The one dramatic speech of the day

t,on. His voice was repeatedly drowned
bv applause. and the floor fairly shook
with the demonstration that followed MS

The speaker acknowledged that Cen

made by Deputy Melgarego.
Every entrance TO the chamber and all
street approaches were guarded by heav-
ny armed mounted police. Only those
who came hours ahead of time got
within this Gordon. Those who were ad-
united were quiet and we'll behaved
Outside the line Of police the throng
cheered itself hoarse. but gave the police
no trouble Streetcars running near the
chamber were compelled to stop by the
density Of the crowd, and the car roofs

nounced the triumph Of the revolution.
With one accord they rushed toward the
chamber, but their progress was halted
BY the multitude ahead of them.
AS the crowds melted away after the
session by hundreds and thousands, they
fell into irregular marching clubs. The
marchers carried flags and banners Of
the national green, white and red, litho-
graphs Of Madero. laurel Wreaths
and brooms. apparently symbolic of the
clean sweep for the rebellion. while hun

poles, like soldiers with rifles.
All business was suspended. Every

A heavy guard of mounted police was
maintained in front of the National
Palace near which seven persons were
killed and thirty-six wounded last night
when the mob was fired on. The guard

the people and the effect Of their success
against the government occurred when

Dominique. who is now the ranking

streets this afternoon, accompanied by
