Italy's seizure of TripOli combined
with the we'll known aspirations of the
Italian nationalists to unite the Italian
speaking portions of Switzerland with
the Roman kingdom is causing, say
these dispatches, much discussion of
the possibility that the little mountain
republic may be a future object of the
aggression of its southern neighbor.
Since the outbreak of the Tripolitan
war various Swiss papers have pointed
out the significance for Switzerland of
this unexpected launching of hostili-
ties and the seizure of a coveted prov

necessity of neglecting no steps toI

The wine makes on the Rhine and
MOselle have just gathered their
grapes with unusual demonstrations Of
satisfaction with the years crop. When
the church bells tolled in hundreds OF
villages to announce the beginning of
the grape-picking they awakened
memories Of the good old days of some
ten years or more back, before the
vineyards We're damaged by phylloX
era, worms and other pests; for this
year the hot weather and the long
cloudless days were death to the in
sects, but caused the vines to bear
grapes of a sweetness almost without
parallel
And the quantity harvested was
somewhat more than a half-crOp,
which is regarded as a very good re-
suit in view of the continued failures
of recent years. Owing to these fail
ures grapes and grape juice are bring
ing extraordinarily high prices now.
The best grapes are bringing as much
as As cents per pound. and grape juice
for wine-making is sold at from col
cents to one dollar a gallon. The best
juice at Bingen brought s2.45 a gallon |
These are reported to be the highest +!

frontiers of Austria, Italy and Switz-

pass has hitherto been considered
amply defe nded by the fact that the

eight miles across a narrow point OF

construction by Italy of n fortified

of a fort upon Monte Opa. both near
the Italian end Of the pass. and the ex-
tension of the Italian railroad to Bor-

Five Hundred Prosperous Look
ing Delegates Assembled
in Mexico City.

Mexico City. Sept. 10.-Deegates TO the
Reyes convention in all probability VIII
Join this week in the petition TO Congress
for a postponement OF the elections TINS
was the opinion frequently expressed IN
the Hobbies In the hall where the initial
session of the convention was held to-day.
That Congress may grant the request Is
not improbable. since majority OF that
body are men who were ramed during the
Dlaz regime and are inclined to agree that
the nations affairs are yet too turbulent
to permit OF an impartial vote If new
date is fixed, however, it will. of course. be
against the vigorous protest of the Nader
lists, who realize the danger of giving their
political enemies more time.
Some five hundred delegates are here
and a few more are en- route. The number
is not so large as that which made up the
Madero convention. but practically all the
men appear to he from the more prosper
Gus classes.
Awed perhaps by the number of mount
ed police on the streets, and especially In
the street in front Of the convention hall,
the rowdy element permitted itself bat
one short outburst to-day. Shortly before
noon crowd of manifestants appeared in
San Francisco street. Bearing Maderist
banners. they began a parade along that
thoroughfare. but mounted police number

ANXIETY IN LISBON
Government Agents Report Tells
of Imminent Invasion.

Lisbon via the frontier. Sept 10-With
p desire to know the exact strength Of the
positions and the intentions Of the royal
lists. the government recently sent Luz d'Al-
media chief of the Carbonarios. a secret
political society, TO the frontier TO make a
thorough investigation. 4 report from this
official has Just been received. He says
that the royalists now concentrated in the
neiChborhood Of Orense are slowly prepar-
ing to advance They number from four
thousand to five thousand. comprising in
fantry. cavalry and artillery They have
about forty pieces of artillery. for the most
part quick-fring guns They also have two
aeroplanes. which are constantly flying
over the camps of the soldiers Of the re-
public. especially at Chaves, and the troops
and the inhabitants are in constant fear
that the airmen may drop bombs.
The delay in the attack is due 70 the
monarchists' lack Of funds, says the Car
bonario chief but they are expecting the
arrival from Brazil and England within a
few days of money to the amount Of $500
COO
D'Almeida is Of the opinion that unless
something extraordinary happens the in
vasion will take place within a week. The
monarchsts count on part Of the repub-
lican troops going over to them as soon as
hostlites are opened, but according TO the
best reports this seems TO be a miscalcula-
ton, for apparently the whole 22,Clo repub-
lican troops lining the frontier are loyal TO
the new regime and intend to Kill without
quarter.
There is no doubt, however that a great
part Of the population Of the north will rise
in support OF the rOyarsts. The whole
country is awaiting results with anxious
expectation.
A serious conspiracy has been discovered
in the Lisbon state prison. In the last few
davs the sentries have noticed that visitors
10 the eight hundred royalists incarcerated
IN this prison invariably carried packages.
Yesterday a search was made, and 1t was
discovered that the royalist prisoners, the
chief of whom is a priest. Figueiredo, were
armed with revolyers. II was ascertained
also that the prisoners intended to murder
the guards as soon as the mOnarchists in
the north entered Portugal and start a
revolution IN the capital The prisoners
have been relieved OF their weapons and
the guards have been considerably strength
