quering Hero.
RESTS AT THE MADERO HOME

Mexico City, June S.-Amid the
widest enthusiasm, Francisco l.
Madero, Jr., to-day entered the seat
of the Government which he over
turned.
The demonstration was the great
est which the capital has known in
a generation. Business was prac-
tically suspended and the streets
through which the revolutionary
leader made his triumphal way
were gay With flags, bunting and
flowers, while from the Threats of
tens of thousands came roars of &C
claim.
The noisy welcome began when
the great crowd at the railway sta
tion first caught sight of the beard
ed face and stocky figure of Medero
as he emerged from his private car
and stepped quickly into a waiting
carriage. Shouts of viva Madero!"
swelled into a great chorus as the
cry was taken up along the streets
leading from the railway station
throughout the city.
Bowling and smiling right and
left, Madero was driven from the
station to the national palace and
then to the home of his father at
Berlin and Liverpool streets.
Throngs that lined the way fell in
behind as the carriage passed until
a great, noisy, but friendly process
sion had formed. Scores of civil
ian societies, political organizations,
women in carriages and soldiers in
parade uniform moved on to the
quick step music of the military
bands.
1t was a spectacle stirring and
unusual, but amid the popular re-
joicing could be detected an under
current of resentment on the part of
unreconciled aristocracy, that look
ed on silent. though not unmoved.
Rumors of plots against the life
of the hero of the day were rife, as
were reports that secret arrests had
been made. Antonio Villacencia,
former chief of police, was taken
into custody last night.
Immunity as members of the
House of Deputies is said to have
stayed the arm of the law against
others alleged to have been impli-
Gated in a plot, the discovery of
which was followed by the arrest of
w. L. Dunno, the American, at
Monterrey, and Daniel de Villieres,
a former police head. These two
men are accused of being at the
head OF the plotters.
Madero's special train was pre-
coded to the capital by a score of
other trains which went up the line
to participate in the demonstrations
on the route and escort the rebel
General to the city. The occupants
of these trains filled the platforms
of the stations where stops were
made, but the general public re-
NAMED outside, held in restraint by
a Gordon of police.
A brief address of welcome was
made by DR.. Cuthberto Hidalgo, af-
ter which a parade was formed. The
various bodies participating had
been at the rendezvous since day
break and each had been assigned a
position in the line into which it fell
at the proper moment.
Banners bearing Madero's like
ness were everywhere mingled with
the national colors and slogans of
the revolution. Looming larger
than all others were banners bear
ing the single word. "Order." These
were intended to influence the pop
ulace to restrain the more turbulent
impulses. Shopkeepers as a rule
were inclined to be on the safe side
and generally the windows of their
places were suffered.
From the railway station the pro-
cession moved to the Madero home,
RI the corner of Gales de Berlin and
Gales de Liverpool.
Here in the two-story red brick
house owned by Madero, the elder,
and distinguished from its neigh
bors by tower, the conqueror of
Porflrio Diaz rested for the first
time since the triumphant entry
into the country was made at Gu
dad Porfirio Diaz, now newly nam
ed Piedras Negras.
