Francisco Carbajal was then appointed President, and took the oath of office in the joint ses- sion of Deputies and Senators. Huerta's resignation was submit- ted through the Department of Foreign Relations. It was read in the House and was greeted with cries of "Viva Huerta!" It was then referred to the joint commit- tees of Gobernacion. After brief consideration, the committee re- ported, accepting the resignation in the following terms: "Article 1. We accept the resig- nation presented by General Vic- toriano Huerta as President of the Mexican United States. "Article 2. We call Licentiate Francisco . Carbajal, Minister of Foreign Relations, to assume the Presidency." President Carbajal proceeded to the national palace under an escort of Presidential guards, and all along the way was greeted with tumultous cheering. After the acceptance of Huerta's resignation a Commission was ap- pointed by the President of the Chamber to escort Senor Carbajal to the floor of the House. Very shortly Senor Carbajal appeared in front of the Chamber, passing through files of soldiers. He enter- ed, and as he walked to the plat- form the Deputies stood. Speak.- r Manuel Mercado then administered the oath. The new Executive again passed through double files of troops as he proceeded, to the na- tional palace. The iitary band played the national uymn, while the troops presented arms and ren- dered Presidential honors. Shortly after 8 o'clock on Wed- nesday night General Huerta, ac- companied by a. few friends, enter- ed the French cafe -which he has been in the habit of visiting several times daily for the past year or more, and took his usual place near the entrance. An immense crowd followed the ex-President to the cafe, shouting "Vivas" for him. Many shook him bv the hand, while others embraced him, and several kissed, him on the cheek. The stern old soldier was over- come and tears filled his eyes. ' He raised his glass and said : "This will be my last toast in my favorite resort, and I drink to the new President of Mexico." Gets Away From Villa's Clutches. A despatch from Juarez, Mexico, says: "I would much prefer that Huerta had remained in the Pre- sidential chair or in Mexico City until we could get our hands on him," General Villa said on Wed- nesday in Juarez, when he learned of Huerta's resignation. "That is the only comment I care to make on the subject," he added. "I am a soldier of ray country, and do not care to express my opinion of the traitor's resignation." t'HIIJ) A IK .MATCH HKADS.

THE CROP IN SASKATCHEWAN Conditions are Very Poor in Some Places, But Generally are Excellent - A despatch from Heginn, Sask., says : The crop report of the Sas- katchewan Department of Agricul- ture, hased on replies received by telegraph to inquiries as to the conditions on July 11, state* that condition)) at the moment justify th. statement that seldom has the crop within one Province ghown such excellence on the one hand and such poor conditioim on the other. Fortunately the area of the crop in which conditions are excel- lent greatly exceeds that in which they are poor. The outlook at the moment is for seventy-five per cent, of an average crop. Conditions have been improved recently by a fairly general rain on July H and a considerable number of loc*l showers. Seldom have the crops been called upon to withstand a long period of intense and con- tinuous heat with few and loc-al rains as have most of the crops in the western and central parts of the Province during the period from June 30 to July 14. Without the slightest doubt the summer fal- low that has been early and deeply plowed and has also received suf- ficient subsequent cultivation, has justified itself once more, and will prove to be the sheet-anchor ol those farmers in the drier districts that had prepared one. In many of the newer districts, of course, settlement is almost too new for this form of preparation to be as general as it must become if agri- culture is to be successfully and permanently, practised in those dis- trict*.

VILLAGE WIPED OUT, Between Two and Three Hundred People Homeless. A despatch from Cochrane, Ont., says : Between two and three hun- Ired people were rendered home- <-ss as the result of the destruction >y fire of the little Town of Hearst, 134 miles west of here. They all tell stories of three days' and nighU' ight with fire, nothing but a bucket irigade being available. Several imes they thought that the fire had been conquered, but each time it sprang up again and a weary fight was resumed. The wind almost blew a cyclone, and men who had been through the Porcupine fire be- gan to make for the railway tracks, fearing for their lives. Finally it got beyond all control, and every- one took refuge on the Transcon- tinental Railway tracks. Mr. M. J O'Brien, of the firm of "O'Brien, McDougall and O'Gorman, who have their construction headquar- ters at Hearst, took all homeless people to his camps at Pit 7, where they were fed and the women and children housed. They passed the night and next day there until the relief train arrived in the midst of smoke and flame and torrid heat. Hearst is a town of between six and eight hundred inhabitants m t- \y foreigners. Most of the dwellings were built of wood and a short time ago. There are also, however, the divisional offices of the Transcontin- ental Railway, a large cement round house, the offices of M. J. O'Brien, the contractor for that section of the railroad, and a large house occupied by a brother of Mr. O'Brien, who was in charge of the work. A short time ago a fire burn- ed one section of Hearst. WASHINGTON AMUSED. Entry of IMIIon Into the I nited States Not Relished.
