the stand of Gen. Hernandez, person
al representative of President Diaz,

ident on behalf of his president, eX-

Spouse paid high tribute to the pres
ident of the Mexican republic and
charged his emissary to convey to his
chief his warm regard and personal
esteem with his best wishes for the
continued prosperity of our sister re-
public. The presidents speech was
very happy and was especially notable
on account of his injunction to the
people ~ It to be alarmed about i'm
perialism.
There was, he said, no imperialism
except the imperial power of the SOW
'ar people of the United States.
The governor of Chihuahua also
warmly welcomed the president to the

were preceded by a military parade.
The ladies of the cabinet crossed the
Rio Grande to Juarez, where they

Report Denied.
London, May "A representative
of the press was officially informed
Monday that the statement of the
Shanghai correspondent of the Lon
don Times that China has approached
the powers, suggesting a complete
opening of Manchuria to the enter
prise of all countries and that replies
have been received from Japan, the
United States and Great Britain. is
incorrect. China has not approached
the powers in regard to general
opening of Manchuria What actual
~ occurred was that a high Chinese
official threw out such a suggestion
and, after some slight diplomatic
mention the matter ended there. 1t
is realized in Downing street that
any step towards securing the open
ing up of Manchuria would be con-
strued at St. Petersburg as direct OPP
position to Russia's desires. The
British foreign once has not the
slightest intention of embarlling
upon such fruitless task as the one
indicated by the Times correspon-
dent, and believes the United States
and Japan fully concur with that
view.

keenly appreciated in Downing

from the concert, which step Lord
Lansdowne does not contemplate for

here of Germans having fired on the

Now that tho waters of the Brandy
wine have subsidized, evidences Of tie
ruin wrought by the heavy rain OF
Sunday night are beginning to appear
along the Brandywine. Farm imple-

resting places and dashed down the
creek for many miles. Along the his.
toric shores of that famous stream In
the vicinity OF this city the dead bodies
of pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, horses

They Get One Every Time Gov. HUM
Makes an Appointment-He Recognizes
Only Addicks Republicans.
Every time Gov. HUM makes an
appointment now, the Regular Re-
publioans are likely to have a shock,
for in his appointments they see or
think they see an intention to recognize
those persons only who favored the
election of j. Edward Addicks to the
United States Senate.
1t is stated that the understanding
was that Gov. HUM should appoint
Union Republicans in Kent and Sussex
counties, and Regular Republicans In
New Castle county, and that he is not
abiding by this agreement. All APP
pointments made in New Castle county.
or appointments which are believed to
be slated, are alleged to be of Republic
cana who were for Addicks. In this
connection are mentioned the names Of
Philip Q. Churchman. Municipal
Court Judge; George H. Hollis, justioe
of the peace; Francis L. Bradley, slated
for justice OF the peace; James P.
Ratlpdge, for State detective; I. A.
d. Hutson and Jacob Hadley Lewis,
for election commissioners.
Its plain to be seen, said Regu-
lar Tuesday, speaking of appoint
ments made by GOV. HUM. "that be
don't intend to appoint anybody who
doesn t favor Addicks. +"
Looking towards the city election,
the Addicks and Higgins men are
alleged to have agreed already to have
only one ticket in the field, and the
leaders back of this from tho old Regu-
lar Republican camp are said to include
Clerk of the Peace Winfield 8. QuiRley,
Judge Churchmap, Assistant Post
master II. II. Billany, Tax Collector
Thomas s. Lewis and Jacob Hadley
Lewis.
For mayor, under the auspices Of this
combination, the name of Representa-
tive James W. Robertson is tentatively
suggested.
