NEW GOVERNMENT ORGANIZED
Mexican Cabinet Ministers Take the
Oath OF office-Gen. Diaz
Was Present.

City of Mexico.-The last details
Of the organization of Mexico's new
government were completed at four
o'clock in the afternoon, when the
members of President Huerta's official
family took the oath.
Unable to witness the scenes from
their room, Madero and Suarez were
yet able to hear the plaudits Of the
crowd in the streets and in the big
square in front, and the bugle calls
of the united army. Significant OF
the birth in battle Of the new admin
istration was the frank display Of sol
diers, and the effect on the crowds
was not lost.
1t served as a reminder that il 1t
was not a military dictatorship that
had been established, the present ad-
ministration was of much sterner
quality than that which had just
fallen.
Gen. Felix Diaz was among those
in the room when the ministers took
the oath and heard Huerta pronounce
the formal time honored phrase: "If
you keep this oath, the country will
reward you; II you do not, 1t will call
you to an accounting"

MORE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM.
CHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

II is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example Of the other big concerns,
as Il is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for second-class and steer
age passengers only.
I'VE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
tensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Canal, undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being d.
verted from the United States to the
Dominion.
1.-THE farm land of the vast North
West Is the attraction, and while this
food of immigration is at its height,
the Canadian Government exercises q
strict censorship over the class Of i'm
migrants admitted. In this way they
are drawing their future citizens from
the Northern countries and have
shown an unwelcome face to the peo-
pie of Southern Europe."-Advertise

FINAL PLEA BY THE STANDARD
The Missouri Supreme Court Hears
Reasons Why Custer Should
Be Modified.

Jefferson City.-The Standard Oil
company, throcgh its attorneys, AL
fred D. Eddy of Chicago and Frank
Hagerman of Kansas City. made a
final plea to the supreme court for a
legal existence in this state. A brief
set forth reasons why the writ Of
custer previously issued by the court
should be suspended.
The brief was taken under advise
ment by the court, and 1t is probable
that 1t will be passed upon within the
next few days. The writ of custer
becomes operative Saturday of the
present week, unless stayed by the
court.

THE OOWAGER OF CHINA is DEAD
End Comes to Former Woman Ruler
Of Flowery Kingdom After a
Short illness.

Pekn.-Ye Ho Ma La, Empress
Dowager of China, is dead. She was
the widow of Emperor Kwangsu, who
died November 13, 1908. The empress
had been i'll only a few days. The
actual cause of her death is unknown,
but 1t is said the symptoms of her
ailment resembled appendicitis. She
was attended only by a Chinese doc
tor.
The former imperial family was
about to remove to the inner part OF
the Forbidden City in order to make
room for the government in the east
ern part.

queen Victoria Detested Tobacco.

The number OF Smoking rooms now
distributed over Windsor castle
would considerably astonish Queen
Victoria, could she but see them. Her
late majesty could never bring herself
to do more than tolerate the weed in
any form, and the smoking room was
always relegated to a very distant
part Of her various residences. Nor
were the guests permitted to solaco
themselves with a quiet smoke In
their own apartments, as on their ar
rival they were specially warned not
to do 80.

When the Sun VIII Die.

1t may be said unqualifiedly that
the sun, like every other thing con-
nected with the present order, will
finally cease to be what 1t is today.
The time will most surely come when
the sun will have ceased to throw Off
light and heat. Long before that hap
pens. however, the earth and other
planets will have become dead
worlds" like the moon-no life of any
sort upon them. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the sun will cease to throw
out its heat somewhere about seven
million years from now.

MAOERO AND SUAREz KILLED
DEPoSED MEXICAN OFFICIALS
SHOT WHILE UNDER GUARD.
President Huerta Says There Was An
Attempt to Escape-An In
quiry Ordered.

City of Mexico.-Francisco I. Ma
dero and Jose Pine Suarez were
killed in midnight ride under guard
from the national palace to the peni-
Tertiary.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of the deposed president and
vice-president Of the republic are
known only as given in official &C
counts, which do not conform in all
1etails. The only witnesses were those
actually concerned.
The provisional president, Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta, says the shooting of
the two was incidental to a fight be.
tween their guard and a party at
tempting to liberate them. The min
lister of foreign relations, Francisco
de la Barra, adds that the prisoners
attempted to escape.
1t is given out that two others
were killed and two wounded, but no
names nor particulars are given.
Neither Huerta nor De la Barra
makes a definite statement as to
which side fired the fatal shots. It
is not impossible that neither knows.
An official investigation has been
ordered to determine the responsible
ity, and solemn promises have been
made that the guilty will be punished.
Fired Upon the Escort.
The tragedy occurred shortly after
m idOiObf Gtta ~
had been prisoners in the national
palace since their arrest last Tues
day, were placed in a motor car,
which was accompanied by another
car, and escorted by one hundred
rurales under the orders of Com
mandant Francisco Cardenas and Col.
Rafael Pimento.
With instructions not to outdistance
the escort, the cars moved slowly. No
incident occurred until they had reach
ed point near the penitentiary,
where in an open place the guards
attention was attracted, according 10
the official version, to a group OF per
sons following. Shots were fired at
the escort in the darkness.
The Attack.
The rurales closed in and ordered
the prisoners out of the car.
Thirty of the guards surrounded the
prisoners, while the remainder dis.
posed themselves to resist an attack.
About fifty men, some afoot and
some mounted, threw themselves upon
the detachment guarding the cars and
the exchange of shots lasted twenty
minutes, when the attacking party
fed. Then the bodies of Madero and
SueraZ were found.
Madero Shot In the Back.
The body of Madero shows only one
wound. A bullet entered the back of
the head and emerged at the fore
head.
The body OF suarez shows many
wounds. the bullets entering from the
front.
