MEXICANS WANT
PEACE RESTORED

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.-In the
face of continued reports that Mad
eros resignation had been placed in
the hands of the Mexican congress or
would be handed over by the presi-
dent today, lighting went on from
1890 o'clock last night until near
dawn.
The night attack, planned as a sur
prise, failed TO find General Diaz and
his followers off their guard. The first
volley from Federal guns was replied
TO by spirited cannonading from the
Arsenal.
The great joy that was felt In the
city when the populace heard that
President Madero would surrender
gave way to greater excitement when
the fighting was resumed. The people
Of the capital have become Indifferent
as to who wins just so the battle
stops.
Reports that were more or less de-
finite, stated that while the battle was
on Madero called his closest advisers

Legislature in joint session on Mon

proposition that has been drawn up

and protection of the public, and cited
instances in support of their conten-

the attorneys for the railroads was
that the fulhllment OF the bills pro-

Delaware without serving any end
and it was pointed out that an in

mean the raising Of freight rates.
