Mexico, Feb. J 7 ? Two hundred
million pesos are to be raised. If
the Huerta government cau swing
the deal, for the purpose of re
habilitating Mexico. The Mexican

establishing peace and getting the
l?eopl ba?k to the farms and the
factories.
A few of the states have refused
to recognbe Huerta as the presi
dent, and are still fighting for the
Madero party, but slowly the revo
lutionists are taking over the disaf
fected elements and it is hoped
that a strong government will be
built up from the ruins of the civil
war t
| Washington, Feb. 27 ? The pro-j

i the situation by restoring peace In
all the stales.

ed troops to all points that require

Chas. Black, a Scotchman about
thirty years of age was instantly
Killed this morning shortly after
three o'clock by falling from the <
Moore wharf to the rocks fifteen or
twenty feet below.
The deceased in company with '
Krvlne Lambert and a few of the
men from the Princess May were
spending the night up town where ;
they imbibed rather freely of the
uup that cheers. Shortly before
the accident happened Black and
l^ambert left for a return to the
boat; they were somewhat under
the Influence of liquor, and Night i
Police Geo. Carson escorted them i
to the entrance of the wharf and
pointed out the way they should go. i
Mr. Lambert In his story to
Judge Conway, who called a cor- i
oner's Inquest at 2 o'clock this af
ternoon, states that the two were
walking to.vard the boat, stagger
ing somew.iat, and that Black reel
ed over to the west side of the
dock and disappeared in the dark
ness Lambert heard the man fall
and he returned and ran at once
to the Dewey hotel and summoned
Mr. Clemenger, then returning he
ran to the boat and told his com
panions thit Black had fallen over
board They secured ropes and
two of the boatmen accompanied
him to the spot where the deceased
had fallen over. There they found
that an engineer off the May *w
down on the, tide flat* holding
Black above the water, I,ambert
jhlnned down a piling and the two
lied a rope to the dead man and
those who had assembled pulled
the body up. The Dewey bus had
arrived n the meantime and the
body was taken to the hospital
where Dr. Brawand examined It.
Dr. Bran-and said that the fall
had produced concussion of the
hraln, that the temporal bone of
the skull had been crushed and
other wounds appeared on the head
which must have caused Instant
death There was no water In the
lungs, which precluded the theory
i-f drowning.
Black' was one of the waiters on
th? Princes ? May.
Testimony relating to the man
ner of his death Is being taken
this afternoon in Judge Conway's
court, before a coroner's Jury, and
lit the time of going to press, no
verdict has been reached.
When the man fell front the
* hnrf the tide was out, but before
h<? was taken from where he bsd
:?llen, the incoming tide had wash
i <1 over the body, which started the
rumor that he had been drowned

song because of the fabled story
that a swan sings a melody when it
is dying, hence the application to
a political dead one.
