of Importance with which the conven-
tion must deal.

was shown the association is in pros
porous condition. but" he added,
there Is urgent necessity just now for
earnest work on our part to obtain
legislation, from the lack of which we
have suffered for years.

ton to the railroad stock-killing bill
now pending in the legislature. He
went over the history OF legislation

that all had proved failures.
"You all know said he. that the
stock-killing bill we obtained at the
hands of the last legislature on Il
compromise proposition to which the
railroads agreed wag rendered inop-

to do their part. Then came the
agreement, in lieu of the law. whereby
settlements for killed cattle were to
be made out of court. and you remen;-
ber how we were checkmated by the
railroads refusal to issue passes to
inspectors, as they had agreed to do.
what we want to do now is to
pull together and obtain the passage
of the bill now pending. Under its
terms the railroads will be required
to fence their rights of way and II
any animal is found to have been
killed on an unfenced portion of the
road it will be prima facie evidence
of negligence on the part of the rail

of proof will be upon them and not
upon u.s."

Ambassador Wilson Makes Statement.
The American Ambassador, Henry
Lane Wilson, made the following
statement regarding the death of Ma
dero and Suarez:
"In the absence of other informa-
tion. / am disposed to accept the gov
ernment's version of the manner in
which the ex-President and ex-vice
President lost their lives. Certainly
the violent deaths of these persons
were without government approval.
and II the deaths were the result of
plot 1t was of restricted character
and unknown to the higher officers of
the government. Mexican public opin-
ion has accepted this view of the af
fair and 1t is not at all excited. The
present government appears to be re-
vealing marked evidence of activity,
firmness and prudence and adhesion
to 1t. as far as l have been able to
ascertain, is general throughout the
Republic, indicating the early re-estab-
lishment of peace. The government,
as constituted, is very friendly to the
United States and is desirous of af-
fording effective protection to all for
eigners.'
