DIAz INTERESTED.

Douglas, Arizona, Dec. 6.-The sur prising information is received that Diaz himself has given a written or der to Governor Sanchez of of Chihua- hua, authorizing him to support the commission sent to treat with the reb- els
 Attorney Jesus Maria Gandara of Chihuahua, in an interview with Diaz in Mexico City. explained the situa- ton in Chihuahua. DiaZ gave Gan dara a letter to Sanchez. giving his moral support to the peace commission idea.
 Gandara returned to Chihuahua with the letter in which Eduardo Con- gales is also mentioned. because he preached the plan to Gandara before the latter's departure for Mexico City. Sanchez is heading the commission, according to this information, with Gandara and Gonzales following. Serv- ing also are pr. Lewis de la GarZa, Attorney Leonardo MunoZ Salas. Ava limo Gonzales, Carlos Gandara and N. Reyes.
 An odd situation occurred when the special train bearing this commission arrived outside of the town of Guer- rero and found the rebels attacking the place The mission of the com mission was stated to the rebel lead CT, who very cOurteously replied. Please excuse me until we finish this job. The train was held while the attack proceeded and later the rebels again asked extension of time. Then came the notice of the arrival of the federal troops. following which the peace commissions special conference was ended.
 The arrival in Chihuahua of General Juan A Hernandez, commanding the federal troops, was of more than pass ing interest Hernandez led a cam paign against the Yaqui Indians un- der Chief Cajame. at Anil Indian camp, where they were fortified un- der the direction of a French priest. Here 3 900 Indians routed Hernandez army of $2,O0O men. Later Cajeme surrendered. making offers of peace, and left with Martinez to give up his tribe, but was killed on the way
 Hernandez married Mercedes Guere- no of AIamos, reported at one time to be the fiance of Vice-President Cor ral, then governor of Sonora.

CHIHUAHUA REPORTS

Chihuahua Dec 6.-J. C. Shepard. a mining agent, who has lived all his life in this state, left this morning accompanied by two armed guides. conveying specie for the payment of wages to miners at BustillOS. Friends informed him it would be unwise to attempt to take the money to the mines. Shephard stated that he felt no fear of the revolutionists. but a number of bandits had enrolled them selves under the insurrectos' banner and from them he expected no mercy.
 Passengers arriving from the west tonight confirm the stories of the in surrectOs' strength. Maderos strength is unknown, but the influx of arms and ammunition continues. The trav- elers pretend not 10 know the senti- ment in other parts of the country. but every bit of bipartisan testimony this week shows that the revolution in this state is of unusual proportions and big money is behind it.
 So far there have been three en- counters in this state. The fight here last Sunday may be called a draw. but at San Andreas three weeks ago and Pandernalles last week the insur- rectos were undoubtedly the victOrs.

STORIES ABOUT REBELS.

Douglas, AriZ-, Dec. 6.-A banu or rebels two days ago visited ranch near Madeira owned by an American whose brother is here, and took 11O horses. They gave the proprietor a receipt payable on presentation to the minister of war for Madero. They would not tell where the Ma deroists are camped. Two cattle buy CTS coming out of Mexico today say the rebels have held up several Amer jeans and taken their cartridges, leaV- ing guns and pistols. treating them courteously and explaining that the rebels have plenty of guns. but want high power cartridges. They never rob them of money.
 Americans here who live half the time in Sonora or Chihuahua say it is unnecessary and unwise to ask the Mexican government for arms. as this is liable to draw the fire of the rebels on the towns and mining camps oth- erwise unmolested. Word was passed from the rebels for the Americans to remain strictly neutral, and not join the volunteer forces organized to de- fend the towns.
 The loyalists in Culiucan, Sonora, have called the attention of the gov ernment to the great quantities or cartridges selling in that city, 1t be- ing said that some orders are for as many as a thousand at one consign- ment. which it is believed are being bought for other districts. as pas sengers tonight from Hermosillo and Guaymas. both in Sonora. report tran Quillity in those cities.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The activity of the self appointed peace committee. which has been endeavoring to reach a basis of settlement of the revolu- tionary movement in Mexico is appar- ently highly displeasing to the Mex ican government. A sign of this re- sentiment is in the receipt by the Mex jean embassy today of a cablegram from Greet, minister for foreign af- fairs, denying that the government had anything to do with the appoint ment of such a commission. The minister says Diaz has not appointed peace commission.

When Ambergris Was Eaten.
From the Boston Transcript.


Ambergris is SO scarce and so high
that the wonder is that an ambergris
trust was not organized long ago.
There is, or there was quite recently,
an "ambergris king resident in Massa
chusetts. SO perhaps the application of
organization and capital to the search
for whales which are Or may be sur
feited with a diet of squids may not be
far off. An article which frequently
brings 5000 a pound, and has been
known to touch more than double that
amount for particularly choice speci-
mems, is surely worth systematic atten-
ton of millionaires with nautical ten
denotes. Sometimes it is found floating
on rivers by lucky individuals, and often
the dissection of the slaughtered whale
reveals ambergris, to the Joy of every
man on board the whale ship. Its COM
mercial value today is only to per-
tuners as the basis of delicate scents,
the subtle alchemy Of nature convert
ing the evidence of cetacean indiges-
ton into something rich and rare.
Time was when apothecaries thought
ambergris possessed medical properties.
but that belief has gone by The cooks
of 200 years ago used ambergris in
their CONNECTIONS for the tables of the
great. Rumor in 1855 said that the
cause of Charles lis sudden and fatal
illness was his fondness for eggs and
ambergris, dish of which he had
eaten not wisely, but too much. Sus-
picion limited that with the ambergris
poison had been mingled. Such cult
nary compound has nauseating sugges-
ton to modern stomachs, but other
times other sensibilities. and there are
many dishes on the current bill of fare
that would not be appetizing if seen in
the rough.

first degree late this afternoon. after be-

will be sentenced to death in the super
ior court by Judge Council Monday morn

The crime for which Allison was con-
victed was one of the most revolving in
the history of this county. According to
the evidence adduced at the trial, he crept
on his victim without warning and shot
him in the back four times. After Nc
Ghee fell Allison seized a heavy black
smiths hammer and crushed out the
dead mans brains with repeated blows.
At the time Of the tragedy public feel

own request he was lodged in the coun-

A. A. ATTENDANCE POOR.
Minneapolis and St. Paul Have
Proven Best Cities in Circuit.

MILWAUKEE, August 6.-An inves-
| tfgation of the attendance at the Ameri-
can Association games this year will show
That the recent talk of expansion by the
| organization to include Chicago, Pitts
! burg and Detroit, and drop Kansas City
and the Twin Cities minneapolis and ST.
| PauD, is rot. These three cities have been
| the only ones in the league to draw any
kind of crowds, and should they be drop
| ped the finances certainly would be in bad
shape.
| President Chivington of the association,
while here yesterday. said that the at
| tendance this year will easily be as large
as that of last season, but this must be
taken with grain of salt. as the figures
will hardly show this to be the case.
Minneapolis and ST Paul have been draw
ing excellent crowds, especially in their
intercity matches, and this has also been
assisted by the fact that the two teams
have been fighting for the lead all the
time. At Kansas City the attendance
has been satisfactory. but in the other
five cities it is way below the average.
In Milwaukee the management will be
lucky to just about split even. Owner
Havenor has an expensive team on his
nothing to brag about There have been
several big Sunday crowds, but these do
not nearly come up to the attendance
of last year. According to the news
paper men who have been here from
Toledo, Indianapolis and Columbus, the
teams in those cities are drawing poorly
and Louisville also is way below the
average.
President Chivington states that the
attendance at Kansas City and at the in
tercity matches at the Twin cities, will
bring the average up to about the usual
standard, but that this is not the case is
shown by the fact that expenses are
being cut down wherever it is possible,
and this ought to be a good indication.
While here, President ChivinGton said
that he had several applications for the
position left vacant by the resignation OF
Umpire Guthrie. but he will not appoint
a successor for a short time. Jake Beck
ley, formerly with Kansas City, is an
applicant and is receiving favorable rec

DANGER PLACES IN A STORM.
Peril of a Crowd-Lightning and
Hedges or Iron Fences.
From T. P.'s Weekly.

FROM L. rs Weekly.
What is the safest place in thunder
storm? AS a rule the safest place of all
is inside a building which is provided
with perfect lightning conductor. The
conductor, however, must have no defects.
If it be broken or have faulty earth
connection it is then a source of grave
danger.
In an ordinary dwelling house. unguard-
ed as it usually is against lightning, a
safe place is the middle of the largest
room, where one is away from the walls.
or still safer precaution is to lie on an
iron bed drawn out from contact with the
wall.
The most dangerous places In the house,
we are further told, are near the Dell
wires. or an open window, or the fire.
place. Outside the house the places OF
danger are proximity to walls and build
lngs and iron fences. Another danger is
crowd. The vapor which rises from a
crowd tends to lead flash toward the
crowd. In the open country one or the
most dangerous places Is the bank or a
river. Avenues of trees, lakes and hedges
are likewise dangerous.
II any one doubts the danger of haw-
thorn hedge let him take his stand at a
safe distance during a respectable storm

In contrast to these bacchanalian revel-
ers of the supernatural understanding
one in their silent drinking bout Of tina,
similar goblin company encountered by
Rip Van Wrinkle in the Catskill noun
tains-was a little party of the gnomes
in an adjoining cave, dressed in somber
black, who gravely saluted the figure Of
Death with scythe and hourglaSS as ii
emerged from a separate compartment
Then there were other groups of gnomeS
engaged in different industries, such as
Shoemaking, a trade consecrated from
time immemorial in various countries to
the fairies.
Upon the striking of the clock the lit
tie figures would bend momentarily in
dustriously to their respective tasks,
while as the last stroke sounded they left
off as suddenly as a mortal worker upon
the blowing of the monday whistle. But
unlike the latter, they remained fixed and
immovable until the passing of another
hour was proclaimed by the deep bell of
the clock.
The spectacle Of this clock, with it's
curious automata, suggested the fact that
such productions are as rare in this coun-
try as they are comparatively common in
some sections of Europe. The model
maker explained that the work was that
of his father, and observed:
1T was a great hobby of his. such au-
tomato. But in this country-no, we are
too practical, too go-ahead.
Sometimes, yes" he continued, you
will see such things exhibited about the
country in museums. But now 1T Is NOV

want. Lots of persons will recall the eX-
hibit in this way of so-called great

wonderful original. Some time perhaps in
this city we will have clock with auto
mata that will astonish the people. Who

Washington Weather Facts.

:THE hottest day that Washington
ever saw" said the weather bu-
reau man, shoveling elbow deep into a
pile of ancient records, was September
q, 1881 Our official thermometer then
stood at 1O4 degrees, which would make
1t at the Pennsylvania avenue kiosk, If
there had been any kiosk then about 40
degrees. 1t was a clear day.. but the
atmosphere was filled with smoky haze
one of these close, muggy days, when
you see a man push through swing
door wiping his forehead and emerge a
few minutes later wiping his lips. 1t
was day, too, when soda fountains had
that hunted look.
THE coolest day we ever had" he con-
tinued. as he pushed a low barometric
area across the map from ST. Paul to
Kalamazoo, was February IL, 1899.
About noon the mercury got down to 10
degrees below zero And right in the
middle of it came the worst blizzard we
ever knew here. The little disturbance
last inauguration day was picnic weather
compared to it. Late on the evening of
the 11th it commenced to blow and snow.
For two solid days it blew and it snew.'
The trouble commenced on a Saturday
night. By noon Monday the wind had at
tanned a velocity of forty-eight miles an
hour and the snow had drifted in places
uISner tnan q mans head.
Meantime the mercury had risen
but only two degrees 1 think the CEN
ter OF that storm was in my front
yard upon on Columbia Heights, for when
| got through shoveling snow from
the path on Tuesday morning and
broke off the lcicleS of frozen sweat
from my brow, 1 couldn't see out on
either side of me. The snow drifted
too much to accurately gauge its mean
hepth. so we merely made an entry that
was deep enough: The trouble was
caused by rowdy bunch of low baro-
metric areas that had been spending a
few days down in Florida. and by all
the rules of weather should have
moved out to sea; instead Of that, they
moved up to Washington, sat down
here and 'Sundayed' with us.
Our wettest day was July 80, 1873,
when 1t rained five and four-fifths inches
deep 1t was the parting shot from a
series of summer thunder storms that
Our average rainfall here is forty four
inches a year. SO we got in twenty-four
hours rain enough to have lasted us
for a whole month.
