James A. Grout, who, ac- cording to the dispatches sent out from the city of Washington, wrote to the secretary of the interior a sor ry tale from Nome. Grout, who claims to be a miner just returned from Cape Nome, says the reports of great wealth at that place are fabri cations and that great suffering and disaster await those who go there to seek for gold. He says the reports of gold are started by transporta tion companies, and the merchants in the northwest. Grout says he ran be found at San Jose at any time by anybody.

The presidential terms are four years in length, as with us. President Diaz is just completing his fifth successive term, and will doubtless again sue ceed himself. Besides these five terms, he served as president- be tween 1876 and 1880. t’nder the reign of Diaz, Mexico has advanced rapidly toward a modern civilization.
