TO IMPROVE STREETS.
Road Commissioners Of Eastport Soon
To Make improvements.

The Road Commissioners of East
port are soon to make improvements
to Third and Fourth streets and
Chesapeake avenue, in that village.
They expect to curb these streets.
which will allow sidewalks to be
laid by the property owners. When
these streets are improved it will
complete the block bounded by Third
and Fourth streets and Severn and
Chesapeake avenues.
Third street is the main thoroughfare
to the village as the bridge across
the Spa leads directly to it. In rainy
and wet weather it is sometimes
almost impossible on account of the
mud, but it is hoped that when the
curb is placed upon this street the
residents will endeavor to further i'm
prove it.

Is expected at this session, a deter
mined effort will be made in the regu-
lar session to sever the islands from
the United States possessions.
Senator LaFollette, armed with new
evidence brought out by the special
committee Of the Illinois legislature
still held the privilege of the floor
today to present to the senate his
further reasons why that body should
adopt his resolution of inquiry into the
right Of Sen. William Lorimer to re-
tain his seat.
Yesterday in u speech that lasted
for several hours the Wisconsin sena-
tor recounted the testimony taken in
the former Investigation into the Lori
mer matter by the senate committee
on privileges and elections. Before
the senate convened it was generally
believed that Senator Dillingham's
resolution of inquiry intended as a SUBJ
stitute of that of LaFollette would be
adopted.
The joint resolution providing for
the admission into the union Of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico reached it's day
of final consideration by the house and
will be placed upon it's passage before
adjournment tonight. No doubt Of its
adoption is felt. With the statehood

fore the house will be concluded and

AGREEMENT SIGNED IN JuAREz
INTENDED TO END THE
losTILlTlEs.
WAR LASTED SIX MoNTHS
Practically Records Concessions Of De-.
nnands That Caused Revolution
Troops to be withdrawn
Gradually.

Juarez. Mexico. - Officially desig-
mated representatives Of the Mexican
government and the revolutionists
signed, at the customs house here, a
peace agreement intended to end hos
tilities. Though covering only the
principal points negotiated thus far,
the agreement practically records the
concessions by the government of
those demands which, on November
% last, started armed revolution in
Mexico.
Constitutional restrictions prevented
the inclusion in the agreement of the
statement that the rebels will be per-
mitted to suggest to various state
legislatures the names of provisional
governors and likewise that six Of the
eight members of the new cabinet
have been chosen by the revolution
lists. The agreement records, how
ever, that President Diaz and Vice
President Corral will resign, and that
the government is to concentrate its
attentions on desired reforms.
In the same room where President
Taft and President Diaz met two
years ago, where the portrait of Pres
ident Taft looks down upon the peace
commissioners (the portrait of Presi-
dent Diaz which once hung beside the
Taft picture having long since been
removed. peace was formally de-
clared.
Judge Carbajal represented the fed
eral government. and DR.. Vasquez
Gomez, Francisco l. Madero, ST., and
Senior Pine Suarez acted for the revo-
lutionists.
The agreement was signed after
three days of indecision, Francisco l..
Madero, Jr., leader of the revolution,
expressing the view that peace could
be declared only when Senior De la
Barra became provisional president
and the new cabinet was installed.
Some of his chiefs expressed fear
that armed forces in the field in the
interim might precipitate trouble It
was suggested, too, that in Difference
to the wish of President Diaz to retire
when tranquility was restored the
peace agreement be made Immediately
effective as his resignation is expected
within four or five days. The latter
view prevailed.
Senior Madero's hesitancy was based
on the idea that peace agreement
could have no legal effect inasmuch as
one of the parties, the revolutionists,
would cease to exist when peace was
declared. 1t was pointed out however,
that a peace treaty in the legal sense
of the word was not desired but mere
ly signed declaration recording what
had been done toward satisfying the
demands of the revolutionists.
The troops, it is provided in the
agreement, will be disbanded proper
tionately as each state is restored to
tranquility.
