Washington, Feb. 25.-Ambassa-
dor Wilson will be permitted to con-
tinue to exercise his discretion in
dealing with the Mexican govern
ment. Some satisfaction has been
derived over his report that the new
officials are very friendly to the
United States and the government has
shown disposition to meet reason
able demands for the protection of
American interests, which to a large
degree were ignored by the Madero
administration. The officials do not
expect the immediate restoration of
peace.
The dominant party is new one
unless it can be considered as the
reincarnation of the Porfirio Diaz
party.
Already Huerta is offering terms
to the followers of Orozco in the
north with some success. Indications
are that similar negotiations with
Zapata in the south have failed, and
the government has decided to wage
an active military campaign against
him.

VAN HORN STORE
looted Of GOODS
WORTH OVER $500
Whisky, Drugs, .RazOrs, Pens

by Night Marauders.
The Van Horn Drug company was

The Van Horn Drug company was
entered by thieves last night and
robbed of fountain pens, razors,
whiskey, drugs and cash to the
amount of about $500. Entrance
was made by breaking a pane of
glass in the rear door and cutting
away part of the window sash with
a jack-knife, permitting them to
crawl through the aperture. Evil
denoe shows that there were three
robbers.
C. l. Van Horn discovered the
robbery when he opened the store
this morning and found things in
great disorder. The stock in the
cases had been turned over by the
thieves in their search and the bottle
goods had been scattered, although
nothing was damaged in the store.
The search had been very thorough,
and must have taken at least half
an hour.
All of the fountain pens in the
store-about $3.50 worth-were Ia
ken A lot of fine razars, valued at
about $25, were in the list, two pint
bottles of whiskey, several bottles
of cocaine and morphine and some
cash which had been left in the cash
register-about 50. So far, moth
ing else has been missed. The case
has been reported to the authorities,
who are strenu0usly investigating.
From tracks left in the snow the
thieves made their exit over fence
to the east of the rear door of the
store and one stood en- ladder lean
ing against a wall and kept look
out The officers intend tn make
rapid fire search of the city for suspi-
cious characters and will round them
all up for going over.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Senator

representations to the state depart

frontier between Texas and Mexico.
Shepard recently sent kilograms to
county judges along the line of the
Rio Grande from FL Paso to Browns

that they needed more troops in two
stretches of territory-one 900 miles
long between Brownsville and Laredo
and another almost as long between
Del Rio and Ell Paso. 1t was repre-
sented that there had been much
looting along the upper region and
one Texas ranch so miles from the
border had been attacked in the last
few days.

In set of resolutions which
strongly oppose the attitude of GER
tain American statesmen to show
particular marks of favor TO Eng
land, who propose to extend the pro-
visions of the English treaty and
who join Senator Root in the move
to repeal the free tolls portions of the

The resolutions, which are repro
duced below, We're passed at the reg
ular meeting of the club on Febru-
airy %, Washington birthday. The
club is associated in the great ma
tional association. known as the
American Continental alliance.
The resolutions follow:
We, the members of the American
Continental Alliance, assembled to
honor the memory of George Wash
ington, proclaim our unwavering al
legiance to the principles of govern
ment set forth in the Declaration of
Independence and to the Constitution
of the United States;
We affirm our conviction that the
warning against entangling alliances
with the powers of the Old World
conveyed to the American people in
Washington farewell address, has
been fully justified by the progress
made by this republic, largely by
strict adherence to that policy, dur
ing the past century. 1t is more than
ever necessary now, when the con
flicting interests of the great powers
have turned Europe practically into
an armed camp and made the out
break of war on a colossal scale a
strong probability in the near future.
In such war American interests
could only be protected by strict neu-
trality:
We favor the peaceful settlement
of all difficulties that may arise with
foreign governments, but We are I'M
