Government Official Admits Many
Acts of 0utlawry Kept
from Public.
LOYALTY Of ARMY IN DOUBT
New Plan for the Suppression of
Rebellion Will Be Worked
Out-Guards to Be
Increased.

Mexico City, July GAS result of an
Cuernavaca three days ago and other at
lacks In the south as well as in the north
it was unanimously decided at a cabinet
meeting to-day to ask the permanent
commission of the Chamber of Deputies
to. enact law suspendlng personal
guarantees in several States Included IN
the districts which the law will affect
are the States Of chihuahua and Sonora
the northern part of the State of Durango
and u part of Coahuila In the north, the
States of Morelos and Guerrero and parts
of Mexico. Pueba and Tlaxcala in the
south. The law will be similar to that
which previously has been in force and
will amount to placing the disturbed
portions of the country under martial
law.
This action has caused much comment
in the capital and it was admitted by a
nigh official of the government tonight
that many acts of outawry have taken
place In the north and on the west coast,
which had surpassed anything made
known to the public through the press.
1t was also admitted that doubt was
entertained as to the loyalty of several
commanding officers of the federal and
State troops.
In view of the turn which the revolution
has taken in the south and north. the de-
partment of war in conjunction with the
President has decided to work out a new
plan of campaign for the suppression of
the rebellion. The army in the districts
In which some of the ruiale forces are be-
ing mustered out will be increased still
more.

TAFT WORKING
ON HIS SPEECH
President Shuts Himself in His
Study and Cancels All
Engagements.

Washington, July 92.-President TAFT
to-day began the preparation of his
speech accepting the presidential nomi-
nation of the Republican party shut up
in his study in the White House, with
all engagements cancelled, the President
surrounded himself with data that Will
be used in what republican leaders ex-
pect Will be his most important contri-
button to the campaign. 1t was said to-
night that his main argument for re-
election to the committee of notification
would be based on the achievements of
his administration and upon the tariff.
Republican leaders believe that the
President will point out the differences
between the republican and democratic
platforms, especially in respect to a pro-
tective tariff. They are hopeful that the
Presidents argument for a protective sys-
tenn will be helpful in the campaign and
there Is little doubt that the speech will
be introduced in Congress later and will
be used a document by the national
committee. The speech will he delivered

WADSWORTH IN THE RACE.
Candidate for Governor of New York
Outlines His Platform.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 23.--James w. Wads-
worth. Jr.. former speaker Of the Assem-
bly,. to-day announced his candidacy for
the gubernatorial nomination on the re-
publican ticket this fall The announce.
ment is contained In statement in which
Mf. Wadsworth outlines the platform
upon which he will appeal to the repub-
lican voters Of the State for support and
which is prefaced by a reference to the
Statewide primary to be held on Septem-
Der II. at which delegates to the State con-
vention will be selected. The voters, he
declares, are entitled before selecting their
delegates to know who are the candidates
for the various nominations and to exam
inc their views.
Mr.. Wadsworth's statement Of views
opens with an arraignment of tho
Democratic party's management of
the states affairs. which ne character
ICES as weak and vacillating," AMI
In marked contrast "to the sincere
and successful efforts during the adj
ministrations Of Governors Hughes and
Higgins"
I'VE have witnessed a Legislature"
he continues. sitting month after
month, ignoring the business of the
State while rival interests bartered
and traded for office. The chief ex-
ecutive and the Senate have INDUCED
In deals and trades In the matter of
appointment ana confirmation of tae
important state officers"
He condemns the abolition of the old
State highway commission as a move on
the part of the democrats TO convert a
great public Improvement into a political
machine and cites as an instance of "po-
litical greed" the legislating out of Office
OF the court of claims.
Mr.. Wadsworth characterizes tine enact
ment OF the compulsory personal regis
tration law as a bold effort Of the demo-
Gratis OF New York city to subtugate the
rural counties" and condemns other demo-
cratic amendments to the election law as
"the imposition OF vast and unnecessary
expense and a multitude OF election off,

After short fight that body by vote
of 81 to 90 authorized in the sundry civil
appropriation bill an expenditure of $780,
600 for another years work Of investlga-
ton by the tariff experts.
Whether the appropriation is finally
made VIII depend upon the strength with
which the House resists the Senate's de-
mands. The House refused to provide for
the tariff board when 1t framed the sun
dry civil bill. and it's conferees are ex-
pcctcd to fight the provision when the
big supply measure is sent into confer
ence between the two houses
The presidential tariff board was made
more subservient to Congress, however,
by an amendment of Senator Bristow.
accepted by the Senate without n vote.
and which requires the board to report
to Congress once each year. An attempt
by Senator Stone to reduce the appro-
priation from $4,000 to 100000 was de-
fcated
The Senate practically completed the
sundry civil bill tonight, but the passage
of the measure was delayed until to-
morrow morning. The most important
changes effected by amendment in addi-
ton to the adoption of the tariff board
appropriation were:
An amendment restricting the employ
ment Of ex-employes of the federal de-
partment of Justice as private counsel for
the government at increased compensa-
ton.
An amendment for 100000 additional
appropriation to the pension office. to aid
the commissioner In handling the 100000
claims arising under the new pension law.
The Senate expects to conclude the ap-
preparation bill and send It back to the
House early tomorrow. The bill carries
approximately sl15,5CO,0OO for the support
OF important government bureaus and
works The Senate added about 100000
to the amount authorized by the House.

POTATOES AND THE TARIFF.
Prospect Of Another Short Crop Leads
to Call for Removal OF Duties.
F'rom the New Bedford Standard,


Fear is expressed that there will be
another short crop of potatoes this year,
with another year OF high prices. One
reason for this is that when spring came
the American crop Of last year was en-
hausted save for the potatoes kept for
seed The seed was almost prohibitive In
price. Farmers who had saved their own
seed planted as many acres as they could,
but farmers who were compelled to buy
hesitated to put so much money In the
crop, thirteen bushels OF potatoes being
required 10 plant an acre OF ground prop
erly and the seed ranging In price from
Sl.50 to $50 IA bushel Consequently the
acreage put into potatoes is much small
er than would have been the case with
cheaper seed, with the consequence OF n
correspon1ingly small production In the
fall. The line of prediction seems rca-
sonable.
Under circumstances like this the tariff
rate or twenty-five cents a bushel must
be Il factor in the price, at least up TO
the point where the market Is glutted
with potatoes. What would be the con-
sequence II tho home yield were sup
plemented by foreign-grown potatoes to
such an extent that more potatoes were
offered for sale than the market would
take Is another matter. Whether such n
condition Is possible ia not clear The
Foreign market absorbs potatoes itself,

should an extremely short crop abroad
be coinctdrnt with a short crop Mt home.
the probability IL that whatever would
be saved BY tho removal of tho duty
xould be taken IN h.. the rate. r fha|

SCIENTIFIC LIFE CREATION.
Obstacles Only Technical mt Present,
Says DIR. Loeb.

Iar1S, July 23.-lne controversy con-
tinues In liveliest fashion among French
savants as to the real Significance of
the experiments of Drs. Loeb and Carrel
at the Rockefeller Institute, which these
two medical scientists are now making
known here in person.
A widespread sensation has been caused
here among the public ~ DIR. Jacques
Loebs declaration that only technical
difficulties hinder the artificial prepara-
ton of living beings, ignorance of the
chemical nature of ferments and cata-
lysers being the chief obstacle. 1t Is
felt that the series of extraordinary dis
coveres recently made in New York
came very near to the mystery of life.
and Drs Loeb and Carrel's orld-wide
regulations give their utterances great
weight here.
THE day when the creation of "a
protoplasm shall be achieved" said the
latter this week, is not far distant In
order to study more infinitely the mys-
FERROUS mechanism of life we have been
busy In our laboratories. celebrating
new processes and using new instru-
ments of research. Thus. after having
succeeded in conserving tissues perma-
nenty in a manifestly living state.
am now about to try to discover the
mechanism of the growth of the cellu-
loid tissue, why these tissues develop,
why they cease growing, and what salts
and other chemical agents influence their
existence.
"As these problems are solved others
will arise, but the day will come, very
probably. when science will force into
the light of day the mystery of life. On
that day we shall be able to create liv-
ing beings"
Gustave le Bon. the well-known scien-
fist and psychologist. who has great IN
fluence on popular opinion here. declares
himself supporter of Dr. Carrots
theories. which, he says have opened
new horizons to science What renders
the problem specially difficult, he thinks.
Is that up to the present only the
chemistry of dead matter has been
studied with any thoroughness. The
chemistry of life has yet to be investi-
gated.
Life flows necessarily" he goes on.
IN the present state Of science it can
only be observed by arresting It for an
instant. But, checked for however short
time, 1t is no longer life, which is
studied and tested. Once we know how
n seed is transformed into a mighty oak
we shall be able to fabricate blades of
grass and even animals
On the other hand, several representa-.
tives of conservative scientific thought
here ranged themselves against these
theories.
Prof Armand Gautier of the Academy
OF Science regards DIR. Loebs speculations
as altogether too daring. That living
matter may eventually be obtained by
chemical means he admits is possible but
that human science Will ever he able to
mold this matter and make from proto-
plasm organic cells, multiplying according
to pre-arranged plan. to take the form
OF living being, Is. he declares, outside

BRADSTREET'S WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
state as to labor in two or three cases
manufacturers are looking for additional
help II they could obtain 1t; another In
stance states labor Is scarce and another
all labor is fully employed. out Of tho ten
leading labor centers In the State only
two report any evidence of quietness. Re
ports from the granite manufacturing CEN
tiers contain the advice that the outlook
for fall business In monumental line Is
improving and that the granite quarries
are having all the business they can at
tend to. In certain sections of the State
building operations are very largely In
evidence. The reports from the lumber
dealers. who are in position to handle
business. state the demand has been rea-
sonably good and prices firm. An i'm
proved condition Is also reported among
tho manufacturers Of boxes and box
shocks. while the bebbin manufacturing
plants note "A considerably larger business
than they had year ago this time. The
general condition Of nearly all lines of
manufacturing business show n healthy
condition. Among the retail merchants
the warm weather Of the month so far
has materially increased the volume Of
trade In seasonable goods and the mer-
chant is making up In part for the earlier
quietness
The summer resorts and hotels report a
good business. although at certain places
the extreme heat is believed to have af-
fected larger automobile tourist bust
ness Dealers In automobiles report the
sales have been larger this year and a
number of agents have been unable TO fill
all of their orders. Rural sections report
the farmer trade has been light. as Is
natural for this season OF the year, as
the work in the fields demands close at
tention. This years hay crop is the larg-
est that has been harvested for some
time. in fact in some instances the farmer
was unable to cut all Of his fields, be-
cause of the rapid ripening Of grass, but
as II Is considerable will .iave to be stack
ed The present returns regarding the
corn crop show that II Is late; the carly
weather conditions retarded development
In some instances 1t Is doing well, while
in others the growth Is below what II
should be for this season of the year The
potato crop Is said to be below the aver
age, while owners Of bees state conditions
favor good crop of honey. Among both
the Wholesale and retail merchants,
money is said to be coming in slowly, and
special efforts are being made to make
