DINNER POSTPONED.

The managers of the Mesa Com mercial club ran up against the prob lem of getting service for the pro- posed dinner which was advertised for tomorrow night. This is the Christmas rush season. and prices have gone up. The club is not a millionaire proposition. All the mil lionaires are spending the holidays in New York, Florence or some other resort. and the club did not feel like paying the prices asked for dinner service at this time They figure that there will be a drop in the size of profits after the holidays; the goods will be marked down to Der haps 90 per cent above cost. Hence the dinner will be given in January, the date to be announced later. This will not prevent the board from eo- ing ahead with the work outlined. The secretary is busy answering let ters of prospective Salt River valley settlers and mailing literature.

ZAMACONA SAYS
 PEACE IS IN SIGHT
PRESIDENT TAFT TELLS MExk CAN AMBASSADOR SUCH IS
 HIS HOPE.
Trying to Arrange an Armistice, With Possibility That President Diaz
 Will Resign.

Washington.-Peac in Mexico will soon be restored. according to Senor Manuel de Zamacona, the new ambas- sador if Mexico to the United States, who was presented to President Taft. The ambassador made this prediction in formal speech to the president. In reply, President Taft said the peo- pie of the United States hoped fervent- ly that harmony would soon prevail.
 Peace, momentarily broken in Mex ieo, will soon be restored said the ambassador, when tine effect of the frank and patriotic declarations of the president of the republic. which carry effective guaranty for the legitimate interests linked with the maintenance of order is felt"
 President Taft, in reply, said, in part: "The government of the United States, having none but the best wish es for the happiness of the Mexican people, cannot feel but the liyeliest interests in their peace and prosper ity. It'is therefore the fervent hope of the United States that harmony may soon prevail"
 With the receipt at the state de- partment of adviees confirming the re- port that negotiations for an armistice between the federal and rebel forces are in progress, the opinion was ex- pressed that opportune action had been taken by both sides in the Mex ican revolution to prevent complica- tions with the United States
 It is rumored that with the setting forth of definite proposals from the rcvolutionists, the possibility of an agreement for the abdication of Pres dent Diaz within certain period is not at all unlikely

MORE TROOPS ARE
 SENT TO ARIZONA
PRESIDENT ORDERS AN ENTIRE REGIMENT OF CAVALRY FROM
 DIES MONIES TO BORDER.
A Repetition of the Douglas Incident, 1t Is Feared, Would Lead to
 Serious Complications.

Washington-Brou by the battle of Agua Prieta to full realization of the danger to which American set dement's along the southern frontier are exposed by the civil strife or Mex leo, President Taft has moved s~lftly and vigorously along all the lines ot precaution to prevent any repetition of the Douglas (AriZ.) incident.
 With various rumors floating into Washington of the imminence Of an other conflict at Agua Prieta, the pres idept ordered the entire regiment or the Sixth cavalry from Des Moines, Iowa, to Arizona to reinforce the posts there. This will add 800 men to the guard in Arizona.
 This step supplements Mir. Tafts warning to the Mexican and revolu- tionary authorities that American lives and interests must not be en- dangered by unrestrained border line fighting. It completes, it is said, the administration present program or precaution.
 The fact is emphasized in official quarters that the American troops i'll the South have specific instructions not to cross into Mexico under any circumstances. The officers in com mand have been ordered to. preserve a strict neutrality and to see that American citizens do not expose them selves to unwarranted danger.

House Kills Recall Measure.

Mir. Toler of Grant county called up his resolution proposing an amend ment, embodying the secall and four year tenure in the constitution. The resolution had been adversely report ed on by the committee, and MT. Hurst, as a member of the committee, gave some of the reasons why he be- lieved the measure ought not to pass. In the first place, he declared 1t to be in its very nature one of the most socialistic and undemocratic measures ever proposed in an Arkansas legisla. ture, and that 1t would result in keep ing the state in continual uproar if passed for the political enemies Of any officer, no matter how good and competent, could petition his recall at any time and carry out t&eir purposes with the help of Republicans, Social ists and negroes. Mir. Hardage of Clark county and Mr Clark of Lonoke also vigorously opposed the measure Mir. Toler, in defense of his resoIu- tion, insisted that the people should be given the right to recall bad man from office. MT. Newton of Lonoke seconded MT. Toler in defense of the measure, which was defeated by 6 vote of B to 31.

TERRIFIC BATTLE
 AT AGUA PRIETA
AFTER FIGHT LASTING ENTIRE DAY, REBELS REPULSE THE
 MEXICAN FEDERALS.
Regardless of Warning Sent to Com ba tants, Douglas Is Under Fire
 Throughout Entire Period

Agua Prieta, Mexico.-At 10:45 o'clock D. m the battle between the Mexican federals and insurreetos, which began at dawn, came to an end. After r hours of almost incessant fighting, that hour found the rebels holding almost every position they had at daybreak, although after night fall the federals carried the battle to the borders of the town.
 From the beginning of the battle, regardless of the warning given by the United States government to the leaders of both forces, a rain of bull lets poured into the American town of Douglas, and when the day was over it was found that seven non combatant residents of that city had been wounded.
 It was day almost of terror in Douglas. Dawn revealed the federal forces formed in fan-shaped battle line, in the level country about a mile distant from Agua PTieta, with their machine guns in the center. They gave notice to the enemy of their approach with a hail of bullets from the machine guns, supported by rifle fire, their evident intention be- ing to gain the international line with its adobe guardhouses, and from this vantage ground turn their fire upon the rebels. The insurrectos directed their fire at the crews manning the machine guns. But the fire of the federals was so fierce that it forced the rebels back to their second line of entrenchments. The federals ad. vanced slowly. As they came nearer, the fire of the rebels became more effective. Leaving the protection of their breastworks, they moved out in- to the open, continuing to concentrate the fire upon the machine guns. The federals, finding the rebel defense, after three hours fighting, too strong to enable them to carry the trenches, began to retreat. Presently the ma chine guns were silenced. Sharp shooters had made it impossible long. CT to man them. Sheer exhaustion occasionally caused a partial lull in the llSullIlS AL II Q CLOCK Ile re pulsed federals had reformed and again advanced to gain the boundary line, making their movement with heavy rifle fire. The machine guns were silent. The rebels, encouraged by the early success, returned the fire. The interval had been employed by the rebels in digging new trenches The advance guard of the federals in this attack consisted of 50 cavalry men and 300 infantry. Behind them was a supporting party that kept un der cover of trees and bushes. Inc federals reserved their fire, but an unceasing stream of bullets poured from the trenches. These, striking the dry earth, made it appear as though dust storm was raging, and fos time served to obscure a view of the conflict. The advancing fed erals again found the strength and determination of the insurrectos toe great for them. They fell back, but in good order, firing as they retired, and left the field, their two machine guns in the possession of the rebels

By J. H. HAND. l
Reunion Bill Debated.

A bill providing for the appropria- tion of 5000 for maintenance of vet erans while at the reunion, and & ,000 to pay travelling expenses of indigent veterans was given a wide range of discussion in the house. Representa- tive Little of Mississippi proposed an amendment appropriating the entire amount to the care and maintenance of the old soldiers while attending the reunion. He thought that the people of Arkansas would cheerfully pay this sum for the comfort of those members of the thinning ranks of gray, many of whom will on that occasion visit the capital of our state for the first time and possibly the last reunion they will ever be permitted to attend. Representative Warnock of Columbia took the position that inasmuch as Little Rock had taken upon herself the entertainment of the reunion she should do it without state aid. Rep resentative Bradham insisted that if Little Rock did make the contract, 1t IS one of which the state ought to feel proud and endorse in public spirited and liberal manner. He was proud of his capital city, whose noble citi, zens helped to get this reunion He has no sympathy for the feeling ex. pressed by some against Little Rock and other larger cities. Representa- tive Davis of Lafayette opposed the measure and thought that the money would serve more useful purpose if diverted into the pension fund, where those who get 1t can use it as they see fit Representative Toler of Grant offered to amend by reducing the appropriation to $2,500, which was rejected, and Representative Neal of fered aa amendment to apply all to the payment of travelling expenses, which was held out of order. MT. Lit tie again speaking on the question, said he thought the state should be glad of this opportunity 10 pay a just tribute to the Confederate veteran. That as an advertising proposition 1t would return a hundred fold to the state in after years. The important thing is to properly take care of this great army while in our must. I feel sure that no one wants to see it fail in any way. Even the United States government has offered assistance. and if I had fat5er who had worn the bronze badge of the Confectionery would feel him insulted .t the oppo- sition against this measure"

UNREST EXTENDS
 ALL OVER MEXICO
SUSPENSION OF PERSONAL GUAR. ANTEEs HAS NOT STOPPED
 BRlGANDAGE.
With Cries of "viva Madero," Toll Is Levied Upon Everything of Value
 the Raiders Can Carry Away.

Mexico City.-That disturbances and unrest extend practically through ont the country as a result of the revolutionary movement is indicated by reports that are reaching Mexico City from day to day. With the ex- eeption of the states of Colima, Ia ma llipas and Queretaro, every state in Mexico has been the scene Of dis turbance at one time or another. The territory of Tepic has been free of trouble.
 The war department, however, has chaTa steriZed these disturbances as the work of bandits. But in the ma jority of instances the raiders have made their assaults crying Viva Ma dero.a and not infrequently their vic tins have been supplied with receipts for the money and property appro- priated Whether these bands are rebels loosely affiliated with the rev olltionary army in the north or mere ly brigands, cannot be determined. Their tactics are those of brigands, but So have been the tactics Of the rebels in countless cases. Neither "brieands" nor rebels have found 1t desirable to hold sacked towns.
 Apparently they cared only for what the village, hacienda or railway train would yield in money or supplies
 Notwithstanding the suspension of personal guarantees and the deter mined effort of government troops to wipe out this "brigandage," the nuni- Der of cases is growing steadily. In the states of Guerrero, Puebla, Yuea- tan and Morelos. these minor disturb anees have been most frequent. The sending of troops to one region is usually the signal for an increased number of outbreaks in other regions.
 Rebels Evacuate Agua Prieta.
 After resisting an attack by the fed trals which lasted r hours, at the md of which time the government troops retired, leaving two field pleces in the hands of the rebels, the latter quietly evacuated Agua Prieta during the night and when the federals re- turned to the attack next day their entrance to the town was unhampered. It is generally believed that the reb- sls' supply of ammunition was ex- lausted. They are said to have told Americans across the border that they would shortly return.

elick-caIvert Bulk Sales Bill.

By flessrs. Black and Calvert of Sc bastiab: The bill provides that no re tail merchant shall sell his stock in bulk without furnishing the purchaser a list pf creditors. The object sought is to4revent retailers who buy goods on crsodit from selling out in bulk and thereby defeating the rights of the wholeealer from whom the goods wera bought on credit. Mir. Calvert, in sup port df the bill, declared that it is . measrre in the interest of business honesty among honest retail dealers; that 1t cannot possibly affect the con. sumer and at the same time protects the rights of the wholesaler. M-. Hurst opposed the bill on the grounds that he thought it strictly in the in. terests of the wholesaler, both in and out of Arkansas. A corporation law. yer drew the bill. The interest back of the bill is the wholesaler outside of the State of Arkansas. Mir. Yadon oi Johnson There is merit in the bill regardless of passionate appeals in opposition. No honest retailer can object to it. Gus Blass Company, the biggest retail merchant in Arkansas. wrote letters to members against it. If you want to protect the business integrity of our states commerce, pass this bill" Mir. Black of Sebastian, iu support of the bill, said: Some slurs have been thrown at the 1obbers of Fort Smith in arraignment of the wholesale interests. If tke bill can be repressed the dishonest wholesaler can work his graft through eollusion with dishonest reailers." Mr. Grant of Jackson thought there was no good reason why such bill should be passed, but rather that it would in. fringe upon the constitutional rights of exemption. MT. Going of Poinsett supported the bill This till does not curtail the rights of any honest dealer. He believes that Arkansas has reached that stage of moral standing where she is as ready to protects the rights of one class as of another and when appeals to passion and prejudice in attempting to array one class against another are getting to be odious. It is the dishonest merchant who does not want his purposes shackled by the law that is objecting to the passage of this bill" Mir. Davis of Lafayette thought the wholesale merchants are amply protected. Indefinitely post poned and virtually killed.
