WOTk OI ICOnsCTuCIlVe SGdLo5mdnsn of which the main features, as al- ready stated, have numbered fiji. teen.
 It is superAuous to enlarge on the importance of these achieve ments. any one of which would have suificed to shed lustre on the Diaz administration.
 But taken altogether they form record of progress which ought absolutely to silence criticism.
 T he fl fftee n d m nistrative achievements alluded to are as fol- lows:
 1.-The financial rehabilitation of the nation.
 2.-The recognition, adjustment and advantageous conversion of the nations debt.
 3.-Budgetary equilibrium, or the wiping out of the annual deficit.
 4.-The accumulation of large treasury reserves, out of which the cost of many useful public works has been met, leaving handsome balance still on hand.
 5.-The abolition of the alca. balas. Local imposts on com merce.
 6.-Banking Legislation, and the expansion of the banking business.
 7.-Currency Reform, or the placing of the country on gold basis.
 8-The increase of the nations foreign and domestic trade, under the liberal policy followed.
 9.-Encouragement of agricul- ture and irrigation works. 10.-The great impetus given to railway construction.
 1.-The completion of the Te- huantepec Railway, q transcon- tinental concern. 12.-The Railway Merger, or consolidation of the chief railways of the country under control of a Mexican company, in which the Government holds controlling in- terest.
 13.-The improvement of the country's chief ports both with respect to navigation and sanita- tion.
 14.-The Drainage of the Valley of Mexico.
 15.-The sanitation and embel- lishment of the capital.
 It is easy to criticize, and the Diaz administration has come in, of late, for a great deal at home and abroad, but in view of the fore. going record, it may be asked:
 What other administration could have done for Mexico what the Diaz administration has done? What other administration could do for Mexico now what the Diaz administration will do2
 For the President by no means thinks his task accomplished and will hereafter devote all the lights of his intelligence and all the ener' gies of his will to the work and the country may be made greater and stronger and his countrymen hap pier and more advanced.

Sedition in Sonora.

Wltn regard to what was dOlng Tn support of the insurgent cause in isolated parts of Sonora. When sifted down those reports amou mt to very little, and the alleged re- volutionary movement cannot be said to have gained any foothold in the state.
 Saturday last it was reported that band of insurrectos had taken possession of Navojoa, a small town on the Mayo river, at the junction of the main line of the railway with it's branch to Alamos. A latter account conveyed the in- telligence that Severino Talaman- tes, a land holder and agriculturist of some stand in that vicinity-a man seventy years of age-had is- sued prOnuncidmientO against the Diaz government and had invited the disaffected to flock to his stan- dard thus raised in revolt. The disaffected trooped to the standard of Se1or Talamantes to the extent of three or four persons. General Lorenzo Torres, whose headquarters are at Torim, on the Yaqui river, put a quietus quickly to that in- surrection by clapping into jail the iusurgent general-Talamantes- and his entire army, consisting of three or four belligerent persons.
 It is reported also that the insur- rectos are in possession of Yecora and Trinidad, but that they had not deposed the officials of the two municipalities, who continue to do business at their old stands without let or hindrance. Whether the inSurrectOS who have possession of the two places named are parties who have marched over from Chi huahua or whether they are a local uprising is not stated. But in either event their movement cuts no great figure. Trinidad is a mining camp that in the day of it's importance, thirty years or more ago, was quite a town, but long since it has gone to decay. Proba- bly, the population does not exceed 600 or 800. The town is two days ride from the Yaqui river. Yecora is much smaller town in beauti- ful mountain valley, days ride eastward from Trinidad, close uE against the summits of the Sierra Madre, which are the dividing line between Sonora and Chihuahua They are in a region of deep cations and lofty mountain ridges and isolated so far from the populated part of the state of Sonora that il would make no difference of the two towns remained insurrectOI permanently. From either point it is about three days ride tC Mihaca, in Chihuahua, which i' within the zone of disturbance ir that state.
 From the Moctezuma distric there come reports of the operation of one or two small predatory bands. They took from Marion Williams an American in the cattle business over in that region, som, arms, ammunition, horses, saddles and provisions. They gave receipts upon presentation of which to th' Madero government, when it is es tablished, reimbursement will b' made. From o. l..

FIELDER OFFERS
ANOTHER JOKER
To THE HOUSE
Bid Allows municipalities to
Supply Water to Private
Corporations.
IFrom a Star oorresponesnt.l

TRENTON, March 30.-There was a
scrap in the House this afternoon over
a water bill drawn by Senator Fielder,
which has passed the upper house.
III bill, Senate 124. provides 1t shall
be lawful for the board or body hav-
ing charge or control OF the water sup
ply of any municipal corporation in this
State. which owns or controls water
works, TO enter into and make a con-
tract or contracts with any other mu-
nicipal corporation. or with any private
corporation therein, to furnish a supply
of water for public or private uses for
a year or a term of years.
The words ANY private corporation
therein" constitutes what is suspected
to be a joker. Mr.. Griffith. Of Hud-
son. was to ave looked after the bill
In the House. He was absent and
James. of Hudson, took the measure
IN charge.
Minority Leader McCran said that
there was a distinct agreement be-
tween himself and Griffin that there
should be a hearing on the measure.
He therefore moved that the bill be
recommitted. James fought the Nc
Gran motion hard, as did also Agnew,
of Hudson, but the House voted TO
recommit.

Mr.. Fisher stated hal he suspected
the accounts were not correct, and
when several of the creditors showed
receipted bills he accused Hershwlth.
The truth was admitted and the young
man was given opportunity to make
good. This he refused to do, stating
that ne would give himself up to the
police SO that he would receive his
punishment. Judge Hahn held him in
$500 bail for the action of the grand

RUNS UP STEPS Of
GALLONS; PLACES
MOOSE HIMSELF
C0nfesses Murder as He Faces
Death.=Assists in Own
Execution.

louisville, Pa, March 30.-A re-
markable display of nerve was made in
the county jail yard here today by Jo-
seph Christock. who was hanged for the
murder, last fall. of Mrs. Ann Rich
ards. Declining the preferred assist
ance of a priest and deputy sheriff, the
man walked smilingly from his cell to
the foot of the gallows and ran lightly
up the steps. It was a public hanging,
and before him stood $500 persons to
whom he waved his hand. Then he
reached up. grasped the moose and
placed it around his neck, put his arms
by his side to be strapped, and, smil-
ingly said Goodbye, all"
The nervy man then held his head In
position for the adjustment of the black
cap, and in another moment the trap
was sprung. He was dead in twelve
minutes.
Before going TO the gallows Chris
took made a complete confession, de-
he had shot the woman when
he was detected by her attempting to
mistreat her daughter. He told Of
highway robneries and burg
he had committed in the neigh
borhood. and wound up his confession
by saying that he deserved to be
for his crimes. He joked of
death to the very end.

ing arrested by the sergeant-at-arms,
there vas no quorum this morning at
the hour stated.
After waiting for half an hour thirty
members. ms less than a quorum. had
appeared on the scene. Finally Minority
Leader McCran walked in at two min
utes after IL, making a quorum. Two
more members appeared in the next
fifteen minutes and the House got down
to work.
Speaker Kenny again uttered a
warning. He said that before the day
was over he would insist upon the
House taking action against those
members who were usually absent
from their places when the Assembly
convened.
Last night the speaker told the House
that members who were sent after by
the sergeant-at-arms would have to
pay the expenses of the proceeding,
and he repeated himself to that effect
today.
He said further hat II it did not seem
that there was good excuse for the

rest and they would be expected to

arms or his deputies in finding them.

The House was placed under call this
morning. but so many bills had to be
laid over when taken up for action be-
cause the introducers of them were
not in their seats that the House made
little Roadway.
One of these bills was the Donnelly
Measure providing that no more than
eight cents a kilowatt hour shall be
charged for electricity. Donnelly was
not in his seat.

speaker. IT shall direct that a warrant
be issued for the arrest of the member

that he would make $500 by attending

Der of absentees, had to lay ove the

members 1t had little chance
