Madrid, Oct fs. The municipal

during which recent political evahts
were discussed with such bitterness
that the Republican and Socialist al
dermen withdrew from the meeting.
The Socialist member, Senior Igles-

against the putting to death OF Fer
rer and when the president of the
council tried TO silence him. he
shouted:

Friends Say He was Victim
Of Political Intrigue
Crane Has Not Told Real
Reason.

OBEYING ORDERS
lie 'Ict Then Have 1t Hot
And Lost His
job.

Washington, october 16.-Whilo
Charles r. Crane. who was appointed
Minister TO China and who was re-
called just as he was about TO sail
for his post, declined yesterday to
reveal what his friends declared are
the real reasons for his retirement.
one o these friends. however Walter
-. Fisher, of Chicago, Intimated
strongly that the incident was far
from closed and that revelations
which would be made i'm due time
would show Mr.. Crane to have been
the victim Of political intrigue.
I'm the long ride across the con-
tinent to Washington, said Mr..
Fisher, Mr.. Crane did not mention
the reason for his recall lie could
not, rs he did not know that the Of
Tending newspaper article had been
published and did not see 1t until the
day after he reached Washington.
' ''''TN' ''''iNN VI lHt dINlCle may
be judged from the act that was not
suspected o being the cause until
the tip was given in Washington. It
was not until after It's connection
with Mr.. Cranes recall leaked out
IN Washington that the Japanese en-
bassy sent to the newspaper office
for a copy OF the article
Mr., Fisher said 1t was due TO Mr..
Crane also to note that in carrying
out the Presidents wishes that ne
should do some vigorous public
speaking and in the absence OF in
structions from the state Depart-
ment Mr.. Crane carefully confined
himself TO the lines laid down by
Mr. Tart himself in the famous Snanp
hal speech ringing with vigorous
Amerlcanism and so definitely friend
~ to the Chinese that it ended all
talk OF the dismemberment OF China.
"hen he let the have Il hot" Mr..
Crane talked only on the common I'm
terests OF America and China and
ne received no criticism from the
Department OF state.

THE INTER N ATIONAL
BRIDGE.
Mckinley Arranged to Meet
Diaz But Ill Health
Prevented.

HI PaSo, Tex, Oct. To-
Exactly at II a. m. today
President Taft of the United
sStates and President Diaz
of Mexico clasped hands on
the international Bridge,
and Immediately President
Taft went across the bridge
which spans the Rio Grande
into Cincuad Juarez where
President Diaz greeted him.
President Diaz later re
turned the visit coming
across to FL PasO.
With President Taft were
General j. Franklin Bell, u.
S. A., Secy. NageI, and Post
master General Hitchcock.
Many Mexican officers ac-
companied President Diaz.
No disorder or outbreak
took place as reports had
anticipated. The meeting OF
the two executives will go
down In history.
Today Pres. William II. TAFT o.
President william Howard Taft OF
the United states set foot upon the
International Bridge, which. spand-
ing the Rio Grande, links the from
tier cities of FL Paso, Texas, and
Cludad Juarez, Mexico, the most i'm
pottant meeting yet held between
the eecutives of two great New
World nations was effected.
Awaiting the head of the Yankee
republic in the center OF the ctruc
ture was President Porforio Diez
or Mexico who had journeyed |
from the distant csJital OF the south |
ern republic especially to greet Mr.
Taft.
The scene of the unusual re-
union is one to attract the interest |
Of the people OF both countries, by |
reason not only or the distinguish |
ed character o the two principals. |
but of the remarkable contrast pre- |
sc ted by the committee at either |
end of the international Bridge-the !
one typically American, with but a
suggestion of the frotier locally |
wherein it is situated, the otler char |
acteristically Mexican, or I.atin-Amer
lean.
The International Bridge is a din
gy. low-lying trestle 1t little more |
than serves the purpose of connect
ing the two shores Of stream,
which. at this time Of the year, is
more creek than a river, which
present. few beauties Of water or
bank, and which suggests the most
unprepossessing natural features Of
those parts OF both the United States
and Mexico contiguous to the from
tier.
A bleached and sickly grass Of
coarse fibre covers the land approach
TO each end and this surface extends
to within few feet OF the centre. |
where the Rio Grandc flows con-
nantly but fin slight volume. ON It's
way from the Rockies to the gulf. !
so that the bridge passes almost en-
tirely over dry ground.
El Paso lies at an elevation of g.
$50 feet; has a population Of 4O,-
600. distributed over a considerable
area and in IT'S architectural make
mp combines the spaciousnsss and
comfort of the small interior cities
Of the united states with a certain
