The civil strife which broke out in Mexico City on February 9 is still being waged with unabated fury. Our Correspondent explains that it is impossible to send other news because the Government have established a strict for travel censorship since Saturday, a circumstance Pexj? ast which shows that they, and not the Diaz party. nave control ol the telegraph up to the present.

From information which thev have themselves sent to the United States, it appears that the armisuce concluded upon Sunday was broken a few hours after it was made. We are indeed assured in another message which reaches us uy way ol New lork that there are indications of a development of a char acter that may soon relieve the situation 'to a measurable dearee." We should be glad to know the reasons on which this hopeful forecast may be based. They are not as yet aiscerniDio on this side of the Atlantic. Last Sunday week a portion of tho troops in the capital mutinied and delivered from prison Genital Felix Diaz and Central Bernardo Reyes. After occurvine abandoning the National Palace, once the residence of the unfortunate Emperor Maximilian, and after some street fighting, in the course of which General Reyes was shot dead.

the insurgents captured the arsenal and the anus factory. There they have maintained themselves ever since, abundantly supplied with ammunition and artillery. Tho fighting between the factions has been bloody. Many lives have been lost and much property ha been destroyed, but neither partv appears to hav, obtained a decisive advantage. Tho causes of the revived for us the memory of a remarkable man.

and indirectly of a remarkable period. Pennant was born in 1728 of a family long settled in the pariah of Whit ford, near Hobwell, in Flintshire. His mother was one of the Mvttojts, of Shropshire the family that a little later produced the hard riding, hard drinking, reckless John Mytton. whose almost incredible adventures are recorded in a volume now rare, at least in its original dress. Faculties not great at that period, but to have made himself exten hy acquainted with his native land, travelling on horseback over the greater part of England in Scotland and Ireland.

Though he described himself as a moderate Tory. he was classed by tho more fervid partisanship of Dr. Johnson as A Whig. Sir. a sad doe but.

notwithstanding the adverse presumption thus created, Johns, d. elareU that Pennant wad the best traveller he had ever read, who saw more than any one else did. He was a voluminous writer, but also an interesting and well informed one, and when he wearied of actual travelling he wrote imaginary tours. But travel and everything else was subsidiary to his love of natural history. He took to that study as a boy and pursued it with reel through a long Ule.

llelorc he was thirty he was about 7 o'clock bast night at hat hooae Queen gate. He had been ill aboot fortnight, but it was not until vesterdav that grave fears were entertained as to hi ultimate recovery. The death of Lord Macnaghten is perhaps the heaviest loss which the Enguah Bench could have sustained, and it is hardly too much to say that since the death of Lord Wataon in September, 1899, he was the greatest of British Judges. Certainly in the combination of literary cift with legal learning Lord Macnaghten has had. during the present generation, few rivals, the only names which suggest thernsehns being those of Lord Justice James and Lord Bowen.

Fewer still among lawyers have had so enviable a career. Brilliant forensic and judicial success is usually purchased at the price of excessive and unwholesome labour and strenuous self assertive competition. At no time could tho words have been applied to Macnachten nodes aUpte dies nib pratMantt laburt for throuehout his career he never deemed to bo overworked, and always gave the impression of a man with plenty of leisure. Fortunately, having from the first been in easy circumstance, he was able to indulge that passion for perfection in the quality of his work which is rarely found in pushing advocates who make their way to the Bench. He reached the posi tion lor which he was most quahhed with i correspondence with LlnXjEcs, and a few years preliminary disappointment, and he lived for later lie stayed with Bcffon in Burgundy, i many years in the unobtnisixo discharge of later lie stayed with Bcffon in Burgundy.

manv years in the unobtrusive discharge trvna bore testimony to the enduring value of lne rm ot judicial duty. his work, which, to use a phrase coined since his time, was thoroughly up to date. His accuracy of observation was remarkable, and. though now and again called in question, has been vindicated by better knowledge. Even at this late period the disinterment of his collection not only proves the accuracy of the engravings made under his supervision, but aids in settling some disputed points.

Since then the Government have maintained attitude of blank non porsumua to all probably they resolve tbemscl' into a struggle between the ins and the outs." It has been pretty clear to attentive observers that the situation of the Madero Government has been insecure from the first.

President Porttrio Diaz put an end to the cl ironic anarchy, which was the normal condition of Mexico from the time when she threw off the Spanish rule until his accession, by ruling with an iron hand under the forms of an extremely democratic Constitution. He was a tjTant in the old Greek sense of the word, but ho was a tyrant of intelligence and almost of genius. There were ominous movements in Mexico during the later years of his power leading up to the movement which ended in tho triumph of Sen or Madero. Once his hand waa withdrawn the old disruptive forces began to operate more freely. General Reyes, who had incurred his displeasure by daring to accept the Democratic nomi nation for Vice President in 1909, and who at first supported the Madero Government, soon went into opposit rebellion.

He made his peace with President Madero in December, 1911, because, as he himself explained, he could not get enough lollowere to support turn in a revolution. seems, however, to have relapsed, or to have been suspected of relapsing, and indeed it would have been against all Mexican precedent, had he honestly supported an Administration which did not provide him with a good place. All through 1911 and 1912 there was a series of armed disturbances in different parts of the vast territories of the Republic. Wo heard of Zapata, the guerilla chief, and of Generals Gomez and Oaozco. Last October General Felix Diaz, who is a nephew of the ex was in arms, and was defeated by the Federal troops.

Now ho is at the head of the far more formidable movement in the capital itself. The extraordinary material progress of Mexico MEMOIR. Edward Macnaghten, the second son of Sir Edmund Charles Worknan Macnaghten. second baronet, a member of an ancient Scottish family long settled in Ulster, waa born on Fehruary 3. 1831.

As one of the first naturalists of his day, gifted with a remarkable power of making his studies tttracthe, Pennant has great claims of his own upon the regard of posterity. But they are enhanced by his close connexion with a book whose literary charm must survive all changes in the science it embalms. Pennant belongs to a class of men who happily have always been fairly numerous in England, and to whom English science owes a debt of cratitude which it is not easy to over estimate. It is a class of men in easy circumstances, with plenty of duties of their own to fulfil, which like Pennant himself they have fulfilled motives of ambition or gain, men who for sheer inborn love of knowledge have scorned delights and lived laborious days.

Their names are found prominent in the list of those who have added to human knowledco from tho great revival of learning down to the present day. They have done much to advance science, and also much to humanize it, to mellow its aspect, and to keep it in touch with other human and activities. Pennant was one oi these in his day and generation, and it is good that his long unknown collection should now remind us of what we owe to the disinterested labours and fine original faculties of those whose pursuit of science came of an inner and irresistible impulse. 1S. .1 and in 1n52 ho rowed tho Cambridge boat and won the Diamonds at Henley.

He was called "to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1857. It was characteristic of him that. as he once told a legal audience in Gray Inn. ne reau aasiuuousiy novels wniie attending law lectures. But his powerful grasp of principles enabled him to do quickly what cost others much toil and he soon made for himself a good position a conveyancer and equity draftsman, which was doubtless improved by his" marriage in the following year with the only child of Baron Martin, who, like himself, was an Lister man.

Doubtless the best thing that could happen for the country and for aU the foreign stateliness worthy of its position of its relation to the Arch and the Mall. That could only have been done if long ago the Government had purchased land and buddings in Spring gardens on either side of the approach, sufficient, when tho necessary reconstructions were carried out, to give a valuable set off in the shapo of public offices, and at the same time to make the approach to the Arch what it ought to be one of the noblest examples of public architecture in Ixmdon.

His Judicial Career, In the Lords and on the Judicial Committee Lord Macnaghten was in his proper sphere. But even there he never sought prominence, and at one time his admirers in Lincoln Inn felt some degree of disappointment. It was thought that he too often contented himself with mere acquiescence.

But when four or five noble and learned Lords had said all that needed to be said. Lord Macnaghten. who was entirely free from any love of advertisement, did not care to traverse groond already occupied. Indeed, he would suppress a judgment already prepared and printed; and, what meat have been still harder, would even expunge a joke.
