Cotton Drops $1.50 Monday.
New Orleans: The price of cotton
broke about $1.50 a bale under sell-
ing pressure induced by a variety of
bearish features, chief among which
was the spread of the plague In Har-
bin, the great number of cases of
starvation reported In China, the
weakness of the Egyptian cotton mar-
ket and sympathetic weakness In Liv-

Only twenty minutes before the dis-

had been removed, otherwise the
havoc would have been mw-h greater.
As it was, the plant was little dam-
aged and the ehock felt in Ishpeming-

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL

Washington, Feb. 3.—Duo to the
first performance of the first Demo-
cratic accession to the Senate as a
result in part of the November Dem-
ocratic landslide, the ship subsidy Mil
passed the Senate late Thursday after-
noon.
The Democrat who turned the trick
in favor of ship subsidy was Senator
Clarence E. Watson, elected by the
first Democratic Legislature of West
Virginia In many years, and his per-
formance consisted in being absent
when the final vote on the bill was
being taXftn—_As a result ef his ab-
sence the vote on the measure was 89
to 39, a tie which was broken by Vice-
President tShenman casting tne ae-
elding vote in favor of the ship sub-
sidy bill.
In connection with the vote In the
Senate it Is said that it has been
twelve years since a Vice President
has had the privilege of casting a de-
ciding vote on an Important piece ol
legislation. This was on Senator Ba-
con’s resolution declaring it to bo ths
sense of Congress that the Philip-
pines should be given autonomy. On
that occasion Vloo President Hobart
broke the tie by voting against the res-
olution.
The bill Is yet to come up In the
House, but It Is the general Impres-
sion that It will flail of passage in that
body If It Is reached for a vote. With
the narrowness of Its victory In the
Senate, In which every Democrat, ex-
cept Watson, and thirteen Republicans
voted against it, the bill’s chances of
passage in the House are considered
now even slimmer than before.

San Francisco: Experiments are
being made at the Southern Pacific
Hospital here by patients being inoc<
ulated with an anti-fever serum which
it is claimed will revolutionize the
treatment of fever cases. The dis-
covery of the scrum was by Dr. Fran-
cis Schafer of Bakersfield. He in-
oculated nine Southern Pacific Hoe
pital patients suffering pneumonia
with a liquid extract made from meta-
bolic products given oft by the pneu
monla germ In progress of growth. In
every case, it is asserted, the patient
was cured, several of the cures being
within twenty-four hours of the se-
rum’s injection. A tuberculosis pa-
tient was pronounced cured within
four days.
Reclamation Bill Reported.
Washington: The House committee
on Irrigation, of which Representative
Smith of Texas Is the ranking Demo-
cratic member, reported favorably the
bill Increasing from ten to fifty yeans
the period fo whlcn power from rec-
lamation dam projects may be leased.
This bill was reported out of the com-
mittee at the instigation of Repre-
sentative Smith because the people of
El Paso are anxious to utilize the
big Texas-New Mexico dam tor power
to operate an electric system from i
Engle to El Paso. In the Senate a
similar bill was Introduced by Sen-
ator Bailey, but this bill is labeled
as being Introduced “by request.” Ito
success in the Seaate can not now be
forecasted.

SOME THRILLS OF THE SKIVIATOR
Irrigation ’"Blowout” at Plainview.
Plainview: On Feb. 24 and 25, at
Plainview, there will be a celebration
over the development of the great wa-
ter supply in that vicinity by a two-
days’ demonstration of the strength
of the wells and the application of
the water to farming <by irrigation.
Several wells will be in pumping or-
der at that time and many others that
have been contracted for will be drill-
ing. Special invitations have been
sent out to all newspapers, all de-
partments of the several railroads of
the Southwest, to many Irrigation
companies and irrigation experts,
truck and sugar beet growers, -beet
sugar manufacturers and to the Na-
tional and State agricultural commis-
sioners and experts. An irrigation
and development congress will bo one
of the principal features of thio meet-
ing. ___________________

miles south of El Paso, and near where
that road crosses the line of the Mex-
ican Central.
Rabago rallied his men and repulsed
the insurrectos, who withdrew only to
renew the fighting within a short tme.
The fighting continued at ntervals all
day. Rabago found defenses for his
men in the town of Bauche from which
the insurrectos failed to dislodge them.
Rabago began the march to Juarez,
flghtng as he went, but the insurrectos
dogged his footsteps and kept up an
intermittent fire.
After outgeneraling and outfighting
Orozco and his forces at Bauche, Col-
Rabago of the Mexican army, who, ac-
cording to insurrecto advices, was an-
nihilated at Casas Grandes two weeks
His regiment numbers 300 men, in-
cluding cavalry, infantry and light ar-
tillery.
Gen. Navarro is approaching Juarez
from Chihuahua, his train being pre-
ceded by a construction train, which is
repairing the track and bridges de-
stroyed by Orozco. It was expected
that he would reach Juarez Sunday
night but as the arrival of Rabago re-
lieves that place, Navarro will prob-
ably try to Intercept Orozco's band.
Accompanying Rabago’s command
when it reached Juarez was a large
crowd of women and children and a
mule pack train loaded with supplies,
arms and ammunition, and both men
and mules appeared to be exhausted.
The repulse of Orozco and the relief
of Juarez appear to have given a se-
rious blow to the revolutionists,
and the crowd of provisional Govern-
ors and lesser civil and military offi-
cials under Madero who have been
making their headquarters here will
probably scatter.
The net result of a battle at Bauche
between Orozco and Rabago was two
killed and five wounded among the
insurrectos. The Federal loss can not
be learned, as they carried their
wounded with them, -but it was report-
ed that 170 had been killed.
American Death Rate Lowest.
Washington: The American death
rate for 1910 is estimated by Dr.
Gressy L. Wilbur, chief of vital sta-
tistics for the Census Bureau, at 15.
per 1,000 inhabitants. This is but
slightly more than the death rate for
1909, which was 14.4 per 1,000, the
lowest in the history of the country.
Likewise, it is the lowest death rata
among world nations. Of the Euro-
pean countries Norway has the low-
est, with 15.9, and Spain the high*-
est, with 28.9 per 1,000 population.
Other European nations follow in thia-
order: Sweden, 16.8; Denmark, 16.9;
England and Wales, 18.2; Scotland,.
18.5; France, 21.9, and Germany 28.L
It is said that whistling is now a

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Feb. 6.—
In the event of the failure of Gen.
Manuel Bonila, leader of the revolu-
tionists, and President Davila to agree
to peace negotiations as proposed by
the United States, a decisive battle
probably will be fought this week at
Plmleto, twenty-six miles south of
San Pedro Sula. Hostilities in the
northern part of Honduras have
ceased, pending the definite reply of
Gen. Bonilla to the American proposal.
The American gunboat Wheeling
left here this morning for Ceiba, where-
Gen. Bonilla is ill, to get the revolu-
tionary leader’s reply to the peac^_ ,
proposal, which was submitted to him
Friday by Commander Davis of the
Tacoma.
Gen. Carlas, Governor of San Pe-
ddro, is gathering Government forces,
at Plmiento, and is understood to have
1,500 men and five field pieces.
El Paso, Feb. 7.—As long ago as
fast Friday Orozco, the Mexican rebel
had Juarez within his grasp, and was
seemingly aware of the situation. Aft-
er Sunday’s battle he withdrew.
His demonstrations against the city
and his frequent warnings of the hour
he intended to attack are believed
merely to have been a scheme to
cause Rabago to abandon Casas
Grandes and hasten northward with
reinforcements and to cause the dis-
patch of other troops from Chihuahua.
Once these soldiers are in Juarez they
are practically bottled up and can not
return northward without the possi-
bility of sustaining heavy losses.
The town of Casas Grandes with its
population of about 600 and its val-
uable loot is now without a garrison to
defend it and is so Isolated that no
troops can be sent except across coun-
try to be harassed and probably cut
to pieces by the rebels while on the
march.
It is claimed, also that the demon-
stration against Juarez was to bring
about the withdrawal of Federal
troops from the lower provinces for
the purpose of sending them to Juarez
and that the insurrection which has
been threatened at other points will
quickly break out when the troops
have departed.
The long expected Impending
conflict before Juarez commenced Sun-
day morning. Just before dawn sig-
nal fires blazed on the hills south of
Juarez for ten minutes and were then
extinguished.
It was the signal of the insurrectos
that a battle was about to begin, and
soon after sunrise heavy firing mark-
ed where Orozoo engaged the forces
of Gen. Rabago, which were coming to
the relief of Juarez.
Gen. Rabago was coming into Juarez
from Casas Grandes with a troop train
carrying 350 men and 220 horses.
Nineteen kilometers east of Juarez the
insurectos ditched the train and open-
ed fire on the Federal troops as they
detrained. The fighting began near
A physician in Washington, who

tum like this, after centuries of of-
