Chicago, May 1s.-Speculators who

ton Of the board of trade directors
will deprive the market Of big bull
leader, as none will care to assume
that role IL they are to be changed

5000. 900 to 1o,OOO,ooo bushels Of grain
and a stand made for delivery. They
argued that anyone who has the money
and pays for large quantity Of grains

several land buyers from Illinois have
been spending a day or two looking
over lands in the southern part of

Confer on Terms,

Judge Carabajal and DR.. Gomez con-
ferred in an Ell Paso hotel today con-
corning peace terms. At this meet
ing Judge Carabajal officially trans
mitted to DR.. Gomez for Senior Madero
an invitation for the latter to go to
Mexico City.
The government, 1t is believed, thinks
Madero could be persuaded to go
there at once and perhaps conclude
the peace agreement in the capitol.
Madero's cabinet, 1t is believed, will
advise the signing of the peace agree
ment on the principal points first and
the visit by Madero to Mexico City
later to arrange to the details and see
that the guarantees are carried out.

deputies and under which the election
Of Diaz's successor will be held.
The measure, so far as is consistent,
follows the French law, under which
the national executive is elected for
seven years by an absolute majority of
votes by the senate and chamber of
deputies, united in a national assembly
or congress.
Heretofore, the Mexico national gov
eminent has conducted the elections
through local mayors, who presided at
the pollings. The mayors passed on
the eligibility OF the votes and counted
the ballots. Their powers linked with
their obligations to the national adj
ministration gave rise to charges
against the government OF fraud.
Under the proposed law the mayors
must keep their hands of. The can
didates will conduct their own cam
paigns and their Representatives viii
