Spciial to The Times.
Mexico City, Mex., May 17.— Xes-
terday afternoon’s* session of the
chamber of deputies was numerously
attended, owing to tKi fact that it
was understood that the new electoial
law was to be introduce,'
The public this time was not dis-
appointed, as the bill in question,
drafted by the interior department and
signed by Minister Jorge Vera Esta-
nol, was received and read by Secre-
tary NVmesio Garcia Naranjo.
The bill contains 112 articles divid-
ed into eight chapters
The expose do motifs says*
"The legislative chambers will
surely remember the promise con-
tained in the presidential message
read at the session of April 1st, last,
with respect to a revision of tlio elec-
toral laws in order to ensure, as was
then said, the effective participation
in the elections of all citizens capa-
b.'e of knowing what they were doing.
“The revision of she electoral laws
was, it was explained, designed to
secure two main objects, viz: To
define the nature of the election or
vote and to devise a series of meas-
ures for the purpose .of rendering the
suffrage effective and practical.
"la regard to the nature of the
elections, the executive carefully sur-
veyed the various aspects of the prob-
lem
"It had before it the system of the
direct vote as the most adequate ex-
pression of the popular will for the
election of public officials, coupled
with a restriction of the suffrage in
such, form as to admit only such citi-
zens as possessed education enough
lc. enable them to know what they
were about.
"On the other hand, the executive
citizens may be registered and from
wh'ch those who constitutionally are
not entitled to vote may be excluded.
"Secondly: All citizens are permit-
ted to take part In the verification of
tho electoral register and the pre-
paratory procedure is made public.
“Thirdly: In the primary elections
all interference on the part of the
political authorities is abolished, and
as to the municipal authorities, the
only power given them is fhat of de-
signating the polling officers, In or-
der to obviate the frauds and acts of
violence to which the present system
is apt to give rise; but, on the one
hand, the different political parties are
given the right of objecting to any
polling offictal or officials whose in-
dependence, owing to the nature rf
their occupations, may be doubted,
and on the other hand, it is provided
that the tellers or scrutineers are to
be drawn from the political parties
themselves, thus precluding all frauds
on the part of the authorities in the
computation of the votes.
“Fourthly: The various political
parties are also given the right of ap-
pointing supervisors to he present at
the polling and to be entitled to ob-
tain without delay a certified copy
of the precis.
“Fifthly: At the final elections the
political parties are to enjoy the same
rights, while care is taken to elimi-
nate from the electoral college all
persons in authority and all persons
liable to exercise any sort or pressure.
"Sixthly: The. recognition of said
political parties is the most important
feature of tho amendments proposed
ir. our electoral methods, and affords
the surest guarantee that the renova-
tion of the public powers will be
effected systemstio.ndv, without dis-
turbances of tho peace and in ac-
cordance with the fiat of the nation.
"Political parties, in order to be
recognized, will have to comply with
certain requir -monte guaranteeing
their regular organization, as well as
the seriousness and legitimacy' of
their aims.
"To sum up the new electoral law
is based on iv.o,fundamental princi-
ples, viz,, the publicity of ail acts
connected with the elections, from
the preparatory registration to the
actual polling and the computation of
the votes, and the intervention, sub-
ject to given rules, of political
parties, legally organized in the coun-
try for the purpose ot sustaining
given principles and supporting given
candidates for office.”

NERVY WOMAN IS
VISITING IN PRESCOTT.
Special to The rimes.
Prescott, Ariz., May 17—During the
week and until yesterday, there has
been visiting In the city at the home
of Mrs. W. J. Martin, one of the ner-
viest of women the country has ever
known, Mrs. F. F. Frinnd, of Silver
Bell, In Pima county. It will be re-
called by many that it was Mrs.
Frland who in the early part of 1886
performed a feat that has never since
been equalled, that of being suspend-
ed from the end of a rope over 100
feet long over the precipice of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river,
near where the Bright Angel trail
now courses down thut steep defile.
This feat excited the admiration of
several men, among whom was John
Hance, the acknowledged pathfinder
of that deep gorge, and was witnessed
with breathless anxiety by half a
dozen stalwart men who assisted in
the intrepid trip tff observation this
woman dared to make.
Mr. 1 lance stated at the time that
Mrs. Frland was the first human tc
make this perilous descent and that
her coolness excited the admiration oi
every one. To add to tho seeming
horror of the tourney, on the ttlurn
to the starting point on top, Mrs.
Frland cane up the cliffs hand over
hand with 'he assistance of knots
tied in the rope at close distances
Since that time the has made many
trips up a id down the long and te-
dious trail on foot and disdains any
assistance.
On leaving tho city she goes to
again view the chj and fascinating
scenes of years ago, and says that the
peeps of the tourists of a day or so
reveal hut little of the grandeur and
fascination of this marvelous wolk of
the infinite past.
Mrs. Friand is the wife ot the su-
perintendent of the railroad running
from Red Rock on tho Southern Pa-
cific to Imperial, and this is li r first
visit to Prescott in mai.v ’tars She
contemplates remaining for sum-

Several Rlshee banks havy refused
to cash warrants of .school t-acher*

last month's work. Several teachers
presented the warrants at local brinks
for payment, as they have done in
past months, but the warrants were
not paid.

The story of the Mexican war, re-
called by events on tin- Texas fron-
tier, is a familiar bit of history, otic
of its Incidents, however, only recent-
ly h,lf| become known through the
opening of the diary of President
Polk to students. Tills diary show's
that the ostensible grounds on which
war was declared were shilled at tho
loot minute by the president.
There had been friction between
the United States and Mexleo for sev-
eral years. Property belonging to
American citizens had been destroy-
ed In the insurrections there, mid the
payment of damage claims had fallen
Into arrears, in addition, Texas bad
become a fruitful source of trouble,
and there was great Indignation in
the United States when Mexico de-
clared that the annexation of Texas
would be considered cause of war,
and suspended diplomatic relations.
Polk came Into office at a time
when each country was inflamed
against the other. While the now
president had been called the first
"dark horse" of American polities, he
was a forceful and aggressive charac-
ter, narrow, but determined. He at
once entered on a vigorous policy for
settling Ihe Mexican troubles. As
envoy, John Slidell was sent to Mex-
ico to negotiate with the government,
and General Taylor, with 2,000 men
was ordered to the lilo Grand.-. This
move took Tavlor into territory that
was claimed alike by Texas and Mex-
ico. It was fairly certain to be re-
garded hy Mexico a.s an Invasion, lint
Polk never doubted that the territory
was rightfully Texan, and he deter-
mined to take no chances.
Meanwhile Mexican feeling was so
high that the Mexican president had
been obliged to refuse to receive the
American envoy. When news of this
reached .Washington, Polk derided
that it was time to act. Public irri-
tation was extreme, the war spirit was
aroused and he fell that he would
have the country with him.
On Saturday, May 9, 184*;, the
president called a cabinet meeting
j and went over with his advisers a
| message he intended to send to con-
; grean on the following Monday, call-
j ing for war with Mexico on the
I ground that It had refus-d to pay
i the just. claims, and thal It had -r-
Jeeted the American envoi All th-
members except Bancroft advised
sending the message.
That night w-ord reached Ihe presi-
dent thal a Mexican force hail cross-
ed the Rio Grande and had captne -d
a party of American dragoons. This
news gave him a better bests for ap-
pealing to congress. He had deter-
mined on war. but there would he a
moral advantage in making It appear
to be a defensive war. forced by
Mexico. , So he worked all day Sun-
day revising his message, and laying
on Mexleo the Plante for lit.- war he
was hound should come.
