PRESIDENT DIAZ TO RETIRE.
THAT IS THE OPINION AT THE
MEXICAN CAPITAL.
General Bernardo Reyes Is Slated
To Be Next President of Mex
lean Republic.

City of Mexico January 2S.-(Special.) }
The gazetting of General Bernardo Reyes
to be minister of war is but the carrying
out of a plan long entertained by Presi-
dent Diaz of providing for the success
sion and retiring himself from active
participation in public affairs
For years it has been known in exclu-
sive circles here that President Diaz re-
garded General Reyes as his right hand
man. While Iimantour stood pre-eml-
nent as the financial genius of the re-
public and Mariscal commands unbound
cd confidence I'm the handling of foreign
affairs. there concenters In General Ber-
nardo REYES more of the varied elements
which enter into The ideal executive than
IS to be found i'm any other prominent
Mexican. Besides his knowledge of poli-
teal affairs gathered in the exercise OF
the office of governor of Neuva de Leone
he possesses NJ the same time the mill
tary spirit which Is so necessary I'm the
eyes of the people of this republic. 1t
was well known four years ago that
President Diaz was sincere I'm his desire
TO retire from the confinement which
political station imposes upon him. lie
had the satisfaction Of seeing his coun-
try welcomed into the councils of ma
tions. with Its internal affairs in condl-
ton promising permanent progress. lie
had held the office OF president long
enough TO feel that he had been suih-
cient-y honored and that further service
would be lrksome IN its routine. lie de-
sired the comfort which approaching age
called for and was anxious to take trip
through Europe. His desire To retire was
eagerly combatted by those close TO him.
and thus he accepted another term. Dur
ing the past year he insisted so strongly
upnn the privilege of travel that consent
was given to "A trip through the United
States. The Illness OF the president

Opera Bouffe Performance by Mr. Neb-
eIer, Democratic President of
the State Senates
GOVERNOR WELLS WAS AWAY
AND NEBEKER WAS LEFT IN
CHARGE OF AFFAIRS FOR DAY.
Took Advantage of Brief Authority
to Appoint n Democratic senator
and a Chief of Staff of Militia.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 20.-Utah
Republican officials and politicians had a
scare when they found this morning that
Governor Wells and Secretary of State
Hammond had left the state administration
in the hands of Democratic acting Gov
ernor by leaving the State to meet Cover
nor Roosevelt at Pocatello, Idaho. Under
the statutes Acquila Nebeker, president OF
the State Senate, became acting Governor.
When Mr.. Nebeker discovered late last
night that Wells and Hammond were both
out of the State, he appointed Judge o. w.
Powers United States senator TO fill the
vacancy occasioned by the failure to elect
a senator at the last session of the Legis-
lature. Then he began to announce changes
In the gubernatorial staff. Mr.. Nebeker is
a prominent cattleman. with the cowboy 3
fondness for joke, and does not view his
own meteoric career as Governor very
seriously, but his political opponents were
seriously alarmed until they learned that
his term ended shortly after noon to-day,
when Governor Wells reached Utah soil
again.
The document appointing Powers to the
senatorship was signed a little before mid
night. at which time the train bearing
Governor Wells was expected to cross the
line into Utah. The last Legislature was
Democratic although the State officers are
Republicans. There was a bitter fight for
the senatorship between A. w. McCune,
of Salt Lake City, and Representative w.
H. King. An adjournment was taken with
out breaking the deadlock. The seat has
remained vacant. The Democrats discov-
cred last night they had the acting Cover
nor. Mr.. Nebeker consulted lawyer and
was told he had power to make the ap-
pointment. He accordingly did so. The
State seal was locked up and could not be
obtained. but Mr.. Nebeker's. legal advisers
maintain his action was valid any way.
The appointment was drawn carefully In
legal form, signed and witnessed. A formal
acceptance will be filed with the secretary
Of state.
Judge Powers, the senatorial appointee,
was also seen. He had the appointment
signed by Nebeker as acting Governor, but
no certificate had been issued at the Office
of the secretary of state. Nebeker has
taken no further official action excepting
to depose the chief of staff of the militia
and make a new appointment. The action
of Nebeker may require some Official action
by Governor Wells when he reaches the
city. A good many people look upon 1t as
a huge political joke.

The Chinese minister has received a dis
patch from the viceroys OF the southern
provinces of China making an appeal for
the opening Of peace negotiations without
further delay. They represent that pro-
longation of the present unsettled condition

parties concerned. Minister WI has not re-
ceiyed the edict from Shanghai appointing
the viceroys of Nan-King and Wu-Chang
as part Of the Chinese peace commission,
but In view of the dispatch received from
these viceroys to-day the minister has little
doubt they will serve on the commission
He says however. that 1T will not be neces-
sary for them to leave their present posts
and go to Picking, as the viceroyalties are
of too much Importance to permit their de-
parture. They will be consulted by tele-
graph and their concurrence will be secured
in all settlements and their signatures
given to the final peace agreement.
Mr.. WI says he is at a loss TO account

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept 2O.-Scrantonians
strange to relate. are the first to experience
hardship as result of scarcity of coal.
The men at the Columbus washery, out of
sympathy for the strike movement, refuse
to prepare any culm except for the electric
light plant of which the washery is part,
and this compes the trolley company TO
use unwashed culm just it comes from
the refuse heaps. Fifty per cent Of this
is incombustible, and consequently it is ex-
tremely difficult to make steam. AS re-
suit all the heavy cars were taken off the
lines throughout the city and valley. and
smaller ones, jammed to the dashboards,
were able to barely creep when ascending
grades. Trips that ordinarily require twen-
ty minutes could not be made in better
time than one hour on runs having heavy
grades.
Scranton also has the distinction of hav-
ing the first operator to sign the union
scale. He is Michael Gibbons, who con-
ducts small working in South Scranton,
from which he supplies some of the schools
and a few private families. He feared his
fifty men might quit at any hour, and
agreed to sign the scale If the union would
exempt his place from the strike order. The
district board of the mine workers union
told him to sign the scale and close down
his works and they would consider the
proposition. He consented. and the board
will pass on the matter tomorrow. John
Murrin, another small operator, from Car
bondale, whose place is still working, has
applied for the same treatment. He will
sign the scale tomorrow.
