( 1MJ, by Amrlo:ui 1'iens AiwcUition.

sent to Naco, Arizona, to prevent
warring Mexicans from firing across
the International boundary.
FIGHTING ORDERED STOPPED
Friendship of Americans to Be Re
tained at All Costs.
Mexico City. Tho situation at Na
co, Sonora, on the International bor
der, was commented on by Provisional
President Gutierres lit an interview
in which he said:
"I sincerely regret the troubles
which have' occurred along the north
ern border in which Americans have
been killed or wounded by Btray bul
lets. I have ordered the absolute ces
sation of hostilities in the neighbor
hood of Naco and I will proceed in a
like manner should fighting occur at
any other points on the border, even
if such an order should place our cause
In jeopardy. I realize that at any cost
we must retain the friendship of the
Americans."
Date of Consecration of Bishop Set.
Portland. That Walter T. Sumner,
of Chicago, bishop-elect of the diocese
of Oregon, will be consecrated to the
bishopric on January 8 in Chicago, the
date originally hoped for by him, is

ficial message to the diocese, received
in Portland.
New York Stock Exchange Opens.
New York. The stock exchange has
resumed its regular functions as one

world. The resumption was accom
panied by a display of much confi
dence and enthusiasm on the part of
the members.
CARRANZA DEFIANT
IN REPLY TO WILSON
Vera Cruz. General Carranza made
defiant reply to President Wilson's
ultimatum that force would be em
ployed by the United States unless ac
tivities of warring factions on the So
nora border which Imperiled lives on
the American side were baited. He
said:
"If the United States employs force
to stop the firing by Mexicans across
the international boundary line at Na
co It will be considered an unfriendly
act, notwithstanding the friendly mo
tives cloaking the act."
It has been General Carranza's con
tention that It is not his troops that
are firing across the line but those of
General Villa. The Carranzlstas under
General Benjamin Hill are fighting
with their backs to the border resist
ing a continuous bombardment by the
forces under the former governor of
Sonora, General Maytorena.
"As to the use of force, of which Mr.
Bryan talks, that is something the
gravity of which I fear he does not
fully appreciate. He says It would not
mean a violation of our national sov
ereignly. It would."

PROHIBITION AND
SUFFRAGEARE ISSUES
Consideration of Constitutional
Amendments Decided on
in the House.
Washington. Tho Issues of national
prohibition and woman suffrage will
he placed aqtinroly before the house of
representatives us a result of action
taken hy the hotuw rules committee,
when It decided to report special rules
for tho consideration of constitutional
amendments on ioth subjects. Inci
dentally, the committee put an end
to all hope of " exteudod holiday re
cess. Kopresentntlve Henry, chairman of
tho rules committee, assorted the ruin
on tie Hobson prohibition resolution
would bo presented December 22 and
that the resolution after eight hours
of debate would be pressed to a vole
on that date. Tho suffrage resolution,
ha said, would follow Immediately.
The prohibition resolution would pro
hibit the Bale, manufacture and expor
tation for sale of "Intoxicating liquors
tor beverage purposes In the United
States and all territory subject to the
Jurisdiction thereof forever."
The suffrage amendment would de
clare that thu right of citizens to vote
should not bo denied or abridged on
account of sex.
Democrats Call Caucus In Senate.
Senate democrats In caucus deter
mined to speed up tho legislative pro
grain to avoid the necessity of an ex
tra session at the cud of the sixty
third congress on March 4 next.
It was decided to abandon a long
holiday recess, the senators agreeing
to confer with house leaders on a plan
to- recess over Christmas, from Do
cembcr 22 to December 28, and to re
main In session New Year's week, ex
cept for New Year's day. It was do
cided to hold night sessions at least
lu the senate, once a week, and often
er It the steering committee should
deem it necessary.
Would Ratify Safety at Sea Treaty.
Administration leaders determined
to press for ratification by the senate
the safety at sea treaty, which grew
out of the London maritime confer
ence last year and mentioned by Pres
ident Wilson In his message. Opposi
tion developed when Senator La Fol
lette sought an amendment which
would give the United States authority
to legislate against Involuntary servi
tude of tailors and for other ameliora
tion of the condition of seamen.
The seamen's bill, passed by both
houses at the last session, but later
referred to the senate committee on
commerce, Is championed by labor or
ganizations. The foreign relations committee has
an amendment to the treaty, but sup
porters of the seamen's bill think It is
not broad enough. Executive sessions
on the treaty probably will be held
dilly.
New Projects Rejected.
Agreement that no new projects
shall be Included In the river and hiir
bors appropriation bill was practically
reached by the house committee.
The bill, for which estimates aggre
gating $49,000,000 were submitted by
the army engineers, exclusive of new
projects and maintenance of work al
ready completed, will be ready before
the Christmas recess.
VESSELS IGNORE LAWS
Request for Destroyers Due to Disre
gard of Canal Regulations.
Panama. Colonel George W. Goeth
als, governor of the Canal Zone, was
Impelled to suggest to the government
at Washington that two swift Ameri
can torpedo-boat destroyers be sta
tioned at the Panama Canal, one at
each end, by the recent activity of
belligerent warships and colliers In
the vicinity of the Isthmian waterway.
The action of the Australian collier
Malllna, which left Balboa without
clearance papers, and the fact that
this and other colliers have shown a
disposition to disregard the canal zone
shipping laws, actuated Colonel Goeth
als to take a decisive measure to pre
serve tho neutrality of the canal.
Nearly all of the colliers which have
gathered In canal waters arrived with
out health certificates and In several
Instances the ships sailed without
clearance papers.
Pullman College Head Would Quit.
Pullman, Wash. Dr. K. A. Bryan,
president of Washington Slate Col
lege, has prepared his resignation and
will submit It to the board of regents.
Dr. Bryan says that he desires to re
tire at a time when the college Is In
excellent condition and while he still
has the full enjoyment of health und
strengtlW'
He sets January 1, 1.116, as tho date
for bis retirement.
Dry Britain Urged.
London. A campaign has bngun In
England, headed hy Mrs. Frances K.
J. Parker, ulster of Field Marshal Karl
