After the adoption today of rules of
procedure. D. Cady Herrick, chief coun-
sci for the governor. formally challenged
the right OF Senators Frawley. Ramsper-
ger, Sanner and Wagner to sit as men,
hers of the court-the first three on the
ground that they were members of the
Frawley investigating committee on whose
report the articles of impea chment We're
based; Senator Wagner, president pro
tenn of the Senate. on the ground that in
the event of the conviction OF the gov
ernor he would succeed to the profit
and emoluments of the office of lieutenant
governor"
Judge Herrick read long brief in sup
port of his contention to which Judge AL
ton B. Parker, chief counsel for the ran
ayers replied, holding that the court had
ino power under the constitution to exclude
any of its members. This argument Pre-
siding Judge Cullen upheld
"All precedents are against It," he
said.
Judge Cullen, however, put the chal-
lenges to the vote of the court with the
result that excepting the four senators
involved. who asked to be excused from
voting. the 80 members present today

Elder Diaz Healthy

General Diaz said he left his uncle
former President Porfirio Diaz, at Biar-
ritz in surprisingly good health and
Yigor for man entering his S4th year.
The only thing that troubled the ex-
president was increasing deafness. He
said his uncle would return to Mexico
some time after calm had been re-
stored. but as a resident only, decar-
ing that he would not re-enter the
political arena
During his stay in Europe General Felix
Daz has been in poor health. He com
planned that he had never recover ed from
the rigors of his three months imprison-
ment in an underground cell in the old
Spanish prison in Vera Cruz after his
unsuccessful attempt to foment a revou-
tion in October of last year
According to one Of his secretaries. Cen
eral Diaz believes that the coldness
shown him during his trip up the Pacific
coast to Vancouver was due more to sus-
picion of the motives of his mission to
Japan than to any antagonsm by the
people because of the part he took
in the overthrow OF Madero. The secre-
tary added that General Diaz feels that
the United States government may not be
unfrendly toward his ambition to become
President of Mexico. He said General
Diaz had asserted that friendship for the
United states will be one Of the cardinal
points of his policy should he attain the
presidency Of the Mexican republic

that he had seen dispatches from Mexi-

nouncing that he had been summoned

but that this was all he knew about
the matter. Thus far, he said, he had
received no order OF recall and would
remain in Paris until he did so, hold
ing himself in readiness to start at a
moments notice.

His instructions then were to go to

Dental elections took place. He said
his present stay in Paris would not be
a long one.
Asked If President Huerta would sup

General Huerta would take no interest
in the election beyond that of seeing
it properly carried out. He seemed CON

candidacy. for which he declared his
friends in Mexico We're now working
hard He also was optimistic with re-

nv w. G. NICHoLAs

New York, November 29.-(Special)
The flight for life" being made by the
railroads east of the Mississippi. has at
length forced a sensational awakening
not only in the Cities but throughout
the whole country. Down to the date of
the appearance before the interstate COM
merce commission of the chosen represen-
tatives of the great transportation sys-
TENS and the larger number of smaller
properties, the public was apparently un-
moved to hearty sympathy. 1t was up
hill work to arouse general interest.
The Indifference proved to be only sur
face deep, however, and as the campaign
proceeded the entire attitude changed to
one of openly expressed cordiality. The
newspapers throughout the land Joined
hands in favor of the railroads: those of
the east being scarcely more earnest than
of the west. The trend of sentiment was
unquestonably friendly in every quarter.
The growing possibility of a favorable
ruling by the commission aroused think
ing men in every quarter to a conscious
ness that unthinl1lng yet dangerous preju-
dice against the railroads was in process
of being quieted down and a friendly
feeling generated
both sides became a controlling feature

Venice Not a "DeadY Port

The fact that 1t is separated from the
city and almost hidden in the explanation
of the legend that Venice is practically
dead as a port, whereas in reality 1t Is
the second in Importance in Italy as a
point of transshipment. The port consists
OF two piers (east and west). of the quays
which surround the basin, and of ware
houses, etc, at the east, but is inadequate
to the demands made upon 1t. The harbor
of Venice can accommodate a large num-
Der of ships, which may enter the lagoon
by the Lido and Malamoeeo and anchor in
the numerous canals and basins, says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
The commercial port is, however, much
more restricted, and close to the city, and
consists of three paris. the basin of st.
Marks, the Guidecca canal and the mari
time station. The basin of st. Mark s,
which at one time constituted the chief
port of Venice, serves at present prin-
cipally as passage. or at most as anchor
age for smaller ships. The Guidecea canal
receives ships of various kinds. but gen
orally sailing craft, which bring firewood
from Istria, likewise ships with cargoes
of salt for the government storehouses
and with grain for the Stucky mill, or
coal and other merchandise, when the
maritime station is full.

anticipated, and the belief Is held
strongly that the railroads will receive

developed into a pronounced bullish mar
ket factor.
Situation Quieting Down
The financial situation is quieting
down. The calamities that threatened
general ruin have one after another had
their inning, and passed into a state
of passivity. The country has survived
the new tariff law, with only passing in
convenience and moderate financial
losses. So far as can be ascertained, the
international trade has gained rather
than lost profitable standing under the
workings of the new order of things.
Railroads have held their ground fairly
well, running close behind the highest
records of previous performances. The
nervous tremors that disturbed staid
business and brought about a curious
"sPell' of wide prevalence, is discovered
to have little more real substance than
a nightmare. The otherwise sane and
sober men--bankers, merchants and
manufacturers-who fell victims to
strange hallucinations are slowly recov
ering their nerve. The process may be
slow, but recovery is certain.
There will be plenty of money with
which TO gladden. the hearts and fatten
the pocketbooks of the million or more
bond and shareholders who will partici-
pate in the distribution of nearly $780,
100000 in interest and dividends on and
about January 1-only about four weeks
hence. Railroads may have to shave a
fraction from the best; If they should be
fortunate enough to win their plea for a
higher freight rate, the whole country
will join in q glad cry. If the roads do
not win the right to charge higher rates.
they will remain where they are. There
is announcement for the cheerful phi
losopher, even in that. The farmer is
realizing on about the best cash crop
hardly commenced to spend the profits
al the moment, but latest statistics record
the arrival of 100000 immigrants since
the first of January, number nearly
