is being searched systematically for

already athletic competitions to bring

Who would take Huerta's place as
provisional president is a matter of
much speculation. His inability to find
a man who would satisfy the people
and display the requisite executive
ability is what may prevent Mexico's
soldier-president from abandoning the
palace. To place Felix Diaz in the
presidency probably would not i'm
prove the situation greatly, and GER
tainly it would not please DiaG, since
his occupancy of the provisional pest
would greatly lessen his chances Of
holding it as an elected incumbent
The selection of Francisco de la Bar
"a would please many of his intimate
| friends, but the Catholic party has its
/ eye on de la Barra as a candidate for
the presidency at some future time
when elections can be held. Once it
was suggested that General Geronimo
/ Trevino take the provisional presiden-
cy. But the general is getting on in
years, and in addition he does not
want the palce.
Whether Huerta would do any bet
ter, however, in the field than his
officers now are doing is regarded as
by no means certain. He probably
has an influence over the army great
er than that of any other general +;
but the army today is g poor thing
compared with that left by Porfrio
Dias, notwithstanding that Diaz's army
was far less efficient than he consider
ed it. IL has been demonstrated that
the army is not a unit OF loyalty
and the introduction into its ranks OF
thousands OF ex-rebels appears not &c

transpired in other parts of the re-
public.
Huerta and Diaz believed in Feb
ruary that they had restored Mexico to
a peaceful condition and they probably
did not dream that the counter revolu-
ton ever would assume the proper
tions it has today. There is no doubt
now, however, that the number Of
rebels is greater than the number OF
the governments troops, and it has be-
come practically a matter Of money
which side will win. May began with
the government still on the defensive,
but making promises of the early in
auguration of a terrible campaign
against the rebels. II was believed in
the capital that by that time the rebels
would have exhausted their supplies
of ammunition and would be unable
! to buy more, or to get it across the
American boundary ike even If they
possessed the necessary means to
purchase it Money is not plentiful
/ in the rebel treasury; but neither is
/ it in that of the national government.
So far as getting guns and ammuni-
] ton across Jl6 llue 10 COuCGIueuy the
rebels appear to be having less diff
| ficulty than did either Madero or Oroz-
CO, and Mexicans in the capital are
open in their denunciation Of the
| Washington government for not main
tanning a stricter patrol.
Were it not for the fact that the
Mexican soldier generally provides his
own rations, he would today be the
highest paid fighting man in the world.
Madero raised his wages to a peso,
so cents gold, q day, and Huerta has
further increased it to a peso and a
half, or Is cents gold. The mainte-
nance of the army in the past three
years have been Mexico's greatest
item of expense, but Notwithstanding
that the government is hard up and
has had difficulty in securing the loan
for which it has been striving. Huerta
considered the increase a necessity.
With this lure he hoped to gain re

and quickly submitted to arrest.
A curious society, the members of
which stole for the pleasure and ex-
element in theft as a sport, has been
discovered in the FoIie- Mericourt quar-
ter of Paris.
Three members of the organization
are now in custody. One, a stone-cut-
ter named Albert BacheS, spent all his
spare time in the planning and execu-
ton of difficult and daring thefts. His
only reward was the admiration and
praise of his colleagues. The results
of his endeavor were exhibited as
proof of his success. and were then
donated TO the society and stored in
its rooms. Bachez scorned easy work,
but any difficult task suggested by the
society at once aroused his remark
able faculties, and was carried out
with amazing cunning.
But, as was TO be expected, Bachez
one day made a miscalculation. He
was caught stealing some valuable

VICTORY FOR FISHERMEN.


|. Seattle, Wash. March 6.-During
the early part Of last year the Fish
ernen's Union demanded Of the own
ers of fishing vessels an Increase in
wages. The vessel. owners refused and
employed strikebreakers and started
for the Fishing banks. One of the large
fishing sfracks recently returned and
the average earnings for the fisher
men were IS cents for the trip. These
strike-breakers were sick of the job
and refused to again ship. It. IS also
stated that the strikebreakers were
wholly unable to control themselves
ON the high seas, and made an -abso-
lutte failure of fishing. As a result OF
this experiment the fishing vessel
owners decided it would be far cheap
+er to pay the difference asked by the
members of the Fishermen's Union
than to risk another business failure,
and also the ives Of another green
crew. Therefofe q number Of fishing
companies have granted the increase
and entered into an agreement cover
ing the period Of one year, and provid-
ing Tor arbitration. ii the future.
