the constitutional democrats did all they
could to amend the address, so aa to avoid
the appearance of Parliament entering
upon a revolutionary role. During th de
bat they dwelt upon th point that th
address did not summon the people to sup
port Parliament against the government,
end Instead of provoking the masses to an
uprising, It adjured them to remain quiet.
Nevertheless, they were forced, owing to
dissensions n their own ranks, to eliminate
a declaration In favor of th principle of
payment for expropriated land, thus In a
measure confirming the Idea prevalent
among the peasantry that the confiscation
of the land would be for their benefit, pur

The evident desire of th constitutional
democrats to extract the teeth from ths
address drove the members of the group
of toll out of the house with the avowed
intention of Issuing their proclamation,
' This 'Is not an unmixed evil, aa It might
. open the door to a final opportunity for
an agreement between th constitutional
democrats and the government. If this
happens Immedlstely the Indications are
that the constitutional democrats as a
party will go to pieces, the radical wing
going over to the left and the conservative
wing dissppesrlng among the scattered ele
ments of th right.
Even if the present crisis Is passed with
out a surrender to the government, things
are almost sure to drift from bad to
worae, a,nd In the end the government will
be forced to disperse Parliament at the

C. D. Chamberlain, secretary of th Na

the hearing had adjourned that he had not

of the evidence to the board.
"We are pleased with the manner In
which our case has been laid before the
commissioners," said Mr. Chamberlain,
"but I waa anxious to Impress upon them
one or two points that may not be entirely
clear. I wished particularly to bring out
the fact that the railroads refuse to make
a uniform rate for equal distances In dif
ferent parts of the state. "They make one
rate for a certain distance In one locality
and or the same distance In another the
rate may be nearly again as much. Ti e
commissioners, I understand, have held that
the railroads have a right to do this,
but I contend It Is an infringement of the
law. The matter was mentioned to Rush

LAREDO, Texas. July 20 -For some time
past rumors have been rife In almost oil
the large cities In Mexico which may por
tend anything from a great strike of the
laboring element to a revolution against
the administration of President Dia.
Opinion is divided as to what the result
will be, but enough credence is placed in the
rumors to cause much uneasiness nnd steps
will be taken to meet any contingency which
may arise. Circulars have been posted In
Monterey; Baltlllo, San Luis Potosl nnd
other large cities throughout the republic
warning all foreigners to leave the country
before the lfith of September, the Independ
ence day of the republic.
The circulars are In substance:
We desire Mexico for the Mexicans nnd
warn all foreigners that If they do not
leave the country by the 16th of September
they will be ' driven into the sea.
Continuing, the circular says:
The principal industries and business of
the republic are In the hands of foreigners,
principally Americans. The railroads, al
though they apparently belong to the na
tion, are the exclusive property of Amer
icans; the Americans direct them. Thn
mining Industry is largely cdntroled by 'ho
foreign element and our nation, neretorore
independent. Is being made the servant of
roreign capital.
We are on the border of an abyss and
great catastrophe menaces us all unless
we force all foreigners out of the- country
ana give our own people a chance.
The Mexican government does not fear
any serious trouble, notwithstanding the

EIGHT-HOUR LAW A POSER
Many ttaeatloas Maat Bo Decided
Before Its fleope Caa Be
Determined.
WASHINGTON, July 20. The executive
officer of the various departments have al
ready found themselves confronted with
much difficulty In the application of th
president's order to report violations of the
eight-hour law by government contractors.
The subject Is a very complex one and it
Is apparent that the attorney general will
be called upon to pass many opinions on
the application of law to the different
classes of employes.
The question has been raised as to
whether the decision affects work on naval
vessels In private yards. The contractor
Insist the law docs not operate outside of
a government reservation and that the
ship Is their own property until It Is turned
over to the government. The Navy de
partment officials appear to believe that as
the government pays installments of money
for the ship as the work progresses upon
them It Is the actual owner of the vessels.
This matter Is so Important that a test case
Is certain to follow.

into the bank aim receive the usual agent's
collection tee DacK, suggesting tnat Uiey
so direct the bank if it seemed proper to
them.
They evidently did not deem It proper
and 1 sent the money in full. That Is all
there is to it. I defy anyone to read into
my letter any demand or request for any
rebate or allowance other than the regular
collection fee allowed agents wno namile
premium renewal.
I submitted the question to the company
whether or not It would be prpper to allow
me such fee In the absence of an author
ised agent In the vicinity. It is as plain as
the noonday sun and no other meaning can
be placed on any sentence in any 01 niy
letters. I wrote for information and a
soon as I got It I acted upon It and re
mitted my premium In full. I added that
In my opinion the company would do well
to appoint agents at otner places than
Milwaukee with the Idea that It would
tend to convenience In collection. That 1
ail ther Is to the matter.
So Grand for Criminal Aetloa.
The disclosures were the subject of con
versation very generally today. Impeach
ment proceedings were hinted at In some
quarter, but th member of the Investi
gating committee scoffed at any uch
proposition.
"The very worst construction that can
be placed on th incident." said on of tbe
committee. "1 that a Judge attempted to
find a lawful way In which th law might
be evaded, and suggested It to the agent.
There Is absolutely nothing on which any
criminal action can be based."
I Th 'legislative committee this afternoon
wrote a letter to ir. Aiunnui unuui-iuii
him to submit to the commUtee at its next
meeting the original correspondence, which,
of course, contain the signature of ths
writer.
The committee will meet again on July 31.

under the leadership of General Toledo.
Engagements with varying results were
fought between the Insurrectionary forces
and these of the government of Guatemala,
until Salvador formally entered the con
flict. A little later a Guatemalan force
entered Honduras, the result being to array
that republic on the side of Salvador.
From the moment the trouble passed be
yond the phase of an Internal disturbance
the government at Washington set about
Instituting measures for the re-establish-ment
of peace. The cruiser Marblehead
was ordered from Panama to La Llbertad,
