silver Democrats and the Populists in
this state is not yet plain sailing. The
late State Democratic Convention
nominated for Congress-at-large De
Witt c. Dewitt of Towanda. Demo
crat, and Jerome +. Altman of Juniata
county, Peoples party, with the under
standing that J, P. Correll of Easton,
Ailman's colleague, should withdraw.
Correll declines now to get OFF the
ticket, and if he persists in his refusal
Chairman Garman will call the state
committee together and declare a va.
cancy on the Democratic ticket for
Congress-at-large. Mr.. Garman will do
this because he considers the continu-
ance of Correll as Peoples party
candidate 4 breach in the agreement
L sde between that party and the
Stale Democratic Convention.

that he cannot endorse the Chicago

President Diaz Speaks Of tine Inter
national Water Question
and Finances In Fine
| Condition.

City of Mexico, September 1.-THE
address delivered last evening by Pres
ident Diaz, on the opening of the legis-
lature referring to diplomatic relations
with the United States was in part as
follows: "The 9th of May last conven
tion was concluded at Washington, where
by the international water boundary
commission between Mexico and the
United States was empowered to study
certain questions bearing on the distribu-
tion of the waters of the Bravo or Rio
Grande river. The water boundary COM
mission has settled two grave question of
disputed territory arising from changes
in the bed of the Rio Grande, one relat-
ing to the Chamisa tract, claimed by both
commissions on behalf of their govern
ments, and the other regarding the San
Eiizaria islet, which was awarded by both
commissions to Mexico"
The mining industry in Mexico has
made remarkable progress, as shown not
only by the large numbers of grants but
by the returns of the exports of the prec-
ious metals, which during the first nine
months of the fiscal year ending June 30
last amounted to $50,86l,00 against
3S,300000 in the corresponding period
of the preceding year.
The most important part of the mes
sage relates to the financial situation in
Mexico, the cash revenues amounting for
the last fiscal year to $50,000000, the
largest revenue yet recorded, and the
year closed on June 30 with surplus of
$4,500,OOO. The surplus is now in excess
of $6,000,0O0.
