row mountain gorge and deadly fire
poured into them from the heights
above. A retreat was ordered but be-
fore the men could escape, at least
half their number was killed and many
others wounded.
CAUGHT IN TRAP
The government troops were caught
in a trap and were literally moved
down by a storm of bullets which
swept their ranks from three direc-
tions. The insurrectos occupied the
cliffs and mountains and the soldiers
were in the road with only one way Of
escaping, and that blocked. OF 200
men who went into the pass only 40
escaped so far as is known.
OTHER SIDE FARED WELL.
The revolutionists' loss is said to
have been slight, only fiye men being
killed according to their reports. The
fighting started Jan Is, when a small
band of insurrectos were routed at Co
yama A column of 200 soldiers pur-
sued the fleeing insurrectos and ran
into the trap set for them.

FLINT IN ATTACK
California Senator Denounces
Plan of Cummins for Piece
meal Revision.
SAYS PEOPLE ARE FOOLED
Declares They Think They Want
Tariff Changes but They Will
Find Out Otherwise.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Piecemeal
revision of the tariff was attacked
vigorously in the senate today by
Senator Flint of California, a mem
Der of the finance committee which
helped frame the Payne-Aldrich
law. He deplored the fact that the
results of the last election seemed
revision and he charged that the
probable effect of such action was
not understood by the people.
The local protectionists have
been discussing this matter in the
several sections of the country" he
said, "one contending for revision in
one particular in one place and an
other for revision in another partic-
ular in some other place. each one
laboring under the impression that
he was fooling the rest of the coun-
try and only very certainly fooling
himself"
OPPOSES CUMMINS' VIEW.
Senator Flint based his speech
upon the Cummins resolution which
IS designed to limit the power of
amendment to schedules actually un-
der consideration and to prevent the
weighing Of the interests Of one sec
tion against another in what is com
monty termed "log-rolling The
California senator contended that
the very essence of the protective
system is TO frame bill which would
protect the industries of the entire
country against the competition of
the balance of the world. Through
an alleged misunderstanding of the
real situation, Senator Flint said the
people of one community had been
given TO understand that they were
to receive the benefits of a revision
of the tariff on articles they consume
or use in their manufactures and suf-
fer none of the disadvantages, and
that this sort of argument had gone
on all over the country.
Already they are beginning to
awaken in the west to the fact that
they are outnumbered in the east"
said Mr.. Flint.
CLAIM BILL GOES OVER
Washington, Jan. 23.-Action on the

Campaign of Education Only Way
TO Fight Ito Years Needed

Washington. Jan. 23.-Five millions
OF Americans have hookworm, as dis
closed through the investigation OF the
disease by the experts of the Rookie
feller commission.
Hookworm is spreading IN the Unit
ed States. The commission, which
has expended thousands OF dollars in
investigating the malady, has discov-
cred evidences of the development OF
this parasite in Arizona, California and
other western states.
WILL MAKE REPORT.
At the annual meeting of the com
mission in New York next Wednes-
day. a report will be made on the raw
ages of the disease last year.
II is expected the report will tell of
bad conditions IN some states where ii
is not generally known the hookworm
exists. Ignorance is the principal diff
fculty the physicians are meeting in
the south.
The commission has discovered that
the only real way TO stop the spread
of the disease is by teaching the poor
er people to keep themselves clean
and introduce sanitation into their
homes and schools and factories

almost every day into new territory by

Sucker Legislature is
Reeking With Cor
ruption,
SEN. GAMBLE ASSERTS
Yet, He Contends, There Is No
Proof That Lorimer Is
Contaminated.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Gar
BILE. OF South Dakota, today spoke
support OF the findings OF the majorit
of the subcommittee that investigated
the election OF Lorimer. Gamble de-
clared money had been used in the IL
linois Legislature for unlawful and un-
worthy purposes. but maintained there
was no evidence worthy OF belief that
such funds were used for the election
OF a senator.
CORRUPTION COMMON.
The legislature OF Illinois was held
up by the speaker as a body in which
corruption has prevailed and in which
money has been received by members
for unlawful and unworthy purposes.
Funds have been distributed after ad-
Journment among those who had been
responsible for certain legislation, but
never had II been shown by any evi-
dence worthy, in Candles opinion, OF
belief, that such funds were used for
the election Of a senator.
SHOULD NOT SUFFER.
'T feel" said the speaker. THAT IL
Lorimer be guiltless as regards these
practices and a sufficient number OF
votes of the membership who voted for
him were not tainted or corrupted,
then he should not be made to suffer
as a result of the general practice
which appears to have been in vogue
throughout different legislative ses-
sions, as affecting matters OF legisla,
tion solely, and disassociated from
the election OF a United States sena-
tor"
ONE MAJORITY, ANYWAY.
The speaker analyzed the vote cast
In the election and argued. citing au-
thorities. that even the exclusion OF
the votes cast for Lorimer and alleg-
ed TO have been tainted. would yet
eave Lorimer a clear majority Of one.

FALSE REPORT THE CAUSE
COoIie Found by British Police in Dy-
ing ConGTtiOn and Rumor Starts
He Was Beaten.

Hankow, China, Jan. 23.-The
death of a coolie from natural causes
precipitated a bloody riot here yes
terday and necessitated the landing
of marines and bluejackets from
British and German gunboats to pro-
tect foreign residents, several of
whom were injured. Fierce fighting
followed and many Chinese we're
killed.
The coolie was found in a state
of collapse by the British police. He
died soon after being picked up on
the street and the natives suspected
the police had killed him. This re-
port was spread through the city and
instantly the disorder began.
MOBs FORMED.
Mobs formed and moved toward
the foreign residential and business
section of the city. The British po-
lice were powerless to check the in
furiated Chinese and a call for help
was sent TO the gunboats in the
river.
Armed detachments were rushed
TO the scenes OF the riots and
bloody battle followed Both the
English and German sailors fred in
to the mobs and then made bay
onet charge. The streets were final
ly cleared, but not before many were
killed.
After the landing OF the British
and German marines, volunteers
we're called out to defend the for
eign community. Several foreigners
were injured.
There were no casualties i'm the
ranks OF the British or Germans. AL
though several marines we're injured
by missiles hurled by the mob.
