cepted as sufficient guarantee of the
success of the revolution.
DIAZ'S STATEMENT ACCEPTED.
Diaz's announcement of his Inten
tion to resign is accepted with abso
lute faith by the rebels. Regarding
the future policy of the Madero gov
ernment toward foreign capital in
Mexico, Senor Madero said he and his
cabinet would continue to encourage
American Investments, but a vigorous
prohibition would be made against
trusts of any kind and against the
wholesale granting of concessions.
Madero has no doubt that he will be
the next regularly elected president of
Mexico and that Dr. Vasquez Gomez
will be the vice-president.
Concerning the re-organization of
the Mexican army, Senor Madero said
that all convicts hereafter will be
eliminated and the army will be com
posed entirely of volunteers. ,
Madero received the details of the
happenings at Mexico City with un
concealed pleasure. The dispatches
came too late for his perusal last
night, but he was up at sunrise today
digesting the news. Walking beneath
a grove of trees, which fringes a
muddy irrigation ditch near the house
in which- he has established his Head
quarters, Senor Madero outlined the
policy he would pursue when he
reached Mexico City.
"Certainly I will go to Mexico City
to act In harmony with Minister De La
Barra," said Madera "There could
not be selected from the government
side a man more acceptable to us than
Senor De La Barra. The only unfa
vorable part of the news Is the inti
mation that the governornment would
) select General Reyes for minister of
war. Reyes will not be acceptable to
us and I don't think he ever will be
minister of war. ,
"We realize that we have a great
task before us, but Senor De La Barra
and myself will work In perfect ac
cord. "Inasmuch as only twelve days will
elapse before the Diaz government ro
tires, I think It will hot be necessary
' for us to- Insist upon the immediate
institution Into office of our provisional
officers The members of the cabinet
and governors who are to act until
the election will be selected by Senor
De La Barra and myself.
"Lower California probably will be
the only part of Mexico which will not
be Immediately restored to tranquility.
The warfare there is apart from ours,
but we hope It will soon cease. As for
our army, I propose that all the lnsur
rectos shall be allowed to enlist as
volunteers. All convicts hereafter will
be eliminated. Volunteers will be en
couraged to Join by offers of good pay:
"A prompt effect of peace will be the
liberation of all political prisoners and
prisoners of war. This, of course, will
embrace Americans, including those
now In the penitentiary at Chihuahua.
"We will . continue to be wram
friends of the people of the United
States and will encourage American
investments. It Is not true that one of
our slogans has been 'curb the invasion
of Amreicans.' I do not hesitate to
say, however, that we will oppose
trusts and unjust concessions.
"Of General Diaz I have nothing to
say. When he was at the height of
his power I openly opposed him. To
day when he is down, I shall think of
him, but say nothing.
Dr. Gomez undoubtedly will be the
next vice-president. In addition he
will be appointed minister of public
instruction. Doubtless in attempting
to introduce In Mexico a thoroughly
Democratic system and free elections,
we will encounter many difficulties,
but these will be overcome. Dr. Go
mez has studied political system In
many parts of the world, and as min
ister of public Instruction he will be
able to introduce some progressive
ideas.
"I will send out at once instructions
to lnsurrecto chiefs to cease hostilities
and I am sure within a few days per
fect tranquility will have been re
stored. The surrender of the federal
government is so complete that there
is no question that can be dissatisfied."
Today was to be devoted to work on
a definite peace agreement. The pro
visional cabinet will receive the docu
ment drafted yesterday by Senor Ma
dero with the assistance of Dr. Vas
quez Gomez, and it probably will be
approved. Later today Judge Carbajal.
it is expected, will make his first visit
to the customs house, the provisional
capltol. for a formal conference with
the rebel peace commissioners. It is
confidently expected by the rebels that
Carbajal will be able to sign the
agreement within two days, though
the rebel proposals will not go forth
by telegraph until today.

frequently be recreant to the charter
principles of the party. The proposed
amendment, he claimed, would remove
from the constitution the recognition
of the sovereignty of the state which
now exists. He reviewed the adoption
of the articles of confederation and
dwelt upon the division of public
thought at that time as to the liberal
and strict construction of the consti
tution. He declared that the amend
ment would delegate an "increment of
power" to the federal government, that
It would materially assist the federal
aggression upon the rights of the
states. "And in this connection, Mr.
President," said the speaker, "I may
be permitted a digression. I thank
God that our United States senate had
the nerve to vote against the amend
ment to elect the United States sen
ators by the people. This is another
dangerous question tending to. destroy
the sovereignty of the states. I'll tell
you that when you see a Cannon, an
Aldrich, a Payne and a Taft promul
gating this income tax amendment it
is time for Democrats to beware."
ALWAYS BEEN DEMOCRATIC.
Senator John P. Stokes, in making
reply to Senator Finlayson, opened
with the words: "Mr. President, I had
assumed that no senator electeTd In
Democratic districts by Democratic
electors in a Democratic state would
have the temerity to oppose such a
Democratic measure. The argument
employed by the senator from Jeffer
son I regard as far fetched and spe
cious and without merit. A measure
that has been proposed by Democrats
for a number of years and has had
a place in every Democratic national
platform for the past twenty years, a
measure drafted by a Democratic sen
ator from the state of Texas and
adopted by Democrats assembled in
their national convention must be re
garded as & Democratic measure. If a
tenet so recognized in the Democratic
platform is not a Democratic measure
I should like to know what a Demo
cratic measure is."
Mr. Finlayson: "One that can be
measured by the charter principles of
your party, sir."
5 Mr. Stokes said that it was neces
sary 'for the party to have a recognized
voice and leaders. That the recog
nized voice of the party had been
heard !n the platform declarations and
that the leaders had spoken for It.
Under the apparent idea of the Jeffer
son senator every Democrat would be
his own Interpreter and there would
be as many different kinds of Demo
crats as there were people who claimed
allegiance to the party.
Mr. Finlayson wanted to know if
there had been any platform declara
tion on the subject by any convention
of Florida Democrats.
"Not that I know of," replied Mr.
Stokes. "The representatives of the
Florida Democracy sitting in national
convention at Denver sat there and
voted for it, and I heard them."
SHOWED IT WAS DEMOCRATIC.
Mr. Stokes read from the National
Encyclopedia the history of the income
lax. "It was adopted by the con
gress of 1862," said he, and Mr. Fin
layson interrupted:
"TRat was a Democratic congress,
wasn't it?"
"Yes." replied Stokes, hotly, in an
unguarded moment. There was a' tit
ter, and Stokes, went ahead with his
reading after saying he didn't know
whether the congress of 1862 was
Democratic or not. In any event he
showed that the income tax amend
ment was a Democratic measure, that
It was subsequently proposed by Con
gressman Wilson, went through a
Democratic congress and was sus
tained upon its adjudication before the
supreme court by four Democratic Jus
tices and declared unconstitutional by
five Republican Justices.
Stokes declared that he believed in
the election of United States senators
by the people. Mr. Flournoy asked:
"Is that because of the recent" ten
dency to settle things by primary?"
"No, It's because of the recent ten
dency to let the people settle things."
"Then you believe that the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people is a good thing?"
"Undoubtedly, sir."
"Then why not refer this matter to
the people?"
"Surely the senator must know that
the constitution provides that the
legislature shall ratify such amend
ments. In the case of the election of
senators by the people the effort was
made to amend the constitution: It
was not proposed to proceed about it
In an unconstitutional manner."
A number of other senators spoke.

WHEN OFFICERS ARRESTED ONE
OF THEM THEY WERE AT
TACKED BY NUMBER OF SAIL
ORS, BUT SQUAD OF POLICE-V
MEN HEADED BY CHIEF SAN
DERS SOON SUPPRESSED THE
TROUBLE.
The bluejackets precipitated a gen
eral row last nigth about 9 o'clock
and business picked up for a few min
uls, but they were finally subued by
Cliief Sanders and a squad of police
mien before anybody was seriously
hJUrt. The trouble occurred at the
forner of Palafox and Zarragossa
streets, and practically every blue
Jacket in that part of the city was
in the melee. About fifteen police
men dispersed them. As a result of
the skirmish four or five bluejackets
-e in the city Jail.
The trouble began when Officers
ViVy and Millford arrested a blue
jaf.iet on Zarragossa street and start
eoV to walk to the police station with
him They were followed by every
bluejacket in the vicinity and Just as
they got to the intersection of Zarra
gossa and Palafox the sailors at
tempted to take the prisoner away
from the officers.
It Happened that Chief Sanders,
Captain Gilmore and a number of pa
trolmen and special officers were at
the city hall attending a meeting of
the board of safety and were in front
of the hall during an executive session
of the board when the trouble started
at the corner, and as soon as the trou.
ble began they rushed to the assist
ance of the officers In charge of the
prisoners as did a number of other
officers from different parts of the
business section.
None of the officers were injured,
and if any of the bluejackets were
hurt it. Is not known .although a. few
of them may have received some
slight bruises or scratches.

Scouts Given a Fine
' Welcome at DeFuniak
fContinuert from First Page.)
A. P. Spence. P. E. Bailey, R. M. Flem
ing, M. C. Bennett and many others.
The Camilla commissioners pledged
the scouts that if the road pnssed
through their town that they would
put the roads in the very best condi
tion. The roads in Mitchell county are
already in fine shape and it would take
very little work to make them the
finest in the country. From Camilla
the scouts went to Bainbridge wnere,
in Decatur county, they had the privi
lege of riding over some of the best
roads in the south. The scout was
met at the county line by a Thomas
car carrying J. W. Calahan, chairman
of the county commissioners, A. J.
Harvard,1 J. H. McFarland and E. J.
Perry. The scouts were taken to the
hotel,' where they enjoyed a good old
fashioned southern dinner. From Bain
bridge the scouts were piloted to Neel's
ferry by J. H. Callahan In his Thomas
flyer. Although the roads In Decatur
county are In the best of shape the
county commissioners assured the
scouts that if the highway would pass
through their town that they would
put them in even iinpr condition.
Across the ferry . .c scouts were met
by the following citizens of Jackson
county: W. H. Milton, H. H. Lewis,
W. H. Price, W. L. Peel, E. Harris, J.
W. Henson, Paul Carter, J. D. Smith.
C. C. Liddon, F. M. Goldson. A. F.
Thomas W. A. McCrea, J. W. Barnes,
Rod Holliday, J. B. Campbell, John
Milton and J. W. Rust. These gentle
men formed the escort into Marianna.
After reaching Marianna the scouts
were taken to the court house where
the ladies of the town served a de
licious supper to all of the citizens of
the county. After the supper was over
a very enthusiastic good roads meet
ing was held and the scouts were
pledged as good a road as any county
would furnish if the highway would
pass their way.
The scouts, on their first day's ruu,
covered 142 miles and had the pleas
ure most of the distance riding over
fine roads. The counties of Decatur
and Mitchell are to be congratulated
on their good roads.
The scouts will leave Marianna early
Thursday morning and will try to
reach Milton by night. They will be
piloted out of Marianna by the follow
ing Chipley citizens, who came to Ma
rianna tonight for that purpose: S.
A. Alford, W. C. Alford, A. D. Camp
bell, A. A. Myers, Tom Aycock, T. R.
Brltt. O. Wells. H. Wells, L. D. Mc
Rea and others.
CHIPLEY ENTERTAINS THE
SCOUTS ON ARRIVAL THERE
Chipley, May 18. Chipley had the
honor today of entertaining the scouts,
they reaching here from Marianna
about ten o'clock. Immediately after
arriving they gave a big parade about
the main parts of town for about one
hour, after which they located at the
corner of railroad and church streets
for the speeches and other exercises,
Hon. A. D. Carmlchael acting as chair
man. The people of this little town
had the pleasure of hearing some of
the most distinguished men in this
portion of Florida speak, among them
being Hon. H. H. Lewis, of Marianna;
Hon. A. Seesoms, of Bonifay: Hon. S.
A. Alford, of Chipley; Hon. W. A. Bry
an, of Chipley, and other noted men.
The speeches consumed about two
hours and it is useless to say that each
one of them was enjoyed from begin
ning to end, for if the people of Chip
ley could Just have the pleasure of
listening to the voices of such men
every day there is no doubt but that
a great deal more would be accom
plished than there is. These men are
men that practice exactly what they
preach. After the exercises of the
morning, were over, the scouts and
visitors were taken to the Chipley
hotel where Justice was done to them,
as this is one of the finest hotels in
this part of the state for the size of
the town. The people of Chipley are
very enthusiastic over the matter and
are putting forth every effort to have
the good road come by way of Chip
ley. In view of the fact that Chipley
will soon have a hard road from Ver
non here and with a hard road already
laid out from Vernon to Southport on
the bay, it is believed that the road
will come this way. Among other
things, Mr. Carmlchael said In his
closing remarks, that after a long and
tiresome trip on their Journey through
this part of the state, and when they
felt tired, dirty and needed recreation
they could go to Vernon, switch off on
the hard road from there to St. An
drews Bay, and, bless their souls, they
could get Just what they needed, and

he hoped that their "blooming" old au

got home.
Hon. A. Sessoms, of Bonifay, said,
among other things, that if we could
not get them to come our way that
we would go theirs; that we would
connect with them some way, some
how. Hon. S. A. Alford, of Chipley,
said that he never had been called on
before to speak; he did not know how
to speak and couldn't speak but if he
thought he ever could make a speech
that he thought this subject would be
the most desirable one.
Chipley hopes to have the pleasure
of meeting these 'gentlemen again in
the near future and extends them a
hearty welcome.
The Vernon delegation was here and
extended to them an invitation to go
by there, but for the rush of time
they had to decline, going from here
to Bonifay and from there to De
