Francisco I. Madero, President of Mexico, has been arrested and placed in prison and General Herto, com mander of the Federal troops, has been proclaimed President. Madero was forced to resign when he was ar rested. This may cause a temporary end to the bloody struggle In Mexico and it may not. Our Government Is still worried over the situation In that country and will be until we are guaranteed that the life and property of all foreigners are safe. President Madero Arretted and Placed in Prison. Mexico City, Feb. 18. Francisco L. Madero has been forced out of the Presidency. He was arrested at the National Palace shortly before three o'clock this afternoon by General Blanquet. He finally signed his resig nation. General Vlctoriano Huerto, com mander of the Federal troops, was proclaimed Provisional President. About the time Madero was arrest ed by Blanquet, his brother, Gustavo Madero, the former minister, was al so taken but in a different locality. Jose Pino Saurez, Vice-President, es caped. All members of the Cabinet were promptly placed under arrest, with the exception of Ernesto Madero, the uncle of the President, who held the Portfolio of Finance. He was ap prised of the intentions of the Gov ernment and managed to make his es cape. The direct movement against Ma dero was the result of a plot which had been brewing since yesterday and which possibly existed with Blanquet for a much greater length of time. From the first it has been known that General Blanquet was unwilling to fight. His men were of the same mind. He held complete command over them, and it was not doubted that they would follow him in any adventure, as they did at the Nation al Palace this afternoon. The forces numbering 1,000 men, which arrived late yesterday, were sent immediately to the Palace, os tensibly to relieve the reserve there. The reserves were sent into the field. An agreement between General Blanquet and Huerta was reached last night, but the first intimation that blanquet's men had of the new role they were to play was shortly before the successful stroke was made. Blanquet drew his men up in order and delivered a stirring speech. Blanquet then issued orders for the arrest of the President and as signed a detachment to that duty. Madero was soon a prisoner in his own rooms. One reason given for the attitude of General Blanquet from the begin ning was the presence of his son in the ranks of Diaz. When the arrest of the President and his ministers became known, crowds gathered in the streets through which they paraded, shout ing "Vivas" for Huerta and Diaz. A conference was held between the representatives of these two generals and an agreement was reached whereby the appointment of General Huerta to the Provisional Presidency was proclaimed. Prior to this, however, Huerta's attempt to communicate with Diaz precipitated one of the sharpest en gagements of the day. The fire from the Rebel rifles and machine guns was long sustained. It was by no means certain at that time that the coup which had been car ried out meant the end of hostilities. At 3:30 in the afternoon the can nonading was still heavier than be fore and the rattle of machine guns was heard in various quarters. A few loyal members of Madero's staff rushed into the room when Ma dero was struggling with the soldiers and went to his rescue, but ineffect ually. Captain Garmedia, who had just been appointed chief of police, advanced upon Colonel Riveroll, shooting and wounding him severely. Immediately there was an exchange of shots and three or four members of the President's staff are said to have been wounded. Just to make the records clear, Madero was given reasonable time in which to write his resignation. the short range firing in the streets of the city, Mr. Wilson's first duty will be to treat with the new Presi dent for amelioration of the condi tions Imposed upon Americans and other foreigners, especially since the revolution entered In this last stage. While this Government will take no concern over the choice of a suc cessor to President Madero, such a successor will have to demonstrate his ability to maintain stable govern ment before political recognition will be accorded him by the United States.

American Minister Ha a Delicate Situation With Which to Deal. Mexico City, Feb. 17. (By courier to Vera Cruz, Feb. 18.) All the hor rors of a bombardment have been ex perienced by the residents of this city for many days. Vicious machine gun and rifle fire ha3 raged in the streets at a range of sometimes of less than one hundred yards. Scarcely a district of the capital has escaped injury. Hundreds of buildings attest by their hole-marked sides and wrecked interiors to the destructive qualities of modern ar tillery. How many have been killed or wounded is a question which none can answer definitely. From a source usually considered conservative, it has been stated that the number of dead is not less than 2,000, while the total of the wounded amounts to from 8,000 to 10,000. The great ma jority of these are not soldiers, hut men, women, and children unable to escape the lines of fire. It is a well known fact that detachments of fifty and one hundred men have been mowed down by machine guns here and there at various times when caught in the narrow streets. Carts piled high with corpses have been driven to the outskirts of the city and buried. Every morning in the zone of the actual fight, piles of burning rub bish are to be seen. These heaps are for the most part rubbish, but the odor of burning flesh tells another story. A practical, though grewsome method has been utilized in one place. The gas escaping from a brok en main has been lighted and there in that steady flame has been impro vised a crematory. In the basement of an apartment house a few blocks from the arsenal is the grave of Mrs. K. W. Holmes, one of the two Amer ican women killed early in the fight ing by the entrance into her home of a shell. FoV three days her husband remained alone there with the corpse, unable to remove it and unwilling to leave it perhaps to suffer further mu tilation. Soldiers entered the apartment where he kept vigil and before his eyes robbed the place. He managed to find boards and carpenters' tools and nails in the building and con structed a coffin into which he laid the body of his wife. He carried it to the basement and there dug and filled her grave. The following new bill were intro duced: Council: To constitute a commis sion to direct repairs at the Gover nor's Mansion and appropriate $25,- 000. The Justice anti-trust bill was or dered printed, on motion of Senator Hobgood. There will a public meeting of the joint Senate and House Commit tee on Finance in the Senate Cham ber at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, for the consideration of the proposi tion to sell the A. & N .C. Railroad. Following bills passed final read ing: Senate bill amending Wake Coun ty officers' salary law.

She was Miss Agnes Peebles, of Lexington, Davidson County, and was born the first day of February, 1S32. On March 25, 1S52. she was married to Mr. Oscar E. Harris, who preceded her to the grave twenty-eight years ago. The death of such an excellent lady as Mrs. Harris deserves more than passing notice. She graduated at Greensboro Fe male College and early in life she became a member of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, and her con sistent Christian life showed the sin cerity of her religion. After suffer ing intensely for three months of heart trouble her struggling spirit passed away from earth to Heaven. Her remains were laid in the silent grave at Ebenezer Church. The de ceased was greatly beloved by all who knew her. Her amiability of temper, her loveliness of character, her remarkable cheerfulness and hap py, contented disposition, her utter want of selfishness, her fidelity to duty, her devotion to her husband and her untiring, loving care of her children all combined to make her a Bookkeeping, Business IVactice.
