especially by ths "atandpat" Senators.
who have corns out against ths acres
ment on the around that It Is not In
compliance with the tenets of the Re
publican party en protection.
Aldrkh May Not Itctara.
No announcement was mads at ths
White House today la respect to ths

Issued with the President's sanction.
If not under his direction.
There Is no doubt that It filled soma
Senators with consternation, while
some others felt It waa only a gentle
reminder from the White House that

the agreement, was an early caller at
the White House today. As ha left
the executive offices hs said he would

ure and that. If It were defeated. It
wuuld be by Republicans. Personally,
he said, ho was opposed to tho bill

Pest Travel Is Avoided.
PEKI.-f. Feb. 20. There Is noticeable
activity by the Chinese government to
stay the spread of the plague, and san
itary measurers are being strictly en
forced In all the towns where a few
weeks ago the disease was allowed fuU
swing. Instructions have been Issued
that every village burn Its dead.
The panic and fear of the plague have
overridden the Chinese superstition of
the cremation of the bodies of the vic
tims, and now almost dally the torch
Is applied to piles of hastily constructed
co ant, among wulch are often seen
bodies wrapped only In shrouds.
Masked Men Gather Dead.

churlan railway, where the dally death
list has numbered a hundred or more.

pick up the bodies lying In the streets,
where they have been placed by rela
tives. The sleds transport them to the
west gate and from there they are re
moved In carts to the cremation
grounds.

be sprays all persons entering the shop
with a solution of carbolic acid.

SO miles north of Harbin, found that
town sorely afflicted. For many weeks
the Governor, with the customary fa
talism, was Indifferent to the awful
work of the plague. He has been sud
denly aroused into activity, however,
and. clad In mask and bandages, per-
onslly superintends the cremation of
the accumulated bodies.

kinson, of Palo Alto, to respond on be
half of the delegates.

time an open accusation of such a com
bination was made on the floor of the

duce retail prices.

toes buy so much lumber as today. He

ment, asking: "Is it right that a crop
God takes ages to produce should be
cheaper than one that Is produced an
nually?"

tions and nominations will report to

heretofore worn civilian garb, donned
a corduroy uniform similar' to that
which his second in command, Simon
Berthold. wore upon his return recently
from Los Angeles.

from the United States, but the rebels
seems to have acquired them without
the knowledge of the United States offi
cers who are patroling the Interna
tlonal boundary. -

which Leyva's army la enjoying has
proved a great incentive to enlistment

chons. at the rebel camp today and
swore ' allegiance to the cause of Ma
dero. They were promptly given red
ribbons and aifigned their places in
the ranks.
Berthold said that as a result of the
arrival of supplies, more .than 400 men
are ifltted with good weapons and with
150 rounds of ammunition each.

his shattered forces.
The report that Vega had flOO.000 of the
state funds with him excited tho cupidity
of the lnsurrecto leaders.
"That sum would buy a battery of
machine guns," said Leyva. "Then we
could hold Lower California against the
entire Mexican army.1'
The remark wrfs made in a manner to
Indicate that If it was true that Vega
had this amount the lnsurrecto leader
