 Preparations are well under way , various committees having been ap- pointed. and already more than S5O0O.00 gold has been subscribed to defray expenses.

 Fat purses will be offered in the drilling, steer tying, broncho busting, and base ball contests and horse-race, and it is the intention to secure the attendance of the leading experts in these, in this section. Tine Mexican citizens are also greatly interested, lending their assistance and subscrib ipg literally.
 Cananea intends to demonstrate, that love of the fatherland is just as strong among it's exiles, and promises to have the most unique and enthu- siastic observance of our natal day, that was ever given in the southwest.

YAMAGATA WARNS oYAMA.
Correspondents and Attaches Must Me
 Treated With Respect.

Tokio, Sept 17--(9 D. m.)-Owing to the friction between the military au- thorities and field attaches and corre~ spondents Field Marshal Yamagata, chief of the general staff. today tele- graphed to Field Marshal Oyama. Com mander in Chief of the Japanese army In the field the following:
 The imperial declaration of war as proclaimed to the people. Is universally recognized as being based on the broad principles of justice. It makes no dis tinction of race. religion. or national manners or customs. The sole object of the war Is to insure the safety of this Empire. guarantee the peace os the Orient, spread the blessings of civ iliZation and promote the general inter- ests of all nations. It Is. therefore, hoped that these principles will also find expression in the treatment of foreign officers and correspondents at tached to our armies. and that so long as the rule of military secrecy is not fnfringed. frank and candid consid eration be extended to them, so that the spirit of sincerity which animates this empire be fully demonstrated to the whole world"

THE MESSAGE OF DIAZ
RECOMMENDATION OF THE MExI-
 CAN PRESIDENT.
Communication to Congress Dwells at Length Upon the Friendly Rela- tions Existing With the
 Nations of the Earth.

Mexico City, Sept. 17.-President Diaz's message delivered at the con- voking of Congress, which occurred yesterday was today given to the press for publication. The message was of the usual length and dwelt particularly on the friendly relations existing with all foreign powers.
 The arrival of the first diplomatic representative of China was noted and the President also noted the progress of public Improvements in the city and in all towns in the federal district. He reported the result of the sanitary cam paign against yellow fever as gratify- ing.
 There has been no recurrence of this disease in epidemic form during this year. The President reviewed at length the notable advances made here in education. During the first halt of the current fiscal year 1,s00 titles were granted to mining properties,
 There has been a notable activity in mineral prodifo ion aps, Mexico now takes second rank as a rcducer of cop per. Much hae been scgItpIished in the way of p,i-t wcrks and dralrsge systems. The railways os the coun- try have increased greatly during the past year. The federal telegraph sys- tenn has steadily grown, 1.500 kiiome- tres of new lines having been built.
 The national finances are in an ex- cellent condition. The total revenues of the fiscal year ending June 30, were over $S5.000,000; this is a gain of $S,- 000,000 over the previous fiscal year.
 Both the custom collections and the stamp taxes continue to give large re- turns. In reference to military mat ters, the President says great progress has been made In improving and modernizing armaments and the artil- lery has been strengthened. He states that the new war vessels con- structed In the United States and Italy will add to the importance and eff ficiency of the navy.
 International peace has continued un- interrupted and the country has con- tinued prosperous.
 The President pays tribute to the Mexican people who have demonstrated their good sense and love for peace and order
 No mention is made of the monetary reform which may come before Con- gross this year or next spring in a special session.
 The message is replete with facts demonstrating the great progress made here and the business community re- gards 1t as contrlbutory to maintaining domestic and foreign confidence as 1t shows a remarkably solid condition of the national finances.

NO NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Eyes of Russia Turned on StoesseI's
 Brave Defense of Port Arthur.

Eyes of Russia Turned StOessers
 Brave Defense of Port Arthur.
 St. Petersburg, Sept. 1s.-There has been an entire absence of news from the front today. The War Office is dis playing no especial concern as yet over the continual skirmishing on the Hanks Of the Russian army, regarding 1t as the natural desire of the Japanese to keep in touch with the Russian f6rces rather than a premonitory symptom of forward movement by Commander in- Chief Oyama's army, which the author itfes are inclined to believe cannot oc- cur within a fortnight unless large re Inducements have been received and the work of getting up supplies has been more quickly than was supposed to be possible.
 The Japanese. having been unable to follow up their victory at Liaoyang when the time was ripe, the War Office sees no reason for feverish haste on their part to come in touch with Gen eral Kuropatkin, now that he has had time to recuperate his forces.
 The question whether a big battle will be fought in the vicinity of Muk- den Is considered here to depend chief ly upon General Kuropatkin, as 1t Is not believed the Ja apanese will be able to force him tC light at Mukden unless 7 he so elects. The general idea Is that when the advance really comes the Japanese will simply outfank Mukden and go direct against Tie Pass.
 The movements of the Japanese land forces and the appearance of a large iotilla In the Liao River are believed to support this view.
 As far as the public is concerned interest seems again to the gravitating toward Port Arthur, where the gallant fight of Lieutenant-General Stoessers garrison is being watched with intense Interest. The report that the garrison has been forced to fall back to the use of home-mad powder which is proving defective, Is considered d discouraging factor.
 It would be national grief should the defense of the fortress fail through lack of ammunition. More importance 1t attached in military circles to the re ports that the Japanese have aban- doned the idea of a direct assault. and are tunnelling the Notifications, and it Is believed to be possible that the end may come at Sevastapol with a re- petition of the dreadful carnage at the Malakoff tower.

 Indiana Man Declares That He Finds Things in Indiana Encourag- ing and Leaders are in . Fighting Mood.
THE ABSENCE OF TAGGART

New York, Sept 17.--It was said at Democratic headquarters today that Judge Parker will make another visit to New York within week or before tho publication of his letter of accept ance and that the personal conferences between the nominee and his managers will be repeated as often as necessary. Just why Chairman Taggart of the National Committee. found it necessary to leave the city on the eve of Judge Parker's visit was explained today by Mir. Tanning. MT. Taggart's chief as- sistant at Democratic headquarters. Mir Tanning Is vice chairman of the Indiana State Democratic Committee. Some weeks ago he said he visited that State and found that a consultation be- tween State leaders and the National Chairman was very desirable. but that it was impractical for these leaders to visit New York.
 He promised them to induce MT.
 Taggart to go to Indiana if possible andAon his return to New York placed such a manner that the visit was ar. ranged. Appointments were made al Indianapolis and French Lick Springs, and the dates fixed. It was not until noon of the day on which MT. Taggart was to leave for the West that he war informed by Judge Parker over ths long distince telephone that the Judge intended coming to New York.
 MT. .Taggart explained the situation to Mir. Parksr and suggested 1t would be impracticable for some time to can- eel the arrangement in Indiana and II. limos. Judge Parker assented to this but saw no reason to cancel his own visit to New York City.

ing to the jail, there instructions be- ing to use their bayonets upon any person who attempted to rush the lines. Everything was working smoothly when a telegram to Captain Hay was received. It said Report with your company to the sherif of Madison County" and was signed "J. Kirk Jackson"
 This placed the company under the command of Sheriff Rogers and upon him. according to the view of the of- ficers. and men. rests the burden of events that followed
 At about 9 o'clock the mob made an attack upon the pickets at every point at the same time. One of them fiYed on the crowd, but all of them were knocked down and disarmed. The other men were ordered in the jail by the sheriff, 1t is said. and were sta tioned on the stair-ways. The posi- ton of the men hid from their view the main entrance to the jail as well as the back entrance.
 The crowd burst in the front doors but were halted by Sheriff Rodgers, who warned them that he would shoot. From the back, several persons got within the 1ail and started a fire with kerosene, which quickly blazed up and soon got beyond control Sulphur and , cheyenne pepper were thrown through the open door upon this blaze. Begged to he Permitted to Shoot.
 Several members of the company begged to be allowed to shoot. but the word was not given. They were ordered to shoot only when the mob appeared on the stairway leading UT to their position, which it did not do The officers and men in the company dc not know how the negro Naples got to a window and jumped into the crowd nor do they know in what part of the jail the negro was confined Theil whole action was based upon the brtei order received from the Governor.
 They agree that Sheriff Rodgers con- ducted himself in a brave and fearless manner and that his only mistake was in believing until too late that there was no harm in the crowd that had stood around the jail nearly eight hours before a hostile movement was made.
 One man was arrested by the militia tonight for disorderly conduct after he had been warned to move on. The disorderly crowds of Saturday night have not been allowed to congregate as usual near the picket lines.
 Some people are expressing doubts that any of the lynchers will ever be convicted, and claim that the appear ance of militia in the civil court crcat- ed sentiment in favor of the prisoners.
 It Is freely stated that 500 names will have to be drawn before twelve men will be found who will swear that they have not formed fixed opinion in regard to the lynching.

10-CENTCOITON ALWAYS
SCHEME TO PREVENT STAPLES
 GOING ANY LOWER.
Col. A. A. Peters, of Texas, Talks of the Plan to Aid Growers of Cotton
 to Hold Their Crops.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

Washington, Sept. IT.
 Col. A. A Peters of Texas, President of the Cotton Growers Protective As sociation, has succeeded In floating an enterprise. which he said today would mean 10-cent cotton always.
 He is on his way home from New York, where he has been for some time in conferences with financial men of national reputation, whom he has suc- ceeded in interesting in the scheme
 Colonel Peters is one of the incorpor- ators of the Southern Cotton Corpor- ation. just formed with abundant cap ital. for the purpose of controlling the cotton output of the Southern States. The corporation will establish ware houses throughout the Cotton States and give the farmers receipts for all the cotton received These receipts will pass current and will be Good as gold" said the Colonel today.
 The corporation will hold the cotton for a fixed price, regulated by the sup ply and demand, of course.
 'It is our purpose" said Colonel Pe- ttrs. ''to fix the price of our cotton fn- stead of allowing 1t to be fixed in Liv- erpool and New York by spinners and specuIators It will be impossible for us to get our scheme fin operation in time to handle this years crop, but we will be ready for business before next years Is picked. and in two or three years we are confident of being able to control the output. It will be a bless ing to the cotton planters of the South" '"
 Colonel Peters said that among the men who are interested with him in the enterprise Is a New York financier whose check Is good for a hundred million. The matter is to be discussed at the convention of the Farmers Ma tional Congress. the Southern Cotton Growers Association. and the Cotton Growers Protective Association at St. Louis on September 26. He says there is no doubt fin the world that the en- terprise will be fin operation before next wear and none that 1t will prove bene- ficiaI to the growers of cotton.

CANNON IN INDIANA,
Calls on Voters of Vincennes District
 to Dispiace Mfers.

Princeton. Ind, Sept. 17.-Hon. Joseph c. Cannon spoke in Vincennes this afternoon and in this city tonight, the audiences in both cities being large. Mir. Cannon's speeches were general in scope, but at Vincennes he gave special attention to the pension question, due to the fact that Representative Miers of the Vincennes district is the senior Democratic member of the House Com mitee on Invalid Pensions.
 He recalled MT Miers's protestations in favor of liberal treatment of pen- sioners, but declared that if the Demo- cratic party should come into power, the policy of that party and not that of Mir. Miers would control.
 He gave the Republican party credit for practically all the pension legisla- tion. He declared that the real atti- tude of the Democratic party toward pensions Is shown by the fact that the Democratic minority of the House Com mitee on Appropriations had opposed the appropriation of $1,50O.0O to carry the Presidents old age pension order into effect.
 Mir. Cannon made an urgent plea to the voters of the district to displace Mir. Miers with q Republican.
