man Henry of the rules committee an-
nounced that the hearing would begin
on Tuesday, Doc. 2, and will last as
long ax the supply of female eloquence

Because the extradition has nov

Diaz Says Huerta Should Quit.
Paris.—Gen. Porfirio Diaz has ad-
vised Gen. Victortano Huerta to re-
tire from the Presidency of Mexico.
Two friends of Gen. Diaz, each act-
ing separately and by authorization
of the ex-president, sent telegrams to
Huerta last week to this effect. In
outlining his attitude, Gen. Diaz said
that in the present situation of the
Mexican people in relation to the
United States It was not a question
of whether Huerta was the best man
for the presidency, nor was it a ques-
tion of whether the revolutionists were
right or wrong; it was a question of
patriotism.

BOO Chinese Troops Killed in Battle.
Pekin.—Chinese troops have suffer-
ed a severe defeat at the hands of the
Mongolians, according to a letter re-
ceived from Kalgan, near the Mon-
golian border. The writer says the
Chinese lost 500 killed. This battle
will probably end the fighting, as news
reached the Russian legation that the
Khan has ordered the soldiers of in-
ner Bongolla to cease fighting. This
order was given in consequence of
the signature of the Russo-Chinese
agreement last week, by which China
recognized the autonomy of outer
Mongolia.
Fort Worth, Texas.—The ambitions
of more than 1,000 public spirited res-
idents of Fort Worth, who had volun-
teert< to spend two days working the
roads of Tarrant county, were damp-
ened Tuesday by a steady rain. The
road workers were to start Wednesday
morning and labor until sunset on the
evening of Thursday, but in view of
the interruptions by weather condi-
tions, those in charge of the road
working campaign have agreed to dis-
band and a date at some time In the
future will be set for pulling the
county out of the mire. From the
number of volunteers and the class
of men who offered themselves ax
candidates for handling the pick and
shovel the chamber of commerce peo-
ple are confident that Tarrant county
roads would have been placed in
shipshape had not the rain Interceded.
Indianapolis, Ind.—Indiana’s entire
National Guard, consisting of more
than 2,000 soldiers, were assembled
and encamped in different parts of
Indianapolis Thursday night ready
for duty in connection with the strike
of employes of the Indianapolis Trac-
tion and Terminal Company.
Special trains brought the troops
under hurried orders and they were
detained In the suburbs, virtually sur-
rounding the town. Great secrecy
was maintained as to the movement
and arrival of the militia and few cit-
izens knew that the troops hud been
called out until late in the day.

that their abandonment of the strand-

loss of life was unnecessary was not
known to the crew until word reach-
ed them that the schooner was in
port at New Bedford. Mass., virtually
undamaged. Nine survivors, of the
Parker's crew reached here aboard
the lumber schooner Tifton, from
Jacksonville, which had picked them
up from dories 30 miles oft Nantuck-
et Sunday morning.

understood that President
Huerta’s open note to the diplomats
will make it impossible for Washing-
ton to withhold the exact character
of Huerta’s reply, which was made
last week, and that this publicity will
make some more definite step neces-
sary immediately.
Opinion in Mexico is widely diverg-
ent as to what Washington’s attitude
iwill be now. In some quarters it is
thought President Wilson may recom-
mend their intervention nor direct as-
sistance of the rebels, by means of
recognition ot their belligerency, but
that may issue a note to the powers
setting forth that hereafter the United
States will regard Mexico as a non
existing nation and repudiate all her
acts, whether allegedly legal ot other-
wise.
. Of these three courses the Mexican
officials most fear, perhaps, the latter
two, realizing that either would ma-
terially strength the rebel cause. In-
tervention, it is believed by a major-
ity of those in the capital, foreigners
as well as Mexican, would be much
more merciful and humane a method
of restoring order.
Chicago.—The shores of Lakes Su-
perior, Huron and Erie were strewn
Tuesday with the.wreckage of a three
days’ gale and snowstorm, which cost
the lives of probably threescore peo-
ple, turned bottom-up in midlake a
800-foot vessel with its crew, wrecked
or grounded numerous craft and
caused a property loss as yet unesti-
mated, but which will run into the
millions.
Details of the storm, which literal-
the western end ot
Lake Superior to the eastern shore
of I^ake Erie, became known only
when survivors began arriving in va-
rious ports with tales of hardships
and heroic rescues seldom equaled on
the lakes.
On the land the storm hit hardest
at Cleveland, Ohio, where 24 inches
of snow fell, five people were killed
and ten others lost and where $2,-
000,000 damage was caused to prop-
erty, chiefly telephone and telegraph
systems, thus keeping that city out of
direct communication for two days.
Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 12.—With
fair, warmer weather predicted Cleve-
land is hopeful of a speedy cessation
of the difficulties that have beset the
city since the worst snowstorm in its
history descended upon it Sunday
night. A resumption of the blizzard
would be fatal, since It would prevent
relief from the food scarcity which
the city now faces.
The streets are impassable for wag-
ons and undertakers are unable to
remove the bodies of persons who
have died since the breaking of the
storm. The bodies of seven persons
who have died at hospitals since Sun-
day night had not yet been taken to
morgues, several more are being held
at the city’s correction farm and even
privatej funerals can not be held, as
the bodies can not be taken to the
chfruderies.
Many bakeries are closed because
of lack of power and unless coal
trains can reach the city soon an
alarming bread shortage threatens.
No improvement in the milk situa-
tion has been effected and there is
an actual milk famine because the
companies are unable to deliver the
milk on hand or to obtain any more
dairies in the surrounding territory.

City of Mexico.—Government offi-
cials foreign residents and the peo-
ple of Mexico realized Sunday that
the relations between this country
and the United States are strained
almost to the point of rupture, but
there was perhaps no man in the
entire republic who knew what Wash-
ington would do. John Lind himself,
who regpresents the president of the
United States, is ignorant of the in-
tentions of his chief, and if Gen.
Huerta is anxious at all as regards
what may develop, he does not be-
tray it. Although he has sent to the
diplomatic representatives of the for-
eign nations a note which, in effect,
is a defianeff of Washington, he was
conspicuous in the cafes about town
long after the midnight hour and Sun-
day indulged in relaxation in the com-
pany of his military friends.
In his formal statement to diplo-
mats, Gen. Huerta said it was now
foreseen that the recent elections
were null, as too few precincts had
participated in the voting, and that,
therefore, the new congress would an-
nul the elections. New elections
would then be called and he would
continue his program of pacification.
More uneasiness was apparent at
the American embassy than at the
national palace. At the palace the
opinion was freely expressed, not in-
frequently accompanied by sneers,
that the United States never would
intervene in Mexico.
Mr. Lind was fully cognizant of the
delicate situation and awaited with
keen interest word from President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but re-
ceived only assurances that the pres-
ident was interested in certain devel-
opments and a request for the con-
tinuance of his observations.
Mr. Lind expressed the view that
this waiting policy would not be con-
tinued for many days. It is known
here that he has recommended that
all diplomatic negotiations with Mex-
ico be terminated.
At the American embassy it is re-
garded as logical that Washington
will furnlseh vital development in the
relations between the two countries.
This assumptions is based on the
Washington note to Gen. Huerta, in
which Huerta is assured that refusal
to comply with the American demands
will result in President Wilson apply-
ing to congress for authority to use
sterner measures and to place a time
limit on Huerta’s continuance in of-
fice.

stress in the money market In get-

He said the bond commission's hands
were tied by the legislature and could
not negotiate a Ioan at more than 4

vention was necessary; that it was

Austin. Texas.—Attorney General
Looney has addressed a circular let-
ter to every cotton seed oil mill in
Texas advising that these companies
must dispose of the cotton gins they
own; that they must not deal in bag-
ging and ties and must stop fixing
the price paid for cotton seed. While
a number of oil mills have charters
authorizing them to do a ginning busi-
ness, the attorney general said that
fact would not save the mills from
prosecution If they persisted in gin
ownership, as the law never authoriz-
ed tne owning of gins, and such a
clause in the charter is void. The
letter, In part, follows:
“We find that a number of charters
for oil mills, heretofore filed, Includ-
ed as one of the purposes the owner-
ship and operation of gins as well as
the manufacture of oil. This, in our
opinion, was unauthorized and these
charters expressing a dual purpose
should never have been filed, but hav-
ing been filed without authority of
law, will not legalize that which was
wholly unauthorized by any statute.
"We also understand that the cus-
tom has grown up generally among
cotton oil mills to own and operate
gins as a means doubtless of controll-
ing the seed supply. I _ . _____
“As it is our opinion that the own- fer of the Fifteenth

Washington.—While
leaders here see in the sweeping par-
ty victory in Tuesday’s various elec-
tions a happy augury for the Demo-
cratic party, indicating a public con-
fidence that promises well for the fu-
ture, the members of the national
administration find in th* results an
immediate benefit through the furth-
er strengthening of the hands cf the
president in congress.
Under the leadership of Represen-
tative Underwood the house Demo-
crates have lined up solidly behind
the administration's legislative pro-
gram, and the moral effect of the vote
of confidence in the administration
is apparently not necessary to keep
the house in line. In the senate,
where the liberal rule of unlimited
debate is subject to abuse by indi-
vidual senators who understake to
delay the day when the senate shall
vote on a measure or even take one
up for consideration, the situation is
different, and such a public expres-
sion of confidence as President Wil-
son obtained by the elections is ex-
pected to exercise a restraining influ-
ence on Democratic senators who are
more anxious to block than perfect
legislation.

THAW DECISION UNFAVORABLE.
Washington.--Tlie administration is
making an investigation of the situa-
tion within the ranks of the Mexican i
constitutionalists, with a view to de- j
tennining whether recognition of the Election
revolutionists or letting them obtain
arms with which to carry on their
campaign, will afford a means of es-
caping intervention.
Secretary Bryan admitted that Wil-
liam Mayard Hale, who was President
Wilson's first independent investiga-
tor in Mexico, is in Arizona making
inquiry about the revolutionists.
It is learned on high authority, that
neither intervention nor practical rec-
Louisiana ; ognition of the revolutionists has been
determined upon, but each plan is still
under serious debate by the president
and his advisers.
City of Mexico.—The acute stage of
Mexico's economic situation was man-
ifested Monday in a long-continued
run on the banks, and served to ac-
centuate the fears of the Mexican peo-
ple. This, combined with reports of '
military operations in different parts
of the republic appears to have dis-
tracted the public mind for the mo-
ment from the possible dangers in the
strained relations with the United
States.
Among Mexican officials the anx-
iety is well masked, however, thos«
connected with the government con-
tinuing to manifest complacency over
future developments. At all the le-
gations and among the better inform-
ed business classes there is anxiety
over the situation.
The waiting policy has now been
transferred to the City of Mexico, as
Gen. Huerta considers that his note
to the diplomatic representatives
places the burden of future action
on Washington.
The run on the National Bank and
the Bank of Ixindon and Mexico, which
was ^egun Saturday, had not abated.
The government announced that it
intended to order the immediate coin-
age of 50,000,000 pesos in 50c pieces,
the coin recently made legal tender,
but there is doubt if this amount can
be put out in time to satisfy the pub
lie.
