This, in effect, is the substance OF one
Of the most remarkable reports ever
presented by an American ambassador,
which was dictated by Henry Lane
Wilson, the ambassador t. Mexico, and
which is In the hands of the President
of the United States. The ambassador
was from 10 o'clock Saturday until
o'clock Saturday afternoon preparing
this report, which he dictated to
corps of stenographers. From then on
until nearly G o'clock he discussed the
entire situation with Secretary of
State Bryan.
Bankers Face Ruin.
He told Bryan plainly that during
the last sixty days French investors,
who control the stocks Of the two

exchange in the City of Mexico being
at the prohibitive figure of 240.
Just how far the ambassador went
with the suggestion that this country
recognize the Huerta government
could not be learned. 1t is known that
in his report it is stated that there is
only one real, bona fide revolution in
Mexico, and that this is the one In

Wilson declares that outward tndica-
tions are that the Huerta faction Is
solid one, with no dissension in the
ranks; but he adds the significant
statement that for nine months the
government has had deficit-increas-
ing with each periodic face.
The conference between the secre-
tary OF state and the ambassador was
earnest and most harmonious. At the
close each spoke in the highest terms
of the other.
One of Wilson's first acts was to as
sure his chief that a statement attrib-
uted to him to the effect that his stay
in this city was costing Secretary
Bryan $500 a day in lecture receipts"
was a lie, manufactured out of whole
cloth.
The ambassador explained to the
secretary that many of the reports OF
insurgent success in Mexico were in
vented by the revolutionary junta In
this city. He explained the revolu-
tionary operations and dealt at length
with this phase of the matter In his
report to the President. This report
will be gone over with President Will
son when the President will have to
take up for solution the following prob

STOP KILLING BIRDS.

Some of tho young gentlemen OF
this place will be asked to explain to
circuit court why they are so promis-
cuous in their shooting at the birds
that is, unless they decide to discon-
tinue the business Some of the older
people of the town who appreciate
the fact that if the birds were all
slaughtered tis country would soon be
fairly turned over TO insect pests, are
tired of tue business and are about
ready to appeal to the courts to make
these youths cease their ubiquitous
shooting. There is absolutely no ex-
cuse for this practice. No bird, not
even an English sparrow, does harm
that outbalances the good that il does,
and to claim that birds ought to be
killed for the damage they are alleged
to do is very foolish. The American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals prints in its publications
article after article condemning bird
slaughter, and, no doubt, the Society
could be prevailed on to prosecute q
few cases in this place, so stop shoot
ing the birds and avoid trouble.
