DIAZ ASKS
FOR Peace
HAS ALREADY SENT COMMISSION
TO TREAT WITH MEXICAN
REFOLUTi0NISTS
MORE Fighting EXPECTED

Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 5.-(Via FL
Paso, exas.)-Reports Of the battle
lat PadernaIes last Tuesday have been
confirmed Some Of the Mexican reg
Eiars, who We're taken prisoners, went
over to the rebels. The Mexican sol
diers in the fight were those who
left the train at San Andreas on No
vember 22nd, when the train was
wrecked. They had been living in
the country and hunger drove them
to Padernales, where the fight occur
red. It is thought the revolutionary
commandant at San Andreas is Fran
cisco Valdez y VanqueZ, an assayer
of chihuahua.
Governor Jose Maria Sanchez ex-
poets further active fighting in Chihua-
hua State.
A special train bearing a peace
commission of four members appoint
ed by President Diaz, left here Fri
day night with flag of truce flying
from the engine. The commissioners,
prominent citizens of the city, go to
discuss with the revolutionary leader
ways and means of bringing the pres
ent disturbances to an end.
| The news of the appointment of
commission occasioned considerable
surprise. as it is said to be the first
time in 80 years that the government
has sought thus to treat with insur-
rectOrS.
The departure of the commission
had not effect on military prepara-
tions.
While waiting for reinforcements,
| the local troops have been thoroughly
inspected and the work of gathering
supplies for campaign proceeds
daily. Water must be carried over
much of the route.
! Scouts are in the hills daily. Occa-
! sionally they catch sight of small
scouting parties of the enemy, but
there has been no fighting since Tues
day at Pardenales.
Forty of the government troops,
Iwho were in the fight and who es-
capped, are reported as enterting this
city by a circuitous route to avoid
1.-THE insurrectos.
I The troops of the government forces
from Sonora marching in the direction
of Guerrero, which is now held bv
regulars, were reported at Ratopilas 9
to-day. They still have about ten days
marching ahead Of them, providing
they do not encounter the revolution
lists before reaching the destination.
/ Heavy patrols march nightly
through the streets here. This is
r: largely a precaution against revOlu,
Itionary svmpatbizers within the city
as there is no doubt that. should IT,
insurgents succeed in gaining the
city, they would find many ready to
4 join them.

BIG PROJECT
IS HELD Up
DRAINAGE OF MaTTh5IUSKEET
LAKE HAS BEEN POST
.P0NEB
LUMBER CD. BLOCKS IT

Raleigh, n. c., Dec. 5.-It is learned
since the meeting of the State Board
of education and it's agreement to
yield TO the demand Of the Norfolk
Southern Railway through the Roper
Lumber Company, that, there be delay
in the Mattamuskeet drainage
scheme until there is additional inves-
tigation into the practicability Of the
present plans and specifications for
the drainage work, that but for this
tie-up in the transaction the State
Board would have, on that day, De-
cember 1, sold its entire interest, Mat
tamuskeet 1akebed and all, in the
drainage to northern capitalists, who
assumed the place Of the States in
terest in the undertaking and pro-
posed to give ample guarantee for the
perfection Of the drainage undertak-
ing This includes a sound or sea-
level canal that would reduce the lake
water several feet and dykes, with an
immense water pit in connection with
which there would be immense pump
ing plants that would run constantly
and complete the drainage, at the
same time maintaining a system of
irrigation in seasons during which
such might be needed. The estimated
cost of the drainage is $500,000
Now, unfortunately, it seems, it
looks like the opposition to the under
taking is out for a permanent tie-up
of the present scheme, at least, and
that the deal that the State Board of
Education had thought it had about
consummated with prospects to add a
good snug sum to the State Educa-
tional Fund and transfer the drainage
undertaking under guarantee to pri-
vate promoters, with unlimited capi-
tai to put the underta king through, is
eliminated. AS some one expressed it
it looks like the promoters of the
States interest in the MattamuSkeet
enterprise had its hands tider and il
has been roundly criticised around
Capitol Square. In fact, members Of
the State Board do not deny this sta
tus of the undertaking. but it is point
ed out that the State f1icers We're pro
ceeding with the utmost caution and
with view to the conservation of the
best interests of both the State and
private holders of lands in the Malta
muskeet drainage district. Develop
meAts indicative of the object of ths
opposition to the scheme that the
State Board had all but consummated
are being awaited with great inter

Bills In Shape For Early Action.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-The
opening of the short session of Con-
gress next Monday will find appropria-
tion bills in shape for earlier action
than in any recent years. The appro-
pria ton bills must all originate in the
House of Representatives, and the
committee of that body are now al
work upon them, with prospects OF
having several of the big bills ready
for the first week of the session.
The River and Harbor Committee
of the House began work yesterday on
Its $40. 000, ,6oO appropriation bill, and
Representative Alexander, of New
York, chairman of the committee, ex
poets to have the measure ready foI
the House within week. The Indian
Affairs Committee began considera
ton of the Indian appropriation bill
to-day This measure will carry about
So, 100000 for the support of Indians
jand their institutions. Represe
Burke, chairman of the committee, ex
poets it ready for consideration on
Monday
Many of the separate appropriation
bills originate with the ApprOpr1a
tions Committee, of which Representa-
tive TaWney is chairman. Sub-com
mittees of that body are now at work
upon the bill, which carries funds for
the Legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the government, and the
measure providing funds for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Both of these will
be ready for the House before the
Christmas recess.
The usual activity upon the appro
pria ton bills is due to desire to
have them before the House as early
as possible, so that there will be
ample time for their consideration.

TAFT Makes
0VERTtIRES
SEEKS TO UNITY INSURGENTS
WITH REGULARS IN CONFER
ENCE 0E LEADERS
LITTLE IIEADWAY MADE

Washington, Dec. 5.-Ln what was
said to be an initial effort to bring
about a semblance of harmony in the
divided Republican forces of the
United States Senate, President Taft
invited number Of the regular and
progressive leaders to the White
House Saturday.
The President did not attempt to
bring the Senate leaders together in
one big conference. There were never
more than two in his private Office at
one time. He saw Senators Cummins
land Borah together and then had a
private word with each alone.
In insurgent circles it was said that
the preliminary conference with the
President had given no definite prom
ise of success.
A prominent member of the proges-
sive wing in the Senate was asked
for an expression as to the outlook for
bringing the regulars and insurgents
together.
He shook his head.
Such thing is possible he de-
clare, "but it certainly is not prob
able.''
This opinion was echoed by others
At the White House it was not ad-
mitted that President Taft was max
/ ing a special effort to bring the insur
gents, OF progressives, into line.
Senator Cummins' call at the
White HOuee was the first he made
there in over year. He made no eff
fort to conceal the fact that his pres
ence a. the executive offices was due
entirely to the Presidents specific in
vitation. AS he was leaving the White
/ House, with a copy of the Presidents
message in his hands, the Senator re
marked upon the fact that it had beer
a long time since he had visited the
Executive offices.
'But YOU probably will come often
! er in the future?" was suggested
4 wouldn't predict that too strong
i ly," replied the progressive leader
with a smile. 81 am always glad t6
lccme however,"
! The insurgents Of both houses o-
Congress probably will hold a eau
Gus before deciding on any course o
action Their tone was hardly con
cil:atcry.

WORRIED OVER CHINESE RIOTS.
State Department Fears More Serious
Consequences.

Washington, April 26.-There Is
concern at the State Department over
the Chinese riots in Human Province
because of the possibility that the
trouble may rapidly spread at any
moment.
So far. the last official advices, re.
ceived Friday, do not picture the dan
ger as so great as do the last press
reports. Nevertheless, even the of,
fetal advioes indicate thai the
chances that the riotlng may be snuff
ed out without serious consequences
are not more than halfway encour-
aging,
It is realized here that information
in Chinese provinces travels with light
ning-like rapidity by the mouth-to
mouth method of transmission. So,
with flaming anti-foreign posters In
the streets of Chang Sha, it is readily
understood what effect this may have
on the neighborfng districts.
In case the riots spread, it is be
lieved the foreign nations will stand
together with the Chinese Govern
ment to help bring about order and
prevent ~bloodshed as was the case dur
ing the Boxer troubles.
