Portico Of White Marble.

The monument Is composed of a great
portico in white marble, with sixteen i'm
mense columns surmounted by frieze.
and at the ends quaddgae in bronze. In
front Of the colonnade stands the gi-
gantic equestrian statue Of the father OF
the country on richly decorated pedes-
tai, leading to which are grand stair
cases decorated with fountains, statues,
groups and antennae with gilded figures.
The entire length Of the monument is
500 feet, its depth $50 feet and its height
go feet.
Notwithstanding the relative cheapness
Of marble and labor in Italy the monu-
ment when completed will have cost
about 2O,OOO0OO. and will represent thirty
years work. The plans for the structure
were drawn by young architect. Giu-
seppe Sacconi, and were selected from
hundreds of others in June, 1884. King
Humbert laid the coner stone OF the
great structure March %, 1855. Sacconi
devoted all his energy to the work and
finally died. Three other architects were
placed in charge, Koch, Manfredi and
Piacentini. the first OF whom also has
died. No more fortunate was the sculptor
of the equestrian statue, Signor Chiara-
dia, who did not survive to see his mag
nificent work completed. Emilio Gallori,
the sculptor Of the monument to Carl
baldi on the Janiculum. took up the work
where Chiaradia had dropped it.

A New Phase Of the State Prohi-
bition Law
DECISION SUPREME COURT
Women Of Red Light District in IA.
leigh Lose Hard Fight-Conricted
In Three Courts -Another Ruling In
Whiskey Cases Before Trial Judges,
Given by Judge Brown.

Raleigh, March 30.-The cases
against the somewhat notorious Nancy
Cotton and Marie Turner, of red light
fame in Raleigh, we're settled yester-
day by the supreme court. These wo-
men were first convicted in the police
court under the yagrancy act of 1907,
making the keepers and inmates Of
|disorderly houses subject to the pen
alties imposed on yagrants. They APP
pealeG to the superior court OF Wake
county and were again convicted and
appealed to the supreme court. The
supreme court, by per curiam de-
cision, affirms the sentence, which
confines them in the workhouse Sew
eral questions as to the competency
of evidence of the character of the
house they occupied being disorderly
house were raised on the appeal, but
the opinion, being per curiam, there
is no discussion of these questions in
the opinion. the judgment being af-
firmed.
Another criminal case from Wake
county which was decided in State "
Denton for selling whiskey. The evil
dence was that man named Hodge
brought basket filled with liquor
bottles TO Denton's house for the pur-
pose of selling the liquor, and later,
in the presence OF Denton and with
his knowledge, sold some of the whis-
key. The trial judge instructed the
jury that if the liquor was brought
there for that purpose and sold with
Denton's knowledge. In his presence
and with his consent, he would be
guilty as aiding and abetting the sale.
Judge Brown. who writes the opinion
for the supreme court, states that any
one who aids and abets in the COM
mission of a misdemeanor is guilty
as a principal, and that 1t was not
error for the trial Judge to instruct
the jury in the manner he did. The
other assignment of error was that
some Instructions were given the jury
when the attorneys for the defendant
were not present The supreme court
states that when jury asks for addi-
tional instructions, If the attorneys are
not present, it must rest in the sound
discretion OF the trial judge whether
they should be sent for, unless there
Is unusual reasons for sending for
them. This is power conferred
upon the superior court judges under
rule 81 Of the superior courts. Judge
Hoke dissents in this case on the
ground that there was not shown any
participation by Denton in the sale.

RevOIutiOnisiS Arrested.
Displaying Vigilance

City OF Mexico, March 30.-(via
Galveston. )-The danger Of a reyolu-
tionary outbreak in the city Of Mexico
itself is believed TO be more imminent
than at any previous time. The gov
ernment denies that a mutiny plot in
the garrison sol6iery has been dis
covered, but 1t is insisted, in apparent
ly well-mfornied quarters, that thirty
revoIutionists were arrested Tuesday
night. The garrison is displaying un-
wonted vigilance.
At the suburb of Tecubaya. which
is within short trolley ride from the
city proper, 800 men OF the First Regi-
ment of mountaineers and the Second
Regiment OF mounted artillery guard
the town.
In other suburbs apprehension of
outbreaks Is grave, particularly in
Tacuba, San Hustle and Tialpam.
Troops were rushed on the double
quick to Tacuba last evening. in re-
sponse to reports that demonstra-
tion was threatened.
The war department denies per-
sistent stories that Ures. formerly the
capital OF Sonora, is in the hands OF
the rebels.
The people here are expecting the
trouble TO break out in the capital at
any time, asd feeling is tense The
announcement OF the new cabinet
seems neither to please nor displease'
them. They recognize that the new
cabinet is preferable to the retiring
one, but on the other hand fear that
II II demonstrates its capacity to keep
control OF the situation, IL viii in the
end give the people less than they
would have gained II the rebellion had
gone on to a complete victory Of the
Maderists. The public considers that
the concessions DIaz has already
made indicate a weakness that he has
never before thus publicly admitted,
and the expectation that something
Of the greatest significance would
break out here at any time, is very
strong.
Information is that Diego Fernando
will succeed General Escandon as
governor Of the federal district. which
includes Mexico City.
