CITY OF MEXICO, Sept, ia most
sensational ending 10 the attempt on the
life of President Dlaz occurred this
morning when Arnulfo Arroyo was
lynched by band of the common peo-
pie determined on revenge, 1t was al
most unprecedented In the history OF
this country.
At o'clock In the morning a number
of men belonging to the common peo-
pie forced their way into the municipal
palace, ascended the stairway over
came the guards and made their way
to the office OF the Inspector general OF
police and killed Arnulfo Arroyo, whom
they found there. The killing was
wild and savage scene. and was follow
ed by Wild and noisy retreat. The as
sistant chief OF police who was sleeping
tn an adjoining room, was awakened
by the noise. He arose and ran to the
balcony, firing his pistol as signal FOR
help. At the same time he called a po-
liceman who was In sight to make an
attempt to detain the lynchers, who
were making their escape. The firing OF
pistols and the whistles of policemen
brought other officers who succeeded In
capturing score Of persons. 1t was not
long before the inspector general and
Inspector Villavicenclo arrived on
horseback.
When the police entered the room,
they found the body OF the dead man,
lying In the middle OF the floor II was
literally riddled and hacked with knife
stabs At his side were found door bar
and several knives and other steel i'm
plements. An examination showed that
the panes Of window were broken.
The men who were captured last night
would not say anything At 2 O'Clock
was found a group OF people on one OF
the side streets n few blocks from 70
calo, They were talking and discussing
the lynchInE. They appeared to know
all about the affair and were evidently
in receipt of knowledge as to its origin
and inspiration, but when they were ap-
preached by reporters they suddenly be-
came On-communlcative On several
other streets reporters found people
who seemed to know all about the kill
ing 1t may be that the report spread,
or 1t may be that the people intended to
take vengeance upon the assailant Of
the president.
When Arroyo was surprised by the
lynchers he was sitting in chair in
the northeast corner Of what was once
General Carballada's private office.
There, mixed with fragments of window
panes, was a long pool of blood mark
Ing the spot where Arroyo had been
stabbed. The body was removed to the
Fourth ward police station.
The gendarmes who were guarding
Arroyo were unarmed. II they had been
armed they would have fired on the
mob
over two hundred people penetrated
the building, When they surprised Ar
royo he was in a straight Jacket, aud
could make no resistance. He seemed
too much frightened to speak.

or q Worthy Girl Draws 10 Her an In
creased Number ofFriends.
Topeka, Kan. Sept. ia curious
conflict between social and labor ele-
ments of Missouri and Kansas occurred
to-day In which labor won the victory.
The managers of the Kansas City car
nlval, some weeks ago, invited neigh
boring towns to start voting contests
for maids of honor to Miss Frances crn-
vens, floral queen Of the carnival, who
Is n society favorite. In Chillicothe, MO.
Miss Edna Whitney became the leader
in the contest, but when the society
400" OF Kansas City learned that she
worked for living. they entered pro-
test and the chairman sent q Telegram
requesting the withdrawal OF her name,
stating 'the young lady's occupation Is
a barrier" She worked in q tobacco
factory.
The publication of the telegram stirred
both Missouri and Kansas, and labor
organizations withdrew from the Kan
sas City carnival. The managers OF the
Kansas carnival In Topeka yesterday
invited Miss Whitney TO become queen
OF the carnival and she accepted the
invitation this afternoon, Withdrawing
from the Missouri contest.
Elaborate arrangements are being
made for her reception here. Her ar
rival will be triumphant entry, and no
money or pains will be spared to make
her entertainment during the week
magnificent. More than $4,000 has al
ready been pledged for this purpose.
Congratulatory kilograms are pouring
in upon the Topeka festival committee
from the labor organizations Of Missouri
and Kansas.
Miss whitney is a beautiful and ac.
oomplshed girl. The family was once
In good circumstances, but the father
died and financial reverses followed.
Since entering the factory she has lifted
the mortgage from her home and edu-
Gated her younger sister She is the
sole support OF her mother.

Protests Against the Action of the Rank
OF England OH Silver IiuIllon.
LONDON, Sept, t7,-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon In It's financial ar
tlcle comments upon the letter OF the
governor Of the Bank OF England, Mr..
Hugh C. Smith, to the chancellor OF the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, an
nouncing that the bank Is prepared td
carry out what Is permissible In its char
ter, namely to hold In silver one-tifth OF
the bullion held against its note Issue
provided always that the French mint Il
again open to the free coinage Of silver
and that the prices al which silver is pro-
ducable and saleable are satisfactory,
The newspaper mentioned saysi AL
though the governors statement is per-
haps meaningless 80 far as practice Is
concessloned, It Is to be deeply deplored
that the bank has budged from Its prin-
ciple. 1t is not dignlhed for the old Lady
OF Threadneedle street to tiirt with the
btmetRllie faddists We want gold
against our notes, and there Is no reason
why an old statute, passed when silver
bore an entirely different character
should be refurnished at the bidding of
those who want 10 dispose OF silver. The
banks reserve Is not so large that II can
be tlnkered with. Moreover by yleldlnp
in these matters OF principle we open the
way to the thin edge of the wedge i
the threat is carried out, what would
happen Is exemplihed by the statement
of trustee, who declared he would feel
compelled to sell his bank stock, and SC
close risk"
The St. James Gazette says on the
same subject;
"The scheme seems to be knocked on
the head for the present; but the recep-
tIon OF even this feeble announcement in
the city will have an effect anything but
favorable to the bimetallists, A sub
stantlal element Of indignation arises az
the feeling that the government and
the bank have been doing little dIplo-
macy at our expense and for the advan-
tage OF Americans The United States
has done nothing 10 make such risky
politeness to the silver men on our part
popular in this country"
The Globe joining in the discussion this
afternoon has this to say on the an
nouncement Of the governor OF the Bank
OF England: 1.-THE whole scheme Is inno-
waiting and mischlevous II seems to us
wholly undesirable and even perllous to
subject our monetary system TO foreign
influence through the government. IL,
| as should have been done, the proposals
OF the United States and France had been
handed tn the directors without official
recommendation or pressure, II can
scarcely be doubted that the directors
would have firmly declined to further
the prOiect" j"

Eoiher to see that their interests, long
Injured by the irregular competition
