 THEIR TREATY

Washington. b. G.. Feb. li.-- In view of he friendship between Pres idrnl-rIrct Wilson and Sena- tor O'Gnrman. of New York. sig nifirance is being attached to he senator's statement recently when asked whether the incoming ad- ninistratinn would recommend a repeal of he free tolls provision of the Panama act.
 ''It seems to me-" said Senator O'Gorman. that Democrats who favor a repeal of the free tolls provision must wait for the dec laration of another national con- venlion. The last national con- vcntion adopted unanimously a declaration in favor of free tolls. That is Democratic doctrine now and think it will stand for four years.

Deserted by Federal Troops, Ma dero and Family Flee From
 the Mexican Capital.

Mexico City, Feb. ll.--Calling Pres ident Madero an enemy of the republic, Gen. Felix DiaZ pro- claimed himself provisional pres idrnt and assumed the direction of the government with complete control of the capitol in his hands.
 When Gen. Banquet. com- manding the supposedly loyal federal troops refused to fire up- on he rebels, Madcro and his family fled from the city.
 Later Madero has returned to the city and claims he will win as soon as endorsements arrive. It is thought he left the city to telegraph for troops. The popu- lace is wavering between which of the factions they will support. therefore there has been no loot = ing. The outcome of this new phase of the revolution is await ed with interest.

Scott Reaches South Pole, Finds Amundsen's Tent--Caught in
 Blizzard Returning.

London, Feb. II.--The cable from New Zealand brings the news that Captain Scott and a party of four reached the south Pole on January 18th, 1912, a month after AmundScn. They found Amundsen's tent.
 After taking observations they returned and were Overtaken by a blizzard when within eleven miles of 1he first relief station and frozen to death. When they did not return in the specified time others of the party pushed for ward in search of their compan- ions and found the hodics and records.
 The 62 then remaining in the party made their way back to their ship, the Tdrra Nova, and sailed for New Zealand. where they have just arrived. Sixty-two of the original 66 have returned safe and sound together with the bodies of the four who had reach- ed the pole.
 Captain Scott's dash to the pole has definitely made Amundsen's s claim to the discovery of the pole a certainly, and likewise estab- fishes the fact that Captain Scott and his brave men reached the southern axis of the earth. The ntimely fate of the four mem bers of the party has east a gloom over the city.

 Fl wish you were compelled to find me another nice old soldier" she writes, with a home and good pension, for 1 guess I'll have to find another to make me happy.

So did not starve him.
 God gave me a dandy dispo- sitinn, but left the fine looks out never scold, grumble or find fault. and that is true, and I was born that way. If you was a mat rimonia1 agency I'd send my de- scrfption, but you're only com missioner, and a dandy one, too"
 The commissioner expressed the opinion that owing to the fine looks out" feature of the letter, it might be necessary that the contest be limited to blind soldiers.
