 MESSAGE BEARING BELLS.
 To the city generally the acceptance of the resignation was announced by the clangor of the bells of the cathe- dral and by two discharges of cannon.

With one accord they rushed toward the chamber, but their progress was halted by the multitude ahead. As the crowds melted away after the session, by hundreds and thousands they fell into irregular marching clubs. They carried flags. banners of national green, white and red.

Dominguez had previously is- sued a manifesto appealing to the people to refrain from disorder and disperse. to remember the dignity of their cause and not to disgrace their leader and themselves by rioting.
 The mobs did not disperse, but there was a marked improvement in their behavior In this work 1he had the assistance of the lieutenants he had sent on similar rounds and mem berS of the white cross, who from their seats in an automobile ad- dressed the over-enthusiastic men and boys
 Loudly they cheered Domiguez and the other speakers and solemnly as- sured them that they would not in- dulge in acts of violence, but to promise to go home without giving themselves the pleasure of indulging in the novelty of absolutely free speech was too much.
 POPULAR SELF RESTRAINT
 It is the first time in thirty years that the people of Mexico have been given an opportunity to shout with impunity the names of their choice for president and their comparative self restraint was considered remark able.
 Few acts of ruffianism were com mitted today. and yet the police and authorities endured more from the
