Ambassador to Move.

At noon yesterday the minister of
foreign affairs advised Amba ssa dor
Wilson, in the name Of President Ma
dero, to remove his residence to the sub
urb of Cacabaya beyond the line of
fire. Mr.. Wilson declined to act on
this suggestion, pointing out that
Americans already had been quartered
with the distinct understanding that
the ground occupied by them would be
recognized as neutral zone.
Both revolutionists and federals thus

American quarter. S'~'

SUNDAY CONCERT TO
BE GIVEN REGULARLY
BALANCE OF SPRING

The free Sunday concerts at the Au-
ditorium- Armory have again hit their
regular stride. Interfered with during
the middle Of the winter by occasional
entertainments and exhibitions which
necessitated a change in the Auditorium
arena, they have now been resumed for
several Sundays past with fair regularity,
and will be continued without much in
reference straight through the spring
months.
The concert Sunday afternoon will be-
gin at $3.50, as usual. Because of the
fact that thousands of people attend these
concerts each Sunday, the doors will be
thrown open at 2:30 and all persons who
attend are earnestly requested to be in
their seats before the first number COM
mences.
One Of the principal features on the
program Sunday afternoon will be the
grand march from "Tannhauser" Flo
tow's famous overture to Martha" and
the gavotte from "Mignon," by Ambrose
Thomas, will also be popular.

ton with lis life. He added that Jhe
chances Of his son being alive were so
slim that he expected to get news any
day of his death
He has just three chances out OF
i've to be alive but these are mighty
small odds when it comes TO death, ana
have had no word from him since tn"
recent fierce outbreak ! have made
every effort to communicate with the
American consul. but have not sue
ceeded." said Dr. Brown
The news of the tragic disaster wnich
he believes overlook his son reached Dr.
Brown through a Mexico city newspa
per.
Rebels Raid Mine.
Charles Brown and four otner Amer
leans were in charge Of a copper mine
at Pachuca, $50 miles from Mexico
City. About ten days ago a band OF

Americans were killed. They were the
only Ave Americans at Pachuca. and the

cred that it was one of those intermt-
tent pillages by brigands that the small
towns of Mexico have been suffering

Pronounced Most Important
Discovery Within Arctic
Circle in Century
BODY OF LAND SAID TO
BE BIG AS GREENLAND
News of Discovery Comes as Distinct
Surprise to National Geographic
Society-Known For Years
Russia Was Investigating

Washington, October 12.-Members OF
the National Geographic society said here
today that the reported Russian discovery
of a continent 500 miles north of Asia. If
true. would be the last great discovery
Of land They pronounced it the most
important discovery within the Arctic
circle in the last century.
The report from St. Michaels. Alaska,
that Commander Wilkitzky. in command
of the Russian government steamers
Taimyr and waygatch, had arrived there
and announced the discovery of a body
of land as large as Greenland. extending
beyond latitude 81 north and longitude
102 east, came as a distinct surprise to
members OF the society. 1t was known
had pursued a survey in the Siberian
ocean, but no word had reached them
of a regular expedition into the frozen
north. The expanse north of Canada,
Alaska and Siberia long has been regard
ed as an inviting field for investigation,
however, and the Canadian government
sent viljhalmar Stefansson into the Arctic
last summer on a three year expedition.
Believe Error in Location
Maj-Gen. A. W.. Greedy, Arctic ex-
plorer and scientist, thinks some error
must have been made in describing the
location OF the newly found continent.
though he was not inclined to doubt
that an important discovery had been
made. He said today that on December
is, 1894 the Fran, in which DR.. Nansen
drifted in the Arctic regions, was in
latitude $3.50. longitude 104 just little
north of where the southern extremity
of the land reported discovered Is said.
to be. DR.. Nansen's party saw no land
and SO confident was he that none ex-
listed in the vicinity of his vessel that
he argued since that the unexplored por-1
tion of the Arctic ocean is deep basin
General Greedy suggested it hardly seemed
possible that continent the size of Green
land could exist between the DRIFT Of
the Fram's path and Cape Cheliuskin in
the northermost part OF Asia.
That unexplored land the size Of Green
land exists within the Arctic circle north
of Alaska and eastern Siberia. as dis
tinguished from western Siberia. where
the Russians are said to have discovered
land, has been the theory Of scientists
for years DR.. Roland A. Harris of the
coast and geodetic survey years ago ad-
vanced the theory that a large area Of
undiscovered land was located within the
circle. His contention was based upon

Desires Continuous and I'm
interrupted Discussion of
the Currency Bill
HOPES 1T WILL BE OUT
OF WAY BY DECEMBER
Believes Should Work Be Delayed
Now Currency Bill Would Only
Take Time From Important
Reforms Pending

Washington, October 12.-President Will
son let it be known tonight that he did
not favor a recess of Congress at this
time. but desired continuous and uninter-
rupted Consideration of the pending cur
rency bill. Various reports that the Pres
ident was attempting to force the Senate
to act more speedily than 1t wished, and
efforts by some democratic senators to se-
cure recess until November Is. while the
Senate banking and currency committee
was at work on the House bill brought
from those close tp the President clari-
fication of the White House position
The President. they say. had no Idea
Of attempting to fix an arbitrary time
when the currency bill should or should
not be enacted into law. His wish as ex-
pressed throughout his conferences with
Senate leaders has been for continuous
attention to the currency measure with
the confidence that with concentrated ef-
fort and study the bill would be out of
the Senate before the beginning of the
December session of Congress.
Wants No Haste in Matter
While averse to any haste that would
impair the value Of currency reform. the
President is anxious that II the Senate
can improve upon the House bill 1t will do
So He still believes. however, that all
this can be accomplished during the seven
weeks remaining Of the present session.
Efforts to bring about recess Incl
dentally have shown that a majority OF
the democratic senators were opposed to
the proposition while the outcome Of the
currency bill from the Senate committs
was in doubt, The Senate COMMITTEES "
far has shown disposition to rep/
bill that all OF its members could q 4
