TAFT WARNS AMERICANS
The President Issues Proclamation
Requesting United States Citizens
to Shun Mexico.

Washington.-The gravity of the
situation in Mexico caused President
Taft to issue a proclamation virtual
ly warning American citizens to re-
frain from entering that country, and
those now residing there to leave
when conditions threaten to become
intolerable. The decision to issue
such warnings was reached at spe-
cial meeting of the cabinet.
The proclamation was augmented
by a telegram addressed by the state
department to Ambassador Wilson,
in the city of Mexico. The ambassa-
dor was instructed to inform Ameri-
cans in peril there to withdraw
across the border, leaving their ef-
feets in the care Of the nearest Unit
ed States consul. Copies of the tele-
grams were sent also to all consular
agents.
The presidents utterance, 1t was
explained, was in no sense recog-
milton Of the revolutionary movement
in the sister republic to the south.
Neither was 1t to be looked upon as
a declaration Of neutrality. 1t was de-
clared the utterance was solely a
warning to Americans to avoid any
thing that might SAVIOR of partisan
ship in the existing state of affairs.
The proclamation is interpreted
further as an expression of this
countrys intention to avoid by ev-
cry possible means any chance of in
PREVENTION.

MILLION MINERS ON STRIKE
All Coal Mines jim England Are Clos
ed by the Strike.


carbohydrates of three-quar-
tiers of a million coal miners laid
down their tools and went out on a
strike.
Meetings were held by the Coal
Miners Federation and the Coal own
ers' Association, but they apparently
only resulted in a reiteration OF the
refusal of the participants to bulge
from their respective positions.
Further meetings are announced,
but little is expected to result from
them and as consequence the oabi-
net completed arrangements to hurry
legislation which may prove neees-
sary in order to compel a resumption
of work.
A number of meetings of railroad
employees passed resolutions pledg-
ing themselves to abstain from haul
ing troop trains and coal produced
by non-unionists.
Mr.. Asquith is said to have given
an assurance to the miners dele
gates that means would be found to
compel the minority of the coal own
ers to fall into line with the majority
on the question of the concession of
- minimum wage.

ANARCHY AND BRIGANDAGE
So Advices to Washington Paint Sit
uation in Merico.

Undergraduates to the gov
eminent from points along the Next
can border, as well as in the inte'
rior, continue to paint a picture OF
brigandage and anarchy, hitherto un'
paralleled in the republic below the
Rio Grande.
Though unorganized the spirit OF
revolution, from dispatches received
here, seems to pervade the entire re-
public. In the state of Chihuhua the
situation is most serious. The report
of Gen. Pascual Orozco's desertion of
the Madero standard was confirmed
to the satisfaction of government of
ficials here.
Apprehension now is felt for the
safety of numerous foreigners in the
city of Chihuahua, the objective point
of the rebel movement in the north.
Reports of a mobilization of insur-
rectos at that city and intermittent
lighting reached here in belated tele-
grams.

Mexico City.-Publieation Of the
Taft proclamation and the statement
issued by Ambassador Wilson operat-
ed to calm the aroused fears of for
eigners in the capital to a large ex.
tent. There was still a strong I'M
dercurrent of uneasiness apparent.
Many chose 10 read between the lines
of the declaration hidden message
which they interpreted as possibly
the most pointed warning that could
come out Of Washington at this time
that Intervention would likely follow
a continuance Of the disorders.

Tallahassee.-The above telegram
sets at rest any question relative to
a change in the date for the prima-
ries, as fixed by the state Democratic
executive committee, at its meeting
on January 16.
In view of the fact that the com,
mittee will adhere to its original in.
tention to hold the primaries on April
80 and May IS, the time for the pay,
ment of poll tax must necessarily, un,
der the state law, expire on March 8,
Citizens of the county, who meet the
requirements OF. law and who desire
to participate in the Forthcoming
elections, are urged to qualify on or
before this date.
IN this connection, the ruling Of
the committee is of particular inter,
est at this time and is as follows:
Those and only those persons shall
be permitted to vote at or partici-
pate in the management Of any pri-
mary election held by the Democrat,
&c party in Florida who are white
Democratic electors, who declare
their adherence to the principles and
organization of the Democratic par
ty, national, state and county, who
are by the laws of the state lawful
electors of the district in which they
offer to vote, who have paid their poll
taxes legally due the second Satur-
day in the month preceding such pri'
mary election, and who shall, when
challenged by any elector, make in
writing his oath before an inspector
that he supported the nominees OF
the last Democratic primaries for the
nomination of state and county off,
GERS, provided he participated in said
primaries, and that he will support
the nominees of this primary.
The proposition to postpone the
first primary until May l, instead OF
April 80, would grant an extension
of thirty-fve days in the payment OF
poll tax and in the opinion of a great
many people, would result in a heav'
Ter registration. On the other hand,
this argument was denied by many
others who advanced the opinion that
it would merely encourage persons in,
tending to qualify to delay the pay.
ment of poll tax, thereby obtaining
the use of their money for an add,
tional thirty-fve days.

Pekln.

Pekin. - Eight hundred foreign
troops patrolled the outskirts of the
legation quarter for three hours, but
there were no disturbances. There
are now 1900 foreign troops in Pekin,
and the natives feel safe. Five thou
sand Japanese troops have been or
dered from Port Arthur to Tien Tsin,
where there are only $500 foreign
soldiers.
Most of Yuan Shi Kai's troops left
Pekin for Pao Ting Flu to suppress
the mutiny. The cannonading was
caused by an attack by the munti-
neers on Tung Chew, which was oc-
cupied and sacked. The homes Of
many mobiles and princes in Pekin
have been looted. More than 100 ex-
ecutions have taken place. For the
most part the victims were civilians,
The Marking delegates have ap-
pointed four of their number to re.
turn to Marking to explain the views
of the foreign powers and impress
upon the Marking republicans the
necessity of supporting Yuan Shi Kai
and the desirabilyity of the Marking

tablish a strong coalition. Neither
the Pekin government nor the dele.
gates believe It will be necessary for
the power to intervene, although both
are well pleased with the demonstra-
ton for the foreign troops as mark
of disapProval of lawlessness.
The legations consider it judicious
to support Yuan Shi Kai as the quick.
est and surest means of overcoming
the general spirit Of anarchy.
AS the railway between Pekin and
Tien Tsin is again open, the 200
American troops of the Fifteenth in
fantry. under Major James NJ. Arros,
smith, arrived here. The Americans
left Tien Tsin and came through with
out incident, although they had plac.
ed maxim gun on a fat car in
front Of the engine in case 1t might
be needed. The fact that company
of the Somerset infantry at Feng
Tai deployed for the purpose OF
driving back the mutinous regiment
from the railway is accepted here as
evidence that the foreign powers will
intervene so far as 1t is necessary
to keep up communication along the
railway from Pekin to the sea.

SUSPENDS LOW RATE RULING
Commerce Court Annuls Order Of In

Washington.-An order of the inter.
state commerce commission reducing
certain class freight rates from New
Orleans to Montgomery; Selma and
Mobile, Ala, and to Pensacola, Fla,
was annulled by decision of the COM
merce court.
The decision, handed down by
Judge Archibald, is certain TO add con-
siderable fuel to the controversy al
ready acute between the interstate
commerce commission and the com
merce court.
The court declares that congress
never intended to clothe the commits
sion with the wide authority it has
assumed
1t is asserted the court could dis
cover nothing in the record in sup
port of the conclusion of the com.
mission or to justify the reductions
in rates that it ordered.

this we can only say that we do not be-
lieve that any of the other candidates

Midtbo is not to be considered, as his en-
try into the race is but his perennial cam

Messrs. Hanna and Buchanan are tied
to various machines and interests, and
If either one secures the nomination and
election the successful candidate will be
compelled to consider ties that bind
first, and the wishes Of the people last.
There never has been q time in Mr.. John
sons career when he was as free as he
10 now. He has made absolutely no
promises to any gangs, machines or
cliques-and he is asking no support
