A special agent Of the United States

to learn frst-hand the fate OF Vice Con-

AS this agent is to be sent from the
consular agency in Monterey. in territory
held by the constituttonalists, and is to
enter Saltillo which city is yet in the

Silliman's Safety in Doubt.
So persistent has been the silence
for the last few days of the Mexican
foreign office with regard to the Amer
lean requests for actual Information
regarding Silliman that anxiety in
many minds has turned to apprehen-
sion that Silliman, despite previous as
surances of his safety from Hureta's
agents. may again have been held in
custody. Some officials fear that he
may have been killed.
It is more than week since the
Mexican foreign office and the Brazilian
minister in Mexico City declared that
Silliman had been released and was en-
route to the capital to be turned over
to the Brazilian authorities for safe

peal Bill.

An attempt to obtain unanimous con-
sent for a vote on the Panama canal

ator Kern of Indiana, democratic lead
er of the Senate. preferred a request

porter of the repeal bill. made the OBJ
lection. He said that the time had not

Senator Kern in support Of his request.

Night Sessions Probable.
Later Senator Kern said that the daily
sessions of the Senate would begin at II
O. clock in the morning instead of noon.
and that as soon as the democrats had
