M'KENNA AND SECTION TWENTY-FIVE
Said to Have Declared the Discriminating
Clause Too Vague

tlause 100 vague.
Washington. Sept. 20.-A special corre-
spondent Of the Chicago Times Herald
telegraphs his paper as follows: Section
% of the Dingley tariff act does not i'm
pose discriminating duties upon goods
brought into the United States through
contiguous countries under consular seal
or upon goods imported through ocean
ports in foreign vessels which are not
specially exempted by treaty Attorney
General McKenna is Of the opinion that,
except as TO goods not the product of
contiguous country which are imported
into the United States directly from such
contiguous country, the language OF the
section is not clear enough to make il
certain that congress intended TO change
the previously existing law
HE believes that the verbiage is alto
gether too vague to justify interpre-
tation changing In any way the law as
contained in the revised statutes as far
as IL affects imports through ocean
ports or through contiguous coun-
tries under the consular seal.
This is the opinion OF the attor-
ney general as IL stands tonight" SEN

Far Location of the Cases Now Covers
All Sections of the City. but the Health
Officers Keep Up Their Hope That They
Can Combat the Epidemic--Fifteen New
Cases at Edwards, Mississippi.
New Orleans, Sept. 1S.-The fever sit
uation in New Orleans yesterday as
sumed a somewhat more serious aspect
than at any time since Sunday, when
six of the st. Claude cases were de-
clared TO be yellow fever. At 6 o'clock
last evening the board of health Of
ficially announced the appearance OF
eight new cases, and of these one death.
that of Zena Brauner. At the Office of
the board of health the reports were
considered somewhat surprising and dis
appointing. The situation had so ma
terially improved Thursday night that
ii was felt that pretty much the worst
had come, and that conditions would
improve. Thursday, however, was one
of the hottest days of the month, and
as yellow fever thrives in that charaC-
ter of weather there seems TO have
been a rapid development of germs. The
physicians still feel that there is much
that is satisfactory in the situation.
One Fact That Is Significant.
1t is true that the new cases represent
the extreme upper, the extreme lower
and central portions Of the city, bu.
there has been no serious spread from
the original foci and the opinion is still
expressed that the disease may be con-
trolled and that there is no imminent
danger of an epidemic. Secretary Pat
ton, of the board. said last evening:
THE appearance of eight cases today
is not necessarily alarming. l said three
evenings ago that the prospects seemed
to point TO the development here of az
least fifty cases as a result of constant
intercourse we have been having with
the infected towns on the gulf coast and
the fact that a promscuous throng of
some 700 or 500 people had FASTENED into
the city on the Monday evening fol-
lowing the declaration of the Ocean
Springs sickness TO be yellow fever.
Takes Hopeful View.
1--WE have had now twenty-eight
cases and two deaths. The majority of
the remaining cases are improving. 1t
is still quite likely that there will APP
pear numerous cases in New Orleans,
but the situation is not distressing ard
the chances of disastrous epidemic are
remote"
Zena Brauner, Of Webster and Sec
ond streets, Carrolton, is the death re-
ported. The Brauner case was first
brought to the attention of the board
early in the week. Close attention had
been given ii, but while the symptoms
justified suspicion they were not suffi-
GENTLY aggravated TO warrant an abso-
lutte declaration that the case was yell
low fever.

Tramp of the Mob Is Heard.

The apartment was very still, except
for the murmer Of the conversation be-
tween the officer and prisoner, when sud-
denly was heard the formidable noise Of
the tramping of many feet on the stairs
leading up to the floor on which the Of
fees are situated, and there were con-
fused shouts of Long live President
Diaz:" Long live Mexico and death to
anarchists" Arroyo shuddered, and with
good reason, for Immediately the door
was burst open and great crowd Of

Details of the Tragedy.
City of Mexico. Sept. 1s.-Anulfoa Ar
royo, the miscreant who Thursday made
an attempt upon the life of President
Diaz, was set upon by a mob OF in
furiated citizens late Thursday night
and killed with knife stabs.
General satisfaction was expressed
here yesterday as the news of the lynch
ing spread through the city, although
the more reflective people, especially
business and professional men, said they
deplored the act Of mob violence and
feared II would be misinterpreted
abroad. Some of the highest officials Of
the government said that they were
wholly puzzled to account for this out
burst of popular feeling and regretted
that measures had not been taken TO
guard the prisoner more carefully. From
the moment Arroyo was arrested Thurs
day masses of people kept clamoring for
his life. A great crowd of lower classes
followed the gen d'armes TO the national
palace, where the prisoner was turned
over to the civil authorities by request
Of President Diaz. who was opposed to
having the man tried by court martial.
Intended to XIII the President.
Acting on the wish expressed by Pres
ident DiaZ, Arroyo was taken under
guard to the police headquarters in the
city hall. At night he was taken, clad
in straight Jacket, to the office Of the
Inspector OF police, which consists Of
two rooms with two windows opening
on the street The prisoner was given
a mat to rest on, and was carefully
guarded Near at hand in an adjoining
apartment were four officers Of the Sc
cret service. Arroyo manifested a cyni-
cal indifference. and was in no way in
clined to regret his act. and declared he
had intended to stun the president and
then, taking his small sword, to kill

An Angry Bull Broke From the Ring

YUMA, Ariz.. April 1.-THE grania fiesta
of Yuma wound up last night with wild
west sports and Spanish bun lights, whicn
constituted a cIowning feature of the five
days reveiry. The feature of the show
which drew the crowds was the Spanish
bull fight. headed by the renowned bull
fighter, Capt. Carlos Garcia, from Juarez,
Mexico. Capt. Carlos Garcia and his
troupe of tcreadors and picadors, fnclud-
ing La CarlOta, I female bull fighter, dis
played wonderful skill in fighting fierce
animals but a magnificent black bull, Por-
fiero Dfaz, proved himself almost invinc-
i5le, and before he was dispatched in the
third fight he caught Capt. Garcia upon
his long. slender horns and ripped open
the mans jaw. Capt. Garca's wound may
prove fatal
The bull. stung to frenzy by the tor
ments of the toreadors and picadors, charg-
ed full at the bull pen, and though it was
strongly built. he smashed into kindling
the wood panel of the pen and rushed into
the grounds surrounding the ampntheater,
which was filed with people. Many were
injured. The roulette table, stack with
gold and silver coins, was tossed high in
the air and the money scattered in the
dust. Straight through the crowd the en-
ragged animal sped, out into the main street
of Yuma, but fortunately 10 more per-
sons were in the way
After a long chase and hard work the
bull was returned.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-JosephWhar-
ton Of this city, large stockholder Of the
Bethlehem iron works ard a director of the
company, expressed surprise when informed
Of Senator Chambers proposition that the
government seize the Carnegie and Beth
lehem plants He characterized the idea as
absurd in the highest degree.
The statement that the Carnegie and
Bethlehem plants were begging for govern
ment aid few years ago is entirely false"
he said. 1T Is fact that neither company
will make armor plates for $500 ton, or
anything like that price. When we began
the business of armor-plate making some
years ago we got about $3.50 ton for plain
steel plates. Since then the process of
manufac ctEre has been complicated, and We
have had to furnish more expensive ma
terial. Now we have to put s25 worth of
nickel In each ton. Besides that, We must
Harveyize the metal, which is a costly
operation. and in doing it many plates are
spoiled. Or course. we have to bear the
loss. The price we have recently been
getting IS not extortionate. 1t Is a fact
that the United States has been paying less
for armor plates of this quality than any
other country In the world

on Saturday to Sir Alfred Miner the new
ly appointed high commissioner of Great
Britain in South Africa. has produced a

The rorpedonBoat Mackenzie,

By being possessed of the name of Mac
kenzie. torpedo boat No. II promises to be
ore of the most talked of vessels that were
ever constructed for the navy. Every duty
that she will be called upon to perform Of
any import will recall the sea tragedy of
1910. when the press of the whole Union
discussed the action of Commander Mac
kenzie of the brig Somers in hanging at
the yard arm q midshipman (son of the
Secretary of War. poatswain's mate
and a seaman! The charge of mutiny
was brought against these men, and they
were condemned at sea by council Of
six officers. before which they were neither
brought nor alloWe,i to make any explana-
ton, or even be heard in their defense
Subsequently Commander Mackenzie was
tried by court martial and acquitted of the
charges brought against him. The finding
of the court, however was bitterly assail-
ed at that time by many of the leading
newspapers. and James Fenimore Cooper
the great novelist and naval writer in re-
viewing the action of the court, thus spoke
of MackenZie's action: 'If not one of
basest cowardice, 1t was of lamentabie de-
fciency of judgment"
The torpedo boat has been named after a
gallant son of the commander of the
Somers. This young officer was killed by
savages on the Island of Formosa, but the
event Is comparatively unknown outside of
naval circles.
The Mackenzie will recall the fearful
tragedy of the Somers, and not the assault
upon the pirates of Formosa. And this is
evidenced by the fact that the story of
the Somers is told in print every few years.
while the tale of the Formosan skrmish
has long ceased to be of public interest
