doubtedly will be provoked by this
daring measure.
It is now but a step to dictatorship.
The texts of the two ukases, both OF
which are addressed in the stereOtyped
form to the ruling senate, are as fOt-
lows:
According to paragraph 105 OF the
fundamental law we order the imperial
parliament dissolved and fix the time
for the convocation Of the new elected
parliament for March 5, 1907.
"Regarding the time for the new
elections to the imperial parliament

Washington, July 21-The closing
cnapter OF the peace negotiations De-
tween Honduras. Guatemala and Sal
vadOr was marked by the exchange of
congratulations between the partici-
pants IN the efforts TO terminate the
dangerous state of affairs in Central
America. The plenipotentaries them
selves sent cable messages to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to President Diaz,
of Mexico, as we'll as to their hom /,
governments, and President Roosevelt
and President Diaz returned graceful
acknOWled cement of these tributes and
then exchanged personal messages of
congratulations. The underlying eX-
preston was that the Marblehel i
Peace pact would be historical in Cen
trail America, as it certainly would 20
far to prevent any hostile collision be
tween the small sister republics for
many years to come, constituting as II
does, a warning to each that the great
northern republics have very strong
and selfish interest in the maintenance
Of peace at their doors. The complete
agreement was very gratifying to the
officials here, particularly in view of
the happy effect it is likely TO have
upon the Rio conference just beginning.
The following are the articles Of
peace signed on the Marblehead:
Article |. Peace established; with
draWals of armies within three days;
disarmament in eight days.
Article | |. Exchange of prisoners,
the releast of political prisoners; gen
eral amnesty recommended.
Article II |. Vigilance of emigrado5
in order to prevent abuse of asylum.
Article | v To negotiate treaty o.:
friendship, commerce and navigation
within two months.
Article V. Any difficulties over
treaty and all future concrete COM
plants between the three countries
shall be- submitted to arbitration by
the president of the United States and
the president of Mexico.
Article VI This treaty made with the
moral sanction of the mediating naJiors
and others assisting at the conference,
namely Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The recognition in the articles Of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua as cOnstruc-
tive parties to the peace conference IS
regarded by state department officials
as being very significant in that il
really makes all five Central American
governments parties TO the peace he
gOtiatiOns and will prevent any COM
plants which these governments might
offer as to the terms had they not
been recognized in the conference.

,one Of the party of fifty-two American
men, women and children, who left
Mexico because of anti-foreign thea 5
and passed through New Orleans Iare
last night en- rOuts to Cincinnati said
One of the most alarming features
Of the situation is the fact that the
Mexican servants have joined in the
antl-torelgn movement and the wives
ct the foreigners are in mortal terror
of their families being poisoned.
L was reluctant to leave the country
but | simply could not resist the plead
lngs Of the members of my family. [
am now taking them to our former
home in Ohio.
&" The anti-fOreign movement is
strongest in the northern and central
portions of Mexico where the natives
have been wrought up to a high pitch
Of excitement by agitators and agen S
Of revolutionary societies.
The educated class of Mexicans is
not in sympathy with the anti-foreign
movement, but is in hopeless minor
ALS. ue ARMY IS recruited from lQ6
lower classes and cannot be relied upsn.
The uprising is scheduled to occur in
September and it will probably be
necessary for the United States to
throw an army across the border to
protect American citizens.'
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Mexico City, July 21.-Reports tele-
graphed from various points on the
United States border regarding an al
legged plot for a demonstration against
foreigners in Mexico on September Is,
Mexican independence day, today were
said by Mexican officers to be unneC-
asarily alarming The internatiOn-
al peace Of Mexico is said to be asSur-
ed. There has been nU conference Of
state governors, it is said, called at this
capital to plan method to quell
threatened revolution.
It is denied by federal officers that
preparations are making for an anti
foreign demonstration on the part OF
Mexican Labor unions. The govern
ment protects WOrkingmen in Organlz-
ing for mutual aid ana the promotion
Of their interests, but has taken mea-
sures to prevent suCr organizations
from transcending the bounds c. pub

The Mexican officers ridicule the
alarm of foreigners Grd assure all
classes Of their ability 70 continue the
reign of law and order.

| Washington, July 21.-There IS no
| doubt that the prices bid yesterday for
| the issue Of $4,000, 900 Panama bonds
! were highly satisfactory to the treas
ury officials and Secretary Shaw in
speaking Of the matter today said that
he was especially gratified at the pa
! triOtic spirit manifested by a great
many Of the bidders. They were will
| ing, he said, to subscribe for the bonds
| even at higher rate, in order to show
their appreciation of the govern
ment's efforts to build the canal in the
| shortest possible time Secretary
Shaw said that quite number of pri-
Vate persons had put in bids for COM
paratively larger amounts and it
might take several days to ascertain
whether all Of these parties would be
able to pay for the bonds. The secre-
tary also said that he should immedi-
ately make partial allotments to the
apparently successful bidders covering
make the final aIlotments when the
whole schedule had been adjusted. This
secretary will at once designate as
government depositaries all national
banks whose bids were s103.5O or bet
ter irrespective Of whether their bids
were successful or not and in this way
he expects to put into circulation at
! least 100000 900 This will enable the
secretary to meet any money strin-
gency this fall with another distribu-
tiOn of 0000 900 or less as the situa
ton may require. For this present
deposit of S20,000.000 the secretary will
require the deposit OF government
bonds as security. Mr.. Robinson of
the firm of Fisk and Robinson, of New
York, the largest and Mr.. Ayers Of the
| Merchants National Bank of Phlladel-
phia, the second largest buyer had a
conference today in reference to the
price they would ask for such bonds as
they did not wish to retain for them
selves, and 1O4.4, plus 3 per cent, in
terest after August 1st. was agreed
upon AS the bonds pay 2 per cent,
the buyer will have 70 pay one per
cent. interest after August 1st. The
prices is a narrow one.
Treasury officials ascertained today
that one bid for s5,000.OOO at 1O3.8bI
had been misplaced. = was founo
among bids Of a lower figure. Inc
discovery Of this bid will fix the line
between the successful and unsucceS5-
full bidders at about s103.S5. The bid
Is one Of several that were filed by
Samuel Byerly Of New York.
Among the successful bidders were
Arthur r. Butler, Newington, Va,
