message rendering his resignation of the Presl-
dencv General Roca invited the members TO eX-
press their opinions to the advisaolhty OF ac'
cepting it,
General Mansella opposed its acceptance on
the ground that such action by the Chamber
would be an admission of the triumph OF inc
revolution and of Buenos Ayres over the other
provinces of the Republic. He declared that the
action of President Celman in rendering his resig-
nation was culpable cowardice.
General Roca explained that he had sacrificed
himself in order TO show how utterly impossible
il was for Celman to continue in the Presidency
after the mistakes made by the members of the
Presidents party. Nobody he declared, could serve
man who had shown such complete incapacity.
He had gravely compromised the country. 1t was

Celman but every province of the Republic
and every honest man was against him.
General Roca's remarks were greeted with ap-
plause.
The vote on accepting the resignation was taken
in dead silence but when the result was an
nounced, showing O majority in favor of accepting
II the chamber rcsounded with cheers. General
Roca quietly left the chamber by back door
in order to escape the joyful demonstrations of
those present. There is much rejoicing through
out the city at the success of the movement 10
force President Celmans resignation.
1T is probable that General ROca Will be Min
