Mexico City, May 25. President DIa will resign this afternoon. The serious condition of his health and the (lunger of anarchy, presaged by last night's rioting, caused him to dccldo not to delay any longer. After a sleepless night Diaz found big groups of persons parading the btrcets Uiis morning despite the ram. Tlio crowds carried banners Inscrib ed "Viva Madero" and other revolu tiomiry inoltos. Four pcrhJied dur ing tlfb riots lust night. Members of the diplomatic corps began visiting Dluz to iuy lust resiMfts this fore noon. It Is rcKricd that Diaz will retire jo Hacienda for a recuperation, before sailing for Euroc. China and Jnpan Protest. Hoth Chinese- and Japanese lega tions have protested to the Mexican government against the slaying of their countrymen at Torreon. How ever, with Diaz on the eve of resign ing and the whole governmental ma chinery disjointed, there is little prob ability of any official satisfaction for the affair being given to cither coun try. This may be attended to when Madero takes hold of the govern ment's reins. In Hands of Mob. For six hours last night the city was In the hands of a mob until a rain storm more effective than police and soldiers caused the dispersal of most of it. At midnight, however a rem nant, keeping step to the beating of tin palls and paying no attention to the downpour, continued the demon stration, eyed by police and soldiers. Twice soldiers fired on the mob, the first time at the Zocoto, the big square In front of the national palace and again to disperse a mob which had stoned the building occupied by EI Imparcial and set It on fire. At 8:30 It appeared that the crowd was dispersing. The main body had been broken Into smaller groups, but at that time some of these had grown more demonstrative In the big plaza In front of the palace and the police de termined that the time had come for drastic measures. The shouting, ges ticulating mass of humanity was warned to move on, but a confidence born of better treatment early in the evening caused them to receive with derision the order of the police. Are Fired Upon. Again they were told to disperse and again no attention was paid to the order. Quickly their shouts of ridicule wero turned Iniu cries of an guish for the guns of the police and soldiers wer throwing Into their midst a hall of bullets. The living stumbled in a mad rush over the bod ies of the dead and wounded. The narrow streets leading from the Zocoto were jammed with fleeing men and women. For a few minutes the guns i pd, lint a ed, Tint a gathering in the street cor ners of the now thoroughly enraged as wll ns frightened, partisans of Madero resulted In another order to fire at will. Sharper nnd longer now camo the shooting. Tho mob fled, but con-' trnry to all traditions of Mexico, the troops had not yet Intimidated the rioters to the point where they were willing to submit. The force of tho Iron hand was weakening, and despite tho death It had brought the rioters refused to do more than scatter Into miniature mobs, each shouting for Madero and yelling for tho early downfall of the present government. .Madero Turns Down Capital.

Politicians here today declare that the Bristow amendment which provides for the control of senatorial elections by congress Instead of state legislatures is a factor which will defeat the bill for direct election of senators.

Emil Hecht. a clerk in the drug store of . A. C. Williams, 1681 West Sixty-third street, yester day, according to a report that has been sent to Coroner Hoffman, ad mitted he was responsible fr the death of Mrs. Belle Duncan, 7131 South Paulina street. Hecht said that hi? hail filed a prescription for the woman and had given her strychnine instead of morphine by mistake. He blamed the Rev. J. F. Futcher, 6610 Loomls street, pastor of the Ashland Avenue Christian church, for his error. Ho Fald the clergyman came into the store while he was fill ing the prescription and upbraided him because his daughter had. failed to get a bottle of grape juice for com munion service when she called for It. The preacher's lecture, he said, confused and he got the bottles of drugs mixed. The Rev. Mr. Futcher denied there was any truth In Hecht's statement, so far as he was concerned. "I had no argument whatever with the young man," said the clergyman. "It is cowardly for him to drag my name into this case." GLA1UING A8REEMEKT El Paso, Slay 25.

On his completion of this task, h will then report to the council, and if his report is approved, notice will be published and the plans and specie fications, estimates of work and cost and a description of proposed assess ment districts be placed on file in the recorder's office where c'tizens may have free access to them. If a remonstrance containing the signa tures of eighty per cent of the proper ty owners affected is presented with in ten days thereafter, the council it then restrained from taking any fur ther action and may not again take up the same proposition for six months.

If the property own ers on West Court street and in con tiguous territory approve by silence the paving of that street, and there is every reason to believe they will, an effort will be made to rush that work to completion before the Roundup in September.
