CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 2.-Secretary
Root and his party continued today to be
the recipients of the lavish hospitality
and bounteous attentions which have been
showered on them ever since their ar-
rival in the Republic.
Official and social Mexico is so bent
on showing their appreciation of the
visit of an American Cabinet minister,
and their friendly regard for Mr. Root
personally and the ladies accompanying
him, that the visitors have scarcely had
a moment to themselves since their ar-
rival. A continuous round of entertain-
ments has testified to them the high
place they have already won in tiie sym-
pathies of Mexico's highest society, and
they expressed themselves as delightfully
surprised with the spontaneous reception
and the exquisite good taste displayed in
every entertainment in their honor.
Garden Party Yesterday.
The culminating point of the program
which was gone through today was the.
garden party in tlie spacious grounds of
Chapultepec Castle.
Over five hundred invitations had been
issued to the garden party and the elite
of Mexican society, as well as scores of
the best families in the American and
other foreign colonies, turned out to do
honor to the distinguished quests. The
party commenced shortly after 5 o'clock.
Mr. Root and family spent this nam-
ing visiting places of historic or artistic
interest in tlie city, accompanied by
special escort.
The ladies in the pnrty were especially
delighted with their visit to th" his-
toric old cathedral containing1 mr-ny ex-
amples of the best -schools of Spanish
art.
The formal meeting of Mrs. Diaz and
Mrs. and Miss Root took place at an
informal ten garden by the first lady
of Mexico at her home on Galle Cadena
yesterday.
In replying to President Diaz, Secre-
tary Root said:
"Your excellency: I thank you most
sincerely for the kind and gracious words
which you have used regarding my poor
self, regarding my President from whom
I bring you and to the Mexican people
a message of deen and warm friendship
and good wishes and as to mv country
which I believe is fitly represented by
this visit of friendship, with the purpose,
not of creating, for iliey are already
( reated, but of increasing and advancing
the ideas of amity and mutual helpful-
ness between two great Republics.
"Mr. President. I have said that we
need not to create, hut wish to strengthen
the ties of friendship. It is my hope that
through more perfect understanding-
through personal intercourse—through
the more complete union of action will be
acquired by the by the industrial inter-
course of the men of Mexico and the
men of the United States, not only may
our friendship be increased, but our
power for usefulness —for that usefulness
which demonstrates the right of Nations
to be perpetuated—may be enlarged.
"For the generous hospitality, for tIn-
spirit of friendship with which you and
the people of Mexico have welcomed me
as representative of 'he United States.
I thank you arm them and I hope that
there may be found in this visit and this
welcome not merely the pleasure of a
policy but a step along the pathway of
two great Nations in their service to hu
inanity."

CONSUL TO INVESTIGATE.
TOKIO, Oct. 2.—Count Rata sura, ex-
Japanese Premier, and a member of the
military council of the Empire, in an
interview today on the subject of the
visit to Japan of Secretary of War Taft,
said :
"I am delighted that Mr. Taft's brief
visit has been made the occasion for an
indisputable demonstration of the friend-
ly relations between Japan and the United
States. Attempts have been made to
misrepresent the existing relations of
oth countries, but they are attributed
to the work of interested parties and are
hardly deserving of serious consideration.
"The whole situation was talked over
between Mr. Taft and myself two years
ago on the occasion of his last visit here.
A perfect understanding was then arrived
at between the authorities of both Gov-
ernments, and no change has since been
made therein. I firmly believe that noth-
ing can shake the foundation on w iich
the historical relations of both Nations
are built. There is nothing more absurd
than the theory of war between the
United States and Japan, and Mr. Taft
has now, by his great speech, so widely
reported, put an indelible seal on the cor-
dial relations and perfect understanding
existing between both countries. Should
a suspicion have existed in the minds of
some people of strained relations between
Japan and the United States his eloquent
utterances ought to have completely dis-
pelled it and inspired reassurance.''

GENERALTCORBIN A CANDIDATE.
A Seat in Congress From Ohio Would
Please the Retired Warrior.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Having a ca-

Gen. Hei.iy C. Corbin wants to get Into
politics. Ho would like to run for Con-
gress In the sixth Ohio district and is
frank enough to tell his friends of his
ambition. The Kepublicans or that dis-
trict are now involved In a. quarrel and
Corbin is willing to serve as a compro-
mise candidate. General Corbin ' '1 s
come out with a brief statement of his
position in the Tatt-f'oraker Ciltterenc1
and other, matters of local and National
importance. He says:
"The Sixth Congressional District has
been unfortunate ill its political dissen-
sions. It ought to be represented In Con-
gress by a Republican and if the Repub-
licans believe my nomination would have
the ettect ot obliterating raclionism 1
would place n.yself at their service. 1
am not eager to enter politics, but if I
should be nominated I feel confident I
would be elicted.
"Since the suggestion was made that I
become a candidate for Congress the
question has been raised whether I
would be for or against Senator Foraker
or tor or against Secretary Taft. I
would be against neither the Senator
nor the Secretary. Both men are my
personal Iriends and I have no desire#to
become antagonistic to one in order to
win th,; tavor of the other. If I were
nominated tor Congress 1 would cxpect
to pay the expenses of my own cam-
1 aign.
GUARDS ON THE DOCKS.
Strike of the Longshoremen at New
Orleans Spreads Slowly.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 2—One
hundred special guards went on duty at
the Stuyvesant docks of the Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad today In anticipation of
the threatened levee strike involving SOOO
to 10,000 laborers.
The strike extended slowly today, two
crews of longshoremen quitting on steam-
ers whose crews were set to unloading.
Between 1000 and 2000 men have now
formally struck, while hundreds of others
ate idle and waiting only to be ordered
to join the strike.
RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 2,-Th« forty-
fifth triennial general conventtBh of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the Uni-
ted States opened today. Of the 110
members of Ihe House of Bishops only
ten were absent and the attendance of
clerical and lay members of the Housa
of Deputies was nearly complete.
A large number of roreign high church
dignitaries were present, including tho
Archbishop of the West Indies and tho
Bishops of London. St. Albans, Mont-
gomery, Niagara, Quebec, Ontario and
McKenzie River.
The business of the two houses was
confined to organization and both bodies
re-elected all of their officers bv accla-
mation.
Right Rev. A. F. "Wlnnlngton-Ingram,
Bishop of London preached the sermon
at the celebration of the Holy Commu-
nion 111 the Holy Trinity Church, this be-
ing the opening ceremony.
A warm welcome was given to the vis-
iting churchmen The business section
of the City is decorated with flags and
bunting and is by night brilliant, with
electric display.
Bishop I.ondon, who reached here yes-
terday and went to the residence of
Bishop Gibson of the Diocese of Virginia,
spent the entire afternoon on the golf
links, where he made many friends.
The lay delegates to the convention
number many well known business m.-n
from every section of the country and
several of them have taken houses for
the three weeks session. Notable among
these J. Pierpont Morn,in, the New York
financier, who occupies the Rutherford
Mansion.
Of all the questions pending In the con-
vention that creating negro bishops is
causing the most heat 'd advance discus-
sion. There is a. large fiction in the
convention which advocates the closing
of the negro mlhslons ind schools and
allowing the negro 'communicants to dl.»
out or scatter to other bodies. Another
faction openly advocates the creation or
nSftro bishops to serve over the negro
churches and still another faction would
consecrate negro suffrage bishop3 to
serve under the direction of white bishop
of the diocese. Still another plan Is to
give the negroes three bishops and let
them erect an autonomius church.
The reopening of th < discussion on the
remarrying of divorced persons Is an Im-
portant feature of the business program."
Bishop Ingram's Sermon.
Bishop Ingram, in tho course of his
sermon, said:
"First, undoubtedly the future can
only belong to a church which believes
and preaches the far-reaching, energiz-
ing and active love of God. God forbid
that I should deny the difficulties which
surround a belief iu the love of God,
or ignore the stern side of the new tes-
tament. but no church will save the world
and especially the thousands of millions
who have not yet hail a chance of mak-
ing up their minds as to the truth of
Christianity except a church that be-
lieves and proclaims and lives out tho
love of God to every child that he has
made.
"And with the gospel of the love of
God must go what we call in England
the message of a fri^e salvation. It may
be that in the past we may have al-
lowed a legalizing spirit to creep over
the church, but today, high church, low
church vie In England to preach a gos-
pel of a free salvation—that the eternal
Son of God came Into this world and
gave himself for his brothers: that the
Christian religion does not consist in a
belief In ;i good man named Jesus Christ
dying on the cross, but consists in a be-
lief in the sacrifie of God himself.
Worldliness the Great Danger.
