DIAZ CUTS HIS LAST TIE
Reilan Brigadier General of Re
public' Army and Refuses to Visit
Capital as Quest of Huerta, Who
Remains Dictator.
City of Mexico, Oct 28. Tho 'Mexi
can elections held on Sunday have been
nn absolute farco. Hardly any votes
bare been cast and In some precincts
there was not o songle vote cast.
Gonoral Huerta will remain in the
presidential chair "ad interim.'2 i
No official announcement was made,
bnt It was estimated. Judging from the
results in tho capital, where It was ex
pected tho voto would bo up to tho av
erage, that less than 10,000 of ho 80r
000 eligible voters In tho republic
went to the polls. It would bo no sur
prise if congress, tho members of
which also were voted for, declared
the election void when tho body Is' or
ganized and revises the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the numbor
of votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Qamboa and General Ras
con. If this claim is correct, it Is gen
erally thought that Gen. Felix Diaz and
Senor Requena ran second. The Lib
eral candidates, Manuel Caloro and
Flores Mugon, had no printed ticket
at thV polling places.
President Huerta spent the day at
his Popotla suburban home. A decree
was issued by Cenoral Huerta increas
Jngjhs army from 85,000 men, its al
leged present number, to 150,000.
General Huerta proposed such an In
crease some time ago, but the con
gress which he dissolved limited him'
to 80,000.
Sinco the deputies and senators are
not subject to the election provisions
governing the presidential eloctlons,
it is ald that the choice for congress
Is assured. It Is assumed, on the
showing so far known, "the Catholic
party will secure a majority in both
chamber and senate.
The elections promised by the provi
sional president, General Huerta, were
held without a semblance of disorder
InTany quarter of the city. A few
"patrols were on tho streets, but neither
police nor troops had any but their
'Usual duties toperformi
Vera Cruz, Oct. 28. The last Bhred
binding Gen. Felix Biaz and Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta was severed on Sun
day when General Diaz telegraphed to
the department of war his resignation
'as brigadier general of tho army.
The negotiations regarding the trip
to Mexico City on the Invitation of
Huerta ended by his flat rofdsal to ac
company General Vldaurrazaga, sec
retary to General Blanquet, war min
ister, giving as his reason the illness
of his wife. Colonel Vldaurrazaga con
tinued his efforts to Induce General
Diaz to change his decision, but finally
left for tho capital on a special train.
Diaz and his family remained here.
General Diaz expresses the belief
that no doubt the war department will
grant his application for retirement,
although a few of his friends point to
the possibility that tho answer may
come in the form of an order of ar
j. jest.
General Diaz said he realized he had
no chance for election to the presi
dency. His plans for the future aro
not yet made.

RAIL MEN ASK RAISE
ENGINE MEN OF WEST DEMAND
INCREA8E OF $50,000,000.
Insist Dealings Be With Both Organ
izations as Unit Ninety Roads
Are Involved.
Chicago, Oct. 25. An Increase of
150,000,000 in wages a year has been
asked from ninety western railways
by forty thousand engineers and fire
men. In addition engineers and firemen
BBk that the railroads cease to recog
nize the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen as separate organi
zations and deal with them as one
union. Each of the brotherhoods
named through their chelfs, W, S.
Stone for the engineers and W. S.
Cartel? for 'the firemen, "have-glven
notice by letter of their desire to end
the present contracts November 10.
Managers of the 90 railroads ad
dressed have answered that an abro
gation of these contracts Is agreeable
to them, as they have some new mat
ter they desire In nqw contracts.
From this it Is Inferred that tho rail
way Interest will contest any advance
In pay and put their case to tho pub
lic, through arbitration. Under this
exchange of letters the contracts of
the two big brotherhoods and tho
railroads will terminate November 10.
After thai they will work without
agreements until a now deal Is made.
Conferences will probably begin In
Chicago shortly after. The railroads
will deal through the General Mana
gers' association and the engineers
and firemen through the Messrs.
Stone and Carter, with grievance
committees of different territories.
