character of Its terms, may prove full of
dancers for the future even to the point
of threatening- us with anarchy.
"I want a strong and firm peace, Ihat
iwut have all of our best efforts and In
tentions for which we must lay aside all
' personal and partisan pretensions. That
alone will renew the splendid advance In
the direction of progress and enable us
In thla advance to effect our evolution In
favor of a true democracy.
"In the present dispute there have been
many unfavorable events, but I observe
with satisfaction that the national army,
although considered deficient In force, has
remained firm In Its post of honor and
that the conduct of the various divisions
. of the revolutionists has been correct. This,
together with a food aenae of patriotism
to be shown In the agreements for peace
to which I have referred, convinces me
that If the political questions are well
handled the peace which X so earnestly
desire wilt become a fact
"Referring to myself. I do nnl know
whether my personality will figure at all
In the events now In the process of de
velopment with startling rapidity In my

Klve my utmost effort to advance the Idea
I have just expressed and which represent
my slneerest convictions."
Oeneral Reyes said the Interruption In his
Journey was the result of orders to remain
In Havana, which he received from the
secretary of war. He sld he did not

transport him to Vera Crus.

of Uncle Sam to Vote
on Their Postmaster
Congressmen Are at Outs and Cannot
Come to Terms on Candidate
for Place.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON May 19. (Bpeclal Tele
gram.) There la a most lively contest on
for nomination o postmaster at Vermillion,
8. D. Two candidates are In the' race,
running neck and neck, namely, W. C.
Hyck and W. U. Lawton. Representative
Martin and Burke have power to decide
which of the candidates shall have the
place, but as the representatives are at
loggerheads and are unable to reach a
conclusion, it has been auggested that the
choice be left to republican patrons of the
Vermillion postotfloe; that an, election, be
held, said election to be limited as to
choice as between Hyck and Lawton and
further, that the election be held not later
than May SI.
Representatives Martin and Burke agree
to recommend to the president the candi
date who may secure the majority of all
votes cast.
Representative Magulre has been en
deavoring to secure the "loan" of a piece
of ordinance or obsolete cannon for
ornamental purposes for a park at Stella,
Neb. He waa today advised that at pre
sent the War department has no old can

they can give him a number of old cannon
balls with which a pryamld could be made
and this offer has been transmitted to the
city fathers of Stella for consideration.
If Representative "Vlo" Murdoch, red
headed progressive from the Sunflower
state, can bring it about by persuasion,
oratory and persistence. Congressman Nor

Norrls Is backed by a group of InsurgerJt

made to obtain from Minority Leader Mann
the promise that Norrls shall get the place
made vacant by the withdrawal of Repre

Murdock Insists that the men occupied on
the highly Important committees ought not
to be burdened with additional labors
which they might find difficult to perform.
Norrls Is not In thla clasa and It Is be

A particularly bitter war has been waged
In the middle west by retailers' aesocla
tlons upon manufacturers and wholesalers
who have been selling dlreot to the con
sumer through mall order bouses, con
tracting builders and farmers' co-operative
unions. Several years ago about eighteen
members of the Northwestern Lumber
men's association were Indicted In the fed
eral' court at Minneapolis, charged with
conspiracy in connection with the cam
paign of the Chicago retailers against the
mall order houses. The indictments were
dismissed upon technical grounds. ,
Within the last two years prolonged liti
gation against the Nebraska Association of
Retailers was terminated by the supreme
court of that state, which held that the as
sociation was operating In violation of the
state anti-trust law.
' Managers of the retail organisations
maintain that all of their operations have
been directed by the legal opinions of
skilled lawyers. They are prepared to sub
mit a strong defense to the government's
attack.

JtARKZ. Mex., May 20-1'en.e will not
l' declared as In effect In Mexico, nor
will the armistice be terminated till the
moment Penor Francisco Leon de la Barra
becomes provisional president. In succes
sion to 1'resldent Oiax.
Francisco I. Madero. jr., will not visit
Mexico City until I'e la liarra is Installed
In power. He then muy go to the capital
to assist In trnnqiillltxlrig the country.
If the rebels In Lower California, or
other bands hitherto fighting Independently,
do not lay down their arms, Madero's In
Hurrecto army will be turned loose on
them.
No peacu . agreement will be signed, but
the Interim between now and the time
Senor de la Barra becomes president tvlll
be utilized In getting the Mexican congress
to enact laws covering most of the points
which it hnd been thought should be con
tained In a peace agreement. t
This is the explanation which one of the
most prominent lnaurrecto leaders gave
tonight of the status of the peace ne
gotiations. Madero's postponement of his
visit to Mexico City and other complica
tions which arose early today presented a
tangle to the federal representatives as
well aa to rebel leaders here, who ad
mltted they did not understand the sltua
tlon themselves.
"Facts," said a rebel leader, "these are
the only things that can make peace. We
cannot make a peace agreement, legally
binding, that requires the government to
pay certain Indemnities. This must be
done by congressional appropriation. We
cannot compel the government to Install
our provisional governors. Thla must be
done by the legislatures themselves.
"When all these things are done, and
we bear witness to their performance,
then, alone, can we proclaim Peace. Of
course, peace Is assured. It is a matter
of method only."
New Cabinet Named.
The naming of the new cabinet, which
Is to surround Provisional President de la
Barra was the chief work of the day
among the rebel leaders. Senor Madero
did it, with the assistance of his advisers.
What they finally will do cannot be pre
dicted, as names for cabinet portfolios are
subject to change without notice until the
new members are actually Installed.
The new Mexican cabinet, according to
the best Information, probaly will be as
follows: i , - '
Minister of Justice Vasques Tagle.
Minister of War General Kascona.
Minister of Fomento (Promotion of
Colonisation and Industry) Manuel Calero.
Minister of Communications (Public
Utilities) Manuel Bonllla.
MlnlHter of Public Instruction Dr. Fran
claco Vasques Uomez.
Minister of Gobernacion (Interior Ad
ministration) Emlllo Vanquex Gomez.
Minister of Hacienda (Finance) Krnesto
Madero. ,
Senor de la Barra will name a subaecre
tary to take charge of the Department of
Foreign Relations while he is occupied in
the provisional presidency.
Emlllo Vasques Gomes is now at San
Antonio, Tex. He is a brother of Dr.
Gomes, who Is to take the post of publlo
Instructions.
Manuel Calero la now a member of the
Mexican congress, one of the leading cham
pions of the reforms desired by' the new
progressive party.
Manuel Bonllla has been the revolutionist
leader of the state of Slnaloa and has also
occupied the 'ministry of communication In
the rebel cabinet.
Ernesto Madero Is an uncle of Francisco
I. Madero, Jr., and one of the most prom
inent financiers 1(1 Mexico. He Is at
Monterey, Mex,
The choice of General Rascona for the
portfolio of war waa made by the federal
government, but the rebels accede to it aa
do they to Benor de la Barra' s remaining in
nominal charge of the Department of
Foreign Relations. The rebels, however,
have practically named six members of
the new cabinet.
Madero Issues Statement.
Senor Madero Issued a statement late to
day explaining that he would not go to the
capital until Senor de la Barra stepped into
the presidential chair.
As the rebel leader now has decided not
to go to Mexico City until Senor de la
Barra becomes provisional president, the
original plan of having him arrange peace
terms In Mexico City has practically been
set aside.
Peace terms will be arranged by tele
graphic understanding and by observation
the latter constituting the acrutiny which
the rebela will place upon the acts of
congress of state legislatures between now
and the end of the month.
The Mexican congress Is scheduled to
adjourn by the end .of the month. It is
a safe prediction therefore, that the ten
days either will see complete tranquillity
In Mexico or a continuation of the war.
Hoaree af Story Not Known.
The aource of Madero's Information con
cerning the alleged plot Is not known here.
At police headquarters It is admitted that
anonymous letters have been received tell
ing of the existence of a conspiracy. No
names were given the police, who are
trying to learn the Identity of the plotters.
General Bemado Reyes, returning from
Europe, had been expected to arrive Sun
day morning. Hla arrival at Havana and
the announcement that be had received
Instructions not to proceed to Vera Crus
until further orders were made known here
tonight.
On good authority It is said Senor de la
Barra haa submitted to Madero the names
of three generals for the post of war minis
ter and that none of these is Reyes. One
is Eugenlo Rascona, military commander
of the capital; another is Ignacto Sala
manca, formerly connected with the .war
department, but now acting governor of
Oaxaea, and the third Is Jose Maria Mler,
governor of Nuevo Leon.
It was officially announced that the
war department had sent orders to all
troops to observe the terms of the armis
tice, although nothing has yet occurred
to Indicate that it had been deliberately
violated by either side. The fighting at
Cuacutla, twenty miles to the southeast,
began before the signing of the pact, and
efforts are now being made to notify ttje
contending parties of the cessation of hostilities.
