Wonderful Progress.

A close observer of present condi-
tons in Mexico states that there is
probably no country in the world that
ever made SO much progress In so
short a SPACE Of time as has Mexico
during the past twenty-five years. I'm
der the wise and firm direction Of
President Diaz, the republic has won
for itself the foremost place among the
nations of Spanish America and has
attracted the attention and trust OF the
whole world The Mexico of President
Diaz has become distinguished by
scrupulous punctuality in the fulfill
ment of it's obligations. The national
credit is not only above par, but also
that Of every state and almost every
municipality of any size in the repub-
lic., AS bearing upon this matter, Geo.
d. Cook, former Iowan, who lived
in Ottumwa from 1873 to 1878, and
who is now senior member of the
banking firm of Geo. d. Cook & Co.,
of rs Broad street, New York, gave me
some exceedingly interesting facts. q I
met Mr.. Cook in Mexico City. His firm
has had a great deal to do with Next
can finances during the past ten years,
and Mr.. Cook is on intimate personal
terms with President Diaz, Financial
Secretary Limantour and other high
Mexican officials. The first foreign
bonds ever sold in the United States
were million and half of the state
of Jalisco, Mexico, bonds sold in 1898
by Mr.. Cooks firm. Mr.. Cook states
that this statement was questioned by

Secretary Root Talks on Trade with
South America.

Kansas City, Mo.-Before the Trans.
mississippi Commercial congress here
Tuesday night Elihu Root, secretary
of state, delivered his second speech
in this city within two days. 1t was
the feature of the first days sessions
Of the congress. AS on Monday night,
Mr.. Root dwelt upon our relations
with the South American republics,
telling Of his recent trip through these
countries. He said the time had come
for the expansion of trade between the
countries of the north and south that
would result in the peaceful prosper
ity OF a mighty commerce. He de-
clared that the means OF communica.
ton between these countries must be
improved and increased, and said the
"Woeful deficiency in the means to
carry on and enlarge our South Amer
lean trade is but part of the general
decline and feebleness OF the Ameri-
san merchant marine.
The representatives Of Bolivia, Peru.
Colombia, Brazil and Chilli also spoke.
following Mr.. Roots theme closely.
speaking Of the possibilities OF invest.
ment OF American capital in their en-.

ception of the loss of eight lives
as result of the storm Saturday
night and Sunday, which swept the
greater portion CT west Tennessee.

Alabama and eastern Arkansas. there
has been no further loss of life.
Telegraphic communication Is grad
ually being restored, but railroad
traffic is greatly impaired, and in
many instances demoralized. The
rain continues to fall, but the volume
is greatly diminished. Reports from
the western section Of Tennessee show
that the railroads have suffered
greater damage than ever before.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & ST.
Louis, the Mobile & Ohio, The South,
ern and the Illinois Central are unable
to operate trains at all through Jack
son, Tenn. Tracks are washed out for
long stretches, bridges are down and
in some places the water is standing
over the wrecks for miles, making it
an utter impossibility to operate
trains.
Farmers have suffered great loss.
both in crops and live stock. The
damage done by the wind and rain
will amount well into the hundreds OF

VI the i've female passengers on the

oeiieved to be tss only person who
escaped from the main deck Of the

uixs passengers were shut in when
the latal crash came. She could not
SWIM, but her clothing kept her afloat
until she was pulled aboard one Of
tne two lifeboats lowered by the
steamship jeanne.
IL is believed that the 81 passen.
gers who were rescued included every
person who was on the open deck Of
the DIX when the little craft plunged
stern foremost into 100 fathoms Of
water. 1t Is doubtful whether she can
be raised.
The collision occurred while the
sound was almost as smooth as a mill
pond and after the boats had been
steaming within sight OF each other
Tor a quarter of an hour. The Jeanne
was backing when she colIided with

before she was submerged.

INTO the water women screamed and
officers and men called orders that
could hardly be heard above the din.
Passengers who could swim made
their way to the sides of the Jeanne

was not moved until after all who had
reached her had been hauled aboard.
Then she cruised about, picking up
several who had been able to stay
above water.
