FRENCH MONEY INVESTED.
Much Cash Placed in Industrial Inter-
 ests of Mexico.

Mexico City, Oct. 1.-French capital continues to be invested heavily in Mexican industrial interests.
 The Bank of Paris and the Nether- lands have subscribed $1.000,00O to the new issue of stock of the San Rafael Paper Manufacturing Company here which issues $2,O0O.00O capital. This concern is large paper making combi- nation including several mills taken in to the trust some time ago.
 French capital has gone largely into Mexican cigarette companies and cot ton mills and Mexican industrial stocks are now listed on the Paris bourse.
 French capital holds the controlling interest in the great banks of this city. This practically displayed interest in Mexican business has aroused the at tention of British interests which now propose starting great Anglo Mexi- car Bank, the Bank of London and Mexico having passed into French hands.
 Ambassador Casasus continues seri- ously i'll and much anxiety is felt by his friends His sickness Is due to the intellectual overstrain and partly to his preparations for departing to take his rest at Washington.

TRIED TO ROB CASH DRAWER.
| Disappointed Thief at Pickett
 Springs.


 Some mercenary individual had a disappointment early Sunday morning g at Pickett Springs. when he looked into vacant drawer of Leo Klein's in the penny arcade of that resort.
 The individual may have corns on his hands and he may do well the next night of mischief to carry a vest-pocket X-ray machine. That Is, if the device for looking through hard wood is In good order, the fact of cash contents or no cash contents would be known. Thereby several hours of labor would be saved and such time Is worth con sidering when only a pocket knife is used for entering cash drawers.
 It was an empty, neat rectangle into which the burglar gazed after hacking. pulling and thrusting his knife into the bottom of the drawer. It was evidently a lot of greenbacks that the man or youth was cutting for as a few pennies would have been small consideration for his arduous task.
 There was ample opportunity for strenuous words when this miscreant with a failing for cash looked on the vacant results of his efforts. An ample hole was cut in the drawer, but the legal tender reward there was none. The cash man in the arcade has not announced the reward to be offered for the capture of the money monger. He does say, however, that 1t was an im- moral act and he would not counte- nance it even If the drawer had been packed with silver certificates.

see, that. I am not unduiy or improper iv trespa ssing your time with this rather personal matter.
 sRespectfully and sincerely yours.
 tsigned) Francis s Looh'is' The White House, oyster Bay, N. r.. Sept. 27, iso5. .My Dear MT. Loomis--In answer to your letter of September 2S. l desire to state in the broadest and most em- phatic manner that the statement you quote as appearing in certain newspa- pers, and especially in certain New York newspaper, as to the supposed dirference of opinion between myself and the late Secretary of State, MT. Hay in respect to the action taken by me regarding MT. Bowen in connection with the charges against you, is not merely without foundation in fact, but Is the direct reverse of the truth
 You were appointed Assistant Sec- retary of State upon MT. Hays sug- gestion and request He never spoke to me about you save with respect and cordial appreciation of the services you were rendering and he expressed to me very great regret that you were going to leave the service and stated that he he ped that you would stay as long as he did and that he would find it difficult to get any one in your place whom he would like so much.
 "<r. Hay expressed himself very freely on the occasion of his last visit to Washington, including the last oc- casion when l saw him alive. as regards the action taken by me on the report of Mir. Taft concerning the charges made by Mir. Bowen against you.
 Not only did he express himself about MT. Bowen to me in the language 1 1s.~. xts~- L IA the same time to you in speaking of MT. Bowen, but he also condemned Mr. Bowen in much stronger terms than those which you quote him as having used, and dwelt particularly upon the fact what he called the treachery and disloyalty of Mir. Bowen to the Govern ment and to him (Mr. Hay), repeating again and again that most of the charges MT. Bowen made were really not charges against you at all but against himself (Mr. Hay), and that Bowen of course knew this.
 Thought Loomis Innocent.
 Moreover, MT. Hay used about Mir. Bowen stronger language of condemna- tion that I have ever heard him use about any other man who had served under him. But this was not all. MT. Hay then did what he very rarely in- deed did. He expressed his strong dis sent from the action I had taken in en- dorsing Mir. Taft's report as regards even the mild censure of you which it contained. stating that he disagreed with both Mir. Taft and myself on this point, and felt that you were in no way whatever censurable and that the only action that he had been called for was the dismissal of Mir. Bowen and the announcement of your entire vindi- cation. Very truly yours,
 tSigned.) Theodore Roosevelt" Hon. Francis B. Loomis, Department
 of State, Washington, D. C."

Another month has passed and Mooiie remains immune from the scourSe which Is desolating homes in citles' towns and hamlets in Florida, Louis jana and Mississippi. While deepiy sympathizing with the eepeople Tn the stricken places elsewhere, the people here are rejoicing over the good TOT tune of Mobile, city and county, and the entire State On all sides praise IS being uttered for the persons in whose Keeping is the health of the people in every city, town, village and hamlet ln Alabama. With the knowledge that this city and Whistler are absolutely free from contagion, the action or the neighboring State of Mississippi a few days since continues to be a sore spot in the breast of every one here and Tn the county. While regretting the guar antine placed on the city many regret the action of the State Health Officer in placing every town in Mississippi un- der the ban.
 The greatest inconvenience ensuing from the quarantine against this city and Whistler and against the entire State of Mississippi by the State Of Ala bama is the handicap on the Mobile and Ohio and the Mobile. Jackson and Kansas City railroads. The latter got busy yesterday morning early and had a relay station in service at Latonia, Miss, in short order. The relaying or train crews became effective at once and very little delay was experienced Much credit Is due Joseph c. Costello, the Acting Superintendent, for his prompt work in establishing the relay station.
 It was rumored that A. G. Levy, a retired merchant of this city, would enter the race with Hon. c. Lawrence Lavretta for the Presidency of the Board of Public Works. This morning MT. Levy made absolute denial of any intention to enter the political arena. With the time for the municipal pri- mary drawing close the interest in the candidacy of the many for the few principal offices grows apace.,
 In the three -cornered mayoralty con- test the feature just now is the ex- pressed willingness of Candidates Der ney and Kirkbride to go on the stump and tell the dear people what blanks in their platforms are the strongest. Mayor Lyons. who makes the third in the race, has not declared himself, but his friends say he is willing for his administration to be given full airing.
 The scramble for the office of Re- corder is next in importance to that or the mayoralty and wise ones declare the race is to the strong, and for the one who gets the most votes This, of course, is conceded fact, but the smart Alecks refuse, in many instances to say who will get the necessary num- Der of votes. With no salary attached there are many who are willing to serve their constituents as Councilmen and Aldermen. Some of the candidates in this race are just as much in earnest in their efforts as the three who are asking for the mayoralty. Why the thusness is not known.

of John D. Hill, J. w. Davis and
DR.. S. H. Bell. with E. B. Gore as
consulting engineer. THE HERALD
obtained the following figures from
Mr.. Gore: The main drainage ditch
must be PA miles in length,
with an average depth of FIVE feet.
To construct this ditch it will
be necessary to move $4,000
cubic yards of earth, and the cost
will be about S48, 800. The object
of the work is to remove all sur
plus water from the subsoil, for
the removal of alkaline matters
from soil. The area affected is
about 81, 900 acres of land, and of
course smaller bitches will neces-
sarily have to be connected with
the main ditch by each Individual
who wishes to drain his land.
Drainage is absolutely essential in
all irrigated sections, and with
so short a stretch of main ditch for
such a vast area, seems to make
drainage comparatively easy mat
ter for this country, and THE HER
AID hopes the proposition may
meet with the success it deserves.
From c. c. Byram, of Soldadito,
Mexico, HERALD reporter learns
some of the details of gigantic
scheme by company of capitalists
in Mexico. 1t ha been rumored
for some time that immense capital
would be expended in developing
the Sautefo tract of over two mil
lion acres of land, and Mr.. Byram
has been selected to superintend
the boring of a test artesian well
at Soldadito, which is 80 miles
southwest of Matamotos. This well
will be used as test, and its depth,
flow of water and cost will be taken
into consideration, as to whether
or not the scheme is plausible. If
the first we'll is a success, the COM
pany contemplates putting down a
system of artesian wells to furnish
water for the immense two million
acre tract, and Mr. Byram, who by
the way, has had much experience
in drilling wells, both in the Sour
Lake and Saratoga oil fields, will
have full charge of the work of
this gigantic system of artesian
wells. 1t has not yet been made
known just what the company's
intentions are, but is supposed that
their plans are to brings the lands
to the highest possible development,
cut it up in tracts to suit purchasers
and dispose of it to actual settlers.
The enterprise is a gigantic one and
THE HERALD hopes to later fur
nish its readers with more definite
information on the subject.
