MAY BE PREPARING FOR WAR.
Mexican Government Buying Horses
Mt Fancy Prices.

Omaha, Oct. ga special to the
World-Herald from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says:
Senior Manuel Alvarez, an agent of
the Mexican government, came to
Cheyenne about two weeks ago and
since that time he has purchased sew
eral carloads of saddle horses which
have been shipped to the City of Mex
co. Judging from words dropped now
and then by Senior Alvarez the Next
can government is preparing for war |;
either a rebellion or a war of conquest
Alvarez will say nothing as to his real
purpose in buying so many horses and
animals that would readily be accepted
by the united States government for
cavalry service. The prices paid are
in some cases fancy, and Senior Alvarez
seems to have plenty of money. He
says that he was directed to this sec
ton because of the reputation made by
Wyoming and Colorado horses in the
late Spanish war. He says ne wants
only the very best animals.

Agreement on China.

London, Oct. 2l.-The agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Germany, tidings
of which came Sunday, to maintain the
territorial integrity of China. while it saw
ors of Independent action nd would doubt
less be adhered to despite the protest of any
other power, it is not looked upon here as
forming an obstacle to the progress of ne
gotiations upon the basis laid down in the
last French note, or indeed upon any prop
ositions which will not infringe upon the
essential principles of the AngloGerman
compact.
The Associated Press is informed that
Lord Salisbury's reservations, or actions
as he prefers to have them called, when
answering the recent notes, especially
that of France, either bid fair to be ac-
cepted in toto or subjected to such >modi-
fcations that Great Britain will be as
srred that territorial integrity will be con-
served and will be able TO join whole
heartedly in the negotiations which may
already be said to be started in Pekin.

New York, Oct. 2l.-An officer of the

statement that a new boat will be built

Herreshoffs will be the builders. This is
the first positive declaration that has been
made in this matter.
1t was not said whether the new yacht
will be owned by an individual or a syndi-
cate, but the announcement of the steps
to be taken for the proper defense of the
trophy viii probably be made at the regu-
lar meeting of the club, to be held Octo-

SOUTHAMPTON 70 LONDON
FOR BIG CANAL CONSTRUCTION.
Adopting American Transit Plan
scheme Kept Quiet-In Hands of
c. Il. Yerkes of Chicngo-Much OPP
position Encountered.

London. Oct. 2l.-The latest and most
important project ON foot in England, so
the Associated Press learns, is the con-
struction of a canal from Southampton to
London. The surmise as TO the farreach-
ing consequences such step would en-
tail is scarcely less interesting than the
fact that if it is accomplished it is h-.ely
to be through the instrumentality Of
American capital. Coming on top of Lon
don's adoption of the American transit
system and utilization of American money
and brains, the latest project may well
be said to cap the climax. No word of
the new scheme has yet been mentioned
in the papers and few people. know of its
existence Nevertheless the route from
Southampton to London has been care
fully surveyed by competent engineers,
who declare the canal is not only feasible,
but that it could be built at a compare
lively small expenditure. The whole mat
tel has just been put in the hands of the
same firm of contractors which is handling
Charles T. Yerkes' new London railroad,
although the Chicago m,.Aonaire himself
is not known to be taking an active part in
it at present. Indeed, the legal and other
difficulties which it is necessary to over
come before the construction of the canal
is assured are so great that some time
must elapse before the financial part OF the
matter comes up prominently.
The opposition encountered by the pro-
moters of the Manchester and Liverpool
in parliament and elsewhere would prob
ably be as nothing to the jealous efforts
of other cities in the same direction in
this case, for since the American line OF
steamers made Southampton its port OF
call Southampton has so improved itself
and has so affected the trade of other
ports that it already regarded with
jealous eye. What commercial revolu-
tons will ensue from a ship canal enab-
ling transatlantic and other liners to
land their passengers in the heart of Lon
don many hours earlier than any other
route can be easily judged by the growing
popularity of the smaller steamship lines
now sailing direct to and from London by
the slow route of the Thames.
The underground system has at last
stimulated the owners OF district railroad
stock to buy those securities in the belief
that an electrical installation must re-
place the present steam and smoke, which
make travelling on the old underground
railroad such an obnoxious experience for
all foreigners.
Murray Griffiths, probably the largest
owner of district stock, had a conference
with Mr. Yerkes' representative in London
Friday, but they both have denied that
there is any expectation OF a necessity
that Mr.. Yerkes will interest himself in
this new enterprise.
Griffiths, whose buying sent up the stock
10 points, informed a representative OF the
Associated Press that he believed an cleo
trio installation could be satisfactorily ac-
conplished if the directors could only be
brought to realize the necessity OF keeping
up with the times.
