HARRIS TO HOLD CENSUS JOB.
Not to Lose Place as Director While
After Georgia Governorship.

Director William ]. Harriss of the
bureau of the census undoubtedly will
conduct his campaign for the governor
ship of Georgia without even losing
his status as head of the census office.
He left here Saturday. and will be gone
for three weeks on a speeohmakins
tour in Georgia in the interest of his
cause. 1t is probable that he will spend
much time after that in his home state
looking after his campaign.
Secretary Redfield made it plain this
afternoon that he was not going to
accept Director Harris resignation at
this time. and for that reason did not
have in mind any successor to the head
Of the census bureau. When asked if
he had accepted the verbal resignation
rendered by the census director last
week. Secretary Redfeld said: Il most
certainly have not and 1 am not going
20 accept it. 1 told him when he came

EXPECTS CHRIST IN PERSON
Rev. DR.. w. L. McEwan Says Com

PITTSBURGH. Pa. May 25.-+Ministers
today were discussing a sermon delivered
Yesterday by Rev DIR. w. L. McEwan,
pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church,
on the ascension, which he closed with
these words:
1.-The ascension is a guarantee that
Christ will come again. 1t will be a
personal coming; it will be a visible
coming; it will be in glory and it will
be sudden. 1t may be soon. sooner than
the Indifferent world expects. 1t Is
not for US to know the times and the
reasons which the Father keeps in His
own hands, but there are conditions of
unrest so strange that devout scholars
are looking for the end of this dispen-
sation.'

ORDER TO DIMINISH
FLEET AT VERA CRUZ
Variance in the Opinions Regarding
the Movement of Vessels
Homeward.

Great Significance attaches to recent
orders involving a material reduction IN
the strength of the United States neet at
Vera Cruz and vicinity. An entire divl-
sion of Admiral Badgers fleet of battle
ships is to be ordered to the United
States lin order to give the crews
shore liberty" and twelve torpedo
boat destroyers have been ordered to
proceed to their respective home yards
for general overhauling. The home
coming division is commanded by Rear
Admiral Fletcher, and consists OF TOUR
battleships which have had the longest
continuous service in Mexican waters IT
was said the torpedo boats We're ordered
away because of threatened equlnoct1ai
storms, but that report was negauved by
the fact that five vessels of that type
are to remain on the station.
No Longer Apprehensive.
In some quarters the radical reduction
of the naval strength at Vera Cruz and
the apparent dissemination to increase
the military force at that port is taken
10 mean that the administration no long
sr apprehends any serious danger in that
,uarter from either the Huerta or the
carranza forces.
That impression is predicated on a
report that assurances nave peen given
hat Huerta is to retire from power
md that the constitutionalists will ac-
sept the assistance of the United
States in the establishment of stable
government organized in accordance
with the constitution.
Climatic Dangers Assigned.
Another explanation of the with
travail of so many warships from the
east Atlantic coast is that a large
number of the bluejackets are show
ng the effects of the hot weather and
BAD atmosphere and are being brought
home to recuperate. 1t is known
hat the authorities are more alarmed
over the climatic conditions in Mexico
Than over the reported military actlvi-
lies of the federal troops between Vera
Cruz and the City of Mexico.

constitutionalist force of 1900 men had
entered the state of Vera Cruz, and ex-
planning that the movement of federal
troops in that neighborhood was against
the constituencies and not against the
American garrison at Vera Cruz.

the activity of its army mistaken for a
violation of the agreement to suspend
hostilities pending the mediation nego-
