neral. But of late years Cody had
dropped out of public view, Not more
than a dozen persons attended the funeral
yesterday, which was held from Filleo's

PRESIDENT DIAZ' MESSAGE,
Delivered at the opsring OF Congress
Last EVDIing

Last Evor ing.
City of Mexico, Sept. 1s.-The ad-
dress delivered this evening by Presi.
dent Diaz on the opening of congress,
referring to diplomatic relations with
the United States, was in part as fol-
lows:
ION May 6, last, convention was
conluded at Washington whereby the
International water boundary commit
tee between Mexico and the United
States was empowered to study certain
questions bearing on the distribution
OF the water of the Bravo or Grand
river. The water boundary commits.
sion has settled two grave questions Of
disPuted territory arising from changes
i'll the Rio Grande, one relating to the
Chamisla tract, claimed by both com.
missions on behalf of their govern.
ments, and the other regarding the
San Eliza islet, which was awarded
by both commissions to Mexico"
Referring to the attack ON the No.
gales custom house, the president says
Mexico's legation at Washington has
been instructed to draw the attention
of the department Of state to the case,
and the extradition of the guilty per.
sons will be asked OF the United States.
The president refers to the attempt
to hold pan-American conference to
consider the Monroe doctrine. This
idea originated with the government
of Ecuador, and, although the congress
had dissolved after only few meetings
and without accomplishing anything,
it does not follow that its aims will
not be some day attained.
The mining industry in Mexico had
made remarkable progress, as was
shown not only by the large number of
grants, but by the returns.of the ex-
ports of the precious metals, which,
during the first nine months of the
fiscal year, ending June 80 last,
amounted to $50, ,S6S, 900 against $685.
300 0000 in the corresponding period
of the preceding year.
The most important part Of the mes
sage relates ito the financial situation
in Mexico, the cash revenue amount
ing for the last fiscal year to $50, ,O00,-
600, the largest revenue yet recorded,
and the year closed ON June 80 with a
surplus of $4,500,000. The surplus is
now in excess of $6,000,O 900.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-The Cali
fornia Hotel Mems Association has de.
cided to institute legal proceedings to
compel Major W. B. Hooper, manager
of the Occidental hotel, to pay 5000
into the association. This action re-
calls the story of the difficulties which
grew out of the visit to this city in
April last Of several hundred mem bers
of the Hotel Mems Mutual Benevolent
Association. To entertain the visitors
the local association raised several
thousand dollars. Major Hooper sub.
scribed 5000. The visitors arrived and
the Occidental hotel manager was
called upon to pay. He refused to do
SO on the ground that he had not been
accorded fair share Of the patronage
of the visiting hotel men. None of the
visitors went to the Occidental. At
the last quarterly meeting Major
Hooper was expelled from the associa-
tiOn,

Welcomed by the Chronicle.

London, Sept. 2l.-The Chronicle
this morning has an editorial in which
it welcomes the suggestion of the St.
James Gazette that new driebund,
including Great Britain, the United
States and Italy, would solve the
Armenian problem. The Chronicle
looks upon this as proposal having
nothing in comomn with cynical in
difference, and greatly hopes that it
will find an echo in the United States.
The Chronicle then proceeds to assert
that an American admiral was last
year ordered to lombard Yildiz palace
if there was any further massacre of
Armenians.
"These ORDERS" says the Chronicle,
"were subsequently withdrawn when
the Venezuela dispute came to head
a single example of the danger of leav-
ing such disputes to simmer until they
boil over at the most disastrous mo-
ment. The sooner Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Olney can agree to the arbitration
of the question, the better will be the
chance Of union which the st. James
Gazette 80 wisely commends."

j. X. Perry Found Guilty OF Man
slaughter at Murray, Idaho.
Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 21.-It is re-
ported from Murray that the jury
found j. E. Perry guilty Of manslaugh-
ter. Perry is the young man who
killed his mother with a hatchet in
Wallace early one morning last April
There were no witnesses to the tragedy,
although there were number of per-
sons in the immediate vicinity Of the
shanty where the killing was done,
and any violent quarrel would have
been heard. After the tragedy Perry
fed, carrying the hatchet, but was cap
tured, after fierce resistance. He had
twice been an inmate Of asylums for the
insane in Colorado and Washington.
The defense set up plea of insanity
at the trial.

are only eleven left. This means the
cessation of work on the greater part
OF the line on high ground. The reason
given for keeping the dredges at work
on the tideland is that it is desirable to

Michael the race of his life. Starbuck
lost little more than half mile in
the early part of the contest by having
no pacemakers, but in the last twenty
minutes even at the terrific gait both
were travelling, succeeded in not only
passing his competitor as they spun
around the track, but had nearly caught
him at the finish, having gained over
lap and half. Some of the credit of
this wonderful exhibition of endurance
and speed was due to Starbuck's pace
makers, who evidently tried to make
up for their early laundering, and in q
great part succeeded.

A NEW DREIBUND.
Union OF America, England and Italy
Against Turki, h MisruIe.


Against Turki, n MisruIe.
London, Sept 1S.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon published lead
ing editorial article headed "a New
Triple Alliance" The Gazette points
out the menacing tone of the Conti-
mental semi.official press ON the SUBJ
ject of Turkey, and says:
"We are openly threatened with
joint hostile European action if we in
terfere lin Turkey, against the will of
the powers, but there is one combina-
tion which British craftsmanship
might effect. Two states which have
little to gain from Russia could act
with us and end the tension. The
United States and Italy are both un.
derstood to be friendly to Russia; new
ertheless, neither is yet too deeply in
volved to be able to assume an inde-
pendent attitude under British inspira-
tion.
why should not England, the
United States and Italy form new
dreibund? AS one Of the great nations
of the earth, the United States can un-
derstand the impulse which would
drive Englishmen to war in order to
suppress tyranny CT rescue the op-
pressed. Plenty Of Americans would
regard with enthusiasm the spectacle
of the union jack and stars and stripes
floating side by side in the Bosphorous
to back their joint demand"
The Gazette says Italy is all ready to
join Egnland if invited, and concludes
that it might be expected the Russian
combination would go to pieces at the
mere prospect Of genuine league of
peace and the dreibund might lead to a
fresh grouping Of the powers and the
delivery Of the European people from
Turkish misrule and the dangerous
thraldom into which it is sinking.

Remarkable Performance of Star Pointer
at Mystic Point.
Medford, Mass, Sept. 81. - Star
Pointer, at Mystic Point, this after
noon, not only beat two accredited
faster horses-Robert j. colo and
Frank Agan (2:03A)-but paced the
three fastest heats ever made in compe-
tition, the time being 2:021a, 1903 1.3
and 2:0334, an average of 2:O314. He
also lowered the worlds record for the
fastest heat ever psced-2:02 19-as
well as the records for the fastest quar-
ter and half-29A and 59A, respec-
lively. Tho race between the three
PAGERS was phenomenal, for, while in
the first heat Robert J. was beaten by
ten lengths, in the next two he was
close on the leaders, coming in second
in the third heat Frank Agan in the
whole race was never length behind,
and at one time was nose to the
good. Star Pointer, however, man
aged to 60 under the wire first in every
heat, and must have had something in
reserve. for Mccarthy never raised his
whip in the three times.

A Startling Discovery Made in Chi
cago Lodging-House.
Chicago, Sept. 22.-Joseph Bestman,
said by the police to be an anarchist
left at 1S Sedgwick court three years
ago this fall, trunk containing sufl'
cient dynamite to have destroyed an
acre of property in Chicago, and to
have killed hundreds of people. The
discovery was made by accident Best
man was not found, but the police re-
ceived information in the afternoon
that he is living in Dallas, Tex, ana
wired the chief of police there to arrest
him at once. The discovery OF this
enormous quantity Of explosive ma
terial and the story of Bestman him
self, so far as now known to the PONCE
brings to light a tale Of anachistic plot,
tinps such as Chicago has not revealed
since the dark days Of 1885, when
the existence of the city was threat
ened, and Spies and his comrades were
swung ON the gallows for the bomb
throwing at the Haymarket massacre
Much correspondence with the COLI
demned anarchists was also found.

A SOARING MACHINE TESTED.
Octave Chanute's Invention Has Proven
Great Success.

success
Chicago. Sept 21.-The first free
test of Octave Chanute's albatross
soaring machine, invented and con-
structed by William Paul, was made
at Miller, Ind, last evening under ia
Vorable conditions, while the machine
was heavily loaded with ballast, so AS
to prevent it from flying any great dis
tance, and vas anchored by four ropes,
each 200 feet long. The three points
which the trial was to decide, first, as
to whether it would leave the chute
evenly; second, whether it would right
itself in the air; third, whether, when
1t commenced to descend, it swould
move downward slowly and alight
easlly,were all determined in a manner
gratifying both to the inventor and
owner. The flight was less than 100
feet, but the descent and final alight.
ing on the sand were as graceful and
even as though the bird from which
the machine was patterened.
The trial proved the machine perfect
" safe, proof which was the more
acceptable, inasmuch as it has been
asserted that the machine was danger.
Gus, and that an attempt to fly would
be sure to result in death to the operat.
or. Another test will be made soon
