The rivers are rising rapidly as re-

Cairo on the Ohio and Mississippi
and their tributaries. The heavy
rains of tho past two days have been
unusual and it is now expected that
a stage of As or 46 feet may be
reached at Cairo on the present rise.
The subway bulkhead which was
opened over the street car traek
several days ago has again been
closed. Jailer Lutz and his workmen
were called yesterday morning at
O'Clock to close the opening. They
found foot or more of water over
the subway sewer and the water
pouring into the trap. This tran is

Mexico CITY, MEX, April 20
With two armies face to face in the
north, and neither seemingly willing
to force the. ISSUE. there today ap-
peared to be little change in the
status of the revolution over that of
q week ago. Reports from the two
camps are conflicting as to their rela-
tive strength.
A man who made his way from
Escalon into Torreon reported
Orozcos strength was now less than
Z 900, of whom only about 5000
were armed, the rest being divided
into foraging parties. Hundreds OF
his men are said to have made their
way into Durango. to take advantage
of General Heurta's offer of amnesty
Federals Are Delayed.
On the other hand the federal
commander appears unwilling to ad-
vance. The federals are profting by
the delay to drill their recruits. II
is regarded as unlikely that Orozco
will advance much below Ascalon
and that the expected battle Will not
take place until General Huerta de-
termines to proceed northward.
The revolutions appear to have
made headway on the west coast.
Calican in Sinaloa is in rebel con-
troA and, it is said to have been
sacked without restraint.
Mazatland Fate Uncertin.
The fate of Mazatland, In the
SAME state. is uncertain. Minister Of
COMMUNICATIONS Bonilla a native Of
Sinaloa, is of the opinion that the
coast town still is safe, although
wire communication has been inter-
rupted and no word was received
from there.
Tepc, since the rout of some
thousand or more rebels, is said to
be still held by the federals.
zapitastas are said to be active in
Cuernazaca and train service was
Iabandoned after the slaughter OF
nine rurales of an escort, who sought
| to protect train three days ago.
Disturbances were reported along
the line of the Pan-Amerlcan Rail-
way in Chaipas and southernOaxaca,
but generally Pueblo and 0axaca
seem to be quiet.
Army is Increased.
| The Chamber of Deputies author
| lied last week the increase of the
army to 10000 men and voted an
appropriation of $10,000,000 in gold
for the purpose. Speaking against
the bill, yesterday, Representative
Granados, minister Of the interior,
in the De la Barra cabinet declared
that moreb lood had, been shed ii
Mexico during the last five months
than during the thirty years Of Diaz
administration, and say such a con-
dition as the present has not existed
since the fall of Macmillan.
The bill met with strong opposi-
tion and called forth acrimonious
debate in 'whicb. General Diaz was
eulogized and the Madero govern
ment characterized as a failure.

REGISTRATION LAW
MEANS MORE WORK
New System of Paying Regis
tration Officials Ordered
by the State.
Continued on Page Four)

At the request of the state beard OF
accounts, Lewis Bowman. county aud
itor. will employ a different method In
paying the expenses of the registration
board following the coming registra-
ton period than on the first registra-
tion day. The state board of accounts
has requested the county auditors to
issue checks to every inspector. clerk.
and owner of the rented room or rooms
in each precinct. instead of issuing one
check to each inspector of the sixty
four precincts and instructing the In
spector to pay the clerks and owner OF
the rooms in his precinct.
The new method suggested by the
State board will necessitate consider
able extra work on the part of the aud
itor and deputy auditors.
when 1t comes to paying these men
there will be rush in this office and
some will have to stand in line for
some time" said Auditor Bowman to-
day. "as it will be impossible to fill out
the checks beforehand. because we do
not know whether there will be one.
two or three days at this period for
registration. Instead OF there being
sixty-four checks to issue there will
be between two hundred and three
hundred"
| One of the motives for this change
in the method of paying those connect
ed with the registration board Is to
collect delinquent tax, in case any
member of the registration board Is in
arrears with his taxes. Each member
| of the board as well as the person re-
ceiving the check for the room rent.
must go to the county treasurer to
have the check cashed. Before cash
/ ing the instrument the treasurer will
look up the tax duplicates and IL he
finds that any one presenting a check
owes delinquent tax. he will subtract
the amount of delinquent tax from the
amount of the check. paying the bal
ance to the person presenting the
| check.

Pocontico Hills.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Following an
extended conference with John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., William J. Burns, the
detective today took personal charge
of the hunt being made for the desper-
ADDE'S, who for the past few weeks
have held the estate of John D. Rookie
feller, the Oil magnate, at Pocantico
Hills in a state of terror. Efforts on
the part of the local police to appre-
hend the crooks, who, within the past
few days have hot two of the en-
ployes of the Rockefeller estate, held
up and robbed a number of others and
spread terror throughout the entire
community, have been unsuccessful
The trouble which has held the Po-
contico home of the oil magnate in a
state of terror began three weeks ago
when several employees were discharg-
ed following complaints lodged with
the superintendent. The discharged
men Immediately began sending
threats to the men retained that un-
less they quit work they would be
severely dealt with. No attention was
paid to the warning and few days
later an employe on the way to the
estate was waylaid and seriously in
jured. Others were held up at night
on the road and robbed. Toward the
end of last week another employe was
shot and seriously wounded. For the
past ten days the estate has been guar
ded by armed men and all suspicious
persons have been warned away.
