Washington, April 14.-David Jayne
Hill, of Rochester, N. Y, ambassador
of the United States to Germany, has
resigned his post. The resignation
has been accepted by President Taft.
Neither in Mr.. Hills letter or resig-
nation nor in the presidents letter
of acceptance is any reason given for
the ambassadors action. The presi-
dent thanks Mr.. Hill for his service
at Berlin, and says that he is glad
to know that he will remain there un-
til July 1, when the resignation goes
into effect.
The letter to the president was dated
April II.
Ambassador Hill was ordered home
from Berlin several weeks ago, to dis
cuss, according to announcement by
the state department at that time. the
potash controversy between the United
States and Germany, which for a long
time has been the subject of diploma
tic interchange in which Mr.. Hill has
been intimately engaged. State de-
partment officials declined today to
discuss the resignation.
The retiring ambassador has been
connected with the state department
for more than twelve years, entering
the service as assistant secretary of
state October 25, 1898. He was ap-
pointed minister to Switzerland in 1903
and two years later was transferred to
The Netherlands. Since April 2, 1908,
he has been ambassador to Ger
many.
While Ambassador Hills resignation
was great surprise to official Wash
ington and to the diplomatic corps
here, 1t was argued today that the
fact that he is to remain at his post
until July 1 indicates that there was
nothing urgent in the ambassador s
action.
Reports of friction between Mr. Hill
and the state department were in cir
culation today, but absolutely no con-
firmation was obtainable from any
source.

West Swansea, N. H, April IA
Denman Thompson, the aged actor,
died at his home here today.
Mr.. Thompson had been i'll Of heart
troubles and uraemia since last month,
Henry Denman Thompson, who
made famous "The Old Homestead u
was born in a log cabin in the hamlet
of Beechwood, three miles from Gil
Rard, Pa, on October Is, 1893.
At fourteen he went to his fathers
old home at West Swanzey and for
three years worked with his father,

Washington, April 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party met its first serious trouble
in the house today. at the close of the
session which was marked by insur-
gency in the Democratic ranks by rea-
son of which the Republicans narrowly
missed securing triumph. The house
passed the Ruclxer bill for publicity of
campaign contributions before cleo
tions and a fight arose over the extent
to which publicity should be applied.
But for a vigorous Democratic whip an
important Republican amendment ex-
tending to the publication of individual
receipts and expenses Of candidates for
congress would have been retained III
the bill when finally passed. BY re-
sort to parliamentary move the
Democrats got rid of the Objectionable g
amendment after it had been adopted
by the Republicans, aided by So Dem
ocrats.
RECIPROCITY BILL PRESENTED.
The Canadian reciprocity bill YVES
formally laid before the house just be-
fore adjournment today, and after a
general debate, which will probably
continue three days, will be passed.
This action was no matter of specula :
tion. The Democratic house in the
conduct of the resolution providing for
the direct elections of senators which
passed yesterday, and the bill providing
for the publication of campaign con-
tributions, which passed today, has in
dicated it's ability to put through its
legislative program. While no time
was fixed for debate on the reciprocity
bill, a motion was adopted dividing
whatever time is consumed between
Underwood, who reported the bill. and
Dalzell, who will lead the opposition.
Representative Good of Iowa, caused
small sensation during debate on the
Rucker election publicity bill by de-
claring that the largest single con-
tributor to the Democratic campaign
fund in Iowa was Confidential man
for ]. P. Morgan & Co." He said w
c. Beer, a former resident of Iowa, had
made the contribution. He urged an
amendment of the law that would show
the true source of all contributions.

Washington, April 14.-President
Taft is determined that Mexican bat
Ties shall not be fought on American
soil and is equally determined that tho
lives of American non -combatants shall
not be endangered by the Diaz or Ma
dero forces. Through the state depart
ment the president tonight notified the
Mexican government that it must see
in future that no such unfortunate in
cidents as happened yesterday at Aqua
Prieta be allowed. Through the war
and justice departments the president
sent similar warning to leaders OF
the insurrection at Aqua Prieta.
Neither Taft nor any Of his advisers
who were called on tonight were in
clined to regard the incident at Aqua
Prieta as a forerunner of anything
more serious, but they did conclude
that 1t must not be repeated.
With the custom house at Aqua
Prieta in the hands Of the rebels and
Juarez again threatened, a new situa-
ton is pointed to the state department
involving the delicate question relating
to the recognition of the insurrection-
lists. Officials decline to indicate what
course the United States will take.
Three thousand revolutionists, ouc-
numbering the federal defenders in the
town four to one, are within four hours
march Of Juarez, according to a tele-
gram to the state department from
Consul Edwards at Juarez. According
to unofficial kilograms twelve rebels
were killed and sixteen wounded. The
federal loss was seven killed and seven
wounded in the battle at Aqua Prieta
yesterday.

NO REPRESENTATIONS MADE
TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT

Mexico City, April 1.-THE war and
foreign relations departments received
only meagre reports of the battle IT
Aqua Prieta today. No representations
have yet been made by the state de-
partment at Washington concerning
the firing across the international
boundary and the resultant loss OF
life. That such representation may be
made is not considered improbable, but
it is. likely the Mexican government
will protest regarding the part played
by Capt. Gaujot, who crossed the
boundary, thus technically invading
Mexico. Army experts point out the
taking of Aqua Prieta was a great mis-
take by the rebels and that they will
be unable to hold it. Others express
the opinion that taking the city will
bring thousands of recruits to the in
surrectos.
