theBo wore not of the peon class, but
business and professional men.
When the crowd started It was led
toy a coach. In which stood a young
woman of the better class In a white
linen suit, wealing a big. black, feath?
ered hut. She waved a Mexican Hag,
und urged Die men about her to a
great pitch of excitement. Besido her
atood a young man. hoi.liny aloft a
large framed crayon portrait or the
revolutionary lender. They made a
wide detouli and attempted to Include
In their rambling march the residence
of tho President. Two squads of
mounted police, carrying rifles, were
rushed to Diaz's residence and posted
on either end of the block. When the
crowd approached the guards were
placed four deep.
Feeble efforts were made by the
Fhoatlng marchers! who up to this time
were in the best of humor, to turn
their steps toward the presidential res?
ilience, but evidently they thought bet?
ter of It and contented themselves by
waving (heir banners In that direction,
shouting "Renuncla! Renuncla!" (r#
piun. resign), and the usual plaudits for
Mad --ro.
Pleudn for Moderntlou.
Foreseeing the tragic possibilities in
the demonstration, Alfred Robles Do
mlnguez, Mndero'g representative, at
iln very beginning; ot the disorders,
procured the publication of a plea for
moderation. In an extra of the Kl
Heraldo, in the name of Madero, he
tirged the people- to resort to no vio?
lin ? ?, assuring them mat ho had per?
sonal knowledge that the resignations
of Diaz and Corral would be oiic-?a to?
morrow. That they were not oftercd
to-day i.s officially announced as duo to
?i technical delay in getting that ot
Corral In proper legal form.
" Copies of tins extra were distribu?
ted to the mob free of cost, but the
iitory which appeared to interest them
more than the statement o! Liomlnguez
\vas that of the failure oif Dlaa and
Coirui to resign. They shouted their
approval ol Kl lieiuldo, which is
owned by Americans, but ? continued
marching and shouting.
No .Vote of DUcord.
Juarez. Mexico. May 24.?Most signi?
ficant Lof ttie hundreds of telegrams
th.it. were received to-day by Francisco
1. Madero. Jr. the Mexican reOel lead?
er, Horn chiefs in all parts of Mexlcu,
congratulating him on the triumph ot
the revolution, was a message from
Ambrosio Flgueroa. leader of the rebels
around Mexico City. The telegram,
which is regarded here as proof that
Madero controls ail the rebels in Mexi?
co, and that they will abide by the
peace agreement lie lias made, says:
"i congratulate you on the tiiumpn
of the cause. 1 air. participating In a
triumphant revolution In this state, and
have named as p.rov.tsloml Governor
Francisco Flgueroa. The army of the
liberals of the South awaits your
orders."
Other messages of felicitation pour?
ed id at the Maciero headquarters from
military chiefs, and Senor Madero, in
explaining the nature of them, said
thai not one showed a discordant note.
"If there siill Is military actUlty
anywhere."' he declared. "It It because
pews of the peace agreement has not
re?'ched everywhere yet All those chiefs
?with whom we had direct communica?
tion have closed hostilities.''
One le'.:gram that was discouraging
to Ser.oi Madero came from business
men in Guadalajara, Jalisco, telling of
the massacre of more than a score of
residents and the wounding of forty
within the. last thre* auys by Federal
soldiers. bc<ause the people celebrated
the signing A the peace agreement.
They appealed to Senor Madero for
relief, suggesting the immediate re?
moval of the Governor of the State and
the .icfe politico of thaf, city. Senor
Madero made representations to the
federal government atong these lines.
If Francisco I. Madero, Jr., becomes
President of Mexico; the United States
will have a good friend at the head ot
Its neighboring republic, according to
what he told a delegation of city of?
ficials from Ei Paso, headod, by Mayor
Kelly, who called on the Provisional
President to-day. Madero said that if
he ever took any part In tho govern?
ment of Mexico, he would make every
effort to suppress any sentiment
against Americans. Ho would spread
ill. gospel throughout the country that
the United States was Mexico's best
friend
Senor Madero was satisfied that tho
United States cherished no desire for
territorial aggrandizement.

New Secretary of War Men?
tioned as Probable Candidate
for Vice-President. ?
Washingmn. May 21.?One of the most
Interesting bits of political gossip
Washington lias he^rd in a long \vIi11 ?? j
was current here io-duy to the effect |
thai the entrance of Henry U Stlinsoii; I
of New York. Into President Tuft's
Cabinet may mean that lie will bi,
Mr. Tuft's running mate In the cam- j
Pftlgn of 1612.
President Taft, it Is said, fully ex?
pects to be renomlnited. and little
consideratlon Is given here to reports
to the contrary.
The friends and advisers of the Pres?
ident In casting ubout for a man to
go on the ticket with him, are caid |
to look with much favor upon Mr. j
Stlmson, the new Secretary of War. !
They appear to be particularly anxious ?
to get a strong man from the pro?
gressive element on the ticket, and pr?- j
ter one from a pivotal State like New ??
York.
There are plenty of other vlce-presl
dentlal possibilities being discussed by '
political loaders In touch with the j
White Houre, Including Senator Cum I
mlns. of Iowa, and Senator Borah. of ;
Idaho. Many of the President's friends;!
do not conceal their desire that there
should be n Progressive Republican tin '
the ticket with him. At this tlr.V
there seems to be little chance, however,
that any of the Progressive lenders
In the Senate, will be available as vlco
presidenilal candidates. President
Taft's friends, it It: said, think that
Mr. Stlmson, both geographically and
personally, would prove a strong" addi?
tion to the ticket.
The Roosevelt Influence behind Mr.
Stlmson in the New York gubernato?
rial campaign last fall undoubtedly Is
one of ihe elements being considered
at this time.

"After my baby was born I lay in

doctor came evory day, but he did no

"Finally he advised an operation,

took five bottles of Cardui, and now
I am going about the house, doing my
work, and even do my washing.
"I can say that Cardui worked won?

PLOT OVERTHROW
OF GOVERNMENT
Portugal on Verge of Another
Revolution, Started by
Monarchists.
Lisbon, May 24.?That the situation
in Portugal is serious is evidenced by
the fact that the government 1b hastilv

aries, are on tho Spanish frontier and
Intend to cross to Portugal et the first
opportunity. In the hopo that the in?
habitants of the villages will support
their cause.
The government, however, It Is said,
does not look for a revolutionary move?
ment. It believes that the -.disturb?
ances will not go beyond rlofyig, but
nevertheless all military precautions
are being taken.
Tho long-looked-for rupture between
the church and the government In now
an accomplished fact, as a result of
tho proteBt Issued yesterday by the
bishop against tho separation law. The
violence, of this protest has caused
A sensation. It vigorously attacks His
provisional government and declares
that the law is not one of separa?
tion, but of annexation of the church.
After being despoiled of all property
and authority, tho bishops declare, the
church has boen sustained in abje'et p;>
sltlon under the heel of tho govern?
ment.
