 territories several times. bui ther~ has not been any definite action oS account of several delays for one thing and another. The purpose for which the president called the extrs secsion-the ratification of the Can s6iEn reciprocity agreement has i'sean scarcely mentioned up to the present time and on the whole the i5utiook points to q long session. s,hich will run well into the sum lunsr.
 Dispatches rom the City of Mex ico this morning are encouraging to those who much desire to see the trouble in Mexico come to an end and the complete routing of the in surrecto forces at Agua Prieta will no doubt have the effect of making the insurrectos less stubborn in their demands regarding the retirement of Diaz. It is rumored in Mexico City that the terms offered for an armis- tice includes the demand that Presi- dent Diaz shall resign within five months, but 1t is not likely that this would be agreed to. though many believe that Diaz will leave the presidential office when peace has been restored. and the reforms which he has recommended are worked out and put on their way to accom- pHshment Madero will miss a gol- den opportunity now if he refuses any reasonable concession in cor sideration of his abandonment of | hostilities. Whether entirely true or not the world will recognize that the important reforms promised by President Diaz in his recent mes sage to congress will be accepted as the result of the insurrection started | by Madero, which has so rapidly spread over the country. ~Notwith- standing the widespread sympathy for the causes assigned for the rev olution Aadero has been unable 70 bring together an organized force of any considerable number, and he has been unable to establish a per lmanent seat for his provisional gov .ernment Where small bands of in- surrectos have appeared at times in almost every section of the country they have been unable to capture and hold single important point and their opportunities for their do- ling so in the very near future are not very good. The result of the fight at Agua Prieta has shown that an army of emn without discipline, organization or training are no match for the regular soldiers of the Mexican army. Madero might be able to continue the desultory war fare that has been going on during .b. loo. ,s-o ,.on ,,o,fbs ona finally organize a dependable army. but that must take time and great deal of money. In the end he would win no more than what has been promised him. and which has been published to the world by President Diaz himself The con itinuance of the war can only mean greater suffering by the nOn-com- battants and the further destruction Fof every business enterprise. Al ready the states of Sonora and Chi huahua have been practically devas- tated, and there is but little left in either of these states for tho sup port of either fnsurrectos or non combatants. This condition it would seem would insure the acceptance by Madero of any reasonable proposit- ion for peace and this paper expects to see a cessation Of hositlities in the very near future. Of course any peace agreement accepted by Madero will not stop many marauding bands from operating in the isolated dis tricts, but with peace secured among the leaders of both sides to the con fiict it will not take long to secure a condition 9f safety throughout the country SO that business enterprises may he resumed
