land for the famous Durbar at Delhi,
in India, their majesties selected all
of their respective presents.
The presents that monarchs bestow
ing to semi-official advices, heavy gold
cigar-cases, pieces of exquisite}y de-
signed jewelry, ornamental figures
modelled in gold or silver; are among
the many gifts received by King
George and his consort from other
rulers. 1t is stated that among the
most valuable Christmas presents re-
ceived by King George is a massive
clock in a case modelled after a Brit
ish man-o'war of the first class; the
face of the clock looks out from the
coming tower, and the case is of SOL
i'd gold. This present is reputedly
worth 100000 and was the united
gift of six Indian princes.
OF course, the gifts received by the
president and Mrs. Taft do not in any
way reach either the value of the
ties, but they are fairly numerous and
come to them full freighted with the
affection and high regard of the send
|ers. In her old days in the Philippine
Islands, believe that the Christmas
and other gifts received by Mrs Taft
were much more numerous and cost
ly than they are nowadays, for she
was general favorite among all clas-
ses both natives and Americans. The
Roosevelts were the recipients Of
more Christmas presents than any Of
their predecessors in the White
House, and Alice Roosevelt received
more bridal gifts prior to become Mrs.
Longworth than any other Presidents
daughter in the history of the Repub-
lie.

GEN. REYES HOPEFUL.
Believes Cabinet Resignation Will
Aid in Pacifcation,

MODENA, Italy, March 2S.-Gen. Ber-
nardo Reyes. who has been here since
Thursday. inspecting the military college
and studying other departments Of the
army. has not yet received instructions
to return to Mexico. He expects, how
ever. to leave shortly for Paris.
Gen. Reyes was very reserved today
when questioned with reference to the
situation In his own country. The resig
nation of the cabinet he considers a
measure agreed upon between the minis
try and President Diaz, and he believed
that it would aid In the pacification of
the country, as the discomfort was chiefly
against certain ministers and the COVER
nors of certain states, some of whom had
already withdrawn from their official po-
sitions.
He was 100 far from Mexico he said,
to follow events closely. but in his
opinion several of the ministers are very
likely to resume power, instancing Lii
mantour and Creel. He reiterated his be-
lief that the insurrection would be crush
ed within two months, and he pointed
out that the revolutionists are now being
caught between the American frontier,
which is guarded by American troops,
and the Mexican army, without hope of
aid from any quarter.
