MEXICAN CONSUL SAYS
REPUBLIC is PEACEFUL.

Laredo, Texas, Dec. 1S.-W1th the
exception of the Guerrero district,
Mexico is peaceful today. according
to dispatch from Enrique Creel.
Mexican minister Of foreign relations.
In a telegram to Miguel E. Diebold,
Mexican consul at Laredo, Minister
Creel describes the routing of the
revolutionary forces near Padernales
several days ago, and continues
With this new defeat it is prob
able the balance of the revolutionary
forces will form into scattered groups
which will be tenaciously pursued by
the federal forces until subdued.
Peace prevails unaltered in every 9TH
er part of the republic"
The government is energetically
pushing its campaign against the
enemy and is fully able to cope with
the situation said Consul Diebold, in
discussing the situation.
The alleged inactivity of General
Navarro, as previously reported, was
due to the fact that he did not wish
to pursue the so-called pronunciados
into the mountains, not desiring un-
neccarily to jeopardize the lives of his
soldiers. He, therefore, followed a
strategic plan which would draw the
enemy out into the open for an en-
gagement rather than pursue the in
surrectos into an impregnable strong
hold.
"rhe country in that vicinity is the
Switzerland of America and contains
many deep ravines, high mountains,
and recesses such as in former years
offered safety to bandits and afforded
such adequate protection that fifty
men could effectually Withstand an
onslaught of a thousand soldiers 1t
is because Of the rough nature of the
country that General Navarro chose
to await the time when he could en-
counter the enemy in open country.
I'm my opinion, the alleged revolu-
tionary movement is now effectively
out. OF course, minor
guerilla warfare may be carried on
for short time. but the ultimate su-
premacy Of the government forces is
undoubted."

ARIZONA MINES
YELL D OVER

SAYS GOVERNOR SLOAN
Expects Election on Constitu-

to the People,
LBy Morning journal speeIaI Leassa wIreI

Washington, Dee, 1S.-The cleo
tion on the adoption or rejection of
the constitution for Arizona prob
ably will be held by January Is,
1911, and il adopted the constitu-
ton may be in the hands OF the
president and congress for approval
before the end of the present session,
according to the annual report of
Richard +. Sloan, territorial gov
ernor Of Arizona.
If this program is carried out" he
says, there is every reason to ex-
pect the new state government will
present fiscal year" Discussing the
matter further. Governor Sloan said:
1--WE anticipate such benefits from
admission that the prospect of any
considerable delay or the possibility
that the constitution which may not
be approved are matters of grave
concern to the people of the terri
tory"
Prosperity continues in the terri
tory, according to the report. Crops
have been good, especially in the ir-
rigated sections. Prices for farm
products, he says, have a tendency to
increase, while the prices Of land un-
der ditch with water rights also have
increased somewhat.
The output of the mines of the
territory, including copper, gold, sill
yer, lead and zine, for the year 1903
amounted to gross value of $42,-
946,745, substantial increase over
the preceding year
Governor Sloan recommends that
congress be requested TO make pro-
vision for the contingency which may
arise on a general admission of the
territory extending beyond the pres
ent fiscal year by authorizing the
levy Of taxes for the payment Of ex-
penses OF the territorial government
for the fiscal years 1912 and 1913
and authorizing such appropriations
as may be needed for that purpose.
Under the terms of the enabling
act, no session of the terirtoial legis-
lature may be held in 1911.

ARIzONA'S ONLY HOPE
TO REJECT CONSTITUTION

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 1S.-Governor
Sloan, who has just returned from
Washington. states his firm eonvic-
ton that there is absolutely no hope
OF statehood through ratification of
the just completed constitution for
Arizona,
There is positively no hope that
it will meet with congressional and
presidential approval said Governor
Sloan today. MY opinion is based
on a personal conference with sem
ators and representatives, both re-
publican and democratic and some
progressives. The initiative referen-
dun and recall viii not pass muster
The only hope for statehood is by
the rejection Of the constitution by
the voters Of Arizona and the CON

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wirel
Washington, Dee. iS.-Congress is
expected to adjourn wednesday for
the holiday recess and not to resume
business until January 5.
The resolution which passed the
house probably win be brought up in
the senate tomorrow. No objection
TO the program has appeared. as it is
practically corlaln that half a dozen
of the Dig supply bills viii be out of
the way by Wednesday night.
Business before both houses thus
far has not stimulated much public
interest and seats in the galleries
have gone begging. The omnibus
claims bill in the senate has failed
to attract crowds and the appropria-
tion bills in the house proved no
better magnet.
outside of the claims bill, there has
been no business before the senate ex-
Icept the Cummins resolutions to
change the rules OF the senate and
house, so as to facilitate piecemeal re-
vision of the tariff, Indications are
the resolution will be sent to the sem
ate rules committee before the recess.
The rules committee is generally
believed to be opposed TO the adoption
OF any measure which would under

The question Of legislation to create
a permanent tariff commission is at
tracing far more attention In the
house than in the senate, where there
has been disposition TO await the
outcome of conferences being held by
Representatives Longworth of Ohio,
Goode OF Iowa and Lenroot of Wis

II is said that in the house. as a
whole, there Is a general sentiment
for the enlargement of the tariff
board. and making its existence con-
tinuous FOR at teast six years. Some
favor making the life of the
commission ten years, and still others
favor tweaty years.
Most serious of all questions in
