NEW ELECTION LAW.
Mexico Will Follow French Plan of
Choosing q President.

Mexico City, May 1S.-During the re-
cent diplomatic exchanges between
the government and the leaders of the
revolution which resulted in the prof
fered resignation of President Diaz and
Vice President Corral agreement on
Foreign Minister De La Barra as act
ing president and the arrangement of
a general armistice as a basis for
peace the government drafted a new
election law for submission to the
chamber of deputies and under which
the election of Diaz's successor will be
held. The measure, so far as is consist
ent, follows the French law, under
which the national executive is elected
for seven years by an absolute ma
jority of votes by the senate and cham
Der of deputies united in national as
sembly or congress. Heretofore the
Mexican national government has con-
Quoted the elections through the local
mayors, who presided at the polling
The mayors passed on the eligibility of
voters and counted the ballots. Their
powers, linked with the obligations
to the national administration caused
the government to be accused of fraud.
Under the proposed law the mayors
must keep their hands off. Candidates
will conduct their own campaigns and
their representatives will control the
registration lists and count the ballot :
The whole design of the bill is to place
franchise completely in the hands of
the voters. For the benefit of those
who cannot read, the name of each
candidate will be printed in an ex-
elusive color on vari-colored ballot
sheets. Thus they may scratch off the
colors in which the name of opposing
candidates appear, leaving only the
color and name of the voters choice
1t is admitted that the first election
under the new system will be a crude
affair, but it will be, according to popu-
lar belief, step in the right direction
Doubtless there will be some disorders,
but the government hopes that these
will be local and comparatively easy of
suppression,

After a Long Siege.

Rebels Capture the Town OF Corsaia
After a Long Siege.
Culiacan, State of Simaloa, via No
gales, Mexico. May 1S.-News has Juss
reached here of a II days battle when
has left the town of Corsala, IN the
mountains southeast of Culacan, oeso-
late. A force of rebels said 10 nave
numbered 1,400 assaulted the toWii
which has a population of 1000 and was
garrisoned by 400 federals. The night
ing continued with little intermlsslon
during the entire period. The defenders
were given no opportunity to bury tnelc
dead and bodies fell from roofs ana
barbados and lay in the tropical sun
until finally the federal commando
marched out under a white flag he
offered to surrender the town IL the
rebels would agree to let them move
out with the honors of war and guar
antee not to destroy the government
records. These conditions were accept
ed by the rebels. The reports Indicate
that this battle was one of the most
sanguinary Of the war.
Culiacan is in momentary expecta-
ton of attack, its only hope being the
news that the armiStice will reach the
insurrectos and they will abide by it
This city of $4,000 people has in 1t 500
Americans, many of them driven in
from surrounding ranches. Its garri-
son numbers 400 only, some OF them
volunteers, but it is guarded with ten
machine guns and is able to put up
stout defense. Its seaport, Altate, As
miles distant, was captured last Friday
by the rebels who have not since per-
mitted steamers to land, thus cutting
off all shipments from Guaymas.
The rebels also have captured Imala,
IL miles south of Culiacan; Lemon, IL
miles north, and San Lorenzo, 40 miles
south. The combined strength of these
rebel bands Is probably not far from
5000. Another town captured by the
rebels is Navalata, 10 miles west of the
Nelson Jay Rhodes sugar factory.
The plant previously had been forced
to shut down by the enlistment of its
workmen in the revolutionary cause.
At Navalata the official documents
were burned and tribute was levied
upon the inhabitants.
The battle of Tamazula in which fed
erals annihilated a rebel command I'M
der Henry Clayton, an American, who
was killed, was marked by many
atrocities. Clayton had prominent gold
teeth, which a federal soldier knocked
out with his musket and afterward
sold.
Mazatlan was still in the hands of the
federals on Tuesday. Danger of pesti-
lence is growing more menacing.

revival of the report of a merger and
there was extensive buying of United

TEXAS LEADS ALL STATES.
f1rst In Railroad Mileage of 1890
Illinois Second, 1000.

San Antonio. Tex. May 1S.-It is a
TACT which may not be generally
known that Texas leads all the states
in the union in the number of miles of
railroad, having all told, 1880 miles.
The state with the nearest approach
to this is Illinois. with a little more
that 1000 miles of road. The longest
road in any political division of the
earth s surface, unless it be that in
Siberia, is in Texas. The Southern Pa
cific, stretching through this state
from Orange, near the eastern border
to Ell Paso is almost 1000 miles in
length. while the Missouri Pacific is
represented in the Gould holdings,
with line extending from the north
east in southwesterly direction to
Laredo on the southern border of the
state. distance of more than 500
miles These are perhaps the two
longest stretches of roads in the state
But while Texas has more miles of
road than any other state in the
Union, there are many places in the
state where one could be more than
100 miles from any railroad. At the
rate road building is going on in Texas,
a few years will see the aggregate ap-
preaching 10000 miles, or perhaps
passing that number.

AGAINST HEADLIGHT BILL.
ReversiOn of Antagonistic Feeling on
Adverse Legislation.

AS an Indication of the possible re-
version of antagonistic feeling toward
railroads, says the Railway Record, it
is interesting to note that the electric
headlight bills introduced during the
last session in the following states
were not passed: North Dakota, Wis
consin, Kansas, Minnesota, Colorado,
Tennessee and Alabama. South Da-
kota. perhaps the most radical of the
states throughout the west. failed to
make use of their emergency clause"
which precluded the possibility of being
referred to the people when they de-
cided on the electric headlight bill.
Thus, the people of South Dakota will
have a chance to vote on it as they
did at the last general election, at
which time the electric headlight bill
was defeated. What is known as 1.-THE
Full Crew. bill has failed to receive
the favorable approval of the legisla-
tors of Missouri and Kansas.

RAILWAY NOTES.

The expansion of the Canadian gov
eminent railway system by connecting
with the Inter-Colonial Is branch lines
totalling $50 miles, in length, is indi-
railways. This addition, coupled with
the Nova Scotia branches, which the
government is taking power to build.
will make the Inter-Colonial one of the
great trunk line systems of Canada.
The leases are to be for SO years. The
Inter Colonial earned a substantial sur
plus for the government last year.
The steel industry has not changed
for two weeks. The steadiness of the
present flow of business seems to indi-
cate that the readjustment is over and
that the next change should be for the
better. The railways are expected to
place large orders toward the end of
June.
The Paris bourse has listed 10000 0Oe
common stock of the Atchisont Topeka

Santa Fe a broader market in France
in which to do any future financing.
