MEXICAN BANKERS
 TO REFORM SYSTEM
UNIFORM BANK NOTES FOR ALL THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE RE- PUBLIC ARE BEING URGED TO PREVENT CONTEMPLATING.

Mexico City, January 26.tImportant re- forms in the bank issues of the country are under consideration by a number of the wealthiest and most influential bank ing men and financiers of the republic which will remove a number of incon- yeniences existing in the present system.
 Of the reforms proposed is the establish ment of uniformity of basis for the issue of paper currency at the various banks of issue throughout the country. numbering about 20, whereby the notes is- sued by all the banks of issue in Mexico will be of uniform dimensions, quality of paper, color, and so far as possible. engravings and other distinctive features.
 It is also said that an arrangement may be made by which the redemption of these bills will become the obligation for all banks and at par, and that all the banks of issue in the republic will be held proportionately responsible for the issue of every bank having it's own cur rency.
 This is most important measure and will favorably affect every section of the country, serving not only to facilitate commercial transactions, but to lessen the danger of counterfeiting, avoiding dis counts and giving uniform value of all paper money issued in Mexico
 A bill from Yucatan, for example, might be more easily counterfeited and passed in Sonora than would be the case if all the bills of similar denominations were of equal size and design.

FLOT|LLA ANCHORS
 AT BUENOS AYRES Given Hearty Welcome In South
 American Republic BOATS IN FINE SHAPE The Voyage Will Be Continued Thurs day and Will Join BattIeship Fleet at sanoy Point
 in Magellan.
BOATS IN FINE SHAPE

Buneos Ayres, January 26.-Attended by a division of Argentine torpedo boats, the American torpedo boat fotilla. which left Rio Janeiro January 2l en- tered the port of Buenos Ayres at S:s0 this morning, the arrival being wit messed by a great crowd of spectators. A few minutes later Commandant More no, of the ministry of marine. went aboard the Whlpple and welcomed the American officers in behalf of the gov ernment of the Argentine republic.
 The entire extent of the public docks where berths had been prepared for the visiting fleet, was lined with detachments of marines and prefecture guards. AL most up to the moment of entering port the weather had been extremely stormy but it gradually cleared and brought in creased numbers of spectators down to the harbor to give silent but hearty well come to the American sailors.
 On entering the basin, one of the tugs which. had the torpedo boats in town, was cast off, leaving the tug Enriqueta to conduct the Whipple to her moorings. Lieutenant Cone, commander of the flo- tilla, was greatly pleased with the hearty reception. He said that but for the fog, which delayed the little vessels about twelve hours outside Rio Janeiro, the passage to Buenos Ayres had been fine.
 The Americans were met by the Argen- tine fiotilla off Flores island yesterday at 2:SO p. m. The welcoming fleet salut- ed and steamed around the flotilla and for half hour there was a warm ex change of greetings.
 Commander Cone subsequently, boarded the Argentine flagship and the trip to this port was continued. The torpedo boats anchored in the roads shortly after midnight and came up to the dock as early as possible.
 Every boat in the American fiotilia is in excellent condition and made the pas sage here without hitch.
 The boats will remain here until Thurs day morning, when they will steam for Sandy Point in the Magellan straits, to join the battleship fleet.
 A number of entertainments have been arranged in honor of the visitors, which will include excursions to interesting points, a banquet to be given by the min ister of marine and receptions by the president of the republic and the Naval club. These will take up Monday and Tuesday and on Wednesday there will be reception at the American legation and number of private parties.
 All of the men on the fiotilla are in good health.
 It Is expected that the Argentine squad ron which has been ordered to meet the American battleships and escort them down the coast, will come into commu- nication with the Pacific fleet about 125 miles out from Cape Corrientes, prob ably early tomorrow morning. The bat tleships left Rio Janeiro on January %

PREMIER FRANCO
 CLOSELY GUARDED
MUCH NERVOUSNESS IS STILL FELTIN PORTUGUESE OFFICIAL cIRcLES-ARMY LEADERS ARE TRANSFERRED TO FORTRESS.

Lisbon, January 26-Although the gov ] ernment apparently is master of the situ- ation, much nervousness is manifested in official circles following the plot to over- throw the monarchy and establish Portu- gal as a republic. Premier Franco, upon the advice of the police, sleeps each night in different house, surrounded by cav- airy. The police have discovered a num- Der of places where revolvers and bombs have been stored by the conspirators, and these weapons have been seized. Troops, police and customs corps have been as- signed to barracks ready for any emer- gency.
 Although the government claims that there is no dissatisfaction in the army. the sergeants and subalterns of several reg iments have been shifted, indicating that the plot had ramifcations among the sol- diers.
 The two leaders, Borger and Chagas, have been transferred to the fortress.

WASTE IN LuMBERING.
Forests of Appalachian Mountains Are
 Greatly Depleted.

Washington, January 26.-(Specfal.)- The forests of the Southern Appalachian mountains have been ,cut so eagerly for the valuable hardwoods they contain that very little virgin timber is left, and about S5 per cent of the area is second growth.
 The drain on these forests by many in- dustries is immense. The lumbermen are going over the land for the third time. First they took the oaks that were suited for barrel slaves. Now they are after whatever merchantable trees are left such as birch, chestnut and gum.
 Moreover these forests have been, and still are, logged very wastefully. Nearly three-quarters of the timber cut for ties is wasted. Double or even treble the number of ties now cut could readily be secured from the same area without injury to the forest By simply taking all the suitable trees, 125 ties could be cut from an acre which now yields only 60, and if all the wood in the trees were fully util- ized, TO additional ties per acre could be secured.
 With mine timbers the story is the same. Fully 40 per cent of the timber handled in procuring them is entirely wasted.
 Finally, fires are injuring the produc- tiveness of the Appalachian forests by running over the ground and killing young growth.
 Circular 11S, just published by the forest service, discusses the whole question of managing to better advantage the second growth forests of the Appalachian region. This publication can be obtained of the forester at Washington.

scarlet. they shall be made white as snow. and if they be red as crimson they shall be made white as wool"
 The New DIspensation.
 Thus Jehovah spake in the old law. Let us turn to the new dispensation. When the fullness of time was come, Gods mercy stood incarnate in the person of the Christ, Gods son, and where in all the pages of history is mercy like unto His? His gospel is largely biography of sinners. The scrlbes and pharisees sneered and scoffed because He associ- ated with the dowtrodden. because He ate with publicans and sinners. How did He answer? By the wonderful par ables of the good shepherd, the lost sheep, and the prodigal son.
 Is there anything more touching than the scene where the poor woman taken in sin is brought before Him? The ac- cusers watched maliciously to see those lips, that ever uttered blessings, pro- nounce the dread sentence of death by stoning Christ read their thoughts. He looked at them calmly, then said: He that is without sin among you let him caSL the ITSI SlOHtt dllu HuCHs OiiO pS one they went abashed away: Hath any man condemned thee?' "No one. Mas ter." Neither will l. Go, sin no more. ,"
 Another example. There lived in His day in the holy city woman whose womanhood had been degraded by life of sin. In the midst of her excesses she heard of the Savior, how He was all love, all compassion, all gentleness for sinners, such as she. A great resolve arose in her heart. She would seek the Christ and see if even, for her. pardon might be. She sought Him. She found Him at the table of a pharisee. Unde- tered by the scorn of the righteous. by the shrinking aside of some, by the cruel look moro than word or blow of others, she knelt at His feet. She bathed His feet with her tears and wiped them with her golden hair, and not a pharlsee of all those present but thought He would spurn her from where she lay. Surely, they thought, this man is prophet, and knows she is sinner. The Savior looks pityingly down. Many sins are forgiv- en her because she hath loved much. Go, sin no more," and she went and she sinned no more, and she became the conn panion of His immaculate mother and on Calvary with that sorrowful mother and beloved St. John, she stood beneath the dying Sayior's cross.
 Are we not sin-stained, too? Yes, and Christ is as pitiful now as then; but we must do our part. We must repent and be sorry as Magdalene was. We must pray as the leper prayed. If we do so, the gentle, merciful Christ will deal with us as with them; will forgive our sins; will remove the leprosy of sin; will make us whole. and give us His mercy peace and love.
