Hl'ERTA vnLL D. *>:iH (iive I'n Place a* Prousioiuil I HRnlPr ef P Make Lascimtiti S'tyh. El Pasco. April 3.?To satisfy all factions in th-e Mexican melee, Gen. Heurta has agreed to the naming of Pedro Lascurian as provisional president!. said advices h^re today directly from the national capital. Lascurian would serve out the uncompleted term T th^ late President Madero. As minister of exterior relations in "Madero's former cabinet, Lascurian !s entitled to serve- as next in line, in view of the deaths of Madero and ?uarez. The Huerta cabinet would be I retained by the compromise. This arrangement, il is said, has h en offered to tin* consiitutionalists now Iiu111 inu the Huerta government in northern Mexico. It is d clarod that , 'Jov. Carranza of Coahuila lias agreed I and that the Sonora insurrectionists.j j will fail in line. The decision of the: j present provisional president is said | ! to have been occasioned by the recent uprising of Zapata in the South, which places the Huerta forces between two fires. Mexican military men here estimate that Huerta has not more than 14,000 ! troops in all Mexico with, which to j meet the situation. This is even less than Porfirio Diaz possessed in combating the Madero revolution. Mad*TO, on taking office, began recruiting volunteer troops with the ex-insurrecto crops as a basis. In the meantime the regular army was not recruited to normal strength. The 1 desertion to the opposing side of t'K ! majority of the volunteer groups has left the actual government forces far below par. j E>DIETT CABINESS. Gossip Says Mr. Cabiniss Will be Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture. j i Atlanta Journal. Among the numerous and interest-1 ... 1 X ' ins: forecasts bazardeci by ine poini-j cians of the State is one to the effect j that next July when .7. D. Prio? of; Farmington, succeeds J. J. Ooon^r, of 1 Cartersvilk-*, as commissioner of agriculture, he will appoint Emmett Cabaniss, of Maxeys, Oglethorpe county, | to be assistant commissioner of agri- j ulture to succeed .T. J. Brown, whose term expires simultaneously with that of Mr. Cooaer, his chief. More than the usual credence attaching to political rumor is accorded this suggestion. Although Comvni<?sinnpr-eLecf Price nas studiously avoided any intimation as to th" man ! he would select for his assistant, U. re ; are logical reasons as to why he might offer the place to Mr. Cabiniss. To arrive at these reasons one has but to review the events of last fall's i campaign in which Mr. Price, A. 0.; Blalock. of Favetteville, and J. J. | Brown, of Bowman, were the opposing! candidates for the office of commissioner of agriculture. None of the candidates securing a majority of the votes cast, the election was throwr into the Macon convention. At the last minute Blalock turned his strength to Price, who defeated Brown. It was generally reported at the time, and never denied that in return for Blalock's support Price was willing to allow Blalock to name the assistant commissioner of agri-i culture. ' : It was a well known fact during the | campaign before the primary that Cab-! aniss was running with Blalock, and in the event of the later's election h-3 was to oe maae assistant commissiuuer of agriculture. Thus it was quite clear that Cabaniss was Blalock's . choice for the place and there is no reason to assume that the election of Price changed his attitude. Mr. Cabiniss is one of the best known farmers in the State, and is an ex- , president of the Georgia division of ( the Farmer's union. He has served Oglethorpe county in the legislature , and was instrumental in securing legislation of great benefit to th~ agri- ; cultural interests of the State. Should Mr. Price confirm -expectations by appointing Mr. Cabaniss his action will meet with wide spread approval in; all sections of tb: State. WHALEY A\P HUGHES.
