MEXICAN SITUATION
ALARMS WASHINGTON
President Calls Special Cabinet
Meeting to Consider

Washington. After prolonged
oablnat session Secretary of But
Knox waa directed by President Taft
to reply to the request of Francisco L
Madero of Mexico for definite state-
men, of tb policy of tb United State
lownra mwiiu.
Upon leaving tb Whit Hous Sec
retary Knox reiterated that Interven
tion waa not now contemplated nor
would there be any change In th
naval or military plan relating to
Mexico.
Th report from Mexico City that
th armistice bad been declared off
and that hostilities had been resumed
caused Intense Interest among tb
cabinet officers.

that bas continued to com Into Wash
ington for the laat few daya, not

vored intervention wben summoned to
tb meeting.
The strictest censorship on all dis
patches bas been established In Mex
ico City.
Government official took charge of
tb cable office and discarded mes
aagea of correspondent to their pa
pers.
The president was plainly disturbed
to learn that communication between
Mexico and the United State waa pre
carious and that an aparently strict
censorship bad been Instituted by
Mexican autborltlee. ilia fear ha
been that such a condition might arise
and that American In Mexico City
might find themselves facing a situs
tlon ilk that which existed In Pekln
at the time of the Boxer rebellion.
ARMISTICE IS SOON BROKEN
Heavy Firing Soon Announces Return
of Troop to Poat
Mexico City. Hostilities were re
sumed with renewed fierceness after
a truce which lasted only a tew hours.
The armistice signed at 2 o'clock
Sunday morning by the representa
tives of both sides, agreeing to sus
pend operations for 24 hours, waa bro
ken before noon. Soon sounds of
heavy cannonading and the whirr of
machine guua announced the return
of the federal troops to their post In
from of the arsenal. It appeared a If
the words of Madero and Dlax might
prove prophetlo and that thla time
the battle should be to a finish
President Madero reiterated bia re
fusal to comply with the suggestion of
the senators that he resign. He de
clared that he still was able to domin
ate the situation and that, If given
time, he would crush the rebel forces.
General Dins bad not shown himself
to bo greatly In favor of the armistice.
He consented to It out of respect for
the efforts of the American ambassa
dor and the ministers of the powers
to bring about a ceasatlon of hostili
ties until foreigners and other non-
combatants within the xone of the
fluhling could bo removed to a posi
tion of comparative safety.
There Is little actual suffering from
lack of food or shelter within the city,
but there Is a vast amount of dis
comfort and great danger to those who
remain.

The Color of Wster.
Bom Interesting experiment were
made at Llege for the purpose of ascer
taining the true color of water. The
water was first boiled four hours over
potash mnngnnat and permanganate
aud then distilled twice In platinum
vessels and the product received In a
llrer vessel protected from contact j
with the air. This water when evapo
rated left no ataln.
In order to obtain the requisite depth
of water for the light to pass through
and make any color It would glv visi
ble, there were used glass tubes of six
teen feet In length and rather more
than one and one-half Inchea In width.
The tubes were closed at both end by
glass lints and furnished with a pip
throtieb which the water could be in
troduced. When pure water was
placed In these tube and white light
sent through It the color was of a blu
-of which It Is dllllcult to represent the
purity." It la aald that the finest blue
on a fine day In a mountain region,
abov the grosser emanations of the
soil, can alone be compared with It
No change occurred when' the water
was kept In the tubes for several
weeks. The addition of. a little lime
water, which appeared quite limpid,
entirely stopped the passage of the
light. Just aa If Ink had been put In.

Washington Asked to Abandon Fight
On Corporation
Snlem, Or. If diplomacy means
nnythlng, the Washington legislature
certainly Bhould Immediately abandon
Its attempt to shut the Northwestern
Electric compnny out of Oregon, Inso
far as the selling of electric energy
from Washington to Oregon points la
concerned.
One of the most diplomatic resolu
tions ever Introduced In the Oregon
legislature, and one which Is aimed to
show the Washington legislature that
Oregon is a friendly neighbor, was
that which was adopted by the house.
It was Introduced by Olson, of Mult
nomah, and cites th friendly relations
existing between the two states. It
ended by suggesting that if there are
nny grave difference worthy of the
effort of great Btates, that a confer
ence committee be named by both
states.

A Queer Afrloan Plant
In South Africa there Is found a
plant of the genus mesembryanthemum
growing on atony ground which bo
closely resembles a pebble that it is
Invariably taken by the stranger to be
a stoue. . Another species of the same
plant growing on the hills round the
Karoo produce two leaves about a
large as duck' eggs, having a surface
resembling weathered atone of brown
ish gray color, tinged with green.
These planta look like stones, but for
a abort time they pot forth bright yel
low flower. Still another species ot
the same plant resemble tha quarts
pebbles among which It grows.
Car of an Electric Fan.
Most people have no use for an elec
tric fan In the winter. It should be
stowed away properly, however, so
that It will be kept In good condition
and be rciuly for service next season.
Here's the best way to do it: After
you have unscrewed the connecting
plug nt the end or the nexinie wire ira
which has been used to supply current j U
to tne ran rrnm tne iigntiiig socuei ,5
plnee the fun on n table and wipe It
off thoroughly with a dry cloth or dry
cotton waste. Go over the whole fan
carefully and get the dust off all the
exposed parts, even the blades. Now
unscrew the tops of the oil cus. which
are at each end of the armature shaft
and fill them with good lubricating oil.
Replace the enps and wind the flexible
connecting wire around the base of the
fan and Inclose the whole In a paper
bag. ' ,

Tbe latest development in electric
cookery is the automatic range, which
possesses many unique features. It
will get breakfast while you sleep, pre
pare luncheon while you are shopping
and cook dinner while you are at the

The vital parts are a clock and a
thermometer. After tbe food bas been
prepared and placed In Its receptacle
In the range tbe clock automatically
turns on the heat at the appointed
time, and the thermometer automati
cally turns It off when the boiling, bak

reached. The stored beat completes the
cooking process.
