ceives A Severe Injury

A fatal accident occurred yester-
day evening to Mr.. CleOphas Ian
dry while being driven to the polls
to vote in the primary. Mr.. Lam
dry who was employed at the
Gebert Single Mill, was being
driven from his work to the polls
in a carriage, attached to which
was team of horses belonging to
Mr.. John Broussard the liveryman
and which were driven by Henry
Dorsey. The team took fright on
Main street and becoming unman-
ageable their driver rel1nquished
his hold on the reins and jumped.
Mr.. Landry seeing this, jumped
also, with the result that his head
struck a cart wheel. The skull
was fractured in such manner as
to cause almost instantaneous
death. The driver had his leg
broken.
Mr.. Landry was an elderly mar
ried man, and leaves a wife and
nine children to mourn his loss.
He was also member of Teche
Encampment, Knights Of Temper

OPIE READ COMING.

<Opie Read will arrive in New
Orleans next Saturday night, and
will fill his first southern engage
ment at the NewcOmb College,
under the auspices Of the Alumnae
Association, on the following Tues
day evening. His entertainment
is styled IAN Evening of Story
Telling" and he has absolutely no
superior anywhere as a teller OF
tales. His stories are all new,
and run the gamut of wit, pathos
and sentiment, garnered from all
quarters of the states. Mr.. Read
is a southern born gentleman, and
has only lived in the north for a
few years.
In Chicago he has two homes,
one with his family and the other
in the Press Club parl0rs. Day
after day he is the center OF adj
miring crowds, who laugh and
grow fat over his scintilating wit.
One wonders when he does his
writing, for he is one of the most
prolific novelists of the day, as
we'll as one of the most popular.
His works have an annual sale Of
over $50, 900 copies.
The Danville Commercial, in
speaking of Mr.. Read, says: "He
was cast in majestic mold.0 His
moustache is black and his COM
plexion dark. Romance turks in
his countenance. There is a cast
to his face that suggests the pride
and power of an eagle.
The south should certainly be
good to Mr.. Read, for he has been
portraying the best characteristics
Of southern men and women for
years. States.

phians are working as hard as they can on subscriptions, but there is no evidence that since the republican officeholders of the town shelled out all their spare cash with which to buy wedding presents for Mayor Ashbridges daughter that money has been very plentiful in the Quaker City. A day or two ago the Allied Republican clubs of the city announced an intention to raise a fund of $1000O with which to enter tain distinguished delegates to the June convention, hut as the mayor advised that no other tax be put upon the public spirit of Philadelphia until the convention guar antee was completed this scheme of hospi- taity was abandoned. MT. Hanna, 1t is remarked, has not yet recanted his threat to hold the convention in some other city if Philadelphia fails to make good" in proper time. He has been offered the free use of the Madison Square Garden in New York, and when he was last in Gotham he is said to have peeped in on the garden, presumably with the view of determining its fitness as a convention hall. If the Philadelphians don't hurry up and raise the promised s1OO.OOO, it Is firmly believed here that MT. Hanna will order the con- yention to New York.

INAUGURATION OF
 MEXICAN CANAL
President Diaz Pulled the Lever
 and Opened the Gates.
THE WORK WAS WELL DONE
Party Was Taken to the Mouth of the Canal Where a Banquet Was Served and Speeches
 rsafs HaH Were Made

City of Mexico, March n.-The grand canal, part of the Valley of Mexico drain age system, was inaugurated to7dayaWtth much ceremony. The invited guests includ- ed President Diaz and his cabinet, the su- preme court judges, members of the dip lomatic carps, city officials, the superior board of health, Sir weetman Pearson, con- tractor for the canal Governor vinada of the state of Mexico, bankers and journal ists.
 The party went early fin the morning to San Lazario on the outskirts of the city, where the ceremony of opening the gates of the canal connecting with the sewer system of the city, was performed by Pres ident Diaz. who declared the canal open. The entire party was then taken in steam train to the terminus of the canal, thirty miles away to the mouth of the great tunnel connecting with the canal. At that point a banquet was served and speeches were made congratulatory to President Dfaz for the successful carrying out of his idea, and to Sir Weetman, the contractor. There was a large display of troops and military bands played along the line taken by the presidential party. A presidential salute of twenty-one guns was fired by battery on the departure and on the return of the president.
 The work has been done in the most thorough manner, and has occupied nearly eleven years, during which time the gov ernment has given the project its onstant and liberal aid. The work of draining the Valley of Mexico is now completed, and it remains merely to construct the sewers of the city. The work is already we'll un- der way in order to take. advantage of the colossal engineering undertakings to-day declared finished. The completion of the new sewer system of this city drainage of the important and rapidly growing sllbur- ban towns. will be taken in hand, the re- suit must be a considerable diminution in the death rate As fast as the streets are put in order after laying new sewers, they will be paved with sheet asphalt in su- perior manner.
 There is much comment on the order of the archbishop of Mexico prohibiting the acting of the Passion Play, usual during holy week In the suburban towns. This most ancient custom is held in high esteem by the masses of the people, who resent the interference with the timeIhonored practice. The archbishop has been advised to take this action on account of the degenera ton of the Passion Play into semi-burlesque, and giving occasion for rioting and drunk enneSs. It remains to be seen whether the edict is observed.

Some of the most prominent metal manufacturers in the country were present at the meeting, representing hundreds of millions of capi- tal
 The International Association of Machin- ists was represented by President James OConnell and several members of the board of trustees. Much more is involved than the strike of machinists in Chicago, as it is understood a strike at once will be declared in other cities unless a settlement is reached Monday, and for this reason the Manufacturers are anxious to secure set clement of the trouble. The decision will affect fully 100000 men

WAR THREATENED
Western Press Thinks Trouble Between
 Russia and Japan Certain

Yokahoma, February g, via. Victoria, B. C., March 1.-The perslstency with which phe western press clings to the imminence of war between Russia and Japan Is at tracing much attention here. Thus far there has seemed to be no foundation what ever for the rumor. The fact which now impresses the public is the arrival of rep resentatives of some of the prominent New York papers, who have been sent for the express purpose of being on the spot when the outbreak comes. This, together with the activity prevailing in the Russian squadron in eastern waters assembling in force as it is the Korean straits and the re- ports constantly coming in of extraordi- nary doings at Port Arthur, have at least forced the conviction that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire, and the people and press are correspond ingly on the qui quive. '
 In official circles the utmost calm is man. ifested. while everybody else is wondering what 1t all means. .
 In the meantime one of the Chinese pa- pers actually propounds the theory that Japan will be likely to take the opportuni- ty furnished by the approaching naval maneuvers in the Korean straits to strike a sudden blow at Russia. .,
 The question as to the land titles held by the foreigners here under the old treaties has at last been settled by an authorita- tive communication from the foreign of- fee to the French minister. which is en- tirely satisfactory to the holders and there- fore one of the chief causes of the friction under the new order of things has been removed.
 Yokahoma has been visited by another great fire. sweeping away 300 houses in the native town. Comparatively utter destitu- tion has not been caused by it, as the Jap anese are now largely availing themselves of the resources of insurance and thorough ly appreeiating its benefits The Japanese diet prorogued on the 4th after ses- sion of small accomplishments.

ELECTIONS ON
 AMERICAN PLAN General Wood Decides How the Cubans Shall Vote. CANDIDATES COMING OUT Friends Are Urging Them to Make the Race in True American Style
 Secretary Root Sails
 For Charleston
CANDIDATES COMING OUT

Havana March 1.-The commission that was appointed to decide upon a plan fors municipal elections as yet has been unable to agree upon any plan. Governor General Wood, therefore, has decided to have the first election taken place after the manner of American elections, feeling that 1t is necessary to have no delay, owing to the fact that the elections must occur on May l. AS yet no one has been absolutely an- nounced as candidate for mayor of Havana. The friends of several are putting their names before the public, however.
 Fernandino Decastro, the last of the Spanish civil governors, has been promi- nently mentioned by the Spanish element. The friends of Senor Enrique Collaso say that Decastro could not get the Cuban vote, while Collaso would receive Doth Cuban and Spanish. Juan Guafberto Gomez Is the popular candidate for the colored race, while others gre urging the candidacy Of Prefecto Lacoste. the present mayor.
 Elizo Gaberga formerly a representative in the Spanish congress and one or the leaders of the Cuban National League; Salvador Cisneros, the last president; Miguel Geno, president of the University of Havana, and Senor Miguel, editor of La Lucha, men all prominent in poities, have also been named as probable candi- dates.
 Secretary of War Root sailed today on the SeGswick for Charleston.
 The quartermaster department has re- ceived requests from 100 colonists at La Gloria for transportation, and their appL- cation has been endorsed by the civil au- thouities of Puerto Principe, who fear that the presence of so many unemployed, who have no means eR support, wtn cause an epidemic of yellow fever. General Wood will endeavor to have a transport ordered to Neuvdtas before the quarantine begLns.
 Civil Governor Nunez left today for Phila- delphia on private business.
