federal LOSS HEAVY.
One Fight in Mexico Has Lasted Near
ly a Week.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 26.-The Herald
correspondent at Shafter, Presidio
county close to Ojinaga, Mexico. writes
going on south OF there having been
in progress for nearly a week. He de-
clares that the federal loss has been
heavy.
The correspondent declares that Pc
dro Gonzales, head of the rurales who
was wounded by the rebels, has join
ed them and is being treated now in
Indio, Presidio county, Texas, and will
soon appear as q leader against the
government.
He says $50 cavalryfnen are sur
rounded in the mountains south of
Ojinaga by rebels.
The federal officials are them
selves doing more to promote revolu-
tion than anybody else by their acts
against natives, according to this cor
respondent. He says federal soldiers
recently wrecked the home and ranch
of Antilana Vanegas, widow, even
throwing her religious images into
hog pen. because they suspected one
of her sons, absent from home, was
a revoiutionist. She complained to
Amarillas, jefe of the district and got
no satisfaction. This jefe, the cores
pondent says imprisoned Martin
Juarez merely because Juarez has two
sons in the revolutionary ranks. and
shot the mans horse out of revenge.
Amarillas has boasted that when the
revolution ends he will execute every
rebel in the region and burn their
Catholic churches.

No Verdict Has Yet Been Reached in
Schenk Case.

Wheeling, Jan. 26.-The jury which

cence of Mrs. Laura F'ransworth
Schenk for the attempt to poison her
husband, John o. Schenk, entered the
court room this morning and almost
Immediately proceeded to the jury
room where they will again go over
the case.
Judge Jordan was on the bench and
one of the jurors inquired if he might
ask a question in open court concern
ing some of the evidence. He was told
to put it in writing and the court
would consider it.
Mrs Schenk closely scanned the
faces of the jurymen as they fled out
of the court room. She looked much
better than when court closed last
night for at that time she collapsed,
and was quite ill after reaching her
cell.
Soon after the jury retired it an
nounced its desire to communicate
to the box. The foreman presented a
number of questions in writing. They
had to deal with the evidence of Flor
ence Coleman, a negro domestic who
had been employed by the John o.
Schenk family and who had testified
regarding certain poisons in the house
on given days. AS the court stenog-
rapher was i'll today it was necessary
to find another stenographer, who inn
mediately began going through the
notes in search of the evidence want

BRIBE OF 100000.
Business Manager of Paper Tells of
Effort to Buy Its Support.

Washington, Jan. 25-That pro-
ship subsidy interests have offered to
pay the New York Journal of COM
merce 100000 for. printing an article
in favor of subsidy legislation was
testified to before the house comm ittee
on ship subsidy by Alfred w. Dods-
worth. business manager of that pub
hcation- The offer like a second one
OF S4O,0O0 from another source was
refused.
The witness said his paper never
had been subsidized by any interests
whatever and its business and editor
ial columns had no relation. But, he
testified, about six years ago. a person
came into his office and offered to pay
the Journal of Commerce 500. 900
taking one million copies of his paner
for the insertion of an article In one
issue, supporting the ship subsidy leg
islation.
This man refused to disclose his
identity unless his proposition was to
be accepted. His proposition was in
the event of acceptance, to make out a
certified check inam etliate1y for S1O,-
600 to bind the agreement and to nav
the balance of $1,000 upon publica-
ton of the article. Mr.. Dodsworth
said he Immediately called his brother.
John W., into his office as a witness
to the conversation and the PROPOSE
tion was declined.
That, however, was only one such
event. Another man, about two wears
ago, Dodsworth said, tried to buy the
support of the paper for $4,000 and
in the Spanish-American war the
Spanish government tried to buy the
papers influence.
Chairman O1cott, Representative
Longworth (O.) and other members
of the committee sharply criticized the
two brothers for failing to submit this
information to the committee before.
pointing out that John w. Dodsworth
in his testimony sometime ago had
been asked categoricaliy as to such
matters and had denied any informa-
ton such as that disclosed. The wit
ness said the committee would have
to ask the brother why he failed to
disclose the information

Most of the laws, it is declared, pro-
vide that gross negligence on the part
of the employee bars his right to any
compensation, while negligence on the
part of the employer gives rise to a
right for increased compensation.
Special tribunals are provided in some
countries to hear contests and court
procedure is fixed by law in all.
Manufacturing, mining and quarry
ing, transportation, building and engi
neering work, and in some countries.
agriculture, forestry and irrigation are
the industries usually covered by the
acts. In all but six countries the bur-
den rests wholly upon the employer.
In these six, Austria, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Luxemburg and New South
Wales, the employees bearNpart of the
expense.
In every case, the bulletin continues,
the laws fix the compensation to be
paid and with but one or two import
ant exceptions, the compensation is
based upon the wages received by the
injured person.
