This, It la understood, la Dot Id ao

when re-fleeted President In 1900 he
planned to resign bef( re bit sixth
term expired, so that under tbe Oon
titutlon one of bis Cubiuet might be
elected President by CoiigTWS.
Early In 1902 it was announced that
Diaz would retire from olllee when tbe
Work of tbe Pau-Amerlean Congrtss
bad been completed, or that he would
announce h a detornilnall n not to
lerve another t-rm. This announce
ment was leeeivcd with an little favor
In Mexico as in Hie United .States. In

lie came Into power (is a military hero.
He was elected to the Presidency in
387G, because of bis patriotism, his
courage, his prowess in war and his
romantic career.
He retired in 1S.H0, because the Con
stitution prevented his re ejection. IIo
was reelected ln""J.SM, because the
Constitution permitted re-elwtlon and
because the people wanted him. So
great was thf? need of such n man nt
the bead of the lintion that the Con

b contint:ed in office.
He has been President twenty-throe
yeurs. lie has quieted factlrn. He
has establiahed order and ha1 plven

He Is as much a popular hero ns he
was the day be entered the Mexican

Imagination of n romnnec 1 ivlng peo

to tx one of the irrcale t practical
stnt'smen of the time. He lias toic-rei-d'-d

ENGLISH LORD ACCUSED OF BE

LONDON, Oct. 21,-The Can
adian commissioners not only
declined to sign the award, but
said they would pub'lcly with
draw from the commission.
They, as well as the Canadians
connected with the case, are
very bitter. Telegrams from
Premier Laurler and other prom
inent persons in Canada, show
that this sentiment Is shared
gererally throughout the Do
minion. LONDON, Oct. 21.-A Canadian,
who has been most Intimately and (
prominently associated with the Al-1

"It is the hardest blow the Imnerial

thy the solemn formalities of tne In

used for handing over Canadian terrl
tory to the United stales. Canada
has been not only spontaneous but
zuaious In defense of the British terri
tory, and has not hesitated to sacrifice
blood a id treasure in defense of the
motherland. Site must now face the,
fact that when Imperial Interest or'
friendships require It her territory
may be handed over without the i
slightest hesit ition. This marks the '
most Rcrious epoch In the relations be- ,

J n consequence of tlio altitude rtnin

given by tbe Pilgrims' society to tbet

men, Americans and Canadians ever'
brought together in London. In ad
dition to the members of the com
mission the British cabinet minis
ters, the American ambassador and,
most prominent representatives of!
English public life wore present.
Field Marshal Lord Roberts pre
sided. On his right sat Ambassador
Choat and on bis left Lord Chief Jus-)
tice Alversone. Lord Lansdowne,
Sir Louis Jette, Sir Stanley Carke.l
the King's equerry, and Secretary
Elihu Itoot sat at the same tabid
while other guests were distributed.
at small tables around the room, .
Lord Roberts proposed the health!
of King Edward and President Roose
velt in a united toast which met
with a cordial reception. He then,
proposed "The Alaska boundary com
mission," to which Lord Alverstone.
replied, saying that the meeting ot
the commissioners would stand as a
monument of the feeling evidenced.
in America and Great Britain to set-,-tie
their differences by a common
sense method. Ex-United States
Senator Turner, and the non. Cllf-,
ford Sifton, Canadian interior minis-''
ter, answered for their respective
countries, the latter saying that no
greater ciime could bo conceived
against human nature than trouble
between the United States and Great
Britain,
Proposing the health of the Anglo
Saxon race, Foieign Secretary Lor
Lansrlovvne claimed that it had done
more than any other nationality to
promote the arts of literature and
just atid equal government. He said:
'I. may prophesy that our contribu
tion towards the happiness and good
government of the world will not be
less in the future than it has been in
the past. The two great braoche8 of
the Anglo-Saxon race will be found
working shoulder to shoulder, giving
an example to the world of the best
rac do of settling differences. Human
natures are fallible and we must have
our little differences from time to
time, but an appeal to force is un
thinkable." Applause greeted this utterance.
His lordship refered to the fact
that eight countries were joining in
the Venezulan arbitration treaty and
the pleasure he derived from signing
the arbitration treaty but tbe Alas
kan tribunal, he declared, was by far
the most impnrtant example of that
principle. Jacob M. Dickinson, the
Amoiican counsel, in respodlng re
fered to the Afro-American and
other elements composing tbe Amer
ican population.
Mr. Ayles-.vortb, tbe Canadlaa
commissioner, answering In the nam
of Canada, ask if Lord Lansdowna
had not lost sight of the fact that
several thousands of tbe best Anglo
Saxons live In Canada. Passionately,
Mr. Aylesworth declared that none,
was more loyal to King Edward than
the Canadian, yet there was none
who from a business and sentimental
point of view more appreciated theli
association with America.
Mr. Root said by the creation ot ft
general staff he hoped that the Unit
ed States bad solved tbe problem, and
be trusted that Great Britain would
be similarly fortunate.
