A dispatch from the City of Mexico saws:
Two large and influential companies of the
liberal party are at work organizing clubs
to aid the denomination of President Diaz
by a great convention of delegates, which
VIII early in the coming year assemble in
this city.
President Diaz clubs have been organized
IN the interior cities. and a large and en-
thusiastic club has been organized in Yu-
catan, which parades the streets in Amer
lean style. The state of Oaxaca. which
counts President Diaz among its most H.
lustrious sons, is unit for his reelection
and strong Diaz movement exists in the
powerful and wealthy state of Jalisco. Sew
eral conservative party journals admit that
the country requires the continuance of
President Diaz in power and give tacit
consent to his reelection, there being in
fact good fee.-ng in the country, at
tributed to the general prosperity and the
desire to avoid a change.
The cordial reception of Minister Mariscal
in the United States has produced a most
favorable impression here as also has Sec
rotary Hays cooperation with Ambassa-
dor Aspiroz in the matter of a settlement

CUBAN VETERANS ORGANIZING.
MANY Are Suspicious of the Motives
of This Government.
A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says;
A committee of veterans went from Ha-
vana today to attend a meeting OF the local
center of veterans. They report that they
are much satisfied with the enthusiasm
aroused by the movement wherever meet
ings promoted by veterans have been held.
Senior Secades says that the veterans held
aloft the motto, Independence or Death, y
and have absolute faith in the promises of
the Americans. Nevertheless. he declares,
if the sacred rights of the Cubans should
be laughed at and their hopes of justice
violated, then the voice of their wounded
dignity and blemished honor would speak
out in protest against all tyranny, even
though that protest should mean suicide.
Better die an honorable DEATH ex-
claimed Senior Secades, than live as slaves.
carrying upon our foreheadS the brand OF
eternal tglcminy.
Senior Merlo. in addressing the meeting
said: president Mckinley has spoken to
the Cubans in hieroglyphics, and there is
good reason to believe that he will show
bad faith toward US. If the dark day should
come when Cubans realize that all hope is
gone. it will be necessary then to make a
solemn compact for war.
Senior Hernandez said that the veterans
were prepared to die If it should be found
Impossible to realize their wishes for the
independence of the island.
The national party and Cuban League
have organized a joint branch society at
Vedado. The opening meeting was attended
by many men on horseback and by ladies
carrying Cuban flags. The principal speaker
was Senior Cristobal de la Guarca, who
sad:
1T is the duty of all Cubans to join this
organization Certainly the Spaniards, af-
ter fighting the United States in order to
preserve their honor, and after sacrificing
Admiral Cervera's squadron, will not vote
against independence when the question
comes to a decision by ballot. If they did
vote against it they would give the lie to
all their honorable historical traditions
Senior Fernando Suarez made an energetic
protest against the action of the secretary
of government, Senior Domingo Capote.
with regard to the dismissal of Gen. Ruis
Rivera from the civil government of Ha-
vana.
Rivera the speaker declared, was vastly
better soldier than Capote, and had rem
dered much more service to Cuba. Senior
Gonzales said that those who compared
American civilization with Cuba ought not
to take as a standard Of American civiliza-
ton the rich man who rode in Pullman
car, but should compare the lower classes
of both nations, in which event they would
find the Cubans UNNECESSARILY superior

Stuck to His Post with One Hand
Shot AWAY

A dispatch from Altoona, Pa. says: How
ard Bowman, little more than a boy in
years is the hero of the hour With one
hand terribly mangled. and weak from loss
OF blood, he stuck to his post in the Penn
sylvanfa railroad signal tower at Garway
his uninjured hand at the key of his tele-
graph instrument. When assistance came
six hours later, the plucky young operator
collapsed.
The superintendent of the Cambria and
Clearfield division received a message from
Bowman about o'clock Saturday morn
ing, just after the morning train nm the
mountain had departed, asking that a sub
stitute be sent up at once, as he had acct
dentally shot off one of his hands Bow
man was informed that the train had gone
and that no help was available unless an
engine We're sent up with an operator
aboard.

Spouse. Several freights coming Down I'll

AT 3 o'clock, when a substitute operator
reached Garway, Bowman was PROSTATE
on his desk, his bloodless face telling of the
pain he had suffered At sight of the re-
lief man he sank back in his chair in a
faint.
During the six hours that he nursed the
SUP OF his hand he answered every call on
the line and kept a careful record Of every
thing that transpired.
For several days squirrel had been dis
porting himself on the boughs Of a birch
tree within stones throw of Bowman's
window. Bowman finally borrowed an old
shotgun. intending to take a shot at the
squirrel. Not being familiar with guns. he
rammed home a double charge of powder

CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY PERIOD
Discussion of Subject Before the

PAPER BY DIR. S. c. BUSEY

The various events in the year 1900 con
nected with the removal of the seat of gov
eminent of the United States to the Dis
trict of Columbia were discussed in an IN
teresting fashion at a meeting of the Co
lumbia Historical Society, which was held
last evening in the banquet hall of the
Shoreham. AS it is proposed to commence
rate during the coming year the centen-
NAL anniversary of this period in the his
tory of the District, the facts brought out
both in the paper read and in the discus
sion which followed had to the large au-
dience more than a mere historic interest.
since the summer vacation, and there was
present not only large number of mem
bers, but also representatives of the citi-
Zens committee on the proposed celebra-
ton and of the public generally. Mr.. John
A. Kasson presided, and before announc-
ing the program of the evening stated that
the photography of the District, a work
which it is believed will prove to be of
great interest and value, had been COM
pieted under the auspices of the society and
would shortly be published. He also stated
that the third volume of the proceedings
and records of the society would soon be
issued.
He then announced the paper of the even
ing to be by DR.. Samuel c. Busey, on The
Centennial of the Permanent Seat of the
Government of the United States" DR. Bu-
sey was present, but at his request the
paper was read by the secretary of the
society, Mrs Mary Stevens Beall. II proved
TO be valuable and Interesting narration

History of Occupation.


Mr.. Hugh T. Taggart made an important
or some remarks, in which he traced the
occupation of the District as the seat of
government by the various branches of the
government. He pointed OUT that nv an,
lhor1ty of law in April 1900 the President
was directed to remove the executives de-
partments of the government to the new
location ana that by the l4th of June 1850
the executive departments were located IN
this city and transacting business Com
gress by law passed May 49, 1900 direct
ed that the second session of the Sixth Con
sress siould convene in the city of Wash
lnSton the third Monday in September 1890
The House. he stated, met the 18th of No
Nember which was the third Monday but
did not have quorum until the next day
While a quorum Of the Senate was not pres
ent until the 21st of November. The next
day they received the message Of Presi-
dent Adams, and the speaker pointed out
that the President in his message as we'll
as both houses in their replies, referred to
the assembling of Congress at the seat of
government.
The Actual Date.
He said he had no doubt that November
21, 1890, might properly be considered as
the date when the District became the seat
of government He referred to the fact
that the United States Supreme Court met
in Philadelphia in August, 1900, and in the
entry of that meeting on the minutes of the
court It was recorded that the court had
assembled at the seat of government. The
opinion of such an authoritative body Mr.
Taggart dryly remarked, was the only con-
sderation that caused him to hesitate in
pronouncing in favor of the November
date.
Remarks by Mr.. Wight.
The president invited Commissioner
Wight, who is ex-ofticio the chairman of
the committee Of citizens ON the proposed

Initial Form of Government.

Continuing, the author stated that the
initial form of government in this District
was Il commission of three appointed by
the President, and that IT was to all In
tents and purposes government by the
President. This form of government, he
added, continued until May l. 1901, when it
was abolished and the office of superin-
tendent created. Congress did not
make the city of Washington a body polite
until May 3, 1862. when an act was passed
to incorporate the inhabitants of the city
of Washington" DIR. BuSey added that
this date is perhaps logically and legally
the inaugural date and year of the city
Of Washington, certainly a BODY cor
porate.
The paper quoted the act of July 16, $780,
which provides, among other things. that
the first Monday in December 1900, the
seat OF government of the United States
shall, by virtue of the act, be transferred
10 the District, and that all offices at
tached 10 the seat of government shall be
removed thereto, and after the said date
shall cease to be exercised elsewhere The
President, by the act of April "a, 1900, DR.
Busey stated, was authorized to anticipate
the removal of the various Offices belonging
TO the several executive departments to
the city of Washington, and by the act OF
May b. 1900. Congress directed as was
stated in the paper, that IAN adjourned
session should be held at the CITY of WASH
ington, to commence on the third Monday
of November next ensuing" In neither Of
these acts Is the city of Washington desig-
mated or referred TO as the capital CITY. nor
IS section OF the act of July 10, 1890, re-
pealed or altered, except so far as may be
implied by the authority granted to the
President to anticipate at his pleasure the
removal of the various offices before the
time heretofore appointed by law for such
removal" The Supreme Court of the
United States adjourned its last session
at Philadelphia to reassemble at Washing
ton February 4, 1901
In conclusion. DR.. Busey referred to the
public building outside of the original limits
of the city Of Washington, and the appro-
priation by Congress of money for i'm
provements and the purchase of property
beyond the same limits, and said these
facts are significant of the intention of
Congress TO maintain a permanent seat Of
the government as defined by the Constitu-
ton and the initial act of Congress of July
10. 1900. He said also: THE transfer Of
the government was not complete until the
departments were in actual and entire co.
operation at the permanent seat which
could not be accomplished before the as
sembling of Congress on the first Monday
In December, $500, the date fixed by the
| initial act Of July 10. 1890, at which date
all the offices attached to the seat of gov
eminent should cease to be exercised else

The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
