Didz SWedrS In Cabinet
 Pledged To Real Reform

minister he gazed steadily into the eyes of the new cabinet officials and repeat ed the stereotyped warning that if he fulfill the terms of oath the people would reward him, but that if he did not he would be held to account. His voice was strong and his bearing that of an army officer fit for service.
 Following the inauguration the new ministers went to their respective de- partments, where they assumed their du- ties and received the feicitations of their friends and those working there.
 Significant as has been the creation of a new cabinet, it is regarded as of little interest here, when compared with the possibilities involved in the various reports that are rife. Chief of those re- ports is that the President himself wiil resist It is denied but there is basis for the speculation If not for the fact. That he will resign within a week, or even within the next few months, is not believed probable. What is regarded as certain Is that Ramon Corral, the vice president, will ask for a leave of absence when congress. convenes nextseweek.

M0ONSH|N|NG DUE
 ID PROHIBITION

Washington. March S.-(Special) )-Indi- cations are that this is going to be ban ner year in the illicit distillation of H. ouors, Commissioner of Internal Revenue R. E. Cabell thinks. Not the high cost of living, but the high cost of whisky, MT. Cabell believes will make moon- shining more popular than ever.
 Predicting his movement on that suspl- cion, Mir Cabel is making unusually elaborate plans to circumvent the efforts of the unlicensed. He has recently con- ferred with numerous members of his force of agents as to the best methods of stopping and preventing the manufac- ture and sale of spirituous. vinous and malt liquors on which no tax is paid. He expects that not only the increased number of violations will be matched by an activity of the revenue agents more effective than eyer before.
 The center of illicit dstillation by MT. CabelIs compuation, has swung far south of Kentucky-perhaps it might be said to be on line with the, Carolinas. To the district composed of Georgia and Alabama much of the credit or discredit, for the swinging Is due. The agents h that district have been averaging 100 raids month, which Is a tremendous record, Mr. Cabell thinks that the repeal of the statewide prohibition laws of Alabama will have the effect of marked ly decreasing the number of violations there as licensed distilleries are expected to take the places of moonshine establish munts.

 Laws Drafted
RELIEF FUND GROWS

New York, March 2S.-The grand jury threw into action today the machinery for full investigation of the Washington Square fire of Saturday in which 142 lives were lost, by summoning 20 per and the board of aldermen paved the way for the ordinance making fire dHils compulsory in factories.
 Among the witnesses summoned before the grand jury are Max BlanclS, one of the proprietors of the Triangle Waist company whose employees were the vic- tims, and Joseph Asch, owner of the building.
 The work of Identification eliminated from the morgue all but 20 bodies and scores of funerals were held on the East Side.
 An aldermanic committee was instruct ed to draft a bill for presentation to the legislature, placing the installation and maintenace of fire escapes on all buildings solely under the jurisdiction of the fire department. There Chief Croker said, it should have rested all the while.
 Before Fire Marshal Beers testified a machinist named Greenspan testified that when he ran from his post on the Ninth floor, as the flames swept through the  tugging, contrary to the marshaPs belief that they were locked and barred. Green span said he escaped by the roof alone, although girls grasped his garments as he ran.
 Ut was too dark" he said, ito aid them.''
 Battalion Chief Worth, who first saw the huddled group of 50 bodies on the ninth fIoor,' testified that he found no doors locked or barred
 Indignation aroused by the suggestion that the unidentified dead be placed in a single grave was dissipated today by the announcement that the department of charities would procure plot Of ground in a private cemetery and bury each victim In a separate coffin.

REPORTS CONFLICT OVER
 RUSSO O-CHINESE SITUATION

sign is afoot, thinly concealed, by the Russo- Chinese exchanges. There is an inability to reconcile the contrary att titudes of St. Petersburg and the Rus sian legation here. While the former has been proclaiming the necessity Of military action against China the lat ter had declared that the troops will not be moved.
 It is believed that the legations at titude may be intended to encourage the Chinese. Yesterdays reply of the Chinese foreign board to the ultimatum read superficially gives the impression that China complies fully with the de- mands made. but carfully studied it goes a little beyond this and Is replete with repetitions that China already has complied in previous replies.
 Accordingly. though the legation quarter mistrusts Russia's intentions, there Is little sympathy with the Chi neSe.
 The members of the other legations generally think that China should have accepted unequicovally the Russian demands in her original reply to the Russian note of February Is and so left Russia before the world without an excuse for aggression.

Mexico City, March 2S-Standing be- fore Minister of Finance Limantour and Secretary of War Casio the only two members of his old cabinet, President Diaz today. in turn, solemnly adjured the four new members of his official family to uphold the laws and the constitution.

 General Diaz, wearing the tri-color diagonally across his breast, stood side by side with Victorinano Saladio Alvarez. the sub-secretary of the department of foreign relations, who administered the oath of office to the new ministers. For the first time in his long administration he looked upon a cabinet pledged to reform and which appointment had come about solely because of the insistent de- mand of the public.
 In the hall of ambassadors, where the ceremony occurred, there probably was no man older taau ti.h president himself, but few realized the age Of the warrior president when. at the conclusion of the formal administering of the oath to every

St. Petersburg, March 2S.-The Rus sian foreign office has telegraphed the Russian minister at Pekin that China reply to Russia's ultimatum is satis- factory and expressing the Emperors qualification at the happy termination Of the negotiations.
 St. Petersburg March 2S.-China's re- ply is an involved attempt to prove thas she fully acquiesced in Russia's demands in her replies to previous Russian notes and that if any matters were not specin- cally mentioned it was because it hal been taken for granted that they were in accordance with the treaty rights which China never questioned. As matter of formality China reiterates Rus sa's right to erect consulates and the freedom of trade.
 The imperial government expresses the conviction that the Chinese government will regard these provisions as inYiolabie and that it's decision will be pledge oI further strengthening the ancient bona of amity existing between Russia and China.

WILL SOON SUBMIT
 ARBITRATION BILL Taft Hopes to Present Brit ish-American Treaty to
 Extra Session

Washington. March 2S.--Such rapid progress is being made in drafting the new arbitration treaty with Great Brit ain that President Taft today expressed the hope that he will be able to submit the document to the Senate at the extra session of Congress. The work is in the hands of Secretary of State Knox and the British ambassador. MT. Bryce. The treaty will provide for arbitration on practically every dispute that can arise, and will include matters of national honor and territory.
 President Taft is pleased over the pros- pect of the ratification of this agree ment and will regard it as one of the greatest successes of his administration. He has strong hopes that France and other European powers eventually may become parties to such an agreement with the United States. and thus make war with this country practically impos- sible.
