PROVISIONAL
ARMY IS
ROUTED
EIGHT HUNDRED DEAD LEFT
ON THE FIELD.
N0REL|EFFOR INJURED
(Ry United Press Leased Wlre.)

(By United Press Leased Wlre.)
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, by wire
less to Colon, March 3.-The total
rout of the provisional army under
Chamorro, who left 500 dead and
hundreds wounded on the field OF
battle, near Tisnna, 10 reported hero
today in official dispatches from
the scene Of conflict.
This indicates tha. the lnsuruent
movement against Managua has re-
suited disastrously for the insurrec-
tionists, and the forces Of Madrix
have saved the capital from cap
ture. Dispatches say that chamorro
escaped with only a few natives
and Americans, the remainder Of
his army being cut to pieces.
The government forces are re-
ported to have been strengthened
at critical time by the addition Of
500 fresh Honduran troops. These
turned the tide Of battle against the
PROFESSIONALS, who fled in panic,
leaving their dead and wounded.
The plight of the wounded was
pitiable, many being left on the
field suffering from horrible
wounds and with no chance Of med
ical attention.

1t is practically impossible to bring
the bodies out and the snow will
prevent dissolution for days.
Five undertakers and assistants
left Scenic early this morning over

They were equipped with embalm-

from here to Wellington have been

CONGRESS CLEARS
FILES FOR RECESS
Supply Bills to Be Hurried and
Adjournment Taken Until
January 5

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Congress
is expected to adjourn Wednesday for
the holiday recess and not to resume
business until January 5. The resolu-
ton, which passed the house, probably
will be brought up in the senate TO-
morrow. No objection to the program
has appeared, as it is practically GER
tain that half a dozen of the big sup
ply bills will be out of the way by
Wednesday night.
Business before both houses thus far
has not stimulated much public in
terest and seats in the galleries have
gone begging. The omnibus claims bill
in the senate has failed to attract
crowds and the appropriation bills III
the house proved no better magnet.
DREARY SESSIONS IN SENATE
Outside of the claims bill there has
been no business before the senate ex-
cept the Cummins resolution to change
the rules of the senate and house so
as to facilitate piecemeal revision of the
tariff. Indications are that the resolu-
tior will be sent to the senate rules
committee before the recess.
The rules committee is generally be-
lieved to be opposed to the adoption of
any measure which would undertake
to deal with the rules of the house.
The indications are that some measures
may be reported out which would give
the senate an opportunity of voting
on some form of cloture for itself.
The question of legislation to create
a permanent tariff commission is al
ready gaining more attention in the
house than in the senate, where there
has been a disposition to await the out
come of conferences being held by Rep
resenta tiVes Longworth of Ohio, Goode
of Iowa and Lenroot of Wisconsin.
TARIFF BOARD ENLARGEMENT
Whether these members are about to
harmonize their differences has not
been clear. 1t is in the house as a
whole that there is sentiment generally
for the enlargement of the tariff board
and making it's existence continuous
for at least six years. Some members
favor making the life of the commits
sion ten years, while others favor
twenty years. Most serious of all ques-
tions involved is that of giving the
commission power to demand books
and papers of corporations. Many
members favor having the commission
call for such documents when they be-
lieve them necessary and in the event
of refusal to make reports to congress
with view to separate action in each
case.
The report of the Ballinger- Pinchot
investigation is still slumbering in the
house committee on agriculture. Min
ority members of the committee are
threatening to demand a report from
the committee on agriculture so that
a vote on the merits of the majority
and minority views might be had i'm
the house, but no step in that direction
has yet been taken. There appears little
prospect of action in the senate.

only a trifle worse than things which
are permitted every week in this city.

JUSTICE HUGHES NOT
NURSING A GRIEVANCE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-There has
been much gossip in political circles in
Washington following the elevation Of
Associate Justice White to the chief
justiceship of the supreme court of the
United States. This gossip has CEN
tered to a great extent in the suppoSl-
tion that the failure of President Taft
to fulfill the expectation. general in
Washington, that Associate Justice
Hughes would receive this promotion,
would leave the latter in position
whereby he would be available for a
Republican presidential nomination in
1912. Those in the confidence of Jus :
tice Hughes know he is distressed By
this talk, especially so by the infer
ence in some quarters that he is nurs'
ing a grievance because he was not
promoted to the chief justlceship.
Justice Hughes has steadfastly re-
fused, since his elevation to the SUI
preme court bench, to talk for publi-
cation, nevertheless it can be said
with unqualified earnestness and best
authority that he harbors no such
grievance: that he was never promised
the chief justiceship that he recog-
nizes the fitness and propriety of the
appointment of Justice White as chief
Justice: that he is not and does not
intend ever to be a candidate for the
presidency. and particularly that he is
happy in his work and desires to be
left alone to do it to the best of his
abiliy
