American Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson, at the first sign of trouble,
took prompt action to safeguard the
lives of Americans and other for
eigners. AS dean OF the diplomatic
corps he called all the foreign repre-
sensatives into a conference at the
American embassy and demanded
from the Madero government speci-
fic assurance that adequate protec-
ton be extended to all foreigners in
the city, Subsequently, the ambas-
salor made the same demand on
Felix Diaz.
AT Mr.. Wilson's direction, Mont
gomery Schuyler, secretary of the
embassy, made tour Of the city by
automobile. Immediately after the
conflict between the Diaz and Ma
dero forces, he reported bodies of the
dead and dying uncared for on the
broad expanse Of the plaza.

catron Expresses His Views.
The Mexican situation was the sub
iect Of animated discussion among
senators today, particularly those
from. border states. Senator Catron
of New Mexico, in an interview. said:
There is only one thing to do.
That is for this government to go
into Mexico and handle the situation
there as it did in Cuba"
A resolution calling for the safe
guarding of American interests in
Mexico was introduced in the senate
by Senator MARITIME of New Jersey.
1t was identical with that introduced

OYSTER CROP ABUNDANT.
Ten Days of Open Season Show Big
Crop in Virginia.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 25.-Actual
examination of the catching of oys-
tiers in the James river shows, with
the exception Of a very few spots,
that not since the year just suceeEl-
ing the War Between the States has
there been such abundant taking of
oysters in the river.
Two men with tongs and one with
boy caught an even one hundred
seed line. The price Of seed is low,
the market price being only ten cents
"a bushel. Oysters below the seed
line, for marketable purposes, are
bringing from twenty-five to thirty
cents a bushel. Here the same crew
will catch between twenty or thirty
bushels.
The Rappahannock river and Po-
comoke sound are in still better con-
dltion. An oysterman from the Rap
pahannock, who was here today re-
jports, that the average catch to each
pair of tongs is between ten and
fourteen bushels. worth thirty-fve to
forty cents Il buShel, and quite a de-
mand. Two men and Gull boy can
produce thirty bushels a day.
The oyster police are active in
watching the culling. The number
of tongers, however, is not great as
yet, fodder pulling and fruit Gamer
les keeping them busy.

or a double track seven times around
tn world.
The railroads would have the time
of their lives in moving this crop if it
was offered for shipment in a single
day. In cars the apple crop of the
United States would reach a distance
of over S25 miles.
If these statements are correct, and
there is no good reason to doub. that
the estimates are made upon knowl-
edge of the apple crop, the question
naturally arises: why are the prices
Of apples so high?"
With so great a supply it would
seem that apples ought to be reason.
ably cheap. Almost prohibitive prices
are asked for first class apples, and
the least desirable kinds sell at retail
from one dollar up per bushel. There
must be reason for this which, il
understood by the public, an effort
would be made TO remedy it.
The vastness of the apple crop OF
the country and the prices asked for
the fruit are at variance.
Can any one explain the reason
why?
