City of Mexico, Sept. 26.-United
States Minister Ransom says he has
been unintentionally misrepresented in
an alleged interview in which he was
made to say he had advised Americans
not to come here or to invest capital.
He says he has always pointed out to
induirers that before settling or buying
property it was wise to investigate for
themselves, and make sure that all con-
ditions were as favorable as had been
represented to them, as many mislead-
ing accounts of this country had been
published abroad. In a word, he had
urged caution, and especially had ad-
vised against immigration of unskilled
American laborers, as the country has
an abundant supply. But he had al
ways said that he could not advise any
worthy citizen of the United States to
leave that country, one of good laws
and institutions, to go to any foreign;
country. He believed Mexico has good
government, affording protection, and
that its stability was becoming more
apparent daily.

Hung Chang, who has expressed him
self in no uncertain words as to what
he thinks of women riding wheels. He

do SO and that it should not be per-

how old she was, and when he was
given to understand that we went a
little slow about inquiries of that sort,

so far from the Turks being the in

The great danger to the Ottoman

Such fanaticism was aroused by the

A DARING ROBBERY.
TWO MEN HOLD UP AN OFFICE

Stolen from Them-The Robbers Make
Good Their Escape After an Exciting
Race by Large Crowd.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 26.--Two men
carefully disguised, committed dar-
Ing robbery at the Union Foundry
company's office, on the outskirts of
brighton park yesterday afternoon,
securing $1,000 and making their ee-
cape.
In the Office when the robbers en-
tered were d. f. O'Neill, president of
the company M. A. Rourke, treasur-
err G. R. Hopke, superintendent, and
two clerks.
Mr.. Rourke was engaged in filing
the envelopes for the men, prepara-
tory to paying off, and the top of his
desk was covered with money. The
robbers compelled the five men to line
up, and while one kept them covered
with two big revolvers, the other
scooped all the money in sight, about
$1,000 and then both made a dash for
the door. They had buggy standing
near the building, and springing into
it, they drove rapidly north across
the prairie.
AS soon as the men, one of whom
was tall and the other Short were out
of the office, Hopke dashed into the
shop and gave the alarm to the sew
enty-five workmen employed there,
while President Rourke and Clerk
O'Neill, grabbing revolvers, started in
pursuit A number of shots were ex-
changed with the fleeing robbers, and
this attracted a crowd. The pursuers
steadily increased until crowd of sew
eral hundred people followed close be-
hind. Men in wagons and bicycle
riders by the score took up the chase,
but the robbers horse was a good one,
and outran all of them. In a shcrt
time the patrol wagon from the
Brighton Park police station was upon
the scene, and although the thieves
had long start, it kept after them
ON q full run.
At Thirty-sixth street and Califor-
mia avenue the buggy tipped over and
threw the robbers into the street. The
thieves quickly picked themselves up
and Jumped into Frank Nyhoft's milk
wagon, which was standing near by.
The short man fred one shot at Ny
host, the bullet taking effect in his
thigh, The robber whipped up the
horse, which was a spirited one, and
up to late hour had not been cap
tured.

man were found standing in an alley
