Washington, Feb, 13.—In the opinion of the sta’e department officials the revolution.ry movement in Mexico has degenerated into mere guerilla warfare, the so-called insurrectos being hope- lessly divided,with 2ach would-be lead- er acting on his own initlative, and without any commanding figure around whom they may rally. The main concern of the department at present is that some of these irre- sponsible leaders may fall into ways of mischiaf and may:be led into an in- fringement of the rights of American citizens, which is one explanation of the gathering of .a_considerable num- ber of United States troops along the Western end of-the boundary line be- tween -California and_Arizona on oni side and Mexico on the other, EXPLOSION AT MANAGUA.

Dr. New- man Smyth, pastor emeritus of the Center church, New Haven, and-a leader in the hation-wide movement for church unity among Protestant de- nominations, this afternoon oddressed the Hartford ministérs’ meeting upon “First_Steps Towards Church Unity.” He said in part: “The first practical step towards a real church unity was taken last Oc- tober by the action of the general co- ference of. the Episcopal church, call- ing a world conference of Christian bodies on the questions of faith and order, together with the simultaneous action of the matiomal council of. the Congregational churches appointing a committee to consider any such over- tures, The Episcopal commission’ are now ‘at' work- putting -themselves, as fast as possible, into communication with other churches and doing the necessary preliminary business for this, great undertaking. Real Work to-Be Done. “This movement means that church unity is_to be no longer a platform question ofly, or a pulpit vision to Dbe postponed to the, millenium; some- thing is to be done about It. 'The business of it has already entered in- to the committee stage. Much per- sonal correspondence is being pursued between representatives of ~ different churches; it is to be followed up by conversational discussions around the table of existing differences and pos- sible ways of reconciliation, by mu- tual conferences for better - under- standfig at conyenient centers throughiout the country, possibly also Dy the publication of papers concern- ing ‘essential matters, in short, by a campaign of mutual education.

It s possible that the department will direct that manikins be distributed about the ship, the figures bearing gauges which will register the amount of pressure de- veloped by the contact of the shells.

He! will sail from New Orleans Wednesday for Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, where he will be met by the American gunboat Tacoma and taken fo Puerto Cortes. Details of the instructions given to Mr. Dawson by the state department are withheld for the present. But it is known that his purpose is to reconcile the conflicting factions in Honduras upon the basis of a plan to allow the Ppeople of the republic an opportunity %o express their preferences absolutely without duress in the selection of a president and congress. As a. condition Pprecedent it probably will be necessary for the factions to agree upon the as- sumption of executive power by a third party, neither Davilla nor Bonilla, wiho shall ‘hold_office until a general elec- tion can-be held and the successful candidate: for the presidency can be inaugurated. Tt is believed by the offi- cials here that this can be done with- sut any armed intervention by the United States. With that expectation the course to be followed would be like that adopted in the case'of Cuba,where by the good oftices of the United States the people were insured a fair and frea election. OPENED DEBATE ON CANADIAN RECIPROCITY. Bill' Expected to Pass When Vote is Taken Toda: ‘Washington, Feb. 13.—Interest deeper than that which ordinarily attends to sessions in the senate and house at- tracted a large attendance of members ‘and spectators in both branches of congress today. In the house today business was signalized by the openihg of debate upon the proposed reciprocal tariff agreement with Canada, which, after a close and spirited contest, ba- ‘came the order of business for the day, supplanting the District of Columbia Dbill that,. acéording to the calendar, was .to_have been considered.

A ‘test vote occurred today soon af- ter the house was:called -to, order by Speaker Cannon. - Mr. McCall moved the immediate consideration of the bill. This was objected to ostensibly on the groynd that it -was District of Colum- bia_day on the calendar and that im- portant matters affecting the district were pending. When the voting began, however, it soon became apparent that, with com- parativaly few exceptions, the lines were being tightly drawn between those favoring and those opposing the trade agreement. As finally corrected, the vote to take up the bill was 197 to 120. The bill will b passed, it is ex- pected, by even 3 larger majority. To- day 101 republicans voted against im- mediate consideration. This number will show a decided diminution on the fianl_rollcall: Sixty-three republicans voted for immediate consideration.

Mr. Proctor gives one man, Cassius M: Clay of Kentucky, the credit for forcing the ~nomination' of Lincoln from a chaotic disorganized opposition to the regular candidate for the nom- ination, William H. Seward of New York. 'This is how Jay's influence was exerted, as related by Mr. Proc- wor: x “When the convention opened, Mr. Seward’s interests were in the hands of Thurlow Weed, and were well or- ganized. The opposition, of which Horace Greeley was the dominant fig- ure, was absolutely without organiza- tion or community of desire. To show. fow much without aim we were work- | ing; I recall that Mr, Greeley said to us ‘within thirty hours of the time for bal- loting, answering a question as to om we should unite upon to oppose | Seward: think well of Edward Bates of iesouri; he is a strong man, and I| Delieve one of the best we could nom- | inate.’ * Lineeln Lacking “ ‘How ab Gréeley repli Experience. ? we asked, HY\] Lincoln is an adroit pol | itician, ‘he- lacks expérience in publi affairs, and while we are drifting to- ward & crigis.I do not believe the coun- try ‘will trust a man so Jacking in ex- perience in national affdirs.
