Government Declares Terms Not
Lived Up To.

Lived Up To.
John Alexander Dowie no longer holds
title to the 10,000-acre concession from
the Mexican government. The terms were
that Dowie and his followers would erect
homes, cultivate the soil and organize
colony of Industrious law-abiding Zion
lists. The government holds that these
conditions have not been complied with
by followers of Zion and has declared the
concession forfeited. A few moderate
structures were erected and small por
ton of the land cultivated, but payments
were not met and the new settlers were
constantly wrangling among themselves
and interfering with ranch owners. After
Dowie returned to the United States some
months ago, the colony went to pieces.

suRLEsouE AT eRlDlRoN CLUB.
Governor Magoon on Red Hot Stove
Roosevelt a Guest.

Washington, Dec. with the
president and vice president, the am
bassadors from Italy, Great Britain,
Russia and Japan, the speaker Of the
house Of representatives, senators, rep
resentatives in congress and many of
the great captains OF industry present,
the twenty-third annual dinner of the
Gridiron club tonight at the New Will
lard marked the high tide Of the clubs
achievements. Satire, burlesque and
straight comedy were the dominating
notes in the most successful dinner
this famous club of Washington cor
respondents has ever given. There
were sharp contrasts, the trioute to
dead members of the club abutting
closely upon a burlesque Cuban revo-
luton and an exemplihcation Of what
happens in the lawn tennis cabinet"
which meets with the president every
day, Sunday excepted.
In the Cuban burlesque. a member
OF the club impersonated Governor
Magoon Of Cuba Sitting on a red hot
stove. he "held down the lid" while
the club selected a cabinet for him
composed of the Tame ducks" gentle
men who failed of election in Novem-
her, club members impersonating VIII
liam Randolph Hearst, who was nom
mated for governor of the island; Mr.
BabcocE, Mr.. Moody, Mr.. McCleary and
Governor Grosvenor. Mr.. Moody was
selected for the place Of trust buster
or trust matador," the Cuban revolu-
tionists insisting that Mr.. Moody was
not trust matador," but "picador,'
the difference being that matador
kills. while the picador only leases.
Probably the strongest feature of the
dinner was the Gridiron simple
speller" and dictionary" which was
issued in the form of a booklet of
some 40 pages. containing quaint spell
ings and cuts illustrating the dehni-
tons.
The initiation of two members gave
an opportunity for a quiet dig at the
war department for the discharge of
three colored companies Of the Twen-
ty-ffth infantry at Brownsville, Tex.
