Austin, Texas, Feb. 19.-Just as
Speaker Terrell had about completed
his plans for the reconvening of the
House next Monday word was received
that another member Of the Legisla-

and the plans, according to announce
ment made by the Speaker, were aban-

George Herder of Colorado County,
who is in a critical condition at his

fourth member of the House who has
fallen a victim to the disease, to two
of whom it proved fatal. The Senate.
on the other hand, is expected to get
quorum today or tomorrow, Lieuten-

The reading and discussing of the

length OF the draft was criticised,
some members believing that all mat
ters of detail should be left to ordi-
nance; others believing that specific
powers of commission should be grant
ed by charter that the people by their

powers. AS general proposition, the
draft is satisfactory to the committee
as read.
The committee adjourned to meet

Mexico City, Feb. 19.-President
Madero has been arrested in the Ma
tional Palace by General Banquet,
backed by his troops.
Gustavo Madero, brother Of the
President, was arrested about the
same time in a restaurant by General
Huerta.
Gen. Victoria Huerta, the military
commander of the Federal troops, has
been proclaimed provisional President.
This followed conference by repre-
sentatives OF General Huerta and
Diaz.
While Madero and the other men,
bers of his family are under arrest in
the palace the crowds are running
about the streets crying viva" for
Huerta and Diaz.
President Madero earlier had made
an offer to Felix Diaz to bring about
the resignation OF Vice President Pine
Suarez and the entire Cabinet, but that
he himself shall remain in office. The
President was in very low spirits ow-
ing to the reverses met with by the
Federal troops.
An official order was issued by the
new Government opening the cables
for regular service. The censor, how
ever, refused to leave his post for
considerable time after the Madero
Government had been ousted.
