sand operators on the Chase Lasting
machine IN the Shoe factory and in
Brock,On and vicinity struck today. The
strike fever has already spread to the
edge settlers and at several factories the
men are Il on strike. Should the
strike become general $500 men wiuld
re involved.
The strike is directed against the
Chase company and is machines. The
trouble grew out of the recent strike OF
the las;ers at the factory OF Churchill &
Allen. When the men left their work
thCr" and demanded an increase in
wages the Chase machine company sent
is agents iEto the factory 10 take the
strikers places.
Treasurer Waller Shaw, who is act
ing manager OF the Chase Machine COM
pany. said today that he would seek no
conference with the strikers and would
most assuredly keep his men in the fac
cory Of Churchill & Allen and use every
endeavor to fulfill his contract with the
firm. He also said he would endeavor to
find men to operate The machines in 9TH

TROOPS FOR ALASKA.
Cabinet Meeting Decides to Send a Gem
pany There.

Washington. Sept. 17.-At today's
cabinet meeting, which lasted over two
hours. the situation in Alaska was dis
cussed. Secretary OF War Alger had q
report from Captain Ray. who has just
arrived at ST. Michael. which furnishes
the basis for the discussion and the
course which was decided upon Cap
tain Rays report a in the nature OF
an urgent appeal for troops to preserve
peace and order during the coming win
ter. There are a vas. amount Of stores
and supplies at ST. Michael. and there is
not a United States soldier in the whole
territory O: Alaska.
After considering the subject it was
decided to send a company Of infantry
to ST. Michael as soon as possible. Sec
rotary Alger will arrange the detail i'm
mediately and he proposes to have the
company sail within a week, probably
from Seattle. He has not yet selected
the officer who will be placed in COM
mand, nor does he yet know from what
post the company will be taken.
This action will be in effect the estab-
lishment Of a military post at the mouth
of the Yukon. The commanding officer
probably will be allowed great discretion
and latitude, as the purpose in sending
the troops there is to preserve order.
Secretary Alger declines. at present. to
make public Captain Rays report.
1t is understood that the administra.
ton will take some action looking to
the apprehension and punishment OF the
assassins Of Mr.. Lottin. the colored post
master at Hogansville, Ga. who was
murdered on Tuesday.

AN INCDNsED PoPUI4ACE.

New York, Sept. ia special from
gram says:
Arrayo, who yesterday assaulted Pres
ident Diaz. was lynched last night by a
mob Of common people. About 20 OF
the lynchers were arrested. The mob
had apparently no organization, but it
was directed In some mysterious way.
They broke into the Jail by forcing the
doors with huge timbers handled by
100 men. The Y overpowered the guards
and surrounded them, while a detail Of
men ran down the corridor and dragged
out the trembling Arrayo.
His name is Ignacio Arrayo, and he
has Of late been employed in a notary's
office as a clerk, and Is said by the chief
of police to have a record as a man Of
violent habits, given to drink and quar-
rels. Various stories are told regarding
his design on the president. one theory
icing that he was armed with a dagger,
as many police believe. but il 30. he
must have thrown 1t away. as no weap-
on was found on him. 1t seems almost
certain that he intended harm, as at the
moment Of dealing the blow he used OPP
probrious terms and seemed almost
maniacal.

PRESIDENT DIAZiS ASSAILANT
MEETS DEATH AT THE HANDS
OF A MOB.
Curious Enough the Gendarmes Had NO
Arms With Them and Therefore
Could Not Keep Back The Mob-As
Usual. the Men Who Composed the
Lynching Party are Unknown.

City Of Mexico, Sept. 1.-THE most
sensational ending to the attempt on the
life Of President Diaz occurred this
morning when Arnulfo Arrayo was
lynched by a band of The common peo-
pie determined on revenge. 1t was an
act unprecedented in the history Of this
country.
Al l O'Clock this morning a number OF
men belonging to the common people
forced their way into the municipal pal
ace. assembled the stairway, overcame
the guards and made their way 10 the
office OF the inspector general and killed
Arnulfo Arrayo. whom they found
there.
The killing was a wild and savage
scene and was followed by a wild and
noisy retreat. The assistant chief OF po-
lice, who was sleeping in an adjoining
room. was awakened by the noise. He
arose and ran &c the balcony. firing his
pistol as a signal for help. At the same
time he called ? policeman who was in
sight to make an attempt to detain the
l%ynchers. who were making their escape.
The firing Of pistols and the whistles Of
policemen brought other officers. who
succeeded in capturing a score Of per-
sons. 1t was not long before the in
spector general and Inspector viIlavi-
cencio arrived on horseback. When the
pc ice entered the room they found the
lody OF the dead ma. lying in the md
die Of the floor.
1t was literally riddled with bullets
and knife stabs. BY his side were found
a door bar and several knives and other
steel instruments. An examination
showed that the panes Of a 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 side of the street a few
blocks from Zocali. They were talking
and discussing the lynching. They ap-
peared to know all about the affair, and
were evidently in receipt OF knowledge
as to its origin and inspiration. but when
they were approached by reporters they
suddenly became non-communicative.
1t may be that the report spread, or it
may be that the people intended t o take
vengeance upon the assailant OF the
president.
When Arrayo was surprised by the
multitude, he a sitting in a chair in
the northeast corner Of what once was
General Carbellada's private office.
which is now undergoing repairs. There,
mixed with fragments OF window panes.
was a long pool OF blood. marking the
spot where Arrnyo had been stabbed.
The body was removed t o the Fourth
ward police station municipal building.
which is marked by a trail Of blood.
The gendarmes who were guarding Ar
rayo were unarmed. II they had been
armed they would have fired on the mob.
Over 200 people penetrated the building.
When they surprised Arrayo he was in a
straight jacket. and could make no re.
sistance. He seemed too terrified to
speak.
