They DenOuncc the Government,
Tear Up a Flag and Get MObbed I'm
the Resulting Riot.
Chicago, Sept. IS. - Two men, sup
posed to be the emissaries of some an
archistic society, denounced the gov
eminent, branded the Poles of Chicago
as cringing towards, and as a climax,
tore a small American flag to shredS
at Blackhawk and Noble streets last
night. The result was a small-sized
riot, during which the supposed anar-
chists were badly beaten. Had it not
been for the fact that the horse at
tached to the light wagon from which
they were speaking became frightened
by the angry shouts of half hundred
Poles and ran away down the street
the two men would probably have
been dangerously injured, if not killed
outright AS it was, a crowd of in
furiated men chased the runaway for
several blocks, throwing stones and
sticks at the half-unconsciOus and
blood-cOvered men, who crouched in
the bottom of the wagon, terrified and
suffering from many wounds. me
chase was a lively one, but the horse
soon tired out its pursuers and the
two men escaped.

DIAZ,S CLOSE CALL.
Desperate Assault on the President
of Mexico.


of Mexico.
City of Mexico, Sept. IS. - Ignacio
Anulfca, a violent character, ass aulted
President Diaz yesterday during the
military procession. The man was
felled by a cane in the hands of n
companion of the president and was
Immediately taken into custody by the
authorities. The central thoroughfores
of the city We're thronged by thou
sands of people assembled to see the
military procession usual on indie
pendence day, pass by The sidewalks,
balconies and housetops were crowded
with people and residences were pro-
fusely adorned with the national col
Crs.
After a short wait the murmur ran
through the crowd that the president
was coming on foot dressed in the
uniform of a general of the division.
The president, bowling right and left
to the applauding crowds came, inn
mediately behind him being Gen.
Bradillo, the governor of the national
palace, who served in the same ca
pacity under Emperor MaXimillian.
Following them were other officers,
cabinet ministers, etc.
Suddenly near the Alameda there
was disturbance in the crowd on the
sidewalk, and we'll built muscular
man with flowing, black hair and
moustacbe. forced his way by ire
mendous effort past the gendarmeS
and soldiers and jumped between the
president and Gen. PredillO and the
obiof of Ctoff ond 1paIt
a blow at the back of the presidents
neck But the violence of the blow
was diminished by the fact that he
was crowded between the president
and officers. The president turned
around and caught sight of his assail-
ant and resumed his march with adj
mirable GOODNESS.
Meantime Chief of Staff Monasterio
hit the man with cane. The aSSa1l-
ant turned, seized the cane and broke
it. Gen. PradillO then hit him pow
erful blow on the neck, telling him.
He was then seiZen and pinioned by
officers and taken through a side
street and led away, the people shout
ing: "Give him to us; we will hang
him." The man was taken to the
palace and stripped but no weapon
was found on his person. He was
taken to the city hall, securely bound
ard placed in solitary confinement at
ter being questioned by the officers.
1t seems almost certain that he in
tended harm, for at the moment of
dealing the blow he used opprobious
terms and was most maniacal. The
president, on returning to the palace,
was cheered by the crowds, and an
immense crowd assembled in front of
the palace, cheering him, shouting and
calling for the president. There is no
doubt that if the prisoner had fallen
into the hands of the people he would
have been torn to pieces, so intense
was their rage.
