Another City of Mexico dispatch
SAYS: President Diaz today expressed
deep regret that he must forego the
pleasure of the trip which he had
looked forward to with keen desire.
He had hoped to meet the leading men
of the neighboring republic and felt
that the occasion would be OF much
benefit to both countries. While the
illness OF Mime. Diaz has all along
placed degree of uncertainty about
the plans of the president for his
northern journey it was hoped until
Yesterday that her condition might i'm
prove sufficiently to allow President
Diaz to be absent So strong was this
expectation that yesterday the senate
again took up the matter of the pro-
posed visit and increased the amount
of the appropriation for the expenses
of the president and his party to $780,
600. The former appropriation was
$500 900. 1t was shortly after this ac-
ton that the announcement OF the
change in President Diaz's plans was
announced.
The dispatches have caused great dis
appointment to the committee appoint
ed to welcome President Diaz. and to
the citizens generally. The most elab-
crate preparations had been made to
make the Mexican presidents recep-
ton a most notable one, arrangements
having been perfected to have him met

which his train passed by the governor
of that state, who would then act as
one of President DiaZ's escorts to Chi

Diaz himself will put damper on the

snRYOCK SUCCEEDS WELLINGTON

AS Chairman of Maryland's Republic
can State Central Committee.
Baltimore, Sept. 26.-United States
Senator George l.. Wellington yester-
day resigned the craftsmanship of the
Republican state central committee in
accordance with the recent written re-
quest of Governor Lloyd Lowndes,
who is a candidate for reelection on
the Republican ticket. General Thomas
J. Shryock was elected to succeed him.
General Shryock is state treasurer and
grand master Mason of Maryland.
In endorsing his resignation Sena-
tor Wellington delivered speech in
which ne accused the governor of
double dealing and treachery, and al
legged that, in conjunction with Sena-
tor McComas, Congressman Sydney E.
Mudd and others the chief executive
had gone into combination to de-
stroy the speakers future political
prospects.
Senator Wellington's action is the
result of controversy between him
and Governor Lowndes over the &C
ton of the state central committee
few days ago in appointing committees
on finance and the conduct of the cam
paign. This was deemed an affront
by Senator Wellington, and in an in
terview the next day he attacked
Governor Lowndes with great bitter
ness and predicted the defeat OF the
Republican ticket at the coming cleo
ton. The request for his resignation

Norfolk, Sept 22.-Four lives were
lost in the great fire which destroyed
St. Vincent de PauPs hospital early
yesterday morning. The remains were
taken from the debris and removed to
the city morgue yesterday for identi-
fication, proving to be as follows:
Mrs. Margaret McEween, 70 years of
age. lady of weak mind, who was
there for safe keeping. The only way
she could be identified was by her ear
rings, the body being so badly burned.
Mrs. Elizabeth. an old lady, who had
been at the hospital for a long time
as a boarder. She was on the fourth
floor and the body had fallen through
to the third She was identified by
the structure of her body.
Cherry Boswell, a -3year-old child,
from Lewiston, N. c.. who had club
foot, and was there for treatment.
Miss Pippen, of Tarboro, N. c., who
had just entered the hospital and was

proposal identical with that which the
imperial government is said to have
substituted, and the communication
then proceeds as follows:
The imperial government sees no
ground for misrepresentation on the
part of the South African republic as
to it's answer regarding non-interfer-
ence and suzerainty, as the imperial
government had already stated that it
would not press for the appointment
of high joint commission of inquiry"
LAS to the use of the English Ian
guage in the volksraad, the imperial
government regards this as reasonable,
and is astonished that the government
of the South African republic should
deem it unnecessary and make point
of denying that the government of the
South African republic ever proposed
the same to the British agent"
A special dispatch from Pretoria
says that the members Of the volks-
raad, believing that the British notes
are intended to gain time for the con-
centration of troops, urge the govern
ment to adjourn the raad Immediately
and to send Great Britain note de-
claring that further mobilization will
be regarded as an unfriendly act.
Trenches, earthworks and sand bag
defenses are being erected in all the
available approaches to the capital.
1t IS reported from Pretoria that
Commandant General Joubert reckons
on $4,000 Transvaal troops, $4,000
from the Orange Free State, 5000 from
Cape Colony, 1000 from Natal and
5000 Hollander, German and other vol
unteers.
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, pro-Boer
organ, says: Both President Steyn
and Mr. Fischer. OF the Orange Free
State executive, inform me that the
yolksraad is absolutely unanimous
that the two republics should stand or
fall together. President Steyn said:
Suppose we remained neutral, and
the Transvaal were conquered 1t is
not likely that we would be long per-
mitted to stand outside British control.

pany, shot and killed Frank Leiden,
stage manager and leading man of the
company, last night on the stage OF
the City Opera House just after the
curtain rose for the performance to
begin. Three shots were fired at close
range, all taking effect in Leiden's
head. He sank to the floor and was
dead in few minutes. The woman
was arrested and taken to the city jail
A coroners inquest was held, at
which it developed that trouble had
existed between Leiden and Miss Nor
rison, and yesterday she slapped him.
1t appears that they quarreled over
the woman's alleged bad acting, Leiden
accusing her of being but an amateur
The woman claims that Leiden repeat
eddy insulted her, and that she shot
him in self defense. The verdict OF
the coroners jury was to the effect
that the murder was premeditated and
wholly unjustifable.
The woman claims to be from New
Orleans, and a man with the COM

instigator of the crime. The COM

In view of the absence of trustworthy
evidence the finding of the tribunal is
the subject of general condemnation.
