NO DANGER OF
A REVOLUTION

Washington, Sept. 7-Ambassador
Thompson, declares that the reports
of bitter anti-American feeling ia
Mexico, and Of an organized revolu-
tion against the present government
under President Diaz, are false. He
renewed his request, made some time
ago, that, in compliance with the
wishes Of President Dlaz, this coun-
try should take steps to suppress the
Mexican revolutionary iunta, in ST..
Louis, which publishes in Spanish a
paper called Regeneration.
Ambassador Thompson says that
the troubles that have occurred re-
Gently in Mexico have been nothing
more tlian small labor riots, adding
that If there should be any local dis
lturbances they viii be handled right
IL by the Mexican government. Such
a thing as a general uprising is not to
} lie considered.

wednesdays C0IeyVllle journal
contains a column and a half account
Of the railroad meeting held there
Tuesday night for the purpose Of
taking steps to secure the building Of
Frisco line from Alton through
Centralia to Coffeyville. The meet
ing was attended by number Of the
citizens Of Centralia.
The Journal gives the following as
among the speeches made;
j. e. Lehman, Of Centralia, who
got up out Of sick bed to drive to
Coffeyville to attend this meeting,
stated that his town had waited pa
tiently for nearly a year for the
Coffeyville committee TO do some-
thing and now that the people down
there we're getting desperate for a
railroad and would hook up on any
combination but that they preferred
to work with Coffeyville and would
make one more effort to cooperate
with US. He said that they had a
corn crop down there this year of
10000 bushels and that this corn
would have to be hauled to CofTey-
vile and Vinita by wagon. II am
certain, said Mr. Lehman, that some
road is going to tap this rich and fer
tile country. Some action or purpose
is sure to lie behind all this talk and
these rumors. know that the Frisco
paid for the survey made by McClel-
land last year. We prefer the Frisco
and Coffeyville for the northeast ter
minal to any other proposition and
believe it the most feasible
Or. T. G. Frazier was in favor Of
organizing a company and getting a
right OF way clear to Alton. lie thought
that this step would make the rail-
roads sit up and take notice. If they
did not he was in favor Of going ahead
and building the road ourselves by
piecemeal, or so much as was necessary
In order to get railroad to take it of
our hands. He also favored asking the
cooperation of Independence and
other cities in this work. He thought
that a right-of-way would be more ac-
ceptable to railroad than a bonus.
Lehman thought we could get two
thirds Of the right-of-way for nothing.
A railroad committee was ap-
pointed consisting Of Captain e. A.
Rosser, J. /. Hill, G. NJ. Ball, =. G.
Kiddoo, /. r. McLuney and j. G. Hell
Ter, which will correspond with the
Frisco officials at once. Two other
plans for a road are under consider
alton, but the Journal does not state
what they are.
That Alton as we'll as CoiTeyvllle
and Centralia is interested in the
project appears from the following
letter, which was read at the Coifey-
vile meeting:
Alton, /, T., Sept. !, 1906,
