Ills voice was repeatr lly drowned with applause and the floor fairly shook with the demonstration which followed his peroration: Tresldent Pot Brio Plox Is dead. Long live Citizen Porflrto Dlaa.' The speaker admitted thai General Dlaa had been called to account for his errors by a people who had progressed faster than the author of their prog ress had realized, but ha declared the good that (jeneral liax had done would live forever In history and out welth his mistakes. A long addreas on the constitutional polnta Involved In the change ot government waa deliv ered by Iwputy Melgarrgo.

They were quiet and well behaved. Outside the nail of r'lco the throng cheered lacroelves hoarse. Tumult of Joy Rrrakt Out. To the city generally the acceptance of the resignation of the President was announced by the clangor of the bells of the cathedral and by two dis charges i'f a cannon. Kor many squares on every aide of the chamber the streets wero black with people. Great crowds were scat tered over the Zocalo when the ring ing of bells and the filing of cannon announced the triumph of the revolu tion. With one accord they rushed to ward the chamber, but their progress waa halted by the multitude ahead. As the crowds melted away after the seslon by hundreds and thousands they fell Into Irregular marching clubs. They carried flan' and banners of the national green, white and red. litho graphs of Madero. laurel wreaths, brooms apparently symbolic of the t-lean sweep for the rebels and hun dreds of them sported staves and poles after tho manner of soldier with rifles. Practically all business was sus pended. Kverywhere windows were ahuttered. but the demonxtranta of last night had become excited but harmless celebrants. It threatened rain during the session of the Deputies, but the sun. as If In har mony with tho jubilation of the popu lace, came out brightly almost at the moment of the historic action of the President and the Congress. - On every balcony in the city, and they are a feature of ovary house and office building, women aad ebiidrea and those too Infirm to be In the at reel came out to witness tha celebration. Many of them tossed flowers and con fetti on the marching thousands. A heavy guard of mounted police was maintained In front of the Na tional Palace, near where seven per sons were killed and I wounded when the mob was fired on last night. The guard moved In a long ovsL An Incident, Illustrating tha temper of the people and the effect of their success against the government, oc curred when one of the marching clubs came awlnglng down the Zocalo. The last two guards on horses were cir cling about on their oval route when the marchers reached them. It was a rase of one get out of the way of the other. The foot column moved straight to ward the last two riders. The latter wheeled aa It to ride Into the crowd in the good, old-fashioned way. but hesitated In the .face of the assurances shown by those approaching them, and then gave way. spurring- their horsea to a gallop. IHimlngniez Appeals for Order. It was at a conference between Al fredo Rnblea Domlnguex. the personal representative of P. I. Madoro. and Francisco de la Barra. tha acting Presi dent, that the agreement to place the Maderlst troops at the disposal of the government In the name of tranquillity was reached. Only In case the federal troopa prove unable to control the sit uation will the former rebel soldiers be brought Into the city. Dominguca, who Is now the rsnklng Maderl.to In the capital, went Into the streets this afternoon accompanied by his staff, all wearing on their hats the rl-color used by the rebels In the field. Domlnguex waa on a mission of peace, following tha Issuance by him of a manifesto In which he had appealed to the people to refrain from disorder and to disperse. Riding from one group of manlfestants to another, he exhorted them to remember the dignity of their cause and not to disgrace themselves and their leader by rioting. Celebration First In SO lcat. ' The mobs did not disperse, but there was a marked improvement in their be havior. To promise, however, to go home without indulging in the novelty of absolutely free speech was too much. It Is the first time In 30 years that the people of Mexico have been given the opportunity to shout with Impunity the name of their choice tor the Presidency. Unused as they are to freedom from restraint, the older men of the country regarded It as remarkable that the thousands who have been parading the streets almost contlnuotifclx for more than 1 4 hours have not been guilty of worse deeds of violence. Few acts of ruffianism were com mitted today, and yet the police and authorities endured more from the crowds thaif they have been asked to suffer from any man In a generation. They were ordered not to fire, except under certain desperate circumstances, and not even when a young officer was pulled from his horse and struck in the face by an angry member of tho mob did the officer In command of the troops order his men to shoot. The as sailant of the officer was arrested. The shooting of a mob leader In front ot tho foreign office by the chief of police and his subsequent command to his men to fire followed an insult in? reply made by the crowds. The officer had precedent for his action, but precedents of that sort were not followed generally today. The people own the city tonight, and the soldiery la In second place Provisional President de la Barra acknowledged his elevation to that high office in an open letter to the Mexican people tonight- In It ha de clares he will not bo a candidate for either president or vice-president when a general election Is called.

ORDERS GIVEN TO ARMY Legislature May Be Arretted Jind Ceovernor Installed Trouble as to Choice of Executives Sot Wholly Unforeseen. JUAREZ. Mex., May 2J. The weak spot In the peace agreement between the revolutionists and the fedoral gov ernment the fact that the Legislatures of Mexico cannot constitutionally be coerced to name as Governor anyone but their own choice loomed large to day when it waa reported that the Leg islature of the State of Coahuila had refused to Install Senor Venustlano Carranxa, Maderos choice for Pro visional Governor. What happened In Coahuila. it la pointed out, -may happen elsewhere, and. though Madero. in explaining the situation tonight, indicated that the federal government, headed by Senor De la Barra. would co-operate with him In Influencing the Legislatures to pick the chosen Maderistas, resistance was not altogether Impossible. In the action of the Legislature of Coahuila In rejecting Senor Carranxa and auggestlng two other names. Ma dero sees nothing but an attempt to Install a friend in the Governorship. "The members of the Legislature." he declared. -though they should be elect ed by the people, really never have been and they have constituted heretofore merely a machinery by which General Dlax has put his Governors In charge. We will change all thla in time, but for the present we must place in power the Provisional Governors of our party. "Senor Carranxa is the popular choice of the people. Two years ago he waa the candidate for Governor, and. had we free elections, he surely would have been elected. 1 have given orders to our troops In the vicinity of Saltillo, the capital -of the State of Coahuila. to march upon the city. If necessary, but I am sure the federal government will co-operate with us in making the Leg islature respond to the real will of the people." The trouble over the choosing of Gov ernors was not wholly unforseen by the rebel leaders and caused them to ad vocate the retention of the entire Insur recto army, until all the Provisional Governors desired by the . Maderlstaa are Installed. Some today were inclined to lay the trouble to the Clentiflco" question. The "Clentificos" are said to have strong partisans in the State of Coahuila and rebel leaders here today openly charged that money had played Its part In blocking the election of Carranxa.
