The secretary of state's office remained open after hours last night to permit the filing of Mr. O'Gorman's resignation as a justice of the supreme court. The joint assembly had assembled preparatory to balloting for senator before the resignation was filed. Practically all of the members of the legislature have returned to their homes and the work of restoring the damaged senate and assembly chambers is being rapidly progressed in an endeavor to make them ready for occupancy when the legislature" re-convenes on April 17. Governor Dix has signed the bill appropriating $600,000 for immediate repairs.

San Antonio, April 1. Delayed advices, from the City of Mexico. couxded with new and authentic reports of renewed disorders In the border states the southern republic, confirm the belief that the hones for peace in Mexico, which were expressed by representatives of both disputant a ew days ago, have been superseded by very decided indications of con- tinued' warfare and the spread of the revolution very near the heart of the Mexican Government. A letter from: a well-informed person in the capital of Mexico says that none of the supporters of the Diaz government there took seriously the Madero statements about peace their plans for treating with Liman- tour to bring about granting of concessions to the insurrectos In the There was no intention, the letter says, on the part of Diaz and his new circle of advisers to deviate from the principle of refusing to treat with, rebels under arms. An American with interest In the Mexican captital visited some of the high commanding officers in the camp, whom he knew, yesterday.

It' was his report that indicated the near ap-preach of disorder to the capital city itself. He said that in one of the suburban cities in the federal district, the-stect lighting plant had been cut one night recently, and that in the darkness shots had been fired from windows upon soldiers in the street, and there had been an attempt to rush the barracks of the small garrison situated here. Rebel bands were within 30 miles of the city, this informant said, and in-, side the city itself extreme vigilance against an uprising in the poorer streets were being exercised daily. Very little reliance was being put by the people in the ability of the new ministry to pull the country out of its trouble, and, at best, it was considered merely a change incapable of ine ir ore than, staving off the collapse oC Did-; r. a- while.

ACTIVITIES ALFANO UNDER A CROSS FIRE Camorra Leader Appears to Less Advantage When He Is Gruelled by President Bian-chi in Cross-examination. Viterbo, Italy, April 1. Under cross-examination Enrico Alfano appeared to lesser advantage than he did under direct interrogation yesterday when vehement denials that he was either 'the head or the tail of the Camorri," or had guilty knowledge of the deaths of Gennaro Cuoccolo, and his wife, fenced skilfully but was not convinc-fairly stampeded the audience. He fenced skilfully but was not convincing.

"If you were innocent," asked President Bianchi, "why did you flee to the United States? You did not take your crime, you were accused. In fact, you delayed and were arrested. But following your release you fled when Abba-temaggio's revelations began and in so doing you showed that you felt that the informer spoke the truth." "I filed," answered Alfano, "because for the second time I' was experiencing an attack of intestinal trouble and I feared that it would be aggravated by confinement if 1 was held in prison for seme years preceding my trial. Of my ultimate vindication I had no doubt." "And what of the Camorra today?" pursued the. president.

"It no longer exists." "That assertion," retorted the president, "is explainable when it is recalled that a rule of the society obliges Caraor. rists to deny to the authorities affiliation with vthe Camorra. this repudiation of their not implying cowardice in the eyes of the Camorra." PLACE BAN ON iNEWFAC Triangle Waist Company, -Within Week of Their Recent Disaster, Violate Fire Rules in New Quarters-Must Rearrange Machines New York, April 1. The new home of the Triangle Waist Company, 144 of whose employes met death, in" or as a result of the Washington place-fire last Saturday, was placed under the ban of the building department yesterday afternoon.

The company had resumed work yesterday morning on the top floor of a six-story structure, rated; as non-fireproof, in University place, not far from the scene of the disaster. Changes in the machine arrangement will be necessary before work can go on. Relief funds for the sufferers totalled $65,571 last night, sufficient, with what is to come, from benefits already planned, to give all. needed aid, in the opinion of the Red Cross emergency relief committee. No further apnea! for funds will be made.

GIVES AWAY HIS FORTUN! Philanthropist, at 91 Years, Winds Up His $4,000,000 in Gifts to Colleges Will Re- i tire Practically Penniless on April 14. Chicago, April 1.

"I consider what are called my gifts to be cancelling of my debts," said Dr.

Pearsons. "It is high time that I am out of debt.

With the confession of one Black Hand agent, the announcement of another threat against a government official, James E. Stuart, postoffice inspector, and spurred on by the long list of recent Black Hand crimes, the Italian people themselves threaten to put a stop to the lawlessness.

A reflection of the views of many Chicago Italians is seen in an article which appeared today in L'ltalia, an Italian newspaper in Chicago. The article says: "An epoch of blood, of cruel slaughter, of ferocious vendettas, is what the Chicago Italian colony is going through just now. Until a short time ago crimes committed were almost In all cases those due to passion. "Today the killings are not committed to avenge the honor of a wife, a sister or of a daughter. The 'hand' does not seek the knife or revolver in a paroxysm of passion.

The crimes are committed almost in all instances in the name of the Black Hand or of organized crime- The motive is money. "Naturally, frequent and atrocious crimes seriously are impressing the American people as well as the people of other nations in our disfavor, and they are liable at any time to lose patience and resort to acts of violence. The massacres at New Orleans and Tampa are not forgotten in Chicago. "It is necessary that the Italians themselves, for their own self respect, and for their own protection, to organize themselves to liberate the colony here from the criminals staining its name."

i-if fs I The day was perfcet and the course almost flat. This is Oxford 's 37th victory, Cambridge having won 30 contests. In 1877 the race ended in a dead heat pxford led from the start and won by three lengths. Oxford's time was 18 minutes, 29 seconds, which is a record for the race, the fastest time ever made in the inter-varsity contest. The pre-rious record was 18 minutes, 47 seconds, made by Oxford in 1S93 and duplicated by Cambridge in 1900.

Last Oxford with a lead of three lengths finished in 20 minutes and 50 laconds. According to the English practice the time of the defeated crew Is not taken. The smoothness of the water today contributed greatly to the fast time and a strong tide helped considerably. The official times at the various points on the course were as follows: Start, nrst raue, iour minutes; Hammersmith bridge, seven minutes, eleven seconds; Chiswick church, eleven minutes, 19 seconds; Barnes bridge, IS minutes, 24 finish, 18 minutes, 29 seconds. ALBANIAN PAYS DEATH PENALTY The Soldier Who Assassinated Colonel von Schlichting on Tuesday Is Shot by His Comrades Today.

Constantinople, April 1- The Albanian soldier Colonel Von Schlichtingyca German instructor in' the Turkish army, who had reprimanded him, was executed this morning. "Von Schlichting's widow had asked that the assassin be pardoned and reports were current that the government was afraid to execute him lest the action result in mutiny in the Albanian army. However, the penalty was inflicted openly and without trouble. The Albanian was killed by a firing party from his own battalion and in the presence of others of the battalion accompanied with its band and colors, the divisional commander and two German officers. After the sentence of death had been read a volley as fired and the human mark fell pierced by nine bullets.

HARVARD STUDENTS WITNESS A MURDER Negro Waiter in Memorial Hall Shoots Another After Quarrel Over Silver in the Dining Room. Cambridge, April 1. The Memorial Hall shooting affray of yesterday had a fatal ending today when Heath Hughes, a colored waiter died the Cambridge city hospital as a result of his wounds. Charles Roachford, another colored waiter, who is charged with the is held at the Cambridge police station, having been taken by the Police yesterday afternoon after a rrowd of Harvard students and Cambridge citizens chased him for more than a mile through the steet of the city. The shooting said to have been th outcome of a quarrel over some silver between the two waiters in the big Harvard dinine room.

Roachford. it is said by witnesses, became so ngry that he drew a revolver and four shots at Hughes, every one of the bullets lodging in Hughe's body near the heart. I 0 0 0 0 OLD COINS BRING RECORD PRICES 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chicago, April 1. A new high quotation was made last night on the gold dollar of the issue of 1S63 at the aution sale of old American coins held in the rooms of the Chicago Munismatic Society. The new price is $37.60, the former record being $35 for that coin.

Other sales were as follows: half cent pfece of 1795, cent of 1798. half dime of 1S01. quarter dollar of 1796, silver dollar of 1794. $S9. 0 It V- i Pi 1 i than it was in the closing hours of the memorable contest.

Some of the staunch friends of Mr. Sheehan, like Dr. Bush, Senator Fiero and Senator Black of New York city, zealously defended their candidate to the end, but finally came to the support of Judge O'Gorman. At 7 o'clock, when Lieutenant Governor, as presiding officer of the joint session, formally announced the election of O'Gorman, the tired members. Jammed in the stuffy court room improvised as a legislative chamber, broke out into prolonged cheers.

OBJECT TO CAUCUS. Eleven of the insurgent assemblymen and two of-the senators did not attend the caucus. They did this to protest against the caucus as an institution. "Senator Loom's -had the djtfnetiort rt being. -the first of the insurgent band to enter the.

caucus at the close of the negotiations. He was closely followed by1 Senator Saxe, another member who voted with the insurgents. They were welcomed by the regulars as they had been long-lost brothers. The other insurgents who soon came in were Assemblymen Miller, Terry, McDaniels, Friedman, Thombly Cosad and Martin. Conciliatory speeches were made by Leaders Wagner and Smith, it being confidently declared that all the democrats in the legislature will now stand shoulder to shoulder to accomplish what the party was pledged to do.

When Leader E. A. Smith returned from the long conference held at the residence of Senator Roosevelt he said that most of Jfne insurgents would enter the caucus and vote for O'Gorman. "Those who don't come into the caucus will be at the joint session," said he. "We have enough votes unless some of our own Sheehan men go back on us." A Sheehan revolt was the manifest fear of the leaders until the first ballot showed that O'Gorman received 63 votes, or a majority of 114 democratic members; Sheehan only had 22.

O'Gorman therefore was declared the caucus candidate. One of the singular instances commented on was the conference of Charles F. Murphy, Daniel F. Cohalan and Leader McCooey of Kings county during the afternoon. They sat in a room at the Ten Eyck with the door open, but with no one waiting to see them.

Their agents had to go to the insurgents instead of the insurgents going to therry In the opinion of the 30 men the tiger is a very much subdued animal compared with what he was two or three months ago. THE FINAL BALLOT. After the adjournment of the caucus, the joint assembly convened immediately and on the final ballot, the 64th since the contest began, Justice O'Gorman received 112 votes, to 80 cast for Chauncey M. Depew, whose term expired on March 4. The result was in doubt almost up to the minute of recording the votes.

This was due to the uncertainty as to how naany of the democratic insurgents, who for over two months had prevented the election of a senator because of their opposition to William F. Sheehan, the original caucus choice, would enter the second caucus which had been adjourned from day to day since Monday. At the close of a day, marked with aimost continued negotiations between the democratic factions, the insurgents finally capitulated and Justice O'Gorman's election was aeeom-(Continued on Page Eleven.) COAL MIXERS STRIKE. 'Winnipeg, April 1. The strike of miners working in all the large coal mines of southern Alberta and eastern British Columbia, the sources of supply for the prairies of western Canada, began last night involving the idleness of 1,000 men and a shortage of soft coal to all centers in western Canada Albany, April 1.

Regulars and insurgents are rejoicing over what is regarded as a happy conclusion of the long struggle to elect a United States senator. Those democratic members of the legislature who set emphasis on regularity and political organization are satisfied with the election of James Aloysius O'Gorman because it was finally brought about through the medium of a party caucus, although some of the insurgents remained away from it. All of the 30 insurgents are delighted because they forced the hitherto dominant and dictatorial leaders of Tammany to make terms with them, resulting in the election of an able and independent demonerat, ftee from all, affiliations witf- corporations and the "interests." CAPABLE, HONEST MAN. It is the unanimous opinion here among all classes of democrats that Senator O'Gorman, having come up from among the people himself, will demonstrate his sympathy with their aspirations for progressive reforms at Washington. Even Senator Brackett, the republican leader in the state senate, at the joint session while sarcastically referring to Judge O'Gorman as a Tammany man, was constrained to admit that he was a capable, honest and clean citizen.

Yesterday was an exciting day for all the democratic members of the legislature, especially the leaders. One of the unique happenings was the spectacle of Tammany leaders like Senator "Wagner, Senator Fraw-ley and Assemblyman A- E. Smith visiting the insurgent headquarters at the residence of Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt and begging the twenty-odd members there assembled to help the regulars elect a senator. Two of the things upon which was obtained the solemn pledge of Senators Wagner and Frawley and Assemblyman Smith were: First, that with the election of a senator the state organization was to forget the differences existing in the party -on the senatorship since the beginning of the year.

That is, no attempt was to be made by the regulars to discriminate against the insurgent members in legislation or politically, should they come up for renomina-tion and re-election. Second, that Senator O'Gorman will stand squarely upon both state and national democratic platforms. While the negotiations were going on the insurgents were handed a telegram from Judge O'Gorman declaring his fealty to the principles of the platforms, REPUBLICANS WERE READY. Things had come to such a pass that if the regulars and insurgents had failed to get together on the senator-ship, the latter had made up their minds to accept the assistance of republicans next week. Republican State Chairman William Barnes was so willing to bring this about that he visited Assemblyman Evans, one of the insurgents, six times during the day and offered the aid of the republicans legislators to elect an independent democrat that might be named.

Mr. Barnes told Mr. Evans that all of the republican legislators except six had signed an agreement to do this- The insurgents were busy during the afternoon gathering information concerning Judge O'Gorman. The objection of the 30 men who have been voting against Sheehan was that the name of O'Gorman was sprung at the eleventh hour and without enough time having been given them to ascertain what he was and where he stood on the big na-. tional questions now before congress.

For that reason the caucus called 10 o'clock in the forenoon was postponed until 3 o'clock. It didn't convene until 5 o'clock. In spite of the sharp differences of opinion on the senatorial question, continuing for nearly three months, the remarkable absence of bitterness on both sides has often been referred to. At no time was this spirit of forbearance and comradeship mOfe evident RKBKLS. COSTLY, VIOTORY.
