The exercises, which constituted what
probably will prove to have been the
most impressive feature of the Mexican
centenary celebration, were held at Cha

Diaz and the buildings of the National
Military Academy.
The members Of the cabinet and the
permanent and visiting diplomats were
present. The feature of the program was

national executive extolled the heroism
of the youthful soldiers who fought val
iantly to save the castle from the over

as shining examples for emulation by the
youth of the country.
Other speakers made patriotic addresses
and then President Diaz placed a wreath
at the base of the modest monument
erected to the memory of the cadets amid
the tall trees OF the castle grounds. The
ceremonies were concluded with the firing

CASH FOR LEGISLATORS
FORMERASSEMBLYMAN BEDELi
APPARENTLY FAVORED.
Evidence in Investigation That
Advanced Large Sums Furnished
by Street Railway Men.

NEW YORK, September S.-The bank
ing and stock specializing facilities given
to lawmakers by the brokerage firm of
Ellingwood Cunningham during the
period extending from April. 1900. to
February, 1905. were brought out with
startling vividness at today's hearing of
the legislative graft investigation.
Former Assemblyman Louis Bedell. who
during the period In question was chair
man Of the assembly committee on rail-
roads. was shown by the evidence to
have been apparently particularly ia
vored
The books OF Ellingwood & Cunningham
showed that while his stock operations
during the five years consisted solely in
the purchase Of 300 shares of New York
TRANSPORTATION stock. the money for this
stock. together with some $4,000 addi-
tionai. had been advanced by Ellingwood
Il Cunningham.
Most of these advances, IL later trans
pired, had, according to the testimony,
been made by III. III. Vreeland, president
of the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany: II. A. Robinson. general solicitor or
the company, and G. Tracy Rogers, presi-
dent of the New York State Street Rail-
way Association.
Between May 3, 1901, and August %,
1903, Mr.. Bedell was shown to have
drawn out I'm cash sums aggregating $21,-
80 placed to his credit by the three indi-
viduals named, and no evidence could be
found In the documents examined today
that he had at any time returned any

FOREIGN BANKERS DECIDE
FORM OF BILLS OF LADING
Plan Secret Until Full Conferences
Approves-Propose Ultimatum
Provokes Discussion.

LONDON. September s.-The committee
of foreign bankers reached a decision
today on the subject of American cotton
bills Of lading, but decided not to di-
vulge the plan until 1t had been sub
mitted and approved at full conference
Of bankers. to be held September IA.
There has been wide divergence of
opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
the original ultimatum, in which the
British and continental banking houses
demanded that American bankers. after
Octobef 81 next, guarantee all bills OF
lading on American cotton.
The DIRECTORS to the ultimatum contend
that this action constituted tacit ad-
mission that the bankers here would
assume a cerain amount Of liability for
the genuineness of the bills, a situation
which, the directors maintain. does not
exist. They point out that in the event
Of the American bankers refusing the
guarantee the English banks would find
themselves in an untenable position. as
England must have the cotton which the
United States holds.

The Money Kind Moved From Treas
ury to Printing Bureau.

The Treasury Department is transfer
ring its large stock of distinctive and non
distinctive paper from the storeroom In
the Treasury building to the bureau OF
engraving and printing, where 1t will
hereafter be stored in the three-story
brick building formerly occupied as the
good roads building of the Department
of Agriculture. The Treasury Depart
ment keeps in stock six months supply
of paper. which comprises approximately
4O,O0O,OOO sheets for the internal revenue
stamps, 100000 sheets for postage
stamps. 100000 sheets for checks and
q, OOO. 600 sheets for currency.
The new method Of handling the paper
will make several rooms vacant in the
Treasury building. They will be used in
the reassignment of the various bureaus
and divisions and in addition the services
of the counters and checkers will be dis
pensed with. The annual expense attach
ed to receiving, counting and storing the
distinctive paper has been $33. 139. This
reform has been contemplated for several
months, and any vacancies caused by
death or resignation have been reserved
in order that the fifty-one persons here
tofore employed In counting and checking
NAV be retained in the service. Twenty
three of these persons have been trans
ferred to the bureau Of engraving and
printing and other vacancies in the de-
partmept will be filled from those not yet
assigned.

DOUBT AS TO EFFECT
OF THE HAGUE DECISION
Probable That State Department
Will Call an American Agent for
His Own Opinion.

The State Department ofiicials are not
quite sure that they fully comprehend the
decision Of The Hague tribunal in the
fisheries case. and that Notwithstanding
the fact that Chandler Anderson. the
American agent at The Hague, was al
pains to cable overnight several thousand
words Of extracts from the decision This
did not include the reasoning upon which
the tribunal based its declarations. Con-
sequently several important points In the
case are still shrouded in doubt. It is
probable that Mr.. Anderson, having all OF
the documents before him, will be called
upon to inform the department OF what
in his own opinion. was the actual result
OF the arbitration.
For a time there was some apprehension
that the principles laid down by the ar
bitrators might be OF general application
That would be a matter Of serious con-
Germ II for no other reason than because
the application OF the "headland theory
of defining marine Jurisdiction would close
Hudson bay to all foreign shipping, in
GLIDING American, The conclusion has
been reached. however, that the decision
in this case applies solely to waters and
shores and bays expressly covered in the
treaty OF 1918.
