CELEBRITIES ARE EXPECTED.


COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 27.-At the Co
lumbus auditorium tomorrow sfter-
noon will be opened the first annual
convention of the mayors and council
men of the United States and Canada.
The official call for this meeting, issued
last spring, was so broad and so elias
tic as to eligibility, and the invitations
were SO general that the managers of
the affair have predicted an attend
ance of fully 1000; but tonight the in
dications are that less than 800 acered-
tied delegates will be enrolled in the
organization. The convention will COW
er four days, with morning, afternoon
and night sessions, and eoineident with
it, in a neighboring hall, will be held
the second annual convention of the
National Street Lighting association,
organized in New Haven, Conn, in 1896.
In some instances the same municipal
officials are delegates to both eonVen-
tiohS.
Papers and addresses are promised
on a wide range of municipal topics,
such as water, gas, electric light and
street car service, the equipment Of po-
lice and fire departments, pavemenrs,
sewerage, the disposition of garbage
and the protection of the public health.
Such national celebrities as Gov. Pin
gree, Of Michigan; Mayor Warwick, of
Philadelphia; Mayor Quincy, of Boston,
and Mayor Harrison, of Chicago are
on the programme for speeches., and
Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio, will deliver the
formal address of welcome a | the op. n
ing session. The topic most Likely TO
provoke spirited discussion and perhaps
result in some decisive action b. the
convention is that Of the mini :ipal
ownership of gas, water and electric
light plants and the control of mln;ci-
pal franchises in general.
In connection with the convention
there will be an interesting exhibition
of fire, police, paving, li2hrirs ali1
drainage apparatus, and the patentees
and vendors Of every SOFT Of appliance
and device of interest to municipal Of
ficers are already here in large numbers
and preparing to work" he conVen-
tion for all it is worth.
A permanent organization VIII be
formed, and provision made for a sys-
tematic and thorough invest: :gal on Of
the conditions affecting the solutien OF
what are coming to be known as "mu-
nicipal problems" but beyond this not
much is looked for except the exter-
sion of official acquaintance ana q gcn-
eral interchange of views.
Tampa, Fla, has the distinction tf
the first arrival of an accredited dale
gate, while Lincoln, y. j.. IS a cand!-
date for fame by sending to the con-
vention women delegates from her ,nu-
nicipal council. They arrived tonight
resplendent in badges. Numerous ron-
mittees of the citizens of COLUMBUS are
preparing for the entertainment OF the
visitors on an elaborate scale. Mayor
Black, of Columbus, is being talked of
as president of the mayors or:;an!zt-
ton, but other candidates for the honor
may appear as the meeting progresses.

SEBASTIAN FORM ADOPTED.
Western Lines VIII Issue Inter
changeahie MiIeuge New. L.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-At the meeting
of the Western committee of the West
ern Passenger association lines today,
it was agreed commencing Nov. /,
1897, that the Western lines, for the ter
ritory now covered by the western
lines mileage bureau, would, in ad-
dition to the present forms of one and
two-thousand mile tickets now on sale,
place in effect the So-called inter
changeable mileage credit system
which is to be Interchangeable be-
tween all the lines. -[-
The credit system consists of a mile
age credit permit, which will be issued
through station agents to any one who
desires to avail himself of the arrange
ment. Upon presentation of this per
init, by the holder and the. purchase,
and use of regular one-Way tick
cts between points in the territory
over any or all lines to the extent of
1900 miles, the holder becomes entitled
to a refund of the difference between
the amount paid and the net rate of
two cents per mile. At the time of the
purchase of a one-way ticket, the pur-
chaser is furnished by the selling agent
a certificate which contains a credit
certificate, detached by the passenger
and retained for making application
for the refund, the certificate proper,
which is presented to the conductor by
the holder, in connection with his pas
sage ticket, and upon which the pas
senger places his signature in the
presence of the conductor, being sent
to the mileage bureau. These permits
will be good, in the sale of tickets, is
suance of the certificates and checking
of baggage thereon, by whoever pre-
sented, the only condition being that
the refund will not be made unless the
examination of the certificate issued
thereon in the mileage bureau, shows
that the two thousand miles have been
used by one and the same person.
This arrangement was adopted by all
lines in the committee territory, men,
bers of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, as we'll as the other lines IN
the territory, including the Chicago
Great Western, Wisconsin Central and
Minneapolis & st. Louis railway. This
method of handling the interchange
able mileage is that devised by Gen
eral Passenger Agent Sebastian, of the
Rock Island road.

twenty-five years ago with SoTt OIL

CANADIAN BUSINESS.
Travelling Passenger Agents Are oI
After Ii,

A number of the travelling passenger
agents in this territory left last night
for a sort of preliminary skirmish
with the agents from whose territory
the bulk of the Canadian excursion
business comes. This business usually
begins about December. 1t has to be
locked after and consists in traffic
which originates within the Canadian
border and which, but for the shrewd
switching of it, goes to points in Can
ada east of Detroit and Port Huron
via St. Paul and Chicago. 1t is quite
a volume, and Canadian excursion has
come to be a byword with the wise
T. P. AS. who know that they have
to get the business first for their lines
and then after they have nailed it,
see to it that it is not stolen away
from them. The agents of the Can
adian Pacific, in whose territory most
of the business originates, are, of
course, supposed to route the traffic
via that road, but by routing it over
other lines there are commissions
forthcoming. and it is sometimes a
struggle TO get the business carried
as it is originally slated. There is where
the fun comes in and many a hot fight
for business has been held in Winni-
peg, where most of the travellers make
their headquarters during the brief
season, for it is all over by Christmas

MEXICO'S SENSATION.
widespread Plot Against Diaz Is
Now Suspected.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept 27.-Arroyo,
who assaulted President Diaz on Sept.
16, and who was killed the same night
in the municipal palace, died at the
hands of band of braves who were
acting a part in a conspiracy. The
first intimatien of this fact came from
Chief of Police Velasquez, who con-
fessed that Arroyo had been assassi-
mated and not lynched. Velasquez was
placed in prison, but was found dead
in his cell the day after he confessed,
with a bullet wound in his left temple.
The warden of the prison is in turn in
Jail, under suspicion of having knowl-
edge of the killing. The assault, the
alleged lynching and suicide have
followed each other with such startling
suddenness, that the public is greatly
excited, and the whole republic is in
terested in probing the affair to the
bottom to ascertain, if possible, Wheth-
er or not a murderous plot is in eXis-
tence to overthrow Diaz. That Arroyo
was murdered by braves has been
made clear by the latest witness ex-
amined, a gendarme named Cosme
Cosa, who was. on duty near the city
hall on the night of the chiefs death,
ard saw them enter the building

TRAIN STAFF SYSTEM.
milwaukee Extends Its Use-De-
scriDtiOn of 1t.

The train-staff system is now being
installed at the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St Paul's new bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at Kansas City. Three
years ago last May Signal Engineer c..
A. Goodnow, of that company, intro
duced the train staff into the United
States. 1t was put in operation at the
Mississippi bridge, between Savanna,
ILL.,, and Sabula, To-, and has given
complete satisfaction, Although prae-
ticaIly every mile of single track on
the English railways is operated un-
der this system, the American roads
have been slow to adopt it. The Ches-
apeaIe &, Ohio uses it in mountain
tunnels which have but one track, but
with this exception the st. Paul road
is the only American road which has
taken to the staff.
Mr.. Goodnow describes the train staff
as at once a block signal, train dis
hatcher and a time table, being to the
movement of trains between stations
