.L|MANTOUR SAYS
CRISIS IS GREAT
Admits Change of Attitude of
People Toward Diaz.
MAY BRING ABOUT REFORMS
Mexican Minister Declares Govern
uent Will, However, Continue Its
Military Program Against In
surrectos for the Present.

Mexico City, Mex-Admitting that
the Diaz administration had no
definite plans for the solution OF
the Instruction problem confront
ing it, Minister of Finance Limantour,
stated that Mexico was facing a more
serious crisis than he had ever be-
lieved existed
It has no alternative but to con-
tinue the military program upon
which It has entered.
Notwithstanding the governments
aggressive attitude, reforms which are
intended to remedy the alleged griev-
ances complained Of are under con-
sideration.
The most important of these re-
forms is that relative to the revision
of the electoral laws. This is a con-
crete outline of the situation as pre-
sented by Mr.. Limantour to a news
paper correspondent today. following
q meeting Of the cabinet.
That a great change in the attitude
of the people toward the administra-
ton has taken place within the time
that Minister Limantour has been
abroad was a significant admission
made by him. The administration,
he said, was conducting a searching
investigation to determine the exact
cause and to find a remedy for the
existing sentiment
There is no disposition on its part
to oppose any wise reforms which are
demanded by reasonable public. At
the same time the administration does
not propose to accede to demands
backed up by arguments of arms,
In a word, the administration recog
nizes two classes in the dissatisfied
republic, one represented by the In
telligent but non-combatant element,
and the other by the followers Of
Madero.
For the latter. the administration
has no terms other than those formu-
lated at the war department
Such is the program announced by
Mr.. Limantour as the result of con
ferences with the president and with
other members Of the cabinet Mr..
Limantour frankly expressed surprise
at the antagonism toward the admin
istration which he has discovered.
FL Paso, Tex.-Conditions in the
war afflicted parts of northern
Mexico are rapidly growing worse
From north of Chihuahua City 225
miles TO the border, and westward into
Sonora state, the insurrectos are sur
rounding the towns with view to in
duce non-combatants TO join their
ranks and TO keep supplies from be-
ing taken from the country. Refugees
who are reaching the border declare
many non-combatants are facing star
walton.
An American connected with a mine
near Casas Grandes said
"In few weeks, instead of sending
troops into Mexico the United States
will probably have to send relief
trains. The position OF non-combat-
ants is rapidly becoming like that of
the 'reconcentrados' during the Cuban
instruction"
Within the last week Francisco l.
Madero, the revolutionary president,
Is said to have increased his force
from 1000 to 1900 men, all well sup
piled with ammunition. He is report
ed to be operating to prevent General
Rabago from relieving the federal
forces who are besieged Mt Casas
Grandes.

RABBIT SAUSAGE.

Down in Georgia there Is gastronom
&c JOY over the discovery OF a new
table delicacy IN the form Of rabbit
sausage The benefactOr to mankind
who made the discovery lives in
Wilkes county. and there is more re
JOiclng N Wilkes over enc Molly Hare
made into mincemeat than over ninety
and nine specimens of the same that
have been fried. stewed. boiled and
barbecued. The good news is gradual
1y percolating into other parishes. The
Inventor Of rabbit sausage is showing
no disposition to bottle up his rare re
cipe. to peddle patent rights or to put
in a claim for royalties. II was in
Georgia that President Taft made his
first acquaintance with 'possum. and
now all the Georgians are saying that
the proud. marsupial, nocturnal bird
is not deserving of mention In the
same breath with rabbit sausage. says
the Louisville Courier-Journal The
president Will have new epicurean
experience coming to him the next
time he sets foot on Georgian soil
Rabbit sausage looks good at long
range. Those who like rabbit in the
various forms In which # is wont to be
served in Kentucky would need little
persuasion to join In an assault upon
wilkes county's latest production in
the line of high-class eats" Those
who are fortunate enough to recall the
famous country sausage that once was
to be had in nearly every Kentucky
farmhouse in its proper season will be
hard TO convince that anything better
ever was or ever will be discovered.

OLD TEXAS WEATHERs SHELLS
Gunners Shoot Canvas Equipment on
San Marcos to Tatters.

Norfolk, Va.-For five hours the
old battleship San Marcos, formerly
the Texas, was under fire from the
big 12-inch guns of the battleship New
Hampshire Just how much damage
was done the old hero of the Spanish
American war is known only to Off
cials of the navy department. 1t is
known, however, that the old ship
was not so badly damaged as many
expected, and perhaps the only re-
pairs necessary are the replacing of a
few plates, a new smokestack and the
substitution of modern fighting masts
in place of the fighting tops that were
shot away.
On both sides OF the smokestack
was stretched large sheets of canvas.
After the first three shots from the
New Hampshire the canvas was in
rags.
The Texas was stripped of every
thing of value on her decks except her
two 12-inch guns amidships. The can
vas was supposed to represent a real
ship, with all her equipment on deck

Attorney General Bancroft expressed
satisfaction at the agreement reached
on the states claim, which, he said,
was al that the state was entitled to.
The recent settlements of inheritance
tax claims are an indication of how
important the tax is to the state in
adding to it's revenues. Since the LIST
of January, under the direction of the
attorney generals department settle
ments with four estates have added
about $685. 900 to the states revenues,
and the total income from the inheri-
lance tax this year by April l will ex-
coed $600,0 Mr.. Bancroft says.
From the Kennedy estate, New
York, the state receives 1856, 900; from
the Simmons and Jessup estates of
Kenosha, $4,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively, and now from the Tilfords
New York, estate about $4,000 The
Marshall Field estate has still &c pay.
This is very large estate and large
part of it is in Chicago & Milwaukee,
Chicago & Northwestern, Omaha and
other Wisconsin corporations. 1t is
understood that the attorney generals
department is already engaged on the
states inheritance tax claim against
this estate.

State Growth in Sugar Production.
Under the new census of cane and
beet sugar establishments, the state
of Wisconsin which, IN 1899, pro-
duced so small an amount that it was
included in a group of states, has a
separate classification. The total
value of her sugar production in 1903
from four establishments was 1866
600 against $4,000 in 1904. Granu-
lated sugar was valued at S1,249,000
and molasses at $6S,000, an increase
in the latter produce from $4,000 five
years before.
The number of establishments en-.
gagged in the manufacture of beet
sugar in the United States increased
during the decade 1T per cent; the
number of acres planted in beets In
creased 207 per cent; the quantity Of
beets produced. 399 per cent, and the
average production per acre, 81 per
cent.
The increase in the number of es-
Establishments does not correctly rep
resent the development Of the industry,
as the value of products increased
from $7,324,OOO to s4s,122,O 900, or 557
per cent. The quantity Of graduated
sugar increased from $1,000 tons to
496. 800 tons and the value from
S., 5s1, 900 to $45,e46,000. Raw sugar
sold as such decreased in quantity,
which indicates that the manufacture
ers are now refining larger percent

label Hits jail and urges Paroie-'
That county jails in Wisconsin are
anterooms Of he'll and seminaries of
crime, that society lost by putting
men in prison instead of paroling
them, and that school teachers were
more needed in reformatries than 20
iicemen, were the declarations by Dis
trict Attorney label before the Elev-
enth Ward Neighborhood club in
Eleventh district school.
Society puts the criminals in pris-
on" said Mr.. label, where 1t must
support them, and where. under pres
ent conditions, they become more IA
miliar with vice, and it must at the
same time support their families.
Men are sentenced to long terms,
often unjust in proportion to the crime
and they must stay in confinement
until their sentence is served out, al
though they may have been cured or
their criminal instincts long before In
furnishing a man so severely, society
destroys a life, and spends a large
sum TO do 1t. while by paroling him or
sending him to hospital, perhaps, he
might be cured and become of value
to the community.
This county jails are clearing
houses for criminal knowledge. Young
men and women, often innocent, are
put into them to await trial, and when
they come out are finished criminals.
