Fl PasO. Dec 16.-The federal troops were completely overthrown In an engagement lasting several hours at LaJunta. a small town near Min aca, on the Mexico Northwestern X orient railroad, according to authen- tie information received here.

 The fight at LaJunta is believed to have been a continuation of the bat tie reported from the vicinity of san Andres on Thursday night

SCHEDULE BY SCHEDULE
Democratic House Will Try to Revise Tariff-A Call Sent Out to the Members for a Caucus on January 19 to Devise Measures.

Washington. Dec. 16.-Champ Clark his platform as a prospective speaker of the democratic house in the next congress He prOclaims himself in favor of the appointment of the house committees by a committee. rather than by the speaker; he states his belief that the tariff will be revised. schedule by schedule. rather than by single bill. Those two subjects. he says. are the ones upon which he has been continually importuned to make a statement.
 The democratic house members sent call today for a caucus on Jan uary 19 of the democratic member ship of the next house.
 Mir. Clark's statement is both an explanation of the call and a declara- ton of his own platform as the prob able speaker. The caucus will select a ways and means committee. and rules committee. somewhat larger than the present committee of seven. Mir. Clark believes that one of those committees should then be empower ed to select the other committees of the house.
 There are two theories as to tariff revision" said MT. Clark in his state ment. revision by one general bill. and revision by separate bills for separate schedules. This matter is not principle. but method. Individually. I prefer the scheme by separate bills and separate sched- ules. taking the schedules with the most obnoxious features first. per haps in certain cases, having sepa- rate bills for particular items"
 The statement proceeds to say. that whatever method is decided upon. full hearing as comprehensive as that which preceded the framing of the Payne-Aldrich law will be had by the new ways and means committee
 The assumption growing out of ignorance in certain quarters says MT. Clark. that President Taft, Sen ator Cummins or any other republi- can, discovered something new in tariff revision by the separate sched- ule scheme is prepOsterous.
 As far back as the Fifty second congress Chairman Springer intro duced separate bills for separate schedules. even for particular items These were derisively denOminated Springer's popgun bills by ribald re- publican speakers and writers, and several years before Judge Springer was chairman of the committee on ways and means. Mir. Mckenzie of Kentucky achieved great renOwn and the sobriquet. Quinine Jim.' by se- curing the passage of a bill putting quinine on the free list, touching no other item whatsoever in any tariff revision"

Canadian Government Rejects Resolutions FOR NEW ORDER OF THINGS
Replying to Their Roasted Representation of Great Wealth, Premier Finds That Canadian .Condi- tions Are Not So Bad.

Ottawa. Dec. l6-A delegation of 1000 Canadian farmers presented their demands to the Canadian government today and received an answer As result, there are thousands of rather disappointed strangers in the Canadian capital tonight The gov ernment, represented by Premier Sir Wilfred Laurier, did not meet the ex- pectations of the delegation.
 The farmers asked for an imme- diate revision of the tariff downward: : free trade on agricultural implements. cement, lumber and fish and the nat United States; a larger measure of preference to Great Britain and a program that would lead to free trade with England in ten years. and finally to direct taxation.
 They asked for government owner ship and control of terminal eleva- tors; a government built and operated railroad to Hudson bay; the estab- lishmenr by the government of a chilled meat industry in western Can ada; amendments to the railway law which would tend to lower rates and compel the companies to pay for stock killed on the tracks; a bill to facilitate the formation of co-opera- tive societies, and that bank charters should not be renewed for more than one year.
 Each demand was presented in the form of q resolution adopted by the Canadian Council of Agriculture. The members of the government were present in a body, and the reply was made by Sir Wilfred Laurier He referred only to the tariff, the Hud- son bay railroad and the elevator pro- posals. or the tariff the premier said that it would not be wise to make the extensive revision asked for until the reciprocity negotiations now in progress with the United States were concluded. The goal of the government was in the direction in which the farmers were moving, he added.
 Of the elevator proposal the pre- mier said the remedy proposed would not be effective, for if Canada owned the elevators on the Great Lakes there would still be s-shipments to the port of Colborne, Montreal. where mixing frauds could be per- petrated.
 Of the Hudson bay railroad he said: The government is not' prepared to go on with the construction of the road at this moment. I am not a supporter of government ownership but as to that l may be persuaded: as to government operation l may be persuaded also but with greater difficulty"
 Of the general question of admins tration, Sir Wilfred referred to the claim that the delegation represented $500, 100000 in property wealth. If the farmers who have been in the west less than twenty years have been able to accumulate that amount of property, it does not, after all. argue a very bad condition of things in Canada" he said. Tt has been said that the whole of the farmers of the west have accumulated wealth to the amount of $1 .50O, DOC. .O0O Things might be better in Canada, but. re- peat. after all. they are not so very bad
 The leaders of the delegation say the prime minister did not go far enough on the tariff. the elevator questions and the railroads
