MEXICAN STATESMAN
PREDICTS PEACE

NEW YORK. May 1Z-Jose CASTILLO,
three times president Of the Mexican sem
ate, Is in New York today on his way
from Europe TO Me=ico City. He is com
fident that conditions in Mexico will soon
right themselves.
THE present situation" he declared,
rs the result Of a political necessity. The
Mexican people want evolution, not revo-
luton. The ministry of the country is
too old and out Of plumb with the
younger and progressive element
Il have frequently advised President
Diaz TO adopt reforms. His answer al
ways was 'Manana.' He has made HIM
self the greatest man OF the century,
but he would have won still greater
glory II he had stepped down to let a
younger man assume control"

WONDERFUL WORK OF
AN AMERICAN WOMAN

NEW YORK, May 15.-After two years
of life among the Bagobos, a little
known Philippine mountain tribe, Miss
Laura Benedict, of the Staff of the
American Museum of Natural History,
has returned to that institution with a
collection of 2,10O specimens illustrating
the life and customs of the tribe. Miss
Benedict, who is graduate of the UNI
versity of Chicago, learned the language
of the Babagos and got on such good
terms with their chiefs that she was al
lowed to take part in their annual reli-
gious festivals. She was adopted as
member of the tribe and given native
name.

HISTORIC HARVARD
ELMS UPR00TED

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, May 17.-Five
of the historic elms in the Harvard col
lege yard are being uprooted by work
men today. Other trees will have to
come down during the summer. After
undergoing the ravages of the elm leaf
beetle and the leopard moth, the trees
have at last succumbed to an insect
known as the bark borer.
1t is doubtful If any of the elms in
the yard, many of which are nearly
century old, can be saved. The college
has ordered 100 red oak saplings, which
will be planted to replace the elms as
fast as these are pulled down.

on to war With a tent on his back, a wad
OF blankets slung across his shoulder, a

nothing of various other cans, sticks,
bags and pouches that tapped about his

down in the middle. generally. He got
tired easily and was sore much of the
time from carrying so much junk.

a compact little kit that fits ssnugly on
the soldier boys back, gives no special
annoyance, and allows him some comfort
while on the hike. His hideous old hat Is

NEW FIGHT is BEGUN
TO SAVE MANS NECK

MACON, Ca, May 17.--An amended mo-
ton for a new trial for William B.
Walker. who is under sentence of death
for the murder of his wife, was filed
with Solicitor Grace yesterday by Judge
John P. Ross. Walkers attorney. The
motion will be argued before Judge Fell
ton early IN June.
The chief contention for new trial
are, exceptions to the judges charge, the
language used by the court in addressing
the jury, and that he erred in not charg-
ing the jury in various particulars. The
motion is one of the lengthiest filed in a
criminal case since the voolfolk trial
Judge Ross also makes an appeal to
the court to resentence Walker in the
event new trial is refused, and give him
a life term in the penitentiary, as the
trial Judge may do in his discretion in
cases where conviction results from cir
cumstantial evidence.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 1.-THE
delegates to the Southern Baptist con-
vention began arriving today DR.. Ian

Gregory, of Virginia, the two veteran
secretaries of the body, were the first to
come in. They have served together since
1882 and have not missed session of the
convention since then.
WILL CONSIDER DEBT.
A cloud seems to be on the hearts of
those who are coming in on account of
the debt of more than $4,000 on the for
eign mission board. One of two things
will have to be done, the debt must be
wiped out or some of the missionaries
will have to be recalled.
The convention will hardly consent TO
call halt in this work 1t is the opinion
of those who have studied the question
that the debt is due largely to the fact
that too much was expected of the lay
mems missionary movement The lead
ers in the work expected large number
of laymen to be organized. This would
have brought in more money.
A much smaller number of new men
than was expected came in, and hence
there was shortage in the money re-

Speaker Cannon.
INSURGENTS JOIN REGULARS
Senator Crane of Massachusetts, To
Be Real Engineer Of the Re-
publican Regulars In the
Senate.

Representative James
r. Mann, OF Illinois, has been unani,
mously chosen candidate for Speaker
and floor leader of the Republicans
in the House of Representatives His
name was proposed TO the caucus by
eX-Speaker Joseph &. Cannon and he
received the support of the regulars
and those insurgents who were pres
ent.
The caucus selected Mr.. Currier OF
New Hampshire as permanent chair
man and Mr.. Kendall of Iowa, an in
surgent, as secretary. Mr.. Dwight OF
New York, was again nominated for
Republican whip" The caucus in
dorsed all of the elective officers who
have served in the Republican House.
None Of these will be reelected, how
ever, except the chaplain, the Rev.
Henry n. Couden, who has been
chosen in caucus by the Democrats.
The caucus voted down a committee
on committees proposal and author
lied Mr.. Mann to choose the Repub-
lican members of standing committees
of the House.
The political compilations of the
two branches of Congress will be as
follows:
House-Democrats, 22S; Republi-
cans, 100; Socialist, l; vacancies, 2,
the ninth Iowa and second Pennsyl-
vania districts.
Senate-Republcan so; Demo
Gratis, Al; vacancy, l, from Colorado.
The old sergeant-at-arms, Col. Cas-
son. and the old clerk. Mr.. Mcdowell,
and the other Republican officials Of
the last House were renominated.
The men to fill six places allowed the
minority in the patronage Of the
House, representing aggregate sal
aries Of $4,000, were named by the
caucus.
1t has already become apparent that
Senator Crane of Massachusetts is to
be the real engineer of the Republi-
can regulars in the Senate and that
he is to take the place Of former Sena-
tors Aldrich Hale and Carter in the
new organization in SO far as he is
capable of steering the majority party
in the upper body.
BY common consent, it seems the
silent senator from the Bay State has
already assumed his position. In the
last Congress or rather in the last
two or three Congresses he has been
the go-between in working up votes
for ore measure or another. He has
been known as the whip of the
regular organization.
