PRESIDENT DIAz.
President Mckinley Expected to Meet him
and invite Him to Come to " ashington
as the Nations Gusst

WARRINGTON, Sept. 90. In connection
with President Diaz's visit to Chicago,
1t is expected that President Mckinley
will meet the Mexican president at
Chicago and invite him to come to
Washington as his guest and the guest
of the nation.
Diaz's route northward is expected
to be through San Antonio and St.
Louis. At the latter point he may
make stop, as the Latin-American
club of that city have telcgraphed to
the Mexican embassy here an urgent
request that the president honor ST.
Louis with visit.
In recognition Of the presence of a
foreign ruler within the country, it is
probable that a representative of Presi.
dent Mckinley will meet the Mexican
president at the United States border
and accompany him throughout his
stay in this country.
, An army officer of high rank is likely
to be selected for this service. No less
than IA invitations from that many
cities have been extended to President
Diaz to be their guest during his stay
in the United States. But the under
standing among officials is that he will
not be able to accept many of these.

maintained but it was stated that a
resolution was adopted endorsing the
Cleveland street car strike, and pledg.
ing the members not to patronize the
lines during the continuance of the
strike. 1t is said that a matter that

PRICE OF NEWS PAPER.
An Advance of q Quarter OF . Cent Pound
Book Paper Also Goes Up Quar-
ter of a Cent q Pound.

New YORK, Sept. 21.- News paper
has gone up a quarter of cent a
pound within the last three weeks.
The newspapers of New York city,
according to an official of the company
which supplies all but two of the
papers printed in this city, use 400 tons
of paper daily, at cost of two cents
pound. The recent sharp ad-
vance means $4,000 day more
to the newspaper or $7S0,000 a
year over the price which has
heretofore obtained. The cost of the
consumption is now SIS, 900 day. The
tendency is to raise the price still
higher. The advance is due partly to
the drouth of last summer which SER
iously impaired the water power of
the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone up quar-
ter of a cent pound, and letter paper
from three quarters of cent to one
cent pound.
