Speaking for the government Seno,
Creel said:
The political situation in Chihua
hua continued to be about the same
as it has during the past four weeks
The only difference is that the insur.
gents, who were in possession of the
Guerros district, having been de
feated, have moved.
~ he commander of the troops at
Ciudad Jaurez has notified the war
department that he is confident of be,
ing able to offer successful resistance
to the insurrectos until relief ar
rives. If the the rebels should hap
pen to capture Jaurez it will be only
a few days before the city is retaken
by government troops which are al
ready on the way in sufficient num-
bers to defeat them.
The number of rebels operating in
different groups in the state of Chi
h,iahua does not exceed 1900, while
the federal troops aggregate more
than 1000 men. The reason why the
insurrectos have not yet been con-
trolled by the troops Is because in
the last four weeks they have been
running from one place to another
making use of the best horses, which
they nave stolen from various hacien.
das, but it is only matter of time
when the plans of the secretary of
war will develop in such q way as to
make it impossible for the rebels to
remain much longer in the state of
Chihuahua.

tect foreign interests at every point
In the republic. 1t will not be neces-
sary for American soldiers to go
across the river to Jaurez, and / am
very sure this will not be done"
Officials of the National Railways
of Mexico said the Mexican Central
line from Jaurez to Gallego, 40 miles,
was still tied up, owing to the cut
ting of telegraph wires, burning o.
several bridges and the tearing up OF
sections of track by revolutionists.

Not only did the senator differ as
to the conclusion, hut also as to the
methods of the senatorial committee
lie did not believe the organization
hal properly interpreted the scope or
tits instructions, but felt that 1t had
gone too far in interpreting the
charges in the private complaint by
the Tribune The committee should,
he thought, have borne in mind that
the reputation. the honor, the purity
and the authority OF the senate were
| involved.
"Tnen," he asked earnestly, did
we instruct The guardianship of our
honor or our integrity to any news
paper, or to any man. 1t was the
duty of the committee to investigate
whether corrupt methods or practices
had been resorted to, as directed by
the senate, and not to decide whether

tended, that in following the leader
ship of the Tribune, the committee
had failed to take advantage of many
opportunities to obtain the testi-
mony. Avenue after avenue had teen

Not For a Newspaper.
One effect of the committees
course has been to create a feeling
that this was a persecution rather
than a prosecution, and the speaker
himself confessed the view that the
work was not one In which a news
paper might properly engage. Mr..
Root said he would nave compelled

Is The Slogan With Lexington
Tobacco Warehouses to
Get Business.

Many people are unable to ferret out
the mystery why it is so many crops of
tObpcco are taken from this county to
Fayette to be sold on the breaks there,
when the market here is equally as
good. The fact is easily explained.
Every loose leaf house in Lexington,
realezing that the crop in Madison this
year is the best in Central Kentucky and
is bringing the highest prices, are max
ing a determined effort 10 secure all it
possibly can from here by flooding the
county with advertising matter. The
Climax is carrying large advertisements
for these houses. Every week thou
sands of post cards are sent into this
county from the Lexington houses Civ
ing figures on Madison county crops,
which have sold over the breaks there.
To get business it is necessary to adver-
tise and do it in a systematic way.
Madison county loose leaf houses are
just beginning to Esee what publicity
means, and from now on will give their
Lexington competitors a run for the
money.
Mr.. AZ Cornelison, who sold portion
of his crop over the Lexington breaks
several days ago, says that the prices
here are from 80 cts. to Sl.50 more than
in the Fayette capital In company
with Mr.. B. B. Million he visited the
Richmond Tobacco Warehouse Wednes-
day and was convinced that the market
here is better He will sell the remain
der of his crop here and will make big
effort to have his neighbors do the same.
