Population In Near East

FROM the CnrlStian Herald.
As we traverse this busy street, either
on foot or in the electric cars, we see a
motley variety of people, for Salonica
now, as in ancient times, is famous for
Its cosmopolitan population. This is one
of the meeting places of the east and
weat. Here the Occdent and the Orient
jostle each other in the same narrow
highway. In Paul's time the Jews We're
numerous, and so they are today. mere
was no synagogue in Phlippi in Am
phipolis or Apolonia, but evidently there
was a large synagogue in Salonica, and
here the apostle first proclaimed his uni
yersal message. Today 1t seems as If
every other person one meets on the
street is Jew. The Jewish women are
distinguished from the Turkish ladies by
theh unveiled faces, and from the Greeks
by the fillet around their heads and the
green silk headdress hanging down behind.
Often, too, they wear long green robes
lined with fur.
But besides the Jews and Turks and
Greeks there are Bulgarians and Armen-
iaps, English and Germans, Wailachlans
and Albanians, French and Italians, and
occasionally, very occasionally, an Amer
lean But the quality of the Americans
makes up for any lack of numbers, since
most of those who make Salonica their
home. are engaged In mission work, and
have for their chief purpose the proelama-
ton of the same gospel that Paul
preached.

ALBERTO MADERO REFUGEE
IN AMERICAN CONSULATE

this way it is expected to cause Gomez
TO Withdraw his presidential claims.
Gomez is with the rebel army below the
New Mexico border He appointed his
provisional cabinet some time before
Huerta was named president at Mexico
City.
Manuel Cara Aldape, appointed minis
ter OF agriculture In Huerta's cabinet,
has agreed to refuse the position on the
understanding that Gomez will be ap-
pointed in his stead. David De La
Fuente, it is reported, will take the posi-
uon in the Huerta cabinet offered him,
In this way it is expected to put into
immediate effect the rebel demands for
distribution of public lands. AS minister
OF agriculture Gomez would be empowered
to settle the agraran problem to the
satisfaction of the rebels, 1t is asserted,
by rebel agents here. This arrangement
is given as the reason for the failure of
Aldape and De La Fuente to accept the
positions offered by Huerta, fearing to
arouse complications with the followers
of Gomez, who had been offered nothing
by the party in power at Mexico City.
Aldape now at San Antonio, Tex, Will
leave soon for the national capitol to
lay the plan for pacification of the north
ern rebels before General Huerta and his
advisers. De La Fuente and Gomez are
both under bond on federal indictments
issued in Texas.

GOMEZ CONDMENS KILLING
OF MADERO AND SUAREZ

SAN Antonio, Tex. February 24.-Emilio
Yasquez Gomez today wired from his
capital at Palomas, Mex. to friends in
this city, expressing his sorrow over the
killing OF Francisco /. Madero and Jose
Pine suarez, and condemning such an
act as being outside the pale of enlight-
ened government. senor Gomez has been
represented as having accepted the Hu-
erta regime. but the tenor of his tele-
gram raises doubts as to that.
The telegram is addressed to Melchor
comaeho, who was one of Gomez $
closest advisers in San Antonio. and IS
as follows:
Kindly express to the press my deep
est regret for the death of senor Fran
cisco l. Madero and the terrible man
ner in which he met his death.

Congress Uproarious

Hermosillo Sonora, Mex, February "a
The opening session of the special meet
ing of the Sonora state congress today
was uproarious.
Epithets and charges were shouted
across the chamber. Deputies almost
came to blows, but no definite commit
ment was made either way on the ques-
ton of whether Sonora should declare
loyalty to or open rebellion against the
provisional government of Huerta,
Diaz adherents, declaring themselves
Pcrf1rioistas, charged that Governor
Maytorena's loyalty to Madero was the
result of payment by Madero to him of
118.00c pesos as damages to buildings
and crops of the Maytorena hacienda .
Appearing in greater number than ex-
pected the "Porfiriosista' deputies de-
rrianded that congress declare Sonora loyal
to Huerta.
Replying to the opposition the Maderis-
tas declared the Diaz charges We're due to
the influence of Col. Emilio IxosteTlitzky,
former chief of rurales. who is accused
of having seized and destroyed copies of
the governors address to the people urg-
ing opposition to Huerta.
The Maderistas accused Kosterlitzky' s
sUb-officers of having perverted the text
OF the governors proclamation in an en-
deavor to make the people believe May
torena had urged allegience to the Huerta
regime.
Deputies from all the larger centers OF
population. Nozocaria, Magdalena, Kos
teilitzly's home; Aqua Prieta and Quay
au.as, were reported to be supporting Gov
error Maytorena.

When questioned regarding probabil-
ity of further complications in Mex
leo General Diaz replied:
"rhat depends entirely upon the en-
ergy of the provisional suppressing
brigandage. Felix Dlaz has had long ex-
perience and fully realizes the impor-
tance of enforcing respect for life and
property in his government"
When reports of the possibility OF
Intervention by the United States were
mentioned the former Mexican presl-
dent gravely added; II and my adher-
ents always have been, and VIII re-
main sincere friends of the United
States government. / cannot imagine
the United States or others taking any
action inconsistent with Americas Well
known honesty of purpose.
General Diaz hopes and intend TO re-
turn to Mexico at some time.
This, however, he said, will not be
until peace has been firmly re-estab-
lished, and my return cannot have any
misconstruction placed upon 1t by brig
andage' "Should foreign complica-
tions arise, however, l will hold myself
at my country's service" he declared
General Diaz has not settled upon his
plans for the future beyond leaving
