Men were watching him Friday night but ha asked to be allowed to go out to get some air. He failed to return and It was feared he had fallen Into the bay. The hounds when put on the scent today took the opposite direc tion. They traced him through al leys, over fences, through backyards and barns and sheds, thence to Mosa Lake, back to the ball grounds on the outskirts ot town and then through the woods south to a point about four miles on the road leading to Cbehalla. The authorities hero declare their belief that Twohy planned his escape) and Is probably in Portland by this time. their good and bad points, and woun op by defining his position In regard to the affiliation with the American Federation of Labor of Government clerks' organisations. The question, h said. Is most likely to come up In Con greeas and presents a serious problem which demands the attention ot ins whole people. "I think." said the President, "soms persons have gone to the extreme In holding no combinations of Govern ment employes ought to bo permitted. I think, however, that In all govern ments. and 1 have given some exam Inatlon to the subject, the government employes are permitted to combine and have associations for their betterment. "The proposition now is that such combinations should be allowed to affMtate with trades union organiza tions and to use the same methods for securing better terms of employment that are recognized as lawful and Justifiable, by the ordinary trade union. "In other words, that It Is entirely proper for postal employes and others to combine In an association to affili ate with the American Federation of Labor and then to bold In reserve as an Instrument for enforcing their claims the boycott and the strike, which are recognized by the American Federation of Labor and aupported and Justified by It.

Then, with the government helpless, all au thority destroyed, and government ac tivities choked. It was seen that to al low the government employes to use such an instrument was to recognize revolution as a lawful means of secur ing an Increase In compensation for one class, and that a privileged class. at the expense of the whole public "I do not think that either reasonable-minded trades union men or em ployers will fall to see the broad dif ference that exiats between their cases and that of the Government employes who are privileged not only in the amount of their compensation, their short working hours and the greater permanency of tenure, and who serve the government of all the people, the very existence of which will be threatened should they combine to gether and Quit the Government service PR SnNFR in a body.

I General Orozco was asked concern ing the effort alleged to have been made to turn him irom Madero and the reminder that the bribe had been of fered waa mentioned to him. Overtures were said to have been offered to Orozco to furnish him with any money he might need for himself or his men but by whom these overtures were made. General Orozco would not say. The upshot of the affair Is that Obre gon had been banished from insurrecto terrltoryand General Orozco once more s In the good graces of his commander-n-chief. He had a long and cordial talk with General Madero. Ha ex pressed to Madero his loyalty and ten dered his regrets for the incident yes terday In which Madero was tempo rarlly arrested.

General Navarro, commander of tha Juarez federal forces, who gave his personal parole to Provisional Presi dent Madero yesterday and who was aided by the latter In escaping to the American side of the river when his life appeared to be in danger Is en deavoring to persuade the federal off! cers who broke their parole and went to El Paso, after the surrender, to re turn to Juarez and report to their cap tors. The violation of the paroles had much to do with the sudden outburst yesterday in which many of the insur rectos demanded that Navarro be court martlaled. while others demanded that be summarily shot. Incidentally, General Navarro today expressed bis deep gratitude for his kind treatment at the hands of the Insurrecto leader. From Madero, his family and other chiefs of the revolution.

New orders for heavy material may have more than compensated for the falling off In volume of business in light products, and It is expected that activi ties of mills will be increased steadily from the low point touched Monday. Contracts for rails aggregated about 80.000 tons for domestic roads, while con tracts now pending aggregate 75.000 tons. Car and locomotive orders were small, but bids were called on 000 additional cars and 160 locomotives. Car shops Disced orders for about 20,000 tons of plates and shipyards ordered 7500 tons. Bridge orders still were light. Numerous Inquiries are coming from manufacturing slants and from the building trade generally, which bids fair to give the structural mills all the worg they can take care of for several months. Fabricated structural contracts last week aggregated nearly 40,000 tons. The main feature of interest in pig Iron was the placing of contracts for 90.000 tons of Alabama foundry grades by plpo works. Total contracts in all districts aggregated about 100.000 tons. YOUNG MRS, T. H. TRIP LEAVES GEXE RESIDEXCE. ETJ- REBEL OFFICIALS RtXESOXORA Populace in Cananea Gives Demon- stratlon to Leaders.
