Mr. Bailey told Mr. Martine that if the latter eras not wining to abide hy the decision "f the caucus he o mid lea\e it, Whereupon the New Jersey Senator put on his hat and left the meeting in a rage.

President Porfirlo Dias, In a letter read by the president ol tin- chambei of deputies, tins afternoon, resigned the presi? dency of the republic of Mexico and . t exactly 4:54 o'clock the acceptance of the renunclatl >n by the deputies was announced. Every one had ex? pected an uproar and demonstration when the announcement should he made, but within the chamber the words of the president announcing the event were followed i>y a dead silence. The deputies teemed awed by what had taken place. Strei ts loading to the hall were Ailed with people, and the news that Diaz was at last n o more the president was the signal for the wildest shout? ing and manifestations. TheVe was no violence nor destruction of prop? erty. The motion was offered to accept the president's resignation. One hun? dred and sixty-seven deputies voted aye, while two of them did not ex? press themselves. They were Benitc Jaurez, a descendant of President Juarez, and Conception Del Valle. As their names were called the legisla? tors arose and bowed their athrnia tion. In similar fashion the resignation of Vice President Ramon Corral, now in France, was unanimously accepted and similarly Krancisco Leon de Is Harra, late ambassador to Washing? ton, was chosen provisional president The latter will take the oath of office at noon tomorrow in the yellow par? lor of the national palace. Of scarcelj less interest in the popular mind was the practical assumption of military control of the federal district by Al? fredo Rohles Dominguez, Madero's personal representative.

WEATHER BUREAU PROMISES NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF. Inconsiderable Rainfall Yesterday Apparently Does not Mean thai More is Coming?Dry Period is One of the Longest in Past Thirty eight Years and is Worst so Par T his Century. Charleston, May ;;.*>.?Notwith? standing tiie 'fact that light local showers fell here yesterday after? noon the forecast for today is gen? erally fair, and, according to the weather bureau, there is no heavy rain in sight for this city. The drought bids fair to exceed all re? cords for the past thirty-eight years, or even since the weather department began to keep the precipitation flg ures for this district. Much has been written and said about the damage which the drought has caus? ed to the planters of this vicinity, and it is feared that the dry weather is by no means at an end. The figures compiled by the local Office :>f the weather bureau show that up to and including last night, the precipitation in the Charleston district has been 11.33 inches since the first of January. This is a state of affairs which has not existed here in any previous year of the present century. Between the 19th of April and the 24th of May there has been only one day on which the rainfall has amounted to more than .01 of an inch. This day was May Hi, when .12 inches of rain was measured. In the month of January there were live days upon which there was sufficient rain to be measured. ."he total fall was only .56. The normal for the month was 3.45 inches and the detieieney for the m >rth amount? ed to 2.89 inches. February had mly four days of real rain, although the total was 1.11 inches, or nearly double the rain in January. The normal for this month was 3.41, which made the deficiency for the month 2.30 inches, and the to? tal deficiency since January 15.9 in? ches. In Marth rain fell on four days, making a total of 1.27 inches of rain? fall for the month. Although the amount of rain had increased the normal had increased in ? erea'er j proportion ind the detici? n y from the normal, which wa^> 3.72 Inches, was J.4&, and the total deficiency T.?4, April o?uwtiu more rain tnan any other month so far this year, this month having seven days of rain and a total precipitation of 1.7 4 inches. The normal was also less in April, amounting to only 2.99, and the de? ficiency for the month was only 1.25. This made the total deficiency since the first of the year 8.89. The month of May has a normal rainfall of 3.4 7. With the highest amount of all the early months of the year as a normal tall, this May has thus far had the worst record of the year. There has been only one day in the month upon which the ram amounted to more than .01 inches. This was the 10th, .12 inches falling up ?i, that day The total amount for this month thus far has been .13 in? ches, The deficiency from the nor? mal for the part of the month that has already passed is 2.44 inches, and there is a possibility that it may be 3.34 inches. From these figures it may be seen that there have been but 23 days in tin- ill days which have passed since January 1. on which the rainfall amounted to .01 inches or more. io this period, there has been only one small Stretch >f time in which what might be termed a normal amount of rain fall. This period was from the 5th to the 15th of April. Record-Breaking Drought in Colum? bia. Columbia. May 24.?This is the longest drought on record at the Co? lumbia weather bureau for the April-May-June season in twenty-five years. The next longest drought in a quarter of a century was eighteen days, Up to Tuesday night it had not rained here in twenty-three days, and there are no Indications ?>f any heavy rain in the near future.

Quoten From Ruling by Judge Tali Which Indicates Presidents Ideas1 of Restraint of Trade. Washington. May 25.?Still as op-1 posed to the majority opinion of the i supreme court of the United States In the Standard < >il case as he was on the day that opinion was announced, Associate Justice Harlan today tiled in court his formal dissenting opini >n in that cuit. His oral attack on the court for holding that only unreasonable or undue restraint of trade are in vio? lation of the law furnished the out? line for today's broadside against the opinion. He went further, however, and criticised the court for modifying the decree of the lower court so as t'j permit the subsidiary companies to enter into agreements among them? selves and expressed a conviction that instead of the opinion giving quiet* and rest to the business of the country it would throw business into confu? sion and invite widely extended and harassing litigation, the injurious effect of which would be felt fort many years to come. Ever since the case was decided Justice Harlan has been preparing his dissenting opinion and It was not et mplete until today. One of the last changes made, it is said, was to in? sert a cpuotation from the decision of Judge Taft, now President Taft, in the Addiston Pipe case, In which Judge Taft said that according to the de cision of the supreme court all re BtralntS, whether reasonable or un reasonasble under the common law, were forbidden by the statute.
