Uniform for Diaz.
Ell Paste, Tex, Sept. 30.--The uni
form that President Diaz will wear in
Ell Paso on the occasion of the much
heralded meeting with President Taft
was shipped through Ell Paso this
morning in bond, the heavy packing
case being addressed to the Mexican
president personally.
The uniform was made especially
for the International meeting by eel
ebrated firm in Europe and was ship
ped by way of New York, arriving here
in bond and will be sent to the presi-
dents palace on the Mexican Cen
tral Thursday morning.
The uniform is a gorgeous affair Of
heavy broadcloth with gold trimmings.
The strip known officially as Ell
Chamizal, containing about $50 acres,
lying between the present river and
the line of the Seventh street in the
southern portion of Ell Paso, will be
regarded as neutral territory, by spec
ial request of President Diaz, on Octo-
Der IS when the presidents meet.
Part of this land is in dispute be-
tween the two countries owing to a
difference of opinion as to whether
the river changed its position sudden
ly or gradually. The boundary com

tlement and the suggestion has hereto
fore been made that an arbitrator be
appointed.
The legal representatives of the
United States reached the conclusion
that the American case would be in
noWise injuriously affected by acceding
to the request of President DiaZ as a
matter of courtesy. Accordingly, all
official arrangements between the two
governments contemplate regarding
the strip, for the one day, as neutral
and neither will the troops of Mexico
or the United States enter this strip.
nor will the flags of either nation be
official displayed

This custom did not appear to make
much Of an impression outside Of Mr.:
Slster's immediate neighborhood until

learn about the celebration and wrote

was a similar celebration. Then the Gen.

a salute of 100 guns on every Mays.
This Is as far as the matter has gone

OF these days the whole Of Rhode Island
will observe the State holiday with Mar

her to engage permanently in this work
and aided by Quaker Abolitionists she
obtained money and food at various
places along her route.
As the slave owners had paid agents
in Philadelphia she decided to establish
her free slaves elsewhere and started a
settlement at Cape May. N. j.. in 1852.
This place was successfully managed by
her with the aid of Thomas Garrett, the
Quaker Abolitionist Of Wilmington. Del.

freedom in parties OF one to nine.

one of the chickens to escape and giving

BY way OF celebrating the Dred Scott
