BRYAN TRYING TO
DICTATE To SENATE

Washington, April 6.-Whether for
ty-one senators constituting the demo-
cratic party in the senate shall sup
port conservative or a progress pol
icy during the present session Of con-
gress, formed the subject Of an ear
nest and animated conference partici-
pated in by about fifteen democratic
senators. The meeting was held in
the committee rooms of Senator Stone
Of Missouri.
The gathering grew out of the visit
of William j. Bryan and was due to
the prospect that Senator Martin of
Virginia would be elected chairman of
the democratic senatorial caucus. The
Nebraska leader is understood to have
counselled his intimate senatorial
friends to select some other senator
more inclined toward the Bryan poll
Cies.
Mr.. Bryan offered no personal op-
position to Mr.. Martin, but pleaded
that the party should take advantage
of it's present great opportunity. He
thought this could be done only
through an aggressive policy to which,
in Mr.. Bryan's opinion, Mr. Martins
membership would not be conducive.
AS many of the democratic senators
had pledged their votes to their Vir.
ginian colleague. the situation was EN-.
barrassing.

MeXicali, Mex, April 6.-Simeon
Berthold's force of insurrectos was

deserter from the United States army
Bertholds fate is unknown but the fu-

MEXICAN PEACE
NOW SEEMS REMOTE
MADERO IN TOUGH WITH OlAZ,
MAKES TOO DRASTIC
DEMANDS.

Chihuahua, Mex, April 6. - What.
ever negotiations were in progress
elsewhere, peace seemed to be remote
here, where the insurrectos were
known to be encamped near the city in
great numbers. 1t was learned on high
authority that for thirty-six hours tel
egraphic communication had been
kept up between Mexico City and a
point in the field occupied by Fran
cisco l. Madero. The nature OF the
communications was not divulged but
1T was given out they concerned Ma
dero's attitude toward peace in the
light of President DiaZ's recent mes
sage to congress. Efforts were made,
it Is said, to ascertain without the help
of an intermediary, just what would
induce Madero to law down his arms
and bring about tranquilities. Conces-
sions of even greater Importance than
offered in the DiaZ message were sug-
gested, it is said but without avail.
The communications stopped sudden
iy and with apparent determination
that they would not be resumed. I'm
mediately the work of building de-
lenses of security Of the city was re-
Sumed with renewed yigor.
