telegraphed to the mayor of Scranton

headed, and then it meant death Tor all
who entered the workings.
State Mine Inspector James Hillhouse

No Peace Envoy Named.
Speculation as to the appointment of
commissioners to arrange terms Of peace
with the rebels was effectually set at
rest today by a definite statement from
Minister Of Finance Limantour.
Mr.. Lpantour said that no person had
been named by the government Regard
ing Francisco !. Madero's proposal to re-
sign the provisional presidency and to
agree to the appointment OF the member
of the present cabinet as provisional pres
1Qent, QfOSfOeO InaL zen. DlaZ would re-
tire, Mr.. Limantour stated that he did
not consider himself authorized to talk.
Hopes for Peace.
Although Mr.. Limantour's statements
indicate that the Mexican government has
little hope of an early agreement with
Madero. the belief appeared to be held
in other official quarters that a basis for
peace would get be found. Between the
rebels and the government there remains
but one specific point OF difference-the
resignation Of President Diaz. Madero
has insisted that the retirement Of Gen.
Diaz is essential.
Francisco 1. Madero is the man at the
head of the troops. but DR.: Vasquez
Gomez at Washington is his chief lieuten-
ant, and Madero himself has intimated
that his opinion would be taken into
consideration in any agreement made. DR..
Vasquez Gomez has stated that the resig-
nation Of Gen. Diaz will not be insisted
upon, saying that 1t might lead to an
archy. 1t is upon this statement Mexican
officials are basing their hope OF peace
without accession to the rebel chiefs de-
mands.
