high sounding title Of provisional Presi-
dent" and plans are made for appointing

takes the capital
All this is very interesting. In view of
the fact that all the official advices reach
ing Washington indicate that the govern
ment Of Huerta Is whipping his OPP
ponents. officials Of the administration
cannot see the slightest chance Of the
rebels ever taking Mexico City.
While officials who follow the situation
do not care TO accept the 'HUerta claim
that the backbone OF the revolution mas
been broken" they do think that Huer-
ta's forces are making gains. At Mazat-
Ian a speedy rebel victory was promised.
but the rebels have yet to make good.
The same Is true at Guaymas. South OF
piedras Negras the Consttutionalists up
near TO have suffered a rather severe de-
feat. They now claim that the federal
rear has been cut off, but the State De-
nortment has had no advices indicating
that this Is so.
The American consular agent at Los
Nochis has reported that in ten days
engagement, ending on September "a. 800
federals were defeated by 1000 rebels and
Los Mochis was taken. Foreign property
was not damaged and no Americans were

uome Secretary McKenna Says
will of Majority Must Prevail
and Home Rule Follow.
CARSON TO BE DEFIED
Conference Will Be Denied
Cabinet Minister Speaks with
Premier's Approval-King
in Difficult Place.
rBy Cable to The Tribune.l

1ondon. oct. 7.-Home Secretary
NcKenna made speech of great I'M
nortance last night. lie is The FIRST
cabinet Minister TO speak in public on
uome Rule since the Ulster crisis
strred VI by Lord Loreburn's famous
letter He said: The Liberal party
have convictions and have the courage
If their convictions. One of those con-
,.ictions is that in the government of the
country the will of the majority law
fully expressed through their repre-
sentatives must prevail, and upon that
conviction the Liberal party will stand.
There is indeed. no possible alternative.
We are not going to submit either 20
rule by minority or TO anarchy
The Home Rule bill will pass next
session through the House of Com
mons, by authority Of the representa-
tives Of the people. and if again re-
jected by the Lords it will pass under
the parliament act"
This speech shows that the Cabinet
has decided to run the risk of civil
war in Ulster. There is to be no con-
ference and Sir Edward Carson is to
Se defied.
Mr. MCKenna recognizes, as has AL
ready been pointed out in The Tribune.
that a conference means nothing but
procraStinatioD when one Of the par
ties opposes nothing but a fiat negative
10 the proposals of the other.
1t may be considered certain that
Mr.. McKenna spoke yesterday with
the approval of Premier Asquith, so
that the chance Of the Home Rule
question being compromised al the
eleventh hour is very small indeed.
Nevertheless, it would be idle to mini
mize the significance of the visi. of
Mr. Asquith to Balmoral.
The King is very intimately con-
cerned with the grave development Of
the Irish question. He has been
placed in a position Of great delicacy
and in a difficult position directly re-
sulting from and strongly resem bling
that in which he found himself at the
opening of his reign owing TO the con-
stitutional crisis caused by the agita-
ton 10 get rid of the House Of Lords
veto.
Premier Asquith yesterday succeeded
Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, as Minister Attendant on :he
King, at Balmoral and Andrew BUnar
Law, leader of the opposition, had q
conference with the Ulster Unionist
leaders. Sir Edward Carson and Fred
erick L. Smith.

CARED that the F1lipinos have proved
more than once their inability to control
the wild men of the southern ISLANDS,
particularly the Moros Even American
soldiers have been unable TO subdue COM
pletely the ferocious bolomen of the Moro
tribe. and there is no hope at all, in the
opinion OF competent authorities, OF the
F1lipinos ever being able to compete with
such tribes.
Another complication which the experts
see Is the disappearance OF any local veto
power over the acts OF the legislative
body. The lower house of the Philip
pines Assembly is completely in the
hands of the natives. The upper house
consists of the Philippines Commission,
Of which the Governor General Of the ISL
ands is a member, and which has a veto
power on the legislative actions of the
lower house. AS long as the majority of
commissioners were Americans there was
no thought in Washington of the neces-
sity OF vesting veto power in any other
person. The Secretary Of War in Wash
ington has always had veto power, but
has never been called upon to exercise It,
the American Commission having always
done away with unwise legislation.

Use Of Veto Power.

Under the new plan It will be necessary
for the Secretary OF War to scrutinize
legislative acts and, II necessary, veto
them. This disadvantage of having the
veto power vested in some one on one
side OF the world. while the legislative
body IS on the other, is pointed out by
Washington officials. who add that II the
veto power is given to the Governor
General Filipino politicians are likely to
make charges of bad faith against the
administration and declare that the prom
ises OF to-day have been qualified.
Washington will watch with great in
terest developments during the next few
months. 1t is believed that for few
months. at least, things will go smoothly
I'm the Islands and that the politicians in
Manila who control the legislature Will
exrcise great care and not do anything
that might shake the confidence of the
Wilson administration. But as TO the
ability OF the Filipinos TO keep up good
legislative behavior for any protracted
period there are grave doubts.
The Secretary OF War received to-day
the following telegram from Governor
Harrison
Arrived after pleasant voyage. The re-
ception-which am informed was an UNI
