BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.
WARWICK CLARK AND GOV. H0GG
MEASURE LANCEs AT CAMERON.
There Was a Large Crowd and 1t Was
Anybody's Day as to the Result.
Mr.. Clark IDjects New
Issue Into the Campaign.

CAMERON, Tex, May SIT was a
great day for Cameron, greatest it has
ever had since the celebrated debate
between Ross and Swain in 1856. The
crowd here today trebled their audi
ence. Special trains brought people
in from every direction. The entire
town and the woods adjacent were
filled with them. Not one-third of
the crowd could get within hearing
distance of the speakers. There may
have been 5000 people here, certainly
not less than 5000. 1t was neither
mans crowd. AS near as could be
judged by the volume Of applause
it was evenly divided. The
Clark men had the strongest
lungs and hurrahed loudest.
Contrary to expectations, the debate
did not even get within speaking dis
tance of personalities. The speakers
referred TO each other in the most re-
spectful terms and stuck closely to
the issues previously sprung in the
campaign. The most effective lick
made by the governor, judged by the
demonstration, was when he asked
Judge Clark If he voted for the COM
mission amendment. Clark shook his
head and the Hogg part of the crowd
raised a tumult. The governor took
hi tn hn n cciA hnt 10 rly
had voted against the commission,
but was interrupted by the latter who
remarked that he merely said that he
had not voted for the amendment.
The feature of Clark's speech was
his closing reference to the commits
sion. 1t was surprise to all who
heard it and set all tongues agog. He
said that revolutions never go back
wards, that the commission must go
forward or fall into desuetude. AL
ready, he said, the commission has
been confronted with problems before
which it is powerless. He referred to
the San Antonio strike, where the
commission declared it could do moth
ing for the cause of labor, which is
least able to help itself; already men
who helped to shape the San Antonio
platform are flocking to new parts
which declares for government
ownership of railroads and telegraph
because they are dissatisfied with gov
ernment regulations. He proposed to
60 on improving the commission now
so as to include the question of arbi
tration of disputes with employees and
all other questions that may arise In
future. This unexpected declaration
met with emphatic approval, even the
Hogg men joining IN applause. 1t il
taken to be a bold injection of a new
issue into the campaign tron
which George Clark cannot .fai
to reap some benefit The
Interruptions of both speakers were
numerous, but neither paid much at
tention to the calls from the audience
Their time was limited and they
would not be interrupted. They wer'
both smiling and in good trim, though
the Governor has the best of the War
wick in matter of voice. The other ha
talked himself hoarse. His voice fit
around in all keys. 1t can not be sale
to be a triumph for either side, ant
each side can fairly claim that it cam
out unscathed. 1t was day for all.

SAVAGE WARFARE.
Serious Threat of Venezuela's President and
Savage Retort.

NEW YORK, May 3.-A Herald dis
patch from Barquisimeto, Venezuela,
says that Dictator Palacio, whose
alleged threat to kill the 23-year-old
son of General Crespo as soon as the
last named comes within league Of
Caracas, has reached the headquar-
ters of the revolutionists, and has ex-
cited great indignation. Gen. Crespo
declares that if his son is put to death
Palacio will be burned at the stake in
the plaza in front Of Case Amarillo.
The revolutionists will do all they can
to prevent the dictator from carrying
out his threat, but if he should kill
Young Crespo, Palacio may expect, il
captured, to be cremated.

up the presidents message on the
subject of an international conference
