MEXICAN FEAST OF THE DEAL,
A Day of Strange Gifts in the Sister
Republic.

A Day of Strange Gifts in the Sister
Republic.
The feast of the dead is the day In
Mexico that takes the place of st. Val
entine's day Of this country. The Gus
tom is that of giving gifts the same as
the custom Of this country, but the peo-
pie differ greatly as to the gifts. Here
the tokens are bits Of painted silk and
verse telling of regard, trinkets as SYM
bols Of friendship, flowers as happy
remembrance that the good old times of
the good old saint are not entirely for
gotten. AS the name of the day signi-
fies, the people Of Mexico have their
shop windows filled with puppets and
groups supposed to commemorate the
dead, and odd little things some Of
them are and many are very costly.
One gift to go to some wealthy person
was an ebony hearse, about foot long,
trimmed in inlaid pearl. Miniature
horses were attached and a miniature
man held the lines, wearing a very
doleful expression on his face. Then
there are slabs of board with tiny fig
ures of priests marching in procession,
bearing between them the coffin Of the
dead, on which is the sign Of the cross.
These little slabs are supposed to repre-.
sent the funerals of persons in every
walk OF life, and are given as gifts on
the day of the feast of the dead, and
varying in price and pomp according
to the station of the recipient. If per
son really has had a death in the fami
ly then greater care is taken in the Sc
lection, but if he has not had a deatt
the gift finds its way to his home JUS
the same to remind him that life is bu
transient at best.
These little gifts are In many designs
some of them being but single figures
musiciand, bakers, gypsies, devils ant
SO on, to take the place Of the comb
valentine. Then they appear in littl
skeletons, reading from the books o
life or fate, sitting on an altar or
grave. Or a figure IN the agony o
death or a mummy being removes
from some ruin, but always Of death o
the dead.

Imperial Government Orders Fer.

u
Paris, Aug. e-Cheng, director gen
eral of railways and telegraphs, has Just
communicated to the consuls at Shanghai,
according to special dispatch to the
Temps dated August 5, an imperial decree. |
dated August 2, authorizing the foreign |
ministers in Pekin to communicate with |
out restriction with their governments and
ordering their departure for Tientsin I'M
der a good escort.
"An weII-No Fighting Since 18th."
Washington, Aug. "a belated mes
: sage from Minister Conger was re-
ceived today at the state department. It'll
came through Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai The advices are the same as
those received day or two ago by the
state department from Consul Fowler at
Chefoo. Mr.. Adee, acting secretary of
state, later in the day issued the following
statement:
Consul General Goodnow, in cable
gram dated Shanghai, August 5, which
was received at the department of state
at 4 o'clock this Sunday morning, re-
ports the receipt by Consul Ragsdale at
Iientsin of messages from Minister Con-
ger and the secretary of the legation,
Mr.. Squires, dated July 81, to the follow
ing effect:
"'All well; no fighting since the 10th,
by agreement. Enough provisions. Hope
for speedy relief"
Mr.. Goodnow adds that Director Of
: Posls Sheng had on the 9Th made to him
an imperial edict dated July 80, ordering
: Jung Lu to provide an escort for the min
listers to Tientsin, when the ministers fix
the date. The euict says the ministers
E can receive messages in cipher, but, not
withstanaing this, plain messages were
returned to some consuls on August 4.
While the messages from Minister Con
: ger and Secretary Squires bear the dat,
of July 81, the belief, founded not only
: upon them, but also upon collateral anc
. later information, is that the legationer'
: are yet safe from immediate harm. Al
q present there is no means of knowing

WASHINGTON, August Bad news
came this morning from Admiral Rem
ey in a report indicating that serious
resistance has developed to the prog
ress of the Pekin relief column. His
advice confirms the opinion of the ex-
perts here as to the fights already re-
ported near Tien Tsin being nothing
more than the result of recconissances.
Still scouting party 500 strong, is no
inconsiderable force and the fact that
the Japanese suffered severely is re-
garded here as proof positive that the
relief column will have some lively
fighting ahead
A feeling akin to Indignation was ex-
cited here by the press report from
Tien Tsin of the apparent Indifference
of the commanders there to the criti-
cal state of the legationers at Pekin.
The war department officials are salts
fed that Chaffee at least, is blameless
for he undoubtedly is exercising all of
his influence with the other comman-
ders to get the column in motion
Meanwhile the sharp check received by
the Japanese scouting party is an in
dication of what he might experience
should he take the desperate chance of
pushing forward alone.
Secretary Hay and Minister WI
added another score to their credit to-
day when dispatch came from United
States Consul Fowler, at Chefoo, ap-
parently removing all doubt as to the
authenticity of the famous cipher Con-
ger dispatch.
Minister WI and the German am
bassador were at the state department
in gust of information, having, as they
said, no news themselves.
A cabinet meeting was held to-day,
which lasted about an hour. The
Remey dispatch, telling of the check
to the japanese scouting column, was
read, but was not considered as of
serious Importance as affecting the
general advance. 1t was stated that
the government has no official assur-
ance that a general advance on Pek-
ing has begun by the American or any
other contingent of the international
force.
The Fowler dispatch also was dis
cussed and one of the members said
that it was accepted as putting an
end to any possible controversy as to
the authenticity of the original Conger
cipher dispatch.

FOUND THE ROOM
Where the Plot to Murder King Hum
bert Was ConcOcted

bert Was ConcOcted.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Detectives
have found the room in which it ia
claimed that the plot to kill King
Humbert was formed. 1t is on the
second floor of a West Hoboken. N.
j., resort for anarchists and is in the
heart of the Italian settlement The
place has not been known as a meet
ing place for anarchists. There have
been no public meetings held there
and the room where the men met was
kept for the most secret conference
purposes.
The detectives say they learned last
night from socialists who attended
meeting at the place that less than
four months ago two Italians, man
and woman, arrived in Hoboken, and
an important conference was held in
this room. At the conference there
were anarchists from New York city,
from Brooklyn, from the Italian colony
in Philadelphia and from Paterson and
West Hoboken. This socialist never
saw Bresci and never saw Quinta-
vallo, but the description of the men
TALES with that of two of the men at
the conference.
1t is learned that the assassin, Bresci.
was member of what is known as
the international group" of anar-
chists. The police also have learned
that prior to Bresci's leaving this coun-
try he was rendered a banquet by
group of anarchists in this city. The
celebration took place In an anarchist
resort in Blocker street Eight per-
sons were present. Besides Bresci.
there were Salvatore Quintavello.
man named SASH and a man named
Lenner or Lana. all of whom are I'M
der arrest in Italy. The other guests
are not yet known to the police. but
one of them was said to be a woman.
This would indicate that there were
at least eight persons concerned In the
plot to kill the king
