declaration of independence and the
atraata ware thronged with people.
Tha attaok on tha president waa made
juat before the graat mllUarg parade
started.
Rumors of various kinds soon flaw
around along tha orowd and tha axolte
mant was tntaoaa. Juat before tba re-
view Preaidant Diaz, In oompang with
tha minister of war, waa paaalog
through tha pnbllo park. Theg war*
quietly walking together whan and-
danlg a foralgnsr sprang from behind
a bueh with polgnard lnjhand and mada
a lungs with tha weapon at tha presi-
dent. The minister of war Instantly
seized the assailant and strngglad with
him, throwing him to tha groand and
holding him there.
Meanwhile tha straggle had attraoted
attention and a number of polios oama
running to the soans, and plaoad tha
wonld-ba aaaaaaln nndar arraat. Ha la
supposed to ba an Italian named Ig
naolo Anulfo, but sullenly rafuaad to
divulge hlsobjtotln making tba at

The attampt on the Ufa of tha preal
dent aroused tha utmost Indignation,
and after tha attaok, and whan It was
laarnad that the president waa in no

Ig ohaarad aa ha passed on hla wag.
President Diaz was oalm during tba

dle aged man with long, dark hair
and a prominent nose. Ha looks
something Ilka an Italian. Tha attaok
mag ba tha reaaltof the reosnt propa-
ganda hare against all form* of anar

Tha oertmonles ware not Intarfarad
with and tha parade atartad on time
and waa reviewed bg tha praaldant, aa

Whan h* left tha ball a man ap-
proached to addrass him but waa Im-
mediately arrested by gendarmes.
DIAZ’S MESSAGE^
have ao Influenced tha eoonomlo situ-
ation of tha oo an try that It la demand-
ing tha aarlona attention of govern-
ment and haa oaused tha adoption of
strong measures of prudence, all ex-
penses not absolutely necessary being
deferred or raduood. Tba magnitude
and auddan oberaoter of tha present
perturbation Id ailvar certainly do not
correspond to known oansaa which
have produoad It, and, therefore, thara
are wall fonodad motives for expecting
that the faotora, more or less artificial,
whloh mag have had an tnfiaenoe In
the decline of silver, will be of short
duration and mag even soon bring
about a favorable reaction, Thara la
not, therefore, for tha present any aerl-
ous reason for alarm. Tha nation will
ba able to pass through thla dlffloull pa
rlod confronting It with tha asms
aeranltg whloh It displayed a taw gears
ago whan almilar causes produoad
alarm."
Thla portion of hla masaaga attraoted
graat attention and waa favorably re
oalvad. In oonoliielon tha praaldant
assured oongrasa thara was every rea-
son for congratulation on the state of
tha oountrg,
A CHANCE FOR SILVER.
Every Man in America
would have hla olothaa
mada to measure if ba fully realized
how muoh more oomfort, more style
and more money'* worth ho gets when
he bugs hla garments that wag. It
Isn’t odd that a man who haa onoe
worn a mada to measure anlt hardly
ever goes back to a ready mada.

nounoed fraudulent end went on to
oonatder the qaeatloo of tha proposed

many millions of dollars and have lost
a large number of Inhabitants on eo-
oouot of frequent Inundations from
the Rio Grand* and the us* of the
water of the river for Irrigation pur-
poses on land In tha United States,
whloh ha* greatly reduoed the volume
of water. In order to remedy as far
as possible thee* evils a graat Interna-
tional reservoir has been planned and
negotiations opanad at Washington bg

government of the Uoltsd States,
overcoming the difficulties raised bg
■peculators, will oonolude e treaty with
Mexloo for the elocution of this work,

Referring to the question of silver as
afleollng the finances of Mexloo the

London, Sept. 16—At the semi-an-
nual meeting of the Bank of England
today Governor HaghG. Smith said:
"You arejprobably aware of proposals
laid before tba eovernmant by tha

oountrg might inoreae* its use of silver
as s',contribution tolntarnattonal agree-
ment whloh, while not affaotlng one
gold standard, might enable tha mints
of Franoa and America to raauma free
coinage. Among tha proposals waa
one aaklng the benkto hold the amount
of silver permissible under the eot of
1841 ea against its notes."
The governor thea read a letter ad
draeied to the ohanoellor of the ex
ohequer, Sir Mlohaal Hicks Beach. I*
was as follows:
"Referring to onr conversation we
beg to aag the bank U prepared to
oarry out what is laid down as permls
slble In the bank oharter, viz: To
held one-fifth of Its not* issue in sll
vsr, provided always that tha Franoh
mint la again opanad to the free coin-
age of silver and that the prlo* at
whloh silver la procurable and salable
are aatlafeotory.
Replying to questions tba governor
said tha bank had no negotiations with
tha United States monetary oomrnls
•Ion, adding: “Wa have bought no
•llvsr. All wa have dona Is to agree,
nndar certain olroumstanoer, to oarry
out what la permissible under tha aot
Of 1844.”
Tha latter oauaad surprisingly little
oommant In thla olty and did not
affeot ailvar atooks. Graat satUfsotlon
la axpraaaad, however, at tha head

Bankers of tha olty are surprised and

of Morales by relieving him of tha po-
