ASSASSINS IN ARGENTINE Refused . to Commute Sentence of Two Murderers. Correspondence of the Press.) Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 20.— has developed that the attempt e to assassinate President de la while he was reviewing the entenary celebration from the bal- Asso. cony of Government house on July 9, as reported by cable, had root in the president’s recent refusal to com- mute the sentence of two men con- demned to death for mnurder. The assassin, Juan Mandrini, who is be- lieved to be of unsound mind, de- clares that he believed the execution of the two men was ‘‘a legal crime,” which he felt called upon to avenge. They were the first executions in the Argentine for more than fifteen vears, and with this exception Pres- ident de la Plaza had himself always refused to sign death sentences. but Don’t Poison Baby.

The execution has already prompt- ed opponents to capital punishment to introduce in congress a bill to abolish capital ‘punishment alto- gether. The attempt to kill the president. on the eve of his retirement in favor of the newly elected Radical candi- date, Dr. Irigoyer, created a great sensation in the capital. A great military parade which was one of the culminating features of the week's celebration, was just concluding in front of Government house, where stands had been erected for the ac- commodation of spectators. On a bal- cony overlooking these stands ap- peared the president with the Brazil- ian ambassador, Dr. Barbosa, on his right and the Bolivian ambassador, Dr. Villazon, on his left, with various ministers of state also in the party. Suddenly a man standing on the pavement below drew a revolver and fired, shouting “Down with the auto- crat!” The bullet struck the wall Just behind the president. He paled for a moment, then calmly remarked: ‘‘The man has only fired a blank cartridge.” In the meantime people in the streets fell upon the assassin and tried to lynch him, but soldlers rescued him and carried him off to prison. HAYASHI* CONCILIATORY New Ambassador From Japan to China Disposed to Avoid Friction Between Celestial Kingdoms, Peking, Aug. 11.—Baron Hayashi's designation as Japanese minister to Peking, succeeding Eki Hioki, the retiring minister, has provoked wide comment, because of Baron Hayashi’s high rank in the diplomatic service. He will be accredited here as min- ister. However, he is an ambassador in the Japanese foreign service, and will retain that rank and the salary of an ambassador. Japanese newspapers have general- ly indlcated that Baron Hayashi will adopt a conciliatory policy towards China, and is being sent here for the purpose of harmonizing the relations between the two rkighboring coun- tries. This view is not generally shared by the Chinese press, which predicts that Baron Hayashi will eventually be much firmer in his deal- ings with China than his predecessor was. Warring factions in China have been advised rather generally by the press to reconcile their differences, and present an undlivided front to any possible fereign aggression. Po- litical leaders are warned that a continuance of the present internal strife will reduce the young republic to “complete political and economical tutelage of Japan.” The published digest of the new Russo-Japanese treaty has thrown gloom over the Chinese foreign office. The new treaty is regarded as a dis- tinct recognition by Russia of Japan's special position in the Far East. BECOMING POPULAR. Englishmen Now Cheer Canadians Because of Trench Valor. London, Aug. 11.—Residents of the metropolis are coming to think more and more of the Canadians. Their popularity is immense, all classes be- ing ready to cheer them on any oc- casion, their pleasant position being due to their prowess in the trenches and in the raiding lines at the front The most recent opportunity of the Londoner to pay homage to those of the Dominion has just occurred in the parade of 300 selected bandsmen of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The musicians, who were the soloists picked from 15,000 bandsmen with the force, gave a promenade concert at the Royal Opera house, in aid of the Women's Tribute Week. Then, divided into three complete bands, they paraded the Strand, Pic- cadilly, Pall Mall and into Trafalgar Square, receiving enthusiastic cheers from all sides. | however, until today that Cummings | GUMMINGS EXPECTS WILSON VICTORY As Certain of It As He Is That He | Breathes ( Special to The Washington, Herald.) 11.—Probably men Aug. the two most modest on earth are Senator McLean and Homer Cum- mings, of Conneccticut, who regarded as the prospective of respective parties the United States senatorship are gen- erally nominees their for Connecticut. in Senator McLean's attitude of saying nothing is too well comment here. known to excite It was not known, is his rival for the modesty champ- ionship as well as the senatorship. “How is vour senatorial candidacy getting on?” Mr. Cummings was asked. “I have never said to anybody that I was a candidate for senator,” was his noncommittal reply. That was all that could be extracted from him. Mr. Cummings, who is democra- tic national committeeman for Con- necticut, has been here several times in the capacity of vice chairman of the democratic national committee to talk about political campaign plans with the big democrats. With Vance McCormick, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, he spent four hours with the president, with whom they lunched and talked poli- tics, including the Hughes campaign, congressional affairs, and other mat- ters. Next day Mr. Cummings con- ferred with Vice President Marshall at the capitol. Mr. Cummings is chairman of the speakers’ bureau of the democratic national committee,i n which capacity he told the president of the progress made in assigning speakers to the various states. Some of the best ora- torical talent the party affords will be | sent to Connecticut, it is understood, Mr. Cummings says that William J. Bryan would not participate in the Maine campaign, but that he will make many speeches later. Mr. Bryan's itinerary has not yet been arranged, he stated. Discussing the political with newspaper men, Mr. said: “The president will be reelected be- yond a doubt. Neither the Mexican policy nor the tariff will be the big issues of the campaign, but the issue will be the record of Woodrow Wilson. Had the president recognized Huerta, he would not deserve the respect he now commands. If the acceptance speech of the republican presidential candidate gauges the intelligence of the American public, then that intelli- gence is below what is accepted. American diplomacy is a new diplom- acy not based upon the diplomacy of Europe. “I am as confident that the presi- dent will be reelectea as I am that I am living. He will be reelected on his record of performance. The republi- cans are trying to make Mexico the issue, but they cannot. Neither can they make the tariff the big issue. Nobody is thinking about the tariff. “The acceptance speech of Mr. Hughes was not that which the Amer- ican people had a right to expect from a candidate for the presidency. It does not meet the intelligence of the people. If it does, I haven't much respect for that intelligence. There is not one bit of constructive criticism about it. Had the manager of a big business submitted such a report to his employers, he would have been dis- charged. Would Mr. Hughes have recognized Huerta? Had President Wilson recognized him, I would have little respect for him. The fact that Great Britain, France and other na- tions recognized Huerta signifies nothing. “There are three very doubtful states in New England—Maine, Con- necticut and Massachusetts. 1 am sure we shall carry Massachusetts and Maine. The latter used to be a re- publican state. It is doubtful now. But if we should lose Maine in Sep- tember by 10,000 or 15,000 T would not be discouraged in the least. In the past when Maine went republican by 20,000 the democrats carried the coun- try.

Press.) Hankow, China, July 19.—Antimony prices have collapsed and scores of Chinese who were millionaires on pa- per a few months ago, are now com- puting their liabilities. The demand for antimony was so keen early in the war and the supply was so limited that prices soared. Many new mines were opened, and re- duction plants were built. Hunan pro- vince is the greatest antimony produec- ing center of the world, and Changsha is the center through which most of the ore is handled. That city became a regular El Dorado. Fortunes were made over night, and for a time there seemed to be no limit to the prices which producers could command from firms that required the metal to har- den shell cases for the various armies. At one time antimony in crude smelted form commanded over eight hundred dollars gold per ton. Specu- lators predicted the ore woul bring fifteen hundred dollars a ton, and act- ed on that prediction. But the metal trade suddenly read- justed. The output of antimony, which is used only in very limited quantities by ammunition makers, ex- ceeded the supply. Ore which at one time sold in New York at fifty cents gold a pound has dropped to fifteen cents gold per pound, and the wind has gone out of the sails of the Chang- sha boosters. Many of the antimony producers now have ore on the way from Changsha to New York, which is mortgaged to bankers for more than the present market price of the metal. Within the past few weeks anti- mony producers in the Changsha dis- trict have organized an association for the purpose of steadying the market by limiting the output. They predict that they will be able to restore prices to their highest level within a short time, but as yet have produced no ap- preciable effect on the market NO APPROVAL YET. the last two days there have several colored women about town collecting fund for some one or other of their various enter- prises. The Chamber of Commerce took up the case today-and finds there are five of these women collecting but as they have given several different causes the real one has not yvet been determined. So far no certificate of approval has been issued by the cham- ber.
