SUPPLY OF CORN IN
 MEXICO IS SHORT

Laredo, Tex, October 10.-In order to replenish the depleted supply of corn In the republic of Mexico the duty on that cereal has been temporarily rescinded.
 Owing to the prevalence of severe drouths throughout the corn belt or north- ern Mexico, followed later by unprece- dented floods, both the growing crops ana the supplies of corn in storage have been reduced to such an extent as to entail high prices and actual suffering. ITO op- yiate extortionate prices the Mexican government has promulgated an order temporarily admitting corn from the limited States free of duty The staple will be admitted free as long as necessity demands and the duty will then be reim- posed. .o
 Many merchants in Mexico are teie- graphing to dealers in the United States ordering large shipments of corn, so as to avail themselves of the free entry or the cereal.

WELFARE OF TAFT
 WILL BE GUARDED

New Orleans, october 10.-If the system inaugurated by the Chicago police and followed more or less industriously by lbe police of all other large cities which Pres ident Taft has recently visited, is carried out, it is probable that a very hard time will be experienced by the pick pockets and other criminals who are fol- lowing closely in the Presidents wake
 This was made evident here today, when a special department was established in connection with the detectives school of instruction. Through the courtesy of the Chicago police department, the names, pictures and records of all pickpockets, thieves and dangerous characters arrested in that city during the Presidents visit formed '1esson No. l..
 Present indications are that by the time the President finally reaches Washington many of the light-ingered gentry who started on the tour with him will be serv- ing time on chain gangs in the west and SOuth.

 The circulars point out that the weak re ss of- China in q military sense makes 1t inr ossible for her to resent this treatment except by a boycott, and call upon the people of China generally to refuse all

He who conquereth himself is greater than he who taketh a city, and from 1t the President drew the lesson that popular government must always be failure unless it is based upon sound common sense and the self-restraint that goes to make the good loser. He drew an analogy between the American people in this respect and those people who In their attempts at self-government follow an election with revolution.
 On his way here President Taft att tended morning service at the Presby- terian church at Merced.

Yosemite, Cal, October 10.-(SpeciaL)- Hot, tired, perspiring, but declaring that "this is the best that we have seen since we started the trip" President Taft reached the Sentinel hotel, on the floor of the Yosemite valley. at 11;45 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The four-mile walk, down a descent of 3200 feet, was made in exactly three hours. the hotel at Glacier Point having been left behind at 8t0 in the morning. Coaches met the party at the foot of the trail and carried them over the 15-minute ride to the Sentinel, where a squad of Indians, regular cavalrymen, cowboys and mountaineers gave the President a rousing welcome to the valley and he shook hands all around before retiring to his room for rest.
 When the President finally reached Yosemite he was so bathed in perspira tion that he had scarcely a dry stitch of clothing on him. What was worse, there was no dry clothing at hand for the chief executive to wear. As many an- other man has done in like circumstances, the President simply took off his wet clothing and went to bed, trusting to
