v. s. embassy in Mexico City (top
'sft), General Huerta, and building
used as fort by Mexican rebels.

Mexico City, Feb. 15.-The PROPOSE
tion is under consideration by Maderc
and his ministers to declare a truce OF
from IL to "a hours. The matter has
been referred to General Huerta,
In the interim foreigners viii be re-
moved from the danger zone
1t is also proposed to define a zone
about the American embassy which
will be respected. General Diaz has
agreed, provided the federals accept
his proposal.
During the Day
While theAfederal guns pounded the
Diaz Notifications in the arsenal and
the rebels sent back shell tol shell,
the senate sat today and discussed
the ousting of Madero from the presi-
dency.
Confident Of ultimately defeating
Diaz Madero defied the senate and
ignored the counsel of Francisco dc Ia
Rarra and other friends. He refused
to resign, but did not take the trouble
to make known his decision person
ally to the senate.
The fighting in the streets of the
Mexican capital at times today was
as savage as on any other day of the
weeks battle.
The American embassy again came
directly within the line of fire and the
American ambassador, Henry Lane
Wilson, had narrow escape from a
rifle bullet which whistled close to
his head within the embassy. Shortly
before O'Clock the German legation
was struck by a shell.
Americans Killed.
There were numerous casualties
among non -combatants. A strange
fatality seems to have followed r. M.
Meredith of Troy, Ohio. He was
slightly wounded two days ago while
passing through the streets. Today a
smell crashed into Porter's hotel and
killed him. Sidney Sutherland, cor
respondent of a Salt Lake City news
paper, but a resident of Mexico City
was killed by the same shell.
The situation in Mexico City, apart
from its terrifying aspect, is a re-
roarkable one. Friends of President
Madero fully expected his resigna
tion; but as the day wore along he
became fixed in his determination tc
retain the rens of power. To the
Spanish minister, Senor Cologan i:

More than a quorum of senators
was present at the meeting which
took place in the chamber of deputies
instead of in the senate chamber at
the national palace. The discussion
lasted a long time and a great crowd
surrounded the building.

The news of the scnate's intentions

rich and aged Mexican of tho old
regime. who stood on street corner
and told the people what had been

TRUCKEE CANAL DAMAGED.
With Silt and Gravel, Necessitat-
ing Power Station Shutdown.

AS recapitulation of the week s
news this paper is not what it other
wise would have been, for it was SER
iously handicapped Monday and yes
terday by the absence of the city's
electricity. On these days the Stan
dard's linotype is busted with the
task of getting up matter for the
Wednesday issue and the tasks in
cumbent were seriously handicapped.
However, other of the towns busi-
nesses dependent upon the govern
ment system for motive power suf-
fered to far greater extent than did
this office, notably the Fallon Slaugh-
tering & Supply Co, which was COM
PEELED to resort to extreme straits in
order to keep it's fine butcher shop
and packing plant at the usual tenn
perature and subvert heavy meat
losses.
The shutdown was occasioned by
heavy cloudburst at a point west of
Fernley, where the canal was filled
with silt and gravel from the hills
above. Luckily the excellent con-
struction installed in 1905 sufficed
TO withstand the heavy strain i'm
posed by the unusual flood of water
