DIAZ RESIGNS PRES1DENCY. De La Barra Now Provisional Head of Government.-Vice President Also Retires. Mexico City, May 25.-President Porfirio Diaz, in a letter read by the president of the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon, resigned the presiden cy of the Republic of Mexico. Every one had predicted an uproar and demonstration when the an nouncement should be made, but the words of the president, announcing the resignation were followed by a dead silence. Sreets leading to the hall were fill ed with people and the news that Diaz was at last no more the presi dent was the signal for the wAH.J.st sh-iting. There was no violenc. n%r dastrL(tion of property. The motion was offered to accept the resignation. One hundred and sixty. seven deputies voted aye, while two of them did not express them selves. They were Benito Jaurez, a descendant of the president, ano on cepitone Val Velle. As their names were called the legislators arose ana bowed their affirmation. In similar fashion the resignation of Vice President Corral, now in France, was unauimously accepted, and similarly Francisco Leon De La Barra, late' ambassador to Washing ton, was chosen provisional president. President Diaz's letter of resigna tion follows: Diaz's Letter of Resignation. "Sir: The Mexican people, who generously have covered me with hon ors, who proclaimed me as their lead er during the international war, who patriotically assisted me in all works undertaken to develop Mexican indus try and the commerce of the republic, establish its credit, gain for it the re spect of the world, and obtain for it an honorable position in the concert of nations; that same people, sir, have revolted in armed military bands, stating that my presence in the exer eise of the supreme executive power Is the cause of this Insurrection. "I do not know of any fact imputa ble to me which could have caused this social change, but admitting that I may be unwittingly culpable, such a possibility makes me the least able to reason out and decide my own cul pability. Therefore, in accordance with the federal constitution, I come before this body to resign unreserved ly the office of constitutional president of the republic, with which the na tkional Tote honored me, which I do with all the more reason, since in or der to continue in office, it would be necessary to shed Mexican blood, ex haust Mexican resources and expose its policy to international comnplica tions. "I hope that when the passions which are inherent to all revolutions have calmed, a more conscientious and lust study will bring out in the national mind a correct jy~dgment, which, when I die, I may carry gray [ +--n on my soul as a just estimate tor the life which I have devoted and will devote to my countrymen. "With all respect. "Porfirio Diaz." ON DISPENSARY BUSINESSi Lyon Back From North-Liquor Cas es.-Felder Comingi Columbia, May 27.-Attorney Gen eral Lyon returned to his office today from Baltimore, where he went upon business connected with the office of attorney general. Mr. Lyon also vis ited New York and Washington when he was North. He stated unreserved ly that he went to Baltimore upon official business, probably dispensary 'matters, but he did not disclose for publication the exact nature o the business. Asked about the dispensary trials. Mr. Lyon stated that he had written Solicitor Cobb that rather than have the trials at this term of court he would see the cases nol-prossed. He did not consider that it was to the best interests of the State to have thec cases brought to trial at this term. This was the announcement that So licitor Cobb made a le's uau .go when John Black, John Beli Towill, L. W. Boykin and W. 0. Tatum press ed, through counsel for trial. Mr. Lyon was asked whether the would be ready at the next term. It was the understanding that upon this point the solicitor was to confer with him. Mr. Lyon stated t'iat he had not con sidered this feature yet and that prob ably his announcemnt as to intentions along this line 'would come later. The next term of criminal court her is September. Mr. Lyon 'had no state ment to make today as to the possi bility of trials at the next term.

Spartanburg Journal. If the people of this city wish to have swarms of mosquitoes this sum mer they can have them. But it is an easy matter to prevent them if every family will do its full duty. It is impossible for -the health de partment to cause the inspection of the back yards and lots of every fam ily living in this city. The citizens must attend to this matter. Let no vessels of water stand long without changing the water. A two-gallon vessel kept in an odd corner of the yard or under a building will 'breed mosquitoes enough for a dozen fami lies. They cannot breed in running water, nor in vessels in which the wa-I ter is frequently changed. If there is! no stagnant water in the city there will be no mosquitoes. On the little streams near the city there are little stagnant holes where a few are raised. The winds scatter them and some drift to the city, When -they find stagnant water they deposit eggs and in a few days the "wiggle-tails" appear and next the mosquito. It is believed by some that they~ breed in thick vines and shrubbery. That is impossible. They hide in day time in such places and sharpen their bills during the day so as to get in their work at night. Any filthy hole where dirty water settles and remains affords a good breeding place. If every householder will do his duty and the city council will look after *the traps in the drains regularly there will be no mosquitoes here this year. Mosquitoes and Malaria. Barnwell People. The chill and fever season ap proaches in localities where there is stagnant water the favorite breeding places for the smalarious mosquitoes. These chill and fever causing mosqui-1 toes bite only after dark and if people living where such mosquitoes exist' can keep them out of their rooms and remain indoors from before dark until sunrise they will escape chill and fev er attacks. The United States govern ment says so. It also says that 5 grains of sulphate of quinine taken daily by a grown person for a period of four months will free the body from all malarial parasites. The Second Dimension. Youth's Companion. It was on a little branch railway in a Southern State that the New Eng land woman ventured to refer to the high rates. "It se'ems to me five cents a mile is extortion," she said, with frankness, to her Soutbern cousin. "It's a big lot of .money to pay if you think of it by the 'mile," said the Southerner, in 'her soft drawl, "but Iyou just think 'how cheap it is by the hour, Cousin Annie--nly 35 cents."
