The House was unable to got a qucrura and adjourned with out even receiving the President's mcssise. In his message President Taft gave Congress his opinion 01 the charge that he had been playing politics In his recent executive o.-der putting S6.000 fourth-class postmasters under the civil service. The President made the counter charge that his accusers on the floor of the house were telling "untruths," and declared that he deep ly regretted the failure of Congress to ' pass legislation which practically would destroy the "spoils" Bystera. "Criticism has been made of this order on the ground that the motive was political." said the president -Nothing could be farther from the truth. The order was made before the election and in the Interest ot efficient public service." Final Warning to be Given Madero One more warning will be given President Madero of Mexico to pro tect American life and property in his republic, and if this goes unheeded the United States will act This ad mission was made by an official of the state department who said the tenor of the ultimatum to be sent was purposely allowed to leak, so that Madero might realize the situation and take immediate action. It was em phaticaly stated also that the warning would be the last diplomatic demand for protection of American citizens in Mexico. New Primary Proposed Senator Bristow, of Kansas, has in troduced a bill providing for a pref erence primary for the appointment of Dostmasters, which would affect the appointment of every postmaster in the United States who receives 1300 or more a year. Senator Bristow's plan Is to hold a nominating election for postmasters hereafter where vacancies occur for the postoffice, filling the office by the voice of the people. The candi date receiving the largest number ot votes cast in the nominating district would be appointed by the Postmaster General and would serve five years. The bill provides that the nominat ing election may be held at the time of the county, state, local or municipal election next preceding the expiration of the term of the postmaster, at the discretion of the Postmaster-General. "Literacy Test" Bill to Conference The "literacy test" immigration bill, which had previously passed the sen ate, also passed the house. The sen ate refused to concur In the house amendments, and the bill has gone to conference. The measure, a substitute for the Senator Dillingham bill, would bar from the United States immigrants over 16 years of age unable to read, except those proving to have immigrat ed on account of religious persecution at home. SIR EDWARD GREY - , ' J.J Jt ..'! . . ". : . , - , Sir Edward Grey, England's Secre tary of State, who is a prominent figure In the Balkan War peace nego tiations. ' Brief News of the week One hundred and twenty-two In the h.i la the record made by the first heat wave experienced In Australia this summer. The Dro Dosed law against dime nov els and sensational literature has been received with favor by the majority of iho federated states of Germany. One million, one hundred thousand eggs were sold in one day under the .inlee of the Chicago Clean fooa League In the campaign to break the ftes- market Evidence taken before the tax ap- niniser at Utica. i. Y.. indicates that the estate of Vice President Sherman will be at least $400,000 and probably larcer. Sweated oranges, which had been subjected to a high temperature to bring out a yellow color, were placed under the ban at Chicago by Federal Judge Laudis, who ordered the confis cation of eiuht cars of oranges shipped recently from California and seized hv the eovernment With the announcement that it had been decided to establish publicity headquarters at Washington, and with the anDolntment of various commit tee to forward the work of organlza tion, the executive committee of the Drosressive party adjourned a two days' seesion in New York to meet aesin January 10. That Austria still expects war to follow its dispute with Servia over the announced intention of the Balkan state to acauire an Albanian port in the Adriatic sea is indicated by its con tinued preparations for hostilities. Numerous steamships are being con verted Into transports, large numbers of troops are arriving dally In Dalraa- tia and extensive fortification are un der course of construction. CABINET FORECAST FROM WASHINGTON Bryan Down Tor Secretary of State; List is Regarded as Substantially Correct. Washington. - Although President elect Wilson lias said that he will not j announce the personnel ot his cabinet much before Mar.li 1. It Is believed here In Washington that he has al most, It not fully, determined who hU advisers will be. It cornea from a source exceedingly close to Mr. Wil son that the follow ius are most likely to be chosen. Secretary of state, William J. Aryan. Nebraska. Secretary of the treasury, llcnrj Morgenlhnu. New York. Secretarv of war, Representative Mitchell Palmer. Pennsylvania. Secretary of the navy, Harry St George Tucker, Virginia. Attorney-general. William F. Mc- Combs, New York, or W. A. Glasgow, Jr., Philadelphia. Postmaster-general, Jusephus Dan iels, North Carolina. Secretary of the Interior, ex-Gover nor Osborn, Wyoming. Secretary of agriculture, Represen tative Burleson. Texas. Secretary of commerce and labor, Representative Redfield, New York. This list Is subject to change, but Is regarded as substantially correct so far as offers ot places in the cabinet are concerned. Whether all of the men will accept Is problematical. Turks Delay Peace London. Turkey is playing the old game ot delay and has caused fur ther postponement of the oft-delayed peace conference, which adjourned to Monday after a brief and fruitless session. It Is evident the Turkish del egates are trying to gain the right to provision Adrlanople by consenting to Include Greece In the conference. 22 LOST WITH STEAMER Men, Once Ashore, Compelled to Re- embark on Vessel St Johns. N. F. Twenty-two of the 27 members of the crew of the Fur ness line steamer Florence, from Hall fax. N." 8., for St John, lost their lives in the wreck of the vessel on the ledges west of St. Shotts in a north west gale. Exhausted survivors who reached land in a boat brought the news to Trepassy. The steamer car rled no passengers. Captain Barr, of the steamer, and all his men reached shore after the vessel struck, but the lofty. Inacces sible cliffs of St. Shotts prevented their escape. The big tide, backed up by the northwest gale, made It Impos sible to remain there and all hands were obliged to put back to the ship which was pounding heavily. National Capital Brevities President Taft commuted to one year the two and a half year sentence of Clarence D. Hillman, a wealthy real estate dealer of Seattle, convicted of suing the mails to defraud. Representative Lever's bill, which seeks to prohibit the use of the tele graph and telephone for conveying in formation and quotations on the grain market, Is being vigorously opposed by the Grain Dealers' National associ ation. Both Oregon senators are noncom mittal tegarding Uie policy of holding up nominations so as to create vacan cies on March 4, and it is impossible to predict just what fate is in store for President Taft's appointees in Ore gon. Washington's senators, Poindexter and Jones, are engaged in a conflict over the confirmation of Clinton W. Howard as judge and 13. W. Coiner as district attorney for wrstern Wash ington. Poindexter has both nomina tions held up and Jones i: insisting on a vote.

YAQU1S TAKE TOWN AND KIDNAP GIRLS El Paso, Tex Yaqul Indians, after an attack lasting two days, have cap tured the Sonora town of San Mar- clal, slaughtered many of the inhab itants and carried off several girls to the mountains. The inhabitants of the town, the re port says, fought until their ammuni tion gave out, when the Indians, who attacked In force of several hundred, gained entrance. Scenes of terrible slaughter fol lowed, only a few escaping to carry the tale to the outside world. The Indians retreated to the mountains, carrying the young women with them, San Marclal 1 the center of the Sonora coal district, a little more than 60 miles southeast of Hcrmosillo. This Is the first time so far as known here where Yaquls successfully as saulted so large a town. The Indians are said to be using military tactics acquired during two years of training in Madero forces to advantage, gathering force until they have practically what could be termed an army. AH are armed with high-power Hfles secured during the government service. Pioneer-:-Butter None Better Money Back if You Are Not Satisfied. Made at Home. Pioneer Cream Co. Agents DeLaval Separator.
