The suspension Of both houses
of the Mexican congress by Pres
tdent Huerta was ordered after 11O
members Of the chamber Of depu-
ties had been arrested and lodged
In the penitentiary for signing res
olutions Of warning to General
Huerta, because Of the disappear
ance Of tho senator for Chipas, DR..
Belisaro Dominguez.
A proclamation was issued just
before midnight, calling for new
election Of senators and deputies
Oct. 26, which date is coinctdent
with the presidential election.
The dissolution Of the national
congress was based on the alleged
usurpation by the deputies and
senators of the prerosatives Of the
chief executive In tho matter Of
Senator DominGuez.
Provisional President Huerta de-
clared that the chamber Of depu-
ties had constituted itself one of
the executives worst enemies, hos
tile to all his acts and invading his
Jurisdiction even to . point Of
questioning his selection Of minis
ter oSState.
By - demaEoEio acts, General
Huerta said. 1t had attacked the
base Of the existence Of the nation
and taken on itself all branches of
the government. He declared his
patience with the body had been
taxed to the limit The president
referred to the recent refusal Of the
chamber to grant leave to Deputy
Edwardo Tamiez to occupy tho
public instruction portfolio on the
ground Of his affiliat1on with the
Catholic party. He also referred to
the recent Investigation instigated
by the deputies Of certain acts OF
Jose Limantour. when he was min
lister Of finance under General
Porfrio Diaz.
General Huerta charged that the
investigation which the deputies
proposed to make, was solely With
in the province Of judicial power.
He called on them to withdraw the
resolution warning himSof their In
tention to dissolve the parliament
and all sessions elsewhere.

from the milk of these cows. He
did not at the time recall positively
the year in which he put up this
silo. He thought, however, that 1t
was in rs. At any rate the year
was dry. His corn was in the milk
when hot winds blasted the crop and
1t was rapidly drying up. He at
once set to work with team and
scrapers and dug a hole in a bank
on his farm. Into this pit he placed
his entire corn crop. The pit was
sealed by dragging portion Of the
dirt taken out back on to the silage.
He was much pleased with the re-
suit. A few years later Mr.. Cobb
moved to Monmouth, H., and on
his farm there constructed q sllo
