" It was learned Madero arranged for his flight a day in advance. and his resignation was placed in the hands of the British Ambassador to be announced when he was safely out of the 'city. Madero and his figmin boarded a foreign warship Vera Cruz some time during the night. The people of the city flocked 'into the streets and shouted for de la Barra. It became kn ;wn that once during Thursday night’s bat- tle Madero had given up the strug- gle and had secretly gone to a. train to leave the city, but later returned to the palace. The news of the resignations t-f Madero and Hernandez was given out at the British Legation shortly after 7 o’clock. De la Barra had taken refuge at the negation (-11 Thursday after Madero angrily spurned his offer to mediate. It is taken as a fact that the Br”- ish Minister Francis W. Strong used his influence to end the civil war. The envoy of Great Britain had spoken his mind plainly to Ma- dero and to Lescurain, the Fore- ign Minister, on several occasions. It is said that the British Minister used the strongest possible argu- ments to. induce Madero to retire from an impossible position, and that the Legation insisted on de la Barra as provisional President. -â€"â€"-A Fighting Resuined.

A despatch from Elk Lake, Ont., says: The third heavy fire in the history of Elk Lake started on Sat- urday morning at 6 o’clock, over the I kitchen of the Matabanick Hotel. The spread of the fire was so rapid that many inmates barely escaped. Three men, two being boarders, Ed. O’Keefe and Robert savage as'on any other day of the :Sovie, who failed to awake, and week’s battle. The American Emâ€" bassy again came directly within the line of fire, and the American Ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson, had a narrow escape from a. rifle bullet which whistled close to his head within the Embassy.

He declared that he was still able to dominate nlstlco signed at 2 o'clock Sunday he would and that, given time, crush the rebel forces. W IN DESPERATE PLIGIIT. y.â€" Turkish Troops at Gallipoli Unable to Get Supplies. A despatch from London 'says: special despatches reaching London from Constanti- nople all confirm fthe utter failure of Enver Bey, the Turkish chief of staff, to land troops on. the coast of the Sea. of Marmora. His forces, the despatches say, are now hud- dled at Galli-poli, where they are unable to secure supplies. ‘ __â€"KI_____ AS TO FLAVOR. .â€" Fonnd Her Favorite Again. A bright young lady tells how she came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee: “My 'health had been very poor for several years,” she says. “I oved coffee and drank it for break- fast, but only learned by accident, as it were, that it was the cause of the constant, dreadful head- aches from which I suffered every day, and of the nervousness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that every- thing I ate gave me acute pain. (Tea is just as injurious, because it fontains caffeine, the same drag ound in coffee.) ‘ “My condition finally got so seri- ous that I was advised by my doc- tor to go to a hospital. There they ave me what I supposed was cof- so, and I thought it was the best I ever drank, but I have since learned it was Postum. I gained rapidly and came home in four weeks. . "Somehow the coffee we used at home didn’t taste right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank in the hospital, and all brought back the dreadful headaches and the ‘sick-allâ€"over’ feeling. ' “One day I got: a package of Postum and the first taste of it I took, I said, ‘that’s the good coffee we had in the hospital 1’ I have drank it ever since, and eat Grape- Nuts for my breakfast. I have no more headaches, and feel better than I have for years.” Name 'ven upon request. Read the mous little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. .“There's a reason." ' Postum now comes in concen- trated, powder form, called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring 0. level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there’s no waste; and the flavor is always uniform. Sold grocers-â€" 4.5 to 60-cup tin 30 cts., 90 to 100- cup tin 50 cts. .

Skating Party and Ends His Life. ‘ A despatch from Brantford says: Ewart Ruthbun, 16 years old, a boy employed by F. Casner in the Vilâ€" lage of Harley, committed suicide on Thursday night by shooting with a shotgun. He had just returned from a skating party and retired to the barn, when a shot was heard. The discharge had pierced his heart. His mother resides in the Northwest; and the lad had at times been subject to brooding spells.

Found Scott’s Tent, in Which Were the Bodies of Scott, ‘Wilson and Bowers A despatch New Zealaud, says : ThoTerraNova, of further work. the vessel which took Captain Rob- ert F. Scott to the Antarctic on his .way to the South Pole, and which returned there to fetch him back, but instead brought the news of his and his companions’ heroic death, arrived in this port on Wednesday morning. Commander Evans said that. reckoning by the progress of the supporting parties, Captain Scott should have returned to Hut Point by March 17. Regarding the shortage of fuel, he said that Scott from Christchurch, mostly frost-bitten and incapable Garrard collapsed through overnstrained heart. His companion was also sick, and it was impossible to communicate with Capo Evans, ship having left March 4, and open sea lying between At- kinson and Koohane. Only two men slodged out to Corner Camp to render any help that might be wanted by southern party. They fought their way out to Corner Camp against the unusually severe weather, and, realizing they could be of no assistance, were forced to had enough fuel to last a month return to Hut Point after depoting beyond the date of his expected re- turn. The Terra Nova brought every written record of the southern party, including the private diar- ies, which will be handed to the reâ€" latives of the dead explorers. Cap- tain Scott kept a daily record unâ€" til March 24, and spent the last day in writing his message to the pub- lic. Commander Evans will oom- plete Captain Scott’s story for pub- lication. _ All on board the Terra Nova look to be in good health, and bear no outward signs of the hardships they have undergone. ‘ All Details Will Be Given. A despatch from London says : In reply to a cabl-egram from the edi- tor of The Daily Chronicle inform- ing him of that paper’s donation of £2,000 to the Scott memorial fund and asking for further news of the expedition, Commander Evans begs to be excused from “going into the details, which may be painful in SOME OF THE MEN WITH SCOTT EXPEDITION .l- regard to the end of our beloved one week’s pro-visions. “On October 30,” the official re- port says, “a large party under Atkinson, well provisioned, set out. It divided into two sections, and. one of them, under Wright, the Toronto man, found Scott’s tent, in which were the bodies of Scott, Wil~ son and Bowers.” Evaporation of Oil. The Christchurch correspondent of the London Daily Mail tele- graphs an interview with Lieut. Evans, in which the commander re- fused to be drawn into a discussion of what he called “wicked rumors and conjectures.” He denied the stories of dissensions, and was em- phatic in his. statement that the supporting party on their way back after having bade farewell to Cap- tain Scott and his comrades on their way to the pole did not meddle with the oil. “There was evaporation,” he said, “owing to the leather washers of the cans, and as the supplies were out so fine, this made a considerable shortage.” Lieut. Evans declared that the rumors that Seaman Evans had gone insane were cruel, scandalous and baseless, adding that he be- haved admirably. Capt. Scott, Commanded Evans said, left in- structions that no search parties should leave the base to seek him. He added that it was beyond hu- man possibility for the base party to have saved Capt. Scott and his comrades. Great Continents Once Joined. The following are extracts from Lieut. Evans’ story of the work ac- complished by the Scott exploring expedition : “The general geological work done by the three parties, souh~ ern, w'estern and northern, is like- ly to proveof great value, especi- ally as furnishing evidence relative to a former connection betwem Australasia and South America through the Antarctic Continent.” After describing the collectiOn of fossil plants, coal, corals of primi- tive form, the writer continues:_ “The notes of the geologists are necessarily not at present avail- able.

Perhaps now you can rea- lize why the official telegram was so short. Sure-1y its painful brev- ity needs no defence.” What Official Report Said. In connection» with the foregoing it is interesting to note that Lieut. Evans, in his oflicial report, says in part: 1 “Before Terra Nova left for New Zealand last March Surgeon At- kinson, who had been left in charge of the western party until Scott’s return, des atchcd Garrard and Demetri, dog riven, with two deg teams to assist the southern party, whose return to Hut Point was expected about March 10, 1912. Atkinson would have accompanied this party, but was kept back in medical charge of Lieut.

King George, the members of the Cab- inet and the heads of the navy and army and other national services shared in a stately ceremony in which also the nations of the world associated themselves with Great Britain through their Ambassadors. The vast cathedral of St. Paul, which is the resting-place of Nelson and many other great dead whose names are on Great Britain’s hero roll, was manifestly the fittest place for the lofty rites to Captain Scott and comrades.
