REBEL MOVE AGAINST
CHIHUAHUA CAUSES PANIC

III Paso, Feb. 2O.-Thc move of the
insurrcctos again at Chihuahua has
thrown several other Mexican cities
into panic. Should Chihuahua be
captured other cities would, Of course
be attacked. Gustavo A. Madero,
brother of the head of the Mexican
revolt, says in Washington that Gem
eral Orozco, commander of the rebel
troops, never had any intention of
taking Juare2.
"Orozco's real purpose" he said,
"was to draw away from the vicinity
Of the Chihuahua capital the entire
federal forces there. The only way to
do this was TO menace Juarez, TO
whose rescue he knew Navarro and
Rabago would come rather than let
the custom house fall into insurgent
hands. lie is now on his way south

Is generally expected, no seriously
disastrous shock will follow. Never
theless the uncertainty, that must
remain until the decisions are an
nounced will be an impediment to ac-
tivity in many minds, and an occa-
sion for apprehension to others. When
the results are known then we may
expect rebound as an expression
OF relief. Concerning the railroads, a
decision from the Interstate Commerce
Commission has long been expected.
something In the nature of a COM
promise is anticipated, since some OF
the western rates are known to have
been unreasonably high, and many
of the Eastern rates are admittedly
very low Upon the whole II Is evident
that the railroads are not now very
fearful as to the result of this de-
cislon; their confidence being shown
by their activity in financing and car
rying out projected improvements. 1t
Is known that some of the rail-
roads have not earned their dividends
In the last two or three months, biit
better things are expected OF the
future as traffic increases and un-
necessary expenses are curtailed.
The prompt passage of the Recipro-
city bill in the House at Washington
was encouraging. The concessions in
this measure upon either side are not
very great, but the movement is
step in the right direction. What
the action of the Senate will be ut is
impossible to determine at this writ
ing. Should that body by any means
fail to act, there is strong pro-
liability that President Taft Will
call an extra session. This, however,
the Senate does not desire. and for
political reasons, II is not considered
good tactics to precipitate in a gem
eral reopening of the tariff question
such as might easily happen In event
of special session.
