MENICO UNDER DIAZ.
The Surprising Progress OF Mexican
Cities i'm Municipal Improvement.


Even to one as familiar with the swift
development of parts of our west as with
the more conservative growth Of our east,
il is surprising TO watch the gait of almost
every Mexican city in municipal improve
ments. Modern water works to replace the
fine old Spanish aqueducts: modern sewer
age to replace the street sinks of centuries:
modern lighting, modern transit, modern
health departments; public buildings bet
Ter than our average towns of the like
population think they AFFORD: splendid
prisons, markets. hospitals. asylums, train
ing schools-these are some of the things
the 'despotism" of Diaz is planting
through the length and breadth of the
country. AS for schools. II sometimes made
me smile. but oftener turned my eyes moist
to note the perfect mania to have them
and to have them OF the best. Every state
capital has its free public model schools"
on which II lavishes wealth of love and
money, and the state earnestly follows its
lead. There Is now In Mexico no hamlet
of 100 Indians, L believe. which has not It's
free public school This summer nSA0 has
seen radical change. Hitherto the schools
of the republic had been In charge of the
municipalities, the federal government aid
ing in their support with about sl.epoepo a
year. In July the central government took
direct charge of every public school in
Mexico. This Is TO secure homogeneity in
the system. For the men and women now
in charge of the schools of Mexico 1 must
admit that / have never met more faith
full and enthusiastic corps. and they are
on the average, very fairly fitted for their
work In every state there are normal
schools, generously endowed by the govern
nIent. for the fit training of these teachers
and the attendance is encouragingly large
There also countless industrial schools

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senate in Executive Session Adopts
the HOar Amendment.

The Senate was prompt in going into ex
ecutive session today for the final discus
sion of the pending amendments to the
arbitration treaty preparatory to beginning
the vote upon them, which was set for 2
O'Clock
The Hoar amendment was adopted by a
vote of 10 to Is, about ) to l.
The body of the Hoar amendment is in
the language of the fifth section of Lord
Salisbury's original outline of an arbitra-
tion treaty, except that the words domestic
and foreign policy are substituted for in
tegrity of it's territory" and Is as follows:
Amy difference which in the judgment of
either power materially affects its honor or
its domestic or foreign policy shall not be
referred to arbitration under this treaty
except by special agreement
The Chiffon amendment was laid on the
table by seven majority.
A considera BILE number of those opposed
to the treaty are not in favor of Its rati-
fication in any form. No reliable canvass
of the Senate has been made, and neither
side is quite sure Of the outlook.

NEW YORK. March 31.-Openi- e prices
this morning were generally steady at
slight advances from last nights closing
level London again bought moderately
and manifested a willingness to follow the
lead of the local market. Professional ac-
tivity was confined principally to the liqui-
dation of the short account and no import
ant new undertakings were reported. The
scarcity of borrowable securities resulted
in forcing covering without materially
weakening the belief in the abandoned posi-
ton.
The premium on American Sugar. for in
stance, was credited with the entire ad-
vance in that property.
Pooling bill prospects were alternately fa-
vorable and unfavorable to prices. The
possibility of this measure becoming n law
is being construed into probab bility In
some quarters without satisfactory reasons
for such construction. The mere intro
duction of the bill has prevented liquida-
tion. and is entitled 10 some credit on this
account
That serious consideration will be given
it is not doubted. but the debate on the
subject is likely to be protracted and the
result doubtful Meanwhile rates are be-
ing adhered to in the suspected sections,
and no indications of an intention to cut
under the association schedule is reported

FIGHT FOR SECOND PLACE

The record-breaking riding of Shock con-
tinues to be the feature Of the six-day bi-
cycle race at Convention Hall. At the end
of fifty-nine hours, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, he had ridden 91O miles, which is
three miles better than the sixty-hour rec
ord made by Teddy Hale. Actually, how
ever, when allowance is made for an ac-
curate measurement of the track, he will
be credited with being about eight miles
ahead of Hale's record at that time.
The strain Is plainly beginning to tell on
the riders. With the exception of Shock,
no squirting Is being done. but the majority
Of the racers ride steadily and persistent

a rest, intending to resume it shortly be-
fore noon.
The only accident of note during the
night was the fall of Golden, Cassidy, Al

Shock was riding his record-breaklng

Connecticut farmers have found a COM

The birch brush has brought from Sl.5O TO

yields four pounds of oil. Farmers can
make the oil themselves. The distillery

not over two inches IN diameter, are cut in
lengths of five inches and thrown into Wa
ter-tight tanks with copper bottoms, in
which are coils of steam pipes. Three feet
of water is poured in, the tanks hermeti-
cally scaled, and steam is turned into the
pipes. The water is kept boiling six hours.
and the steam rising passes into pipe
which runs In the form OF a worm into a
barrel of cold water constantly renewed
The steam is condensed in the worm and
the oil drips from the end of the pipe into
a pail. Ii was formerly clarified from a dull

Now this is done by spreading a heavy

SENATE COMMITTEES.
Their DisOrgnnfzed Condition Dis
cussed In Executive Session.


The disorganized condition of the Senate
committees formed the subject of spirit
ed controversy in the Senate in executive
session again today. Soon after the ses-
sion began Senator Wolcott, as chair
man of the committee on post offices and
post roads, attempted to secure considera-
ton of the nomination Of L. c. Dana to be
postmaster at Colorado Springs, his COM
mittee having passed favorably upon this
nomination at its meeting yesterday.
Senator German objected on the ground
that the committee was incompetent to act
because of the numerous vacancies existing.
This objection precpitated a debate, in
which many of the senators participated
and in which some rather sharp language
was used on both sides, the republica ms
eontending for the regularity of the report
and the democrats criticising it as irregu-
lar and Illegal.
From the objection to the Colorado
Springs postmaster Senator German ex-
tended his objection so as to include all
reports from the post office committee
This objection applies to Messrs. Bristow
and Shellenbarger, the nominees, respec-
lively, for the offices of second and fourth
assistant postmaster general
