PRESIDENT D1AZ.
Will Pass Through This City On His
Way to Chicago.

1t has been an open question for
sometime whether President Disz
would be able to attend the Chicago
celebration owing to the continued i'll
ness of Mrs- Diaz, while she is much
improved in health her condition is
still quite serious.
Consul Mallen is in receipt of q
Telegram from President Diaz today,
in which he says that if it is really pos
sible and his wife's health permits he
will go to Chicago, having received
permission from the Mexican congress,
and will pass through Ell Paso in m ak
ing the trip.
It was thought at one time that
President Diaz would go via Eagle
Pass to San Antonio. but the telegram
received today sets at rest all doubt in
the matter.

Between The Beers And
England Remains Un-
abated.
MAKING PREPAR ARATIONS
For Conflict Which is Be-
Iieved to be Inevitable
Before Thirty
Days.

CAPETOWN, Sept. 25.-Both sides of
the Transvaal situation are at present
playing for time, but the war tension
remains unabated. Preparations for
the conflict, which is believed to be in
evitable before thirty days, are being
rushed, and there is increasing activity
elonP the frontiers of the Trsnsvaal
and Orange Free state.
The South Africa tribes are
constantly becoming more threatening
in their attitude. If the Orange Free
state goes to aid the Beers, the Basu-
tos will be sure to attack it, and it is
believed in that case in Cape Colony
the Dutch would without hesitation
rise to help their kinsmen.
War between Transvael and England,
1t is claimed, would certainly place in
jeopardy the life of every man in
South Africa whether he took part or
not.

BUNCoED CONGRESS.
The Latest Trick of T.. Il. Barnum's 5
Entcrprising Successors.

Announcement is just made from Eng
land OF the transformation of the Great
est Show on Earth the enterprise which
was the creation Of p T. Barnums genius.
into a blooming English syndicate with
100000 f1-shares distributed among
the English pOpulace, and having the sig
nifcant word limited attached to the end
of its title.
In the benevolent assimilation of this
heretofore distinctively American enter
prise, and the transfer OF its headquarters
from Bridgeport, Conn, TO Stoke on Trent,
there seems to have been worked on the
American Congress one of the noted show
mans old maxims of ''fOoling some of the
people all the time. At all events one
of the last acts of the recently expired
American Congress was to enact a bill
admitting free of duty animals taken
abroad for exhibition purposes, which act
1t WAS understood was for the sole benefit
of this particular circus which was sup
posed at that time to be an American en-
terprise
The position of the United States in this
mix-up will be that OF remitting the duty
on the mcnagerie OF a purely English cir
Gus when it sees fit TO make a tour of this
country.
When this show went abroad it is TN
derstood no such change in nationality
was anticipated, but the venture has proved
losing one in foreign lands. and it was
found that the only way to secure enough
English money to keep the organization
from bankruptcy was TO renCorporatc and
sell stock at E1 a share While
this scheme was being carried out in
Great Britain the above mentioned bill was
put through Congress in this country ."
that no advantages would be lost in any
way by the change. The amount that Will
be saved in tariff when the show comes
back to the United States is estimated to
be fully $4,000.
The announcement. coming from the
celebrated press agent of the Barnum e
Bailey Circus. TOdy Hamilton, who mas
for many years inspired the soul of the
American youth with his vivid advertise
ments, seems to have already lost its tri-
! umphant ring In announcing the future
programme of the show, which he terms
the latest gift of America TO England.
adding another link to the friendly chain
binding the two Anglo Saxon races to-
gether,' it is stated that provincial tours
in Albion are set down for this year and
next. when a continental tour, occupying
at least two years, will be begun. This
will leave America out of the programme
for several years. so that when it does
come Il will have a thoroughly British
flavor.

THE DowNTaoDDEN MINER.
Pennsylvania Labor Conditions Re-
viewed by james Campbell.

The Industrial Commission had before it
yesterday James Campbell, Factory In
spector of Pennsylvania, who reviewed in
a general way the labor s;tuation in that
State Mr.. Campbell strong urged the
necessity for stronger immigration laws.
He believed that United States Cons uls in
foreign countries should pass upon the
immigrants en- route to this country.
He was a strong believer in labor or
ganizations. and said the glass workers
of his State had bettered their coHdi5 Ion
materially in that way. Since taey had o.
eanized they had never lost a strike and
their wages were higher today than ever
before. This condition seemed to be sat
isfactory TO the employers, as IL mad the
rate uniform throughout the State
The miners, he declared, were the most
abused class of laborers in the word. The
company stores in mining districts were
one of the greatest evils that had TO be
contended with Higher phi es were charg
ed in these stores, and book accounts were
kept making it impossible for the ignor-
ant to know what they were bzing charged
He advocated organization as a remedy
for this evil. saying legislation was not
what was needed.
There are. according to Mr. Campbell
about 90. 900 people employed in sweatshops
in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. The product
of these places could be found in almost
every store in the country, and Mr.. Camp
bell believed that as long as immigration
continued it would be impossible to stamp
out the evil. Army clothing had been made
in these places, where diphtheria and
other contagious diseases were prevalent,
and in many cases where the clothing was
| covered with vermin. Complaint was made
to the War Office and according to Mr..
| Campbell a quantity of this clothing was
| refused by the department
