Carnival Being Well Advertised.

That the S. W. Brundage Carnival
attractions, the people who furnish the
amusements here next week. under
the auspices of the Civic Club, have
one good feature, is plainly evident
to newspaper man, that feature be-
ing their system of advertising in the
local papers, more space being con-
tracted by them than any other SINH
lar company, or circus to visit us in
the past.
One of the contracting agents advis-
ed us that newspaper advertising has
always been a prominent feature with
the company, and to the press they
contribute a great portion of their
success. The carnival will open next
Monday night and continue through
out the week, giving exhibitions after
noon and evening, weather being fav-
orable.

IN FREE LIST BILL
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., april 25.-Tariff
again holds the attention of congress.
It made its appearance today in the
shape of the free list bill, called up
just before adjournment yesterday,
and which threatens to lead an almost
endless debate before finally passed
along to the senate.
The free list bill will hold the cen
ter of the legislative stage. Chairman
Underwood, of the ways and means
committee, in explaining the proposed
measure acknowledged that it would
mean a reduction in government rev.
enues of ten million year, but de-
clared this would be more than met
by the government in economies.

El Paso, Tex, April 21.-When day
broke this morning, the army of Diaz
marked time in Juarez. Just outside
waited Maderos army Madero yes
terday promised the peace negotiators
that he would wait twenty-four hours
longer for Diaz to resign, postponing
the attack on Juarez until late this
afternoon. Extra United States troops
were encamped along the border in El
Pasos this morning.
If the Mexican government would
avoid international complications, ii
must order General Navarro to evacu-
ate Juarez, Immediately. This is the
ultimatum sent by General Madero to
DR.. Gomez, at Washington, to be COM
municated to the Mexican government.
Madero is desirous or establishing
headquarters from which to conduct
formal negotiations with the Mexican
government. The Mexican govern
ments reply is expected from Gomez
at washington. 1t is probable the at
tack on Juarez will be postponed until
it arrives.
Washington, D. c., April 2i.-AA
modification of the Mexican reply to
President Taft's protest against the
border disturbance was reported to
the state department today by Ambas-
sador Wilson, at Mexico City. The
changes are believed due to the more
correct advices to the Mexican gov
ernment, from Aqua Prieta. The full
text of the reply is not expected here
before next Tuesday.
FL Paso. Tex, April 21-Unless the
federals make an attack on the rebel
army Francisco l. Madero says there
will be no assault of Juarez until after
g o'clock this afternoon. If by that
time he has not received assurances
from Proferio Diaz that he will retire
from the presidency, Madero declares
that the Juarez fight will take place at
once. "All the federals want is time
to bring up more reinforcements,' he
said yesterday when asked if he would
consider an armistice."
Il will give Diaz twenty-four hours
to resign" he said yesterday afternoon
when delegation of Ell Pasoans and
and Mexican citizens called upon him
in his camp in the hills near Juarez and
asked him to consider peace terms.
The latter assertion was not only a
reply to the volunteer peace commits
sion but also to Gonzales Garcia, Sec
retary of the revolutionary junta
who carried a message from DR.. Co
mez in Washington, asking for delay
in the attack. He said it was his final
reply to all attempts to secure peace.

Washington, D. c., April 21.-The
demand of the twelve insurgent re-
publican senators for recognition as a
body in the organization of the senate
committees is causing trouble to the
regular republicans and delaying the
formation of the committees. Chair
man Gallinger of the committee on
committees requested all republican
senators to specify their committee
preferences. AL. except the insurgents
made prompt response, and some of
these have not yet responded.
The insurgents are holding out for
their right as an organization to name
one-fourth of the republican member
ship Of the various committees under
an informal agreement reached before
the organization was undertaken.
Some of the regular senators argue
that recognition of this contention
would violate all rules of seniority in
many of the committee assignments
and give faction an advantage which
could not be granted in fairness to
other republican senators.
The regulars say they are willing
to give the insurgents the number of
places to which they are entitled,
amounting to about one-fourth of all
the republican places.
The insurgents are determined, are
in constant conference, and it is said
that they soon will be ready to pre-
sent their preferences to the commit
tee.
1t is expected that the organization
of the committees will not be complet-
ed for a week or more.
