' ' Huertu Set's Mistake.
WASHINGTON', Oct. 16. United
States government of Hclnls' today ex
pressed their entire satisfaction over
the decision of foreign diplomats at
Mexico City, recommending that
their various governments send war
ships to Mexican water-, with r, view
to quieting the internal troubles of
the republic. It is felt in Washing
ton that recent developments have
completely vindicated the Wilson nd
ministration's attitude of disapproval
toward iHuerta. Officialdom here
could hardly conceal its ciatificatlon
over the fact that those governments
who huvo previously recognized Hu
erta's administration are now com
pelled to admit that the view taken
of the situation by the United State
was correct. :
Huerta Spare For Favors.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16. Alarmed
"by the universal disapproval of his
conduct as expressed by the entire
diplomatic corps, Huertu was so chns
ene.d that today . attempted to ex
plain his delay In answering the se
vere notes sent him by Wilson and
Bryan, and which concerned his ac
tion In placing in prison members of
the chamber of deputies, and then
proclaiming himself dictator. Huor
ta nlletred that he had not -creived
the notes officially. Diplomas now
believe that Huerta will respect the
iuei-?age conveyed and ovoid forcing
a crisis. Huerta said lhat he wr.s
greatly disturbed over the decision
asking that the powers send war
ships to .Mexican waters.

By ballot on the first article of
tho impeachment, chargipg that
ne fiied a false statement of
campaign expenses, Sulzer was
found guilty, late this after-
noon.
ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 16. That
the Sulzer Impeachment court con
siders its work practicably done and
all of the articles of impeachment
disposed of, and oniy the final vote
remaining to be taken, was unoffic
ially suited by a .member of the
court at the close of the forcnuon's
executive session today. Because
most of the members of the court
wish, however, to repeat the argu
ments presented in executive session,
in order that they mnv go on the of
ficial records, It Is said that the final
vote would probably not be reached
until very late today, and possibly
not before tomorrow. The impeach
ment court met in executive session at
10:30, and following this session ad
journed until 3 p. ni., when, it was
announced, tho hearing would be re
Bumad publicly. Tho general opin
ion la that Sulzcr's removal from the
governor's office is a mntiininaticul
certainty, ns the prosecution has two
thirds of the votes. This fact was
demonstrated last night when a bal
lot was taken In the cunt ro veiny con
cerning the first char up in the ar
ticles of impeachment, hi which Sul
zer is accused of filing f.lso state
ments regarding his rmnpatgn ex

In enforced efforts to spread out our stiffened legs over the last
reaches, there was left no longer sufficient energy at camping times to
erect snow shelters. Our silk tent was pressed into use. Although the
temperature was still very low, the congenial rays pierced the silk fabric
and rested softly on our eyelids closed in heavy slumber. In strong winds
it was still necessary to erect a sheltering wall, whereby to shield the
tent.

EUREKA, Cal., Oct. 16. The

hour of the evening yesterday. The

While the Merced Is badly damaged.
