Republican Senators, Defeated in
Every Attack, Give Way on
Much of Their Opposition and
Law May Be Enacted Much
Earlier Than Expected.
WASHINGTON, 0. C., July 27.—
President Wilson has received further
assurances from leaders in Congress
that his program of currency reform
will receive favorable .action at this
session of Congress. These assurances
have been made in thfe fflCe Af' ihi*
sharp split among Democrats of the
House Banking and Currency Commit-
tee, and In spite, also, of the desire of
many Democrats in the Senate to de-
lay currency action until the Decem-
ber session.
Rapid progress has been made on
Hit tariff bill in the Senate and the
Present and his congressional ad-
visers havt" been encouraged at the
prospeat fcf the passage of the tariff
bill much earlier than had been ex-
pected. Republican Senators, defeated
at cwry turn in thfir efforts to amend
the bill, have given way on much of
their proposed opposition.
MAT HAVK A tlAUCI S.
While the Democrats of the House com-
mittee have found it Impossible to agree
%ti the Olati* Owen currency >>411, the
House leaders and President Wilaon be-
lieve the meaiure can be whipped Into
Shape In a democratic caucus, If it is
iioressary to adopt tbflt course. The pres
ldeut h;is obtained the view of the ho
called "Insurgents" and aseertPined the
Strength of their opposition.
It 1m believed the 1)111 could be taken
into caiicUM, with the hue It lug of the
President, I ►ruiocrntic Leader I aderwood.
Speaker (lark ami Chairman Glass, and
perfected there and given the endorsement
of the Democratic party. Further efforts
r 111 be tnado this Week to bring the
Hou.ie committee members together on the
bill, but should the Attemps fall the Ad-
ministration Is prepared to push the cur-
rency measure into the House without de-
lay.
The tariff bill has gone through its
early stages in the Senate with unexpect-
ed rapidity. The chemical schedule was
completed yesterday and the earthenware
tariff eill be taken up tomorrow.
Indications point to less Republican op-
position hh the bill progresses. Senator
I.» Fol'ette has had two experts prepar
in it substitutes for many schedules of the
flJemocratlc tariff. The Wisconsin Sen
in or is ex pected to lead a bard fight for
thpir adoption.
Senators !<a Follette and Smoot each
vlll offer substitutes for the Democratic
woflen tariff. A concerted effort is to be
made oil the Republican side to break up
the Democratic ranks on the free wool
issue, btn Democratic leaders Insist their
woolen tariff will go through by a safe
margin

Bailey Writes He Will not Give
Up Present Peace and Content-
ment "Unless Required by Some
Condition of Affairs Whi:h
Does not Now Exist."
Staff Kpf-ritl to The Ekpreit.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 27.—The ghost
of the "Bailey issue," a spirit where-
with anyone in Texas could once con-
jure up any kind of contest, from a
public debate to a fint fight, wandered
lonesomely about the Capitol today
as a result of the report that former
United States Senator Bailey would
announce himself a candidate for Gov-
ernor in a speech which he is to make
at Pilot Point August 6.
The report did not arouse any no-
ticeable enthusiasm on the part ot
Bailey's friends. They are still his
friends, to be sure, but, as one of
them expressed it, they have had
enough of fighting over personal is
sues, when so many vital problems of
public welfare demand serious consid-
eration, uninfluenced by the personal
motives, antagonisms and ambitions of
any individual.
SITUATION IS CHANGED.
Tonight the situation was changed when
State Senator II. H Terrell of Went g»vu
out a letter from lialiey declining to be
a candidate for Governor, but. which
Terrell Interprets to meuji that Bailey
nmy be u candidate for United tsate.;
Senator, although it does not say so iu set
terms. Tilts idea, also, tailed to atir up
any t«rtletilar jscitclfient.
Senator Terrell • art fully points out that
the letter is dated at Washington, June
33, and explains that It was written in
response to a letter from Terrell Inclos-
ing a cllping from his paper, tho West
News, suggesting Bailey's candidacy for
Governor, ferrell says he wired for per
mission to publish, which was granted
but later withdrawn. Subsequently he re-
ceived a letter from Bailey promising
more lengthy statement.
Today, however, he received another
letter from Mr. Bailey, In which the ex-
Senator says that "After thinking the
matter over from every angle, 1 havo
finally concluded to let j oti print my let-
ter of June 28."
Senator Terrell said tonight:
"While Mr. Bailey will not be a candl
'late for Governor, the chances are that
he may again seek the senatorial toga,
lie says hia studies and experience
continued on I'agfi Three.

SUFFRIGETTES IN II11
Sylvia Pankhurst l,ea<ls Greatest Dem-
onstration London Has Yet
Witnessed.
LONDON, July 27.—Sylvia Pankhurst
the militant suffragette, who was out on
lleenso under the "cat and mouse law'
was tho leader ot a suffragetto demon-
stration today which surpassed all pre-
vious Sunday afternoon affairs of the
sort. During the rioting which followed,
Miss Pankhurst was rearrested and taken
to Holloway Jail.
The meeting, held In Trafalgar Square
by the Men's Federation for Woman's
Suffrage and tho East End branch of
the Women's Social and Political Union,
had been announced In advance, arid this
fact and aJso a rumor that a charge upon
Premier Asqulth's residence with resolu-
tions was planned, brought enormous
crowds Into the square.
"On to Downing Street" was the watch
word, and but for vigorous work by tho
mobilized police, who arrested Miss 1'ank
hurst and twenty men and women sup
porters, there would have been window
smashing and perhapB worse damage at
the Premier's house. The procession of
women and men marched from White
chapel to Trafaglar Square wltli constant
ly growing crowd* following.
It entered the square with the band
playing the "Marseillaise" and planted
banners on the plinth of the Nelson col
umn. Miss Pankhurst made a dramatic
appearance trom among the crowd and
was dragged to the plinth amid cperlng.
When the demonstration had subsluod she
made an impassioned .speech.
"The time for speaking is over," she
said. "Deeds, not words, are wanted.
Let us all go to Downing Street."
She concluded by saying that she was
going to defy the authorities and carry
resolutions to tho Premier's residence
herself. A roar of approval greeted tills
announcement.
The huge crowd. Miss Pankhurst lead
lng, moved down Whitehall toward
Downing Street. A platoon of police,
which had come at double-quick front
Scotland Yard, formed a cordon acrosu
the road which was effectively aided by
a. blockade of wheeled conveyances,
Mounted police rode Into the crowd, scat
terlng It and driving the people down
various streets, while officers In plain
clothes got possession of Miss Pankhurst
after a fist fight with her body guard
of East End youths.
Tho mounted men cleared a way for tho
prisoner to a cab. Mtos Pankhurst was
driven to Holloway lall to serve the sen
fence or stay until she Is again released
through the hunger strike. In the sta
tlon house she struggled desperately with
the oiflcers and smashed a window with
a ruler.
After Miss Pankhurst had been taken

LONDON, July 27.—The Balkan peace
conference In expected to open at Bucha-
rest Wednesday, but meantime Berloua
lighting continues. The Greeks refused
Bulgaria's request for even a three days'
truce and, after heavy fighting, have
gotten through Krefna Pass, defeating
toe Bulgarians at Siinokle, rapturing
three siege guns and driving the Bul-
garians back on DJuroa. The Greeks
claim they annihilated the whole left of
the Bulgarian army and that they have
forced the Bulgarians back along the
btruma Valley to DJuiua, on the'Bul-
garian frontier. Unless peace speedily
is negotiated another great battle is
likely to occur at DJuma.
Tho concert of the Powers seems as
powerless an before to ailopt any united
action of its troops in penetrating old
Bulgaria, and no further advance of
Turkish troops has been reported. The
Turks claim lliolr spoils at Adrlanople
consisted of 1K0 guns, 50,000 rifles and
1,000,000 sacks of corn.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 'X Relayed
in transmission).—1Trustworthy reports of
appalling massacres and devastation by
Turkish irregular troops come from dis-
tricts ii; Thrace which the Turks are re-
occupying. The country about Alatgara.
northeast of Gallipoli, according to re-
ports. has been converted into h. human
slaughter house. Bulgarians pillaged and
burned Moslem villages and massacred
their inhabitants ajid now the Turks Hre
wreaking dreadful vengeance on the.
Christian villages which the Bulgarians
spared.
The Turkish troops who first advanced,
committed only a few murders. The ir-
regular troops and the '1 urkiah regulars
who followed, worked their will on the
Christians of Mat gars and eighteen vil-
lages In the neighborhood.
The Turkish government, realising the
need of the good opinion of Plurnpe at
present, issued strict orders to officers
to avoid reprisals by the troops, but they
fcave been unable to restrain theit men.
SHANGHAI, July 27.-The United
.States auxiliary cruiser Rainbow's blue-
jackets, who were landed Saturday for a
demonstration, are now guarding the for-
eign settlement with the men from other
foreign warships. The Rainbow was
struck three times during the fighting
last Friday.
The whereabouts of Dr. Sun Yat Sen,
onb of the leaders of the revolt, Is un-
known. The Standard Oil Company's
houseboat was commandeered near Stow
Chow. Much of the money on board was
taken and the boat was released.
In accordance with s proclamation is-
sued Saturday the municipal police, rein
forced by n strong body of Shanghai vol
unteers, went today to the rebel head
quarters at Chapel, immediately north of
the foreign setticment boundary, where
they disarmed .'too soldiers and twelve of-
ficers aud took six 3-inch guns.
There was no actual resistance on the
part of the rebels, but for a brief period
a conflict seemed imminent. The rebels,
however, were overawed by the firm attl
tude of the municipal police.
Detachments of American, British, Japan
esc, French and Italian bluejackets were
patrolling the settlement and the Chapel
boundaries. The rebels Saturday morn
ing captured the Tien Tchina, a Chinese
admiralty yacht, which, it is believed wa
bringing dispatches to Shanghai.
The departure of transports from Che
Foo points to the probability of a bat
tie at the Wu Sung arsenal.
During the last thirty hours all has been
qnlet and the Northern soldiers have been
employing their lelsere time in construct
in;*r wire entanglements in the roads.
Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese minister
to the l ulled States, is actively engaged In
negotiations for p*Hce, but the northern
generals are not e powered to treat with
him, as Shanghai forms only an Item in
the general revolt. Thus far. however,
the negotiation! have been successful, as
the Northerners have resolved to fight
only If they are attacked.
The Chinese are loud In their denuncla
tlon of the Japanese, whose assistance is
held 10 have been mainly responsible for
the auedess of the revolt There were wild
rumors lu circulation that concessions
have been promised Japan by the rebels,
and it seems undeniable that some ins
terlal assistance in the waj of money and
military , Instructors has been lent the
rebels In unofficial Japanese quarters. The
Japanese government s sttltnde, however,
seems moat correct, and It Is doing it« nt
most to remove all grounds for reports
that it expects to benefit through the suc-
cesses of the rebel*
July 27.—Char lea
fr Dixon, the United States immigra-
tion inspector, who was shot in Juarez
Saturday by Mexican soldiers, was re-
leased from the Juarez hospital and
brought to El Paso today, after Amer-
ican Consul T. I). Edwards had made
a demand for his release and for the
arrest of the men who shot him.
Mexican Consul Miranda and Outllerm©
Porr.M, former Secretary of State of Chi-
huahua. ;tlso interceded for the release of
Dixon, utter conference with the United
States officials, who represented to the
Mexicans the grave impression that had
■Washington by the
news of the shooting of the Inspector.
DEMAND IN VIGOROUS LANulTAOE.
The demand of Consul Edwards was in
vigorous language. First telling the Mex-
ican authorities that Dixon must be de-
livered up to his friends and permitted
to be brought to El Paso without delay,
tin- consul said relative to reparation:
"i do not merely request the arrest of
these men. but in the name of the United
States Government which l have the
honor to represent, 1 demand their arrest
and their trial and punishment for this
crime. My Government will hold the mili-
tary authorities of Juarez personally re-
sponsible for failure to obey this com-
mand."
Arthur Walker, the negro whom Dixon
was investigating when he was arreted,
aud the Mulder* who n<&do the arrest
Immediately were placed iu jail, according
to the report of Colonel Castro, command-
ing the .Idaiex garrison, to E. YV. Berk-
shire, supervising Inspector of immigra-
tion for the United States on the Mexi-
can border.
Dixon was released to Mr. Berkshire
and hroght to El Paso to a hospital,
where Ills physicians believe he will re-
cover.
Mr Berkshire said tonight he made no
demands on the Mexican officals, but had
reported to his superiors the facts con-
cerning the arrest of himself and In-
spector Clarence Gatley when they went
to Juarez following the shooting of Dixon.
Mr. U< rkehire said that from what he
learned, the negro, Walker, when he
learned that Dixon was tn Juarez investi-
gating a white slave case in which Wal-
ker had heen Implicated, Informed the
Mexican officials that Dixon was there
with a. bottle of chloroform, ready to
chloroform and kidnap him.
It Is said the uegro then bought drinks
for the soldiers who were to maJte the
arrest.
SHOT AS HE RAN.
When the Mexican soldiers had appre-
hended Dixon they marched him to th«
suburbs of the city instead of to the
military barracks or city hall. This,
according to Dixon's statement, reiterated
tonight, led him to suspect that he waa
going to be executed.
As a. matter of self-preservation, he de-
clared. he fled and became the target of
many bullets, only one of which took ef-
fect, .striking him in the back and pene-
trating his body. Another bullet struck
his shoe
Wounded, he waa taken to tha Jumret
