MEXICO FEARED
TWO AMERICANS KILLED
VICIOUS MOB
BY
1 MEXICO CITY IN A TURMOIL
I'uited States Embassador James
Wilson Narrowly Escapes llonib
of Revolutionists
MONTERRY, Mex., Nov. 10.
Mexican revolutionists threw a bomb
at James L. Wilson, United States
ambassador to Mexico, today, but he
escaped unhurt, according to advices
received here from Mexico City.
Tne bomb was thrown during an
antl-Amerlcan demonstration. The
men who threw the explosive were
captured by the police. News reports
from the Mexican capital are closely
censored and details of the rioting
are not yet known.
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 10. Ad
vices received here from Laredo
state that the rioters in Mexico City
attempted the life of United States
Ambassador Wilson.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 10.
That Mexico Is in the hands of an
Incipient revolution whose aim is the
overthrow of the present government
is the statement of the Mexican re
volutionary leaders here today. Mex
ico City according to private advices
they have received, Is really In a
state of siege. Americans are in
great danger, despatches say, and
many of them have barricaded their
homes. The revolutionists claim to
have authentic Information that two
Americans, a school child and a
young man, were killed In the out
breaks yesterday. The burning at
the Btake of Antonio Rodriguez at
Rock Springs, Tex., was not the real
cause of the Mexico City outbreak,
they assert, but was merely seized
upon as opportunity by the revolu
tionists to gather their forces with
out too much Interference from the
police and federal troops. Attacks
on Americans are likely to continue
as a blind. It Is said, until the revol
utionists are in a position to declare
themselves. The situation In the
Mexican captlol Is critical.
Thp rpvolutlonarv loaders here say
that revolutionists in Mexico have
been planning a revolt and that the
plans were already completed and
the leaders only waltlng'for a fav -

was reported at the time, and never
denied by either government, that
Creel came with a plan for settling
the dispute in Nicarugua, and that It
was not accepted by the United
States. Mexico, however, was fully
informed of the attitude of the
United States and knew that Zelaya
was not in favor with the American
government. The fact that he was
allowed to remain for so long in
Mexico was considered as an Indica
tion that Mexico was Inclined to re
gard the decision of the United States
as unfrlendlv.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 The
state department, It is reported, has
received information that a Mexican
college student started the riot by
tearing down an American flag.
The report was made by Consul-
General Arnold Shanklin. Students
paraded the streets shouting "Down
with the Americans," the report
says. They tore down and trampled
upon an American flag, and the mob
threatened the United States con
sulate. NEW HARBOR FOUND
NEAR CRESCENT CITY
That there is nothing new under
the sun is exemplified strikingly by
the the announcement that a new
harbor ha3 been found within two
miles of Crescent City. F. W.
Wooley is the man who claims to
have found this new harbor which
has been overlooked all these years.
Of course the harbor Is not entire
ly In existence at this time, but It can
be easily made Into a deep, land
locked harbor, according to the plans
that Mr. Wooley has made at a very
small expenditure, comparatively.
The new harbor is to be formed out
of two lakes which lie a couple of
miles above Crescent City by means
of digging a canal to connect them
with the sea. Lake St. George, or
Dead lake.as It Is sometimes called,
Is a small body of water about a
mile and a half long by a quarter
to a half mile wide, with a mean
depth of fifty feet. This lake is
about two miles north of Crescent
City and about a mile from the
ocean. Mr. Wooley proposes to dig
a canal 300 feet wide from this lake
to the ocean and then to throw out
jetties on either side of the mouth
of the canal.
This will Involve an expenditure of
about $fi50,000, according to Mr.
Wooley, and will provide about three
miles of water front and dockage
facilities, which will be ample for
several years.
When the new town which Is to
arise at tnis new harbor has reached

JOSEPHINE COUNTY REMAINS DRY
BY II IfERYJLENDER MAJORITY
Full Returns Are Not Yet In, But an
Unofficial Count Shows Dry by
12 to 16
Josephine county remains dry by
the narrowest of margins. In fact,
the margin is so narrow that many
of the wets refuse to concede that
they have lost. The dry majority is
variously estimated at from 12 to 16.
Others even claim that it is smaller
than that.
The uncertainty arises out of the
fact that there is a variance in the
telephonic returns from some of the
outside precincts. The whole mat
ter will be settled definitely tomor
row when the board of canvassers
meets.
Last evening was one of nervous
strain for the adherents of both
sides, as the lead favored now one
side and then the other. It was not
until the election board of West
Grants Pas precinct, the last to fin
ish its work at 11:30, had completed
the count, that there was any cer
tainty at all.
The vote on county prohibition
stood as follow sin the three city
against 156; majority for the drys
wards: North Grants Pass for 257.
101. South Grants Pass for 145,
against 154; majority for the wets 9.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9. "The les
son taught by the election Is clear,"
said Glfford Plnchot today, In com
menting on the showing made
throughout the country by the In
surgent branch of the republican
party. "Taken as a whole, It Is an
overwhelming rebuke for the re
actionaries and an unmistakable sign
of a demand for a kind of progress
for which the Insurgents stand. The
returns I have seen show that not
a single Insurgent candidate for
governor, with two exceptions, fail
ed of election, and that every stand
pat candidate was beaten. The con
gressional elections tell the same
story. The only serious resistance
to the republican was made by
men frankly Insurgents. Where ad
ministration figured In the cam
paign, as In Ohio and New York, the
democrats won. Where the republi
cans were not supported by the ad
ministration, as In California and
Kansas and Wisconsin, the repub
licans won. The people are tired of
government by big corporations for
their own profit. Clearly the people
resent the failure of the republicans
to stand between them and the dom
ination of big Interests, and ihey be
lieve that congress did not keep
faith with them regarding the tariff.

McKlnley, chairman of the republi

tee, Issued the following statement
"When It is considered, us now
seems to be the fact, that barely two
thirds of the republican vote In the
middle western states come to the
polls and the further fact that fac
tlonal differences had aroused an tin
usual degree of bitterness among
the republicans the result nf the Hpo
tlon Is not at all surprising. Every
effort to promote harmony was made
by the congressional committee, In
many Instances with success. The
revision of the tariff has always
proved a disturbing element In
American politics, and this year has
been no exception. Judging by the
light vote polled, the republican
party had the same experience It had
In 1892, two years after the passage
of the McKlnley law. At that time
about 40 per cent of the republican
1 vote In ihe middle west wa loathe
to vote against their party and
not quite dear that the new tariff
mensure was the one wanted. Yes
terday's election Is a repetition of
that time.

iff bill had been a law, the distress

that the iieon returned th" - S

Is my opinion that the repulilt-"

"Present indications are that the

dicate that our pre-election estimates

which have led to the results shown
are well known. It Is a serious re
buke to the republican party for Its
failure to reduce the tariff as the

PORTLAND, Nov. 10. With
