 Although holiday. the thousands who
 had nothing to employ their time pro-
 vuked no serious disorder. The only feat
 uie on the programme of the occasion which served as a reminder that the in-
 anguration of Madero was the cumina-
 ton or a revolution resulting In the over throw of a government that had endured

 where he took the oath of office. | From his home to the chamber he was
 escorted by a detachment of former rev o,utionists conspicuous because of their
 khaki dress and the tri-color band on | their hats.
 | In command was Gen. Ambrosio Fig | ucroa, now commander of rurales in
 Morelos. but during the revolution com | rnander of the revolutionary forces that | threatened the capital itself. Gen. Pasucal Orozco, the young nau of the north, who was largely responsible fpr Madero's success in Chihuahua and at Juarez, also rode In this detachment.

 Madero Confident | President Madero professes to have the | utmost confidence in his ability to restore absolute peace throughout the country within a short time. He does not believe | that the counter, revolution which his secret service agents claim has been orr ganized by Emilio vasquex Gomez and others, can possibly succeed nor even be carried to the point of inauYuratio ton. He begins his administration with dog ems of political prisoners in jail and If the efforts of the police are rewarded there will he many more within the next few days. The investigation of the plot continued today. but without important developments.
 The chief problems with which Presi- dent Madero will have to deal immediately are those connected
 with the Zapata movement in Moreles
 and adjacent states. the uprising in the lsthmus of Tehauntepec where the reb
