S.-In her official trip be- tween Cape Ann and Boone island, a distance of thirty-one knots, the battle ship Indiana made an average speed of 15.61 knots for four hours. This is 61-100 Frots above the speed required by the government, and as there was a premi- um of $25, ,000 for every quarter knot made over fifteen the Cramps will receive $50,- GOO as a bonus in excess of the contract price offered. This may be increased to 375,O00 when the tidal observations are worked out, as the allowance for tidal Instructions will probably give the ship 15.75 knots. The very satisfactory speed developed by the Indiana is secondary to the wonderful way in which the ma chinery worked

But the Missing Money Is Probably Wante
 Still More.

But the Missing Money Is Probably Wanted
 Still More.
 Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-A. K. Ward, secretary-treasurer and manager of the Memphis Barrel and Heading company, has been missing since Tuesday and the presumption is he has taken a trip to Europe, accompanied by his wife. Ward is wanted because of the liberty he has taken with the names of rich relatives and business friends, who were potent with bankers and other money lenders. The aggregate amount of paper out standing is said to be between $50, ,000 and $10O O00 On most or all of the paper there appears the names of s. c. Toof, w F. Taylor, John L. Welford and w. A. Williamson, the first named being his father-in-law. The others are stock holders in the Barrel and Heading com pany.
 Later-The forgeries of A. K Ward. manager of the Memphis Barrel and Heading company grow, and are now es- timated by Memphis bankers to be not less than $200,000. It is thought he has gone to Honduras and the opinion pre- vails that he has the bulk of the money with him. The Mechanics National bank of New York held $30,000 of his paper last August and 1t is more than proba ble that other institutions of that city held paper of the concern of which Ward was manager. Memphis banks and individ- uals were caught for over $150,000 but in some instances Col. w. F. Taylor, as president of the Barrel company, has approved the outstanding paper, which is not yet due. One month ago a bank in this city which held $16,OO0 of the com pany'S paper sent for Colonel Taylor and he approved 1t as president.
