Another story Of the day was that
VIM. j. Bryan had been secured as
counsel for the prosecution Of Sheriff
Martin and the deputies. 1t was
secuted by the strike leaders as too
absurd to merit consideration.
The arrangements for the prosecu-
ton by the Austrian societies who have
taken UP the cause, have been brought
to a pause by Gen. Gobin's order for
bidding the arrests Of the prospective
defendants.
The strike conditions were not ma

PRESIDENT DIAz
Narrowly Escapes Death from Poin-
lard in Assassin's Hands.
Assaiiant Seized and Disarmed- Presfdent I'm.
hurt and People Rejoice.

(From the Chicago Evening Post)
City of Mexico, Sept. 16.-An attack
was made shortly after 10 A. M. today,
on President Diaz as he was proceeding
from the palace to the Alameda IL dis
tribute medals to the survivors OF the
war. The city is in a fever of excite
ment and the stories generally are con-
flicting. The most reliable version Of
the affair is that as the President was
entering on foot the Alameda or Cen
trail park Of the city, middle-aged
man armed with long poinlard
jumped forward from the crowd and
made an attempt to stab the President.
He was at once seized by the presi-
handcuffed. Then, by side streets to
avoid publicity, he was taken under
strong guard to the fourth ward palice
station.
The President was walking as is
his custom on Independence day and
between Minister of Communications
Mena, and Gen. BerriOZabal, minister
of war. Gen. Mena grappled with the
would be- assassin, who was at once
disarmed and handed over to the po-
lice The excitement among the for
eign colonies is intense.
AS this dispatch is being sent $4,000
troops are marching, but the President
is surrounded by his cabinet and I'M
moved by the attempt, and the people
are hurrahing for Mexico and Gen.
DiaZ. The President escaped entirely
uninjured.
Today is the national holiday of the
country, being the anniversary of the
declaration of independence, and the
streets are thronged with people. The
attack on the President was made just
before the great military parade
sarted.
The assailant is middle-aged man
with long. dark hair and prominent
nose. He looks something like an
Italian. The attack may be the result
of the recent propaganda here against
all forms of Anarchists. Another YER
sion is that the man was simply pre-
senting petition. This is not believed.
The ceremonies of the morning were
not interfered with :nd the parade
started on time and was reviewed by
the President as planned. at the ma
tional palace. The prisoner gave the
name of Arroyo.

Exr0aTl0NATe CLAIMS
Made by England In Sealing Dispute Shown
Up BY M. Lansing.

Halifax. N. S.. Sept. 15.-Mr. Lansing
continuing his argument in regard to the
name of vessels. criticized the cxtortion-
ate claim by Great Britain for the seized
ships. The price asked varied from sl01
per ton to 1900 per ton. The last charge
was submitted In the case of the Thorn
ton.
The speaker carefully reviewed the evil
dence on this point and showed that the
price was excessive This was shown by
the results of sales of vessels at Victoria.
where the average prices per ton were
$3.50 for vessels up to three years old.
$500 for vessels from four to 10 years
old. $55.47 for vessels II to Is years old,
and $39 70 for vessels l6 years and up
ward. This clearly indicated the ex-
cessive charges made by the British gov
eminent.
The case OF the w. =. Sayward was
then taken up on behalf of the United
States. Thomas II. Cooper. civil citi-
zen of the United States. was named b.
Mr.. Lansing as the owner of the vessel.
He also criticized some of the items OF
the claim.
The seizure of the Anna Beck was then
taken up and it was again contended that
Cooper was the owner at the time the
vessel was taken by the Rush. In refer
ence TO the claim on behalf of the Indians
the United States disclaimed all liabilities
in the matter.
The claims of the Grace and Dolphin
were considered. and as in the two pre-
vious cases, Cooper was named as the
owner The claim for skins in this case
was disputed by the United States brief
and figured quoted to show that large
reduction should be made in order to
reach a fair figure.
He also protested against other charges
in the claim. Warren the captain. made
a claim for personal damage for impris-
onment. This man had been paid by the
United States at the time for work done
and the amount so paid should be de-
Quoted from his bill. which was for $4,000
Mr.. Lansing then closed by an eloquent
address on the objects and likely results
o. the work of the commission.

way, sliding to home base while playing
the Orioles in Chicago. and was kept out
of the game for many weeks. The Balti-
more players had nothing whatever to do
with his injury on either occasion.
"Of course the Orioles will win the pen

better equipped all around, on the bases.
