News reached London tc,day, that'v- Capt Robert F. Scott, 1 the : British explorer and four of his-companions perished in, the Ant arctic -while on theirj return' journey from the South pole. Tile dead, In adr dition to Capt. Scott, .are Dr.- E. A. Wilson; Lieut. H. R. Bowers; Capt, 1. E. S. Gates and Petty Officer E. Evans. They reached, their goal on January -ISth, 1912, about a month after Capt. Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian, had planted1 the flag of his country there. Then -they . turned back toward the base they had formed on their out ward journey,. : but .were overtaken, over whelmed and destroyed by a -blizzard. News of the death of the explorers was brought to civilization " today by the captain : of the Terra Nova, the ship, which had taken Scott's expedi tion to the south and which had gone again to bring them back after the ac complishment of their task. A search ing expedition recovered the bodies and records of the party. ' Only, a few brief bulletins were sent today .from the New. Zealand -port of Omaru, N. Z., by- the captain of the Terra' Nova, who related simply the fate of the' party and then proceeded with his vessel for-Lyttleton, where he should arrive Thursday. At a meeting of the Geographical Society this evening . announcement was. ' made -of the disaster which has overtaken Capt. Scott's Antarctic 'ex-' pedltion. Capt: Scotf s party., said. Douglas W Freshfield, vice president of the Geo-. graphical Society, in making the an-nouncement,- ,was" on the return, trip March,; 191211 miles from One Ton depot when a blizzard overwhelmed them. They had suffered greatly from hunger and exposure and the death of Scott Bowers and Wilson was virtual ly due tothat. They died soon 'after the.blizbard swept. down on the party. ' Oates died from exposure a few days later. The death of Evans resulted from a fall. The other members of the expedition are reported to be in good health. ' A searching party dis covered the, bodies of the victims and records some time later. A message of sympathy to the Geographical So ciety from the King was read, in wnich His Majesty said: ' - "I am deeply grieved to hear the very bad news you give me of the loss of Capt. Scott and four of his party just whea we were hoping shortly to welcome them home on their return from their great and arduous under taking. I heartily sympathize with the Royal Geographical Society -in its loss to science and -discovery through the death of these gallant explorers." ' The message from the King was in reply, to ;a - notification of the tidings from the Antarctic transmitted to His Majesty by lkrd Curzon, of Kedleston, president of the society. The regular programme of the meeting was, abandoned and members of ttie -society listened sadly to heart felt trute to the, explorers. After giving .what details he had received, -Vice President. Freshfield re viewed the plans of the expedition, and said: . "No party ever set out better equip ped or better, fitted by gallantry and experience than its members, from Capt' Scott down, to meet the ordina ry perils ofthe poles.. But Antarctic travel would not be what it is a train ing ground for"1 the highest qualities of the British' race if these, perils could - be .avoided. . After an 'expression of sympathy for Mrs; Scott, Tie concluded: "All we can say ' to these men is farewell. -They are a band of-heroes whose names will shine as an example of the endurance which is -the highest form of courage. Capt: Scott will live in our memories as ;the "idea.l of the , English sailor of our, age a man ".intellectually gifted, brave; ' resourceful In all emergencies and .full of scientific zeal, and enthu siasm." ;..

In accordance with this decision, Secretary Meyer ordered the armored cruiser Colorado, now at San Diego, to proceed at once to Mazatlan. Another- vessjel of the Pacific fleet, pro bably the. armored cruiser South Da kota, also at San Diego, will be dis patched to Acapulco on the west coast of Mexico to take up a post to be va cated by the gunboat Denver, which was ordered to Central America. It was also decided to send two bat tleships to the gulf coast of Mexico, but the choice of the ships was left to Admiral Badger, who was imme diately cabled to pick out two ships ready for instant service, and to send one to Vera Cruz and another to Tarn pico. The Colorado, which goes to Mazatlan, is Admiral Southerland's flagship, who, it is practically assured, will go in person to Mexican waters. These orders were given after a cabi net meeting early in the day, followed by conferences between the Secreta-' ries of State and Navy and the army general staff, of which Assistant Sec retary of State Wilson and W. T. S. Doyle, of the Latin-American Bureua, were in communication with Secreta ry Meyer's navai aides regarding the disposition of warships. Though little official information was received by the government from Mexico City, enough . facts were at hand to warrant decision upon a course of action which included ' renewal of the determination to keep "hands off" in Mexico. In announcing . the dis patch of ships to Mexican waters the State- Department issued a statement outlining the position of this govern ment. ; . " - ' . , "The State Department declares it "in dicates no bias on the part of the gov ernment of the United States, as to which side shall gain" the ascendency in -the struggle that has broken out in Mexico City, and responds merely to the. fresh necessity of great caution due to the extreme uncertainty of the new condition forced by the uprising in" the -Mexican' capital, both locally ana in its effect upon conditions throughout Mexico, where American interests are.'

President Franci&co Madero is back in the National Palace, and Sencra Madero is in Cha putepec Castle. The Presi dent's brief disappearance from the palace caused a ru--mor that he had taken to fight, but it appears that he was ab sent only a short time and since then has been spending his time in conferring with General Huerta, Ernesto Ma dero, Minister of Finance, and other ministers. 4- 4- Mexico City, Feb. 10. General Fe lix Diaz, whose bold fight Sunday al most overthrew the Madero adminis tration, held his army in check today. Nor did the scattered government forces dare to attack him in the for tified positions in and about the ar senal. Still hoping that he might attain complete control without further loss of life or destruction of property, General-Diaz, surprised the capital by re fraining from turning his heavy- gun3 upon the National palace. The government's- position has not been materially altered since yester day, although a few of Blanquet's sol diers not more than 500 have ar rived and a small detachment of ru TaHes has ridden into the city. The forces of General Diaz were not ma terially augmented, but the proximity of the Zapatistas and the promised early arrival of rebels from the State oPvera Cruz, under Gaudence DeLa Llave, appear to have strengthened his ' hand. Almost incomprehensible, it has been impossible for residents. of tlie capital to ascertain the truth re garding Ahe . movements of generals whom the government expects to come to the aid of General Huerta, the newly-appointed post commander.; Offi cially it has been announced that both General Blanquet and General Ange les are in the city, but this fis- denied in quarters equally trustworthy.

Makes " x . - Big Cut Trenton, N. J., Feb. 10. The Inter national Harvester Company filed with the Secretary of State here today a certificate reducing the capital of the company from $140,000,000 to $70,000, 000 and changing the name of the cor poration to that of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey. H The certificate was filed as a result of the action taken by the directors of the company in Hoboken today. The reduction of capital of the Inter national Harvester Company is part of the plan for the division of the company into two corporations, -the International Harvester Company . of New Jersey, incorporated today, and the International Harvester Corpora tion, incorporated here on January 27th, last, with a capital stock of $70 -000,000. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 10.-The an nouncement of reduction of capital by the International Harvester Company will not affect the pending, suit of the government against that company; ac cording to Edwin P. Grosvenor, spe cial assistant to the attorney general, who has charge of the case. Mr. Gros venor is here trying the government's criminal suit against the so-called bath tub trust.. . . ( " "Today's action by the company will not affect the government's pending suit against it for the reason that the company retains its alleged monopoly of domestic commerce in harvesting machinery," said Mr. Grosvenor to night.
