Executive Leave of Absence.

Executive Leave of Absence.
City Of Mexico. Sept. 21.-Doubt still
exists whether President Diaz will
make the trip to Chicago. Congress
yesterday voted its permission for the
president to leave the country, but the
condition of Sonora Diaz's health may
prevent the departure of the president.
Ambassador Clayton said yesterday
that President Diaz's decision may not
be expected before week or so. He
added that Diaz himself greatly desires
to visit Chicago. He is especially
anxious to meet President Mckinley
and show his friendship for the United
States. Besides, the action of congress
removes all legal obstacles, but, the
ambassador continued, as the doctors
are doubtful as to Mrs. Diaz the presi
dent has not actually made up his
mind The final answer, Mr.. Clayton
lean ambassador in Washington.
1t is certain that the action of con-
gress afforded the Mexican president
great satisfaction. There was full at
tendance, it being the first time that a
president of the republic had asked
permission to leave the country The
question came up in the form of a spe-
cial bill, granting leave of absence for
twenty days, and appointing as presi-
dent ad interim Ignacio Mariscal for
tner minister to Washington. The ques-
ton was taken by a rising vote, the
senators and representatives answering
as their names We're called. The silence
during the voting was solemn, and the
result showed not vote in the mega
tive.
Unless his wifes illness assumes a
serious phase Chicagoans may expect

SINKING OF THE MORGAN.
Details of the Wreck of the Troop
shfp-Appalling Disaster Narrowly

laVeTteO.
Yokohama, Sept. s.--Via Victoria, b.
c., Sept. Collaborating details are at
hand of the wreck of the American
transport Morgan City in the inland
sea of Japan. II appears that1it came
very near being an appalling catastro-
ple. Striking upon reef at 3 O'Clock
in the morning the ship remained fast
until daylight. when, by adopting the
expedient of rushing the men alter
nately from one side to the other the
ship was rolled from the rocks into
deep water. where she at once began
to fill rapidly She was headed for the
shore of the island of Inoshima. several
miles distant, sinking perceptibly with
every yard of progress. She reached
the beach barely a minute before going
under. The day was spent in removing
stores Late in the afternoon, without
warning, the transport slid off the
steep bank and sunk in about six
fathoms.
The island of Inoshima is about a
dozen miles from Hiroshima. chief city
of the inland sea. Almost Instantly aid
came from the japanese authorities,
the cruiser Yososhomo being at once
dispatched and The Red Cross Society
sending a relief expedition. The troops
are loud in their appreciation of Japan
csc kindness.
The damage by the recent typhoon
which swept the whole southern por-
ton of Japan is even greater than at
first reported. The appalling subsistence
of the Besshi mine in the island of
Shikoka entailed the loss of 600 lives.
From some parts of the south reports
still come in of hundreds of thousands
of houses destroyed, while every pre-
lecture counts by hundreds its dead.

Demand by Collectors.

There are moro old fashioned clocks
around than ln.ople would think" says.
an Ansilst;; man who makes i, Speciality
of repairing tlietn. Most of those with
the wooden works are OF American make,
think. 1t mist hive been expensive to
import the checks with brass movements
in those early days and the ingenious
Yankees set To work to make their own
clocks from Mood. Most OF them are
made floia thu apple tree and with only
brass scapc wheel and iron wires. They
are not SO different from the clocks made
nowadays. and they can he repaired and
will really Keep excellent time.
The principal thing TO do in repairing
them is to put new teeth in the wooden
wheels where they have been worn or
been broken off These are doyetailed in
and then fled into shape, and the clock is
us good as new. Then, again, the holes
in the wooden backs are worn, and brass
bhshings are put in.
Alost of the old clocks are eight day
clocks, and they are frequently less trou-
bile to pnt in order than the modern
clocks. 1t is the pendulum which regu-
iates the movement OF the clock, and
those long. heavy pendulums are less af-
fected by jars than shorter ones. Being
large, particularly those with the grand
father movement, rs we call that Of the
large clocks, they are more apt to be sta
tionary.
Most OF the clocks brought to me are
from 30 to loo years old, though, unfor-
tunatcly, they are not dated ! saw one
the other day that was known to be 800
years old. but that was an imported clock.
Last year repaired about 40 old clocks.
There is always a demand in the mar
kct for the old clocks, and know most
of those that are to be found are genuine.
One would be more apt to find the works
genuine than the case. They may be in
good condition when the case has been
battered and broken to pieces. 1t would
hardly pay TO make new clocks to sell as
/ old ones. There is not large number
of them sold. and man may hold clocks
for year or so and then sell several.
When you come to think of it, it Is not so
strange that there are so many genuine
old clocks to he found. If in the early
days each family had one, that would
make good stock for the people who
care for them.
dealers travel all over the country

old fashioned furniture. They visit the
old junk stores, pick up things for n song.

yea, who underwent the difficult opera
ton of having fragments of broken
yertebrae removed from his spinal cord
at Roosevelt hospital, is reported as
doing Well. He slept comfortably all
night and far into the morning. The
fact that the patient showed such re
markable strength and vitality after
such a trying ordeal was encouraging
10 the surgeons who have charge of the
case, and they now have hopes that he
will derive great benefit from the oper-
alton
The surgeons say. however. that ow-
ing TO the great damage done to the
spinal cord by the pieces of broken
bone ii is impossible at the present
time TO predict just what will be the
result of the operation.
The operation has been performed
several times in this city. but is still
rare enough to interest surgeons.

Pockettess Clothing for Employes anu
 Trousers Must Not Be Turned Up'
 The danger buildings of powder mill are themselves so constructed that not a nail head or iron in any shape is exposed, and the roofs are maue slight, so as to give easy vent to eA- plosions. The garments of the work CTS are pocketless, so that they eanno' carry knives or matches, or, lhdeeu' anything. and are made of non-intiam- mable material. Even the buttons must not be made of metal. No one is allowed to go about with trousers turned LID at the bottom, because grit is collected in that wa, and the mer- est hard speck of foreign matter Ill charge of gunpoWder is fraught WIth danger. The entrances to danger buildings are protected by boards placed edgewise, So that when the door is open nothing in the shape of dirt can work in. This also serves as cheek to any one who might thought lessIy enter without having first re- moved his boots and put on the over alls that are kept just inside the door. Doors are made to opoa outward, so as to enable them to escape the more readily. and on the approach of thun- derstorm the works are stopped and the operatives repair to the different watchhouses scattered over the 300 acres covered by these extensive works. Every week the machinery is inspected and the reports as to it's condition are printed and filed. In the case of q dan ger building needing to be repaired it must first be washed out before a hammer or other iron tool is admitted to it. When artificial light Is required as when working at night or in dull weather, the lights are kept outside, being placed on the window lodges. In the case of the works magazine. which is surrounded with water, no light of any kind is ever permitted near II. These are only q few of the precau- tions against accidents at the works. They are sufficient. however. to show how lively must be the sense of dan ger. Men in powder houses usually have an arranged plan of escape in their minds and at the least mex peeted noise have not hesitated to plunge into the canal.

Relied on His Wits.

In 8 recent address on Brown-Se- guard, the French chemist Berthelot explained why that eminent physiolo- gist. in spite of his brilliant mind, was looked on with suspicion by scientific workers. He was careless in his ex- periments and relied too much on his wits. Whenever an idea came into his head, he wrote it on a piece of paper, which he threw into a box. and gem orally left it there, making no further use of it.

A DIVING BELL CRUSHED.
The Tremendous Pressure of Water at
 Great Depth.

a Great Depth.
 4 crushed mass of iron in Pitts burg scrap yard demonstrates the tre- mendcus pressure of water at a great depth. says the Pittsburg Chronicle. It was constructed for a diving bell for use in Lake Michigan AS originally constructed il was about sfx=f fec square, and tapered slightly at both ends The material was phosphor bronze, more than half an inch thick Each plate was cast with a fange and they were bolted together, the bolts being placed as closely as was consist ent with strength The side plates were further strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick and two inches wide In fact, the entire structure was strong ly braced. The windows to be used as outlooks by the divers were three inches square, fortified with iron bars and set with glass plates an inch thick. The weight of the bell was g .000 pounds. When completed it was sent 10 Milwaukee and towed out into tle lake about twelve miles, where there was over 200 feet of water, and was sent down for a test. The manu- factarer was SO confident of the strength of the bell that he wanted to go down in it. He is glad now that he didn't. When the bell reached the depth of about loo feet strong timbers attached to it came to the surface in a splintered condition. Suspeeting ar accident, the bell was hauled up and found to be crushed into a shapeless mass. The ineh-thick plate glass bull's-eyes were shattered. The pres sure that crushed this seemingly in vulnerable structure amounted to a to- tai of 1,723,548 pounds, or 1862 tons
