Investigation Promised. After the engagement on the road to the prison, Commandant Cardenn reported to the military commander who conducted him to Oeneral Huer ta. The president. summoned his cabinet, and after apprising his ministers of tho occurrence, issued nn official announcement. News Received Quietly. Uoth president and ministers deeply deplore the affair and decided upon a full investigation to fix the responsibility ami. to punish the guilty. Already formal .action haa been taken by the authorities, and the members of tho escort are under arrest pending the Inquiry. In hip capacity as'mln later of foreign relations, Senor do la itiirm addressed a noje l'o the dipli matte corps giving an account of the killing .and .assurances bf a thorough investigation. - _ There-aro no signs of a demonstrn tion In- the central ■ pnrt.-*of the city during the day. Tho news wa« reeeiv Pd quietly and apparently philosophically. This-was due perhaps not only to, the fact thiit the majority seems to b-> In favor of the present government, but because thc people are still overawed because of the developments of the last two weeks. Over 100 members of the British colony have sent a memorial to the American ambassndor expressing "appreciation for the able mnnner in which the ambassador has. handled the delicate situation cuused by the recent disturbances." The momorln! extends sincer thanks "for tho help afforded all for eigners by the American embassy without distinction of nationality, nnd more espocliilly all Hrltish residents. Deeply Deplored. Francisco de la Barra, the foreig minister, sent an official statement to th-3 foreign diplomatic representatives, In which hc said: "Tho department of foreign relations desires to make known, as already announced to the ambassador or the United Stales, th0 British minister and other members of the diplomatic corps on various occasions that the government decided that all acts relating to Madero and lino Suurez should bo adjudicated strictly according to law, hi- was due, and that in consequence the accusation process, If such had taken place, would not have departed one loto frpm the legal measures, as applicable to the case. That after making this decision the government agreed to,remove Madero ond Stn'irei! to the ponltent'lnry, where they would have the necessary security, consideration and comforts, 'That yesterday morning the minis of forelgh relations so informed Ambassador Wilson, saying that the government would proceed as always In accord with thc law und that the removnl of the ex-president and the ex*vice-president to the penitentiary would b0 for the reason afore-indicated. "That It Is expected that with the' passing of time passions would be subdued and calm contentment would com,; to the republic. "i desire to give all the facts of which I am cognizant connected with tho affair of last . night, which Is deeply deplored both for sentiments of humanity and because of the affair which has surprised the government and the Importance of which Is not underestimated by the government. Liberation Attempted. 'Lnst night about 11:30 o'clock I was called with all haste to the national palace by the chief staff of the president, An automobile was sent with an nldc lo take me, as well as the secretary of the interior, Alberto; Q. Oranndos, Surprised by the unusual call, I attempted to talk' by telephono with General Blanquet, the' military commander, who mado known that something serious had occurred.j On our arrival at midnight at the' •palace the president explained that* Francisco Madero and Jose Pino Su-' arcs., while beng conducted to tho! penitentiary ln automobiles, wore kill-; ed in ah encounter which the escort,! guarding the prisoners, had hud with' a group of individuals who attempted to liberate the two men. Investigation Ordered, 'pther members of the cabinet' naV-1 In*,' arrived, It Was agreed that it was en absolute necessity- for' the honor of tho government that not only should It proceed into a. minute Investigation of this act, according to. the law, but, going further, that Immediate notlcip should be given to the chief attorney of the military court, Jose Yasiiuez Tagle, that hc, with the judge advocate, should make Investigations and consign those responsible whoever they might be to custody, and that he proceed to examine them In conformity with the law. It was agreed also that Attorney-General Castonnellos, whose energy and competency are well known, should take action in this most un fortunate affair, Fired on Escort. '•According to the reports which President Huerta received and com munlcatedto his ministers, a ifroup of five persons nt a point about halfway between the palace and the pcnl tfchtlary fired upon the chauffeur bf one of the automobiles which was tin der eBcort. The order was given icr more speed. Shortly afterward an other group more numerous, sallied from' the cross streets, firing on thej escort It 'seems that Madero- and Sbarcz at this point attempted escape. "President Huerta communicated to the nilnlsters the news of the death of the ex-presldent and ex-vice-president,, adding that there was another person killed und two persons wounded, according to the information he had at .the moment, without being exact as' to which group these belonged. He also informed the ministers that there had been some arrests. Punishment Promised. * ."The secretary of foreign nffnlrs, echoing the feeling of the government nnd moved by the personal Sentiments Which have caused lilni to view with horror the shedding of hlond outside of those cases wherein the law has imposed the punishment, not only laments the affair, but Is convinced that the honor of the republic demands a careful Investigation and exemplary punishment for those who may be found guilty of this act."

BISHOP CONDEMNS CHURCH VOICE Recommends Pin Under Chin- for Clergymen With Theatrical Throat —Voice Training Needed (By Daily News Leased Wire.) -LON.DnN. Feb. 23.—Four hlnl npii expressed their views in the upper house of convocation of Canterbury on the present style of; Intonation by tbe old-fc-y ln many parishes and, a resolution wo.*i adopted to,tlie effect that ■ evidence of training In 'the production of tho natural voice in public reading and-public speaking should be regarded as a necessary preliminary requirement for -iiimissinii to the'deaconuto. The Bishop of Chichester condemned "the church voice." Many a time*, he said, one came across a clergyman Who spoke very nicely oulRide of the church, but immediately he got on his legs or on his knees ln tho church he lost hlR nntnral voice, and spoke |n the miserable "church voice." His lordship suggested a remedy for. the theatrical throat, .which he said, was cultivated by bowing the head when reading* "I wish," he continued, "that every voung clergyman would have a pin with Us point upward just under his chin. It Is simple, but a cure for those clergy who lower their head during the reading of the lessons, which," he added, "is the most melancholy thing In tho church today."

CRAWFORD BAY FRUITGROWER8 ■ ENDORSE RESOLUTION (Speolal to The Daily News.) CBA-W-F.ORD BAY, R C, Feb. 23.— At a meeting of the fruitgrowers of, the district a resolution was unanimously passed endorsing the resolution adopted at the Central Farmers' in-; stltute convention at Victoria, asking] the government to Institute a, central selling agency for the whole of British Columbia. It is felt that if all* that fruitgrowing districts in the four states to the south, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana can combine to form such an agency, it Is not too big a scheme for the whole of British Columbia. And further, if district selling agencies only were formed, of which at least half a dozen would be needed throughout the province, competition in prices nnd Improper distribution would still ensue;' a central selling agency for all the district organizations, appearing the only remedy for these two evils. A number of ranchers were very much disappointed that the change in steamer schedule came just before the fruitgrowers meeting in Nelson on Tuesday, as thoy would greatly have liked to have attended same; but to do so under the present service would have entailed spending three nights In Nolson. There Is considerable difficulty being experienced at present to locate a site for the new government school here, which would meet with general approval. At a meeting held recently to endeavor to come to some definite decision in the matter Commander Harrison and W. B. Strathearn were appointed' to' look over the various sites offered, and falling any agreement on their part, W. Fraser was elected to act as referee. Much Interest was felt locally In the announcement appearing; In Tuesday's Issue of The Daily News as to the Canadian Pacific railway's decision to build a fast and commodious gasoline launch for the West Arm service, as It Is- -confidently anticipated Vhat this point should materially benefit In transportation facilities when same Is placed in commission, anil (-.hating party for the former.

One enthusiastic gardener, whose garden last year was the envy of Proctor, has been scouring the neighborhood for geranium cuttings, and It is probable that these will be at a premium In these parts when the sprjng arrives, . On Monday, how; ever, the frost returned, much to the delght of those who are keen on bobsleighing- of which sport there has been, very little this winter, On Wednesday people wore out "bobbing" on both Bides of the river,'and on the Balfour side there was what might have been a nasty accident. A party, were coasting down' the hill from Edmondson's ranch to the beach, when, on nearing the bottom of the hill, something went wrong with the works, -and the bob. left -the track, struck a fallen log and sent the whole party flying ln all-directions..

'' The - bobsleigh Was smashed to pieces... A mmor accident occurred on the same evening on the Proctor aide, Miss, Young being the chief sufferer. On Thursday evening a .party, of about 80 members went .,out trying the cjub run on the Balfour side from the Canadian Paclflo hotel to Balfour church, which was found to be in excellent order, aiid the sport waa carried on until about midnight. Friday was the night. The secretary of the Outlet Sports club, R. S. Francis, had given notice of a club meeting to be held on the road from Holmes' ranch to Ford's landing, and a large party of some 60 enthusiasts turned up, including many ladies. The meet was held at the junction of two roads, abbut half a mile up the hill from the Canadian Paclflo railway track, and a curious assortment of sleighs of all sorts and sizes arrived, from the flexible flyer to hold two, to the old bus to hold six. The sleigh for real sport was one made by an.amateur at Balfour, the runners being all in one piece about six feet long, and no steering apparatus. This, when dono at all, was done by leaning, the front man calling out to those behind him "right,", "left." Sometimes It negotiated the journey in safety, much to tin* delight of its owner and occupants. At. the top of the run the secretary and a few friends had thoughtfully provided refreshments. in the shane of hot coffee, cakes, buns, etc.,': which with the thermometer at 10 above zero, were much appreciated. A magnificent moonlight night, a huge bonfire with billy cans suspended above, a .circle of bright-eyed happy young, people seated and standing round It .sipping coffee, and; little parties of twos and threes sitting'on fallen logs or standing outside the circle in the shadow of the Surrounding trees—such Is the picture which will be long remembered by all those Who took part In tills most enjoyable evening. There were several spills, but owing to the excellent arrangements made by the committee for starting the sleighs and returning, and keeping the course clear, there were no accidents whatever.

SAN tHANCISCO, Cal./ 28*—"Har- ■le'rii'* Tommy Murphy of New Tork and former lightweight champion AI, Wolgast, fought 20 terrific rounds to a draw this afternoon. For tho first 10 rounds, Murphy had the better of the battel,.biit he tired,and Wolgast evened up affairs by Inflicting severe body punishment as the fight neaired the final round.. Both men sustained considerable punlBhment and were weakening fast as the end drew new. Experts express the. opinion' that Wolgast had completely recovered from-his operation. The decision was popular. Wolgast literally fought himself to the point of .collapse lin- the gruelling 20 rounds. > Murphy, tod, was tottering when the fight ".ended, biit it waa apparent that hWreserve-' was greater than that of his b*:">orifeht. Wolgast fought his best battle since his illness of -two yearB agd, but the old dash WAS lacking. Systematical application of tremendous-right and left'drives to tho body in the final rounds enabled Wolgast to earn a division of the honors. Throughout the 20 rounds there was little, if any, Idle time. Murphy took the bit in his teeth at the outset and It Was not long before he had battered his man's faoe almost to a pulp. Raold fire rights and lefts to the face delivered at dose range, seldom went amiss, ahd when the contest Was half over tho Harlem boy seemed in a fair way to wlii. ** Wolgast meanwhile was content to husband his strength, although the punishment he landed carried more than his opponent. Wolgast's only hope lay In this direction, and from the 10th devoted his attacks almost entirely to Murphy'S mid-section. Time and attain after bolng worked in heartbreaking rallies, which aP but carried the belligerents from tne ring, he Would reach his opponent's stomach With rights and lefts, the Impact of Which Was heard In the remotest corner of the arena.

A vicious rally in the last 10 seconds by Rivers did not overcome Brown's lead In this round. Both seemed tired when they came un for tho tenth. Brown sent two hard lefts to the head and a right to River's stomach. Then the Mexican caught Brown on tho point of the jaw as the latter ducked. Brown went spinning half way across the ring and fell heavily. Four times he arose, only to bo sent down-again. He was "out on his* feet" when tho last savage awing sent lilm to his back in the centre of lhe ring and the fight was stooped.

It is not a smooth book, and il is- nol easy. Carlylo seems to have chosen the must dlffledll method, us though lie desired the approvitl and comprehension of those only who were capable of winning through tlie formidable out-works of Ills thoug-ht. lie had gnaed long and pondered deeply tlie age hi which he found himself, and declared it hnd to he had.

Far away in Craigenputlock, Thomas I'arly'e brooded over the chaos, and in 1XU0 bis brdo'dlngs hrought forth the strangest worded piece of philosophy England had ever known. All the traditions of hook writings were flout cd. It was not only that Cnrlyle did nol write down to the comprehension of the crowd, he did not write up to llio comprehension of the select few, the savants, the scholars, the phi!o?o- pblcally minded, be flouted all by transcending all. "Sartor Rosarlus" :n those days, In the pages of "Pras- er's Magazine," must have read . Ilk*; chaos, and many of "Fraser's" subscribers said so, demanding Its suppression. For just as It was not formal philosophy, so was it nothing else formal ard familial'. People debated the es- istence of Teufelsdrockh; they wondered whether the book was a irans lation; It was thought too long; too ambiguous; loo dull; too pedantic; too vague; flashes of poetry were admitted here and there, but on the whole It was badly written, over-vehement, an insane sort of a book which would win nothing but ihe forget fulness men.

BLACK, MIXED & GREEN. followed. Hut there the matter ended 'so far as lhe nations, as nations, woro concerned, Tho teaching of "Sar-f.br Resarlus" has been ignored and the evils denounced by Thomas Carlylo have developed and spread over the ■world. Yat few hooks 'have had- so deep an Influence. Hs strong vision has penetrated many minds; Us exalted prose has Influenced manv pens. But the fact that its Influence has been deep rather than broad Is an cat-nest of Its greatness. Thu Ideal book would strike far as well as deep, but such hooks happen onee or twice iu aeons of time, not eentuHus; such books ure Hlbles, and "Sartor Resur- tus" is not that. On the contrary. It Is a peculiarly local book: local to its dav, and* wllh some slit-lit modifications, to ours; Its truths, like truth as conceived by tlie imagination, an eternal In essence, but modern In an* plication; and yet one cannot conceive tbe lime-when such chapters as "The IQverlasiing Yea" and "Symbols!1 will be out-nioded. Theso are epic In philosophic vision, eternal so long as man exists, superhuman may discard th*m, but even that Is doubtful. The grealness of "Sartor" depends upon bigness and brightness of vision -couched in equal prose. Carlylo said In that book what most needed saying, and If lie said it in such a way that few could understand him, it was not Ids fault. Few understood him because lew cared sufficiently; (few would lake the trouble. Those who did were of the best—John Ruskin, for instance—and they saw with the seer of Oniigenpnt- tock—-and (hat fuel has to bu recorded in Carlyle's favor. High-Seriousness and Humor But It Is not necessary at Mils date lo defend "Mut'tor" or dal'Iyle; the man ami his books have stood the test of kicks and praise. No oilier hook of the nineteenth cenlury has anything approaching "Sartor's'- high-wrought splendor of Idea and' ei'atlsmausliip. Its very faults of style and form, the complexities of its German framework, are but proofs of its greatness. The book as a* book, the prose' aa uroHo, thu idea ns idea, survive all such liinder- ances and diflcultles, and when you have said your worst -Tilr It, "Sartor Rosurtus'" rises out. of tne trouble Implacable and serene; a masterpiece among masterpieces. i T,11o''liii!-.it'eenlli eeului"y was rich 111 great prose works—John" Henry Newman's "Apologia pro Vit-v'-sun"' Charles Rondo's "Cloister and tho Hearth"; Pater's "Marius- the Kplcurean"; Uus- kla's "Unto this Lasl'"; "Meredith's "Kgoisl"; * Macau lay's "History of England."; Hardy's "Ju'de the Obscure," .to say nothing'uf noble bul less sustained masterpieces like the prefaces of Wordsivoi'lh, the essays pf Lamb, Shelley, Hazitt, Stevenson and linear Wtlde, but none create rpilie the same impression of towering thought and inimitable art, hor do any of thom approach the magnitude of harmony. Carlylo touches .all themes in this amazing book; ho plays the organ of thought ouual.y well with all slops out and with one. lie thunders and frowns, scolds and fumes, but he can be as 'inlet us a whisper, as tender as a caress. No other hook in Lhe English language can combine such high seriousness With humor without falling into pomposity, sentimentality, or mere funnl- ness. When you laugh with Carlylo you laugh with the gods. When you walk with him you walk upon Olympus. Rut you walk there and laugh there as n man; Cnrlyle docs not arrogate himself greater power nor greater dignity tlian-manllness. He is the last and biggest of the humanists, and though ever so big, he always meet;? you as a brother. Keying-Up the Spirit The strange and inspiring book which reveals the philosophy of clothes, reveals also Thomas Curlyle. But Ingenius researches'Into its place names and other autobiographical characteristics are of llttlo use. ".Sar- tor Hesartns" is the world of man upropbs of Carlyle. < As such it ha** played Its pari and. left its mark. Meredlt'li-coiicelvetl the art of the pi-ji.-aa a means oi arousing the Inward vision, and no other English writer of the last eenlurv strove more to that ohd ihan Carlylo—-uxifej-'. perhaps, Meredith himself, who learnt much from, him, learnt at -least that vivid method df springing, as he »aid, "Imagination with a word or phrase," "Sartor Resartus" does little else; it does nut explain, it Intimidates hy flashing, vision ufter vision upon llio mind, by keyiiig-up the' spirit lo ecstacy without losing touch with earlh. Since the book was written philosophers and scientists have sought out many inventions, bill 1 know of no other work of Its kind whicli has stood su well the test of lime. This is due In no small measure to Oarlyle's hai: of standing high above catchwords and cant phrased. He does nol risk being pigeon-holed or Imprisoned In a category; ho keeps lo the broad highway. Even his insistence upon duty and Idealism — which might he uuestlonod by the modern nmmoralist—Is; not so -old- faphloned as a superficial observation would lend one to believe, Cnrlyle is no advocate of blind and formal duties and ideals; duties and ideals for him are not less than the Intuitions and uoeds of lhe moderns. They Ho within thu man and not without, and thus delermino his value when expressed. BRITISH SHIPBUILDING.

PARIS, Feb. 23.—President Poin- caro'a first act in appointing M. Tlie- ophili" pelcasse, ono of the strongest men politically in Prance, as ambassador to St. Petersburg, <juKo oelipsed his first words, and the sensation over the appointment of tho former minister uf murine, caused ' the inaugurul message of the now president to be almost ignored In the comments of the press. Thc post at St. Petersburg has always been a. difficult otic for the republic tu fill, us It needs a man who, besides Being a competent diplomat, must also bo wealthy. Ills work would hu facilitated still more lf ho held :i title or wus a high military ur naval officer. Such a combination is not easy to find. Tho Marquis de Moiftc- bello filled thc bill while M. Loubot waa president.' M. Bompurd, who followed him, was merely an excellent functionary. Armiral Louclmrd, who succeeded Bompurd', was merely a fine sailor. Then came George Lewia, who Iiad tor it long lime fulfilled the duties of permanent foreign secretary at thc Quui d'Orsay. The success uf tlio latter holder of th,, ufflee may bi- gath-.'rei. from the words attributed to President Poincare after his visit tu Russia lust August, when ho sold; "Wc arc nut -represented at the czar's iurt," IE current ropprts are to be believed, M. Briand tried to induce several tu accept tho office, among them being thc Marquis de Breteull, who was the host ef thc prince of Wales, before ho asked M. Delcusse to take tlie place. The latter's necepUinco uf the ambassadorship is welcomed unanimously by popular opinion, which was pleased at his return to office as minister of marine in BUI. He considers his appointment as u further retaliation en Germany for forcing his retirement in 1906. Tlie Temps says all good Frenchmen rejoice at M. Deleasse's appointment. It credits the new ambassador with preparing the triple entente and says that history will eventually recognize him as the man who organized the Eurono balance of power. It goes on to say: "It would be superfluous tu say that M. Delcasse would ho in bis place lit any of our embassies, but be would be nowhere so useful as at St. Petersburg. It is hu indiscretion toduy lo reveal tlio, fact Unit the-members of the Russian royal family and tlio high Russian notables have often said sine* liMHi: 'Why uo you not send us *' Delcasse'.'' " The comments of the Klgaro are most'* Interesting because tlie editor ut that imper has been p. most persistent opponent of M. Delcasse and has al ways ascribed the political troubles ol h'ntneo in connection with .Morocco and ail the navy disasters to iilm alone. This paper calls the appointment a clever measure. It adlmts that hc possesses many qualities which aro suitable to un ambassador although he was Impossible as a foreign minister or premier.- He possesses an im-; mensc fortune through h|s wife, who iwlll rccotvo wllh Urent affability in the name of France, and he will revive the lustre of tho embassy in St. Petersburg, which has been somewhat dimmed since the time ot the Marquis de Montobcllo. Tho Figaro denies that AT. Delcasse has effected anything since he has been minister of marine exeep1 what Ids predecessor had prepared' It says: "The only place suitable for him was nn embassy and the only embassy possible was the one to Russia. The others wero closed against him by his famous policy of Isolating Germany and his mania for secret treaties." Premier Briand, whose relations With AI. Delcasse have never been cordial, -a accused by some, including AI. Juarez, the Socialist leader, of having suggested the appointment be- cuiise he wished to remove the strongest candidate who would be likely to 'replace him as prime minister. Juarez also says tho czar had expressed a wish that Delcasse should be appointed to tho post. He adds that At, Delcasse lias repeatedly said within the past two years that thc kaiser had become convinced of his (Deleasse's) pacific Intentions. Perhaps the czar's well-known antipathy to new'faces had some influenc-' on tlie appointment of the new ambus- sador„ RT, Delcasse hns visited St. Petersburg on three different occasions and wus at Compeigne when tho czar visited Franco. AT. Delcasse was active journalist until about 20 years ago. LORD KNOLLY8 RESIGNS (By Dally News Leased Wire.)

HOME RULE DISCUSSION BY IRISH PAPERS (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Feb. 23.—Two interesting opinions on home rule are forthcoming In yesterday's Irish papers. The Freeman's Journal, discussing imperial relations on the subject and American sympathy, expresses the opinion thnt "there was never any more tnith In the legend that American sympathy with tho Irish cause was moved and motived by hostility to the Brit- ■ish empire than ln the legend that all Trlsh home rulers were seuavatlsts bent unon the destruction of'the empire. Thc present demonstration of sympathy proves that among those Americans who moat strongly support the Irish cause nre the men who feel most keeniv an attraction of kinship to lhe •British people. Th,. fact proves how fruitful Ihe seed of peace among l-'iig- lish-speaking races Cor the concilia- lion of Ireland is bound t-- be," The Belfast Northern "Whig shows pronounced feeling In regnri] to the unopposed return of Major McAlniont Cor East Antrim to this' effect: "If the country was given ponce for another 10 years, home rule would never be heard of outside of debating societies, yet the government seems foolish enough to risk civil war for a dying cause. Bast Antrim represents the opinion of protestnnt Ulster and When Major McAlmoht goes to nariin- ment next month, he will take n message to the government that Ulster will ■never submit to be ruled by a home 'rule (parliament," JEWS ARE BOYCOTTED IN RUSSIAN POLAND (By Daily Mews T.-.nseci Wire.) .
