announced by the clangor of the bells or the cathedral and two dicharges of a cannon.
 For many squares on every side Of the chamber the streets were black with peo- | ple. Great crowds were scattered over the zocalo when the ringing of the bells and the firing of the cannon announced the triumph of the revolution With one accord they rushed toward the chamber but their progress was halted by the multitude ahead of them.
 | As the crowds melted away after the session by hundreds and by thousands they fell into irregular marching clubs They carried flags and banners and the national green, red and white, Autographs and photographs of Madero, laurei wreaths, brooms-apparently symbolic of | the clean sweep of the rebellion-and hundreds of them sported slaves and poles after the manner of soldiers with rifles. | Practically all business was suspended Everywhere windows were shuttered, but the demonstrants of last night and this afternoon had become excited but harm | less ceebrants.
 The sky was leaden and threatened rain during the session of the deputies, but the sun, as if in harmony with the l jubilation of the populace, came out 1 DTlBnLly almost at the moment or the historic action of the President and the | congress.
 On every balcony in the city, and they are a feature of every house and office building, women and children and those too infirm to be in the street, came out to witness the celebration.
 Police on Guard
 A heavy guard of mounted police was maintained in front of the national palace, near which seven persons were killed and 36 wounded when the mob was fired on last night. The guard moved in a long oval.
 1 An incident illustrating the temper of the people and the effect of their | success against the government oc- cured when one of the marching clubs" came swinging down the Zocolo. The last two riders were swinging about in their oval route when the marchers crossed in front of them. It was a case of one get out of the way | of the other. The foot column moved straight toward the last two riders. | The latter wheeled as if to ride into l the crowd in good old-fashioned way, | but hesitated in the face of the as- surance shown by those approaching them and then gave way, spurring back | into line as best they could when the | citizens had passed.
 1 It was at a conference between Alfredo Robles Domiguez, the personal represen- | tative of Francisco l. Madero, and Fran | cisco De La Barra, the acting president | of the nation, that the agreement to place l the Maderist troops at the disposal of the government in the name of tranquility | vas reached. Only in the case that the federal troops prove unabel to control the situation will they be brought into the city
 1 Dominguez, who is now the ranking Maderist in the capital, went into the streets this afternoon accompanied by his staff, all wearing on their hats the tri- color used by the rebels in the field. He
 was on mission of peace following the issuance by him of a manifesto in which | he had appealed to the people to refrain l from disorder and to disperse. Riding from one group of manfestants to another he extorted them to remember the dig nifty of their cause and not to disgrace | themselves and their leader by riottng. l The mobs did not dsperse, but there was 1 a marked improvement in their behavior. In this work he had the assistance of lieu tenants he had sent on similar rounds and | of members of the White Cross, who from | their seats in an automobile addressed 1 the over-enthusiastic men and boys. Loud ly they cheered Dominguez and other l speakers and solemnly they assured them | that they would not indulge in acts of | out giving themselves the pleasure of in- dulging in the novelty of absolutely free speech was too much.
 | They continued their marching and | their shouting. but there was noticeable weariness in the aspect of the men and even the wiry boys appeared to be los ing their zest as night approached.
 Surrender Clubs
 | As an indication of the willingness | of the men to promise that they would not participate in riotuos acts. the White Cross delegation collected from a crowd massed in front of the foreign offices, an automobile load of long | slaves.
 'Tf you really mean you will not
 make trouble, why are you carrying
 those clubs?" asked one of the physi- clans.
 Take them" shouted their bearers.
 and forthwith began passing them to
 the occupants of the machine.
 In their widest moments the mem

 exhibit their love for the national flag. Repeatedly during the hours the crowd waited in front of the chamber for the news that Diaz had resigned. the colors
 were borne by them by one regiment or
 another and every time their appear
 ance was a signal for applause and lift
 ed hats.
 It Is the first time in 30 years that the people of Mexico have been given
