DICTATOR AT LAST i
BOWS TO THE STORM
MF.XM 0 (11 V. July 1 )i.—Victoriuno Huerta, provis
ional president of Mexico, lias bowed at last to the sloi ins
that raged around him on every hand, has given up the
struggle w hich made him lor the time the most prominent
figure in world politics and has stepped down Iron) the
presidential chair and so finally made way for a new order
of things in the southern republic.
i he long contemplated resignation of the dictator took
place last night amid circumstances of the most impres
sive kind and today Mexico breathes more easily and the
world powers, and particularly the I'nited States, now
await the next scene in the tragedy which began with the
defeat and killing of the Maderos.
•*\ ictoriano Huerta, provisional president ol the Mex
ican Republic, actuated by the highest motives ol patrio
tism and comply ing with the supreme duty which he owes
to his country, has resigned his otlice".
Such was the ollicial announcement made this morning
!n the representatives of the Huerta regime. In this way
was made certain the beliefs of the people of this city who
had. all but come to the conclusion that the resignation
would come after the flight of the members of the Huerta
and Ulan juet families y esterday.
In addition to the resignation ot Huerta himselt ail the
members ot the cabinet have a.so handed then •esigna
(ions t'i congress and i rancisco ( aibajai. loimctiy. *o. *
cign mini n the oath of provisional president
pending the arrangement tor elections. f .
\ erv little excitement was manifested by the people ot
the city' as he resignations had been pretty well generally
expected s;;.e ti e leaving o? the Huerta lamily but fhe*e
is a feel it) t c«i hone ilia. Iv> wjli h.* the Iasi tint, on which
the c :: *:u* i!’ be placed in he danger which Iras beer,
const: n smec tre retirement ol I resident ?)ia/.
\*j;; . i( o -rry . Jji5,' Vi. The forma’ >csignntior o
i*resi»tei ' Uverta nas read today at a joint meeting ol
cor.-rc?" :nd \v;> > accepted In the chamber ol deputies h\
av(Tt< { lift to 17. These i deputies voting against
. s|H>ke in tlu stronger I ' erms ag 1
. . . premies of the go eminent inside and
' them sjioke in particularly warm lang
y. • ainst what ♦he;« regarded as a submission to the
dicta*, t* of the United* Stales government and v.ere
cheered.
Ui i. Vi ho attended the session in person, was wild’;
cheered ' v the members assembled and it is evident that
he is sti!! a popular hero in the eyes ot the greater part
of the pe< ole of tiie cil\ because be has tor so long and so
stubborn!' heard the United States and the rebels and all
the oth» r "forces ai rayed against him.
Hi invsenteu iu'te a dignified and heroic front and
I went through the formality of the resignation with a fine
calmness.
After the proceedings he left the chamber surrounded
by (he cheering deputies and shook hands with many of
them who pressed forward. The men who voted to jic
cept the resignation were as wildly enthusiastic in his fa
vor as the men who voted against it and. indeed, they de
sired everyone to know that they only voted as they did at
Huerta’s own request and because they believed the good
of (he country demanded the adoption of such a course.
Soon after the proceedings in congress Huerta and
Hlanquet went aboard a train outside the city’s limits and
are now in all probability on the way to Huerta Mexico to
take ship for some foreign country although there is some
doubt that they would let anyone know their real destina
tion.
Provisional President Carbajal will probably resign
when a general amnesty has been declared that would
protect the lives of Huerta and those who sympathized
with his cause. Should such an amnesty be granted it <s
not unlikely that the Huertas will return to the republic
hut no one expects to see him return for a long time, or, at
least, until the country has forgotten to some extent the
bitterness of the last year or two.
The members of the late cabinet are also leaving the
city but they are doing so in a quiet manner and all will
probably reach the coast before their destinations has
been lea rived. There is a fear that the train of Huerta
and Hlanquet and some of the others might be intercepte d
by the robe's and that their lives might be forfeited but it
is regarded as almost certain that everything nad been
prt* iouslv prepared for security in the flight.

Mexit ■ tod:r Is Ccncral \ ifla, the chief commander of the
Constitut’Dnalisis. Y her. he heard that Huerta had re

chief is reported to have said while his lips were com

his extreme disappointment that he car. never place the
former president with his back (<> a nadobe wall. ^ ii!a is
here now and is eugerl} awaitng for all the news about

MEXICO CITY, July Id.—A committee has been ap
pointed by congress to ’real with the rebels. They have
ahead} been sent out to meet representatives of the Car
ranza govrnment to arrange particularly for the peaceful
entry of the rebel army into the capital and the hope is
general that they will be successful.

CROW CR. STAKED
18 YEARS AGO
(iround on Which Strike Has Been
Made Has a Story Thai Bears a
Moral for Miners
Crow Creek, on which the cleanup
of $12,000 has just been made after
four days ago has had a history
which points a moral to miners. Paul
Buckley who is now here in Seward
was one of the men who lirst located
Crow Creek and the property men
tioned eighteen years ago. The loca
tion was made in the spring of 1806
but the locators had a poor opinion of
it and went into the interior. In the
following year they canto back and
while doing assessment work they
ran into rich ground and picked up a
nugget worth $26.45. For the follow
ing years they worked the ground
which sometimes paid well nut not al
ways. In 1902 they struck rien
ground again and in 1905, and 1994
they worked 50 or 60 men. In the
year 1904 they bought a 840,000 hyd
raulic outfit which was paid for by the
money taken from the ground. Dur
ing that year they hydraulicked and
in 1905 they sold to a California syn
dicate for $200,000. The purchasers
then tore out the old plant and ship
ped in what was at that time the
largest hydraulic plant in Alaska,
putting in a Xo. 7 giant, and after
having worked the ground for two
years they sold to the present owner-.
C. W. Purington, the noted engineer
who examined the property of the
Pioneer Mining company at Nome
last year for British people, made
the first report on the ground. His
report was that the property had a
life of over 50 years.

I
From questioning some / tlie lead
ing (Republicans hen* in Seward and
from statements made in the news
papers of other camps h seems to be
likely that the Republicans will not
call a convention this year in the ter
ritory. It is also considered proba
ble that the party will not put for
ward a candidate for congress and it
is certain that no man is Icing men
tioned as a likely choice although the
Democrats are already very act»\e
and the Socialists and W.ickorsham
are already in the field. None of the
Seward Republicans are *ib!e to give
any information as to ihe likely
course to be pursued although
Charles E. Herron, republican com
mitteeman, has not been questioned
as be is not in the city at present.
