Troops to Lower California.
BY Associated Press.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 3.-Abram Con
zels, elected yesterday, by the Chihua-
hua legislature, as provisional COVER
nor, at Madero's dictation. declared to-
day that federals and insurrectos would
be sent jointly to Lower California to
Isubdue the socialist insurrection. He
said permission had been granted by
the United States for the troops to go
through New Mexico and Arizona by
train.

occupants.

While Anglo-German rivalry con
tinues, the bitterness is disappearing
largely due to the efforts of the mem
bers of the royal families and men oil
influence in the political and CONNER
cial world. The visit of the German
Crown Prince to Indian and his whole
hearted expressions of admiration OF
| British rule and of the Englishmen he
met, had a good effect in helping to
overcome the anti-German prejudice
| here, a movement which has been tax.
en- step further by the visit of the
Emperor and his family. The visit
reminded the British public that the
Emperor is closely related to their
own royal family, and his attentions to
the young Prince of Wales, in whom
every Englishman takes a great pride,
were very warmly appreciated. On the
whole distinct improvement can be
noticed in the feelings of the British
people toward Germany, even if the
governments have not succeeded in
bringing the points of view of the two
foreign Offices into harmony on world
politics.
London, in late years, has become
rather well acquainted with the prime
ministers of the over-sea dominions.
Sir Wilfred Laurier has attended all
the colonial and imperial conferences
and other big functions since he came
into power in Canada in 1895; Sir
Joseph Ward, premier of the Dominion
of New Zealand is almost as well
known. Louis Botha, who led an army
again the British forces in South
Africa and now comes to England as
premier of the federation of South
Africa, was here for the imperial de-
fense conference and was made much
of.
The only premier who is attending
his first conference is Andrew Fisher,
prime minister of the Commonwealth
of Australia, the picturesque figure in
the present gathering of oversee
statesmen. Mr.. Fisher was one of sew
eral sons of a poor Scottish miner,
every one of whom has made his mark
The youngest of the family Mr.. Fisher,
started as did the others, as a pit boy
in coal mine at Kilmarnock, when
ten years of age. At 20 he was labor
leader and at 23 he was "blacklisted"
for his activities as an organizer This
drove him in the early eighties to Aus
trala where he went to work in the
gold fields. Less than ten years later,
in 1898, he was elected to the Queens
land legislature, and in 1901 took his
seat in the first federal parliament:
became cabinet minister in 1904 and
in 1908 became the first labor prime
minister of any British parliament.
His party was defeated the next year
but was returned to power in 1910.
The first labor premier" has achiev-
ed distinct popularity with all parties
in England. He announced upon his
arrival that he had no intention of
interfering in home politics and in his
first public speech he made it clear
that, while he was one with the Brit
ish labor leaders in the matter of so
eial reform, he differed very materially
from them on the question of imperial
defense.

Asks State Department
For Report on Americans

London, June 3.-The American Con
sul-General ]. L. Griffith, asked by tn,
state department for a report on tn,
number of Americans resident in Lon
don has given an estimate of abou
1000 but candidly says this is simply
a guess. Several attempts have beer
made to determine the number OF
Americans living permanently here bu
never with any great success. Only
375 Americans are today registered a
the consulate general. American di
rectories have also been published but
they contained even fewer names anG
those only of the well-known Ameri
cans.
Mr.. Grifith's estimate is considered
quite conservative. Americans are
found in every walk of life in London
They are, however, widely scattered
In the first place there are a great

don, but only small proportion of
these are members of the American
society of kindred organizations and
the others, not generally known to
their fellow-countrymen, are swallow
ed up in the great vortex of London s
population of seven millions.
Another element adding greatly to
the American population of London is
the large number of young men en-
ployed as managers or experts, in
British business houses and factories.
This is particularly true of electrical
concerns. The headquarters staff of
the United Railways, which controls a
great underground system, miles of
tubes and connecting street railways,
is composed for example largely of
Americans, while the Central London
Railway, the original tube, now being
extended in several directions, is being
extended in several directions, is be-
ing developed under the guidance of
an American Then the estimate must
include the Americans of means. total
ling many hundreds, who are making
their homes here, and last but not
least, the American women. who have
married Englishmen.
In addition to London almost every
city of any Importance in the country
has an American colony, and outside
the cities many country house has
an American for owner or tenant

crowds will cheer more enthusiastieal-
ly tha nthey do the German Emperor.
but there is nobody they will turn out
in greater numbers to see.
Ordinarily there must be a pageant
of some sort to attract the Londoner.
During the recent visit of the German
Emporer and Empress and their daugh-
ter, however, they were greeted where
ever they appeared, by thousands of
spectators, many of whom stood for
hours simply to see the visitors. On
the night of the gala performance at
Drury Lane, which did not conclude
until half an hour after midnight, the
Strand and other streets through which
the Royal carriages passed, were lined
with people, although the carriages
were closed and only the merest
glimpse could be caught Of the royal

ELECTION CALLED
FOR OCTOBER |
Madero is the Only One Certain to
Be on the BaIlot--Reyes
May Run.

Mexico City, June By official de.
cree issued yesterday by Provisional
President De La Barra. special pres
idential election was called Electors
will be chosen October /, and these
will select the successor of Porfirio
Diaz, Sunday. October Is. Governors
are instructed to define and publicly
announce, prior to June 30, electoral
districts in their states and territories,
using the census of 1910.
De La Barra fully realizes the re-
sponsibility he has assumed, and he
does not underestimate the difficulties
to be encountered in holding open cleo
tions in Mexico.
Election returns may be slow in COM
ing in, and 1t 1t not improbable, admit
representatives of both the old gov
ernment and the new, that in a few
districts the result will be tangled.
It remains for the parties to select
their candidates. AT present Fran
cisco |. Madero, Jr., is the only man
whose name is cetrain to be on the
ballot General Reyes will be here
soon, and 1t is evident that his COM
ing has made some of the Maderists
nervous. The general has not said
he will not be candidate. General
Reyes friends are not so numerous
as they were before he was sent out
of the country.
That any effort will be made to pre-
vent him from reaching the capital is
not expected, but stories of plots, both
In his favor and against him, are heard
daily This afternoon a newspaper
published a story that army officers
had planned to proclaim him president
and use their forces to place him at
the head of the nation.
Jose Yves Limantour expects to
leave Mexico for France June 70. He
will carry with him letter signed by
many business men in the capital.
The only serious report received is
that from Tapachula, near the Guate-
malan frontier. There anarchy is said
to prevail. Mobs' are reported in pos
session, the old authorities gone and
none named to replace them. The
American consulate has been used as
refuge by many frightened Chinese.
The Chinese legation has lodged with
the Mexican government claim for
two million pesos. alleging this amount
of damage was incurred by Chinese
residents of Torreon. The Chinese
representatives reports show 30S Chi.
nese were killed in Torreon and fifty
in the surrounding country.
The war department today sent or
ders to General Villar to evacuate
Chihuahua. Peaceably the revolution

Governors of the states have been
instructed to ascertain the number of
families whose heads fell in the revo-
luton on either side and to report as
soon as possible to De La Barra The

STEEL BONUS Is SMALLER
On Profit Sharing Plan Employees
May Buy $4,000 Shares.

e. II. Gary. chairman of the United

terday that the annual bonus had been
distributed among the employees of the
corporation. and that they would also re-
ceiye the privilege Of subscribing TO 5000
shares Of stock OF the corporation at a
little lower than the market price under

force since 1895 This set at rest rumors

by the government. the Steel Corporation
would not make its usual distribution to
is employees this year. The announcement
is usually made before Christmas.
The amount Of the bonus distributed for
1911 Judge Gary said. was S,4j0GO, which
was 81 10000 less than was distributed last
year. The amount Of the bonus IS deter
mined by the annual earnings of the cor
poration so that Il would appear that the
earnings this year must have been con-
sderably smaller than in 1910. The bonus
generally consists Of part cash and part
common stock. Las: year it was 60 per cent
stock and 40 per cent cash
The amount OF stock 10 which the en-
ployes can subscribe this year is also
about one-half Of what they were offered
last year. The price at which the en-
ployes will be allowed TO subscribe to the
300 shares Of stock has not yet been
fixed and no details regarding the offer
