Marks End Of Rebellion

MARKS End OF Rebellion.
Washington, Oct. 24.-News Of the
recapture of Vera Cruz by Mexican
federal forces and the surrender OF
General Felix Diaz and his staff with
practically no show OF resistance was
received with establishment in official
circles here 1t Is generally believed
this event marks the complete sup
preston Of what had been look ed upon
as the beginning Of a general rebel
lion involving entirely new elements.
A brief cablegram to the state de-
partment from American Consul CAN
ada confirmed the report Of the re-
capture Of Vera Cruz by General Bel
tran. There was some fighting on the
outskirts Of the town, but only enough
to justify Captain Hughes. Of the
cruiser Des Moines, in offering medi-
cal assistance for the wounded, which
was gratefully accepted.
The sudden collapse Of the defense
after such elaborate preparations had
been made for a great battle is taken
as evidence that the strength Of the
revolutionary sentiment In Vera Cruz
city has been greatly overestimated.
Already officials and army officers
here are specializing as to the fate
Of Diaz and the other officers OF the
Mexican regular army who were led
into this uprising. From the extreme
ly courteous language in which Gen.
eral Beltran, the government COM
mander. couched his demand for the
surrender Of Vera Cruz. 1t is surmised
that the captives will be treated with
leniency, and although under strict
military law they probably would be
shot. 1t Is rather expected that they
will be imprisoned in the City Of Mex
leo, as was General Reyes.
The downfall Of the Diaz movement
leaves three rebellions in operation In
Mexico. headed respectively by Zapata
Aguilar and Orozco. 1t is presumed
the government forces employed
against Diaz will be concentrated upon
Aguilar. who Is likely to be driven
back into the mountains; that the
pursuit Of the small bands into which
Orozco's force has broken up will be
resumed, and that the only really seri-
Gus undertaking confronting the fed
eral army will be in connection with
the Zapata rebellion.
The navy department Is much
pleased with the manner in which
Captain Hughes OF the Des Moines has
handled the situation at Vera Cruz
He will be relieved shortly by Com
mander A. r. Long, who Is about to
leave Washington for Vera Cruz for
that purpose.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
W,THDRAWS PETITION

The Commercial club yesterday broke
the deadlock itself that has existed
since the application for liquor
license was presented to the county
commissioners. The club decided to
withdraw the application for the H.
cense, to take down the $751; deposit
money that had been placed with the
county clerk, to get the city license
cancelled and the money returned and
to give up the government revenue
license that had just been procured.
This action was taken yesterday aft
ernoon by the directors Of the club in
their regular meeting Commissioners
Crawford has held the license ques-
ton up for several meetings and has
refused to cast his vote one way or
the other on the application. Pack
enham and Latham divided on the
matter and the balance of power was
thrust into Crawford's hands.
The city license called for $1,000 a
year, the government revenue was but
s25 and the deposit In the hands of
the county clerk for the rest OF the
year amounted to $751;.

Capital News Special service)


Ito. Oct 24.-Burton L. French adj
dressed large audience at this place
last night. His remarks we're received
with applause and assurances were
given him that he would receive a
larger vote than his old time vote in
this section.
Mr.. French devoted most Of his ad-
dress to a discussion Of the industrial
question and pointed out the manner in
which corporations and trusts have
come to be 30 large factor in the In
dustrial world. The speaker declared
that the tendency towards concentra-
ton 10 not peculiar to the United
States. but that it is going on in every
civilized country. He gave with much
detail the history of several OF the
foremost Industrial concerns OF our
own country and showed that in nearly
every line of industry, excepting farm
ing. dairying and kindred pursuits
competition has become largely elimi-
mated as a factor, and through consoli-
dalton prices are fixed for commodities
that the public has to sell or to buy.
Great Economic Problem.
'In my judgment" declared Mr..
has arisen during the last few years
through concentration of capital in in
dustry is the most important economic
problem with which our nation has to
deal. To the extent that competition
becomes eliminated as the factor In
the control of industry, to that extent,
organized capital must submit to gov
eminent regulation and control To
that extent the industry becomes pub
lie and the people have the unquestion-
ed right to say what the terms SHAH
be under which the industry shall
transact it's business. This question is
new but fortunately we have had at
least a few years of experience IN
handling corpora tions that are of such
magnitude that their affairs have be-
come closely identified with public well
fare. refer especially to the corpora
tions engaged in freight and passenger
transportation. -'he necessity for pub
lie control and regulation of this char
acter of corporations has been ap-
parent for 80 years and more. We wit
messed favoritism shown to certain
shippers We witnessed cutthroat
competition. We witnessed the paying
of rebates. We witnessed the charg-
ing of excessive rates for freight and
passenger traffic to people without the
opportunity Of competition. We wit
messed these evils ana more and We
have tried to meet them.

Most Patriotic "Chink. !"

Cottonwood lays claim to hav-
ing the most patriotic Chinaman
in Idaho. He is named All Foo
(or Butt Gut" to use his local
nick name) and is an ordinary
laborer of some sixty summers
and winters. When approached
by the finance committee of the
celebration he gladly put up SIS
as his share and would have
doubled the amount if asked to.
Furthermore, he stated he liked
plenty fun" and said he would
secure a heap big fire cracker,
so high" measuring about five
feet, with which to celebrate the
natal day properly. Such a Ce-
lestial is certainly not to be class
ed among the undesirable citi-
zens.
