Monterey, Mexico, Spt, 24.--General
Bernardo Reyes, governor of this stato,
haN sold his property in this city. His
residence on Hidalgo st roots was pur-
chased by Francisco Madero for $70,000
and his property near the Juarez mar-
ket wan purchased by Mrs. Andra,
widow of a well known rcapltallst of
this city.
It has been known for some time
that General" Reyes had offered thls
property for sale, and this, coupled
with his recent appllction for an In-
definite leave of abven. Is taken to
mean that the governorwill soon kavo
Monterey. It was rumored in the city
today that General Reyes had tendered
his resignation as governor of the
state, but no confirmation of the ru-
mor could be obtained in official cir-
cles and It is not certain that such ac-
tion has belli taken. The rumor that
General Reyes had requested an inter-
view with President Dla locks con-
firmation, but is generally credited.

Dr. Cook’s friends, however, an-

Dr. Huntington had expressed cont-

Most of Dr. Cook’s time today was

Fort Worth, Sept. 24 — Losses aggre-
gating approximately a quarter of a:
million dollars are the result of a fire l
which swept -the southeast portion of j
the factory district of Fort Worth be-
tween 1 and 3 o’clock this afternoon.
The fire originated in the mill room I
of the Fort Worth Grain and Elevator
company, but from what causes is un-’
known.
The elevator plant is a total wreck,
with a loss not less than 411*0,000, in-
cluding a vast amount of grain.

New York. Sept. 24.—The man who
discovered the Hudson river and the
man whose invention made it of great-
est service will be honored during the
ceming week here at the scene of their
achievements. Three centuries ago
Hendrik Hudson sailed past Manhattan
Island and up the river to the head of
navigation. Two hundred years later
Robert Fulton made the same trip in
the first successful steamboat. The
Hudson-Fulton celebration, which
opens here tomorrow, will visualize
their achievements.
For the next eight days the people of
New York and visitors from all parts
of the world will witness a series of
pageants surpassing anything hitherto
attempted in the way of historic com-
memoraton. The crowning attain-
ments of the twentieth century will be
exhibited to set off those of the pas.,
the leviathans of the world’s navies
have gathered to honor the two little
ships that made history one and three
centuries ago. Above the waters where
eighty warships lie at anchor the con;
querors of the air will exhibit their
mastery. Airship flights, naval pa-
rades, military parades and historical
pageants will all contribute to the an.
niversary. Every important nation is
represented. After a. in New
York waters, the floating part of tho
exhibition will move up the river,
where the cities whose settlement and
growth followed Hudson's discovery
and Fulton’s invention will spend the
next week in performing their part of
the celebration.
At 10 o’clock tomorrow* the Half
Moon and the Clermont—accurate re-
\ productions of the little Dutch shallop
• I in which an English master and a
mixed crew firstascended the Hudson
river from Manhattan island to ’ Al-
bany, and of the ungainly monster,
belching smoke and hissing vapor, in
, which Robert Fulton, an American in-
ventor, made the same distance for the
first time propelled by , steam, will
move from their quiet anchorages in
the lee of Staten Island to salute the
vast bulk of the assembled American
and foreign ships of war in the lower
harbor.
The Clermont will move under her
own steam. Her clumsy engines will
rattle and groan in her open hull: her
unprotected paddle-wheels will spatter
■ foam on her decks, and she will push
slowly through the water at a speed
of a little better than four miles an
hour, very much like the floating grist
mill that a Hudson river farmer first
thought her, 100 years ago. She is
built of wood, the ships around her are
built of steel; she carried no whistle,
nothing but a bell; steam war too
young then—and shrieking sirens will
salute her; her engines snort their
waste energy Into the open air, while
in the submarine depths of the great
hulls around her whirring turbines do
the same work with an efficiency and
power undreamed of by Fulton. The
bell the original Cie rmant carried on
her first trip hangs now in the pilot
house of a great side-wheeler that
daily makes in less than twelve hours
the same distance that Robert Fulton,
for whom she has been fittingly named,
took from Monday morning until
Wednesday night to cover.
"This is a very good land to fall with
and a pleasant land to see,” wrote
Robert Juet in his diary of the voyage
of the Half Moon, 1609. The magnifi-
cent oaks, the poplars, lindens and the
blue plum trees that Hudson and Rob-
ert Juet, his clerk, saw then, have
been replaced with soaring skyscrapers
on the shores of that "pleasant land.”
