Mexico city. June 7.--Amid widest
enthusiasm Francisco /. Madero, jr.,
today entered the seat of government
which he overturned.
The demonstration was the greatest
the capitol has known in generation.
Business was suspended. the streets
through which the revolutionary lead
er made his triumphal way were gay
with fags. bunting and flowers. while
from the threats OF tens OF thousands
came roars Of acclaim.
The noisy welcome began when the
great crowd at the railway station first
caught sight Of the bearded face and
stocky figure as Madero emerged from
his private car and stepped into a
waiting carriage
Shouts of Viva Madero" swelled
into q great chorus as the cry was
taken along the streets leading from
the railway station throughout the
city. The throngs that lined the way
fell behind as the carriage passed until
the great and noisy but friendly pro-
cession had been formed.

Plots Thioken.

Jaurez, Mex, June 7.--Indica-
lions that plots against Madero
were growing in influence and
extent, were manifest from sew
eral quarters today. The loyalty
of certain heads of the federal
troops have been brought into
question and as a consequence
wholesale charges in that dlrec-
ton are expected as soon as Ma
dero gets into full touch with at
fairs In Mexico City.
Messages were sent to Madero
today advising him of special
circumstances, which are alleged
to relate to a plot. AS a result
1900 federal troops which were to
have left Chihuahua for lower Cali
Mornia to cooperate at once in
suppresslng the revolutionists,
have been summarily ordered not
to go.
Rumors Of a plot against the
life OF the hero Of the day were
rife, as were reports that secret
arrests had been made. Antonio
Villascencia, former chief OF po-
lice. was taken in custody last
night.
A member Of the house of deputies
is said to have started the arm Of
the law against others alleged to
have been implicated in a plot. the
discovery Of which was followed
by the arrest of w. L. Dunno, an
American at Monterey. and Daniel
