(CNITKD I'RKKK l.KASKI, WIltB. Huachuca, Ariz., Feb. 10. News of the wounding of General Torres, military head of the department of Sonora, was brought 'here by a cour ier today from TonichI, 50 miles south of the border. General Torres was shot in the neck by one of his own troopers, at tempting assassination, according to the report. Ho was shot during an engagement with a small band of rebels and was so badly wounded that he had to be carried from the field. Wild rumors of engagement be tween the federals and rebels, fol lowing rapidly on the arrival of the , courier bearing the news of the I shooting of General Torres. One re Iport was that the rival forces had mixed In a general engagement at Sauharlpa, and that 1500 federal sol diers had deserted in a body to the rebel ranks, leaving Sonora state practically defenseless. Another was that the battle at TonichI had been a bloody one and that at least 50 men had been lost on both sides. A pack train arriving from Cananea reported a large column of dust near Sauharlpa, and the sound of heavy firing. An armed body of 80 men were pre paring to cross into Mexico naar Demlng, N. M., according to a report sent to Fort Huachuca, and a detach ment of United States cavalry was sent out to intercept them. Several small groups of men In wagons with weapon concealed In the wagon beds passed here today, ostensibly j headed for the rebel headquarters. Continued rebel successes have en couraged supporters on this side of the line, and it Is believed more than a hundred men will cross to the rebel camps today and tomorrow. On the other hand, the federals ap pear to be losing heart. One Ameri can today reported that he had of fered to supply President Diaz with "Hessians" at a certain price per man, and General Kosterlitzky, to whom he had made the overtures, hud replied simply "too late." The situa tion In Sinaloa st:te Is reported criti cal, the rebels havelng gained the up per hand and threatened to establish revolutionary rule. A part of General Kosterlitzky's forces have been sent to check a rebel advance on Culiacan. Machine Was Too Weak. . Doual . France, Feb. 10.

ALFONSO GETS COAT OF WHITEWASH SPANISH OFFICIALS SOW THAT THE KING AND QIEF.N HAVE PATCHED IT Til Kilt ROW, SAY THERE NEVER WAS 0E. Icnitkh riiKss i.,:ahi:i whim. London, Feb. 10. Despite olllcini denials from thn Spanish court that King Alfonso's escapades In for ;ign capitals brought about marital dlf. Acuities, government agents sent oul to g.'t an ofllcial line on the Span'sli king's jaunts, learned today that he traveled under n!lasvs. In the cifes of Tarls he was known as "Monsieur Laniy." As It has been a month since the j I'nitul Press sent out the first reports of differences betwerM) Alfonso and Queen Victoria, It is pointed out tint thn royal couple mt had ample time to become conciliated. It is Intimat ed that a .reconciliation was brought about, the king agreeing to forego mint her trip to I'ai is. Now that all differences between the royal pair have be- n patched up, the Spanish court 'onies out with strong denials that any diffetvticcs ever existed. They declare that the queen was aware that the reports of Alfonso's "tinklngly" conduct 'n the Parls'an cafes were circulated by political enemies.

' X CN'ITF.D l'BESS I.EASKU W1IHS Columbus, O., Ftb. 10, Speaking at the annual corn show here today,; President Taft urged the adoption of the Canadian reciprocity treaty. "The greatest reaso nfor adopting the agreement," thrf president said, "is that it will unite two countries of kipdred P-opJe- In a opniercial and social union yhleh would be of great advantage to both. Such a result does not need justification by a nice balancing of pecuniary profit to each. It Is merely a truism to say that a country's farmers are the greatest wealth-producing class, and that It Is most important that their welfare shall be conserved. Anyone Initiat ing ai policy Injurious to the farmers has much to answer for before the bar of public opinion. "I a ma Republican, because the Republican party has always pursued a policy of protection for American industries and manufactures, later limiting its purpose 1n the matter of protection to. Hip differences In the cost of production here and abroad, with allowance for a reasonable profit for the American producer. Protec tion thus stated removes justifica tion for any protective tariff what ever on articles Imported from coun tries where conditions of lsrbor and other circumstances are identical with ours. 'Canada, Is our neighbor. Her soil, traditions, language and climate are like ours. She has free popular gov ernment, with a Wage.earnlng class as intelllgents and well paid as our own. It is difficult to see in what respect our farmers have an advant age over ours, except In the virgin soil of the far Northwest. The United States secured for the farmers the free-listing of such. Important agri cultural products as cotton seed oil. fruit, vgeetables, timothy, clover seed and other products In which the movement to Canada from the United States ts greater than from Canada to the United States. The remission, of duties on rough lumber by. freer llsting and heavy reductions In rates on dressed lumber, laths and shin gles all are In the farmers' Interest. "Reduction in the rates on agricul tural products and manufactured ar ticles will stimulate the trade of both countries. The country would be like the change In trade effected! by the opening and settling of far western states, except that It would come much quicker. Let the agree- mnt be adopted, and within six months the farmers on the border will rejoice that a step has been tak en toward closer business regulations with theUr neighbors- The r whole, country farmers, manufacturers railroads, middlemen and warehouse men would be the gainers.
