at Macontent.

washington, July 21-Public Printer
Stillings today suspended from office As
sistant Foreman w. A. Miller with the
bndery of the government printing Of
fee on the recommendation of Acting
Foreman Ashton, the charges being insub-
ordination and insolence. Mr.. Stillings

final action.
Miller was the immediate cause of the
issuance by President Roosevelt of the
order declaring the government printing
offices, and all places wher9 workmen
are employed by the government Ito be
open shops" This resulted from Miller's
suspension from duty by the then public
printer in May, 1903, and his removal a

his expulsion from the union. Shortly
afterwards he appealed to President
Roosevelt with the result that on June

Mexico city, July 21.-sensational re-
ports telegraphed from various points

stration against foreigners in this
country on September Is, which is in
dependence day, are calculated to give
unnecessary alarm to Americans hav
ing interests in this country.
The internal peace of this country is
assured, and there has been no con-
ference of state governments called at
this capital as asserted, nor are there
any hot beds of revolution at any
point in the country. 1t is wholly I'M
true that preparations are being made
for an antl-foreign demonstration on

labor situation is well understood by
the government, (which protect work
ing <men in their legal rights of or
gaflizing for mutual aid, and the pro-
motion of their interest, but does not
allow such organizations to transcend
the bonds of public peace and de-
corum.

Foreign residents here have entire
faith in the ability of the government
TO maintain peace and protect life and
property. Leading foreigners regret
that such sensational reports have
been sent over the, United States as
causeless alarm has been the result to
the prejudice of many interests.
The Mexican authorities rdicule the
