bellious governor of AguascallienteS,
about the only remaining serious re-
volt against the Huerta regime today

The DiaZ-Huerta adherents that the
implied endorsement of the Huerta
government in the message from Por-
firio Diaz, would go along way to-
ward removing all grave opposition

confidently predict thai Porfrio Diaz
will be president of Mexico The more
conservative, though, think that Gen
eral Felix Diaz will be president and
that his uncle, if he returns will act
only as his nephew's adviser, and re-
fuse all official recognition.
Federal troops now are operating in
all of ghe diaaffected states and it is
said that practically all of them with

CARDINAL FLAIS HIkERS.
Calls Them Noisy Clamorous And
Spectacular"

Baltimore, March I.--"Noisy, clam
ororus and spectacular" were the
terms used yesterday by Cardinal
Gibbons in describing the recent visit
of the hiking suffragists to this city.
He was speaking before the Woman's
Auxiliary of the st. Raphael inst!-
tute.
" wish to say few words of un-
stinted praise in behalf of the noble
and modest women who have devoted
their lives to the sisterhood and the
service and uplift of the poor. They
labor zealously from early until late.
II do not know what the church would
do without the aid of the women who
are willing to sacrifice their time and
money that it might advance.
Here we have true women; women
who know their place. There are
among the women in the auxiliary
many who have homes that are mod
els. devoting their time to bringing up
their children in the fear and love of
God.
"Then look at the other picture in
contrast. On one hand we see good
accomplished in quiet, modest way.
On the other we see the noisy, clam
orous and spectacular way of other
women, and as an example of this |
point to the hikers who were among
YOU few days ago. I beg to thank
YOU ladies for aiding the sisters and
for partaking in the work that they
are so unobstrusively accomplishing"
When seen at his home the Cardinal
added that he had been much annoyed
by the reports spread about the coun
try that in receiving the mixers he
had indorsed their cause
81 am not in favor of suffrage now,
nor was | when | received the hikers,
said the Cardinal. 81 did not say on
any occasion that they reminded me o.
Joan of Arc, nor did compare their
sacrifice with shat of the noble woman
of France.
81; seems that hey have let it be un-
derstood that l urged the national
! Congress to hear their plea. / said
nothing of the kind I did say that if
the national Congress should give
them hearing with a decided accen!
on the if Press reports TO the
West seemed to have left out the

The report became general through
out Washington last night that Pres
ident Taft meant to veto the Depart
ment of Labor bill on the theory that
it would be bad business to turn the
immigration problems of the future
over to organized labor leaders, This
apprehension On the part of the Pres
ident seems to have arisen out of the
fact that Governor Wilson is said to
have decided upon Representative
Wilson, of Pennsylvania, as his first
secretary Of Labor. The Pennsylva-
MIA Congressman is member and
officeholder of labor union.

MAIL
DELAY Due TO
BAD JUDGMENT

That the cause for the delay in the
mail destined for Hawaii which arriv-
ed from San Francisco in the T. X.
X. liner Hongkong Maru at three
o'clock Monday afternoon, more than
eight hours after the Sierra and Ko-
rea had arrived from the coast city,
was probably due to misunderstand-
ing on the part of the railway mail
service officials in San Francisco with
regard to the time when the three
vessels would reach this port, was the
statement made this morning by As
sistant Chief Clerk Alfred H. Hodson,
of the local railway mail service de-
partment.
The T. K. X. steamship company
has fiat-rate contract with the
United States for carrying the mails
from Honolulu to San Francisco or
vice versa" said Mr.. Hodson. This
rate is 1856 for carrying a quantity
OF mail per trip, while the other lines
are paid at the rate of six cents per

The Holt house was situated in a
group of frame structures, including
the poi Factory, workshop. carpenter
and blacksmith shops, the visitors
house and the moving picture building.
The fire was discovered before it had

ed plentifully with water until the
danger from the heat and flying Gin
