sentatiyes yesterday rushed work on the

main In Mexico until a stable govern
ment is established there was voiced by
Representative Borland. of Missouri.

Tho de facto government Of Gen. Car
rama Is growing weaker instead of
stronger. Apparently now his only pur-
pose or method of remaining in power ie

pie against the United States.
ut is not necessary that We should
abandon Mexico to anarchy, or close It
to the legitimate business and natural in
tercourse which should exist between
civilized states. The American army now
in Mexico should not come out, nor should
any promise be held out as to the pres
ent or future policy of this country to
any man or set of men now claiming to
exercise political authority in Mexico. Un-
til there is government In Mexico the

Her condition was known and failure to produce the child following her con finement, led to an investibation, which brought to light the body of the infant, on whose tiny neck were still visible the marks of the cord which deprived it of life. An inquest was held and an examination of the body by Dr. Silverman disclosed the cause of death. It was a clear case of mur- der, and the coroners jury so render ed verdict The girl was taken into custody and is now being held to await further action by the court.

 The information was wired to Val dez by Commissioner Driffield at Unga.
 The message states that on June II a Japanese cook in the employ of the codfishing station at Sanborn Harbor, Nagai island, one of the Shu- magin group, south of Unga, ran amuck and seizing a shotgun, fired into a bunch of fishermen, killing two of the men and wounding three others before they could seek shelter. Following this fiendish act the crazy Jap proceeded to set fire to three of the buildings belonging to the sta tion, and then committed suicide. The wounded men are now being cared for by the surgeon from the coast guard ship Manning, which arrived there a few days ago, and are expect ed to recover.
 It is believed the Jap suddenly be- came insane, as no other cause can be ascribed for his sudden attack up on the men and the firing of the The message to the mar shal does not state whether or not the buildings were destroyed, nor does it give any of the details sur the crime.
