CELEBRATED HIS VACATION.

Joseph Burke, twenty-five years old, of No.
$50 Third street, Hoboken, was a conductor
on the North Hudson County Railway Com
pany up to yesterday morning. but when he
reported for duty at that time he was In
formed by Foreman Goelz of the stables that
his services were no longer required. Street
railway companies seldom If ever tell their
employees why they are discharged. and there
was no exception made in Burke's case.
After his dismissal, Burke went off and got
drunk. When he was in a high state of
hilarity he returned to the stables and wanted
to do up Goelz. A policeman was sum
moned and Burke was locked up. He was
held for examination.

London, Sept I6.-Sir Charles Dixie,
who is an authority on European poll
tics and on British imperial defense, has
written a long letter on The Armenian
agitation, in which ne refers TO the
fckleness of British public opinion on
varying phases of the eastern question,
and warns the country, looking to the
weakness of the feet and the unpOPu-
larity of England. against isolated &C
ton ngainst Turkey. He continues BY
saying:
The fleet could force the Dandanelles,
but only with heavy losses and at the
risk of entailiug a general war, in which
our national existence would be at stake
Forcible action elsewhere than at Con
stantinople. By the seizure of material
guarantees instead OF preventing might
aggravate the chances Of massacre at
Constantinople and entail the PARTITION
of the Ottoman empire between the
powers BY which we would have much
to lose and nothing to gain. except
most dangerous inheritance impossible
to defend"

A NEW PHASE
1t is Put Upon the European
Dynamite Plot.
CredeBee In the story and VIII
Probably Refuse TO Grant the Extra
dItion Papers.

Chicago, Sept. "a special from
New York says: A new phase to the
alleged European dynamite plot, which
led 70 the arrest of lyman in Boulogne,
Bell in Glasgow and Kearney and
Maine in Rotterdam was contained in
the report circulated among Irishmen
in this city yesterday to the effect that
the information which led to the arrest
of the four men and the disclosure Of
their scheme was given as the price
for the release Of DR.. Gallagher, White
head and Daily from the English prisons,
where they had been sentenced for life
for planning to blow up government
property in London. The story was
that the information OF the lyman plot
was given by friend of DR.. Gallagher
a man who had been for years working
for his release and who helped organize
the association for the relief OF the IRISH
prisoners.
A number of home rule Irishmen who
were interviewed here yesterday gave
considerable credence TO the report.
The New York police do not take much
stock in the plots OF the dynamiters.
President Roosevelt said: THE police
found it wise TO ignore utterly these
men while here. Any interference
with them only advertised them and
enabled them to get NANCY contribu-
tions. The New York police consider
common thieves more dangerous"

President piaz.s Message.

City of Mexico. Sept. I6.-The address
delivered this evening by President
Diaz, on the opening of Congress,
referring to diplomatic relations with
the United States, was in part as fol-
lows:
~Tfe 9th of May last. a convention
was concluded at Washington, whereby
the international water boundary COM
mission between Mexico and the United
States was empowered to study certain
questions bearing on the distribution Of
the waters of the Bravo or Rio Grande
river"
The mining industry in Mexico has
made remarkable progress, as is shown
not only by the large numbers Of
grants, but " the returns of the exports
of the precious metals, which during
the first nine months of the fiscal year
ending June goth last. amounted to S5o,-
$4,000, against S3S. 100000 in the cor
responding period of the preceding
year.
The most important part of the mes
sage relates to the financial situation in
Mexico, the cash revenue amounting
for the last fiscal year 10 S5o,oOoooo,
the largest revenue yet recorded, and
the year closed on June 80, with sur
plus of 81, soo,o 900 The surplus is now
in excess of S6,ooO,ooo.

had a long conference this evening with
both of the committees, al which George
Ainslie, member OF the national demo
cratic committee, was present Nothing
definite was acco nplished, and the con-
ference was adjourned until morning
It is ascertaired that the democrats
have consented 10 recognition of the
free silver republicans. but the poPulists
are still holding out and demanding that
the letter Of the compact between the
democratic and popuiist state cOnyen-
uons be carried ont. There Is a decided
revulsion OF feeling among democrats
here, and it Is the general feeling among
silver republicans tonight that the dem
ocrats will consider themselves released
and defer 10 the earnest solicitations of
both national com mittees and taSe such
action Is will fully recognize Senator
Dubois and his silver republican friends.

Yates said:

He was the bitter champion of every
thing he believed when a youth, and
could see no good in anything opposed

that free coinage won't do. Mr.. Bryan
will persist in having free coinage. He
