Mexican Rurales.

The corps OF Mexican rurales was
created in the time Of President
Benito Juarez. The law which ere
ated the rurales fixed the number OF
seven battalions of 1875 men each and
a company to be located at Mata'
moros. The pay of each Of the rural
police was fixed at SLIP per day. each
to furnish his horse and equipment
with no classification as to the char
acter Of the mount or the arms which
each man was to bear. AS a result

lars with some five per cent. wearing
the uniform of the cavalry of that
day. Each battalion was divided into
two companies, one of seventy and
the other Of sixty-five men. Their

Toulon. France, Sept 26.-An off-
cial statement today. giving the ca
sualties in the loss OF the Liberte,
places the dead at 235 and the in
jured at SS. with one man missing.
A thin ships company was drawn
up on the deck Of the battleship SUI.
fren this morning to answer to the
roll call of the crew of the ill-fated
Liberte, which was destroyed by an
explosion and fire "a hours earlier.
The survivors of the disaster, with
the exception Of those in the hospital,
are temporarily quartered on the sis
ter ship. When the name OF an abb
sent one was called some one of his
comrades responded dead" "hospi-
tailed" or missing"
During the night, fifty bodies were
recovered and eight wounded men
were rescued from that part of the
vessel that remained exposed when
the hull sank. These men had been
pinned in the ruins from 16 to 26
hours. Most Of them were insensible
from pain.
Lieutenant Aubert, son of Vice Adj
miral Aubert, commander of the
fleet, described the admirable disci-
pline on board the Liberte. The lieu
tenant, who is serving on another
warship, was sent with a party to
help extinguish the fire on the Liber-
te. He found Senior Lieutenant Gar
nier in command of the imperi1ed
battleship in the absence of Captain
Jaures, and the second officers, both
of whom were ashore. A petty Off
Ger approached the lieutenant and
said:
"The fire, sir, is near the maga-
zines. Insn't there danger of an ex
plosion?"
ATTEND to your orders" Lieutenant
GARNER replied.
The petty officer saluted and, with
out further question, returned to his
post.
Lieutenant GARNER perished in the
destruction of his ship.
Captain Jaures visited the wreck
this morning and then spent the rest
of the day at the bedside Of the
wounded sailors. A number Of these
continue unconscious due probably to
the fumes of burning powder which
they inhaled. They may never re-
cover their senses.

UNITED STATES STEEL

PROBABLE LITIGATION NOT AF-
FECTING AMOUNT OF ORDERS
FOR QUICK DELIVERY.

New York, Sept. 26.-Judge Gary
chairman of the United States Steel
corporation, following meeting of
the directors and finance committee
of the corporations this afternoon,
issued the following statement:
Existing conditions are affecting
business to the extent that, instead
of contract bookings for forward de-
livery, customers are buying only for
immediate shfpment.l Nevertheless,
strange as it may seem, the volume
of prompt business is larger than
usual, specifications running upward
of 10000 tons per day.
"Of the 4,500,000 tons on the books,
of which 100000 tons is inter-com-
pany business, it may be said, from
the standpoint of mill operations, it
| is better business than an old time
contract order book of double ton
mage, inasmuch as ii represents act
i've business capable of specifications
in sufficient volume as required TO
operate our mills on the present ba-
sis for some months to come.
The statement was read at the
board meeting today.

Davenport, Ia, Sept. 26.-The In
ternational Association of Machinists
at a joint session today with the
heads of allied trades, voted to leave
action on the proposed strike on the
Hartman lines to the executive Off
GERS with full power 10 act. Whether
the federation of shop employees on
the lines strike for recognition,
therefore, is up to President O'Con-
mel and his officers.
This action is taken as victory for
O'ConnelI, who referred the matter
to the convention, refusing to act
until authorized to do so. A faction
of the association, dominated, it is
said, by socialists, mas been trying
to take action in the matter from the
hands of the president.

POLITICS

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-New and
untried election machinery was SET
in motion at a non-partisan primary
election here today for the selection
of full complement of municipal Of
ficials, and for the first time in San
Francisco's history, neither party
names nor insignia have a place on
the ballots. In the event of a candi-
date receiving majority vote he will
be declared elected without having to
participate in the general election to
fellow. The contest for the mayoral-
ty outweighs all other issues.
There are but two prominent can
6idates, Jas. Rolph, Jr., and P. H.
Mccarthy, the present incumbent. Os-
tensibly at least, Mayor McCarthy's
ambitions to succeed himself is back
ed by the Union Labor party, which
placed him in office two years ago,
while Rolph has the support of bogh
republican and democratic parties.
There are no direct issues involved.
Rolph is newcomer to political
life. He is merchant of large local
interests and has never before sought
public office, though he has long been
active in civic affairs.
Mccarthy has risen from the ranks
Of labor to the leadership of the Labor
Council.
