AnarchleU Suppoacd to Have Something to Do with the Attempted Aaaaaalnatlou. CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 16.-An attack was made shortly ufter 10 o'clock this morning on President Dior* as he was proceeding from the palaco ;o the Alameda to distribute medals to the survivors of the wars. The city is In a fever of excitement and the stories are generally conflicting. The most reliable version of the affair Is that ns the president was entering on foot tho Alameda, or Central park of the city, a middle aged man armed with a long polnard * * -i Jumped lorwuru iroiu me uruwu miiu made an attempt to stab tho president. He wa? at once seized by the president's suite and the police, and heavily handcuffed. Then, by side struts to avoid publicity, he was taken under a strong guard to the Fourth ward pollco station. The authorities have 60 far refused to mnku a statement. The president was walking, ns Is his custom on Independence day, and was between Minister Mena, of communications, and Gen. Barrio Zabal, minister of war. Oen. Mena grappled with tho would-be assassin, who was at once disarmed and handed over to the police. The excitement among the foreign colonies is intense. As this dispatch Is being sent, 25,000 troops are marching pust the president, who Is surrounded by his cabinet and unmoved by tho attempt, and the people are hurrahing for Mexico and Gen. Diaz. The president escaped entirely uninjured. To-day Is the great national holiday of the country, the anniversary of the declaration of Independence, and the streets are thronged with poople. The attack on tho president was made just before the great military parade started. The assailant 1b a middle aged man, with long dark hair and a prominent nose. Ho looks something like an Italian. The attack may be the result of the recent propaganda hero against all forms of anarchists. One Jose Ventre, from Spain, has Just been expelled from the country and sailed two days ago on the Ward line steamer for New York. Another version Is that the man was simply presenting a petition. This Is not believed. The ceremonies of the morning were not interfered with and the parade started on time and was reviewed by the president as planned, at the national palace. The prisoner gave the name of Arroyo. MEXICAN CONGRESS OPENED Hy PrriMrnt Dins?Ilia MrMnge Shows tlir Country In (Jood Condition. ^tTV np MfVTHA 1? D...I VII 1 Ui' ailVAlV/U| HO|Hl' 1U' JT1CBIdent Diaz opened congress this evening, readhng his semi-annual message covering: the period since April. Ho said the emmtrjr was at peace with all civilized countries and was gradually making more Intimate ties with them. Titles to new mines Issued during the past half year number 719, making the total .*lnce the law regarding properties was put In force five years ago, C.&19. The exportation of minerals rose In the past fiscal year to $74,000,000, silver remaining about as In the previous year while koM was a million dollars greater. Nearly a million acres of mineral and waste lands have been transferred to private ownership to settlers, sales to private Individuals, etc. The heavy rains which have been general all over the country give promise of heavy crops. The postofllce department nnd the ielegtapha owned by the government show a remarkable Increase of business. Inferring to the question of the decline In silver as afTectlng tho finances of Mexico, the president says: "Unfortunately the present fiscal year does not begin under as good auspices as the previous one for the excessive weakness and fluctuations of silver, often sudden and violent In their character, have so Influenced economic situations of the country that It Is demanding the serious attention of (he government and ha* caused tho adoption of measures of prudence, all expenses not absolutely necessary being postponed or reduced. The magnitude nnd sudden clmrnetor of the present perturbation In silver ccrtalnly do not correspond to tho known causes which havo produced It, find therefore there nrc well founded motives for expecting that tho factors, more or less artificial, which may havo had an Influence In the decline of ellver, will be of short duration and may even soon bring about a favorable renotion. Thoro Is not, therefore, for the present, any serious reason for alarm. The nation will be able to pass through his difficult period confronting It with the name serenity which It displayed a few years ngo whon the causes produced nlitrm. This portion of the message attracted grent attention nnd was favorably received. In conclusion Ihe president assured eongmwn that there was every reason for congratulation on the state of the country, which steadily grows richer, while the government revenue Is continually Incrcailng.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 16.-A circular vas Issued to-day by the national execltlve of the board of the United Mine -Yorkers to the miners of the country, letting forth the reasons foi*the recent lettlement of the great strike. Three conditions are cited under which it was txpected the strike might be won: First ? That the miners would quit vork in sufficient numbers to create a oal famine. Second ? That a sufficient number vould agree with us to call a Joint conerence of miners and operators from tha lelds involved, to mutually agree as to ilgher prices for mine work . Third?That the fear of loss of conracts or the inability in some large and nliuentlal district to till contracts this leaaon if work was not resumed soon could lead to negotiations and proposilons to terminate the struggle. The circular states that the national xecullve board was induced to agree o a settlement for the following rea10ns: That the markets were being supplied; hat the suspension was not growing; hat miners could not be induced to reipond promptly to the needs of the hour, ind that those who did respond were ast approaching the point of exhaustion ind could not continue the light much onger. That the supplies were becoming limited, that pressing want could not >e anneased. causing a resumption in nany cases at operators' terms. That irgaitfxed labor was called upon to demote time, men and money to their own tffalrs and could not be reasonably be ixpected to continue Indefinitely to light ur battles. That the sufferings of the lungry men, blameless women and Inlocent children appealed to us not to ontlnuo a struggle where the result vould only be disastrous, entailing reater miseries and more hardships. These conditions were recognized by 'our executive board and district presllenta for some time, were explained to he convention In detail, and are preented to you as further information on he conditions surrounding the controversy. "The following states, Pennsylvania, }hlo and Indiana, will resume work lit 'ull and a portion of Illinois at the expiration of the ten day limit by the contention so as to give all districts affected in opportunity to comply with the conirtlons prescribed by tho convention. If IVeot Virginia and a portion of Illinois will refuse to do 00 and the fight will iave to be continued, your, representatives havo provided that assessements >hall be levied on those working to mainaln the Idle miners. % "On tho question of three-fifths tho ?rlce of pick for maohlno mining, your l>oard made every effort possible to secure consideration of that matter, but vere met with a flat refusal from the operators to go Into that question at this Ime for the reason that the uniformity igre?ment pending In the Pittsburgh llstrict provides for the arbitration oJ he question In the near future when It la loued the facts and figures then nreBent ?d will demonstrate more fully the trui elatlonshlp of prices both for pick and nacMne mining.

The re- , nolnder of the 23,000 miners of the dlsrict will be at work before the close of j he Week, It Is estimated that the strike which ! osted sixty-live working days, cost the people of the Pittsburgh district from 15,000,000 to $7,000,000.

He eald that he had a to t badly sprained ankle, the result of a olui fall while sparring a friendly bout with milt one of the guards In the Jail. The In- pris Jury Is painful, and will trouble him hav for some time. Krl Tho principal witness of the day was Join Prof. Dorsey, of the Field Columbian museum, who took the stand for crossexamination. Attorney Vincent for the defense made It his business to show ,n 1 the Jury that Prof. Dorsey did not know anything about bones anyhow and that L' he was denae?y Ignorant about femurs, nun Prof. Dorsey fought stoutly to show to-d that he knew what he was talking Buld about when he Bald yesterday that the bone shown him was the bone of a hu- posi man being, and very probably that of a In t female. Ho made one correction, how- Fro ever, and said that when he said yes- Jnci tarday that the femur was that of the out left leg he hud intended to say that It wh' was for the right leg. "}u' Before Prof. Dorsey took the stand, ,n Dr. Norval Pierce, who had Identified a cojJ bono shown him as the left temporal ?j]k: bone of a female, wns called to the H,lv Btand, but his cross-examination did not last for any length of time, and then Attorney Vincent announced that ho was ready for the cross-examination or ;y~ Prof. Dorsey. The examination abounded In technl- jg . cal terms and again and again the at- 4^ torney tried to make the witness say ter that he was not sure that the bono in question was the femur of a human belug, but the witness etuck to his first afra assertion. Then the attorney tried to ^<3 show that the femur was that of u hog pro, and again the witness baffled him. ton Then the attorney tried the femur of a r sheep, and again he was defeated, ern< Then he offered a large collection of ttor bones and wanted the witness to state com from what animal they had come. The bou court-took a hand In the proceedings at to 1 this point and announced "There are to ( enough bones In this case already with- the out bringing In a lot of them that have B] no connection with the case." uns The closing; hour of the afternoon ses- Tin slon of the trial was lively. Attorney of E Vincent, for the defense, made a su- ver preme effort to break down the evidence 1 if Prof. George Dorsey, the young roce osteologist of the Field Columbian mu- frcw soum. After a number of questions J?^ touohlng upon the qualifications of the ,on witness to testify as an expert, Attor- ?9 1 ney Vincent picked up a handful of ATni bones and holding them out to the witness asked him to identify each of f??J :hem. Prof. Dorsey refused to attemDt I ~!lf} Lo do so without first having an oppor- E tunlty to examine (hem. "Can you do It?" shouted tho attorney for the defense.
