CHICAGO CAPITAL
GORN TO MEXICO
To Develop The Great Nat
uraI Resources Of the
Country

Chicago, May 3.-Chicago capitalists
and millions of Chicago money are to
develop the resources of Mexico until
the southern republic becomes one of
the important factors in the worlds
trade. Silver mines, supplying two
thirds of the silver of the world, coal
fields hundreds of miles in extent,
great reaches of iron and other ore
lands, thousands of acres of cottonseed
and the great grazing lands dotted with
rattle are to be made the objects of the
impulse Of Chicago money.
AS a first step in this direction John
]. Mitchell and Levi q. Letter have
been elected to the directorate of the
Mexican Central railroad.
Bonded warehouses are to be erected
at the City OF Mexico and at Vera Cruz.
Under present methods the Mexican
Importer is compelled to pay duty on
his goods the amount they are landed.
In the United States imports may be
stored until they can most opportunely
be released and disposed Of.
The concession under which these
great warehouses will be erected grants
the rights for 40 years. Into this en-
terprise alone it is estimated that from
100000 to s5,OOO.OOO of Chicago cap
ital will be placed.
Plans have been formulated for de-
veloping the great Mexican iron fields
at Durango and the coal deposits at
Coahuila. Railroad facilities are to be
provided where they are now lacking.
and total Of S2O,OOO,OOO of money may
represent the expenditures before the
work is completed.

FIERCE EIGHT IN CHINA

A cablegram from Pekin reports
briefly a fierce fight between Russian
and Chinese trccps, in which sixty o1i-
Gers and men of the Russians were kill
ed or wounded, including four officers.
In official circles at Washington the
prevailing view is that S273,O00. 600
represented a compromise between the
minimum amount urged by the United
States. and the maximum urged by
other Powers in the Chinese indemnity.
The original fetal amounted to a hall
billion dollars, so that the present to-
tai represents scaling down of about
40 per cent. At this rate the claim OF
the United States would be cut to about
$4,000.
II is believed at Washington that the
hitch which is said to have arisen at
Pekin over the proposition 10 increase
the Chinese customs duties to meet the
indemnities is caused by the broachine
by Mr.. Roclhlll Of his plan for the abo-
lition OF the duties as condition for
his acqulescence in the customs in.

Thc Cup defender Constitution.

New York, May 3.-The following
measurements and description of the
new Herreschoff cup defender, the Con-
stitutiOn, which is to be launched next
Monday night, are from an authorita-
tive source. The Constitution is of the
same overall length as the Columbia
1872 feet-and also of the same length
on the water line-s7 feet z inches.
There is little difference in the draught,
the Columbia drawing 10 feet z inches
and the Constitution a little less. The
Constitution, however, is wider in the
midship section by a foot and a half
than the Columbia. This will be great
ly to the advantage of the new boat
when she is held over.

CONFlDENCE IN M'KINLEY

This is a Western view of Addicks
and Addicksism. 10 is contained in
the editorial columns of the Louisville
Comier-Journal:
The Courier-JOurnal yesterday ex-
planned the pressure that Is being
made Just now on the president to
bring him to recognize the Addicks
faction OF Delaware Republicans by
the besaowal Of patronage. Such a
leading Republican journal as the New
York Sun seems TO be much concern
ed BY the prospect Of the president
yielding to this pressure, and says that
Il is viewed with sincere alarm by
friends OF his own throughout the
country. Il adds;
Nobody is better able than the presi-
dent to understand the size and shade
of the stain that will dishgure the his
torical record of his second term II he
now interferes in behalf Of such a man
as J. Edward Addicks.
"The president Is in a position SO
difficult and delicate that hesitation Is
a virtue. In this case the personal
sacrifice demanded of him on one side
Is nothing less than his own iden-
uification for all future time with Ad'
dicksism and whatever of odium anC
disgrace that unpleasant term implies
The brazen ambition of Addicks
dhwarted for years, to the honor of Del
aware, by the self-respecting Republi-
cans CT that State. asks that it be
crowned finally by the hand Of the
president"
Every word of this is true. and the
president knows that il is true. But th'
Sun does not fully put the case wheI
Il intimates that the influences brough
to bear upon the president 90 secure
his recognition of the Addicks faction
emanate from the Addicks factiOi
alone. There are very strong Repub
ican Influences outside of Delawar
which are being exerted on Presiden
Mckinley to induce him to identif.
himself with Addicksism, and the SUI
should turn the light OF its cOndemna
tion in that quarter, as well as upol
Addicks himself.
Speaking for the Republicans of Del
aware we will say that they have tina
confidence in the high character an
Republicanism of President McKinle
to warrant the belief that he never wi
give his countenance or support to Ad
dicks.
