ing the president ineligible for reelec-

one, but he was successful by a hand

Gen. Gonzales, who had been secretary
of war in his cabinet, was elected, Gen.
Diaz taking the position of president of
the judicial council. In 1884 he was
once more elected and the constitution
was so amended as to give him the right
OF succession. Under this provision he
was elected in 1888 and in 1892 and now
again in 1896.
Since Mexico achieved her independ-
ence she has had many governments,
but her constitutional presidents have
been as follows: Gen. Comonfort,
1S57-'5S; Don Benito Juarez, of Indian
birth, 1s5S-'72; Don Sebastian Lerdo de
Tejada, 1872 TO 1876; Gen. Diaz (pro-

Gonzales, 1ss0-'s4, and Gen. Diaz, 1888,
still in Office, his new term expiring in
1000. Gen. Diaz rules a country of
751.7oO square miles, divided into 9:
states, two territories and federal dis
trict, with an assessed value of $780,

11,632,924. He will be inaugurated De-
cember and will be assisted In gov

affairs, home affairs, justice and public
instruction, colonization, industry and
commerce, treasury and public credit,
war and the navy. and communication
and public works. He has an army Of
about $4,000 men and total fighting
strength of about 100000 men. The
naval interests are protected by two I'M
armored vessels and three small gun
beats. OF all the rulers of Mexico not
one has advanced her interests or de-
veloped her resources more thoroughly
than Porfirio Diaz.

snoM-Melting Machine.

In preparation for next winter an
Italian has invented snow-melting ma
chine. In this machine a lift receives
the snow gathered up by shovel, sub
jects it to the heat of pipes filled with
boiling water and allows the liquid thus
obtained to flow into tank and then
into the street gutter. The machine is
driven by motor and brush at the
rear sweeps to the side whatever es-

POLITICS IN MEXICO.
President Diaz Reelected for Another
Term of Four Years.

In the excitement and confusion at
tendant upon the preliminaries of the
presidential campaign in this country
it may be entirely overlooked that the
neighboring republic of Mexico has just
finished her presidential election in a
quiet and orderly manner and has tri-
umphantly reelected Gen. Diaz.
The successful candidate is undoubt-
eddy the ablest statesman in Mexico
and one of her most remarkable men in
every way, under whose past admins

parative peace and large share of pros
perity. His political career has been
a remarkable one. He was first elected
to the presidency in 1877 upon plat

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
CENTRAL STATION.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, May IL, 'e6.
The past week was urseasonably
hot and generally dry, with more than
an average amount of sunshine and
high winds. The daily excess of tenn.
perature ranged from 8 to IL degrees.
For the week ending Saturday, the
rainfall was but little more than a
trace iii the larger part of the state.
Later reports by wire ard mail show
that the light showers on Sunday
evening extended over considerable
area i'll the central and northern dis.
tricts. The southern districts are in
pressing need of moisture for the
pastures and small grain crops.
Conditions were generally favorable
for corn planting, and good progress
is reported i'll all sections. In the
central and southern districts the
work is nearing completion, and by
the close of the coming week it will be
partially finished i'll all parts of the
state.
Early planted corn terminated
readily, showing a good stand and
color. and the work of cultivation is
already we'll begun in some localities.
Grass and small grain have made
good advancement, and with timely
rams will fulfill their early promise
Chinch bugs are beginning to cause
some anxiety in some parts of the
southern districts.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
For Fire Protection.

The progressive, enterprising class
in Lime Springs are striving to pro-
vide the village with ample means to
stay a confagration should one
through any means threaten it's exist
ence. The preliminary steps to this
end is an election Monday next to de-
eide the question of authorizing
five per cent tax upon the assessable
property of the town to provide the
means which will raise about $4,000
probably extending over period of
tive years making an annual
tax of one per cent. With this they
propose to erect an 10000 barrel tank
at an elevation of about 60 feet, and
put insmains upon the streets so as to
provide the means of giving ample
protection to property in the re-
motest parts of the village. The pro-
ject is feasible and good and should
meet with an unanimous endorsement
of Its people next Monday. 1t will be
the means of a great saving to the
business men and others in the rates
of insurance, and can be made to af-
ford considerable revenue by supply
ing its citizens with water for their
daily use. The voters should arouse
from their lethargy and take this step
forward in the grand march of pro-
gress and protection to their property
and their homes

and a number OF arrests were made, but
the prisoners were promptly rescued.

efforts made toSgem the tide OF lawless'

listened sullenly TO the reading OF the

A NEW TUG in PORT.
The r. d. Little Makes It's Initial Trip
In the Harb0r.

III tnc HaTpOT.
Just before O'Clock last evening there
was a general footing of whistles of the
various steam crafts on the harbor, while
the bells and steam whistles on the differ
ent shops and manufacturing establish
ments along the shore were also sounded.
All of this racket was on account of the
arrival in the harbor Of the new and
handsome tug boat X. B. Little, which
is the property of TIE X. Il. Little Coal
Company. When the new craft left its
dock for a spin about the harbor, there
was salute from good sized can
non in the dock. This caused
the passengers on the many boats in the
vicinity 10 look about, and then they
saw the new tug shoot out into the
stream. She was literally covered with
bunting, and from n flagstaff at her stern
was n monster "Old Glory" Every one
had something TO say about the boat.
Some said she was boat going to New
port for the illumination and those on
board were the Governor ana staff.
Others said that she was the boat carry
ing the committee on illumination, but
those on board were MIR. Little, his family
and a few invited guests The tug Will
be used in towing barges which ara
owned by the company between this port
and New York.
The tug was built Mt Staten Island.
She is built similar to the woll-known
tugs Joseph Stickney and p. j. Scully,
but she has ali the modern improve
ments. She has a iore-and-aft low pres
sure engine. 15x30, with 2i-inch stroke.
She has also an electric search light, and
rs lighted by electricity throug hout.
The tug is 93 feet in length. n feet
beam, with depth OF hold 10 feet. The
captain is Mr.. John Smith of Jersey
City, her chief engineer being Mr.. Man
fred Tuttle.

Drift Wood in the River.

Some time ago the captsins of the
steamers, tug boats, ETC., plying in these
waters were called upoi by the city
officials to make slower time between
Point street bridge and Fox Point, and
now one of the captains retaliates by
asking the city officials TO keep tho
channel clear of drift wood, for, said one
of the oldest captains of the Providence,
Fall River and Newport line to NEWS
representative today, the boats could not
go fast IL their captains wanted them to-
ON accoun, of drift wood. which IL
dropped into the river from the bridge

No other city government, lac said,
would allow any such actions.
