endar for consideration this afternoon.
The section of paramount importance
is that inserted by the senate commit
tee which empowers the governor to
remove county officers for dereliction
OF duty. This feature of the bill was
defeated in the house.
The democratic members of the
house held caucus this morning on
the district attorney bill. The admfn-
istration leaders desire to defeat an
amendment which makes the office
elective in 1912 but leaves it vacant
until that time; they want the COVER
nor to be authorized to appoint the
incumbents for the next two years ~
agreement was reached and anbther
caucus is to be held.
Three appropriation bills are ex-
pected to come before the house this
afternoon. These are the general de-
ficiency bin, the bill providing for the
maintenance of state Offices and state
institutions and the general public
building bill
Both houses convened at 1880 this
afternoon.
A bill was introduced in the house
providing that the state examiner shall
examine every public Office in the
state except township offices, and re-
quiring that every city, school district
county and state officer shall submit a
financial report to the state examiner
twice a year
Governor Cruces recent message
urging economy in the matter Of pub
lie building appropriations was cited
for the first time in the senate, Mon.
day afternoon, in connection with the
bill BY Franklin and. Thomas, appro
priating sS04,975 for new buildings al

Il had no effect, however, in stopping
or delaying the progress Of that bill

Of the whole and advancing it to third
reading.
Senator Hatchett first referred to the
governors advice. He read at some
length the part Of the message dealing
with public buildings, and stated thai
it is not question Of what the state
want to do. but what it can do He
referred to the statements made wher
these schools were established. tha
their establishment was an expert
ment, and stated that he was willins
TO vote for their maintenance. but no
for more buildings for them.
In reply to his argument, Senator
Thomas, one of the authors Of the bill
asserted that the difficulty in disposin.
Of public building warrants and tn,
consequent difficulty in paying contrac
tors, which was referred to in the gov
1 ernor's message and quoted by Senator

prevailed in official circles last night
that Gen, Pasqual Orozco has abandon

four days, but Mexican military and
civil officials have not abated their
vigilance
No definite knowledge-is obtainable
here as to the exact location OF
Orozcos forces. Mexican officials are
inclined to credit the report that the
insurrecto chieftain has retired to
samalyuea, his supply camp. to effect
his long-delayed iuncture with Gen.
BIanco's 700 troops Contradictory adj

that he was Joined early yesterday by

As to his immediate plans of cam
paign, advices are equally conflicting.

eral troops marching overland from

other states that Iuraez Is still the OBJ
