Cbristchurch, n. H.. Feb. 14.-Intense
bitterness Of feeling prevails among 4
section Of the surviving members of the
late Captain Robert r. SCOTS Ant
arctic expedition over the failure Of the
rescue party TO push south vigorously
on their march to the relief OF the ex-
plorers who had been to the South Pole.
The belief is expressed that Captain
Scott. DR.. Edward A. Wilson and Lieu
tenant II. r. Bowers, the last three TO
die, could have been saved if this had
been done.
The relations between Commander
Edward r. G. r. Evans and DR.. Ed
ward l.. Atkinson are said to be very
strained.
The members Of the British Antarctic
expedition oppose the suggestion that
the Terra Nova should be chartered
with Sir Ernest II. Shackleton IN COM
mand. for the purpose of bringing back
the bodies OF Captain Scott and his
comrades for burial in st. Paul's Cathe-
dral.
Commander Evans. when questioned
to- day as to the suggestion that the
bodies of Captain Scott and his COM
rades should be recovered, said:
1.-The best people to judge are those
who served under Captain Scott. Had
we been In the same place as the VIC
tins We should have wished our bodies
to remain at rest where we had given
our best efforts In the cause we sc
earnestly believed in"
| Commander Evans will remain in
New Zealand until the arrival Of the
| widow OF Captain Scott.
Some of the survivors state that
Petty Officer Evans became insane ow-
Ing to the privations he had undergone
and was occasionally very violent. he
declined to help pull sledge. and his
condition became so serious that he
had to be carried.

Lord Curzon's Suggestion.

Lord Curzon Of Kedleston. in letter
regarding the various funds started in
connection with the Scott disaster. says
that before the question of providing
a memorial is considered. nearly Sl50.-
go will be needed to meet the out
standing liabilities incurred by the ex-
petition and to relieve the estate Of
Captain Scott. who pledged large por-
ton of his own and Mrs. SCOTS fort
unes to the expenses of the venture.
1t will be necessary also to provide
for the adequate publication OF the
scientific results so laboriously collected
and tabulated by Captain Scott up to
almost the last hour of his life.
Lord Curzon suggests that the me-
mortal should take the form of a hall.
TO be called "The Scott Memorial Hail."
and that it should be dedicated to the
propagation OF the science to which
CAPTAIN Scott and his companions
yielded their lives

Troops Ordered to Mobilize.

President Taft. while affirming his de-
termination not 10 intervene in Mexico
unless driven TO that course as last
resort. has ordered the mobilization Of
troops at Galveston. and the transports
now at Newport News. which can carry
about 5000 men. will sail on Saturday
or AS soon thereafter as practicable for
the Texas port.
This step, il is pointed out, Is merely
In line with the mobilization of troops
on the Mexican border two years ago and
indicates 10 more intention Of interven-
ton by the administration than did that.
II docs indicate, however that the Presi-
dent purposes 10 be In position 10 strike
quickly and hard if the necessity arises.
II is possible that continuation of to-
nights reports that President Madero
has resigned and that Senior de la Barra,
in whom President Taft has great conf
dence, has been chosen provisional Presi-
dent Of Mexico, may lead Mr.. Taft to
cOuntermand his order, although that
contingency is regarded as improbable

General Leonard Wood left Washington
suddenly this afternoon. II was asserted
by War Department officials that he had
gone to Boston on personal business"
but those in touch with the department
believe he wishes 10 observe the opera
ion OF the reorganization scheme. and Is
not far from the scene of actual prepara-
lions for the dispatch of the troops. The
departure of General Wood however. did
not seem to excite much suspicion, even
though he left Washington when a crisis
was impending in the Mexican situation.
The first body to move will be about
five thousand, mostly infantry. The plans
include some cavalry but the difficulty in
that direction is created by the cost of
transporting horses and the expense Of
maintaining the mounts. 1t is also pro-
posed. if necessary, TO make Use Of the
coast artillery companies, employing them
as infantry.
BY Tuesday there will be assembled off
the Mexican coast not fewer than 5000
marines. all on board ship and with their
officers instructed To land none unless

unless they receive orders from Wash

State Department officials arc inclined

that mediation should he undertaken To
settle the Mexican trouble. although they
refuse to make any comments. Admins
tration officials in general have not taken
kindly TO the idea. as II is pointed out
that such course would involve almost
the complete abandonment of the Monroe
Doctrine.
The substitution of a "Pan-American
convention for the Monroe Doctrine has
been for some time agitated by the South
American republics. through their Wash
ington representatives. and has been eX-
tremely annoying to the administration.

Congress Must Approve.

President Taft made IL clear to-day that
he would not take any drastic action
without the approval of Congress, and
that there had been no developments yet
which warranted submitting the question
TO that body. He takes the attitude that
the fact that few Americans have Deen
unfortunate, If not careless. enough TO
get in the line of fire. after repeated
warning by the American embassy,
should not constitute grounds for plung-
ing the United States Into a long and
costly war. which might ultimately bring
about serious international complications.
Several of the Presidents callers to-day
who pressed him for q statement as 10
his policy were referred TO a letter he
wrote to Major General Wood about two
years ago. in which he explained the
mobilization Of troops on the Texas
border in this way:
1T is my duty. as commander in chief
TO place troops in sufficient numbers
where, If Congress shan direct that they
enter Mexico TO save lives and property
an efficient movement may be promptly
made.
My determined purpose is To he in "a
position so that when danger 10 American
lives and property in Mexico threatens.
and the existing government is rendered

Scott and his comrades
From scientific point of view the
expedition has been brilliantly success
full. Discoveries of the most i'm
portant nature have been made. Proof
was obtained that at two different
periods Of time in past ages temperate
conditions of climate prevailed in the
Antarctic and that the Antarctic con-
tinent in those ages formed a connec-
ting link between Australasia and
South America.

scientific observations and collections

party, which lacked a geologist. made
collections with excellent judgment.
Memorial Service at St. PauPs.
The British nation yesterday paid its
last sad respects to the memory OF
Captain Robert f. Scott and his heroic
companions. A great memorial SER
vice held I'm the Cathedral of st. Paul's
was attended by people of every walk
In life, from King George. in the uni
form of an admiral of the feet. down
to the common laborer, who was proud
to feel that the men who had met such
a noble death were his countrymen.
The King, surrounded by brilliantly
uniformed staff, occupied seat beneath
the great dome. while the other parts
of the cathedral were filed by the gen.
eral public to the fullest extent Of the
accommodation.
Only few seats had been reserved
for the royal party. which comprised
representatives Of Queen Mother Alex
andra and of tho Duke and Duchess OF
Connaught. Premier Asquith and all
the Cabinet ministers were present,
with many members of the foreign
diplomatic corps and their attaches
among the latter being Irwin NJ.

States Embassy, and Commander Pow
ers Symington. American naval at
tache.
Thousands Turned Away.
Hours before room. the time set for
the singing OF the first hymn, Rock
OF Ages" the police had regretfully TO
turn away many thousands who could
not even get within view Of the doors
Of the cathedral. The service was a
simple but solemn one. II included the
playing of Handers Deal March, in
which the great cathedral organ was
accompanied by military band. The
service concluded with the hymn,
Jesus. Lover OF My Soul" In the clos
ing collects the names OF the five dead
explorers were included.
The whole service was most impress
sive. Vast crowds remained throughout
outside the cathedral and a great num-
Der of British bluejackets were present
both inside and outside.
Similar memorial services were held
at Portsmouth, Davenport, Chatham
and other naval centres and in many
churches throughout the kingdom.
The Union Jack flew at half mast ev-
erywhere.
King George has sent letter TO Mrs.

he says he knew Captain Scott inti-
mately and that he mourns the loss Of
a friend.

u,asbineton. Feb. 1.-THE news Of
,,u.,eisco /. Madero's possible relinquish-
u,e,t of the Presidency of Mexico brought
.,;of IN official circles in Washington, in
nh;cb the situation during the last five
sovs had been hourly growing more tense.
The announcement that he might offer
his resignation served instantly to clear
,he horizon of the storm clouds which
came nearer as the prospect of armed
interference by the United states seemed
inevitable.
Secretary Knox was early in consulta-
lion with Assistant Secretary Huntington
Wilson and the state Department staff
tonight. Immediately after the announce
ment from Mexico City. and hurried dis
matches were sent to Ambassador Wilson.
II was said no definite instructions would

fcialy reported the abdicaiion of Presi-
dent Madero. In the absence of such a
report department. officials declined to
comment on the sudden and dramatic
turn in Mexican affairs.
President TAFT. when the news reached
Washington. was at dinner at the home
Of Secretary MscVeagh. He was notified
OF the development by White House at
taches. ari soon afterward heard from
the Secretary Of state.
Though the Presidents comment was
not made public it was not regarded as
probable that any of the plans promul-
gated early in the week for protecting

settled considerably.
State Department officials, since the
opening of the fight in the plaza before
the Mexican National Palace last Sun
day. have eagerly waited night and day
for official and unofficial advices from the
scene of the conflict. and the government
was fully prepared to meet, any situation

Coincident with the receipt Of the news
Of Maderos abdication wireless message
