FEAR OF INTERVENTION UNITES
Head of Great rnlw rslty Awowd of
Highhanded Methods In Ridding
College of Enemies.
NEW YORK, March 14. (Special.)
Nicholas Murray Butler will bare to
leave Columbia University or more
than half of his professors will turn In
their resignations was the purport of
statements made by alumni and others
close to the university today.
That a. large number of professors
IV. n I--.,--. . -I x- I nave organised an insurgent moverarm
ue la Barra issues Appeal to to fISht tr. Buur. and that the b.ttie
will be carried on to the bitter and. was
an admitted fact and common talk
around the university today. It was
said that Dr. Butler's ' high-handed
methods, unfairness and Insidious ways
cf ridding the college of men who have
long been In Its serrtce. but to whom
he has been antagonistic, would be
tolerated no longer.
Men close to the faculty said that.
If President Butler attempted to taKe
the academic bead of Professor Gattell.
following the tatter's suggestion at a
faculty meeting yesterday to organise
a committee to Investigate the employ
ing and dismissal of teachers, matters
would result In a showdown which
would mean the resignation of every
one of the Insurgent body.
Get Together.
EACH STATES HIS POSITION
Madero Demands Observance of Con
stitution and Real Elections.
Umanloar Admits Reforms
Are) Needed In Mexico.
" XTTT TORK. March 14. Before
Fettor de la Barra departed for Wash
Ins-ton today he gave out here the
proofs of an article which will appear
tomorrow In the Independent, on The
Situation la Mexico," urging all his
countrymen, regardless of "all divl
slons ef party, all differences between
men." to recall the "sacred Interests of
our country." and "to work together
for the progress of true democracy and
best development of the motherland.'
The Ambassador penned this appeal
only last night. . after his conference
with Fenor Limantour. the Mexican
Minister of Finance, and be considered
It so Important that at the very last
moment he had It crowded into the
locked forms.
Insurrecto leaders to whom the para
graph was shown said they considered
It an invitation to come into camp, and
its Issuance mskes more notable a
trend of events that has been discov
erable for the last three days.
After the first shock of surprise In
the Vetted States, and of alarm and
distrust in Mexico caused by the dis
patch of :o.oos American troops to the
frontier, there began a series of for
mal dip'omatlc exchanges between the
two rowers, and a series of carefully
weighed interviews and authorised pub
llrat,"t. In the daily press. Under
neath 'this current ran a deeper tide
ef sympathy between countrymen who
might t at odds, but were still coun
trymen. "Intervention means war." said
Senor Limantour. in so many words.
"Intervention?" answered Dr. F. Vas
cues Gomes, the Insurgent representa
tive at Washington, who has been here
for three days. "The moment there la
Intervention there will cease to be an
Insurrection. Both sides will make
common cause against a common
enemy."
Streams Flow Together.
In short, it became plain that two
streams of tendency were flowing to a
Junction. On on side there was a
disposition on the part of the insur
gents to open negotiations with the
representatives of the Mexican admin
istration here; on the other there was
a growing understanding between the
Mexican government and the United
States. Virtually. Senor Limantour .is
willing to have it understood that if
the United States will take care of
srauggllnc. bis government will take
care of the lnaurrectos.
In most of his statements he has
been careful to dwell on both these
point. He holds out the latchstrtng
to the lnsurrectoa. with a promise of
reform, and calls Washington to ac
count In the share Americans have
taken In the financing and leading of
the revolution. Therefore, with Senor
Limantour and Secretary Dickinson, of
the War Department, in town, the Ma
deroa and Ambassador de la Barra in
the same hotel, the conviction grew
that an understanding between them
would be reached today.
This conviction was strengthened by
the warning Issued by the Junta her
last Sunday to "look for something on
Tuesday," and the sudden secrecy and
activity with which their councils,
heretofore so open to the public, be
came cloaked.
Madero Calls on Limantour.
Fredartco Madero. a brother of Ous
tavo. head of the Junta here, let fall
today that his brother had recently
made a call on Senor Limantour. On
of his friends said this afternoon that
Gustavo had spent part of the morning
with Secretary Dickinson, but the Sec
retary himself dashed all Intimations
with cold water.
"I have not been In communication
with the Maderos. either directly or in
directly." he said tonight. "I have
never met any of them and I have had
no word from any of them. I carry
no messages from them to Senor Li
mantour. My presence here has noth
ing to do with the Mexican situation."
The belief grows here. however,
among those closely in touch with both
camps, that some understanding will
be reached. It was pointed out that.
If Francisco Madero. Sr, has already
seen Senor Limantour once, he Is like
ly to find means of keeping in touch
with him as the situation may demand.
The Maderos are considered the
wealth and brain of the revolution.
They are not in sympathy with the
Socialist movement in Southern Cali
fornia. "If thorn fellows win." said Gustavo
Madero today, "we shall have to fight
them."
If then, the Maderos have been won
over by assurance on the on hand

PEKIN, March 14. The Russian minis

ultimatum to the Chinese foreign board
this afternoon. It caused much surprise
among the officials, who seemed not to
realise the gravity of the crisis.
M. Koroexovetz last week for the sec
ond time requested permission on behalf
of his government to establish observa
tion etaulons 'along the Amur and else
where on th frontier. He desired to
place doctors snd polios In Chinese
border towns effectively to quarantine
th frontier.
China viewed this as an Infringement
on her Integrity, and the Russian min
ister was notified' that a reply would
be given today. In the meantime M.
Korostovets was requested to obtain
further explanations from St. Petersburg
regarding the nature of the proposals,
whereupon th Russian government evi
dently decided there wss no further use
in parleying.

It la pointed out that for many weeks
th press throughout Asiatic Russia has
been supporting the desire of the mili
tary for th annexation of Mongolia
and Northern Manchuria, but the Chinese
foreign board does not anticipate a
serious invasion.
Some of the Chinese express the hope
that the United States will interfere and
propose arbitration, but foreign residents
do not believe the American Government
will take part In any of these controver

The outlook Is for good crops, in view

LONDON, March 15. Sir Edward
Grey's epoch-making speech as every
Liberal favoring a permanent peace
treaty with the United States calls it,
has aroused enormous interest through
out Europe and was again the absorbing
topic in the parliamentary lobbies yes

By universal consent, it is the most
Important made in Parliament In years.
Some Conservative morning papers, tak
ing the ground that the Foreign Secre
tary's Ideal is almost Impossible of at

point to the difficulty of the path.
The Liberal organs, on' tha other
hand, hall it with unbounded enthusi

the scoffing remarks heard from the
Conservative benches while Sir Edward
was speaking, such as "how about Mex
ico?" and similar interjections offensive
to the United States.

would come from the Irish sections.
. The Nationalist members in the
House of Commons, discussing the mat
ter, are frank in declaring that it
would be quite impossible to secure ac

has been granted Ireland.
