President Madero Will Send His Brother to Take Command
of the Federal Troops at Torreon, Where the Government
Will Make a Determined St and- If Whipped There the
Road Will Be Open for Rebels to March on the Capital, and
This Would Mean the End of Madero's ReignForeigners

Mexico City, April 1. Addressing
a Joint session of congress here to
day, President Francisco I. Madero
announced his determination to send
hia brother, Gustavo, to Torreon to
take command of the federal forces
concentrated there. Government of
ficiate believe that Mexico's fate will
figure largely in the outcome of the
battle at Torreon, as a rebel victory
will mean an attack on the capital.
More than 1200 Americans here
have organized to defend themselves
should necessity arise.
The foreign element believes that
the rebels will carry their revolu
tion to a successful conclusion and
they are prepared for any emer
gency. General Zapata in command of the
revolutionary forces south of here
today Is planning an attack "on Pue
bla. The congress which assembled to
day marks the second meeting1 of the
legislative body since Madero as
sumed the reigns of government.

President Madero's message Is "ex
pected to be heard tomorrow. Num
erous measures intended to bring
peace to the nation are Incorporated
Jin the Internment. Among the most
important Is a land law which calls
for the distribution of much valua
ble land to the people, entailing the
expenditure, of millions. The pro
gressive element Is backing the plan
for the land distribution, but the in
dependents are opposed to the
scheme.
The message also proposes an In
crease for the army. This will also
be opposed by the independents who
are composed for the most part of
senators favorable to the Diaz reg
ime. The independents, It Is report
ed, expect to overthrow the Madero
government by blocking the most Im
portant of President Madero's recom
mendation. The most important matter to be
passed upon first by congress la the
question of the legality of Vice-President
Suarez's election.

SAN DIEGO

IN CONTROL
onitsd muss IJB1BSO Willi.)
San Diego, Cal April 1. Street
speaking In San Diego Is at an end,
at least for the present, according to
all Indications today. The police are
rigidly enforcing the "move on" law,
and as soon as crowds gather on the
streets they are immediately dis
persed, whether inside of the "con
gested district" or not. The police
say that they have won their fight
and that the I. W. W's are rapidly
leaving town.
A man giving the name of Daggett,
who said he was an anarchist, was
told to leave town following the fu
neral of Michael Hoy, the aged I. W.
W.r who died after being Imprisoned
in the city Jail. A big throng attend
ed the funeral wearing red badges.
Daggett, who carried a red flag, was
taken In tow by the police, and, after
being questioned, was warned to leave
town.
Sailors from the cruiser Maryland
are threatening to make trouble for
the I. W. W's on account of the lat
ter's alleged disrespect for the flag.

TE!J YEAR

PRESIDED!
Chinese President Suggests
Term Should Be for Ten
Years Instead, of Seven,
Which Has Been Suggested.
CONVENTION TO DECIDE
Yuan Sees Good Points in Both the
United States and French System
and Would Blend Both, and Modify
Them to Suit China's Purpose, and
Adapt Them to Oriental Needs and
Customs.
Pekln, April 1. The Chinese presi
dent's term of office will be 10 years,
If Yuan Shi Kal has his way. The
, republicans originally suggested
seven years, but Yuan says the coun
try ought not to be disturbed by an
election so often. He argues, too,
.that the first man elected should be
given time enough to get things thor
oughly settled before he has to give
way to a successor.
Yuan also proposes that the large
provinces be entitled to eight votes In
I electoral representation, the medium
, ones to six and the smaller ones to
four. He would count Inner and Out
er MngnoHa as two separate large
provinces, Thibet as a medium and
the Mohammedan district as a small
one.
Yuan sees good points In both the
i United Slates mid French constitu
tions, and would blend them to suit
China's mirpose, with Important mod
ifications to adopt them to Orlentnl
needs.
Of course, the national convention
will decide all these points, but Yuan
will undoubtedly have more to say on
the matter than any other single in
dividual, and may conipletel domin
ate the gathering.

WATERS OF
miEL'ZIE
WILL USE IT TO FURNISH ELEC
TRICAL POWER FOR ITS VAL
LEY LINES, AND STAY ELECTRI
FY THE MAIN LINES.
The filing of an application with
State Engineer Lewis today by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
for the appropriation ot the waters of
the McKenzie river for power pur
poses is taken In railroad circles here
as positive evidence that this com
pany Is making the most extensive
preparations for looking to the win
ning of the fight which It Is waging
against the Hill lines for supremacy
In Oregon.
Announcement was made months
ago that this company Intended elec
trifying its West Side line, and pos
sibly Its main line, and the state en
gineer and railroad men today give it
as their opinion that this Is the pur
pose for which the power is desired.
The company In Ub application aBks
for the appropriation of 400 cubic
feet per second. The water Is to be
diverted from Clear Lake, and will he
conducted through a canal iVt miles
In. length. This will make It pos.alblo
to use a fall of 7!)5 feet and will gen
erate 3(1, 13G horse power, making the
power project the second largest In
the Btate. The water stored will cov
er an area of 12,000 acres, and the
dam be 1 feet high and cost $St,000.
The coBt of the total project Is fixed
In tho application papers at $1,000,000
According to the engineering de
part tho company has for a number of
years maintained a station nt Clear
Lake for the purpose of studying' the
water power which that body of water
and the McKen.le river were capable
of producing. Incidentally, with the
view of utilizing It, when the time
should become ripe In the slute of
California, the company lms been ex
perimenting with the use of elec
tricity as a motor power for cars,
testing all kinds of equipment.
If the prediction made by railroad
men that the Albany-Kugnne exten
sion of the Oregon . Kloctrlc means
the extension of that line to San
Francisco by 19ir, Is true, then It
would appear that the Southern Pa
cific Is availing Itself of this power
In order to he In a position to com
pete with the Hill line on Its main
line, and will also use the power to
compete with Its lines In the volleys.
