this. Mr. Durand remarked be ought not
to have said It.
"I respectfully anhsnlt to anyone who
has made a study of psychology that such
a remark, bursting forth spontaneously,
clearly Indicated the true Inwardness ot
his mind.
"It is not my inclination to go Into

to cite, for example, the quotation of tho

fiat my own wife waa not enumerated,

Director Durand. of the Census Bureau

garding the census figures on the pop
ulation of that atate.
-I confess that I aro somewhat dis
appointed over the result." he con
tinued, -but a little thought will ex
plain the situation to anyone. There has
been a verr rapid growth In the Pan
handle section of the state, but that Is
the thinly populated region, and while
there may have been a very large pro
portionate growth there. It baa com
paratively little influence on the ng

Ti-.a gain recorded, almost -' per
cert, la large for so extensive an area
a Texas, and there should be no reason
for diasatlaf action. Tha census was
taken by Texaa people, and, there Is no
reason to suppose they would defraud
themselves.

of the reapportionment for the House of

IXTDON, Dec. 9. More than two
thirds, or 409 members, of the new House
of Common have been elected and the
political parties stand virtually as they
were at the dissolution of Parliament.
The Unionists, who last week expected to
gain at least !Q seats, thus far have se
cured only three from their opponents.
The standing ot the parties tonight Is:
Government coalition Liberals 163, Na

Nationalists : total 231.
Opposition Unionists

Outside of the defeat of Timothy Healy,
Nationalist, In Mi old constituency,
Ixitit'i. which is attributed to Cardinal
LoKue's action In prohibiting priests
from participating in the election, today's
rcaulta did not produce any surprise, un
less it was In the failure of the Liberals
to recapture Denbigh. The result in
this AVcleh borough is characteristic of
the whole election.
V. Ornmby-Gorc won the teat last Jan
uary by e!i;ht votes and today he In
creased hia majority by one vote, al
though the polling on Loth sides fell oft.
Mr. Frrwcn haa offered his seat for

Two memters of the cabinet. Premier
A soul th and Reginald McKenna, first
lord of the admiralty, were Involved In
today's content but the eutoome In Mr.
Asqulth's constituency will not be known
until tomorrow. Mr. McKenna obtained
a re-election In Monmouthshire North.
The Liberal majorities in Lancashire
continued to fall today, without, however,
a:iy lncreaaa In the Unionist vote, which
shows that many Liberal supporters are
staying away from the polls. The Union
ists conaider litis the flmt eign of a
wholesale desertion of the Government
and that the next time the deserters
will vote the Unionist ticket.
The most optimistic Unionists now
have no hope of making serious ib
roads on the government majority.
The UnloniBt successes in Lancashire
caused great satisfaction to the Union
ist weekly newspapers. But they be
moan lack of Unionist success in Lon
don. The Saturday Review says: "Lon

LEGAL POINT PUT TO TEST
McKensIc Says Government Is Only
'Trying to Get Decision.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. That the only
legal point involved in his case Is the
right of an Alaska coal land claimant
to agree to aoll and of any citizen to
agree to buy such claim prior to or
under the provisions of the Alaska coal
land act of 19". is contended In a state
ment Issued today by Donald A. Mc
Kenxle. who was arreeaed la.t night on
a requisition from Ppokane. Wash., and
released under sjs.ow bond.
McKenrie was Indicted by the Federal
grand Jury of Spokane with four others,
on the charge of conspiring to procure
title fraudulently to 20CO acres of Alaska
coal land in the Katalla district. The
Government contends there was) violation
of the sections of the act of 19C8. pro
hibiting agreement to buy or sell coal
land prior to the completion of entry.
Mr. McKenxie regards the cafe against
him as virtually a test of the Govern
ment's position in Alaska coal lands.
KOMURA SOON TO RESIGN?
Premier's Tariff Attitude Causes
Difficulty. With Britain.
TOKIO. Tuesday. Nor. IS. The resig
nation of Count Koraura. Minister of
Foreign Affairs, must be regarded as
an event of the not far distant future.
Protracted 111 health may be given as
the primary cause when the announce
ment la made, but there are other
causes leading up to what will be gen
erally regarded In Japan as an unfor
tunate necessity.
Of late It has been a somewhat open
secret that differences of opinion exist
between Marquis Katsura and his Min
ister of FoHeign Affairs. The new tar
iff law enacted hle year goes into
effect next July, and the negotiations
for conventions form the groundwork
for these difficulties. Perhaps the ef
fect of the statutory tariff upon foreign
relations waa not given sufficient con
sideration, but at any rate Japan's ally.
Great Britain, has been giving much
trouble to the Foreign Office.
Ambassador Kato in London has not
been in full sympathy with his Govern
ment, or rather had advocated more
liberal dealings with Great Britain as
an ally. The result is that there will
be changes In the statutory tariff or
conventional tariffs must be made
alongside of the atatute.
Count Komura's friends assert that
he was misled Into making certain
statements which he Is now eager . to
retract, or would be obliged to If he
were a party to the changes now con
templated; consequently the resigna
tion. A canvass of the sitnatlon In the
search for Count Komura's successor
would probably result in the nomina
tion of Mr. Kato himself, and his re
call from London may be regarded as
not unlikely.
PANAMA BONDS HEEDED
3IAC1UXEK.Y IS SET IX MOTION
FOR XEW ISSUE.
New Legislation Weeded to Provide)
Market Without Depressing
Those Already Out.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. Machinery
was set in motion today to provide for
an Issue of Panama Canal bonds to end
a drain on the working balance of the
Treasury, which now threatens a de
ficit. Secretary MacVeagh had a long con
ference with? Senator Aid rich, chair
man of the Senate committee on fi
nance. It appeared that several com
plications had arisen and that further
legislation would be necessary if the
proposed new securities are to find a
market without depressing the more
than 1700.000,000 of i per cent bonds
now outstanding.
Secretary MacVeagh advanced the
Idea that if the new 3 per cent bonds
were made nonavallable for bank cir
culation it would prevent a curtail
ment of the demand which exists for
the I per cents. An issue of bonds
without circulation privilege, it is
pointed out, would be in the nature
of an experiment.
If bonds were issued not available
for bank circulation further legislation
would be required. This would be true
likewise should it be decided that the
Interest must be at least 3 1-4 per cent
to assure a market for tbem.
It will be pressed upon Congress
that a preliminary Issue without cir
culation privileges will have the ef
fect of letting - the bonds find, their
own level.
CREEL'S SON NOT CAUGHT
Mexican Minister Denies Report
That Rebels Have Boy.
MEXICO CITYV Dec. 9. Enrique
Creel. Minister of Foreign Relations,
tonight emphatically denied the report
from San Antonio, Texas, that his son
had been captured by revolutionists
and held as a hostage In Chihuahua.
Mr. Creol said: "My son Enrique has
been visiting me here for several weeks
and departed today at S o'clock for
Chihuahua. My other sons have not
been molested in any way. The re
port Is absolutely false."
REGULARS COMING TO RESCUE
Troops Rush to Infected Regions and
Expect to Crush Rebellion.
EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 9. E. Clement
Strube. manager of the Cargill Lumber
Company at Minaca, Chihuahua, arrived
today after a trip through the region
held by Insurgents-in Northern Mexico.
He said:
"Troops are advancing on the Infected
regions from all four directions, and
should have the -insurrection crushed in
a few days. Guerrero was retaken by
the lnsurgenta on Sunday, and they now
hold that place, San Andreas, Pader
nalles. La Junta, Minaca, Madera, Tera
osachlc and several other places, but
lots of them, like Minaca and Temosa
chlc, were without soldiers when taken.
The insurgents claim to have 2000 men,
but I think 1500 armed fighting men Is
a ' proper estimate of their force. By
Saturday night the Mexican government
will have 4OU0 or 8000 troops in Chihuahua,
and should have the rebels hemmed In.
No Americans have been molested."

FUND IS ASSAILED
Move Made to Deprive States
of Forest Receipts.
WESTERN MEN SEE PLOT
Provision to Require Federal Su
pervision of Expenditures May
Result in Diversion Into
Coffers of Bureau.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Dec 9. (8peclal.) The House
committee on agriculture was requested
today to modify the law giving the
Western states 25 per cent of the re
ceipts from forest reserves within their
boundaries by conferring upon the Sec
retary of Agriculture authority to go
into the various states and ascertain
whether this money, when paid to the
states by the general Government, is
i AvrtAnripi HR nrovided by law for
schools and roads, or is being used oth
erwise, and ro, case ne is 01 ias upiuiuu
that the money is not being used for
these speclfio purposes, to take it from
the states and turn it over to the Forest
Bervlce for their own use.
Representative Hawley and other
Western members of the committee are
decidedly opposed to this proposal, re
garding it as a move to deprive the
states of that share of the forestry fund
to which they are legally entitled. They
fear that such a provision, if inserted
In the bill, would result . In diverting
this entire fund Into the coffer of the
Forest Service.
They will make a hard fight in com
mittee to prevent the adoption of the
recommendation made by the Forest
Service.

stomach troubles, particularly dyspep
sia, after years of study perfected the
formula from which Eexall Dyspepsia

to be the greatest remedy known for
the relief of acute Indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients
