the plot was formed in New York city
by H. G. Blake and Joseph M. Hardy,
the boys uncles, and Albert S. War

of $4,000. The boy was kept for four
days in shanty on the outskirts OF

General Porflrio Diaz, the president
of Mexico, who will probably visit Chi
cago for the Chicago day celebration on
Oct. 9, will be one of the most distin-

years. The invitation to his excel

to meet President Mckinley and his
cabinet, as we'll as to see Chicago on
the anniversary of her big fire. has
been already made by Col. William B.
Roberts of Chicago and Ambassador
Clayton. It will be necessary to make
q slight change In the constitutional
law Of the Mexican republic to bring

the Filipinos can live SO cheaply and

Immense Treasures That Are Practically

sources in London that ...ore was a

which might have become disastrous

tion of some of her majesty's house.
hold servants, says the Boston Tran
script. A searching inquiry was made
into the matter by the Hon. R. 3.
Brett, and as result the most val
liable chambers in the castle have been
shown to be in deplorable state as
regards protection against fire. There
are no modern extinguishers or en-
gines; nothing but couple of anti
quated hand-pumps and scores of
leather buckets. 1t Is fact not gen.
orally known that the immense treas
ures of the castle are practically un-
insured. The Hon. r. B. Brett is now
at work placing the castle in a state
of as strong defense against fire as the
circumstances will permit. The fire
brigade at the castle is being increased
to eighteen members from the depart
ments of the Office of works, from tho
lord ohamberlain's department and
from the royal news. The members Of
the brigade who are from the lord
chamberlain's department are selected
for their acquaintance with the struc-
ture Of the palace. The brigade is to
be furnished with new and service
able uniform, and will be periodically
and constantly drilled by a drill in
spector from the metropolitan fire
brigade of London specially detailed
for the purpose. AS almost all the
members of the brigade live outside
the walls Of the castle. electric fire
alarms will be fitted to their lodgings
connecting them with the fire station
at Windsor castle. The upper engine
house. near the grand quadrangle, has
been converted into a fire station,
which will be fitted with every modern
appliance.
