GEN, ElAZ QUITS
GIVES UP PRESIDENCY OF THE
MEXICAN FAssCBMC.
Passing Of Mexico's Aged Executive
from Political Power, Greeted by
Silence in Chamber of lfeputies.

President Porfirio Diaz, in let
ter read by the President of the
Chamber of Deputies Thursday aft
ernoon, resigned the presidency of
the Republic of Mexico.
Everyone had predicted an uproar
and demonstration when the an
nouncement should be made, but the
words of; the President announcing
the resignation were followed by a
dead silence.
Streets leading to the hall were
filed with people and tbs news that
Diaz was at last no more the presi-
dent was the signal for the widest
shouting. There was, NO violence
nor destruction Of property.
The motion was offered to accept
the resignation. One hundred and
sixty-seven Deputies voted aye, while
two of them did not express them
selves. They were Benito Juarez, a
descendant of the President, and
Conceptions Val Velle. AS their
names were called the legislators
arose and bowed their affirmation.
In similar fashion the resignation
of Vice President Corral, now in
France, was unanimously accepted,
and soimilarly Francisco Leon De La
Barra, late ambassador to Washing
ton, was chosen Provisional Presi-
dent The latter will shortly take the
oath of Office, in the yellow parlcr
of the National Palace.
OF scarcely less interest was the
practical assumption of military con-
troll of the district by A !fredo Robles
Dcminguez, Madero's personal rep
resentative. Personally, he COM
mands only small body Of local
rebels, but the federal garrison is
under orders to make DO move what
soever without securing his approval.
Senor Dominguez stated that he can
bring 5000 organized rebel troops
into the city within three hours.
Their baggage and horses are aboard
trains furnished by the government
He stated that they will remain at
their present station, unless they
should be needed in this city to con-
troll the, situation.

MARITIME LAVES CAUCUS
IN TILT WITH BAILEY OVER
LORIMER RESOLUTION.
New Jersey Senator Unwilling to
Stand by Caucus Action in adopt
ing MARITIME Resolution.

ing MARITIME Resolution.
IN Thursdays Democratic sena-
torial caucus over the MARITIME resofu-
tion to refer the reinvestigation Of
the Lorimer case to the committee
on privileges and elections, which
was adopted by vote of "a to 4,
there was sharp tilt between Sena-
tor Bailey, of Texas, and Senator
MARITIME, of New jersey Mr.. Bailey
told Mr.. MARITIME that If the Latter
was not willing to abide by the de-
cision of the caucus he could leave
it, whereupon the New Jersey senator
put on his hat and left the meeting
in rage.
The verbal encounter between
Messrs. Bailey and MARITIME origin
ated in Mr.. Bailey's demand for gen.
eral support Of the MARITIME resoln-
ton. Bailey declared that any sena-
tors who refused to be bound by the
caucus had no rightful place in the
party councils.
This aroused the senators who
favor the La Toilette resolution pro-
viding for an inquiry by special COM
mittee of new senator's. Mr.. Bailey
contended that more than two-thirds
of the caucus favored the MARITIME
resolution. Mr.. MARITIME said that he
was unwilling to be bound by party
caucus in some cases. He also stated
that he was willing to compare his
record with that of Mr.. Bailey.
Saying he would not handy words
regarding the character Of his owl.
Democratic standing, Mr.. Bailey in
sisted that senators were in duty
bound to abide by a two-thirds ma.
iority of the caucus. Mr.. MARITIME
finally withdrew from the caucus.
Almost every other Democratic
senator participated in the debate.
1t developed that the Republicans
had agreed to abandon the Dilling-
ham resolution in favor of the Mar
tine resolution with the understand
ing that any senator should be free
to offer and support amendments.
It was expected that the LoriIn"r
uuestin would come up in the open
senate, but this matter was crowded
out by other business. The pros
pect now is that the Martin resolu-
ton will be adopted without amend.
