Policy Justified.

Nadero's resignation, it is felt gem
orally by officials here, iustifies the
correctness of this government S atti-
tude in adopting and following persist
emily hands-off policy in the solu-
tion of the Mexican situation, and it
is also the prevailing opinion that it
will be expedient to continue patrol
in Mexican waters until conditions
have settled considerably. Francisco
de Ia Barra. who was Mexican embas-
sador here in the closing days OF the
old Diaz regime, was known to have
been opposed to intervention by the
United States in Mexican affairs. He
expressed the opinion while here that
Mexico, if ever given a fair opportu-
nifty to solve its problems without out
side powers taking part, would at all

TRIES TO KILL WIFE,
BUT STAYS DAUGHTER
James Purcell, New York
Gambler and Informer,
Becomes Murderer.

NEW YORK, Feb. Thames Pur-
cell, the veteran gambler, who testified
before the aldermanic committee last
week that he had paid police graft over
a period Of seventeen years, quarreled
early today with his wife in their
apartment, and began shooting. Mrs.
Purcell tainted, but wild bullets struck
their thirteen year-old daughter, Agnes,
who lay covering in bed, and killed her
almost instantly. Thinking that he had
murdered both women, Purcell surren-
dered himself to the police.
The gambler was SO hysterical when
he staggered into a police station that
he was unable to give coherent ac-
count Of the affair. He and his wife
had quarreled nearly all night, he said,
until he at last lost control Of himself
and rushed at her with a revolver.

NM news Of Francisco /. Madero S
Wv voluntary REIMBURSEMENT Of
the presidency of Mexico
brought relief to official circles in
Washington, in which the situation in
the last FIVE days hourly had been grow
ing more tense.
The announcement coming at the
close Of day in which the situation
steadily had been turning against Ma
dero, hardly was surprising. 1t served
instantly to clear the horizon Of the
stormclouds which came nearer as the
prospect Of armed interference on the
part of the United States seemed in
evitable.
State department officials, since the
opening of the fight in the plaza be-
fore the Mexican national palace last
Sunday, have waited eagerly night and
day for official and unofficial advices
from the scene Of the conflict and the
government was fully prepared 10 meet
any situation which might arise.

sional supporters of the measure, made
arrangements to take 1t up in the
senate on Monday and in the house
on Tuesday. With Senator Lodge, they
were confident that the bill would be
passed easily in both houses by the
necessary two-thirds, Opponents and
proponents Of the proposed law have
waged vigorous contest in hearings
before the president for the last ten
days. Organized labor warmly sup
ported the bill, while several organiza~
tions, particularly Jewish societies, rec
commended its veto. Foreign nations
protested against the provision for de-
failing immigrant inspectors and ma
irons on vessels flying foreign flags,
but Secretary Nagel held that this was
not controlling objection to the pro-
posed law.
This is the second time that hteracy

wise having refused in 1897 to ap-
prove a bill barring aliens who could
not read and write.

The government has not been

not attempting to whip the government

for six days he and his forces have
done that in an emineutly brilliant
manner, although the methods employed
resulted in a ruthless bombardment of
the capital by two heavy forces of ar

The damage done today was not az
great as on previous days. but this was
due merely to change of tactics, and
Mexicans high in public life, knowing
that continuation of hostilities in the

spared no efforts to bring about set

POLICE ARE READY
 FOR WINTER CROOKS

DAWSON.-Major Noodle states that number of reports of dogs hav-- ing been stolen have been filed with the police this past fall, but that, with police posts and telegraphic commun- ication in all directions now, it is ex- pected to land every dog thief behind the bars who tries to move along the trails in any direction with the stolen animals.
 The establishment of the police post at the mouth of White river and oth- CT police posts at several points fur ther up the White, makes it impos- sible for the dog thieves to head for the Chisana without running into the arms of the members of the force.
 A patrol will be maintained between the posts as soon as the ice hard ems little more, and anyone ven- turing on the road with stolen dogs is practically certainly of going into the skookum house The patrol will be furnished with reports from Daw- son by telegraph to the mouth of the White. The police will travel much faster than the ordinary dog team, and therefore, will be enabled to ov- ertake and pass practically all other travellers on the route.
 The placing of post at the mouth of the White gave the police great tactical advantage in respect to every form of patrol and police duty. Police posts are also maintained at Forty mile and in the southern part of the territory so that the winter mushers in the Canadian Yukon will have good protection this winter It is believed the gold dust from Chisana and oth- CT valuables likely will be brought out this way continuously as against the Scolai route because of the greater protection afforde dby the police sys- tenn of this territory.
