GREAT DISASTER
Sounds Warning of the Coming Of
Old Fashioned Democratic
Hard Times.

LGate City Leased Wire Service.
/, WASHINGTON, May 6.-This was
the last day of the free-for-all two
weeks oratorical marathon in the
house of representatives. Debates on
the farmers free list bill was conclud-
ed before the house adjourned tonight.
Uncle Joe Cannon, voicing the pro
test of the republican protective
standpatters against the democratic
revision predicted calamity and dire
disaster as the result of the work of
this session of congress: declared
that wages were going down, and
scored the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment.
'If this session lasts until snow
flies said Uncle Joe, disaster after
disaster will strike the country. Al
ready the cost of living has begun to
go down. Employers will Immediately
begin to lower wages, and the old
fashioned democratic hard times
will be upon us Fourteen
speakers shouted their approv-
al or disapprovial of the iree
list bill today. On Monday the bill
will be read for amendment under the
five-minute rule, and it is expected
that the republican minority will en-
deavor to embarrass the democrats
by proposing amendments, free listing
various articles which the democrats
will be forced to vote down. A final
vote, Floor Leader Underwood said
today, probably will be reached Mon

his accusation of Father Villerzi, the

Game-cock Is Re adv

Ell PASO, May 6.-The temper of
the federal troops under Navarro
was shown tonight when ol. Manuel
Tambourel, the doughty little game
cock commanding the garrison under
Navarro, said:
"Diaz will not resign. They are
cowaizis and are afraid to fight. Let
them come ahead, we are ready for
them whenever they want to give
battle
Tambourel has opposed the armis-
tice all along and has insisted that
Francesca Madero's troops would not
give battle il they could help it. To-
night he massed his $50 regular troops
and 800 volunteer defenders in the
breastworks thrown up earlier to the
west of Juarez. He also has mounted
his artillery west of the city and to-
night the Juare. garrison slept on its
arms waiting for Maderos force to
open the attack.
The insurgents tonight advanced so
far as the river float opposite the Ell
Paso union station and there began
to throw up breastworks. 1t is report
ported that large supply of ammuni-
tion was also placed in the trenches
to be used by insurgent sharpshooters
The insurgent force totals upwards
of 1000 men, despite the belief that
the inactivity OF nearly two weeks
is believed to have reduced Madero's s
ranks. Differences yesterday and to-
day between Garibaldi'r soldiers and
Villas rough riders are believed to
have resulted merely from the irrita-
ton engendered by inaction and the
rebel forces are expected to act IN
perfect concert, now that the time for
action is approaching.
Judge Carbajal this afternoon re-
ceived several long cipher messages
from Mexico City but he refused to
divulge their contents. He still in
sists however, that he has not trans
mitted to President Diaz the insurgent
ultimatum. Both Messrs. Braniff and

the situation but they intimated
strongly that it is now up to Mad
ero" and that he must fight it out or
run away

DENVER. Colo, May 6.--"Speer or
nobody
This was the slogan of the support
ers Of the candidacy of Mayor Robert
w. Speer of Denver for the United
States senate when they went into the
final joint session of the eighteenth
Colorado general assembly at $50
o'clock tonight
And it was nobody
The Speer forces, as the session
began, expressed the utmost conf
dence that the mayor would be the
successor of the late Chas. j. Hughes,
Jr, in the upper house of congress,
but outward indications did not ap-
pear to bear out their confidence.
The indications were when the final
joint session began that it would be
nobody. The agreement of the as
sembly to adjourn sine die at midnight
tonight made it necessary to select a
toga wearer by that hour or Colorado
would have only partial representa-
ton in the United States senate dur
ing the next two years. When the
joint session opened the program was
to ballot continuously until sine die
adjournment.
The democratic forces in the leg
islature had aligned themselves into
two factions-Speerites and anti
Speerites. There are 6S democrats
in the general assembly and each side
had "a votes. All democratic candi-
dates had combined to overthrow
Speer. None had any real hope OF
election, but they merely wished to
assure the defeat of the Denver exc.
cutive.
