Ignatlon. lie delivered one ot the most
brilliant oratorical efforts with which
the chamber Las ever rung. 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.
Kvcry. entrance to the chamber and
11 street approaches' were guarded
by heavily-armed mounted police. Only
those vho came hours ahead of the
time got wltUin this cordon. 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

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.
The entire Cabinet reslsned this aft
ernoon, a corollary to the retirement
of Dlaa, and, as such, excited Utile In-tee-ie

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.

the members of the Legislature, Car

ernor. Madero was asked tonigrht when he
would resign the position of Provisional
President.
"When Senor De la Barra has be
come President ad interim," said Senor
Madero. "Naturally, I never have been
recognized by the government as Pro
visional President, but I have art-
nounced my Intention of resigning the
post given me by the revolutionists as
soon as peace Is completely restored.
After I go to Mexico City, having
spoken to all the chiefs on the way,
I will issue a manifesto renouncing any
claim to the Provisional Presidency."

Do you know what this difference represents? . 1
BER THIS FACT IN MIND. The company has earned in five years,
$25,000,000. It has expended $44,000,000. It has invested $19,000,000 more
'than it has earned.
This enormous difference, mind you, is the money that has been invested
in Portland by Eastern investors. It has been invested with the definite and
certain belief that, sooner or later, it will be returned with profit.
In PLAIN AND SIMPLE "WORDS, this $19,000,000 is the ACTUAL
MEASURE OF "CONFIDENCE which Eastern investors have shown in this
city's future I ' ' -
Can you name any company or individual that has shown a degree of con
fidence that is equalled by these very Eastern investors who have been invited
here by yourselves ?
