1000 federals from Chihuahua or Jose
De La Leg Blanco, with $50 Insurrectos
from Casas Grandes, arrived first.
\ rumor reached here Wednesday
night that Navarro had met with a re-
verse but il was only a rumor. Wires
being down, il could not be investi-
gated one story was that II train on
which he was travelling had been blown
up ana another had it that Cen Blanco
had met and defeated him. With ref
erence to Blanco. the rumor is inn
probable, for his force Is numerically
inferior t. that of the federal leader.
If Navarro reaches JuareZ first, il
would he folly. apparently. for 0roZco

achievements from Alanis and Blan
cH. Alanis was camped Tuesday night

taken across the river at this
point and Wednesday morning Alanis

Orozco consolidated lis force Wednes-
day when 100 men. who had been on
duty in the mountains Joined the go

pioyed Wednesday in digging rifle pits
and placing boulders where they
would afford the most protection in

American soldiers and National

here are numerically inadequate to the

Governmental measures to suppress

began after the publication two months

civilians at Cerro Prieto. An American
newspaper man was detained for near

a permit.
Wednesday, il was discovered that
there had been no such dispensations'

For the government, Mr.. Fielding

Mr.. Monks motion was defeated on
n straight party division by gov
crnment majority of % and the House
went into committee on the .resolu-
ton.
The reciprocity measure is so far
reaching" said MIR Borden. leader
Of the Opposition. the first speaker in
committee, that no man can tell what
its consequence will be. In the last
forty years Canada has made great
strides towards development and no
man can say that our progress has
been faster than it has been. Fer 10
years Nc nave been seeking and the
United states has been denying re-
clprocity. And. now. when their nat
ural resources Of timber. minerals and
agriculture are being overtaken by the
demands Of their population they turn
to US
MIR. Borden said there should be
no arrangement which should turn
the trade currents of CANADA 10 nortn
and south and render the proposed
Hudson Bay Railroad. The Georgian
Bay canal. the National Trans-Con-
tinental Railway and the enlarge
mont of the Welland canal useless.
NO one favors more than l the
maintenance of good relations with
tho United States" continued Mr..
Borden. but that country has made
tariffs to suit itself and Canada could
we'll take lesson in this case
He said it was true that the United
states could at any time take down
its tariff walls, but it was not the
business of Canada to induce them
to do so. Some of the results OF the
a greement which Mr.. Borden foresaw
were the abandonment of the BRIT
ish markets which Canada had nuiis
m with effort and treasure Tor A.
wears and the growth of commerce
with the United States which Wouio
eventually lead to commerclal union
with that country. He summoned up
the oppositions position by saying tha'
canada should follow the paths she
is now treading without thought Oh
the United states whose favor Oh TO-
1oy might he withdrawn tomorrow.

When Beveridge charged him with

position was mot necessarily hostile.
In. response to an inquiry by Dilling-

When Nelson asked why wheat had
been put on the free list and -four had

dianan said that the Canadians would

Canada could not send wheat enough
