A dl.patra from Mexico City a)ni "Heavy caanoDadinK wnm heard at 10 o'eloek tonight and It la believed the Fedrrala acnln are advancing." MEXICO CITT. Feb. 14. The resigna tion of Francisco I. Madero from the Presidency Is believed to b ir. the hands of the Mexican Ministers. It was authoritatively declared that Madero had agreed to resign if the Senate so wished. The Senate was called into session about 8 o'clock tonight to take action on this Important phase of the situation. At the British legation, where Senor De la Barra took refuge Thursday, it was said that Madero's resignation practically had been arranged for, and that De la Barra probably would suc ceed him In the Presidency. Intervention Is Dreaded. Later, Senor De la Barra. while pro ceeding through the streets in an auto mobile, stopped and made a brief ad dress, assuring the crowds that a peace settlement was certain and probably would be reached before morning. De la Barra seemed to be in consultation with both Madero and Diaz regarding a quick settlement in order to avoid Intervention. At 6 o'clock tonight General Huerta, the federal commander, gave the order to cease llring. Soon detachments of Federals were seen marching from their positions to the government base near the palace, their guns slung on their backs. Rebels Continue Firing. To those watching the battle it was no surprise to hear the bugles sound the order for the federals to cease firing. The tired soldiers obeyed with alacrity, but the effect on the rebel lines of Huerta's order was different. The small arm Are increased in volume, as If the besieged were expressing defiance. Ten minutes later all firing along the federal lines ceased, but that from the rebels continued, though in diminishing measure, a cannon now and then send ing a shell first to one side and then to the other as If marking time. The rebels were not reinforced today, hut the federals had received additions to their ranks and the claim was made by the government that it had no fewer than 6000 men available. The rebels numbered 3000, Including several hundred men who deserted to them to day. The federal forces were increased by 700 brought by General Blanquet from Toluca early in the afternoon. Spanish Minister With de la Barra. Francisco de la Barra, formerly pro visional President, who in all prob ability will become President in succes sion to Madero, was accompanied to the arsenal and to the palace by the Span ish Minister. lie did not divulge the nature of his conversations, but ex pressed the hope that hostilities were cw)sed. The rebels obtained their first per sonal revenge today when they burned the private house of President Madero. located at Berlin and Liverpool streets. It was a handsome structure and since the incumbency of Madero had become one of the show places of the capital. The rebels had driven a detachment of federals In retreat along Barcelona street. They emerged on Liverpool street, the rebels at their heels. House Is Burned. Shouting and firing at the fleeing soldiers, the rebels crowded into the aristocratic quarter and the sight of Madero's house inspired the idea of its destruction. Only servants had occu pied the house since the members of the President's family took refuge In the Japanese legation. The third secretary of the American t Concluded on Paare BULAIR REPORTED TAKEN BY ALLIES TTJTtKISH POSITION GROWING MORE PRECARIOUS. Gallipoll Armies Going to Pieces and Chaos Is Said to Prewall at Tchatalja. LONDON, Feb. 15. An uncensored Constantinople disnatch to the Chron icle reports that the Bulair line of for tifications was captured by the allies Tuesday. According to this account the Turk ish fleet, operating from the Dardan elles, was assisting to repel the Bul garian attack. The Bulgarians feigned a sudden retreat and were followed by the Turks. The Turkish warships, not realizing the situation, continued their bombardment and inflicted heavy loss es on their own men. The Greek fleet in the Gulf of Saros supported the Bulgarians, who faced about, drove home their auacn hh thereby captured the forts. Thirteen thousands Greeks landed on (h. A.cr.an enast at Alvaith on Mon day. The Turkish position is consid ered precarious all along tne line. The capture of Bulair has not been confirmed from other sources. A Dar danelles dispatch to the Daily Mall, dated Tuesday, describes a similar Bul garian ruse as having occurred on the previous Friday, with the result that the Bulgarian batteries on the slope of the Kurudagh opened a terrific shrap nel fire. The Turks fled back to the shelter of the Bulair enterenchments with a loss of 3000 killed and wounded. The correspondent of the Daily News says that the Gallipoll armies are go ing to pieces exactly Jlke Abdullah Pasha's host at Lule Burgas and that chaos reigns at Tchatalja.

About TO square inches of Anderson's body has been covered by the donated cuticle and there is as much more ex posed surface to cover. The physician says Anderson's chanco for recovering Is good. MULE CARRIAGES REJECTED Brl-tnw Thinks Army Officers TTse Autos Too Freely. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Senator Bristow declared the way Army offi cers "flitted about Washington In Gov ernment automobiles" was "scandal ous" when the Army appropriation bill came up today, and offered an amend ment to limit Army vehicles here to those drawn by mules, or motor trucks.

In continuation of his de scription of the work and experiences of the British Antarctic expedition of 1910, Commander Evans gives the fol lowing further particulars of the do ings of Lieutenant Campbell's northern party. While awaiting the ship in Febru ary cold blizzards from the plateau were experienced, which caused the seals to take to the sea earlier than usual, the seals having an objection to the cold Autumn gales. Thus on March L when Lieutenant Campbell de cided that the Winter would have to be faced and that it would be neces sary to preparo provisions for the Win ter very few seals were to be seen. By March 20 the igloo, although unfin ished, afforded fairly comfortable shel ter. The igloo was constructed by dig ging a deep trench and with ice axes cutting a chamber at the end of this measuring 13 feet by nine. The trench was afterwards roofed In with Beal skins and snow, forming a passage. Doors were formed by sacks and by having three of these the party was able to keep the temperature In the living-room above zero. (iale Tears Tent to Ribbons. The igloo afforded shelter just in time, for Levlck's tent had collapsed in a terrific gale on the 19th, three of the poles breaking and the tent blow ing to ribbons. After lying under the ruins all day Levlck's party made Its way to Campbell's camp, about a mile away, arriving there in a frost-bitten and exhausted condition. They were revived by hoosh and slept that night two in a sleeping bag, a most com fortable experience.

There are rumors of a breach between President-elect Wilson and William Jennings Bryan, which la said, to be wider than when Colonel E. M. House, a warm personal friend of both, left for Florida to talk with the Nebraskan. The talk was of no avail. Colonel House has returned with Bryan's suggestions for the Cabinet and the suggestions are all out of harmony with the views of Wilson. Colonel House has been with the President-elect the past two days and has accomplished nothing in the way of promoting peace. The slates of the two leaders ! not jibe. The situation in New York enters strongly into the question. By those who profess to know U is said there is not a chance that National Committee Chairman McCombs will go Into Wil son's Cabinet.

EDEN SWALLOWED IN PACIFIC Garden Declared Part of Con tinent Lost by Deluge. PEOPLE ONCE AT PEACE Dr. Hallock bays Early Community Dwelt in Harmony, Built Good Roads and Also Had Air ships to Move About In. j CONCLUSIONS PROF. HALLOCK DRAWS AS TO CAIN'S EARLY RESIDENCE IN OREGON. People were nomadic until Cain built Enoch, located by archaeolo gists near Klamath, Or., then the terminal of the ancient trans-Pacific route from the since submerged continent of Tula. Actual discoveries on pacific Coast consist of stone, bone and a few nieta: tools at various levels. There are also traces of airships, which were used in that day. Gold was brought up from the South, prob ably from California. Onyxes "were probably the agates found in great quantities even today." North America was the "ultima Thule" of the autedlluvlan epoch. Cain himself was born outside the garden, which vii In Eden, after the expulsion. Eden was located in a "continental region" to the eastward of where Adam and Eve were born, the Noachian deluge having obliterated trace of it. Professor Hallock saya the peaks of Polynesia indicate that the continent of Tula was in the Pa cific Ocean. The Philippines are among the remnants of that continent. The sinking of the continent of Tula caused all the southern portion of what is now South America to bulge from the ocean. Missouri became a center of popu lation before the climax of the glacial period. After the OrWs of thia period people moved north, as the ground became bare, reoccupylng the region of the Great Lakes, which had been populous In the Intcr-glaclal period. BOSTON'. Feb. 14. (Special.) Tho re port of Dr. Charles Hallock, the fumoua archaeologist, who concludes from re cent researches that Cain, son of Adam founded a city before the flood at th point near where Klamath. Or., now stands, has drawn many investigators to the Peabody Museum, of Harvard, where it has been filed. Dr. Hallock makes a number of highly interesting statements, but his report, which fol lows here, is vague as to authorities, therefor. BT CHAHI.E3 IIALI.OCK. PH. D. Xnrth America (the Biblical Land of x-nrt lvincr to the "eastward of Eden") was a comparatively old country when Cain was evicted and migrated tniinaj jftor his unfortunate escapade wltl his younger brother, Abel, though its population was presumably sparse and scattered, being chiefly nomadic, pas toral and agricultural. Inasmuch as there were no aggregations of people until Cain built Enoch, "the first city" (Genesis iv. 17). There he took a wife. Settlement Located In Oregon. This particular settlement is lo- cated by Biblical archaeologists In Ore gon, near Klamath, the terminal of the ancient trans-Pacific route from Tuba (the submerged continent in Noah's day), and it is said that its re mains have been traced and Identified. Wherever It was, It was inferentlally the original birthplace of allegorical Adam "from whence he was taken" (Genesis 111:23) when the Lord estab lished him In the Garden of Eden in Tula. Many of the residents of Enoch wcr presumably refugees from Tula at the time of the Noachian deluge. The region round about Enoch was known through tradition as the Land of Peace, or the Happy Nation, which was a communal settlement presided over by Namah. granddaughter of Lantech by his first wife. Zlllah. and sister of Tubal-caln. the first artificer of bronze and lion (Genesis Iv:22). Up to this period thess metals had not come into use in many parts of the world. Over-sea Ronte Most Probable. Ethnologists have laid much stress upon the Bering Strait route of migra tion to account for the first settlement In North America by emigrants from Asia. It will be obvious that colo nists by this route must have been of comparatively recent date (but before the Christian era), because the distri bution of the continental areas, the geographical lay of the land, made the over-sea route via the Hawaiian Islands much the shortest. The stupendous preclpatlon of snow which followed the canting of th earth's axis by reason of the transfer and preponderance of great weight, causing the precession of the equi noxes and seasonal changes, drove the population of the higher latitudes southward, more or less precipitately, according to the varying rigor of th climate the accumulation of the snow pack, and isothermal lines, until they reached the limit of the ice sheet, about the latitude of St. Louis.
