MADERO MAKES DEMAND MEN MEET TO PLAN PEACE
ASKS DIAZ TO RETIRE FROM THE THIRD NATIONAL CONGRESS IN
MEXICAN PRESIDENCY 8ES8ION AT BALTIMORE.
Rebel Leader Declares It Will Give
Him Great Pleasure to Quit, But
Insists on a New Deal
All Around
El Paso, Tex.—The peace commie
■loners of the Mexican revolutionists
formally presented to Judge Carbajal,
the federal envoy, a statement signed
by Francisco I. Madero, Jr., appealing
to President Diaz to make public the
assurances given privately that he in-
tended to resign.
After offering his own resignation as
provisional president of the republic,
Senor Madero suggested that both
President Dias and Vice President Cor-
; ral resign end that Minister of For-
eign Relations, Senor De la Barra be-
come president for the interim until a
general election shall have been held.
The statement, couched in most
courteous Spanish phrases, informs
President Diaz that there is no other
way out of the present difficulty and
that a word from him will bring peace
ia a few days.
Senor Madero, in hie statement, calls
upon President Diaz particularly to
make knows to the people of Mexico

established In the country, which Gen-
eral Madero declares was made to go-
betweens Interested in restoring peace.
CHINA FACES REVOLUTION
Wholesale Decapitation In Progreso te
Kill Rebellion
Hongkong.—All advices from can-
ton Indicate a desperate condition in
that city. There are 30,000 soldiers
within the walls and there is great
fear tbot many of these will prove dis-
loyal il it appears that the rebels are
about to gain the upper hand.
The rebels are strong in numbers
end have carried on their work of de-
struction with fanatical bravery.
There has bsen a gathering at Can-
ton lately of those opposed to the
Manchu dynasty. A few days ago sev-
eral hundred arrived from Hongkong.
The plot to overturn the government
was betrayed and the leadere of the
movement urged the viceroy’s body-
guard to Join forces and kill the Man-
chua. This the bodyguard refused to
do, with the result that when the at-
tack was made upon the residence of
the viceroy a few days ago the revolu-
tionists were routed.
Certain bodies of troops may be de-
pended upon not to abandon the rul-
ere, and all attempts by rebels to In-
duce them to join the revolt have
proved futile.
Notes Burled With Miser
Paris—The widow of a miser who
died at Pau was visited a few days
ago by a debtor who said he had
signed n promissory note In favor of
her deceased husband. The widow
■■ached everywhere among her papers
but could not find the note. Then
she remembered that her husband had
been In the habit of hiding money In
his night clothing. She mode an appli-
cation to the police lo have her hue-
band'H coffin exhumed In order lo ex-
amine the clothes In which he was
burled. This proved successful. The
missing promissory note was there,
and also a bundle of bank notes of
the value of $2,000.
Strong Addresses To Be Made By
President Taft, Cardinal C.b-
bona. Dr. Albert Shaw, and
Other Prominent Men-
Baltimore. Md.—"Peace on earth” is
the slogan of the foremost men of
the nation, who have come from all
parts of the country for the opening
of the third national peace congress.
Baltimorean hospitality ia being ex-
ercised as probably never before in
the history of the city. The visiting
peace advocates have been given iue
keys of the city and hosts and host-
esses are vieing with each other to
do homage to the national figures up-
on whom all eyes will be turned dur-
ing the next three days. The peace-
ful “invaders" will not “evacuate”
Baltimore until Saturday, meantime
spending turee strenuous sessions
wrestling with the stupendous pro-
blem of anti-war.
The significance and import of the
third national peace congress can
hardly be exaggerated. Its forerun-
ners, held In New York in 1907 and
Chicago In 1909, put in tangible shape
the movement that had long been
considered but a dream of the ideal-
ists. This one will take up the bur-
den where the others left off and it
is expected that action will be taken
that will put the future of the move-
ment in a definite line of progress that
will lead to the achievement of Con-
crete results.
The congress will deal with the two
leading phases of peace work—me
awakening of the public conscience by
addresses directed against the folly
and the injustice that result from war,
together with the economic waste of
universal armaments; and the prac-
tical means of making war difficult
by establishing Institutions which wn
take away the excuse for war.
The congress will be opened in Mc-
Coy hall of Johns Hopkins university
by President Taft, following the In-
vocation by Cardinal Gibboua. Mayor
Mahool of Baltimore, will deliver an
address of welcome to the visiting
peace udvocatea. Hamilton Holt,
president of the congress, will then
speak on A League of Peace.” An-
drew Carnegie, Dr. Benjamin True-
blood of the American Peace society.
Boston, Professor Leo S. Rowe of tho
University of Pennsylvania, and Hon.
William C. Dennis of Washington, D.

sion. Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott and Dr.

London—The multldlous details
connected with the coronation of King
George and Queen Mary at Weslailn
ster Abbey June 22, have been prac-
tically settled. The Karl Marshal, the
Duke of Norfolk and hla advisers have

The actual crowning will be per-
formed by the Archbishop of Canter

departed from In 1903, when the Arch
bishop of York crowned Queen Alex-
andra because of the great age of the
then Archbishop of Canterbury. This
time the Archbishop of York will
preach the coronation sermon.
The great officers nf state and

DIAZ BOWS
TO MADERO
OFFERS TO RE8IGN AS SOON A8
PEACE IS ASSURED
ACTION B_A_ SURPRISE
Manifesto Issued as Rebels Were Pre-
paring to Advance on Capital
—Other News of General
Interest
Mexico City.—General Porflrio Diax
Sunday issued a manifesto to the peo-
ple of Mexico declaring his intention
to resign the presidency as soon as
peace is restored. In this manner the
president has virtually acceded to the
demands of Francisco I. Madero that
he make announcement of such inten-
tion.
As to when peace is actually re-
stored, General Diaz reserves the right
to be the Judge. In the words of the
manifesto, it will be “when according
to the dictates of my conscience, I am
sure that my resignation will not be
followed by anarchy."
The president said his determina-
tion not to relinquish the presidency
at this time was not due to vanity or
love of power, because, as he pointed
out, power at this time had no attrac-
tion, accompanied, aB it is, by tre-
mendous responsibilities and worry.
He said he was prompted solely by a
desire to conserve the best Interests
of his country.
The president made it clear he
does not propose to abandon the pres-
idency while his country Is at war and
that he would not do so at any time
under compulsion.
President Diaz's manifesto was
made public Monday morning, but it
will not be sent officially to Judge
Carbajal for formal transmission to
Dr. Vasquez Gomez. The promise of
the president is made to the people
of Mexico and Us receipt by the revo-
lutionists will be incidental. IJ will
be sent to them privately, however.
It was at a cabinet meeting Sunday
afternoon that General Diaz announc-
ed to his ministers his decision. For
two hours and a half they discussed
the terms of the manifesto and at the
conclusion of the meeting there re-
mamlned nothing to do but to secure
its official promulgation.
Joy In Rebel Camp
El Paso, Texas.—When General Ma-
dero heard of the despatch from Mex-
ico City concerning President Diaz's
resignation, he immediately gave or-
ders to have troops stop marching.
Couriers were sent ahead to halt the
advance guard also.
“I naturally am very glad to hear
that President Diaz has made the an-
nouncement," said General Madero to
an Associated Press representative.
"I am going to send a telegram to
him at once congratulating him on his
patriotism.”

Apropos of King George's corona-
tion John Quinn of the Irish Indepen-
dence League said the other day In
New York; ,
“There will be a lot of empire talk
and imperialism talk to spoil the coro-
nation. The KngllBh imperialist, you
know, prefers to talk about the em-
pire's fringe, of which he Is ignorant,
rather than about its heart, which be
knows to be diseased.
“The empire bubble was once prick-
ed nicely by an English housewife.
“Her husband came home late on a
Sunday afternoon smelling of beer and
tobacco and very red In the face.
“ ’Oh,’ he said, ‘I’ve had a fine time.
I’ve been to an empire meeting. It
was grand.'
"Then he frowned and said lmpa-
tlenily:
“'What’s tho matter with supper?
Ain’t It ready yet?’
‘‘His wife, who was peeling pota-
toes and holding a squawking baby,
rose nntUextended the baby to him.
“ ’Here,’ she said, ’take hold of your
bit of the empire while I fry these
chips.’ ’’
Now What Did She Mean?
At a recent wedding a baby har
shrieked without Intermission to thr
great annoyance of the guests, etc
As the bridal party was leaving the
church a slight delay occurred. Ont
of the guests seized the opportunitj
to say to the first bridesmaid:
“What a nuisance babies are at i
wedding!”
"Yes. Indeed!” answered the brides
mnld, nngrlly. "When I send out In
vltations to my wedding I shall hav«
printed In the corner, 'No babies ex
pected.’ ’’—Judge.
