a result a resolution was adopted yes
terday providing that the Democratic
members Of the committee should
make "a report" to the caucus on

The action of the committee yesterday
marks progress in the endeavor of the
administration to pass q banking bill at
this session. Since June 26 more than n
month ago. the Democrats Of the House
Committee have been engaged in heated

Great Britain, France, Italy,
Spain, and Belgium United
In Note of Protest to u. S.

The countries whose representatives in
Mexico City united in a note of protest
against the attitude of the United States
toward the Mexican situation became
known here yesterday. They were Great
Britain. France. Italy. Spain. and Bel
GUM. Germany did not care to enter
into the agreement because of its refec-
ton upon the United States government.
II was further learned that Great
Britain and two other European govern
ments have already called the attention
of the United States to the Mexican situ-
alton. Each of these governments po-
litely expressed the desire that the United
States might speedily find some means of
adjusting matters to the satisfaction of
every one interested.
No reply has been made to these repre-
sensations, 1t is understood here, and il
is not believed that any notice OF them
will be taken officially by the Wilson ad-
ministration. 1t Is the intention OF the
administration authorities not to permit
themselves to be forced into position
Objectionable to them, or any particular
course of action. by the pressure from

II is believed that the European gov
ernments will have to go much further

to exert any decisive influence upon

Mexico.

Demonstrations,
COMMISSIONERS MAKE DENIAL

There were denials by three sources Of
information yesterday that there was
anything significant in their alleged
statements, resolutions or vista relating
to the demotion and transferral Of clerks
at the Pension ONCE. There was a state
ment issued from the Pension Once
which said in effect that the demotions
were made for political reasons and that
If the clerks were not aching to protest
they ought to be.
Clerks who were affected by the or
ders Of the Acting Commissioner OF PEN
sions said last night that statements
made about the changes had been unfair
to them. They claimed that they were
satisfied, and that they did not plan to
protest to the Civil Service Commission
One clerk said he was expecting to be
denoted i'm case there was a change of
administration.
Representative Austin of Tennessee
yesterday introduced a resolution, asking
that the Secretary Of the Interior be d.
rected to furnish data showing the rea-
sons for the demotion or transferral of
honorably discharged soldiers or widows
of soldiers. He said last night that the
resolution was similar TO one introduced
by him at the last session. He said he
did not intend to fight the demotions, and
that in SO far as he knew no other Re-
publican in the House of Representatives
would.

END OF THE CHINESE
REBELLION IN SIGHT
Failure of Commercial Classes to
support Movement Cause
Of Weakness.

The rebellion in China is likely to coll
lapse soon, according to advices to the
State Department today. The weakness
OF the revolution is said to lie in the
failure of the commercial classes OF the
South, where the rebels have the great
est strength, to support their movement.

meet outstanding short-term OBLIGATIONS.
The bankers took option on $25.ooo. coo
more of Mexican bonds at 90 for six
months, and q. 900 additional for a
year. II is considered most unlikely,
however, that the bankers will care to
take advantage Of these options unless
the financial situation and the general
condition OF the country and the
government improves very soon, in
deed. Well-informed business men from
Mexico City yesterday made the state
ment that II is now q matter of but a

faces the most acute financial situation
ever confronting any government. unless
some means 10 found to strengthen its
position in the meantime.

Most Critical Situation
Exists IN Mexico CITY,
Returning Americans Say

From other sources, however, II is
learned that a most critical situation ex-
lists in Mexico City, and that unless
something is done soon to rescue the
Huerta government there will be
tremendous explosion in the Mexican
capital
The causes Of this impending crisis,
according to well-informed Americans
recently returned from Mexico City, are
economic and financial. Should the pres
ent condition continue much longer, 1t
is said by these Americans, the Huerta
government will utterly collapse. and
chaos beyond anything hitherto imagined
will result.
The railway situation is pointed to as
an index to the general economic condi-
ton of the country. OF more than 1000
miles of railway in the national system.
less than half Is under operation. From
some lines in the system nothing has
been heard for three or four months and
1t is not known whether there is a bridge
CT rail in place. The revenues OF the
railways have fallen of, and they will
soon be facing Bankruptcy, If not rescued.
Other Activities Suffer.
The agricultural and industrial activi-
ties of Mexico have suffered almost to
the same extent as the railway systems
In some of the States, 1t is said, agri-
culture has been totally abandoned, and
nothing is being produced. Scores Of
shelters, ranches, oil camps. and rubber
growing plantations have simply ceased
operations, because the owners have
found 1t impossible to continue doing
business. Many of the properties have
been abandoned altogether. the owners
having filed invoices of their property
with the nearest American Consuls
Through the shutting down Of all these
plants and business enterprises, thou
sands Of Americans, employed on salary,
have been obliged to return to the United
States. many of them absolutely without
income Of any kind. In the capital. ex-
change Is rising almost daily. and is
now at $40. The condition of a number
Of banks in the capital Is known to be

mated as campaign contributions by prom
inent citizens.
1t will be represented that the money
in question was not accounted for In the
sworn statement of campaign expendi-
lures made by. the Governor after hts
election. Thus an attempt will be made
to establish a charge of technical forgery
through the alleged Justification Of a pub

1t has been learned that a check for
approximately $500. given by Jacob Ii.

& Co, will be produced as physical evil
dence to substantiate the charge. The

Schin's Name Not on List.
Mr.. Schif's name does not appear in
the list made public in Gov. Sulzer's
statement Of campaign expenditures and
contributions. 1t is said to be the pur-
pose Of the committee to have Mr.
Schiff appear as witness and Identify
the documents.
1t is planned to present the evidence
which will be taken by the Frawley
committee to the Legislature when the
special session reconvenes on August Is.
1t will furnish the basis for the impeach-
ment proceedings which have been
threatened by the Tammany representa-
tIVes at Albany ever since Gov Sulzer
opened his fight on Charles F. Murphy

will leave for Albany tomorrow morning
to get his forces together for the attack
on the Governor by which it is openly

Federals Gain In Certain
Portions Of Mexico, Says
State Department Reports

Reports to the State Department yes
terday indicated that the, Federals are
gaining somewhat in certain portions
of Mexico. Carrancista officers at Gu
dad Porfirio Diaz have applied for per-
mission to come into the Texas city of
Eagle Pass. just across the border. They
state that the Federals are pressing
them hard from the rear. They pur-
pose to leave their wounded behind
them. The situation In Chihuahua has
been relieved somewhat by the re-estab-
lishment of railway service between
Juarez, opposite Ell Paso, and Chihuahua,
capital of the State OF that name.
The Mexican Embassy yesterday gave
out the following statement regarding
the progress being made by the Huerta
government toward pacifying the coun-
try:
Statement of Embassy.
"Oficial advices to the Mexican
Embassy show beyond doubt that
the efforts of the government TO re-
store peace are beginning to produce
tangible results. Railroad communi-
cation between Chihuah ua an Juarez
has been restored. as well as the line
to Laredo: repairs to the stretch be-
tween Chihuahua and Zacatecas are
being actively pushed, and IL Is GER
tain that portion OF the line will
soon be opened up. As result of
the recent success OF the columns of
Gems. Mas, Navarete and Teller,
who have steadily driven the Carran-
cistas from the State of Coahuila. the
line between Porfirio Diaz and Mon
terey will also soon be ready for
traffic. Carranza has fled and is en-
deavoring to jSin the rebels operat-
ing in Northern Durango.
ITO cut of this retreat strong Fed
eral columns have been sent. In the
South the Zapatistas are being given
no quarter. They are being routed
from their strong holds. and are go
