MONTEREY Is UNDER arms
Dealers Sold Entire Stock of
Firearms.
REYES is SURROUNDED BY TROOPS
Vast Opposition Meeting Has Been
i'm Part Curtailed by Authorities
Police On Hand to Check
Incendiary Speeches.

Mexico City.-The Mexico Daily
Record received special dispatch
from Monterey saying:
Not pistol or firearm of any
description could be bought in this
city Monday. Half of the men of
the town are carrying sword canes
or concealed weapons. Lodges OF
clandestine Masons, who recognize
Gen. Reyes as chief, prepared de-
monstration in his honor in the
Alameda. The government troops
will put down the slightest disorder.
Trouble is feared"
Special dispatches from various
parts OF North Mexico to different
publications in this capital all agree
that the situation throughout that
region is one of much political un-
rest. Gen. Trevino, the newly ap-
pointed commander of the Third
military zone, is acting with vigor
and decision and troops have been
moved quietly and swiftly to places
where they will be most needed in
case of serious disturbances. 1t is
not thought likely that. these latter
will occur, for the government has
the situation too well in hand. The
opposition has been beaten before
It has been allowed to make a move.
isSthe concensus of opinion in we'll
informed circles here.
The. trouble centers about the per-
soAality of Gen. Bernardo Reyes,
gcVernorsof the state of Nuevo Leon,
and former minister or war In the
cabinet OF President Diaz. A party
with branches in every state in the
union has named Reyes as candi-
date for the vice-presidency in oppo-
sition to Ramon Carroll, the in
cumbent, who has been renominate1
by the administration party.
Some time ago Reyes left Monter-
ey for the summer resort of Galeana,
some miles distant in the mountains.
Later he left that place for the
with this last move of Reyes detach-
ments of federal troops were sent
to the mountains and the latest dis
patches say that Reyes is complete
ly surrounded by federal forces.
This Is believed to be but pre-
cautionary move on the part of the
federal government
Zone OF the most dangerous ele-
ments of the situation, according to
the Record dispatch. is the alleged
called meeting of all the clandes-
tine lodges of Masons throughout the
Monterey section. 1t is claimed
that these self-styled Masons have
pledged themselves to support Rey-
es. Gen Diaz, president of the re-
public, is a thirty-third degree Ma
son of the recognized branch OF
Masonry Of Mexico. So
The special dispatches say that
no general order has gone forth
stopping the sale of firearms in Mon
terey. but that none are to be had
&C any price because the pawnshops
and stores where wea pons are kept
have sold out their entire stock.

JAMES. A. PATTEN, the man who has
had a corner on wheat and pushed the
price up of May wheat to 81 % and July
wheat TO 81 Is, has abandoned the game,
seemingly, and there has been consid-
cradle Of drop in the last few days.
just what he has made or lost cannot
be determined. If, as has been re-
ported, Patten and his clique have made
S4,0O0,0 QUO to 100000 in a few weeks,
it has come from somewhere, says the
N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Somebody
has earned it; he and his 'crowd" have
not. They have made millers pay more
for wheat before they could get more
for flour, and to lose some of the money
they win. They have made bakers pay
more for flour before they could get
more for bread and so contribute to
their gains Finally the loaf of bread
costs more and the mites of the poor
begin to be drawn to the empty places
which their suction has produced. No
body gets money without earning it
unless by some device that takes the
earnings of others without rendering
equivalent in service or benefit. The
'bulP' Spectator may say that the
price would have been adjusted to the
higher level anyway, and the paying
more for flour and for bread would
have had to come. Perhaps so, but the
gradual and normal adjustment would
have been more equitable and less
painful. The gains and losses would
have been gradually and widely diffused
and gone to those to whom they fairly
belonged When the powerful and
unscrupulous Spectator intervenes to
hasten and manipulate the process by
the control of money and credit and
the machinery of the market, he is
grabbing what belongs to others and
aggravating such losses as might have
been inevitable in attenuated form.
His way of making money is not honor
able and ought not to be reputable.
