 This action by the chamber of dep uties is regarded as one of peculiar significance It is not taken to mean the loss of prestige by President Elect Madero. or by any of his re- zine but it is taken to mean that the legislators are not disposed to permit the Madero ascendancy with out a careful scanning of the means by which it is accomplished At the same time it is pointed out that the proceeding will be in sense farcIcal If the expected happens the minister of finance will be asked merely to account for one of his own financial transactions.

Instead of this they arranged to pay the men outside the malls Special police were on guard.
 The appearance of a Southern Paci- fife employe with a camera among the pickets occasioned some surprise this morning and for a time it was feared his efforts to take photographs of the picketers would cause trouble. X few men openly invited the photographer to take their pictures, a few dared him take theirs. but for the most part the picketers turned their backs when he pointed the instrument their way. Both the photographer and superintendent Sheridan, who accompanied him, re- fused to state why the pictures are wanted
