upon the train which bore ex-President
Diaz to Vera Cruz on his exile to Europe
when Iluerta himself was in command
of the escort. Thy president added that
the Investigation of the records of th
Madero administration was being contin
ued with great care.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21.-Coucern over
the actual coming of peace to .the repub
lic today supplanted speculation on the
fate of Francisco Madero, deposed presi
dent of Mexico.
Dispatches from Chihuahua Indicated
General Pancual Orozco . would accom
pany David De la Fucnte, chosen from j
me reoei list as a cabinet minister, to!
llie capital, and personally express his
allegiance to the new government.
No word of agreement nus come from
General Gcneveve do, Lao or Zapata, and
disquieting reports that the governors of
four, states-Aguas Callcntes, Nucvo
Leon, Coahulla and Sonora have openly
refused allegiance, have made the situa
tion moro complex.
Federal forces. It Is understood, will be
dispatched to these states to check any
rebellious movements.
Madero, with Suarez and Garza, re
mained under guard all night. Senora
Madero, who has been her husband's
closest adviser, broke dowa today under
th strain, .She. has , for snveral ' days
been tireless In pleading that her hus
band be- saved from death "and General
Hurta,,has personally assured her Ma
dero will not-bo killed.
More CljnrRen Airnlnst Mnilero.
Charges which are not altogether sub
stantiated were made today by the new
authorities, tending to Indicate that the
Madero administration in Its extremity
was contemplating a wholesale slaughter.
More than one alleged list of names of
those proscribed has been found.
A police officer declares Francisco
Madero personally and verbally gave him
a list of forty-three deputies, a number
of senators and of newspaper men, In
cluding the foreign correspondents, with
Instructions to have them assassinated.
Tho police officer said that since this
order was not In writing he did not feel
obliged to carry It out.
Such stories as this have created a
bitter sentiment against Francisco Mad
ero and have caused a number of men
whose names were on the lists J to use
their Influence to secure summary pun
ishment for the fallen president.

More Earth Slides

WASHINGTON. Feb. a.-Mor than
4,1500,000 cubic yards of earth and rock
are In motion along the Panama canal,
and the slides ore showing more than
usual activity. This was the information
received from the canal zone todayj
In addition to the slides, which will In
volve additional work before the water
Is turned Into the canal, thero remains
about 4,000,000 yards of excavation before
the work Is completed.
On or about October 1, the water will
be turned Into the canal bed, for by that
time It will have arisen behind the irreat
dam at Gamboa to a height of seventy-
four feet above sea level. The army en
gineers are looking forward to the open

them opportunity to test the proof of

by means of dredges and that the slides

Class Rntc Pending-.
Tho delegation which called upon the
commission discovered that the member,
had formulated a class rate to ha chnrgei
by thrallroads, but whloh has jiot yd
been formally adopted because the com
mission Is still receiving' evidence As t
the reasonableness qt tl(e rates. After
the tentative rates were fixed the rml
roadn of Minnesota and Missouri and
other states went Into the. coilrts to en
join the rates, prepared by the commu
slons of these stntes, and as a result Ne
braska Is the only state where tho com
mission, rales upply. Should theso rates
be adopted by the legislature and ma le
a law. the railroads, If they wero able
t.i find one single rate wlilch wns n it
high enough, would enjoin tho enforce
ment of all the rates, and Nebraska
would be In tho same position as tneu
other states.
Situation flrrlons.
The discussion of rates with the com
mission Impressed Mr. Bollcn with ths
seriousness of the proposition of enactiig
Into a legislative law a freight rate t"l,
and Mr. Keckley Intimated to the co..i
mission that he might withdraw his bill
or amend It to npply to class rates, Mr.
Bollcn expressed himself as believing tho
making of rate should be left to thu
commission.
The democrat arc getting a good deal
of their pqIboii against the commission
through Tom Hall, a member whose
chief dejlght Is breaking Into print with
statements to tho effect that the other
commissioners aro all wrong, but who
so far has formulated no new way of
procedure which Is better than the pro.
cedure of the board nt this time.
But this democratic, house of amateti'
detectives Is hunting for something to
use In the next campaign. It Is not try
ing to settle big questions in a buslnem-
llko manner-It Is simply taking from
mate ji.oio a day as salary or Its mem.
bers to make campaign dope.
