Tokio. July 25.—The official bulle-
tin Issued at 8 o’clock this morning
on the ^SmJTTfon of the emperor was
more reassuring than that posted at
11 o'clock Wednesday night This
morning's bulletin gave the tempera-
ture of the emperor as 08.7; pulse
104; respiration 32.
Last night’s bulletin read; "Tem-
perature 100.4; pulse over 100; Irreg-
ular. Patient Increasingly fatigued.”
A phyaician remained at the bed-
side throughout the night as condi-
tions were, considered unfavorable. A
minister of the household said this
morning that the emperor had slept
fairly well. The acceleration of the
pulse Is regarded as serious but not
critical.
The 11 o’clock bulletin created
alarm and the princes were summon-
ed to the palace at 2 o'clock In the
morning. The newspapers delayed
Issuance until after « o'clock when
Hssurancea were gi^cn of a pronounc-
ed improvement. * The attending
physicians do not explain the cause
of the accelerated pulse, but aro
hopeful because the temperature
remains close to normal.
Great crowds gather- outside the
palace walls For the first time In
history the general public has been
admitted, subject to approval to the
palace grounds In order to express
condolence.
Dr. Mlrua, physician to |he emper-
or. In an interview this morning nd-
niltted that the Imperial patient had
suffered a serious relapse. Dr. Mlrua
says his patient’s heart Is weaker and
he fears for its failure at any mo-

Kansas City, Mo., July 24.-—"The
time of the mushroom revolution in
Mexico has passed and the present
trouble with Orozco is near a termina-
tion Americans need feel no trepida>

That prophecy and assurance was
given this morning by Colonel J. A.
Robertson, Mexican railroad builder
and owner and editor of the Monterey
News of Monterey. Mexico.
“The arrest of Gomez was to my
mind the turning point In the present
long-standing trouble of the Mexican
government," Colonel Robertson ex-
plained.
"Orozco has lost the confidence of
hln followers already and the end to
his operations is not far distant. Any-

resent the best class of people in Mex-
ico—they are little more than half
brigands.
Times Are Good In Mexico.
"Htorles visitors tell about the cruel
treatment received in Mexico are ab-

m El Faso, Texas, July 24. 1912.
To the Voters of the Eighth Supreme
Judicial District:
t BotTse tb«t on last Saturday my
opponent. Judge Harper, timed and
was circulating a card headedTtegu-
lar Democratic Ticket," which Is tho
name used by oi.e of the local organi-
zations, commonly called the "Ring.”
to designate Its ticket. On this card
Judge Harper gtves as the "Ring” can-
didates whom he supports ail of the
Ring ticket, and then adds himself as
their candidate for chief Justice of the
court of civil appeals. He Is not on
the Ring ticket as printed and pub-
lished by the Ring organization, nor
is he listed at their headquarters as
one of their candidates, or carried on
the cards circulated by the real Ring
candidates, showing who their candi-
dates are, nor is his election advocat-
ed by any of the Ring candidates In
their speaking for each other. After
flirting with the anti-Ring organiza-
tion, and seeking their endorsement,
which he did not get, but - through
which he disappointed and disgusted
his friends of the Ring organization,
he, at the eleventh hour, when he can-
not he of advantage to either party,
has made a double somerset and tried
to land straight within the abandoned
circle. But the organization had slip-
ped the circle » little to one side and
he missed the velvet and made a hard
but-end collision on the outside, where
he placed himself.
Now, I do not claim to be the Ring
candidate or the antl-RIng candidate.
Neither of these organizations has put
out a candidate for chief Justice of the
court of civil appeals, since the Ring
dropped from Its list that office. In-
cluding Judge Harper. As there are
17 other counties than El Paso that
are Interested In the office. I have
thought the election should not. In
Justice to those other counties, even
appear to be controlled by either of
the local divisions of the party in El
Paso county. An unfair (leal, and es-
pecially if this should lead to filling
the court with unsatisfactory Judges,
would In all probability, arouse Influ-
ences that would lead to abolishing
the court. It might be recalled, like
prpeslon following Mexico's long state
of revolution.
Hn* Advised With Madero.
"It should he the policy of the United
States. Instead of finding fault with Its
naturally wealthy neighbor on the
south, lo encourage an interchange of
commerce. A reciprocal policy is the
plan of President Madero, and I strong-
ly have advised him to stick to It.
Mexico can do little without the United
States and the United States ean help
Itself much more with the assistance
of Mexico. Life and property of Ameri-
cans are just as safe in Mexico as in
this country."
Colonel Robertson lias been In Mexico
twenty-six years. In that time he
gained the confidence of Ex-President
Diaz and Is a warm personal friend and
adviser of President Madero. In ills
twenty-six years in Mexico Colonel
Robertson has constructed 800 miles of
railroad and has been otherwise Iden-
tified with the upbuilding of the re-
public.

The object ef this card is to direct
the ^mention of those voters who, for
any rstr-*y Quo* Inclined to vote the
whole Ring ticket, to the misrepresen-
tation made by Judge Harper in print-
ing his name among the list of those
carried by the so-called “Regular
Democratic Ticket," to the end that if
for other reasons they desire to vote
for me. they shall not feel influenced
to do otherwise through a mistake as
to Judge Harper’s attitude. I am tak-
ing no part In this war within the
party, and am glad to note that I have
an active support among the individ-
uals of each organisation, including
some leading lawyers on each side,
xmsu whom I may mention Judge
T. A. Fa Ivey, of the Ring organization,
and Judge J. Goggin, of the anti-
Ring organisation. -v
Now a word as to the endorsement
of some few Pecos lawyers of Judge
Harper, which was printed in the El
Paso pspers. That bar has had but
little experience with Judge Harper,
and only a part of it supports him.
and this probably through personal or
political alignments. But why can
he not show some support from hi*
own bar, where there are over 100
lawyers who have been compelled to
have a long experience with him? Why-
must he go away from home to get
endorsements to boost him with his
home people? Only a very small mi-
nority of the El Paso bar supports
him, for one reason or another. Nearly
nil of this bar supports me, hs well as
the bars of all the counties in the dis-
trict, except that of Pecos county, and
a large part of that bar is actively sup-
porting me. But I am content to leave
the matter with El Paso lawyers,
where we are both well known; and I
say to anyone feeling an intefest In
this matter, go ask any E] Paso law-
yer In whom you have confidence for
hi t opinion as to the qualifications and
fitness of the candidates for this of-
fice. and I will be satisfied with the
answer you get whether you happen
to meet a partial friend of Judge Har-
per or a supporter of myself.
Respectfully,
F. G. MORRIS.
