BIG LOT OF WATERMELONS.
Cargo of 1000 Is Mt the District
Fish Wharf.

There are 1000 watermelons. just ar
rived from Rappahannock. Va, at the
District fish wharf. This is the first
cargo of home melons to come to Wash
ington. The melons are of two brands,
the Tom Watson and the Florida
Favorite.' They range in price from
IS TO so a hundred.
By the payment of a '1-cent wharf
tax for each melon. those who wish to
buy the fruit singly or in lots under
twenty-five, may do so. This has been
made possible by a modification of an
order issued by the old board by the
new Commissioners. The present Com
missioners modified the order in the in
terests of those who can only afford
the purchase of melons at the wharf
side.

interest in Washington 10 TO learn the
views of Huerta and others In Mexico
as to the sending Of Mr.. Lind by Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t IL most generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Lind will not be sub
jected to such rough treatment as 10
admittedly possible.
Secretary Bryan said yesterday that
Mr.. Lind probably would take q pas
senger steamer from New Orleans on
Thursday or Friday OF this week. The
point has not yet been settled. The
Navy Department has offered to place
the battleship New Hampshire at his
disposal for the trip TO Vera Cruz The
New Hampshire is now at Galveston.
1t was intimated yesterday that II
Mr. Lind gets a fair start on his pro-
ject, he may visit other parts OF Mex
leo than the capital. Such a procedure
will be necessary, 1t is believed. II the
leaders of the numerous reDel move
ments are to be brought into an agree
ment with the government. 1t 10 ex-
pec;ed rather that the practical OBJ
stacles in the way of carrying out the
Presidents program will oner vastly
more serious difficulties than the atti-
tude of Huerta.
Courtesies to Diplomats.
A rather unusual procedure was an
nounced at the State Department yester-
day. It was made public that the usual
customs courtesies accorded TO 1oreign
diplomats entering the United states Will
be extended to a party of Mexican diplo-
matte officers of the Huerta government
now en- route TO New York. Those on1-
Gals are Francisco de la Barra. Minister
to France: Mr.. Poreyra. Minister to Bel
GUM, and Mr.. Palacio, second secretary
of the embassy at Paris. They are 10
stop at New York before sailing Tor Ell
rope. This stop is considered as praea-
calIy equivalent to a certain recognition
of the Huerta government, as all these
men are officials of that government.
Not SO much consideration has been
shown for the charge d'affaires OF the
Mexican Embassy in Washington. II was
concluded that not only Is the admins
tration endeavoring to show spirit OF
friendliness to Mexico. but II Is also de-
sirous OF conveying the impression that
its antasonisn to the present regime
centers upon the man Huerta, and not
upon his government.
Only meager advices were received AT
the State Department from Mexico. II
was reported from Neuvo Laredo that the
release of two Americans-Sanchez and
Winters-may be expected soon. They
were arrested by the Federal authorities
on charges OF having communication with
the rebels.

THE banking and currency question

be treated in this inconsiderate and
hasty way. 1t calls for the greatest
care, for the most searching discus
sion. The question in its present form
is entirely new, and the American peo-
pie are entitled to an opportunity to
become acquainted with It before Con-
gress passes upon it.

is that legislation Of this sort IL necss-

WATCH CHARM EDITION
OF 4 BLACK BEAR.

The children in the family of Rev.
J. l.. Green have one of the cutest
pets in town in the shape of real
live Teddy bear that weighs but two
pounds and II ounces. The little
fellow is one of three cubs that were
taken from a den near Butte Falls
recently by wood-chopper, Mr..
Green purchasing one of the tiny
bruins for his children. The dogs
belonging to the wood-chopper
awoke the old bear from it's slumbers
beneath a fallen tree, and it was
dispatched with a blow of the axe.
Later the three little cubs, but a few
hours old, were found in the nest,
and they were carried home in a hat.
then being no larger than rats. The
one in the Green household, now
supposed to be about II days old, is
thriving, and is eager for pull at
the bottle whenever it is presented
to him, though being somewhat of a
savage he takes nothing but milk
from the bottle.

CAUSES GRIEF AND EXCITEMENT
IN NORTHERN MEXICO.
SUAREZ IS ALSO KILLED
Claim That Guards Deliberately Slew
the Two Men and Two
Others.

Ell PASO, Feb. 24.-The killing of
Madero and Suarez has created grief
and excitement in northern Mexico
and many friends of the former Mex
lean president, who claim that Ma
dero's death was decided on the day
he was made prisoner, The Nader
istas on the border were against
Huerta for deserting Madero during
the Mexican City battle and they are
viciously bitter now over what they
call the deliberate killing" of the
former president. Maderistas say
no attempt was made to rescue Ma
dero and Suarez from their guards in
Mexico City, but that the guards de-
liberately slew the two men and also
killed two innocent bystanders, al
leging the latter were part of the
mob which attempted to rescue the
fallen rulers.
Yaqui indians in Sonora have
gone on the warpath to avenge the
killing of Madero More than 5000
Yaquis are under arms in the state
of Sonora and have offered their ser
vices to Governor Maytorena to be a
part of the army he is raising. Re-
ports from the northern states of
Mexico today indicate intense excite
ment over the killing of Madero and
Suarez, but fail to show any open
demonstration against Huerta.
From Sonora came the unofficial
report that the state congress was to
convene today to determine whether
the state should be declared in open
rebellion against the Huerta govern
ment Governor Maytorena tele-
graphed from Hermosillo, the capi-
tai. to all projects throughout the
state, to take prompt measures to
suppress any demonstrations against
Huerta as a result of the tragedy.

DIR. REDDl IS RECEIVER
OF OLD CHANNEL NINE.

Upon the application of lien claim
ants, Judge Calkins has appointed
DR.. j. f. Reddy as receiver for the
Old Channel Mining Co., corpora
tion holding one of the most noted
of the placer mines of the Galice dis
trict. Numerous labor and material
claims had been filed against the
company during the past winter.
The court has also recently ap-
proved the claim of J. II. Harvey of
this city to 10-S5ths interest in the
Old Channel Mining Co., he having
brought action against Thos. w.
Browning, Geo. Sanders, ct al, to es-
tablish his right in the matter, and
the affirmation of his contention fol-
lowed. Mr. Harvey was already own
'er of one-sixth Of the stock in the
company.
These orders of the circuit court
put the affairs of the Old Channel in
a fair way to settlement, and the ad-
iudication of the claims against the
company should follow with the least
possible delay. DR.. Reddy is we'll
known as a thorough-going business
man, and under his direction the Old
Channel will undoubtedly see the end
of its difficulties.

Saturday to receive surgical treat
ment for a crushed finger of the right

which struck him on the hand.

GRANTS PASS EGGS
FOR PORTLAND MARKET.

One hundred cases per day is the
limit which the Portland retailers
placed upon the shipments OF guar
anteed fresh eggs from the Grants
Pass association is the report which
j. Il. Hair, who recently made a trip
OF inspection to the north, made to
the local poultry association at its
meeting In the Commercial club
rooms Saturday afternoon. The
price for these eggs Is to be three
cents above the going market price,
with an advancing premium as the
strictly fresh Grants Pass" grade
becomes established.
The same dealers will also take all
the broilers and roosters that the To-
cal association can supply at the
market price, thus assuring the as
sociation members OF a ready sale
for the surplus.
AT present the association can
supply but a very small portion OF
the 100-case limit. and effort will be
made to increase the hocks and to
get other poultrymen into the asso-
citation TO make up the shipments.
That the attractlyeness OF the dis
trict is appealing to the poultrymen
is seen in the recent coming here OF
Salem man, he having concluded
that he can produce the eggs here
and ship TO Portland with more pro-
4 ht than he could from Salem, the diff
ference in express rates being more
] than Offset by the better conditions
here.

attention to the district through its
peculiar eruptions, continues to ex-

that the indications are excellent for

that the formation is favorable for
