Cheyenne, Wyo.— One detachment o f the Ninth cavalry, under orders for the Mexican border, left here at 6 :30 Sunday night. Other detachments will leave shortly. Junction City, Kan.— Final orders directing the Thirteenth cavalry to proceed to the Mexican border were received Sunflay by Colonel Charles Hatfield, commander o f the regiment. The regiment, neaily 1000 men, and a machine gun platoon, will leave Fort Riley in a few days for El Faso. Naco, A r il.— Mexican rebels have cut all traffic and communication be tween here and Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, where about BOO Americans reside. Shortly afterward a passen ger train arrived here carrying 500 rifles and 150,000 rounds o f ammuni tion, sent by the United States gov ernment from the arsenal at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Tex., to arm the American residents in Cananea. The rebels cut the railway in an at tempt to prevent the shipment of arms from reacning the Americana at Ca- nsprea. The passenger train for Ca nanea was captured by rebels a few miles south of the international line, the engine was derailed and the pas sengers allowed to coast back into the United States on a passenger coach down the grade. Six bridges were burned. Care had been taken to conceal Ihe identity o f the shipment ¡of arms, but news that the Americans o f Cananea had requested Washington authorities to send them arms for self-protection, and that the request had been granted is believed to have become known among the rebel chiefs operating in this vicinity. Not only are American lives be lieved to be in danger as a result of recent operations by the rebels, but the mines must close for lack of fuel within a few days, mining engineers state. Cananea is one o f the most exten sive copper mining centers in the world, and the Cananea Copper com pany is the richest corporation o f its kind in Mexico. The railway destroy ed by rebels runs from a point on the American border to Cananea, and is a part of the Southern Pacific o f Mexico system. In Cananea are about 500 American men and about 50 American women. About 100 o f these are American cow boys from surrounding ranches. Re cent threats of rebel leaders to attack Cananea now are now taken seriously here, in view o f the late develop ments. Initiative and Referendum and Liquor Amendments Are Carritd. I Columbus, Ohio — The women of Ohio failed in their effort to gain the j ballot, according to early returns. W hile the earliest figures on which this result is based come almost from Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, To ledo and Dayton, it was in those places where the suffragists waged their most determined fights snd poli ticians said the result would not be changed by the final returns. The women, it is said, will not give up their fight for the ballot, but plan to use the initiative and referendum to gain another vote. The cities of the state uniformly voted in favor o f ail amendments but suffrage. The farming communities voted against the amendments as a whole, but there was little likelihood that they could offset the big urban majorities. About half the state vote was cast. The initiative and referendum has been adopted, according to the first 950 precincts out o f 5197 in the state. It received 63,093 votes for and 33,085 against. The liquor license had car ried by 55,341 to 20,942. The suffrage vote from 950 pre cincts showed 36,063 for to 55,139 against. The country districts were expected to change this result, how ever. The liquor license proposal provides that licenses to traffic in liquor shall be granted, subject to laws that may be enacted by the legislature. It does not affect the present liquor laws. R O O SE VE LT THIRD. Regular Republicans Maintain Lead in Vermont Election. Montpelier, V t.— The Roosevelt Pro gressive ticket ran a poor third in the state elections in Vermont, with the T a ft Republicans winning by a vote of almost double that o f the Progressive candidate and the Democrats far out numbering the Bull Moose party’s vote. In fact the Roosevelt ticket obtained less than one-quarter o f the total vote o f the state, according to almost complete returns. The Republican plurality, while large, will lack some votes of being a majority, and as a result the election for governor is certain to be thrown into the legislature. Returns for governor from 217 out o f 246 cities and towns gave: Fletch er, Republican, 23,602; Howe, Demo crat, 18,250; Metzger, Progressive, 14,220; Smith, Prohibition, 1425; Suiter, Socialist, 1006. The same places in 1910 gave: Mead, Republican, 31,816; Watson, Democrat, 15,803; Towle, Prohibi tionist, 1052; Ordway, Socialist, 890. Indications from these figures at midnight are roughly that the present vote w ill total: Republicans, 26,236; Democrats, 19,838; Roosevelt Pro gressives, 16,429. E M PLO YE S GET BONUSES.

New York— There will be no ammu nition for British guns in time o f war should Great Britain’s enemy cut off her supply of nitrates from Chile, ac cording to a declaration made by Colo nel Samuel Eyde, of Christiana, Nor way, before the eighth international chemical congress at Columbia Uni versity “ Nitrate o f ammonia pro duced from atmospherice nitrogen is pure, and according to the experience o f the British navy has a great bear ing upon the life o f the guns, the pur ity o f the product reducing the heat.” Vancouver Has Tong War. Vancouver, B. C. — Following re ports o f a battle in China, representa tives o f the two factions in Vancouver began a riot in Market Lane. All day the Orientals hovered about the bulle tin boards, growing more excited to ward evening and finally some 300 Chinamen mingled in battle, using clubs and stones with disastrous effect. Heads were broken right and left, and the windows of Chinatown were smashed indiscriminately. Although many were struck unconscious, they were spirited away by friends. Convicts Honor Booth. San Quentin, Cal.— Nearly 1000 men in stripes paid tribute to the memory o f the late General William Booth, founder o f the Salvation Army, at me morial services held at San Quentin prison. Abraham Ruef, the convicted briber,¡delivered the main address. He eulogized the great Salvationist and dwelt at length on his work for ‘ ‘ the poor Jand the man behind the bars.” Prison inmates and members o f the army corps in San Francisco had arranged a program consisting o f sacred music and addresses. Stimson Reaches Coast. San Francisco — Secretary o f War Stimson is in San Francisco on a tour o f the Western military posts. He is the guest o f the Panama-Pacific Inter national Exposition company and of United States army officers. He was met by Troop A, of the Presidio, at Oakland, which was lined up at the railway station at military attention. The secretary o f war refused to dis cuss his plans in detail, but said ex tensive improvements were contem plated in Western posts. He will formally inspect the Presidio.

Y .— Bonuses aggrega ting $70,000 were distributed to 3100 employes in the mills o f the Alexan der Smith & Sons Carpet company Wednesday. Men and women who have been in the employ o f the com pany 10 years or more received checks for amounts equal to 10 per cent o f their wages for the six months ending June 30. Those of between five and ten years’ standing received 6 per cent bonuses. This was the fourth time within a few years that the firm has thus re membered its older employes. Last March $65,000 was paid to 500 five and ten-year employes and in August, 1911, $40,000 was distributed among the 10-year employes. A few years ago Mrs. Eva Smith Cochran, mother of Alexander Smith Cochran and Gifford A. Cochran, the heaviest stockholder, distributed $100,000 to the 20-year men and women.

C.— In diplematic circles here it is believed that the de lay by Great Britain in asking for ar bitration o f the free tolls section of the Panama Canal act is an indication that the London foreign office event ually will abandon that plan. It has been said that the foreign office was withholding formal action pending a careful study of the act. It is believed that when the British gov ernment comes to understand that the free toll provision o f the act applies AUNT JENNY’S JOHNNY CAKE only to American coastwise trade, in which British shipping cannot partici How Thla Most Popular of Tabls Dainties Is Put Together by pate in any event, the reason for an Southern Cooks. appeal for arbitration will disappear. “ Diplomacy Likely to Fail. London — Regret at the spirit in which the Panama question is being discussed on this side o f the Atlantic is expressed by the Westminster Ga zette, the government organ, whose editor, J. Alfred Spencer, is consider ed as possibly the next British ambas sador at Washington. The charges o f “ Yankee perfidy,” it says in an editorial, have had the effect that might have been expected in the American retort that Europe is strewn with examples o f this perfidy. This only serves to “ generate heat where light is wanted.” It is likely, continues the Gazette, that diplomacy will fail to arrive at a settlement, in which case the govern ment’s course clearly is to ask for ar bitration. In conclusion, it says, President T a ft is so deeply committed to the principle o f arbitration that his refusal to submit the question cannot be conceived. ARM Y PO LICE FOR ALASK A. System Like That o f Canada Being Considered by War Department. San Francisco— The problem o f g iv ing Alaska a thorough military police system may be solved in the near fu ture, not by the stationing o f a regi ment or more o f soldiers there, scat tering the troops through the territor ies by companies, but by establishing a constabulary system modeled some what along the lines o f the Northwest mounted police, which has accom plished wonderful results in Canada. Officers at the Presidio say that such a system o f mounted police is being considered and may go through. I f so, it would he unJer the jurisdic tion of the War department, the mounted officers being recruited from the ranks of the army. Major George H. McManus, o f the inspector general’s department, who has just returned from an inspection tour of Alaska army posts, acknowl edged that such a constabulary was being contemplated. “ Personally,” he said, “ I believe that a system of this kind would work out well. Cer tainly i f a corps as efficient as that of the Northwest mounted police could be developed, it would do much to pre serve law and order in Alaska, possi bly far more than a large number of soldiers.” A cupful of sweet milk, a cupful and * half of buttermilk; a teaspoonful each of salt and of soda— the latter sifted three times In a cupful of meal; one tablespoonful of melted butter.
