' General, Aurelio , Blanquet, minister of- war, and a itrong partisan, went with luerta when he left the city ,!ast night, as did several other 'f his close friends. Before leaving Huerta went to the national palace, where he congratulat d Carbajal. The latter replied he vould do all In hl power for the eoun ry's benefit. Later President Carbajal onferred with the sub-secretaries of he different departments, all tfte lembers of tbe Huerta cabinet having nlgned. A new cabinet. It la expeet 1, will be named during today. The iplomatlc corps has arranged to make ae formal call on the new president D Friday. A significant Incident In connection 1th the change In government, was in announcement that a special com-' ilttee left the capital Inst night for Hays, to arrange with the constitu unallst leaders for a peaceful entry to the capital. Jose Inei Runes and nrlque Bordas Mengel. former mem trs of the chamber of deputies were irluded in .the committee, s The resignation which went 'to con fess late yesterday was accepted by a te of 111 to IT, after a brief dlscua I'.n.

With the r natWrti of Huerta there Is everf eyj ' "nre among Amerlrsn and the fit rtucM hre that an ImmrlluM vement to return to the capital 1 othM- lntr(ir pntnts where abn- lntriwis ar awaiting atten CARBAJAL tlon. That Huerta's removal means per manent peace is doubted tn some quarters, but It generally la believed there will be a subsidence of anti American sentiment, and at least a period of relief from the menace of actual revolution. There also has been during the last few days a noticeable growth In the number of English, Germans and bet ter class Mexicans leaving for the In terior. Many of these are owners or managers of haciendas and mining properties, who are coming back hoping to be able to resume business or to' repair damage to property oc casioned by abandonment weeks ago. They will doubtless find themselves handicapped by the crippled state of commerce through Mexican . gulf ports, although there Is still -one Ger man line of steamers plying regularly and bringing quantities of supplies for the-interior-which are entering through Puerto Mexico. There also Is one -American line whose steamers make the ports Irregularly. Business activity In portions of Interior more or -less untouched by the ravages of the revolution will be stimulated by the probable resumptions of oil ship ments from the- Tamplco district and the consequent reestabllshment of freight service which has been prac tically abandoned for months because of the lack of fuel oil. As long ago as March, the railroads refused ' to haul any but perishable - or actually necessary freight shipments so that those portions of the republlo which might have continued their normal business activity have been forced In to a condition of stagnation, fllnce the American occupation very little freight has arrived- here and most of It consigned to Interior points la still in warehouses here. The Interruption of traffic by federals In opening a gap In the Mexican railroad has pre vented the dellverey of any but light er shipments and thus practically no cargoes from Europe or elsewhere has been consigned via Vera Crui. The Mexican railway officials now are making everey possible effort to get the roads restored and are confidents a heavy freight traffic r ould Imme. dlntely result The company has kept 400 laborers and a tralnload of rails and ties st the gap for a week past and is ready to nush the work at a moment's notice. For a month Ameri can workmen, employed ry foreign owned mines and other enterprises. have been straggling Into the Interior In small groups. Many were forced to go via Puerto Mexico because of the American government's orders that only Americans having urgent business be permitted to enter via Vera Crui. Reports from the Interior recently have Indicated a, gradual resumption of work In the various mining com panies and officials of several com panies here have revived word that their plants are nearly In full opera' tlon.

Gazette-News Bureau, Wyatt Building, , , Washington, July 16. The president sent to the senate yes terday the nomination of Col. A. H. Boyden to bo postmaster of Salisbury, succeeding James H. Ramsey, who has resigned to go Into business for him self. ; Mr. Ramsey resigned of his own accord. He notified Senator Overman some time ago that if he had been confirmed when nominated his present term of four years would have expired yesterday. He told the junior senator that In ' view of this fact and of his desire to enter private life he would tender his resignation to take effect yesterday, although his commission does not expire for six months. No word of Ramsey's resignation was given out for publication here until yeaterday and few, if any, outside of the postoftlce department. Senator Overman and the president, knew of Mr. Ramsey's resignation until Colonel Boyden's nomination was sent to the senate. . An exception was made in Colonel Boyden's case and his nomi nation was confirmed without the usual course of bels referred to the committee. It is believed here that the appoint ment of Colonel Boyden is the most popular one ever, made by Senator Overman. In addition to being a staunch democrat Colonel Boyden is a high class gentleman and his , thou sands of friends throughout the state will rejoice at this recognition of a progressive Wilson democrat. . It is understood that Colonel Boy den did not ask for the Salisbury post masterehip. Indeed it la doubted If he ha-yetmtd 'Senator Overman that he would accept the place. It Is believed, however, .hat he will accept. The Job pays $2400 a year. Senator Overman has secured the appointment of Lewis Gilliam, of Tar boro, as disbursing agent and surveyor for the Mexican boundary commission. The position pays $1800 and expenses. John Armstrong, ' of Wilmington, now in the consular service, has been promoted to the position of consul at Bristol, England. It is a good Job and ranks with the first consular places In importance and salary. Representative Page appeared be fore the Judiciary committee yesterday to urge that session; of the Federal court be held at Laurinburg. It Is be lieved that his request will be granted. Salisbury Surprised, Special to The Gazette-News. Salisbury, July 11. The resignation of Postmaster James H. Ramsey nt this time waa a complete surprise here. The appointment of Colonel A. H. Boy den as his successor was no surprise at all. It waa taken as a matter of course that when Mr. Ramsey should go out Colonel Boyden would Co 'In. No other name has been thought of. Mr. Ramsey and Colonel Boyden have alternated as . postmaster here for nearly 30 years. Colonel Boyden serv ing through the two Cleveland admin istrations. His appointment will give ge neral ' satisfaction. Colonel Boyden will not take charge of the office until August 1. DENY THAT JONES WILL BEDEFEATED White House Officials Say He Will Be Confirmed Fight ' Continues.. Washington, July !(. There was no let-up today In President Wilson's fight on behalf of Thomas D. Jones,' of Chi cago, for appointment to the federal reserve board. ' Statement that the nomination would be defeated In the- senate were vigorously denied by White House offi cials, who thought the affirmative side had gained numbers during the night. Last night, they said, the affirmative had small majority. A letter endorsing Mr. Jones, signed by M big bueslness Arms of Chlrago, today waa made public at the White House. JUDGE.

The North Caro Una eounoll of state ha addreeaed a letter to President Wilson urging the appointment of Chief Justice Welter Clark of this state to succeed Justice Horace 11. Lur.nv If Garranza and Carbajal Can Agree, President Wilson ' Will Recognize the Re sultant Government. : HOPEFUL, OF PARLEYS BETWEEN FACTIONS Convinced that Rebels Will Be Temperate on Entering ' Mexico City London Press Opinions. ;j Washington, July 16. The TJnlted States today Instructed John R. Silll man, American vice-consul at SaltiUo, to inform General Carranza that if he arrives at a peaoeful agreement with the Carbajal government for the trans fer of power at Mexico City, recogni tion will be accorded the resultant ad ministration. Should Caranza refuse to complete the settlement of the In ternal conflict by diplomatic means and force an entry Into Mexico by force of arms, recognition will be with held until there is a legal election, American troopB,' according, to pres ent plans, will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz until a government is recog nized. This determination was reached by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan after the views of the South American mediators was laid before them. Un der the terms of a protocol signed at Niagara Falls, the United States, Ar gentina, Brazil, and Chile went on re cord promising recognition to the gov ernment set up by agreement between the two Mexican factions. . Washington, July 16. President Wilson will not recognize Provisional President Carbajal nor any other government not set up by legal elec tions in accordance , with the proto col "signed at Nfagara Falls, pespite the resignation of Huerta, he . will continue his "watchful waiting" policy until the Mexican situation . la more clarified. - The expectation of the administra tion Is that arrangements will be made for peaceful entry pf the consti tutionalists' Into Mexico '. City In caee Carranza and his generals finally re- luse to accept rresiaeni Laroajiu. pending the holding of an election. . President Wilson., believes other nations . will not recognize any new government until the United States has Indicated its attitude. For that reason he thinks the constitutionalists will be very careful In ' their pro cedure. The president la aald to have no objection to Carbajal, except on the score that he derived his power from Iluorta and Is willing to accept him if the constitutionalists will agree, as provisional president, until elections are held. White House officials were, con vinced today that the constitutional ists would be temperate In their acts when' they enter Mexico City. They believe there is no danger of blood shed or looting. Senor Rlano, Spanish ambassador. called upon Secretary Bryan today to make representations for the safety of Spanish citizens In Mexico City. He was unable to say whether the Spanish embassy would continue to represent Mexico In the United States i under Provisional President Carbajal. Washington, July IS. Huerta's me teoric career In Mexican politics, at an end, President Wilson and his advisors today were concerned with the out come of the mission of three federal envoys who started from Mexico City for Calaya to arange with the consti tutionalists for peaceful entry into the capital. Many dlplomata-tn Washing ton think President Carbajal may be disposed to accept the terms of the Plan of Cuadaloupe, which provide for the naming of Carranaa, constitution alist chief, as provisional president, pending elections throughout the re public. All doubt In Washington over the course Huerta might now pursue waa dispelled by the report that he had left Mexico City presumably for Puerta Mexico. There, It was believed, he would follow In the steps of Por flrlo Diaz and board a ship fur Europe. Very Optlmlstl While President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan were silent after the an nouncement of Huerta's resignation, they were noticeably optimistic over prospects for early adjustment of the problem that haa vexed two adminis trations and threatened to plunge the United States Into a foreign war. The United States government will not rec ognise the new provisional president, but the understanding la that he will hold oftloa only until Carranta occupies Chapultepeo castle, , Carbajal, It waa believed, hoped only - for the declaration of general amnesty for the forces that have op posed the northern armies and certain property guarantees. The eonstltu tlonallats have declared they would not enter Into negotiations with lluer Ut'a successor, but hope waa confident ly expressed that some basis of parleys might Ve found by which tmlitary con quest of the capital could be avoided.

TO Attitude of Government De pends on What Action the Board Takes. WMbmjj&iSjWy1' . The' " threat ened suit under the Sherman law, the report of the interstate commeice commission, and the bill passed by Massachusetts legislature providing for the sale o fits Boston and Maine stock, were the chief questions to be taken up late today at a metttng here of the board of directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Upon action of the board rests in all probability the attitude of the department of Justice with refer ence to the filing of a dissolution suit, held in abeyance for several weeks by an agreement providing the salo of the Boston and Maine stock control. On June 25 the board adopt ed resolutions in which It was de clared It would be better to let the Sherman law prosecution proceed rather than to submit to terms of the Massachusetts law which It was de clared, would make the Boston and Maine stock unsalable on a fair basis. Attorney Oeneral McReynolds took the stand that the Massachusetts law was not sufficient reason for the New Haven to carry out Its agreement for a partial liquidation and in tin., i 1 !n would file a suit under the Shet.-i ir law If the- party continued on thi. atand they had taken. The road had until today, It Is understood, to file a report with the government on Its proposed proceedure. No report had been received today, prior to the meeting of the board.

"No disaster more horrifying could be Imaginable than that If New York city should have an earthquake. Juat enough of a shock to break water and gas main and to snap electric leads the loss of Ufa would be appalling. "A great eonllagratlon auch aa Is poaalble In New York would bring the same disastrous results. New York la beginning to realise the menace and steps are being taken to limit the height of buildings, It does not make a city and great to have high build ings." Other speakers on the program Iwere II. F. Martin, Athnla. Oa.. on "building for pront"; Pinion Ktraua, New York on "oflloe building bonds"; and Wllburton B.

Special to The Gazette-News. .Salisbury, July ' 16. News indictment by a Buncombe grand Jury of Bishop C. R. 'of the county Harris, one of the most prominent negroes of Salisbury, on a charge of burning a church, was a great surprise to his many friends both white and colored, and every one refuses to believe that there is anything In the charge The bishop was not here when the wire came to arrest him. : His friends who have known of the trouble in the Ashevllle church are slalmlng that the indictment is the result of spite work on the part of a former preach er in charge who failed to get a de sired action on the part of the bishop. A consecration service with several addresses and sermons marked the second day of the Salisbury district conference which is in session at South Main street Methodist church, this city. There were reports from the several charges, most of them of an encouraging nature. The conference will probably close this evening.
