that Francisco |. Madero. Jr.. is to
come to the capital, was received with
great interest. Foreign Minister De La
Barra appeared surprised, but said
he would facilitate Senior Madero's ar
rival by further agreements that might
be necessary pending the visit.
The coming of Madero is accepted
here as meaning that the new armis-
tice will be continued as a permanent
peace basis, the terms of which

officials in this city.
The condition of President Diaz
continued today satisfactory to his
physicians, who said that It was like
ly that the executive would leave his
room during the day. He is said to
be in good spirits.
The government officials olscredit
the report of a plot to attempt the
life of Madero on his arrival in this
city. They say the rebel leader will
be treated with every courtesy. The
general opinion is that if any attempt
should be made against Madero's life
Or liberty the first move would be a
signal for general uprising and the
immediate march of General Figueroa
and his revolutionary army against
the capital. The rumor attributed
the alleged plot to opposition in the
army to Madero's proposal of General
Gonzales y Sales, for minister of war,
n the provisional cabinet.

History has never included a more
striking picture in her universal les
son book. Holinshed and Camden
have written no more deeply-inter-
preting record in all their different
ly-worded chronicles. Remarkable,
too, is the fact that this scene of un-
exampled magnificence has taken
place at time when Socialism is
supposed to be rampant. when rad
ical chancellor of the exchequer is
breathing fire and fury against the
lords and the aristocracy generally,
and when all that suggests power,
place, supremacy, is condemned as
something akin to political crime,
and equality for all men is the cry
