"I cannot express too strongly our appreciation." he said. "The Trib? une editorials were a source of great encouragement and material assist? ance, in flqhting the cause we be lievd to b? right. We felt, as The Tribune expressed it editorially, that the law?and that means the broader interests of the people?was on our side. The Erdman act was formu? lated und made a law specifically to meet just such a situation. There was no good reason why the railroads should not abide by the law and arbitrate under its oreseni provi? sions, 88 we insisted they should do. "The firemen appreciate the atti? tude of tl?e press generally.

Mexico City. Feb. 18.?Francisco I. Madero has been forced out j ot the Presidency. He was arrested at the National Palace not long before 3 o'clock this afternoon by General Blanquet. General Victoriano Huerta, commander of the federal troops, was proclaimed Provisional President. Under pressure. Madero resigned at 6 o'clock. About the time Madero was seized by General Blanquet, hi? brother, Gustavo Madero, formerly Minister of Finance, was arrested by General Huerta, who was dining with him in a public restaurant. All the members of the Cabinet were promptly arrested except Ernesto Madero, uncle of Che President, who held the portfolio of Finance. He was apprised of the intentions against the government and managed to escape. The Z?calo, the great plaza in front of the Palace, was jammed to-night by a delirious crowd, with banners inscribed "Peace" and ?"Liberty." shouting for Diaz, Huerta, Blanquet and Mondragon. The wcman members of the Madero family, who were in Cha pultepec Castle, were whisked away in an automobile by friends who had learned of the coup at the National Palace. Tele-jrams have been sent to the governors of the states notify? ing them of the proclamation of Huerta as Provisional President, and also to the military commanders, assuring them that general elections will be held for President. General Huerta made a speech from the balcony of the Palace to the assembled crowds. He declared that he had no personal ambitions, and announced himself as military governor, and Gen? eral Blanquet as military commander of th.* federal district. It is fully believed that a definite agreement wil be reached between the rebel forces and General Huerta. The negotiations ; will be conducted through the American Embassy. Notwithstanding the fact that s^me definite action was ex? pected to-day, the coup d'etat at the Palace caused a sensation, and i the exact status of affairs could not be ascertained for several hours. The direct movement against Madero was the result of a plot which had been brewing since yesterday, and which possibly existed with Blanquet for a much greater length of time. From the first it had been known that General Blanquet was ' unwilling to ficht. His men were of the same mind. He held complete command over them, and it was not doubted that they would follow him in any adventure, which they did at the National i Palace this afternoon. The forces, numbering a thousand men, which arrived late yes? terday, were sent immediately to the Palace, ostensibly to relieve the reserves there, and the reserves were sent into the field. An agreement between Generals Blanquet and Huerta was reached last night, but the first intimation that Blanquet's men had of the new part they were to play was just before the successful stroke was made. Banquet drew his men up in order and delivered a stirring speech. 'This inhuman battle must cease." he said. "The time has come when some drastic means must be taken to stop a conflict in which father is killing son and brother is fighting against brother; when non-combatants are sharing the fate of war?and all this because of the caprice of one man." Blanquet then issued orders for the arrest of the President and assigned a detachment to that duty. Madero was soon a prisoner in his own rooms.
