Washington, March 16. - Careful

there may be that they are to be used

would have 70 pass.
As to Arturo La Madrid, who was
reported on the private car which
passed through several western points
today, he was recalled by MeXicans
here as a wealthy plantation owner
from the city of Guadalajara,
Neither the Mexican embassy nor
the revolutionists prnfessed TO know
whether Senor La Madrid and Senior
imantour had conferred in New
York, though the suggestion was
ventured by the revolutionist con-
tngent that Senior La Madrid might
have extended to the Mexican min
ister of finance the use of his private
car.
The importance of Senior Imam
tours return TO Mexico City. it was
said, lies in the fact that coincident
with certain changes in the cabinet of
President Diaz. reforms would be in
stituted in the administration of vari-
Gus states calculated to appease the
revolutlonists.
The fact that changes are To be
made in the Mexican cabinet is no
longer secret. The embassy here
declined to discuss the subject of pos
sible changes.
In the pivotal post of Minister of
Foreign Affairs, 1t was pointed out
by DR.. Come, President Diaz prob
ably realizes that he would not meet
with as much opposition by placing
Senior Limantour there as by retain
ing senor Creel. The latter, Or.
Gomez believes, may be made minis
ter of finance; but the name of Senof
Nunez, now assistant minister oil
finance, has been suggested FOR the
position.
one reason for the selection OF
Senior Limantour for the position OF
minister of foreign affairs in the be-
lief that in that role he will be able
to exercise an inuence on the insur-
recto element for the cause of peace
Dr. Gomez said the revolutionists
would not think of peace until the
governors of Coahuila, Sonora, lata-
cas-. Durango, Guerrero, Yucatan
Hidalgo and the state of Mexico were
changed.
AS to the overtures for peace, Whlcn
it is reported were made in confer
ences in New York between Francisco
Madero, father of the revolutlonls'
leader, and Senor Limantour, Dr
Gomez asserted as the two men were
intimate friends, it was only natural
that they should discuss peace meas
ures, but whether the Madero sons
would be Influenced by unofficial ano
informal overtures was another ques'
| ton.
1t was admitted, however, tha'
Senor Llmantour became fully ad'
vised of the contentious of the reVo'

ARCHIE ROOSEVELT DOES
112 MILES HORSEBACK STUNT

Phoenix. Ariz., March f6.-When
Theodore Roosevelt meets his son,
Archie, of the Evans school near
Mesa, the usual JOY of a father meet
ing son after separation of con-
siderable time will be somewhat ac-
centuated by the ex-president's GER
tain application of feat which
Archie performed last Monday, a
week. Mr.. Roosevelt is going to have
something to say about IT, unless ne
has abjured his doctrine of the siren
uous life, which is unlikely, to say the
least, and the warm congratulations
of his pater families will be gener-
cusly accorded to Archie. This feat
may be described as "Rooseveltian
in every respect and 1t consisted oil
horseback ride so extended as to be
entirely beyond the endurance OF
most men. In the company OF Mr.
Evans, the superintendent of the
school which Archie 'as attended Tor
nearly year, the Young man COW
cred 112 miles in the saddle in one
day, without any stop or rest save lor
eating. and watering the horses. IL
is not known what route the horse
men followed, but the distance, the
number of miles covered, Is the main
thing about it which indicates tho
transmission Of an iron spirit from
father to son,
IL will be remembered that Mr..
Roosevelt. several years ago, rode
100 miles for the purpose of demon
stratng his powei Jf endurance 10
the officers of the army. whose phy-
sicaI condition and fitness for the
rigor of campaign service did not
seem satisfactory to him.Mr. Roose-
welt O much older man than the ma
jority of Officers then In service, stoou
the trip well, and came back FEELING
bully" and recommending similar
tryout to them. This admontion of
the strenuous president doubtless had
| its effect In increasing the war eftl-
cheney of the army. The hundred mile
ride was made on four horses. Mr.
Roosevelt changing every 70 miles.
The ride of Archie is Just triile
ahead cf his fathers In strenuosity
owing to the fact that he rode IL
miles farther and changed but once,
The day before the long excursion
with Mr.. Evans young Roosevelt had
a bad mix up with a horse at the
school stables and in the scrimmagc
had his foot tramped on. This hurt
considerably. but not sufficiently to
deter the young man from his lons
ride.

BELIEVED LIMANTOUR'S
MESSAGE OF PEACE

New York. March l6.-The sudden
departure from New York of Senor
Limantour. Mexican minister OF
finance, after a week of conferences
and negotiations, is now explained by
the understanding that he has sue
ceeded in effecting a tentative plan
by which substantial reforms are ex-
pected to begin Immediately. They
will be put into effect by the Mexican
government and the leading insurrec-
tionists are satisfied and they have
promised to aid in restoring peace.
Senior Limantour bears with him
the fun expression of the demands of
the insurrectionists, which, ii is
hoped, will be acceptable to the Mex
lean government and be made the
basis of peace. The presence here at

fact that Limantour has been through

lister and Mexico City. added signfi-
