FEAR SUCCEEDS HOPE.
Peace Seems at the City of Mexico
More Distant.

City of Mexico, April 6.-Among the
Mexicans and foreigners who long to
see the end of the revolution the hope
that the unofficial negotiations so au-
spiciously inaugugated at Washington
by Foreign Minister de la Barra. on the
eve of his departure for Mexico. and
DIR. Vasquez Gomez may be continued,
there is a growing fear of failure.
At none of the government offices
today was it possible TO obtain a state
ment to indicate the progress toward
a cessation OF hostilities, although it
was frequently denied that peace was
an impossibility. In one or two quar-
tiers il was limited at as a probability.
Local newspapers continue to urge the
necessity Of some agreement. The
Mexican Herald is especially emphatic
in its arguments for a compromise. OPP

'cles of the capital, but the news re-

headquarters TO San Andres and tight

the effect Of producing pessinistic dis
cord
Contrary to expectations. the appli-
cation of Vice President Corral for a
leave of absence was not discussed in
congress. The matter went over until

of deputies is preparing to oppose

GOVERNMENT THE GAMER
A Month or So Hence the
Rebels Would be Content
With Nothing Less Than
the Surrender of City of
Mexico.

Washington. April 6.-The adage of
striking when the iron is hot applies
to the necessity for arranging peace
in Mexico now, in the opinion OF DIR.
Vasquez Gomez head of the conf
dental agency of the Mexican revo-
lutionists here. Gomez points out
that 1t is now opportune to treat for
peace, but that in a month from now,
possibly, in two months. the revolu-
ton probably will have reached such
proportions as to make nothing but
a complete triumph and ths capture
of Mexico City acceptable
DR.. Gomez said, however, that bis
constituents were willing Ia do any
thing within reason and lid not wish
to be accused of undue aggressive
ness in pursuing the instruction.
For this reason he added. they would
meet any overtures for peace halt
way.
He said the negotiations were
launched. and satisfactory armistice
could be arranged. He believed that
although a movement had been di-
rected against the administration of
Diaz, he would be content wita a sys-
tematic revision of electoral laws.
Inasmuch as Diaz has endorsed the
principle of no reelection. he might
voluntarily relinquisff in the course
Of a year. the post he has held so
long.
Gomez is expecting to be I'm CON.

few days, when a definite understand

A RUSSIAN RISING
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
CRITICISM OF AN IMPERIAL
DECREE.
The Protestants Are of the Reactionary
Element.

St. Petersburg, April 6.-The council
of the empire in solemn session today
for the first time in history adopted an
Interpolation attacking the govern
ment, by vote of IS to 50, following a
discussion devoted to a criticism of the
action of the government in promulgat-
ing the zemstvo bill by imperial pre-
rogative during an artificially created
recess of the legislative body.
Last month the council of the empire
turned down an essential feature OF
this plan of Premier Stolypin-
The premier rendered his resigna-
ton and consented to remain only on
the condition of having his way In the
new legislation.
The emperor prorogued both the
council of the empire and the duma
for three days and forthwith promul-
gated the zemstvo bill by imperial pre-
rogative. Stolypins victory amazed the
politicians and thoroughly angered the
reactionary element of both chambers.
The galleries were crowded when the
discussion of the Interpolation was
opened today. Prince Troubetsky de-
clared that the exercise of the preroga-
tive had violated the normal course OF
legislation and the stability of funda-
mental laws. Senator Tagantazeff said
that ii established a precedent en-
dangering the whole structure of the
state. Senator Naryshkin. spokesman
of the conservatives, said the members
of his party were not worried over
constitutional guarantees, but the gov
ernment's action had shaken the trust
of the people in the emperor's word.
The government thoughtlessly had led
the emperor into signing a measure
bearing a fictitious appearance of le-
gality though substantially illegal and
justification on any ground

ALLEGED COLLECTOR
OF THE SLUSH FUND
TILpEN WAS AN UNKNOWN AT
SPRINGFIELD.
He Was on land to Testify Before the
Holm Committee.

Springfield. April Edward Tilden,
president of the National Packing COM
pany of Chicago. yesterday named by
Clarence Funk as the receiver of the
alleged 100000 Lorimer slush fund.
for more than an hour today walked
the capitol building trying to deliver
himself to the Holm bribery commit
tee under subpoena served in Chica-
go yesterday.
The subpoena directed him TO appear
before the Holm committee today. The
subpoena was made out prior to the
taking of Funk's testimony yesterday.
Through some oversight the process
server failed to notify Tilden that the
committee had adjourned until next
Thursday. In consequence his pres
ence will not be necessary until that
time.
Lack of acquaintance in legislative
circles enabled Tilden to roam the
state house without his presence being
discovered by the reporters on his trail
Persons to whom Tilden applied for
information did not know him and he
did not make his identity known. I'm
able to find Holm, he sought Senator
Logan Hay. another member Of the
bribery committee, who released him
until next Thursday.
Hay informed no one of the matter
and Tilden returned to Chicago on a
train this afternoon without being in
terviewed.
Many house members have gained the
impression that the senate inquisitors
are prepared TO summon them.
The subpoenAeing of house members
undoubtedly would result in a clash
between the two bodies. the outcome
of which cannot be foreseen.
