REVOLT IS mm
opinion Prevails In City of Mexico ancK
in Washington That There Will
Early Peace In the Southern
public.
Members* of the peace commission,
says a dispateh from El Paso, Tex., de
clared that the revolution in Mexico Is
as good as ended.
General Francisco I. Hadero agreed
to an armistice, providing the govern
ment would rest all military opera*
tions, and a favorable reply frpm the
City of Mexico is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion.
General Navarro, in advance of offi
cial orders, released the three United
States citizens who have heen prison*
ers for some time—Blatt, Converse and
Brown—from the Juarez jail. These
men had been'conflned there for eight
weeks for alleged participation in the
revolution.
The peace envoys met with General
Madero in a small adobe house, just
across the river from the smelter, and
the latter repeated to them his stated
ment, earlier given to the Associated
Press, that he does not insist on the
resignation of President Diaz as essen
tial to negotiations for p^ce. Thus
the keystone of the arch of opposition
to end the revolution dropped from its
place.
General Madero said all he will in
sist upon, in addition to the reforms al
ready instituted, is that the people qf
Mexico shall have a “square deal,*’^*s
piovided in the constitution.
It is known that many facts hitherto
laknown to General Madero were im-
^rted to him. He h^, it is said, been
dhnost in complete ignorance of what
WAS going on t^e. optside ^ .
nore than - month. r
Every indication points to peace.

UNION OF COLLEGES.
Talk of Merging Emory and Wesleyan
News to Emory’s President.
Regarding the published statements
that Emory and Wesleyan colleges
were likely to be merged shortly, Dr.
James L. Dickey, at Oxford, Ga., de
nied most emphatically that such a
plan was on foot. Publication of a
story in an afternoon Atlanta paper
brought to him the first intimation of
the projected union.
Dr. Dickey issued the following:
“My attention has been called to an
article in’ The Atlanta Georgian of the
17th instant concerning the proposed
union of Emory and Wesleyan. Profes
sor stone is quoted as saying, 'that
such a plan would surely be launched
in the very near future.’
“As a trustee of b(^h institutions,
and as the president <rf Elmory, I wish
to say that I have never hear^ the
proposed union discussed by a trustee
of either institution, and that person
ally I do not thinll a union of. these
colleges is within the remotest bounds
of possibility. I. wish to say further
in my opinion such a fmioh would be
detrimental to the Interests of ^th
Emory and Wesleyan.
