FINDS REMNANTS OF TRIBE.
Expedition Discovers Last Of Sup
posedly Extinct Indians.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-An an
thropolosicai expedition from the Univer-
sity OF California, under Prof. Kroeber.
has reported the discovery OF remnants
Of a supposedly extinct tribe Of Califor-
mia Indians near the headwaters Of the
Sacramento river. The main body Of the
tribe. the Kombos, was exterminated in
. raid in 1870 by settlers.
According to the members Of the expe-
dition, which returned from the north
yesterday, there are about twenty in the
tribe at present. They were identified
by arrowheads and other implements
found In their camps, although the abo-
rhymes themselves were too wild to be
approached.
The university will try to have them
rounded up by troop Of United States
cavalry, in order that their language and
ancient customs may be studied In the
interest Of ethnology. Numerous reports
from sheepmen In Tehama county that
sheep had been killed by arrows led to
the search for the Indians.

ularly as they affected Russian trade In
Mongolia, have been reported recently.
1t has been stated that M. Sazanof,
the minister Of foreign affairs, dealt more
vigorously with the Chinese government
than was justified under the circumstan-
ces, in the opinion of M. Kokovson. the
minister of finance, who was not enthusi-
astic over the prospect Of a heavy ex-
penditure necessitated by a military dem
onstration against China.
At the same time the cabinet as
whole has been sharply criticised in the

Belief Not Generally Shared.

GuStavo Madero'S BELIEF that senior LII
mantour, the Mexican minister OF finance,
will succeed Porfirio Diaz as ''provisional
president until another election can be
held, was not accepted at its face value
today by others who were in conference
with Senior Iimantour while he was In
this city. The words OF Lifnantour him-
self, spoken last night at San Luis Potost.
that he intends to Cooperate with Cen
Diaz," are quoted against any change 80
radical.
Iinantour's conferences with the elder
Madero were carried on at the Plaza last
week in plain sight OF the reporters, none
of whom knew Francisco Madero. There
fore, his son, Gustavo, had done the talk
ing while the father had kept In the
background. SO that when his opportunity
came he could walk into Senior Aman-
tours apartments unrecogntzed.
Only Father of Sons.
Moreover. he had no official connection
with the revolution. He was only the
father of his sons. Neither had Senior
Limantour any accredited diplomatic
standing in this city. Therefore, 1t was
possible for them to meet on basis OF
personal friendship. And they didAfour
times in addition to frequent converse
lions in Spanish over the telephone.
Francisco Madero's understanding is that
although Senior Limantour is to be in
trusted with the program of reform he
will work at Mexico City as he did here.
by private means rather than by direct
command. =.
AT the Offices Of the Continental Rubber
Company here today 1t was denied that
the company had entered into any deal for
$40, 100000 with the Maderos to buy out
their rubber plantations and factories in
Mexico.
ut is suficient to say" ran the state
ment, that the present status OF the
Maderos in Mexico is too uncertain for
us to treat with them"

DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM
. FOR EXTRA SESSION
House Ways and Means Com
mittee Members to Be
Busy This Week.

Before the end Of this week the demo-
tee on ways and means hope TO have
the extra session in shape to present to
the democratic caucus. The first ques-
ton to be decided IL whether the Cana
dian reciprocity bill shall be offered as
a distinct measure. or incumbered with
Q rider" carrying revision Of one oil
the general tariff schedules.
Objection to thus amending the reel
procity bill is based on the ground that
extensive hearings will be demanded ~
manufacturers and importers if general
revision Is undertaken, and reciprocity
delayed. 1t is commended that while rne
Senate is debating the reciprocity bill
the House can busy itself with revision
of one Of the textile schedules il SO
desired.
Hold Daily Sessions.
All of these considerations will be
weighed by the ways and means demo
Gratis this week. Chairman Underwood
has returned from New York and the
committee will hold daily sessions.
1t is proposed by some members OF
the committee to enlarge the scope o.
the reciprocity bill by empowering thu
President to negotiate reciprocity will
Canada upon articles not named IL
the pending agreement, such arrange
ments to be effective upon presiden
tial proclamation without furthe
action by Congress.
The democratic policy, it is said, will
be to facilitate the widest latitude II
reciprocal trade between the two ma
tions and to encourage rather thai
hamper further extension OF the re
ciproca1 free list.
The reciprocity bill. when reporte,
to the House. will be known as thu
Underwood BILL" after the Chairman
Of the committee. This will be in con
trast to the course Of the administra
ton at the last session in giving tn
bill to a member Of the committe
other than the chairman, to intro
duce. thereby breaking a custom o
years.

The troubles in the states Of Yucatan

The opposition that is reported from

Of Senior Creei from his post of minister
Of foreign affairs, while Senior Molina.

be asked TO retire because of opposition
to him that has arissn i'm Yucatan. SeROr
Corrars health, according to recent ad-
vices, indicates that he viii abandon pub

This will leave a vacancy in the vice
