BrFlrALO , Aug. 2S. Forty-flve thousand
men today marched through i.trectu glorious
In flags and bunting , receiving the ovations
of a half million pt-oplc. The president of
the union he fought to save was at their
head. When the line of the Grand Army
procefcclon moved at 10:30 : this morning tbe
( iky had not a cloud. The rain storms of the
night left a clear , bracing air , that was like
a tonic to the marching men. The procet-
elon moved for five hours and fifty-two min
utes , Along the route of march 100 girl ?
flrefiscd in the colors of the flag scattered
flowers in the- path of the soldiers.
President McIClnley rode in a carriage at
the head of the procession and waved hit.

Htand he took hs ; position with Commander-
In-Chlef Clarkson and Governor Black anfl
the headquarters Btaff paired In review. 01
all the throng viewing the procession no one
licrson was more- enthusiastic or more
affected by the sight than President Mc-
Klnley. With his hand on his hat , continu
ally uncovering to the national colois or
the salutes of the veterans the president
watched the proud array of veterans march
by It was certainly a column to inspire ,
admiration.
The closing event of th'e evening was a
reception to the president at Music hall.
Other events this evening were a reception
by Mrs. Catherine F. Hurst , president of
the Ladles of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic at the Iroquols hotel , a reception by
Mrs. F. 1. Woodley , national president of

PROCESSION FORMS.
Grieral Clarkson and staff rode from th (
Iroquols hotel to the Hotel Niagara as sean
us the staff had assembled on Eagle street
In front of the Niagara the staff drew up in
line and General Clarkson welted upon
President McKlnley to escort him to the
head of the column. At 10 o'clock the
president left the Niagara accompanied bj
his e'seort. All along the way to the point
of formation the president was loudl >
cheered.
At 10:30 : the command to march was given
end procession started. To the roll of
innumerable drums and tbe blare of trum
pets the Grand Army of the Re-public ,
headed by the president of the United States
took up its triumphal way throuh the seas
of cheering humanity. The sidewalks on
e afh side of Main street as far as the eye
could reach -were fille-d with a solid mass o' '
people. From every window faces beamet
out. and the roofs had a population equal , if
not greater , than that of the windows.
In the great square in front of the Erie
County bank the first glimpse was caught of
the real Immensity of the procession , foi
here theelose walls of the houses openee
out on either hand and tbe great tide ol
humanity poured out from the street as from
a funnel und swept in a solid mass of blue
and gold beneath the nrch of welcome. On
the balcony of the arrh a band was sta
tioned and ployed "Hull to the Chlrf. " as the
jirt'Kldeut's carriage passed below. The
people on the grand staud gnve a might }
cheer which wan taken up by the hundred ! .
In the plot to the west. "PrmOdent Mrttln-
ley " "Comrade McKinley. " "the Grand
Army" could be heard In the tumult of
vnlf'E. 'Again the column plunged in between - -
tween congested sidewalks , and again the
cheers rolled back from wall to wall. The
Imposing department of Illinois on the right
of the. line received an ovation OB It passot
along Columbia post of Chicago was wildlj
applauded , but the white haired veterans n :
tbe > smaller posts from remote corners of
the state were not forgoticn by the generous

Oa came the procession , post after past , in
columns of platoons , eight files front , at hall
distance , wh le the head of the pageani
wheeled into Cblppewa street , and patM-d
under the gaily dcroratecl arch erected bj
the colored people of Buffalo. Once cleai

the national anthem At the columns niovrcl
on nearer and nearer the shield , the flrei
platoons wheeling up iDelaware avenue , the
human tympathy that hud been pent up foi

bf enthusiasm. At the large grand stand
urerted by the friends of the Fresh Air mis-
r.lno for the benefit of charity , on Delaware
avenue near tbe shield , hundreds of spectator

At North street the last wheel in tin

As goon as the ( Department of Illinois line

AT THE REVIEWING STAND.
It was 11:22 : when the head of the column
reached the reviewing stand. When the
mounted curort had passed the carriages con
taining tbe president and Governor Black
drove up and attended by the committee
and the governor1-- staff they dismounted , the
vast throng cheering vociferously.
At 11 : .tO o'clock the parade moved again
and as the r.tatl and the aide * paused and
saluted , the president and Governor Blacs
arose and doffed their hats , remaining stand
ing until the aged veterans compiling the
staff had nil pawned. Then they seated them
e-elves. President MrKlnley In the center.
Governor Black on the right and General
Clarkson on the left.
When the Illinois division passed the vet
erans uncovered rod waved hatr and hands
and tbe president again rising , returned the
salute by kissing his hand to them. The
orders were very strict that In passing the
reviewing stand the men should keep eyes
to the front , but enthusiasm was greater
than duty and nearly every post broke the
rule.
"You're nil right. " shouted cine man who
passed , and another supplements it with
"We're all McKlnley men. " The president
smiled his greeting. When the Penn-
sylvanlu delegation pUKned with twenty-two
tattered flags. President McKlnley motioned
to the crowd on the stands and with cne
at-eord they arose and uucovrr - flIt
It wa 1 o'clock before the Pennsylvania
division had gotten by the reviewing etand.
Ohio came nest , and as soon as they came
In view there was E roar of applause and
the president smiled his recognition. This
was repeated with more emphasis -when the
Canton. 0. . post came along , and the presi
dent , stepping to the front of the platform
clapped hs : hands vigorously , while the
members of the post waved _ their hats and
shouted.
At 1:30 : the president and Governor
Black left the reviewing1 Htand. Lunch was
nerved at a private residence nearby. The
department of Massachusetts was disap
pointed at not seeing tbe president , but by
the time the Rhode Island delegation hud
come in bight tbe president and Governor
Black wern back in their places , und the
preaident was again bowing and smiling and
lifting his hat to the veterans.
SPECIAL WELCOME.
At five minutes after 2 Washington ,
D. C. . division pa&3ed and were accorded n
special welcome by the president , the
colored veterans being especially recog
nized.
The Michigan division earned great ap
plause on its appearance , Detroit post espe
cially , and the preaident said to Commander-
in-Chlef Clarkeou : "That is a line display. '
When Fairbank post of Detroit came along.
Secretary of War Alger was seen upon the
right flank of the Hist company , marching
in the peel uniform. When the president
saw him he pointed him out and the stanfl
occupant * cave him a round of nppluuse.
With Lafayette post of Indiana1 waikea
General Lew Wallace and he received a wel
come.
At the head of the Minnesota division a
eiruin corps of the oldest vetenns attracted
the attention of tbe president end he gave
them a special recognition. Not one of thi
Interenlng features of the parade escaped
the president's attention , and he laughed
heartily at the corn and wheat displays of
the west and the complimentary reference
to prosperity.
It was ten m'nutes ' past three when New
York State Department Commnnder Shaw
and Ills staff ealutefl the president , and the
NPW York state veterans began to file by.
They comprised two divisions and formed
the largest battalion in line. The battered
flag of New York elicited great applause ,
and Gettysburg post of New York City was
heartily cheered. On and on went the col
umn , end tor over an hour it was nothing
but New Yorkers. General Alger joined the
reviewing party while New York's delega
tion was passing.
It was nearly f > o'clock when the last of
the NPW York state division comprising n
brigade of Buffalo posts , passed the stand
and after nearly six hours of constant atten
tion tbe president and Governor Blacli were
driven to their hotel amid the huzzahs of
the- old soldiers. Throughout tbe entire day
the great crowd was orderly and there were
no intrusions upon the president. Tlie presi
dent admitted that he was tired with the
day's work , hut pleased.
The Daughters of Union Veterans has
several matters of e-onsiderable importance
upon which to act at ItB convention , which
will open tomorrow forenoon. A resolu
tion will be introduced asking the same
recognition from the Grand Army of the
Republic uf hap been accorded tbe Womcn't
Rp' > f Corps. A more delicate question to
t , > will be the request from the de-part-
L . ts of Maryland and Kentucky for the
formation of separate- departments for the
whltp und negro members. It Is expected
that this will ine'et with strong opposition.

SKAGWAY , Alaska , Aug. 17. ( Via Seattle.
Wash. . Auc. 25. ) A civil engineer of Junc-an.
C. E. Garthalde , and six nwlslanU. are now
surveying the White pass ID the Interest of
an English syndicate- , which Intends to run
n rnlraa ! Irom Skagway , trie entrance to the
pars , to Taku Arm. a distance of Blxty-elgbt
miles , and eventually to the 'Hooialluqua '
rive110 miles. E. A. nelllnEhum of Vic
toria If one of the principal promoters of
the scheme. This road , when completed , will
form the shortest and quickest route to the
Yukon country , and it is the intention of the
company to build wharves and warehouses
at Skapway. The highest altitude of the
road will lie at the summit of the White
pare. 2G.OOO feet. The summit is about twenty
ilcE from Skagway. The surveying party
has been at work since July 2f > . and expect *
to hove the survey completed in two vet-he.
Thry ate now twelve miles up the river. Al
though the exact cost cannot yet IK ? ertl-
mated , it is known that the road will cost
more per mile than Itost railroads , but , as the
trail is the natural outlet from the Yukon ,
the promoters expect to reap large returns.
The present trail over the paes , used PO
much at present by ingoing miners , wae
cut by this company with the idea of divert
ing the travel from Dyea and the Chilcoot
trail , and they made nn attempt to prevent
profcESional packers from charging more
than 15 cents a pound. In this , however ,
they were unsuccessful , as the rate Is now
,10 cents. Mr. GarthBide states' that it will
be impossible for more than one-quarter of
the people now on the trail to reach the
Klondike. Work on the railroad will be
begun in the spring and the road to Taku
will probably be completed in els month ?
from then. Skagwny is destined to be a
largo town and should the railroad become
un assured fact will disuince Jutieau as an
outfitting and general commercial point.
Many of the Juneau merchants nave opened
branch stores here already.
The great majority of people arriving
here cannot possibly get down the river this
year , and those of them who already realize
this fact are locating lots in Skagway and
starting to build. In a year the -town will
undoubtedly contain 2,500 to 5,000 inhabi
tants. The various paths and trails lead
ing through the forest have been chris
tened and the infant town has a Broadway
and several avenues. The White paes in its
present crude condition Is practicable for the
entire distance to Lake Bennett and a man
without a pack can go over it in twenty-four
hours. Pack animals can traverse it with a
load of 150 pounds and it seems to be the
better trail for those who have brought
horses with them. For the miners who have
no horses the Chilcoot pass sterns prefer
able , as it is impossible to hire men here
to pack outfits. The White trail has been
cut through to Lake Bennett only about a
week , and so far very few have passed out
of the lower end , although hundreds of
miners are camped along It. Frank Slnvin ,
the pugilist , is reported to have been the
first man to emerge at the lake. His out
fit , however , was badly broken up by the
packers and he refused to pay for -its trans
portation.

SEATTLE , Aug. 25. The steamship Wil
lamette pulled into the ocean dock today
from Alaska , carrying the following pct-
sengers : J. W. Virgin , J. H. Webber. TV.
H. Hockaday , H. J. Wiseman 'Abcll ' and Ar
thur Needham. The Willamette left Skag
way Thursday , August IB ; Juneau Fridaj
and Sltku Saturday morning. It brought
down no gold , although $2,000 was offered
by a party of four men who had crossed
overland from Dawson City , leaving there
July 4. These men. however , " -only wanted
to come as far as Juneau , where they ex
pected to winter , and as the purser was
not sure at the time the gold was offered
that the boat would Ptop at Juneau , he de
clined to take it on board. They reported
thai provisions at Daweon are growing very
short. One of them said he had a friend
who had several buckets of gold , but was
living on two spoonsful of beans and a piece-
of bacon as large as his hand per day.
The Willamette saw nothing of the Port
land on its trip down and its officers saj
that so far nothing has been heard of the
ship. The officers of the Willamette em
phatically deny the story that any one was
put in irons on the trip. The story origi
nated , they say , from tbe fact that a re
fractory stowaway from Tacoma was put In
irons between Seattle and Tacoma before
the boat left for Skagway.
Thomas Stauron of Seattle was one of the
returnng : passengers of the steamer. He
went north to join a Seattle party that left
on the Mexico. The others had taken his
outfit with them , and he proposed to meet
them on the trail. The eteamer was to much
delayed in starting that Stanton arrived too
late and decided to wait till spring before
going to the Yukon. He says : "It is a
ehame the way the SUagway trail has beer
advertised , as every day proves it to be
more and more impracticable. 1 went over
the trail as far as Porcupine river acd tha :
was all I wanted , although 1 did not have
aty pack to speak of. Dead horses can be
seen all along the trail , while many others
ere ho badly skinned up and bruised thai
they are fit for nothing. Footwore men and
others with strained backs are common ,
especially amocg the men who went up with
the intention of packing for wages. The
biggest crowd of prospective Klondlkers ie
tn be found camped along the trail all the
way from the bay to the summit. I think
very few men will get through this year.
Over at Dyea there seems to be very little
trouble. The trail is much steeper , but
horflcs do not get up to their necks in mud
and slush. Many men are going over to
go In the other way. Things ere very lively
at the town and on the bay just now. At
first it was all tents , but frame buildings are
rapidly going up. Next week a saw mill
will be In operation. Men art already at
work getting out timber for the new mill
at go ( > d wages Six stores , carrying stocks
.of mixed goods have started up and are
dotag very well. "

SEATTLE. Wash. . ABe. Jo. The ndvlceE
by the Mt-nmw Willamette Jreim Skagway
describe that place as Jtcamp of 5.000 pee
ple. Five mPes up the frail there are tents
all along on both BldeoJlbut a great share
of the people have never been any dManre
at all up the trail. Rain , muQ , discontent
and confusion prevails everywhere. The men
have a creat respect for the vigilance com
mittee , but they refuse toobey nny uutborty
whfn It comes to working on the trail. Build
ing * are going up rapidly anQ More * and
saloons are opening every day. The firot'
danee house and ealoon was opened while
the steamer WBB In port. The receipts at the
bar for the flrrt hmrr the dance hoxw was
open aggregateJ1.S4E. . On the .outside of
the dance house is a tree upon which several
significant notices are ported and from a limb
of which dangles a new one-inch rope with
a noose. This was put there by the vigilance
committee and it is more effective than a
hundred volumes of statutes against rrltne.
There are many reptaurants at Skagway , but
the fare is wretched.
From the latest accounts the terrors of the
Skagway trail si-em to have been but half
realized. Thomas Stanton , who returned
from Skagway on the Willamette , says the
Skagway trail is the worst place he hae ever
seen At one point in the trail hnrt.es ana
mules , unlcps the pack is evenly balanced ,
la-e their footing and are dashed to pieces
on the rocks below.
Purser H. W. Skinner of .the Willamette
says that only one-tenth of ihe miners now
at Skagway and Dyea will get over the
passes , but adcis. significantly , that their
failure to reach the Klondike will not be
because the two posses are not in condition
for travel. Men of skill and judgment need
not make a failure of the attempt to crocs
the divide.

BOMBAY. Aug. 2r. . . 11 p. m' The latest
dispatches received from the front Indicate
that the bltuatiou on the frontier Is getting
worse. It is evIJent that the Indian govern
ment must face a grave crl it Involving
hcfcvy expenditure and probably great loss
of life. The government Is confronted with
the ftillowing state of affairs :
Khybar Pose has fallen Into the hands of
the Afrldls. the posts In Kurram valley are
threatened by the powerful tribe of the
, Orukazal : the Mohand tribesmen arc medltal-
1 Ing a renewal of hostilities on Fort Shnlika-
' dar. while thousands of troops are engaged
In crushing the revolt In the Swat valley ,
and two large brigades are holding the Tochl
! valley , where the Malunid-Mar.lrle are again
restless.
i The authorities are convinced that Fort
j All-Muojld could only have fallen after dee-
1 penne fighting , as the native garrison of
i Khybar rifles was made up of men who
j rendered valuable assistance In the BJuck
i mountain expedition In 1SS8. The fall of
| the fort is a very serious blow , for it isolates
Fort Lundi-Kotal. which is ut the extreme
end of Khybur pass , garrlixm-ed by 300 Khy
bar rifles and necessitates the prompt re-
conquest of the pase.
Tins is certain to prove a formidable task ,
of which the British treiops had a foretaste-
on Monday , when u body of artillery , cavalry
and infantry left Fort Bara , south of Pesha-
we-r , iu order to repel the Afrldis. who were
then advancing clown the Bczal valley. The
troos-s returned early y&aterday morning and
reported that many of the men had dropped
out for want of water , none being procur
able along the route , while the Afridls ,
although shelled by the British , maintained
their position on the heights , threatening
the loyal villages of Kadana and the Bntioh
position , Fort Jamurad , at the mouth of
the pass.
pass.MASSACRE FEARED.
Fort Jamurad te held , by a strong force of
British and native troops and the British
front extends about thirty-five miles from
Shabkadar along the north sides of the Cabul
river and southward to Peshawer , where the
troops are mussing as the ba e of demon
stration against the Orakazals , who occupy
the region south of the Afridis , but have
not yet assumed the bellige-rcnt proportions
of their neighbors. There is an uprising ,
however , of email parties which is proving
troublesome ne-ar Kohat and It io though
both Sribes will be likely to close the Kohat
pass.
The wildest excitement prevails among the
Hindoo traders at Banu on ICurram river.
It ID rumored that 7.000 Wuziris intend to
swpop down there tonight , sack the town and
massacre the inhabitants. The Mullah and
he emissaries , especially those from the
Afghan governor of Koot , are actively stir
ring up the Waziris. who are also affected
by the disloyal attitude of the Kurram
tribes and emboldened by the knowledgajthat
the gurriflon at Banu Is very weiak.
There Is one ground for satisfaction in the
fact that except in a few Instances thp
Afridl len-Ies remain loyal In the face of
temptation to join their kinsmen , us was
conspicuously the case at Fort Maude.
Somewhat more hopeful intelligence come- ,
from the Swat valley where the Bonervals
" . The authorities
"have opened peace negotiations.
ities expect that this will have widespread
influence , especially if it is followed by sub
mission. It appears that the Bonervals suf
fered far heavier losses during the recent
fighting than hod been supposed.
NATIVE TROOPS ARE DESERTING.
SIMLA. Aug. 25. It is officially announced
today that Fort All-ilusjlfl , in the Khyber
eleven of the
pass , was evacuated after
garrison , composed of Khyber rifles ( native
levies ) had deserted. No news has been re
ceived Df the remainder 01 the garrison and
there is no confirmation of the repn-t that
the Afridls have massacred 300 of this force.
Ali-Musjld was burned by the enemy. Fort
Jeihangera , which has been oLt-uplefl by the
Alridls. is only a tower and of not much Im
portance.
A force of 4,000 Afridis advanced to
Lateral , twelve miles from Fort Bara , which
IB southwest of Jamud. General Elles will
attempt to cut off the retreat of the enemy.
Fort Lundikotal has not yet been attacked.
The insurgents are reported to be short of
lood and ammunition.
All the Brl'.ich army officer * on leave of
absence have been ordered U ) rejoin their
regiments immediately.
The British agent at Cabul , the capital
of Afghanistan , reports that the ameer held
a durbar ( convention of chiefs ) on the 17th
Inst. and read the protest of Lord Elgin ,
the Indian viceroy , aglnst the complicity of
Afghan subjects in the outbreaks of tbe
Indian tribes on the frontier and then reed
his own reply to it , following this with a
solemn declaration , attested by an oath ,
that he would always maintain friendly re
lations with the British government.
LONDON. Aug. 2C. The important news
that the ameer has sworn fidelity to Great
Britain and read the dispatches which have
packed between Cabul and Simla at an open
public durbar nas a reassuring e'ffect both
in India and here as tending to remove any
doubt as to bis loyalty.
Inquiries at the India office late last ) night
( Wednesday ) elicited the information that the
question of sending troops from England re
mains open , asit IB believed that the forces
already on the frontier will prove sufficient to
couduct the operatlcus.
Advices from Simla show that a further
ccocentration of roovementb hue been de
cided upon , the troops are being brought
down from the hill cantonments and sta
tioned at point * along the railways.

PRETORIA. Aug. 25. At a meeting of the
Volksraad today President Kruger delivered
a speech which it , likely to cause the
Greatest excitement in Great Britain. He
said that tbe relations between Great Britain
and the South African republic aiv regulated
bv the convention of 1BS4. He afldefl that In
the convention of November. 18S1. n ref
erence to the suzerainty of Great Britain
did appear , but that in the next convention
of 1SS4 , not a single word appeared bear-
j ing precisely upon that point , and Klncr
j then the suzerainty had ceased to exist.
I Thie. he continued , did not d : > nwcy with the
fact that the South African republic and the
whole nation recognized the convention and
would rndtavor to maintain it entirely , but
they could not recognize , tne suzerainty of
Great Britain because It was entirely opposed
to that convention. ' 'They will maintain"
; ) -friendly relationship with the whole world
and In this way race hatred would gradually
disappear. Wherever Jove dwelt , said the
| president , in conclusion , the hlptsing of God
I would follow.
President Kruger's remarks were greeted
with the loudest applause from all present.

MONTEVIDEO , Aug. 2S. During a na
tional fete , which was held here today.
President J. Idlarte Bordu was shot and
killed by an assassin.
President ( Borda died almost Immediately
after he was shot Senor Cuestus , president
of the senate , has aarumed the presidency
of the republic ad Interim.
The assassination of the president occurred
just as he was leaving the cathe-dral where a
Tei Deuin had be > en sung. The asapsin was
arrested. He is a youth named Avondondo.
Senor Borda wan elected president of
Uruguay for the term extending from March
IK94 to 1KUS. The fete ut which he was af-
safcslnatod was being held in celebration of
the Independence of Uruguay , which was
achieved on August 25 , lS2fi ,
NEW YonK. Aug. 2iY At the time of Senor
Borda's election lie belonged to the official
party , and was elected by a very narrow ma
jority. The people , it wus said , were sadly
disappointed at the result , but order and quiet
were maintained. The leading papers of Vru-
guay deplored the cle-ctlon of Senor Borda
and declared that It marked a reaction In th
country's progress. Later. President Borda
issued ei proclamation to the effect that his ad
ministration would conduct the business of the
state in the Interest of the whole nation and
that he would Invite the as-ifUnnce of all po
litical parties to that end. Tlvlf proclamation
made a very favorable impre-Bplnn.
An attempt WIIB made to assassinate th
president on the afternooa of April 21 last.
An unknown man met President Borda on the
street and shot at him. The president
escaped without injury and the criminal wca
captured.
On that occasion , the president , accom
panied by his aide. Lieutenant Colonel Tur-
rcne. had been horseback riding. Just as 'ho
dismounted in front of the-government pal
ace , a youth approached lum and drew a
nlEtol. Lieutenant 'Calohe-I Turrcnp ctruclc
vn the arm of the would-be assassin and the
ball passed over the president's head.
Another attempt to umiEsinate him wcs
made on May 20 , when be received a bomb
sent to him from La Plata. Argentine , It
as in n box und so arranged that it would
explode when the box was opened. For
tunately suspicion WCB a-oused and the box
was turned over to the police and destroyed.
NOT SURPIUSING.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 2D. The assassina
tion of President Idiarte Borda of Uruguay
wee not altogether a surprise to officials
here , who have watched the rcceut outbreaks
in Uruguay. This was the second attempt
on the piesldent's life , the former being
made by a crazy student named Revecca.
After it failed , the United States minister
made a person call on President Borfla to
convey the congratulations of President Mc
Klnley on the former't escape.
The lust mail advices received here showed
that the revolution had broken out afresh ,
the peace delegates from the insurgents hav
ing given up the hope of securing peace
and withdrawn to Argentine Republic. Fur
ther agitation was occasioned by the reportc
that the government receipts had shrurilc
Jl.fiftO.ono during the year at a result of the
revolution.
The last issue of the Montevideo Times ,
received here , states thai the president re
mained away from the state house in evi
dent fear of his life. At the- same time a
"Colorado" or Junta of those weklng to
overthrow the government had established
active operations at the capitol. The as
sassination of the nrcpldrnt doubtless will
bring tbe country to a revolutionary crisis ,
which has been long impending. Tbe revo
lution had thus far been confined to the
country districts where beveral extensive
engagements had been fought , the govern
ment forces heicuring the advantage. The-ra
lb no Uruguayan representative in Wheb-
lugton ,
BORDA NOT POPULAR.
The murdered jiident wa * about 50 yeara
of age. He was married and had a family
and also a brotbtsr , who ie an officer In ths
Uruguayan army. Ho was elected three ytara
ago , being a "combination candidate" of nev-
eiral parties. So far as Is known he had not
been very popularly idsntificd with the people ,
her had he hold any number of Important
offices. His elevation to the chief raagio-
tracy is taid to havc < been distasteful to the
more advanced element of thepeople. .
Much interest aUacliHi to tlie nationality
of tlie euitotisln of the pi evident.
"It would not he surprising , " said one
diplomat , in t-peaking of Hie affair tonight.
"If the murderer belonged to tbe socialists
or anarchists. There are many societies of
socialists In Uruguay. Many of them are
Mint out of their native countries and come
lo Uruguay , where they continue tbe propa-
cratlon of the > w ideas. "
LONDON. Aug. 2C. A dispatch to the
Monring Piist from Buenos Ayrus save that
while the assassination of Prc-ident Borda Is
unlveireally denounced , his removal from the
