 Mexican Herald: Lie. Carlos Trejo y Lerdo de Tejada, solicitor general of the republic, who has been entrusted with the drafting of a workingmen's bill, to be pres ented by the central government to the next congress, says that 1t is his intention to consult the lab. bring men direct and to get all first hand information possible. To that end he has issued an invita- ton to the labor unions to send committees of one or two persons to consult with him as to the needs of workmen and the guaranties the law should throw around them to protect them in their relations with their employers. It had been intended to present the measure before the close of congress, which adjourned yesterday but a press of other matters prevented the com- pletion of the work on the measure. Mir. Trejo y Lerdo de Teiada, in the effort to have the bill complet- ed before the close of congress, was given permission to abandon his work as solicitor general tempor- arily. The fact that he has not been at his office for several days gave rise to the rumor that he had resigned but this has been denied by the solicitor general who has resumed his regular office duties.

 Mexican Herald: Fly traps placed in the penitentiary of the Federal District, the Home for Medicants and the general hospital capture seventeen kilos of flies a day, according to a report which has been made to the minister of gobernacion. The plague of flies is thought to be due to the proximity of garbage dumps. The depart. ment of gobernscion has asked the board of public works to take ur the question, as the flies readily transmit disease and this danger increases when the plague of flies exists at institutions of the charac. ter mentioned.
