about.
Rebel Demand Fre!terous.
"Tr government's good will and Its
evident desire to make ample conces
sions and arford effective guarantees
for the early execution of its inten
tions were, perhaps, interpreted by the
rebel chiefs as signs of weakness or of
slender faith in the Justice of its cause.
In any case the negotiations came to
naught, owing to the prrposterousneas
of the demand formulated by the rep
resentatives of the revolutionists as a
decU.-atlon of their own terms, a de
mand absolutely inconsistent with all
ideas of legality.
"If the demand of the revolutionists
that the i r-sident of the republic
should resign In the midst of the politi
cal difficulties were to be allowed. It
would expose the nation to all the con
tingencies and dangers of new elec
tions, which, according to constitution
al provisions, would have to be held at
once, while political paaslona are in
effervescence and before order could be
re-established throughout the republic."

peace commission was to have met today.
The lnsurrectos. however, took advant

protection, the federals having been or
dered not to shoot Into El Paso. They
came as far aa the Santa Fe bridge,
which Joins Juares and El Paso, drlv

rying the fight Into Juares. The United
States Custum-House waa hit several
times.
The rebels entered the town and for
four hours kept up a continuous fi
there. Insurrecto reinforcements reached
the bridge later in the afternoon, but did
not fire.- They withdrew at night under
orders from their chiefs.' Not a few
Americans were among those who en
tered Juares.
The first person killed on the Amer
lean side of the line waa Antonio Gar

the Associated Press correspondent,
about 200 yards trora the advancing
lnsurrectos across the river. A woman

Glen Cheesraan, of Shreveport. La.;
Mrs. Joseph Morehead. Edmund lieaton
and Luis Villalobas. of El Paso, were
among those wounded, but not fatally.
There was occasional firing tonight
into Juerax, but General Navarro was
In complete command.
In the main insurrecto camp today
confusion reigned. Orders were given
for a general attack, but they were
countermanded. It was argued by
some of the chiefs that since a small
detachment had made such progress.
It was the duty of the remainder of
the army to reinforce It. General Ma
dero wavered In his decision, but Anal
ly decided to stand by his promise of
last night not to 'attack the city.
Flags of truce suffered grossly dur

Madero to make a general attack. It Is
said, reported that the federals had
fired on a trucebearer, but this has not
been confirmed.
At 9:15 o'clock an automobile carry

Madero headquarters for Juares. Gen
eral Navarro was willing during the
day at any hour to s-rant an armistice,
but the lnsurrectos Ignored all offers
in that direction.

according to lnsurrectos and federals,
is tonight estimated at near 30. The

WASHINGTON. May 8. Unless Con

American forces on the Mexican bor

within range of bullets falling in and
around El Paso from Mexican rifles.
"All we can do," said Major-General
Wood, chief of staff, tonight.. "Is to

belligerents against firing in our di

Administration officials are wa(chlng

deep and anxious interest. News
that hostilities had been resumed was
received at the White House this af
ternoon with surprise and disappoint

given hope for peace. President Taft
told callers he believed Diaz' promlwe

the lnsurrectos.
The President's attitude as to Inter

3IorIey Opposes Bill.
LONDON. May 8. Lord Lansdowne,
leader of the opposition In the House
of Lords, today introduced his bill for
the reform of the upper house.
The Unionists, be said, were con
vinced that an amendment to the con
stitution of the House of Lords should
proceed simultaneouhly with a reform
in the relations of the two houses.
They desired to demonstrate to the
country that they could provide an
effective second chamber that -could
be trusted to use Its powers fairly and
faithfully to serve the democracy and
at the siime time be strong enough to
resist the gusts of passion and preju
dice with which all democracies were
familiar.
They proposed a house to consist of
350 Lords of Parliament. No peer
would hold his seat more than 12 years
but they would be eligible for re-elec
tlon.
Peers to Elect Representatives.
The peers themselves would elect 100
members of the peerage possessing the
statutory qualifications, such as being
present or former viceroy!, governors.
privy councillors, members of the
House of Commons, diplomats, naval
and military officials, heads of civil
service departments. Lord Mayors,
provosts, etc.
A second contingent would consist of
120 members to be elected from out
side the House of Lords by an elec
toral college composed of members of
the lower house representing constitu
encies comprised in the electoral dis
tricts into which the country would
be divided.
Princes and BUhops Remain.
The third section of the House, num
bering loo, would be appointed by the
crown on the recommendation of the
cabinet. Princess of the royal blood
would retain their seats, as would also
two archbishops while five bishops
would be elected. Including the Lord
Chancellor and the ex-Lord Chancellor,
there would be 16 low lords. The bill
provides that peers who are not lords
of Parliament shall be eligible to be
elected to the House of Commons.
Under the measure Introduced by
Lord Lansdowne, the power of the
crown to appoint hereditary peers is
limited to nve each year.
viscount Morley. who Immediately
followed Lansdowne, threw cold water
on the plan. He admitted that the
author of the bill had taken a bold
and frank course, but said the gov
ernment could not accept the proposals

The bill passed Its first reading.

NEW YORK. Mav 8. For the first

Denver over long-distance telephone
wires.
Manhattan newspapermen in a down

the Colorado city, picked up Omaha on

A "phantom" telephone, connected
with four copper wires the thickness of

changing messages by telephone and
telegram at once over these four wires.
While the reporters talked, 16 tele
graph operators worked the New York-

wires. The same four wires and the
same current sufficed for the simul

WASHINGTON, May 8. With the sub

Prince Clung and the heads of the 10
executive departments for the old grand
council of Ave, a long step has been
taken toward the establishment of
constitutional government in China, it is
believed here.
It Is a part of the plan to make the
tenure of Cabinet Ministers depend on
the will of the constituent assembly. It
is expected the. action of the govern
ment will reduce the probability of an
extension of the insurrection in the
Canton neighborhood.
A cablegram to the State Department
from Minister Calhoun Indicated that
while Prince Chlng will continue to
supervise the Board of Foreign Affairs,
the actual Minister of Foreign Affairs
will be Llan Tun Yen, whose name was
gazetted. Tsou Ncha-Lian will act as
head of this department until the new
minister returns to China.
