THROUGH LINES OF TROOPS.
Mexican Provisional President Ap.
pears Before Lawmakers and
Reads His Message.

Mexico City, Nov. 21.-His face
showing none Of the whimsical humor
which sometimes characterizes him
President Huerta appeared before the
new Mexican congress and read his
message. H.
1t was nothing more than a terse
explanation of his motives for dis
solving the old congress, most of the
members of which are now in the
penitentiary accused of sedition.
The senate and chamber of depu-
ties met in joint session and congress
was formally declared convened.
President Huerta came to the con-
gress through lines of troops and the
small crowds which gathered were
not demonstrative.
The message General Huerta bor=
to them was in it's essence an 40
monition. The incident he related to
them of the dissolution OF the
previous congress was one by which
it was intimated it might be guide
in their conduct as congressman. s
The reply of the speaker, Eduardo
Tamariz, was brief. Not all the con-
gressmen were present. Twenty
seven of them put in an appearance
and most of these were members of
the Catholic party, to which Tamariz
belongs.
Huerta Receives Applause.
The president was applauded only
upon his arrival and departure, when
the members of congress and the
spectators arose to their feet and
added "vivas'' to the handclapping.
One young deputy, more enthusiastic
than the rest, called for cheer "for
the man who is maintaining the ma
tional dignity. ,..
The only country not represented
was the United States. Nelson
Shaughnessy, the charge d'affaires,
acting under instructions, was absent
from the session.
The charges of Cuba and Brazil
were reminded by Mr. O'Shaughnessy
that their governments had not rec.
ognized that of Huerta and suggested
that they remain away.
A. technical violation of the law
created comment. General Huerta s
staff filed in wearing side arms. 1t
is specifically provided that no arm
ed soldier shall ever appear on the
floor of the house and custom has or
dained that officers appearing in uni
form must do so with empty .scab
bards.
Outside the building, throughout, q
strong force Of soldiers guarded all
the approaches, patrols rode the
streets for several blocks around and
other troops were stationed further

RULING AFFECTS BIG TRACT
interior. Department suspends Issuing
Patents for Swamp Lands 10 the
State Of. Minnesota. |

A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary
OF the interior, in a letter received by
Governor Eberhart notified the execu-
tive that he has suspended the is.
suance of further patents to the state
of Minnesota under the swamp land
grant of 1860. .. =.z u. =: = =. =
This action involves 100000 acres Of
land claimed by the state and is a di
rect result of the protest filed with the
department by w. r. Mckenzie of Be
midi and G. NJ. King of Deer River
officers of the Northern Minnesota De
velopment league, against the issuance
of more patents until the Legislature
adopts some definite reclamation pol
icy.& -:sa u. ..:s.E...s B.:
The protest alleged that the; grant
expressly provided for the use of the
money derived from the sale Of these
lands in draining and otherwise i'm
proving them. This, it was said, The
state has not done and instead has di
verified this money to school sand-ehar
liable institutions, thereby breaking
its contract with the government. Sss&
r This contention is sustained by Mr.
Jones in his letter to Governor Eber
hart. He asks that the state submit
whether it has complied with the
terms Of the swamp land grant and il
not what steps it proposes to take
looking to the performance of the trust
imposed upon it. :s ..s
