Mercury Went Down to Twenty at :
O'clock Monday Morning.

From The Daily Item, March ,.
Last night was the coolest night Of
the winter. The mercury was down
to twenty degrees at seven o'clock
this morning, and in places exposed
to the wind it was reported several
degrees colder than that 1t is also
probable that earlier in the morning
it might have been even colder. The
coldost temperature recorded pre-
vicus to this morning was twenty
four.
The snow has almost al disappear
ed. The rain Saturday evening caused
the melting process to go on much
more rapidly than it otherwise would
have done and the high wind Sunday
and Monday carried off all of the
moisture from the ground, preventins
much Of the s!ush and d4sagreoable-
ness under foot which otherwise
would have lasted for several days.

Washington, Feb. 2S.--William 8.
Benton, the British subject slain at

death in Villas office, pistol bullets
through the stomach ending his life,
according to conclusive information,
which has reached WASHINGTON Off
cials.
While no statement TO this effect
was forthcoming today, slackening of
Official interest in tire proposed post
mortem on Benton's body was evident,
the belief being that the examination
would be useful only in that it might
serve to supplement the evidence Of
timld witnesses, who possibly other
wise would withdraw their oral state
ments
Benton carried no arms when he
approached Villas Office in Juarez,
according to information; he spent
two hours waiting for the interview
that ended in his death, walking back
and forth in front of the office build
ing; he was shot through the stom-
ach after he entered the office and re-
ceived other wounds afterwards. al

UPHOLD VETOES.
Bicascitcs i'm Legislature apparently
Organized to Rack up Their Lee cr

Columbia, Feb. 27.-The admins
tration followers lined Up behind
Gov. Blease in the house tonight and
sustained his veto on several local
bills. The uniformity and solidity
of the vote save the opposition the
first hint that the followers Of Gov.
Blcase had banded together and were
going to back up his action in We
toing bills. The vote tonight ranged
from SO to 40 to sustain the veto,
ana while the opposition pOlled ma
jority, about 5S, there were not
enough for the necessary two-thirds
and the acts died.
n rumor spread around the capitol
tonight that the Blease followers eau
cused this afternoon and mapped out
the policy which they would follow.
1T is understood that the caucus
agreed to back up the governor, and
on the different items discussed there
were votes, the majority Of the eau
Gus binding the others.
\ crowd was seen coming from the
Union National Bank building this af-
ternoon and hurried count develop
ed that about fifty supporters Of the
administration were coming from a
caucus at which legislative matters
had been discussed 1t is said there
were four senators and about fifty
one members Of the house in attend
ance on the caucus, with three prom
inent leaders of the administration
unable to be present.
There is an understanding tonight
that the Bleasc followers went over
the various items of the appropria-
tion bill and reached an agreement
ON what they would do, and it is un-
derstood that they will generally take
the course mapped out by the senate
ana keep the appropriation bill down
to the minimum. Gov. Bleasc is un-
derstood TO have participated in the
caucus.
The action of the Blease members
in reaching an agreement to back
the governor means no matters will
be passed over his veto in the house
this session any more. The house Is
anti-Blcasc, but not by two-thirds
majority.
