DIAz oPANs CONGRESS-.
Is Hopeful Regarding the Financial
Future of The Country.

City OF Mexico, Sept. 1.-THE presi-
dent received an ovation on entering the
chamber of deputies to- open the con-
gress, all present desiring to show their
satisfaction that he had escaped I'M
harmed from an attempted assault. AS
he left the hall a man approached to
address him, but was Immediately ar
rested by the gen d'armes.
President Dtaz opened congress last
evening by reading his semi-annual
mess G GOVERN g the period s.nce Ap Ill.
He said the country was at peace with
all civilized countries and was grad
ually making more intimate ties with
them. He noted the decision of the
court of claims at Washington adverse
to the La Abra claim, which had been
pronounced fraudulent, and went on to
consider the question of the proposed
international dam, remarking:
Frontier towns from JaureZ for
distance of 113 kilometers down the Piv-
er have suffered damages which amount
to many millions of dollars and have
lost large number of inhabitants on
account of the frequent foundations
from the Rio Grande and use of water
of the river for irrigation purposes on
land in the United States, which has
greatly reduced the volume of water.
In order to remedy as far as possible
these evils, a great international reser-
Voir has been planned and negotiations
opened at Washington by our minis
ter.

of the United States, overcoming the
difficulties raised by spectators, will

ADELAIDE HERMANN
introduces Dancing in Her Entertain
ment of Feats of Magic.

OF Adelaide Hermann and her Won
derful dances, the Chicago Tribune had
the following to say at the time of
Herrmann'S company opening in that
city:
Adelaide Hermann was most enthu-
siastically received when she appeared
in circle of light in the middle of the
darkened stage for her first dance. All
praise is due to her for the work which
she has accomplished in keeping the
company of her husband together and
in preserving the same standard of eff
cheney.
She has displayed a degree of cour-
age and energy that is possessed by
few women of the stage, and her efforts
were warmly acknowledged last night
Generally speaking, one serpen tine
dance is rather like another, but on
this occasion Nine. Hermann succeed
ed in producing effects of color and
shape which we have never seen before.
Her performance is really a remarka-
bic one of IT'S kind, to say nothing of the
physical exertiOn which it must entail
There has always been a difficulty in
giving an exhibition of the conjurer's
skill during whole evening without
wearing upon the nerves of an audience.
For this reason the share that Nine
Hermann takes in the entertainment is
of great value, besides being wonderful
ly artistic in itself.
For the rest, Leon Hermann con-
trives by his quickness and magnetism
to obviate any possible m0notOny in
the evenings programme"
The HerrmannS will be seen at the
Grand in this city next Tuesday night.

st. Louis, Sept. 1.-THE coal miners
strike is over, so far as the district sup
plying the st. Louis market is concern
ed.
Seventeen mines in the sixth Illinois
district resumed work today. 1t is pro-
bable that all the small opera tors in
the district will come into line before
the end of the week. The Duquoin men
will return to work Friday morning
The representatives of the strikers
were met by II of the independent oper-
ators The men submitted a PROPOSE
ton for a scale of 81 cents, top weight,
mine run.
After a long consulta ton it was &C
cepted late in the afternoon. The big
Consolidated and Madison companies
ignored the call for the conference They
now have a three cornered fight on their
hands. The Independent operators and
the miners agreed to make common
warfare on the two big companies The
small operators will employ as many as
possible of the strikers formerly en-
ployed by the Madison and Consolidat-
ed companies.
1t is probable that double shafts Will
be worked The Consolidated and Mad
ison companies will not be able to get
men to dig coal for them until they sign
the scale.

The postoffice department and the

bic increase of business.
Referring to the question of silver, as
affecting the finances of Mexico, he
says;
Unfortunately the present fiscal year
does not begin under as good auspices
as the previous one, for the excessive
weakness and fluctuations of silver,
often sudden and violent in their char
acter, have so Influenced the economic
situation of the country, that it is de-
handing the serious attention of the
government and has caused the adop-
ton of measures of prudence. all eXpen-
ses not absolutely necessary being de-
ferred or reduced.
THE magnitude and sudden chaVac-
ter of the present perturba ton in silver
certainly do not correspond to the
known causes which have produced it,
and therefore, are well founded motives
for expecting that the factors, more or
less artificial, which may have had an
influence in the decline of silver. Will
be of short duration and may even soon
brir g about a favorable reaction.
There is not, therefore, for the pres
ent any serious reason for alarm. The
nation will be able to pass through
this difficult period confronting it with
the same serenity which it displayed a
produced alarm
This portion of his message attracted
great atten ton and was faVorabIy re-

in the department has issued conces-
sions for several other proposed bank

In conclusion the president assured
congress that there was every reason
for congratulation on the state of the
country, which steadily grows richer
while the government revenue is con-
tinually increasing.
There is one more thing to be regret
ted and that is the single clause, en-
tirely outside OF the power of the coun-
try to control. which threatens to dis
