MEXICO CITT. Dec. 8. In obedience
to a papal decree there will be begun
toi.igrht at midnight in every Catholic
church throughout tne repuouc m b,

Mexico. In St. Peter's, at Borne, at the
Baine hour, or 6 o clock. Home nine,

umiimnr Boeslanl. the apostolic
delegate, will officiate In the Church of
Guadalupe.
The revolution In Mexico has resulted
in conditions so bad that Secretary of
too Interior Hernandez recently sum
moned Mopslsnore BogfBlanl and ap
pealed to him to use the power of the
church to assist in restoring: wi der. The
Secretary required that tne rope issue
a decree to that end.
Liberals Protest Act.
The Liberals construed the act of
Se retary Hernandez as being antago
nistic to the laws respecting mo kk
aration of church and state and are
considering the expediency of inter
pellating the government in the Cham
ber of Deputies.
cr.f.rv Hernandez has also admit
ted that the army Is not nearly large
enough to give protection to haciendas
ami small towns. In reply to requests
from these quarters be nas sent me
note:
-The government Is making almost
unheard-of efforts to afford protection,
but to accede to all demands would re
quire an army of nair a inuiiou.
Private Aid to Be Asked For.
A plan has been outlined asking the
Chambers of Commerce and similar or
ganizations throughout the country to
appropriate money to maintain bodies
of volunteers whom the govrenment
will eauln with rifles and ammunition.
but it is understood the government
would expect those paying these voiun
teers to give a guarantee that the arms
and ammunition furnished will not fall
Into the hands of the rebels.
According to official reports, the reb
els in a series of attacks the last three
davs around Temescaltepec, in the State
of" Mexico, lost 128 men killed. The
federal loss is not given, and minor
surceases in other sections are reportea.
According to unofficial reports, how
ever, the rebels are gaining ground in
the north and coast regions of the State
of Guerrero, while they are fully hold
ing their own in other regions.
Stories of Atrocities Commoa.
There is less disposition in official
circles to belittle the movement In the
north, where the remnants of Orozco's
army are showing mora evidence of
concerted action, cnecne uampos aim
Indio Mariano virtually are in control
of Northern Durango. Mariano has
burned all bridges of the railroad be
tween San Juan del Rio, which he cap
tured, and Casa Blanca. south of wnlcn
a force of 500 federals is located., Cam
pos in the last few days has raided 14
haciendas. In connection with these
attacks, stories of destruction and atro
cities are common.
The rebels on the Pacific coast of the
State of Guerrero are said to have ac
ouired a little port south of Acapulco,
from which point they are shipping to
the interior ammunition and supplies
which they receive there. These reD.
els are commanded bv Andrew Almazan.
The general situation is best defined
by explaining that the government Is in
control of all the big towns and many
of the smaller places, but virtually all
the disturbed regions are In the power
of the insurrectos.
Federals I'aable to Pursue.
The government troops have been un
able to pursue them effectively because
of lack of numbers. The scattered do-
tachments accomplish little and for the
most part are left In the towns, while
the highways are at the mercy of the
rebels. Residents of rueoia say it is
not safe to ride outside the city limits.
The El Paso junta has named Flores
Macon for President. This has brought
from Mason the statement that it was
unauthorized." It Is believed he wi:i
not take any part in the opposition to
the government, although neither did
Emllio Vnsquez Gomez for months af
ter the rebels proclaimed him.
General Trevino, whom many of the
Zapatistas have proclaimed for the
presidency, has not as yet given his
approval, but, at the same time, he lias
not taken the trouble, to reject the
honor conferred upon him.

SENATOR BORAH, OF
fiOV EIWOR H1DLEV, OF MISSOURI
NEWLEADER HEEDED
Republicans Look With Favor
on Borah or Hadley.
LA F0LLETTE TOO EXTREME
Idaho Senator's Declaration That
Party Is in Advance of Former
Heads Agreed To Definite
Policy Is Essential.
(Continued From Flm Page. )
because of his authorship of the Payne
tariff law, which caused the Repub
lican party so much trouble, he Is not
a man to reunite the factions. He was
one of the principal causes of the split.
Borah's Name oa List.
Therefore, new leaders must be
brought forward men who have not
been leaders In Congress heretofore, at
least not recognized as' leaders of the
Republican party. It is not necessary
that the party leader shall be in Con
gress, but most of thoseunder consid
eration are found there. The list now
under consideration is headed by the
name of Senator Borah, of Idaho. Fol
lowing are the names of Governor Had
ley, of Missouri; Senator La Follette.
Justice Hushes, of the Supreme Court,
and others..
Justice Hughes is not to be consid
ered, for if he would not retire from
the Supreme Court bench to accept the
Republican nomination for President,
he certainly will not retire to lead the
movement to reorganize and rehablli
tate the Republican party a task that
is difficult and entails a vast amount
of labor and which promises to extend
over a considerable period. It Is con
ceded that the Republican party today
is so badly shot to pieces that Its re
habituation will require years before
the organization can present a formid
able front against the Democracy.
Objection Made to La Follette.
Senator Borah and Governor Hadley
are mentioned on practically equal
terms, and both have preference over
Senator La Follette, who is open to the
objection that he represents the ex
treme "progressive" wing of the Re
publican party, and is as much an ex
tremist in his line as are Penrose,
Crane, Payne or Cannon in theirs.
Borah and Hadley, on the other 'hand,
while progressive" Republicans, are
not extremists, and both are in good
standing with the leading men of both
factions of the party. They have
steered their political courses in strict
accordance with their judgment; they
have been with the "progressive" wing
when they thought that wing was right,
and have been against the "progres
sives" when they believed the "progres
sive" Republicans . were asking for
something unreasonable. In other
words, they have been absolutely Inde
pendent and thus enjoy the confidence
of men of both factions with whom
they are acquainted.
Both Senator Borah and Governor
Hadley are known to favor the recon
struction of the Republican party, and
are heartily opposed to the formation
of a third party. They both stand for
a more progressive party than the Re
publican party has been of late years.
but they believe the time has come
when the old "stand-pat" element, hav
ing; learned a lesson by disastrous ex
perience, is ready to recognize the ne
cessity for reorganization on new lines.
Furthermore, they believe and maintain
that more- can be accomplished, and
more speedily, by rebuilding the Repub
lican party than through the upbuilding
of a complete new party.
Borah Demands Definite Pollej.
The rehabilitation of the Republican
party would draw back many Repub
licans who joined the third party move
ment this Fall. The upbuilding of a
third party would alienate vast num
bers of voters not in sympathy with
that party or with the Democracy.
Senator Borah, however, is the only
Republican to make a comprehensive
suggestion with reference to the re
habilitation of the Republican party.
and his recent" Interview, widely quot
ed, has been extensively and favorably
commented upon. In that Interview he
said the Republican party could not
expect much of a revival of power until
It had submitted to the people a defi
nite and comprehensive, policy in re
gard to the great problems of the day.
He recognized the fact that the people
were in advance of their leaders that
Is. the old leaders. Ha suggested the
formulation of a definite and compre
hensive policy with reference to Na
tional .taxation, rehabilitation of the
financial system, and a proper and ef
fective treatment of the trust problem.
"The political party which offers to
the country a comprehensive and effect
ive plan which deals with these mat
ters in the light of present conditions
need have no trouble in commanding
the support of a vast majority of the
people for the next quarter of a cen
tury," said Senator Borah.
Nrlther Party Yet Has Plan.
He found the present laws and the
present administration of those laws
ineffective, and he found neither part;
coming forward with an adequate so
lution of the questions named. At the
same time he outlined generally his
view as to how those questions might
be solved, and proposed that something
definite be done.
The idea of Senator Borah has re
ceived wide approval, and the fact that
he has pointed out one of the essen
tials upon which rests the possibility
of rehabilitating the Republican party
has led to many suggestions that he
be selected to guide the party out of
its present dilemma. There has been no
definite move toward perfecting plans
of reorganization; no effort as yet to
pick a party leader, and until a start
is made everything will be In the air.

Right of Way in House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Criticism of
Colonel Roosevelt and - the Roosevelt
Progressive party and of President
Taft is exDected in the Senate early
In the week from Senator Works, of
California. It is understood he has
prepared a speech based on the revela
tions of campaign contributions and ex
penditures, and he is expected to deal
vigorously with the subject.
The resumption of the "money trust''
Investigation tomorrow and a hearing
Tuesday on the O'Shaugnessy resolu
tion for a Congressional Investigation
of "Grand Trunk and New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad operations
in New England" promise to divide
Congressional attention this week, with
the Archbald impeachement trial and
the consideration of general legislation
in the two houses.
Before the end of the week, it is ex
pected, the campaign expenditures in
vestigation by the Clapp committee and
the "shipping trust" Inquiry by the
House committee on merchant marine
will be under way. . Bankers and fi
nanciers from New York. Baltimore and
Pittsburg are under subpena to appear
before Chairman Pujos "money trust
Investigation committee during the
week.
In the trial by impeachment of Judge
Archbald. of the Commerce Court, ef
forts will be made to hasten the pres
entation of testimony. Senators are
skeptical as to the possibility of con
cluding the trial before the Christmas
recess.
Appropriation legislation will hold
the right of way in the House. It is
expected the oxecutlve, legislative and
judicial bill will be completed and
passed on this week and that consider
ation of the Indian bill will be begun.
The Senate committee on appropria
tions probably will make changes in
the legislative bill that will add sev
eral millions of dollars to the
measure. .
