FEDERALS we're
BADLY TROUNCED

Ell Paso, Tex. March S1.--Advices
to The Herold from Magdalena. So
nora, by mail declare that Mondays
battle reported from Agusa Prieta as
a victory for the federals was really
a victory for the rebels. Regardless
Of an official dispatch from General
Torres that the rebels had been an
initiated, The Herold's correspondent
at Magdalena says the dispatch only
caused derision there where the facts
are known.
He states that the rebels ambushed
the federals at San RAdael instead OF
the rebels being ambushed, or taken
unawares as the official reported and
that the federals were driven to take
refuge in q mill at Santa Raosa,
where the rebels surrounded them.
Then reinforcements came out from
HermosiIlo and battle was raging
on Wednesday when the letter was
written.
Army Will Have Say.
Gonzales Cara, the insurrecto Sec
rotary Of state. says the army in the
field will have the final vote on any
peace negotiations and tt-t he does
not believe they will vote TO accept
any terms that do not include the
resignation OF President Diaz.

DARK HORSE
MAY WIN OUT

Albany, N. W March 31.--su-
prerae Court Justice james A.
opGorman Of New York probably
will be the next senator from New
York, II the insurgent democrats
In the legislature will accept him.
Justice O'Gornfan was announced
as the organization candidate this
morning on the unexpected arrival
from New York of Charles =. MUIR
ply, leader of Tammany hall. The
Insurgents resented the sudden in
Junction Of candidate whose name
had not appeared on any of the
%eligible" lists they had submitted
TO the regulars, but not so strong
as to cause the withdrawal of
O'Gorman'e eandidaey. On the
ground that they were not sufi-
ciently familiar with O'Gorman's
record to act intelIisently the in
sursents brought about . postpone
rnent of the final caucus vote until
8 o'clock this afternoon.
Albany, NJ, Y, March 31.-Chas. r
Murphy arrived here this morning tC
take personal charge of the organiza-
ton forces in what may prove the
crucial caucus of the long fight tc
elect United States senator. Fore
most among the reasons why the
democrats were anxious to break the
deadlock today is the proximity Of
April 4. and the assembling Of the
special session Of congress.
The Legislators fear popular criticism
will follow their failure to send a new
senator to the national capital in time
to give New York its full representa-
ton.

JUST THINK OF THIS OFFER
A -Four Hundred Dollar Upton Piano
Absolutely. Given Away.

That advertising is now a science
is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this. section by
the wonderful advertising system now
employed by the enterprising Uglow
Clothing House, which is going to
give away absolutely free to some one
of its customers the beautiful Upton
Parlor Grand Piano which is now on
exhibition at the store. The Upton
sells for Four Hundred Dollars and is
high-class instrument in every re-
spect, guaranteed by the makers for
ten years. Just think of it! A Four
Hundred Dollar Piano to be given
away! A few years ago if a merchant
had done such a thing he would have
been considered fit subject for an
asylum, but conditions have changed.
Yet in the face of the enormous sum
spent in advertising, the fact of Mr..
Uglow giving away $400 piano is a
stupendous undertaking and it clearly
demonstrates his desire to be always
up to and a little ahead" of the spirit
of the times.
Every purchaser of $1.0O worth of
goods in any department of the store
will receive a coupon good for 100
votes on the piano. The person pre-
senting the largest number of votes
will receive the piano absolutely free.
No favors will be show and every
person will receive an equal chance.
The reputation enjoyed by the firm
for square dealing" insures this fact.
We think the buying people will ap-
preciate this extremely liberal offer
on the part of Mr.. Uglow, and we pre-
dict a lively scramble for votes.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, May 5.--Receipts for
the first week of May have been as
follows: Cattle, 1903; calves AS;
hogs 1850; sheep 511O; horses and
mules 81.
The cattle market reached the
highest mark of the season this week,
when hay-fed steers sold for &c, with
insufficient offerings to supply the de-
mand. Owners are advised to ship
before the run of Southern grass cat
tie starts this way, as the market
will continue steady to higher until
that time. Thinner steers, not well
finished, sold all the way from $3.50
to $6.S5, with the Sound buyers much
in evidence. Offerings in butcher
stock were very light and everything
in sight was snapped up with avidity.
Receipts of hogs from local points
were heavier than they have been for
some time, but the market rallied and
held up surprisingly well. considering
the fact that a large shipment of
Eastern hogs were on the market as
we'll While it would take an extra
choice load of hogs to bring the for
mer top of $7.25, ordinary light
grades readily bring $40, only 15c
under, which considering the heavy
hammering of the week. is very
slight decrease, indeed. There is a
more decided slump in heavier grades,
best qualities selling from $500 to
$3.50.
The sheep market remained firm to
higher, with stock fairly well repre-
sented. California ewes brought $4.75,
yearlings $3.50; &c continues the top
for best spring lambs, while wethers
range from IS to $5.40, with strong
demand.
The following sales were represent
ative: Steers, 1915 to 81; cows, $3.50
to Sc; bulls, $3.50 to $685.; lambs,
81; wethers, $5.25 to $5.40; ewes,
$4.75; hogs, $3.50 to $725 horses
drafters, $3.50 to $3.50 each; drivers,
$162 each; chunks, $172 each
