TAKE TO HILLS.
The Rebels Have Evacuted the
Town of Guadalupe.
FederaIs Will Find Place Fmntv
When They Arrive.

Ell Paso, Texas, Feb. 1S.-Reports
from Guadalupe this morning are that
the insurrecto chiefs, covered by their
three hundred armed men, have made
their way into the hills south of there
and that Mexican soldiers from
Juarez will find the place evacuated
when they reach there today. The
federals about 1000 strong have made
slow progress owing to a heavy rain
fall since yesterday. Madero and his
chiefs intend to hold their position in
the mounains they say.
Before MaderO, Gonzales and the
command of insurrectos left Guada-
Iupe, Gutierrez de Lara, the Los An
geles Socialist, who is a captain in the
1nSurrecto army, declared all the labor
unions of the United States would be
appealed to to protest strongly against
the United States maintaining the
army as a guard along the border. He
says the army merely disarms and
releases Mexican federal soldiers ar
rested in the United States, but ar
rests and prosecutes insurrec+os. He
cites the fact that it is costing the
United States about a million dollars
quarterly to guard the border and says
that Mexico does not spend a cent to
help the United States keep back the
hordes of Chinese that flock into this
country from Mexico.
Three freight trains on the Mexican
National railroad moved out of Juare2
this morning for the south in the di-
rection of Chihauhau, following a
work train which left yesterday morn
ing and has not returned.
A train with water for section
houses and stations on the desert
south of here left this morning over
the Mexico Northwestern, bound for
the Mormon colonies and Pearson
General Navarro still has command OF
the railroad and declines to permit
passenger traffic to be attempted at
present.
Mail advices to the Herald from
Torreon say federal troops have
reached Veladena and Pedricena
near there and that the insurrectos
have gone to the hills. The insur-
rectos have burned the Mexican Ma
tional bridge at Pedricena and sack
ed the store of ]. r. Campos at that
place of $3.50 worth of goods.

TO BE SUFFRAGE WEEK.
1t VIII Be Inaugurated Tomorrow in
Albany Churches.

Albany, Feb. 1S.-Suffrage week,
through which the members of various
women clubs of New York hope they

women the right to vote, will be inau-
gurated here tomorrow with several
speeches in the churches. The joint
assembly and senate Judiciary COM
mittees will give hearing on the
matter Wednesday afternoon, when

able scheme calculated to bring the
question before the public will be en-
ployed. from advertising in the news
papers and with electric street signs,
to the exhibition of woman suffrage
films in moving picture shows.
The real work will start Monday,
when drawing room talk will be
given by Mrs Charles Park of Bos-
ton. Other women will make speeches
before various labor unions.
On Wednesday a special train bear
ing 100 anti-suffragists, among them
Mrs. Gilbert Jones, representing the
National League for the Civic Educa-
ton of Women. and Miss Alice Hill
Chittenden, will come up from New
York and suffragists from all over the
state are expected to crowd the assem-
bly, chamber.

that he had not been invited to sit on
the other side or train in the majority
camp.
Speaking of the similarity of the
planks in the two party platforms and
the fact that the Republican measures
have been given precedence over those
OF the minority referring to the same
matter and correcting it or changing it
by the same methods, when that mat
ter relates to party pledges, it is well
to note the exception to the rule.
The recall bill considered by the house
in committee of the whole was the bill
by Davis of Bourbon, Democrat, and
dean of the house members. 1t is true,
that there were difference of opinion
as to the details of the recall measure
The committee amendments to the bill
were sustained by the Republicans and
opposed by the Democrats, but the bill
as it passed is a Democratic bill en-
dorsed by the majority party.
Senator Price, that copper riveted
Standpatter, and considered one of the
ab1est men in the legislature, paid
high tribute to Dick Hopkins, the in
surgent president of the senate, during
the Leahy examination this week. The
chair had taken exception to some
construction placed upon his ruling of
previous question by Senator Price,
and that senator, arising to assure the
chair that he did not intend his re-
marks as an exception, said: 81 have
been in touch with the senate of this
state for many years, but I know of
no presiding officer during all that
period who has excelled Lieutenant
Governor Hopkins in fairness, or par
liamentary knowledge or in capacity
to eXpeditiously conduct the business
of this body" The compliment was
applauded by all the senators pres
ent.
The house and senate have split on
the utilities bill on only one single
rock that is apt to cause any serious
trouble, and that is the matter Of how
the members of the proposed commits
sion are to be appointed. The house
bill provides for their appointment by
the governor; the senate wants them
elected, in order that the governor
may have no hand in the construction
of the commission. The conference
committees on this bill will find this
matter the only hard one to adjust to
the satisfaction of both houses.
