One Of the Mexican Outbreaks.

WARRINGTON. July Is The situation
At Csnanea. Mexico. which appeared to
he critical yesterday was reported 70
the authorities at Washington as con-
siderably improved to-day. Upon the
reports Of trouble yesterday orders were
promptly issued by the War Department
hating the American troops that were
withdrawing from the Rio Grande OPP
posite Nogales. Consul A, v Dye at
Nogales reported TO the State Depart
ment to- day that the Federal authorities
have finally regained control at Cananea
and that the Maderist soldiers have been
confined to the barracks
Capt. D. r. T.. Casteel, commanding
the battalion OF the Sixth Cavalry
stationed along the Rio Grande near
Nogsles, also reported that the situation
WAS less serious. Col Greene had in
formed him that the men had been paid
on and we're Quieting down.
The four companies Of cavalrymen
which started Sunday for Fort Huachuca
were halted yesterday afternoon at Pata-
gonis, Ariz.. where they will remain
pending authority from the White House
10 move them on up to the army post
in the mountains. II is reported that
the object of Withdrawing the troops

CHICAGO. July ls.-Nightly observations
OF Kies q comet are being taken at Yerkes
Observatory by Prof. Edwin B. Frost
and Prof. Sherburne ". Burnham. who
put in much OF their time viewing Hal
ley's comet when that wanderer was visi-
bile year ago.
The new comet was picked up by the
observers at Yerkes on July 8, the day
following the receipt OF despatch 70
Prof. Frost from Lick Observatory telling
OF it's discovery.
-We have heen Watching the new comet
since July s. said Prof Frost over the
telephone from Williams Bay. Wis. to-
day. 1T is not an especially bright
comet and it is not visible to the naked
eye. 1t rises in the east between 1 and
i;3O A. NJ. and probably could he seen
with pair Of strong opera glasses II it
were not for the moon that is so bright
just about that time.
Il doubt whether it will be visible 10
the naked eye, but cannot tell for several
days. There il not much tail to be seen
just now. The comet is not near any
bright star. but rises in an almost vacant
space. so that it is hard to find. and the man
that does not understand his sky would
meet with difficulties. We probably will
have more complete data on it in a few
days"

TRACK REMOVAL BILL SIGNED
Mayor Writes . Tart Memorandum Gen,
tral Asscnts to the Measure.

Mayor Gaynor approved yesterday Of
the bill for removing the railroad tracks
from Eleventh avenue by permitting the
city to compel the New York Central
Railroad Company to put it's tracks either
underground or over the street. There
was hearing on the bill before the Mayor
announced his decision and at that hear
ing Ira A. Place on behalf OF the company
would comply with the terms Of the bill
The company must submit TO the Board Of
Estimate by November I detailed plans
for the removal OF the tracks from grade
II the plans thus submitted should not
be agreeable to the city then the Legisla-
ture next year may arbitrarily enforce
the removal Of the street tracks.
In his memorandum accepting the bill
the Mayor wrote:
am glad to accept this bill on behalf OF
the city OF New York, II provides for the
ing OF the tracks OF the New York Central
Railroad Company on the surface OF Tenth
and Eleventh avenues and the placing Of
them underground or overhead. according
to the locality, and for other like changes,
all at the expense OF the company.
The people Of the localities TO be bene-
hted have been deceived Tor years by GER
tain dishonest politicians and newspaper
proprietors who pretended to be work in z
for the removal OF the tracks when they
were doing no such thing. but using the
matter wholly for political humbug The
whole chapter is infamous from beginning
to end. II shows also. I regret TO say. how
easy il is TO gull honest people by delibera Ia
lying. For many years this has been going
on with no intention on the part OF the
falsiners to do anything whatever TO benefit
the people in the locality.
And when ! caused this bill TO he drawn
for the actual doing OF the work and had i,
IN, reduced in the Legislature found tha,
these same falsif1ers were able to introduce
an entirely fraudulent bill, under which tho
purpose could never be accomplished, a.
they we'll knew. and have it passed in ad-
vance OF this bill, After I disapproved
Of it the present bill was finally advanced
and passed, although they opposed il
covcrtly and openly. And now wo are
actually to have the plans made for Ihe re-
moval Of the said tracks from the surface
and the work begun.

Miss Berg said that she pleaded with

On cross examination Miss Berg denied
that De Macchi had told her the criticisms
