 Pride and love of country force all most all Mexicans to. resent the sug- gestion of intervention but hundreds can be found who privately will admit that there is small chance for this government to put an end to the re :. bellion. A large part of these prob ably wou'd fight should foreign army enter Mexico, but even then it is doubtful if there would not be a great passive element, content to denounce the foreign foe but without carrying a gun.

CHINESE REFORM.

London, Sept. 21.-An important program in the interest of reform has been drawn up and agreed to by the four Chinese leaders. President Yuan Shi kai exprovisional President Sun Vat Sen, Vice President Ii Yien Hens and Acting Premier Huang Sing. ac- cording to the Daily Mails Picking correspondent T program, he says represents an agreement between the oposing parties. and on the question |of centralization, is a compromise be tween Yuan Shi Kai- and Ii Ynen Heng. The following are the princi- pal readings of the program
 The empire is to be placed under 2 uniformed system of government: the military system is to be centralized, !, China will be opened to foreign capi taito carry on every industary calcu- lated to benefit the people, while ev- cry encouragement will be given to agriculture. forestry and industrial and commercial enterprises.

 not difficult to find scores of Mexi- cans who agree that their government is almost helpless
 President Madero began his cam. paign against the rebels on the old
 premise that we have the men and we have the money assuming, there- fore, that the government was bound to win. The government has not lost and it may win, but it is by no means certain that it has enough men and
 it is certain that money is scarce.
 The rebel army of the north, due largey to the difficulties encountered in getting ammunition, has been forc- ed to divide into light columns but t is still in existence xnd worryng the federal army more, perhaps. than t did when 1t was massed along the Mexican Central railway north and south of Chihuahua.
 In the south the Zapatlstas and Salgadistas and various other groups are more formidable than they were when Madero went into office almost a year ago Instead of suppressing the rebellion the government has per- mitted 1t to expand. Instead of life and property of non combatants being made more safe they have been made more precarious and slowly the rebels appear to be losing that respect they once had for foreigners and their property.
 An army much larger than that now in the field might make more prog ress in restoring order but Mexicans have not crowded the recruiting of fices and companies of volunteers
 have in few cases been made up of prisoners, some of whom chose mill- tary service as a substitute for prison life and some of whom were deliber ately forced into the army. Life in the army. even to crush a rebellion. has not appealed to the average Mex ican whose attitude toward the diffi- culties of the administration is wholly passive.
 If the government can secure the money 1t is possible the struggle may
 be prolonged. It is costing something like ,500 GOO pesos fs1,750,0 ,000) a month to continue the war. Two loans

Burns gave out a statement in which he said woman held him while the two men btat him into unconsciousness.
 He said he went to a saloon in ra sponse to information received that two men had been spending money freely in the place and they were be- lieyed to be tlieys.
 One of the men," said Burns. "be- came suspicious of me and remarked that he was going for walk. drew my revolver and covered both men and said if they took walk 1t would be with me. Then a woman came up behind me and held me while the men knocked me senseless."
 A man, said to be go between, is reported to have informed the police today that the bank robbers were ne-  gotiating to buy immunity from arrest when they were surprised by the ap- pearance of Lieutenant Burns.
 According to the story, a police of ficer discovered that four of the rob- beTs were hiding in Chicago and de- handed s100,000 as the price of his silence. Under plan said to have been suggested, each of four police officers were to receive $25000, Two of the robbers. it is said. had agreed to pay the sum, but the others re- fused. declaring the amount demand ed to be exorbitant.

OVATION FOR CARSON.
Greeted Enthusiastically in Campaign
 Against Home Rule.


 Londonderry Sept. 21.--Sir Edward Carson, former solicitor general from Ireland. today continued his campaign in Ulster county against home rule for Ireland. He was the recipient Of remarkable ovation. Cheering crowds lined his route from the rail- way station to the guild hall, dis tance of two miles, while others form ed in procession and escorted him to his destination. The streets were gaily decorated.
 The enthusiasm eliminated tonight in big demonstration at the Guild hall at which the duke of Abercorn presided. Sir Edward said the cove nant, which all the Ulster unionists would sign September 2S, pledging themselves to stand together, Sin de- lending our cherished position Of equal citizenship in the United King dom and in usng all means which may be found necessary to defeat the pres ent conspiracy to set up home rule in Ireland," had disappointed the radi- calls because of it's moderation.
 A resolution of adherence to the covenant was arranged by acclama- tion.
