CONDITIONS IN MEXICO.

Bishop Mcconnell OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church has returned from
an extended survey OF conditions an
Mexico. and states that II is hopeless
TO expect the restoration. Of peace
through either Huertz or the Consti-
nationalist leaders. In Mexico City
and its surroundings there Is no evil
cenee OF war. except the presence Of
soldiers. who are understood. poorly
disciplined. aud bad merksmen. OF
course. this condition OF auietude in
the City OF Mexico is liable to be dis
turbed In a short time. II reports of
Villas success around Torreon are
true.
The Bishop says thai railway trans
portation has become a serious prob
lem The railway which has not
suffered from dynamite is regarded
as fortunate. One railway employe
remarked to the Bishop: Our line
Is lucky. They merely shoot at our
trains and do not blow us I'D with
dynamite" Cheerful conditions FOR
travellers to contemplate. surely.
Bishop Mcconnell points out one
thing that has long been suspected
IN this country. that z greater portion
OF the lighting in the interior cannot
be styled war. but merely brigandage.
The depredations are carried on -
small bands of bandits. who prowl the
country. robbing and burning. With
out special hostility to any class of
citizens or foreign residents, but &C.
tuated apparently by cupidity and
sheer wantonness. These raids are
made In the night. and IL is suspected
that men who pose as laborers by day
are bandits at night.
So far as the question OF interven-
ton is concerned. IL is said that the
people are mainly Indifferent about IL.
while year ago they would bitterly
have resented suggestion of that
character. which indicates that they
are hopeless OF any solution of the
problem locally. Huerta, while a
heavy drinker. is not looked upon by
the Mexicans as a drunkard. Also
they do not believe he was an active
participant In the assassination of
Madero. Villa is considered an I'M
prinoipled bandit and Carranza an i'm.
practical dreamer. IL is a desperate
state of affairs. TO say the least.
