MEXICAN STRIKE IS OFF RAILWAY EMPLOYES AGREE WITH NATIOXAIS OFFICIALS. Americans Now Employed Will Not Bo Excluded, but Mexicans Will Have Opportunities. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 9. There will not a walkout of American engineers and conductors in the employ of the National Railways of Mexico. The employes and the management today agreed upon terms of settlement of their differences. -The- agreement was signed In tho office of K. N. Brown, president of the rail road. I'nder the terms of the agreement, no publication is permitted. The conductors and engineers ere en tirely satisfied with the peace terms, which include assurances tliat the policy of the railroad as recently outlined will be carried out. Mr. Brown issued a statement saying that the settlement was "mututally satisfactory." The policy referred to concerns the em ployment of foreigners. On this subject a resolution of the board of directors of the road declares: The company docs not propose to dis continue employing foreign citizens and much less to exclude these who are al ready serving by reason of their nation ality, but to give the Mexican citizen for reasons which are obvious and pub licly known, a chance and the oppor tunity to be promoted to responsible positions in the service of the railways, always when this may be coupled with an efficient and safe operation of the company's lines. That In order to carry this into ef fect the instructions of the board of directors have been, and will continue to be that, whenever a, vacancy occurs, it will, in all preference, be filled with Mexican employes when they have both the competency and qualifications re quired t herefor, and for this purpose the company has appointed competent and impartial committees which will continue to act in order to examine candidates or applicants to the posi tions of engineers and conductors, and one of the members of these exam ining boards wi il be selected bv the executive off icals from the engineers and conductors in the service. I'nion leaders agree that the settlement is the "most uniQue and extraordinary that has ever ben made." Just how it came about probably will never -be known to others than those instrumental in. bringing it into effect. OREGON IS PROVIDED FOR River and Harbor Bill Liberal, Say Representatives.

FACTS ARE CALLED HOl'SK COMMITTEEE OX POST ROADS PLEADS. If Kailroads Are Overpaid for Car rying Malls, Xo One Has Fig ures to Prove It. WASHINGTON', Feb. . (Special.) The1 House committee on postoffice and postroads is pleading that some one will come forward and submit proofs that the railroads are being greatly over paid for hauling the mails. It thought it did well when it cut down the re muneration by $8,000,000 In 1907. It has since then been entertaining unani mous opinions that the railroads were not paid too much. Even Representa tive Victor Murdock, Hotspur of the reformers, declares the Government is not being robbed and regards the mail contracts as fair. . Yet the magazine controversy has raised the charge that Uncle Sam is being plundered. The publishers who have been testifying before the com mittee have been appealed to in vain for facts and figures. Pinned down, none would make the charge that the railroads were enjoy ing a huge graft. However, unpre Paredness of witnesses does not dis pose of the issue, says the committee. It wants some one to come forward who has his case in shape so that some intelligent enlightenment can be ob tained. Meanwhile letters, pour In on the committee demanding that the thievery of the railroads be stopped. Implica tion is strong that the committee Is standing In. Representative C. Smith, a member. of the committee, gets his share from California, many of his let ters having sharp drills in them. But what he wants is evidence, and he ex tends an Invitation to the entire state to sent it on. His mind is still open on the question.

In an argument over Nelson testifying as to the balances kept by the American Telephone & Telegraph Company in one bank. Chief Counel T?verett showed counsel for the Cleveland phareholders the company's bank-book in the First Xatiorfal Bank which showed a balance in excess of $33,000,000. "And that is in only one bank." said Mr. Leverett. "Well, when we came here," said one of the Western lawyers. "we thought Morgan was the only man who could pay a check for $7,000,000, but thos bank books- have caused us to change 1 our opinions.' -Eugene May Extend Limits. EUGENE. Or., r eb. 9. (Special.)

BUREAU TO BE ABOLISHED Naval Construction to Be Placed Under Direction or Line Offi cers Cone Replies to Crit icisms of Capps. WASHINGTON Feb. 9. The long- drawn-out dispute In the House commit tee on naval affairs- over the subject of indorsing the plan of Secretary Meyer for the reorganization of the Navy is virtually settled, it was stated, today, and the committee will take action next week which will be. in effect, tentative approval of the Secretary's idea. The Secretary will have an opportunity to demonstrate In the next year the worth of his plans. Representative Daw son, of Iowa, furnished the suggestion by which the committee and the Secretary reached a common understanding. Under Mr. Dawson's plan, which it Is expected the .committee will adopt, ap propriations for 1911 will be made under the old system, but Secretary Meyer will be vested with authority to distribute the expenditures as he may see tit. Diversion Guarded Against. To guard against a diversion of funds from their proper channels, it will be required that the money be spent solely for the purpose intended by Congress. This will permit the Secretary to divert funds from one bureau to another. In ac cordance with his plan, and will still pon tine them to the objects intended. The committee is expected to require further that, when the Secretary submits his es timates to Congress for the year 1912, he must do so under the existing plan of apportionment. . This will avoid exigen cies of law as to the Meyer plan and at the same time will give the Secretary the opportunity of trying his reorganization idea for e. year. Bureau Plans Changed. The Meyer plan provides for the aboli tion of the Bureau of Equipment, the placing of all naval construction under the direction of officers of the line and a rearrangement of the duties of some other departments. Rear-Admiral H. T. Cone, chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, was be fore the committee today in an endeavor to refute charges made by Admiral Capps, chief of the Bureau of Construction, who told the committee some days ago that Admiral Cone's figures on certain - esti mates, and expenditures were incorrect. Admiral Cone's explanations seemed sat isfactory to the committee. . Secretary Meyer will eppear again be fore the committee, after which the naval appropriation bill will be taken up and reported.

I can not too highly praise this remedy. I recommend it heartily to all who are troubled with impure blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla effects its won derful cures, not simply because it con tains sarsaparilla, but because it com bines the utmost remedial values of more than twenty different ingredients. There is no real substitute for it. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "Just as good" you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make and yields the dealer a larger profit.

Characterized by Mr. Lever of South Carolina as the largest consumer of cot ton' in the South. Louis W. Parker, a Greenville, S. C. manufacturer, said that, as a rule, futures control -the spot cot ton. He declared that the exchanges are not of advantage, either to the consumer or to the producer, and that it seemed impossible to make the exchanges realize the fairness of the complaints against them. "Don't you think that we would have a picnic in buying cotton if exchanges were abolished?" Mr. Parker was asked. 'We would abide by the results." he answered. "The absence of exchanges would revolutionize the character of the present business. There would be no dif ficulty in effecting readjustments." . "Has the cotton producer this year realized, through speculation more than he would have without speculation?' "Yes." replied Mr. Parker, "but thts Is an exceptional year." Declaring he had been selling spot cot ton to the mills for 20 years, and that he had found 90 per cent of the spinners were bears. Charles S. Webb, a broker, contended for the necessity of hedging against future deliveries and predicted that abolition of the cotton exchanges would put the price of cotton in the hands of the spinners. Postal Bank Bill Delayed. WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. Because Sen ator Bailey is not ready to make the speech, in opposition to the postal sav ings bill, of which he has given notice, the measure probably will go over until next week.
