LIVERPOOL, Oct. %i.~Joseph Cha=ber- addressed another monster meeting in li! ] GUANAJUATO, Mex, Oct excitement was caused here today by what looked like an attempt on the life of Presi- gent Diaz, who was a guest of the state government during the festivities here The president, his staff and guests were passing by the Oantgar garden on a Street car when a man of the lower class by the name of Ellas Toscano approached the car, shouting. and firing five shots from a revolver at the car, fortunately doing me barm. Pablo Escanodon of the president's staft rushed out of the car and caught the man, wrenching the revolver from his grasp. | The police took Toscano to the station. Toscano is a man with a bad reputation. ‘The matter will be Investigated. One theory is that Toscano was drunk and another is that he deliberately planned to shoot the chief magistrate. The president remained cool and was acclaimed by the crowd, showing their joy at his escape. Toscano's evil record makes the theory of a deliberate attempt at assassinarion appear probable.

The committee on car sanitation re- ported through Dr. Hurty of Indianapolis. “There is unanimity of opinion.” he said, “regarding the tramsportation by common carrier of persons sick with smalipox, diph- theria, scarlet fever, leprosy, yellow fever and typhold fever.

The delegates were outspoken in condemnation of the alleged inattention to the matter of cleaning blankets and furnishings in sleeping cars. Dr. J.

Dr. C. B. Dudley of Altoona, Pa., chemist for the Pennsylvania rafiroad, demanded the delegates furnish him the data on which they based thefr statements. It was not fair, he said, to require rallroads to spend large sums of money in this direction unl they knew where they stood. The cleaning of cars in transit he characterized as one ©of the most annoying things railroads have {10 contend with. In addition he sald his company had tried various schemes for sterilizing the drinking water in cars and | had resorted to the expedient of formaide- hyde in disinfecting them.

Percy Blair tonight stated that his mother, who is president of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Fair, had called a meeting of the board for November 11, at which she would state her position regarding the World's fair. Mr. Blair would say nothing more, but it is regarded as signifying what Mrs Blair will have to say regarding her in- cumbency of office. The Morning Choral club, which musical organization Mrs. Blair founded twelve years ago, today re- elected her to the presidency by unani- mous vote. The investigation into the charges made | against Mr. Blair is being pursued by the | grand jury. but no witnesses were ex- amined today. J. T. Roberts, the prin- cipal witness, was not on the stand. It is generally believed at the Four Courts that the grand jury has not secured suf- ficlent evidence on which to base am In- dictment. Roberts, the aoccuser of My Blair, himeelf has stated that the grand jury could not Indict without the testi- mony of eastern witnesses, Evans R.

The letter has been received by E. L. Lomax. general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacific, and It reads as follows: Sir: 1 have your letter of September §. You are evidently laboring_under a misap- prehension. “The Current Issue” is a jour- nal of opinfon and a legitimate publication. It does not fake itg business, nor does it in- vite communion with fakirs. 1 do not un- derstand why you should have invited the Current lssue to enter into partisanship with ¥ou in_an effort to_rob the raflroad companjes. For if the Current Issue has ever missed an opportunity to hold your business up to the contempt of the honest public. it incerely regrets having done wo, note with some regret your statement that | your past experience with editorial milesge | and trip tickets has been a very successful | one.

REPAIRING BRIDGE APPROACH Union Pacific Expends Much Time and Momey in Making Embank- ment Stromger. The repairs to the approach of the Union Pacific bridge on the west end are moving along at a very slow gait The job is an expensive one and has been under way for the last two months. It will require easily that amount of time yet to finish it and maybe longer. A gang of thirty men is at work constantly on the job and with the 2id of two huge pile drivers is rushing the work as fast as possible under the circum- stances. About 300 fir piies are being driven in bents of six and these are to be covered the north mide of the bridge there are to be 130 of these piles and already seventy-two of them have been driven. They are brought from the timber lands of Oregon and are from sixty-five to seventy feet in length. Each is driven to a depth of fifty feet and the remaining twenty feet will be covered over with the fill. The bents are twenty feet apart and the length of the fill will be almost 300 yards. This will be made so that | two extra tracks can be put in for use of | ihe passenger trains to the Union depot On the south mide of the bridge a brick wall is being comstructed. About elghty piles have been driven on this side, and they have already been filled or covered with slag. At the point where the slide of a short time ago caved in the ends of the two brick warehouses the wall is being | built, leaving an areaway of six feet. On | this side of the bridge room will be made | for one additional freight track. At the lowa side of the bridge a steam | shovel has been kept at work all summer | filling and terracing to save the end of the bridge. It has been sinking gradually, very slowly, and it was found necessary to keep the shovel at work until a permanent | remedy could be suggestod. The fill has| been terraced in five slopes and is at the present time in an unfinished condition. | | LABOR LEADER IS ASSAULTED Former Business Agent of Chicago Machinists’ Union Set Upom by Four Men. | s CHICAGO, Oct.
