Washington, May 16.-Charges that
Democratic members of the House
committee on rules were seeking to
usurp functions of caucus by nom

Rep. Fitzgerald. chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, with having
made an "Unwarranted assumption of
authority" for the rules committee.

TAFT AND CABINET
Discuss Government Policy in Dealing
With Trusts.

Washington, May 1.-THE govern
ment's policy in dealing with trusts"
and combinations of capital. as it must
be shaped in the light of the supreme
courts decision in the Standard Oil
Co. case. was discussed by President
Taft and his cabinet today.
Undoubtedly the action of the court
in recognizing and legalizing "a rea-
sonable restraint" of interstate COM
merce. opens new field of litigation in
the governments war upon monopolies
and the future policy of this and other
administrations may hang much upon
that point. President Taft has declin-
ed to express any opinion until he
could go over the courts finding with
Attorney General Wickershaln.

Mexico City, May 16.-The force of
Federal troops which was being rushed
to Pachuca, the capital of the state of
Hidalgo, turned back this afternoon on
orders from Mexico City. The rebels
have imprisoned Gov. Rodriguez and
named Joaquin Gonzales provisional
governor. The rebels in their efforts
to restore order killed 40 rioters
The City of Pachuca is quiet this
afternoon, but business is at a stand
still. All of the banks have been
wrecked though the vaults are still
intact. The state records and other
governmental documents have been
burned.
joaquin Gonzales, the citizen who
has been named provisional governor
by the rebels has been imprisoned by
the government. The rebels stormed
the jail and succeeded in librating the
prisoners. The governor later was cap
tured in the office of the JEFF Politico
and now is held a prisoner.

Mexican Rebels Gathering TO Attack
Federal Forces at Chihuahua.

Juarez. Mex, May 16.-Peace. the
fervent hope of Mexico, now torn by
rebellion. tonight seems almost an ae-
complished fact to those who are ne
gotiating settlement of the revolt.
Judge Carabajal, the Federal peace
envoy. has announced that barring
the unforeseen, a general armistice will
be declared within "a hours. Provi-
sional President Madero has declared
that mutually acceptable propositions
have at last been reached and peace
is assured.
The formal signing of a peace agree
ment will probably take place here
within the next two days. President
Diaz probably will resign within two
or three months, at any rate when
peace shall be restored.
Two principal questions have all but
been agreed upon, namely, the number
of cabinet members and governors to
be allowed the Insurrectos, and the
other conditions have for some time
been tactitly determined by both sides.
Now it will be merely a matter of
technical detail to draft the peace
terms formally and to arrange modus
operandi for the discharge of their
provisions.
The price of peace paid by the Fed
eral government is the resignation in
the near future of President Diaz and
the granting to the rebels now of three
cabinet positions and IA governorships.
The price paid by the Mexican people
is at least a thousand lives. untold suf
ferng to many hundreds of wounded,
sick and poor, the destruction of mil
lions in property and the probability
that want for many months may haunt
the inhabitants of possibly q fourth of
the republic.
Up to tonight the government had
aeceded to the Insurrecto demand for
three cabinet portfolios: namely, those
of war. justice and gobernacien, and
word was awaited from Mexico City as
to the exact number of governorships
to be allowed the rebels. Last night
the government offered 10. on the 9TH
er occasions, the government is believ-
ed to have been inclined to give IA.
There is little doubt that II will be tho
final number.
The cabinet portfolios. it il said.
probably. will be filled as follows;
Minister of war General Gonzales
Salez: minister of justice, Senior Vas
quez Tagle; minister of gobernacien.
DIR. Francisco Vasquez Gomez.
As far as the goVernorships ale con-
eerned the Insurrectos have decided
on their men for the largest and most
important of the states
