C —A nother inves­ tigation of the departm ent of agricul­ ture involving otders of Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe and em­ bracing charges of suppressed reports and influence of land speculators over governm ent officials, is to be in stitu t­ ed by the house com mittee on expend­ itures in the A gricultural d ep artm en t Troubles relatin g to exploitation of Florida everglade lands, millions of acres of which have been sold throughout the country by syndicates, started before the house com mittee as a result of the summary dismissal from government service by Secretary Wilson of C. G. Elliott, chief engineer of the drainage division of the dep art­ ment, and A. D. Morehouse, assistant engineer, and the suspension of F. E. Singleton, an accountant, on a techni­ cal charge of transference of public landa. R epresentatives Clark, of Florida, and Bathrick, of Ohio, who have in­ stigated the investigation, charged th a t officials of the departm ent of agriculture had been influenced by Florida everglade land promoters in the suppression of a report on the con­ dition of the land made by the drain­ age d epartm en t; th a t Chief Engineer E lliott was threatened by agents of the land prom oters unless he would re­ vise a circular le tte r to the house which did not contain laudatory refer­ ences to the lands they were selling; th a t upon his refusal the circular and a subsequent fu ller report w ere sup­ pressed by the order of Secretary W il­ son and th a t la ter Engineers E lliott and Morehouse were removed from office. Solicitor McCabe, before th e house com mittee, denied the dism issal of the departm ent officials was in any way caused by the Florida land case and asserted th a t the action was taken following charges th a t the dismissed men had m isapplied funds. W ashington, D. C. — D iplomatic com plications have arisen between the sta te of Texas and the U nited S tates governm ent, on one hand, and the Mexican governm ent on the other, which tem porarily, a t least, will not allow Mexico to move any troops over A m erican te rrito ry in connection with her revolutionary disturbances. S ecretary of S tate Knox made fu r­ th er inquiry from Mexico through the A m erican embassy a t Mexico City asking the specific purpose of the m il­ itary expedition for which permission is sought to travel tfrom E agle Pass, Texas, to El Paso, Texas, in order th a t points in N orthern Mexico, to which the rebels have cut international railroad communication, may be reached. Governor Colquitt, of Texas, pointed out to the S tate departm ent in his m essage th a t residents of El Paso were apprehensive th a t rebels a t Juarez m ight resist the entry of Mexican troops from American te rrito ry and p recip itate a battle endangering A m erican lives and property. S ecretary Knox assured Governor Colquitt th a t no permission would be granted until the m atter had been studied carefully, and indications were th a t it yould be adjusted in a leisure­ ly, diplom atic manner.

Call to Arms Is Sounded— Rebel Bands Active— Forces Closing In On Juarez, El Paso, Tex. — Mexico is to be crushed under the m ilitary force of the U nited S tates and is to lose its identity as a world power. This is the message of A cting Governor Au- relance Gonzales to th e people of Mex­ ico and his n ative sta te of Chihuahua. The message was telegraphed to all the Je fe politicos o f the state, and created a sensation among the Mex­ ican and American population of the state. The m obilation o f the American irm y means the invasion of Mexico, Governor Gonzales says in his fire­ brand message. “ The hand of the oppressor is press­ ing hard upon your b ro w ,” he contin­ ued, “ and will brand all tru e Mexi­ cans as slaves unless they resist the foreign power. The attitu d e of the U nited S tates tow ard Mexico is one of a lordly m aster tow ard an abject slave. “ The manhood of Mexico demands its resistance by all possible means. Mexico has lost, or is losing, its iden­ tity as a nation am ong nations. The Americans are attem p tin g to control the business affairs, the politics and the economics of Mexico. Unless re­ sistance is shown a t once, Mexico will be b ut a dependency of the U nited S ta te s .” The proclamation am ounts to a call to arm s to resist an A m erican invas­ ion of Mexico and has caused con­ stern atio n here as well as across the border. Colonel Antonio Rojas, at the head of 500 men, now is on his way tow ard Ju arez to attack the city, acording to a report received in Ju arez from San Antonio, w est of Chihuahua. In view of th e report th a t R ojas would demand the surrender of Chihuahua in five days, the report is not generally cred­ ited. Braulio Hernandez, w ith a force of 300 rebels, is reported operating south of Chihuahua, along th e line of the Mexican Central, which has abandoned tem porarily its efforts to m ake repairs betw een Chihuahua and Torreon. W R E C K O F M A IN E F L O A T S . W ashington, D. C.— P resident T a ft and his cabinet have turned a scru tin ­ izing eye toward Mexico. Officials before the president seriously ques­ tioned the loyalty of General Pascual Orozco to the Mexican federal govern­ m ent and intim ated th a t the present conditions in the sta te of Chihuahua, bordering on Texas, m ight develop in­ to a movement of secession, estab lish ­ ing an independent republic in the N orth. The president and his official fam ily discussed precautionary measures, and the W ar departm ent [then sent addi­ tional orders to arm y posts throughout the country to be ready for a possible m obilization. The departm ent of justice has in­ structed its agents to exercise all pos­ sible vigilance in enforcing n eu trality , w hile the S tate departm ent has asked for quick reports from consular agents o f any danger in the in terio r to A m er­ icans or th eir interests. A fte r the cabinet m eeting, the pres­ ident professed not to be alarm ed by th e situation. It was adm itted in o ffc'al circles th a t the separation of C hihuahua from the rest of Mexico would create a situation different, in m any respects, from those th a t e x ist­ ed during the la st rebellion.

D uluth, Minn.—The congestion of traffic on the Canadian railroads, w hich resulted in sw eeping reduction of fre ig h t rates to perm it Canadian g rain to come to the Am erican head of the lake for elevating and storage, is more serious than a t any tim e since its inception, according to news re ­ ceived here from P o rt A rthur, Ont. The news tells of 3,500 cars already billed to P o rt W illiam over the Cana­ dian N orthern which cannot be moved. T here is no place to store grain when it arriv es a t P ort W illiam . T h irty m illion bushels are frozen on the ground or in W estern elevators. In addition, there are 1,000 cars of g rain on track s betw een W innipeg and P o rt A rthur, m aking 4,500 cars on the Canadian N orthern alone. The Canadian Pacific has reduced the num ber of em pty cars th a t are de­ livered daily to elevators at the Cana­ dian head of the lakes, on the theory th a t it is useless to load cars when they cannot be hauled to destinations.
