they are being sold. not perhaps so
much because the buyers like them,
but because for reasons OF comfort
they need them. The winter vest. be-
sides Earring with the rest of ones
attire, is also probably too heavy. The
fancy vest, on the contrary. having
been designed for this express purpose,
il just heavy enough.
And on the whole the return OF the
fancy vest is not to be regretted, al
though it comes back at time when
the main reason for its original de-
signing has ceased to exist. The fancy
vest first came into popularity when
the man who dared wear anything but
the plainest Of cut clothes. made Of goods
Of the most conservative colors. was al
most hooted at by his fellows. Hence the
vest was designed to add touch Of
frightening.
No such Frightening is needed now.
Quite the opposite. However. the deal

result that q good many of the waist

eventually be worn with. And so we
have the strange paradox OF a fancy

may or may not be true. I state II only
as one Of the sidelights of the troubles
we have been having here. There Is one
thing that Is sure, and that is that the
treasury was practically empty when
Huerta came in.
A great deal has been published in the
United States about the censorship of
news dispatches and of the Mexican press.
Much Of this is true. and it is safe to say
that our people have but a mild idea of
the situation over the border At the
same time the daily journals of the CAPT
tai are not at all backward in making
criticisms. They denounced Madero and
they are handling Huerta and Diaz with
out gloves. They demanded that Madero
retire, and they compared him to Charles
First, Louis Philippe and other rulers of
the past
situation one Of the Mexican dailies re-
marks as follows:
This government is one which points
out the guilt of many and still is IN

OF late the conditions have been very
bad in southern Mexico and not far from
Mexico City. The Zapatistas have COM
mitted scores of outrages, burning up
haciendas and the cane on great sugar
plantations They have attacked the
trains. and both freight and passengers
are unsafe.
The federal troops now and then guard
the trains. They pursue the rebels and
festively hang the prisoners from
telegraph poles. The passengers coming
in on a recent train reported a fringe of
hanging bodies from such poles on the
edge of the federal district. and said
that a dozen rebels could be seen hang
ing to some trees by the side OF the road.

stops now and then, is still going

killed by their very prevalence. The
few men who may be said to lead the

for something new. something that the

A few months age some OF these rebels
seized a fireman who was trying to pro-
tect his engine. They threw him alive
into the fire-box of the locomotive and
he was burned to death. Another engi-

Central, which runs between Ell Paso and

were so bad there that the Madero gov

The country Is having an lnteiiectua
revolution as we'll as physical one. The
common people are waking up. The poems
have begun TO think for themselves and
even the rich are changing their ideas as
10 the division of property. Labor at last
is claiming its rights. Within the past
few months We have had big strike on
the railways and large part of the de-
bates in the chamber of deputies is as to
the raising Of wages. and the cutting
down of hours of work in the factories.
At the same time the whole republic Is
in state of fear as to where trouble will
break out next. Many localities have no
order whatever, and the brigands and
banditti commit their outrages with little
fear of the result. They dynamite tun-
nels. burn bridges and tear up the tracks
Of the railroads. At this writing nearly
every railway system is more or less out
OF commission.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Further Declines and Some
New Low Records Recorded.

Yesterday the stock market pursued
still further its decline and record
of losses which included practically the

Union Pacific touched a new low not

The weak opening OF the market en-
couraged the bears TO make a aid
which produced sharp declines and
caught stop orders in many Of the
leading issues. Union Pacific broke
through 100 and American Beet Sugar
was very soft, and on sales OF 6O
shares broke 3is points and sank to
new low of 81. American Tobacco aud
Liggett g. Myers were also affected b.
the selling movement, and the former
declined to fresh low point, while the
latter lost II points on sales aggregat-
inc 800 shares. Lorillard scored The
next largest losses on decline OF ~
points. Sentiment was decidedly af-
fected by an uneasiness regarding the
policy to be adopted by the new adj
ministratio at Washington toward
corporations. the holding up of The
