Mckinley Wants To
Change Presidents.
And Diaz Is Lured Here To
Help Arrange Matters.

Mexico City. Mexico. September "a
fumor that Was current about the city
to the effect that an American vessel,
that was loaded with munitions Of war
for the revolving Yaqul Jndinas had been
sighted of the Pacific coast has been re-
futed by information received here from
1uayamas. According to advIces which
are authentic, an American schooner, tae
Czar, which left San francisco during
the latter part of July was for reason aus
psoted of being q filibusteriag vessel
and was thought to be about to land sup
plies for the Yaquis at Port Atlanta. The
Mexican Runboat Democratic was imme-
diately despatched to search for the Czar
which en- tered the port of La Paz in low
er California, and unioaded her cargo,
which was consigned to La Paz. She was
overhauled at that port and sorupulously
searched but nothing suspicious was dis
covered. The search was made under
the superv ision of the m Hilary comman-
der of the territory.
The clerical press Is greatly excited
over the probable visit of President Diaz
to Chicago this autumn, and the papers
have many caricatures bearing upon the
Presidential journey to the land Of the
Yankees, mostly conceived in great good
humor. ana depicting the audacity of the
Chicago committee who were received
here as ssmi-voyal personages, according
to the humorous papers. But El Tempo,
the organ of the clerical parties, outdoes
every other journal for 1t has made the
alarm & iscoyery that the Americans
are plotting. to remove President Diaz and
now this journal accuses President Me-
kinley Of a desire to regulate the success
sion to the presidency bere.
III TEMPO says: Mckinley is an Inn
promptu arbiter of the destinies Of the
entire American continent. who has far
outstripped the ambitious Blaine and
does not want our president to continue
in guiding the political dsstinies of NJ ex-
leo as he wants to find for him substi-
tuts after his own heart. To attain that
Object, the White House has made ar
rangements for the journey of the chief
executive of our nation to the United
States. The whole pretext Is most trivial.
viz: The laying Of the corner of some
building or other in Chicago. Previously
attempts were made to take advantage
for the same purpose Of the carnival t
New Orleans, the exposition at Atlanta
or some other trifling festival. The other
invitations did not produce the desired
result but the Yankees have been SO per-
sistent that at last it seems they will ao-
oomplish their object by getting our
president to go to Chicago for a ceremony
the most inane But that is of no conse-
quence. What is desired is that General
Diaz may have an opportunity to talk
with our guardian Mckinley, SO as to ar
range the question Of the changing of
presidents in Mexico.
The article has excited derision in the
liberal journals.

to learn that this was a mistake and that
a mighty host has arisen wkich will keep
alive the feeling Of liberty In old New
England. There was period In New
England history, he said, when the mills
and factories were running day and
night and market was found for every
thing that was made. Then the people
were all employed at living wages and
were prosperous. The West was able TO
buy everything the East made aud In
return the East bought all that the West
produced and the American home CON-
sumption was equal TO the home produc-
tion. The volume Of money In the world
at that time. said he. was twice th Q
amount In existence today, because
silver was issued at It's proper ratio and
had Its propsr place in the monetary
plane.
He said that not q single respectable
argument can be found for the gold

is bad and unjust. It IL great wrong

right it. At the close Of the governors
address, IL was quite daik -nnd there

Something very peculiar about Pot

"Noticed it, have you? It's simple
enough. He's using words of one sylla-
BILE only"
"By Jove, that's it What's the rea.
son?"
" It's sad story. You see, when the
Turko- Grecian war broke out Potwin
did his best to learn the names of all
the leaders and the places mentioned
and to get the correct pronunciation of
each. He lost II pounds while the war
lasted and was in poor condition to
tackle the names of the Austria Hungary
Legislators during that absurd scrap in
the reichsrath, but he went at EN-
manfully and did his best to conquer
their absurdities. Just as he was recov-
ering from this struggle the war broke
out, and he plunged headlong into the
muddled sea of Cuban and Philippine
proper names. Besides these, he COPIED
with a lot of Spanish celebrities and
seaports on the side, and when he final
ly conquered all of them he was little
better than a mental wreck. But they
didn't give him the finishing touch"
"What did?''

just out after his run of brain fever and
now you can't hire him to mention
foreign word or any other word of more
than one syllable. Poor Potwin !''-
