Whether the insurrecto leaders purposely

the campaign against Diaz, opposite
Eagle Pass, would be spread. or whether
the coming Of Finance Minister Liman-
tour with a reported program for con-
Citation has altered revolutionary. plans,
is a subject of some speculation here.
The federal garrison at Monterey is
said to be very weak, and from there
comes the report that the entire state of
Tamaulipas, adjoining Nuxvo Leon on the
east and extending southwark from
Brownsville along the gulf coast, is about
to join the revolution. Reports to the
American authorities indicate that Tam
aulipas is a hotbed of Instruction; that
the populace is armed and ready to re-
volt when leadership develops.
A talk with Alfonso Madero, brother of
the provisional president" concerning
the coming Of Minister Limantour, tneds
to strengthen the impression obtaining in
New York that the minister of finance re-
turns to Mexico with plans for reform to
which the revolutionary element will

No Wanton Destruction.

please call attention again. he said.
ito the fact that we have decree Of
the provisional government that there
shall be no wanton destruction of rail-
road property, and that lines of COM
munication shall not be molested unless
used against us by the DiaZ government.
We conducted the revolutionary opera
tions in Chihuahua for two months be-
fore there vas any Interference with
transportation. And when we did de-
stroy the railroads we did SO because it
was necessary in our attack on places
held by he enemy. Furthermore the pro-
visional government has declared that it
will pay for all property confiscated or
destroyed.
Alfonso Madero admitted that If the
plans to take the town Of Diaz were exc
cuted it doubtless would be necessary
for the revolutionary forces to destroy
the line of railroad south of this place
in order to obstruct the advance Of fed
eral troops.
Madero has received word from Mon
terey that two clerks employed in a COM
mercial printing house in which the Ma
dero family owns an interest have been
arrested and lodged in jail on charges
unknown
This is a sample of the injustice
against which We are fighting" said he.
For years personal liberty has not been
known In Mexico, and no man, native or
foreigner, has been secure from unlaw-
full arrest and secret execution without
knowledge Of his friends. All that we de-
personal liberty. One OF these clerks is a
Mexican and the other a Spapiard. They
are arrested simply because they work
for the Maderos."

made by Postmaster General Hitch
cock, in his annual estimates of
postoffice department expenditures,
submitted to the treasury depart
ment
According to these estimates, the
appropriations necessary to meet the
expenses of the postal service dur
ing the coming fiscal year will be
$3.50, OBS, 463, decrease of 81 3d.
TAO over the appropriations for the
current fiscal year.
The most important of these items
are those providing for a parcels
post They include $4,000 to cover
the preliminary expenses on rural
mail routes and an equal appropria-
ton to start the service in the
cities
The department believes that af-
ter the initial expenses are defray-
ed and the parcels post is in full
operation on the rural routes. it will
bring in sufficient revenue to pro-
vide a surplus that can be utilized in
paying the parcels post expenses
in the city delivery service.
An additional item of $4,000 is i'll
cluded to cover an investigation
that will make possible a final es-
innate of a general parcels post on
all railway and steamboat transpor
tation routes Hitchcock is confident
that legislation authorizing parcels
post will be secured at the coming
session of congress.
Another item included for the
first time is the $4,000 to cover ex-
periments in the transportation of
mail by aeroplane. Hitchcock believes
that under certain conditions it will
be possible to utilize the aeroplane
to good advantage in the mail ser

ADEQUATE BANK Laws
j. S. GREATEST need

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-John Claflin,
of n. B. Claflin & Co., president Of
the New York state branch OF the
New York Citizens league, which is
arousing sentiment for reform CT
the currency and banking laws 10
stop senseless panics, said today:
We are aiming TO make this move
ment national This problem con-
Germs every business man, every far
mer and every wage Garner.
The panic of 1907 was as I'M
necessary as disastrous. 1t disclosed
all the weakness CT our banking
system which all admit can be and
must be effectively corrected. The
country is still suffering from the
effects of this panic and the small
businesses are suffering more than
the large ones,
There is no legislation Of any
kind, tariff, railroad, corporation. or
of general political character
that at all equals in importance the
putting of our banking and currency
system on a sound basis. This move
ment is non.partisan and must be
kept so. The problem is too vital and
pressing to be made the football OF
party politics. 1t must not be de-
layed and diverted as the tariff mat
ter has been.
There are certain basic principles
of reform upon which we are
agreed. Further than this We want
suggestions from all sections and
all classes to the end that the RENE
dial legislation that is finally adopt
ed by congress shall reflect the
needs of the country at large.
I'VE do not advocate a central
bank doing general banking bust
ness, but do believe in what Is
called a national reserve association,
controlled and managed so as to rep
resent the democratic spirit and the
sound common sense of this nation.
When the weaknesses Of our
present system are understood and
the principles Of sound finance are
made clear to all, and We hope to
make them so, have confidence that
the legislators will devise the right
kind of laws and that the people
will want these laws enacted"
