BULL FIGHTERS
DREW The CROWDS
WAsHlNGToN's BIRTHDAY cELE
!5RATED IN UNUSUAL FASHION
ACROSS THE BORDER.
Texas and Mexico Towns Join in Big
Festivities and Engaged Fighters
Who Kill Three Bulls.

Laredo, Tex, Feb. 22.-George
Washington's birthday, as for the past
fourteen years, was celebrated in this
city today on a magnificent scale
Nueyo Laredo, just across the border
In Mexico, declared the day holiday,
ihmething without precedent ana
both cities joined in the festivities.
The principal feature of the day on
tae American side was an attack on
the City Hall by Indians and the cap
turing OF the keys to the city by the
marauding savages, consisting OF
about 100 members of the Improved
Order of Red Men. The keys were
surrendered to Pocohontas, after
which the several hundred partici-
pants joined in ltriumphal march
about the city in pageant which in
cluded many beautifully decorated car
riages, automobiles, allegorical floats
and trades displays, together with
hundreds of military, cowboy, Indian
and comic features. The parade was
witnessed by fully 10000 people.
Festivities have been going on since
the 18th of the month, and various en-
tertalnments for the visiting crowds
will continue until the 25th.
In new bull ring which was es-
pecially constructed for the occasion,
Rodolfo Gaona and "Cocherito De Bill
bao" both bull fighters of fame, inaug-
urated the "Temporado' in Nuevo
Laredo today and received plaudits
from vast audience for their dex-
ferrous ability.
The two matadores alternated and
each dispatched three bulls.
The new ring has been christened
''Gaona" in honor of his visit. The
company of bull fighters was brought
here to give an exhibition especially
for the vast number of visitors to the
Washington celebration and the ova-
tons rendered both were unusually
hearty

EXTRA SESSION
Being PLANNED
SENATE WILL THROW OUT OBJ
sTAcLEs TO PRoLoNG THE
WORK AHEAD OF THEM.
Taft Will Not Be Permitted to Make
Progress With Reciprocity Bill
Over Opposition.

Washington, Feb. 22.--The cnatoic
conditions existing tonight in the
United States senate add materially
to the probability of an extra session
OF congress.
In fact indications began to multiply
today that the senate leaders, having
become convinced that an extra ses-
sion is unavoidable, have decided TO
throw into the session great deal
more than the Canadian reciprocity
agreement which really will be tle
cause for the converting of the new
congress.
This, it was charged by the advo-
Gates of reciprocity tonight, will be
done to becloud the issue as much as
possible and to delay the ratification
of the agreement by much the same
tactics that have characterized the
present session.
Under the guise of the fighting over
other matters, it is charged, consid-
eratlcn OF the reciprocity agreement
viii be continuaay postponed.
president Taft is said to be doing
all he can to bring the republican
leaders into line, but he is met with
opposition in both wings of the party
1.-The regulars and the insurgents.
The prediction vas freely maze
about the capitol today that a number
of the appropriation bills would fail Of
passage.
If this should prove to be the case,
il would mean the supply measures
pending In the senate or in conference
, would be thrown out in their entire
~ and the making of the new meas
ures would lie left in the hands of the
new democratic house.

HOUSE SHIFTS BURDEN.
If Extra Session is Necessary Will
Not be Responsible.

Washington, Feb. z2.-The house Of
representatives is rapidly clearing its
calendar so that no responsibility for
what now appears to be an inevitable
extra session can be charged to the
lower branch of congress.
Today three big appropriation bills.
carrying in the aggregate S1S5,000, 900,
were passed. OF these the naval act
carried $l25, 100000, the Notifications
bill $5,S00,0oO, and the diplomatic and
consular bill about $4.100,0OO.
The house now has only three more
supply bills to pasg-th sundry civil.
the general deficiency and the mill
tary academy. The latter probably
will not occupy more than a few
hours.
SO the chances are that the house
win be marking time when Marcl 4
arrives.

Suddenly Keith halted, bringing his

A dim darkness ahead already re.

bank, when Neb's pony went down
suddenly, swept fairly OF its legs by
some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith
heard the negroes cultural cry, and

Keith driving feet again into the STIR

close in toward the shore, leaning for

He had no doubt about Neb's pony

make such a Journey as this proved to
be. He knew there was little to fear

which traveller could only find pass
age by the guidance of stars at night
or the blazing sun by day.
They had covered ten miles of 1t by
