' MEXICO CITY. Dec. 3. Presi
dent Diaz, after reading the dispatch
from Chlbuahua in which was re
lated the appointment by him of a
commission to treat with the revo
lutionary leaders, told an Associated
Press representative that he had ap
pointed no such commission or writ
ten any letter of the nature referred
to.
CHIHUAHUA. Mex., Dec S. While the
peace commissioners were conferring with
the revolutlQjitsts along the railroad lino
today, 800 OJJpips under General Navarro
letf here for the purpose of subduing the
Insurrectos In the mountains adjacent.
Reinforcements arrived here from the
City of Mexico to garrison this city.
The commission telegraphed today from
San Isldro that the members would pro
ceed to Guerrero to treat with revolu
tionist bodies there.
Unconfirmed reports have been rgcelved
here that Guerrero had been attacked to
day.
The departure of troops on the heels
of the commission is believed to indicate
that that body carries a message more in
the nature of an ultimatum than an olive
branch. It is believed here that the pro-
eeedlngs will develop a battle by Monday
or Tuesday.
The letter- from the President was
received today naming the following as
commissioners:
Judge Jose M. Danders. Dr. Garcia
Cardenas and Senors Amador and San
tiago Gonzales.
The commissioners, among other things.
will endeavor to ascertain Just what
grievances afflict the revolutionists.
Terms of peace wi 11 be discussed and a
report made to the national capital.
These Insurgents will be given to under
stand that if they persist in bearing arms
against the government they will be
given a lesson which will leave the State
of Chihuahua in peace for many years.
The defeat of a detachment of govern
ment troops at Pederuales, on Tuesday,
is admitted by those In authority here.
According to the most consistent Infor
mation, the government troops who met
defeat were a band of 150 who left the
train at San Andreas nearly two weeks
ago, when the coaches were attacked by
revolutionists. They escaped at that time
and up to last Tuesday had been moving
west, gaining food and water In a pre
carious fashion.
Hunger, it is said, drove them to Pader-
nallcs, where Insurrectos were known to
be. The revolutionists-, by a Ionge range
fire, drew them close to the village,
where the former attacked In force, fir
ing from roofs and windows. The two
officers at their head were killed as were
number of soldiers, reported anywhere
from nine to 20. Several prisoners were
captured and are said to have followed
the Latin-American custom of Joining the
enemy.
The Associated Press correspondent un
derstood that about 50 of the soldiers
made good their retreat and were en
deavoring to return to Chihuahua.
The Governor confirmed the report that
reinforcements are expected here daily
to garrison the town while the force of
800 troops now here proceeds along the
Mexican & Northwestern Railway in an
attempt to pacify the disaffected district.

BOSTON". Mass., Dec. 3. (Special.)
After a meteoric career of several years
In high finance, Robert E. Davis, the
boy stock broker, Is rnlesing from Bos
ton. Simultaneous with his vanishing a
month ago, sums estimated at from J300,

worth of atocka from a .woman. Davis
Is 23. one of the youngest and at one
time the most succesaful man of affairs.
on State etreet.
Scores of firms In the financial district,
and . brokers are losers through the
speculains of Davis. His acquaintance
ship consisted of the best class of
bankers. He counted hla friends in. the
Back Bay and Brookllne districts by
hundreds. The disposition of the money
is one of the mysteries of the case. A
thorough Investigation - has been made
throughout the Boston financial district
and no trace of speculation on the
young man's part, save for legitimate
deals Involving perhaps 150,000 can b
found.
Another victim was Harry Lauder,
Scotch comedian. Davie entertained
Lauder at his home in Brookllnf at
two banquets. At one of these ban
quets many prominent people were
present to do honor to the comedian.
The alleged separation of Lauder from
his funds took place at the second din
ner. The comedian is a cautious in
vestor, and it had been his boast for
years that man who, could trim him
did not exist.

Leads All Except Oklahoma in
Rapidity of Growth Settlers j '
In Country Swell Totals. ;
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
Ington, Dec. 3. Oregon has a population
of 672,765, as shown by the 13th census,
announced today. The population ten
years ago was 413,536. The increase in
the past ten years, therefore, has been
62.7 per cent. The population In 1880
was 313,767. The increase in 20 years
has been 114 per cent.
The Census Bureau's figures, announced
this afternoon, indicate that Oregon will
be entitled to another Representative
in Congress two years hence, even If the
ratio of representation Is Increased, in
accordance with custom. The announce
ment of the population of Idaho, also
made today, indicates that that state
also will gain one Representative.
The figures show that there are In
Multnomah County, outside of Portland,
19,047 persons. The population of the
county is given as 226,261, the population
of Portland having been announced pre
viously as 207,214. The whole county
shows an Increase of 123,094. The coun
ty has more than doubled its population
In the past ten years. It bad a popula
tion of only 4150 In 1860, the first year
in which there is a record of the coun
ty's people.
The state In 1850, when the first cen
sus was taken, had a population of 13,
294. The state has an area of 96,030
square miles, of which 1470 square miles
are water surface.
The figures of the bureau show that .
Idaho, which is credited with a total
population of 325,598, as compared with
161,272 in 1900, a gain of 101.9 per cent,
has a greater Increase in the past ten
years than any other state in the Union
thus far announced, except Oklahoma.
