CAUCUS FAILS ID
 SELECT CANDIDATE
Sheehan Leads Failing Hope-Tonight's Caucus
 Beginning of the End

Albany. N. Y., March 27.-The sec ond democratic legislative caucus failed tonight to select a candidate for Unit ed States senator and was called to re- convene tomorrow night. Twenty-Five candidates were voted for, William F, Sheehan leading with vote of 2S Those receiving the next highest votes were:
 Augustus Van Wyck, [; Isadore Straus, 5 John J. Fitzgerald, G. and Daniel F. Cohalan, 4. Governor Dix eceived one ballot Ninety of the 1l6 democratic members of the legislature answered the call of the roll.
 Several members who have figured as strong advocates of MT. Sheehan's can didacy acknowledged. in declarin g their votes that his election had ceased to be a possibility, and that the re- converting of the caucus released then from whatever pledges that might have been incurred by attendance upon the first caucus. This was the general im- pression among the Sheehan advocates who expressed the opinion that the re- converting of the caucus tomorrow night would mark the beginning of the end of the most protracted sena- torial contest which this state has ever known.
 Several of the members tonight scored the insurgents for their failure to attend the caucus. The general opinion in both the democratic camps was that a democratic senator would be elected in time to take his seat when the extraordinary session of Congress convened week from tomorrow.

.LEE LONG IS NOT FIGHTING O'NEAL Says They Simply Have Diff
 ferent Opinions About
 Pegram Measure

Montgomery, March 27.-(Special)-J. Lee Long, chairman of the state tax commission and former representative in the house from Butler county, denies the published statements in some of the news papers that there is any war between him and the governor. Currency or re- ports regarding a breach between the two officials has been due to the opposite views taken by the chief executive and MT. Long on the question of whether or not the Pegram measure, bill which virtually abolishes the office of county tax commissioner, shall be placed on the statutes of Alabama. Governor O'Neal is of the opinion that the measure is an un- wise one, while MT. Long, who has prac- tically led the fight for the measure, is of the directly contrary opinion.
 You can say for mel said Mir. Long in commenting upon the situation, that I am not fighting the governor and that such a thought, in fact, has not occurred to me. There is no foundation for the report that any disagreement, whatever, exists except that we think differently on the Pegram measure.
 ''1 am for the Pegram measure, be- cause l believe that the bill is a good one. In my opinion it will bring to tho state, if passed, in the neighborhood Of from s200,0o0 to $500,000 more than the usual sum which we realize. The bill extends the powers of the state tax com mission in that it allows us an extra ap- propriation for the employment of ex- " tr ,vsisA can better get behind the vari- ous assessments, and thus bring about d better equalization of rates
 MT. Longs statement relative to his position on the measure. with his views therefor, leads to the belief that he will continue his fight to have the measure enacted into law, despite his defeat of last Friday. when the measure was de- feated in the house of representatives. Inasmuch as the senate, however, has incorporated in the revenue bill an almost identical measure, by a fair majority, the friends of the meaure will undoubtedly continue their fight to have the lower house agree to the amendment.

Mexico City. March 27--Concident with the announcement of new Diaz cabinet today came that of the appointment of Manuel De Zeamacona as ambassador to the United States, succeeding Francisco De La Barra.
 At the same time, the resignation Of Miguel Macedo as sub-secretary of the department of the interior became known In the cabinet as announceu to- day the office of secretary of the in- terior was left vacant and speculation doro Dehesa, governor of the state Of Vera Cruz and candidate for vice pres ident at the last election

 MT. Zeamacona is the government 5 financial agent in London, where he has been stationed for the past two years.
 The new ambassador is comparatively young but he has filled several import ant posts under the Diaz administra- tion. Prior to the appointment which took him to London he was director Of the department of internal revenue. di- rector general of the postal service, me1aer of the board of direrNnrs of the Mexican Central railroad and general manager of governmental banking and loan institution
 Mir Zeamacona was said to have al- ready received notice of his appoint ment by cable and to have left London for Washington. The retirement of the cabinet members has given rise to many rumors of further official posts to be vacated which rumors have not except ed that of General Diaz himself. That Vice President Corral will ask for and receive a leave of absence for a long term, if he does not in fact present his resignation to congress at its opening on April l, was regarded as we'll sub stantiated. For the report that General Diaz contemplated surrendering the presidency, however, no foundation could be found.

De La Barra in St. Louis

St. Louis. March 27-Senor Francisco Leon De La Barro, the newly chosen minister of foreign affairs of Mexico, decided upon his arrival here at 5:25 D. m today to pause in his journey to Mexico City until S:30 o'clock tomorrow night.
 Of the plans he might have for ef- fectng peace in Mexico which he has rtmated he will have ready for sub mission to President Diaz and the new cabinet, Senor De La Barra would say nothing.
 He has received no official advices from his country since his departure from Washington Sunday night. He manifested an interest in the dispatch from Mexico City of the official an- nouncement of the new cabinet though he declined to comment upon the news or it's probable effect on the situation in Mexico.
 Such telegrams as awaited Senor De La Rarro here were handed to him upon his arrival by Senor Fernandez, the new Mexican consul One of them was from Sonora De La Barra, telling him of the improved condition of their son who is i'll in Washington Other messages were chiefly of a congratulatory nature from friends in the United States and Europe. Commenting on these he said he was deeply moved by the evidences of friend ship the telegrams bespoke.
