EL PASO, Tex., June 30. The first rev
olutionary outbreak in the Republic of
Mexico beyond the borders of Coahuila
occurred this morning at 4 o'clock, when
the garrison at Palomas, Chihuahua, 70
miles west of this city, was attacked by a
band of 50 men, who were repulsed with
a loss of one ki.!ied and one captured.
There were , i4 guards stationed at the
Mexican post when the attacking party
surprised the town. Most of the insur
rectionists were armed wit rude wea
pons and home-made implements of war
fare. Throw lioiybs, hut Are Beaten.
According to a dispatch received here
from Columbus, X. M., across the river
from Palomas, Juan Correco, the Mexi
can general, has arrived there from Pa
lomas, bearing dispatches to his govern
ment concerning the attack. It began
when a bomb was thrown into the tele
graph office, thus shutting off communi
cation with outside points. The fight
followed, in which several hundred shots
were tired and many bombs were thrown
at the' headquarters of the officers. Owing
to the fact that the bombs were Ulr
timed, the officers were able to throw
them away before they exploded, thus
saving the building and their own lives.
The tight lasted one hour, after which
the attacking party fled, to the mountains
west of Palomas.
Gathered in Xew Mexico.
One man was killed, but it seems that
he was a non-combatant. One of the
revolutionists was seriously wounded and
captured. He speaks good English and
the Mexican authorities think he Is a
native of New Mexico.
This idea is confirmed by the report of
the section foreman from Mimbros, sev
eral miles wept of here, to the effect thaf
a band of from 30 to 50 men assembled
there yesterday. They would not allow
him to leave the yards during the day.
They had two large bundles of rifles and
bought provisions. They left Mimbros, a
station on the El Paso & Southwestern,
about midnight last night.
Fear for Money Shipment.
Some excitement was caused by the fact
that the agent of the local express com
pany received a shipment of several
thousand dollars this morning. This
money was forwarded by the Mexican
government to pay the monthly salaries
of the gendarmes located south of here
and. as these shipments come regularly
each month, it was thought the revolu
tionists might try to secure it. The
money was turned over to the Mexican
officials and, so far as known, they were
not molested.
There is a t'nited States customs office
at Columbus, and nil the custom force
is held In reserve In case of possible
trouble.
Another Attack Planned. t
It ls reported that an attack is planned
for tonight at Guadeloupe, .In Chihuahua,
near Fort Hancock, Tex., 50 miles east of
El Paso.
Dynamite was discovered under the
residence of the Mayor of Juarez today
and the Mayor and his family have re
moved to El Paso temporarily.
IIEAKT BLEEDS FOR PATRIOTS
Mexican Poetess in Exile Declaims
Against Tyrant's Rule.
ST. IjOUIS. Mo.. June 30. Living in an
attic of a ramshackle brick building at
ini4 North Tenth street, which is mostly
populated by negroes. Senorita Villarea!
Gonzales, poetess and one of the leading
spirits of the Mexican junta, is impa
tiently watching revolutionary develop
ments in Mexico. With her family she
was exiled from Mexica. Her brother.
Antonio, spent four years in a Mexican
prison, and is now in jail at Los Angeles
because of his revolutionary tendencies.
With shining eyes, clenched hands and
with intense feeling she declared today:
'Tomorrow the real revolution will en
velop Mexico in a whirlwind. We have
30.000 Liberals armed. Forty thousand
more will join us as soon as the money
setxed from a bank is used to procure
arms for them.
"They call us bandits," she exclaimed,
bitterly, "merely because we robbed a
bank. Where else would the poor revolu
tionists get money for ammunition and
guns with which to win liberty and to buy
food for themselves and their wives and
children?
"I am a woman." she said, her mood
softening, "and I hate bloodshed and vio
lence. Hut if it became necessary I could
subdue weak Nature and myself use the
dagger or the torch. Oh, the hunger of
the people of Mexico! 1 receive letters
from them every day which make me cry.

Vanderbilt, Who Married Medium,
Given Xew Trial Because Jury
Accepted Illegal Fees.
NEW TORK, June 20. The verdict by
which Edward Vanderbilt, a retired and
well-to-do business man of Brooklyn, was
declared incompetent to manage his own
affairs was set aside by the Appellate Di
vision today and a new trial was ordered
on the ground tha the Jury had acoepted
illegal fees.
Mr. Vanderbilt, several months ago, after
he had married Mary S. Pepper, the spir
itualistic medium, according to his daugh
ter, had given a large amount -of prop
erty to his wife. Witnesses testified that
Mr. Vanderbilt had received communica
tions through Mrs. Pepper from a spirit
she called "Bright Eyes," and which was
supposed to bring messages from Mr.
Vanderbilfs former wife. As a result
of the finding of the jury's declaring Van
derbilt to be incompetent, Mrs. Pepper
Vanderbllt was indicted on a charge of
larceny of his property and action was
begun to annul her marriage to Vander
bilt. The Appellate Division ruled today that
the Sheriff's jury, which heard the case,
had not a right to accept a fee of 51
a day each from the counsel for Miss
Minerva Vanderbilt and, therefore, or
dered a new trial. This decision is be
lieved to quash the Indictment against
Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt and to act as a
stay to the action to annul the marriage.
HARRIMAN RESUMES WORK

Completed.
OMAHA, June 30.' Official announce
ment was made by Vice-President
Mohler toay, that extension work on

CLOSED BANKS PAYING CP
Wreckage of Panic in Xew York
Being Cleared Away.
NEW YORK, June 30. Eight months af
ter the passing of the financial troubles
of last Fall, the depositors of the
dozen banks and trust companies, which
closed their doors, have, received their
money, at least In part, or in the case
of the few which have not yet reopened
or nave gone into liquidation, are about
to receive it. The Hamilton Bank has
already anticipated all of its deferred pay
ments, which, under the original plan,
were to have extended Into November.
The Knickerbocker Trust Company an
ticipated the first two deferred payments
on June 1. The Oriental Bank paid its
depositors in full preliminary to liquida
tion. The National Bank of North Amer
ica has paid depositors 50 per cent in div
idends, and the New Amsterdam National
has paid 25 per cent.
The Mechanics' & Traders depositors
have practically agreed to a deferred
payment plan.
Of the Brooklyn banks which closed, the
Jenkins Trust Company, reorganized un
der the name of the Lafayette Trust Com
pany, has anticipated payments; the Bor
ough Bank and the Home Bank have re
opened, and the Brooklyn Bank and the
International Trust Company have reor
ganized. Big Cities Hardest Hit.
NEW YORK, June 30. S. J. Landers, of
the National executive committee of the
United Garment Workers of America, who
was sent to the principal cities to find out
the present state of the clothing trade,
has returned. He says that there is a
marked improvement in the demand -for
men in Boston and Providence, and an
improvement in Buffalo and Cincinnati.
The cities worst hit by the business de
pression, he says, were New York and
Chicago, and while there is a slight im
provement in these cities, it is not so pro
nounced as in the other places.

From Pacific and Atlantic
States and Middle West.
DENVER, Colo., June 30. Although
candidates for the nomination for Vice
President on the Democratic ticket are
numerous and despite the fact that their
number is likely to be 'largely Increased
before a choice is actually made, it Is the
general opinion among such leaders of
the party as are now here that, if George
Gray, of Delaware, will declare his will
ingness -to accept the second place on, the
ticket, he can have It.
Joslah Marvel, of Wilmington. Del., the
manager of the Gray Presidential cam
paign, who arrived In Denver tonight, will
not, however, give his consent. He in
sists that the Delaware man, is a candi
date for first place, and, when It has been
settled that he cannot have first place, it
will be ample time to place him in run
ning for the secondary position, provided
he cares to take it. Mr. Marvel denies,
however, that Judge Gray will be satis
fied with anything less than the head of
the ticket.
Bryan Prefers Gray.
It is well known that Mr. Bryan would
.be pleased to have Judge Gray for the
Vice-Presidential candidate, and the only
thing that prevents the latter from be
coming a leading candidate for that posi
tion is the simple but all-powerful fact
that he will not declare himself to be a
candidate at all...
The Gray Presidential boom was form
ally launched today and' headquarters
were opened in the Savoy Hotel. They
were arranged some hours in advance of
the arrival of Mr. Marvel, and during
the early part of the afternoon a corps
of expert bill-stickers was going about
the hotels putting up lithographs of the
Delaware candidate.
The Johnson headquarters will not be
open for several days and the date on
which the Bryan banners will be thrown
out has not yet been determined, but It
will be on Saturday or Sunday, after the
arrival of the Nebraska delegation.
Strong Fight on Injunctions.

Suffragettes Attempt to- Break Po
lice Cordon and . Invade Parlia-
merit House Many Arrests.
, LONDON,- June 30. The women suf
fragists assembled in great numbers In
the vicinity of the House of Commons
shortly before 8 o'clock this evening.
They made several ugly rushes on the
police cordon and refused to disperse
when ordered. A number of arrests were
made. The Parliamentary buildings are
surrounded by several hundred police,
mounted and on foot.
Woman suffragists assembled in Caxton
Hall this afternoon and sent a deputation
to the House of Commons to interview
Premier Asquith in the matter of the im
medite granting of the franchise to
women. The deputatfon was met by a
solid body of police and refused admis
sion. The Premier, in a curt message, de
clined to see the delegation, which then
returned to Caxton Hall and a noisy de
nunciation ensued and a decision to col
lect the full force of the .suffragists for
subsequent demonstrations at the House
of Commons. Hundreds of police guarded
the House in view of the projected raid.
Contrasted with the recent orderly and
Impressive- suffragette gatherings, today's
demonstration was a comparative failure
Nothing like the number -of suffragettes
anticipated appeared upon the scene. The
real leaders in the attack on the House
of Commons, in fact remained behind
at Caxton Hall, reserving themselves, as
they now explain, for another projected
invasion of Parliament on Thursday.
The police,- mounted and on foot, wei
in strong force in the vicinity of Par
liament today and for two or three hours
that neighborhood was the scene of riots
and skirmishes through the efforts of the
suffragettes to break through the cordon
and reach the lobby of the House ot
Commons. Numerous ruses and disguised
were employed for this purpose, but none
succeeded and in the end 29 of the
women were arrested, including two bold
spirits who drove in a cab to Downing
street and threw stones and smashed the
windows of the Premier's residence, and
others who chartered boats on the
Thames and tried to harangue the mem
bers of the House on the terrace through
megaphones. ""

BT LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, June 30. (Special.) The
wlndup of the recount trial, which dem
onstrated conclusively ' that George B.
McClellan did not steal the Mayoralty
chair, the property of William Randolph
Hearst, is believed to be the signal for
other interesting court proceedings. The
Mayor and his advisors are now contem
plating the advisability of bringing a suit
for damages. Eminent lawyers . agree
that a good sized verdict is more thari
a possibility as the plaintiff would be in
a position to prove that he had been
mentally and financially injured. . Dis
cussing the case today, a leading member
of the bar said:
"McClellan would be justified In suing
for $250,000, and a verdict of that amount
would, I believe, be upheld by the high
est courts. iTom election day until the
present time, the Hearst papers have al
luded to McClellan as the "Fraud Mayor.'
He has been assailed in the news col
umns as well as editorially. In addition
to this. McClellan has been fighting all
sorts of proceedings, in all sorts of
courts. I understand that he claims to
have paid out over J75.000 for legal ex
penses, but I would not be surprised if
his bill was double that amount. As all
the allegations of fraud have been found
to be incorrect. It would seem no more
than right that Hearst should reimburse
him.
In addition to that, McClellan has suf
fered material damage to his reputation
by being held up to public scorn as a
ballot box stuffer and a receiver of stolen
goods.'
Awaits Hearst's Return.
No action has been taken in the case as
yet, owing to the fact that Hearst is
still in Europe. He has promised to re
turn to the United States by July 15,
and his followers are waiting anxiously
to hear from him, as the "National con
vention" is scheduled to meet in Chicago
on July 27. And -what would an Inde
pendence League convention be if Wil
liam Randolph Hearst failed to occupy
the center of the stage?

posted doubt if the League will cut any

Widespread Investments and Busi
ness Revivals Will Follow Much
Money In Big Cities.
CHICAGO, June 30. (Special.)
There will be distributed throughout
the United States tomorrow a total of
f 199.000.000, made up largely ot semi
annual payments by public corporations
such as railroads, large Industrial con
cerns and banks.
This immense volume of money, cut
loose from one end of the -country to
the other, will. It Is believed, start a
great business revival. It is expected
to lead to widespread Investments and
general Improvements, and will have a
beneficial and bracing effect in many
ways. One important feature is that
railroads will have no trouble In get
ing funds for improvements and work
is in sight for thousands of idle men.
At the present time the situation is
peculiar in that, not only in the United
States but in all great monetary cen
ters of the world, money has never been
more plentiful. A large part of the
money is in gold. The excess reserves
in all the large cities are now the high
est in the history of the country.
Money rates are exceptionally ow for
any good collateral and any enterprise
that is honest can easily be financed.

Northwest Ships More
Than Ever Before.
PORTLAND'S PLACE ASSURED
Already Close to Combined Pu
get Sound Points.
COMING SEASON LARGER
While Total Crop Will Not Be S
Heavy as Last Year, More Will Be
Sent Out by Way ot Portland
Because of Xew Roads.
Portland's greatest Brain-exporting
year ended last night. Never before In
the history of the Pacific Northwest has
so much wheat been set afloat from the
local harbor and the Puget Sound ports
as during the cereal year ending June 30.
All previous seasons have been left far
behind, the greatest prior year being
1905-1906.
Portland's shipments for the year
Just closed exceed the preceding season
by more than 6,000.000 bushels. The
great increase shown by the port during
the past 12 months is remarkable and in
sures a prominent place for this city
among the leading grain-shipping ports
of the world.
Export More Coming Year.
Although the present crop will not ap
proach the record-breaker of the season
Just' ended, which harvested approxi
mately 68,000.000 bushels, there is every
reason to believe that much more wheat
will be handled at Portland during the
coming year than during the season Just
ended and will give the port a long lead
over the combined ports of Puget Sound.
This is expected on account of the su
perior transportation facilities, which will
admit Portland exporters to territory that
has been barred to them in the past.
The new North Bank road and the trib
utary feeders being built In the Interior
will bring down vast quantities of grain
that has heretofore gone to Puget Sound.
Totals of Past Season.
Shipments of wheat from Portland dur
ing the cereal year Just ended totaled
15.966,052 bushels, while the total sent
away by Puget Sound was 16,079,41'
bushels. Shipments from Oregon and
Washington ports combined amounted to
a total of 46,767,456 bushels, including
flour reduced to bushels.
During the best previous year, the cereal
shipping season of 1906-06, the total sent
away from the Northwest was 37,672,477
bushels of both wheat and flour. In that
year Portland shipped 9.944.558 bushels
and the combined Puget Sound ports. 11.
893.621 bushels.
In addition to the wheat exports, over
1,000,000 bushels of barley have been
shipped from Portland during the year,
this being the first season that barley
shipments have exceeded the 1,000.000
mark.
Ahead in California Trade.
Portland was far ahead of the Puget
Sound ports in the California wheat trade,
the shipments from this port being 2,446.
236 bushels of wheat and 232.617 barrels
of flour, while the Puget Sound ports sent
1.619.039 bushels of wheat and 193,969
barrels of flour.
The Oriental, wheat trade, which gave
promise of assuming large proportions
early in the season, fell off, the total .
from Portland and Puget Sound being
3.500,000 bushels, which is less than 300.- t
000 bushels more than the previous sea
Bon. Australian wheat, which was cheap- '
er, and unfavorable financial conditions
in Japan are responsible for the falling '
off during the season.
Slump in Orient.
The Oriental flour trade suffered a
heavy slump during the season, ship
ments from Portland being nearly 600.000 .
barrels less than during the preceding l'i
months, while from Puget Sound the de
crease In Oriental flour business was over
1.000,000 barrels. The Oriental flour
shipments from both ports total 2.535,38$
barrels, compared with 4,101,197 barrels
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907.
A portion of the shortage In the OrU
ental flour trade was made up by th
larger shipments to California and South.
America. Portland also dispatched 101,
017 barrels of flour to Europe, compared
with 10,000 barrels during the preceding
season.
Totals for Past Ten Years.
Compared with the total of 46,757,
456 bus. .els, shipped from the Paciflo
Northwest during the cereal year Just
ended, the totals sent away during pre
vious years seem small. Water ship--ments
from Portland and the Puget
Sound ports for the past ten years are
