El, PASO. Texas, Nov. 22. The Foreign club at Chihuahua was stoned by a moii during the celebration of the anniversary of Mudero's revolution. Tho library window win-dow was broken by bricks, which fell among several members of the club sitting sit-ting in the room at the lime. The Chihuahua Foreign club, one of the largest In Mexico, Is regarded by most "Mexicans as the visible evidence of the envied American coriunerclal supremacy In the northern portion of their country. coun-try. During tlie rebellion against President Diaz last winter, tho more violent of tho partisans of the then existing . regime, most of them officeholders, declared repeatedly re-peatedly that the club was a. hotbed of seditious Americans who were aiding and abetting the cause of Francisco I. Ma- i dero for their own ends. Enrique C. Creel, Jr.. son of the former Mexican minister of foreign affairs, in a torrent of fevered language, resigned Ills membership, while others of his nationality nation-ality noticeably absented themselves from the popular gathering place. Expected Too Much. "With tho inauguration of the Madero administration the club is again an unwelcome un-welcome sight in tho eyes of many Mexicans, Mexi-cans, but for another reason. The peons, and even many of the scnil-cdueated class, despite Madero's declaration to the contrary, believed that the overthrow of Diaz would be succeeded by the expulsion ex-pulsion of Americans, who hold practically practic-ally all of the important railroad, mining min-ing and comercial positions, and the filling fill-ing of their places by natives of the country. Tills, of course, has not come lo pass, never having been contemplated by Madero Ma-dero and bis associates, but tho attack on the club comes as a climax to months of muttered threats and occasional violence-such as that feared at Torreon. from which city many Americans have fled, believing themselves to be in danger dan-ger of their lives from thousands of striking peons. The latter uro said to be held In check only by the presence of a large federal force. Patrolling Border. 13 1 SB EE, Ariz.-. Nov. 22.
