Drastic Law Passed Today by the Ne-

By Associated Press.
Carson, Nev., Jan. 27.—The state
senate yesterday passed a bill making
it unlawful to sell or give cigarettes
or cigarette papers to any man, woman
or child in the state of Nevada.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 27.—The pros in
the senote had a caucus this morning at
8 o’clock looking to the selecting of
their men for the joint redistricting
committee of the two houses and will
likely make public their selection to-
morrow.
It is known that quite a number of
present pro senators have congression-
al aspirations and it is claimed tl at
efforts are being made by the pros
in general to so arrange old districts
as to give the pros a good chance for
success. The present congressional dis-
tricts that are supposed to be particu-
larly affected are those of Congress-
men Henry, Burleson, Randall, Lies,
Hardy and W. R. Smith. /
There is an intimation that the re-
arranging of the districts is aimed at
the defeat of some congressmen who
have been known to be outspoken
against Senator Bailey in the past, and
in consequence the Bailey and anti-
Bailey men are on the alert today
to see to it that the right men get on
the committee. The greatest secrecy
attended tnis morning’s meeting, but
it was announced that no final decis-
ion as to the personnel of the com-
mittee would be finally agreed upon

Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 27.—A brief ses-
sion of the house was held today, and

ed when adjournment was taken un-
til Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
A resolution was adopted empower-
ing the speaker to appoint an addi-
tional elevator man.
A concurrent resolution by Mr. Hunt
was read, asking congress to secure
an amendment to the federal consti-
tution prohibiting the practice
polygamy in the United States.
The bill by Senator McNealus
Dallas
ries,
was
but
of
relating to Democratic prima-
whichj has passed the senate,
set for 2 o’clock this afternoon,
the action of the house in ad-
journing until Monday has had the
effect of preventing the Democratic
nominations in the city of Dallas for
the coming city election. Should the
bill now pass it would only be appli-
cable to the Democratic primaries two
years hence.
Among the bills introduced in the
house today were:
By Stevens and McKinney—Provid-
ing for a clerk to the board of par-
dons.
By Stevens—-To allow traveling ex-
penses to district judges and district
attorneys outside of counties of resi-
dence.
By Williams of Dallas and Stevens—
Houes joint resolution to amendd the
constitution so as to nave members of
the legislature get $1,000 per year and
mileage at 3 cents per mile and pro-
hibit passes.
The house committee on education
reported favorably on the bill to create
an additional normal, to be known as
the central west Texas normal.
The committee on irrigation report-
ed favorably on the bill providing for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
west and appropriating $5,000 there-
for.
The house committee on revenue and
taxation reported favorably on Sprad-
ley’s pure paint bill.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 27.—A concurrent
resolution was introduced in the sen-
ate this morning by Senator Murray
congratulating the people of Mexico
for the splendid progress of her peo-
ple socially and politically and “that
the government of Texas has no sym-
pathy for, and no part in, the late so-
called revolution of tne republic. ’ The
resolution also provides that Governor
Colquitt transmit to each of the gov-
ernors of the states of the republic of
Mexico and also to President Diaz cop-
ies of the resolution.
The senate spent most of the morn-
ing session in the presentation of new
bills. Several petitions were received
endorsing the bill to prohibit the sell-
ing of cigarettes in Texas.
Among the bills introduced in the
senate today were two by Hudspeth,
creating the office or state inspector
of masonry with a salary of $2,000 a
year, and a public service commission
bill, the same as the Williams’ bill
in the house.
By Townsend, an amendment to the
labor commissioner law providing for
the appointment of an inspector of
safety appliances and also ror an in-
spector of factories; by Cofer, prohib-
ing the sale of cigarettes in Texas;
by Watson, providing that when a per-
son does not buy a railroad ticket and
pays cash fare, the fare shall not ex-
ceed 3c per mile. Under the law now,
4c may be charged.
The senate is considering the Hud-
speth sheep scab bill, providing for
an appropriation for a state inspector
of sheep. As there is little opposi-
tion to the bill it is more than likely
it will pass.

By Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 27.—Information
reached this city early today by wire-
J less that two freight steamers, the
Mohegan and the H. M. Whitney, are
on the rocks somewhere near
Throgg’s Neck, near the western end
of Long Island sound. Tugs were
sent from this city to the steamers’
aid. Efforts to float the Mohegan
were successful, and she was found
practically undamaged.
Before 10 o’clock the Whitney was
hauldd safely off the shoal and pro-
ceeded for Boston under her own
steam. She was apparently none the
worse for her experience.

San Jose, Mex., Jan. 27.—(Via Marfa)
*—A detailed account of the slaughter
of the troops under Col. Doranto near
Cuchillo Parrado has been secured.
The federal soldiers walked into a trap
and 115 were killed while only two in-
suryectos died. The correspondent with
the insurgent forces interviewed sev-
eral captured government soldiers and
all of them give practically the same
account of their losses. Jose de La
Cruz Sanchez and Torileio Ortega,
Mexican ranch owners commanded the
insurgents. The federal soldiers under
Col. Doranto, numbering nearly 400
men, would probably have all been
massacred had not the insurrectos ex-
hausted their ammunition. The soldiers
were entrapped in the mountains and
for nearly three days were under the
fire £f the insurrectos. The insur-
gents captured 32 Mauser carbines and
19 wounded men. Twenty horses be-
longing to the revolutionists were left
in a canyon, three miles from the bat-
tle ground and in their retreat the
soldiers confiscated them. The gov-
ernment troops retreated in disorder to
Coyama and entrenched themselves.
They made no attempt to cross the
mountains to their headquarters at
Ojinaga. Only 150 soldiers remain in
Oj'inaga and an attack is hourly ex-
pb&ted. After the battle near Cuchillo
th© insurgents retired to the Rio
Grande near Reodosa, where they re-
ceived a plentiful supply of ammuni-
tion. Today they returned to the
mountains passing within sight of the
garrison of Ojinaga. Their announced
intention was to go to Coyama and at-
Vtack the soldiers there.
A Scotchman, P. S. McCombs of Seat-
tle, Wash., was with the insurgents in
the battle at Cuchillo Parrado. The
revolutionist commanders declare that
he is “possessed of a devil” and fought
with uncanny heroism. During the en-
gagement he killed four rurales and
secured their guns and ammunition.
He is a veteran of four wars, Cuba,
Philippines, China and South Africa.
For two weeks a chain guard has
been maintained at Ojinaga and no one
has been allowed to leave the town.
Several American citizens are held un-
willing prisoners within the guard
lines.
