DlAZ LEAVES MEXICO.

Mexico City, Mexico.-Guarded in
front by half regiment of the Eigh-
teenth cavalry, dismounted, and true
to death, and with six rapid fire guns
in the rear car, Porfirio Diaz left the
city secretly in a special train May 26.
The train phlled out of the Inter
oceanic staten for Vera Cruz and ar
rived there at p. m. The train was
divided into three sections. Troops
were in the first section, Diaz in the
second and artillery in the third, all
running close together. Diaz's wife
and his son, Porfirio Diaz. Jr., and the
latter's wife with three children were
on board together with few friends.
The former president left Chapul-
tepec at o'clock in the morning and
came to his home in this city. At
dawn his party dashed from the latter
residence in an automobile and with
out guards flew down side streets to
the San LaZaro station, where despite
his illness, Diaz fairly leaped aboard
the train. There were no spectators
at the station other than plain clothes
men and members of the secret sery-
ice. Diaz left Vera Cruz at night
aboard the steamer Ibarronza, bound
for France. 1t is believed he will
touch at Havana for a meeting with
General Reyes. Limantour's resigna-
ton has been accepted by De La
Barra.

BULLDOG DIES LIKE A HERO
Saves Housekeeper and TWO Daugh-
ters When Gas Pipes Spring Leak
and Then Expires.

New York City.-Slongo Strangle-
hold, bulldog, belonging to Maj.
H. X. Bird, died like a hero.
Major Birds town house is at "a West
Fortieth street. The gas pipes sprung
a big leak and the poisonous fumes
poured into the house. Slongo
Stranglehold was the first to awake
to the danger. He fought against the
black horror until he felt himself
weakening and then he crawled to
the room in which Mrs. Mcqueen, the
housekeeper, and her two daughters
were sleeping and scratched with all
his might and gave yelps of alarm.
Mrs. Mcqueen and her daughters, stu
pid from the fumes, threw open the
doors and windows and inhaled the
pure air. Slongo Stranglehold stag
gered in, collapsed and then with his
head between his paws he died.

Mexico City, Mexico.-As dramatic

dication of Porfirio Diaz from that
chair May 20. AS the Gray Eagle of
Mexico lay helpless in bed, the presi-
dent Of the chamber of deputies in a
closed room with armed guards at
the doors and a great impatient
throng awaiting outside slowly read
his resignation. No cheers from the
deputies, only a solemn impressive,
heart burning quiet greeted the read
ing of this document, at once pathetic
and dignified, an appeal that the years
to come will show that throughout
his long administration Diaz now no
longer president was always patriot,
aiming only at his peoples good.

live citizen Porflrio Diaz!" Dramati-
cally spoke Deputy Jose Aspe. The
resignation of Vice President Ramon
Corral was also read.
On May 26 in the yellow room of
the National palace, not far from the
chamber in which Citizen Porf1rio
Diaz lies i'll, Minister De La Barra
took oath of Office as provisional pres
ident of Mexico. EARLY in the after
noon great throngs, anticipating that
Diaz would abdicate, gathered around
the national palace. 1t was not a
hoisy mob. 1t was a grim faced
solemn, determined. quiet crowd.
A few minutes before p. m. the
silence was broken by the changing
cathedral bells and two cannon shots
rang out. Diaz had resigned. Tense
faces relaxed and solemnly gave way
to temporary exhuberance. The
crowd gave one mighty cheer, then all
was quiet once more. To prove, even
beyond the resignation of President
Diaz, that 1t is acting in good faith,

TO FOUND UNIVERSITY
MRS. HARTMAN WILL ESTABLISH

Great Educational Institution TO be
Monument to Memory Of Her
Late Husband.

New York City.-Mrs. Edward H.
Hartman, Americas richest wom-
an, Is to be the founder of
great university, glorious monument
to the memory of her late husband,
in the west. Some of the millions
bequeathed to her by the master rail-
road builder and increased by her
wise investments in profitable secur-
tiles are to be devoted to the art Of
higher education after the manner of
her husbands predecessor in the
Southern Pacific presidency, who
founded the Leland Stamford Junior
university at Palo Alto. 1t became
known that Mrs. Hartman, casting
about for some means of disbursing
her great fortune in a way that would
be Of benefit to the people of the coun.
try, had decided upon the establish
ment of an institution of learning as
affording the best medium for such
disbursement.
Her plans are not fully developed,
but in tentative way she has decided
to found university that will be Sec
ond to none in the country in point of
curriculum and endowment sufficient
to maintain it. The equal of Harvard,
Yale and all the great universities Of
the land 1t will be lacking in nothing
that money can supply in the way Of
equipment and teaching force and
facilities for carrying on the work of
instruction in all literary, scientific
and technical branches. Millions, as
needed, will be supplied from the Har-
riman estate to make this the greatest
educational enterprise in the world.
The institution will be given the name
of her husband and will be the Ed
ward H. Hartman university"

Though there has not yet been ap-
proved by the respective state legIs-
Iatures the constitutional reform re-
lating to no reelection, I consider II
my duty to declare, as a guarantee OF
my purpose that under no circum-
stances will accept the candidacy
for the presidency or the vice presi-
dency In the approaching election.
The happlest day of my public career
Will be that on which the shortest
time allowed by the ELECTORAL law and
the situation prevailing In the country,
| can transfer the office have today
received to the citizen the public
elects. The Mexican government, re-
spectful for the rights of other ma
tons and zealously defending her own,
will spare no effort, by means of Its
open and fair policy, as 1t has done In
the past, In order that these relations
may become more friendly every day
with mutual advantage In and In ac-
cord with the principles of lnterna-

HAS SURPLUS OF
OVER 100000
POSTAL DEPARTMENT SELF SUP
PORTING FOR FIRST TIME
IN THIRTY YEARS.
RETURNS 100000 TO TREASURY
Deficit of More Than Seventeen and
one-Half Millions Inherited by
Present Administration
Is Wiped Out.

washington, D. Cit is officially
announced here that the postoffice de-
partment is now self supporting for
the first time in 80 years. The postal
success not having need of the $3,-
100000 set aside from public funds
for the department has returned that
sum to the treasury. The official
statement given out says in part: AT
the present time there is postal sur.
plus of more than S1,000,000 and un-
less the expenses during the next
month should prove extraordinary the
surplus will be still greater for the
year. This condition Is little less than
remarkable when 1t Is considered that
the present administration inherited a
deficit of more than seventeen and
one-half millions, the largest in the his
tory of the postal service.
Except for the reforms in the f1nan-
cial system of the postoffice depart
ment recently instituted it would not
be possible to make this refund of
100000 to the secretary Of the
treasury even though the revenues
for the current year have exceeded
the expenditures. An accounting plan
which was adopted about a year ago
insures the prompt deposit in the
treasury of postal funds not immedi-
ately required for disbursement at post
Offices, thus making available for use
by the department several millions,
that under the old practice would be
tied up in postoffices. Under the old
system it required a surplus of nearly
s10,000,0OO to finance the postal serv-
ice. The $3,OOO,OO0 Mr. Hitchcock re-
turns with the feeling that the postal
revenues will be more than sufficient
to defray the expenses of the postal
service during the present year."

TO DISSOLVE STEEL COMBINE
Civil Suit May be Instituted, Accord

to Attorney General.

Washington, D. C.-According to
statement by an official close to the
attorney general, civil suit to dis
solve the steel trust will be instituted
by the department of justice within
the next SIX months. The question
of criminal action against the officers
of the corporation is also understood
to be under consideration. The Off
cials are still studying the question
whether former President Roosevelt's
sanction of the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Co. by the trust
will be bar to criminal proceeding
Much depends upon this point. The
testimony given the house committee
investigating the steel trust by John
w. Gates is already in the hands of
the department.
