REBELS MAKE A
 FIERCE ATTACK

Tecate, Lower Cal, March 24-An at tack that commenced shortly before 8 o'clock tonight from three sides on the Mexican federal position on Tecate hill, by what Is reported to be force of 15O rebels, continued for one hour and ceased as suddenly as it began. There were no casualties on the federal side. The fed eral position is on small rocky hill north Of Tecate and the line of the de- fense is within 100 yards of the Amer ican border. Shooting from the right, left and center began in desultory man. ner and increased in rapidity.
 The rebels were very close to the fed eral position as bullets passed over a store about 300 yards north of the line. Wire communication was interrupted for half an hour and was restored as mys- teriously as interrupted.
 The federal soldiers are holding their position on the hill and 1t is impossible to tell whether the rebels have retreated or are waiting for daylight to resume their attack.
 The federals have had nothing to eat for more than 24 hours and are unable to get supplies from the American side. It is believed the federals must either sur render or pass into American lines to- morrow if the rebels persist in their at- tack

FOUR KILLED IN
 WAUKEE FIRE

Milwaukee, March 24-Four firemen were killed, fifth is said to be dying and about a dozen others were injured when the roof of the Middleton Manu- featuring company hat factory caved in during fire which ruined the five-story structure today.
 The dead:
 Captain Jacob Hentz, engine company No. 28.
 Richard J. Burke, engine driver.
 Lieutenant John Houlahan. engine com- pany No. g.
 Fred l.. Eichborn, pipeman.
 Fatally injured, Louis E. Hammond, driver of truck No. 5, said to be dying at the emergency hospital from a frac- tured skull
 Ten minute before the roof caved in Assistant Chief Young says he ordered the firemen from the roof. Later they were ordered back and upon receiving the second order to vacate their perilous position they failed 70 respond quickly enough and went down in the crash.
 one of the most pathetic incidents of the fire was when Captain Ben Hentz, who carried out the body of dead fire man was informed that 1t was his broth CT.
 The property loss is estimated at $1OO.- 900, covered by insurance.

Jumbled Situation Is
 Result Of Nights Work
House and Senate Conferees Favor Cbng Back Tax Co sioners and Are Also Said To Favor Insurance Clause
 Extra Session May Become Inevitable
BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, March 24-(Special)-Vic- torious in one of the bitterest fights that has yet been waged in the house of rep resentatives in that the splendid efforts of friends of Governor ONeal brought about defeat of the measure which yir- tually sought to abolish the office of county back tax commissioner, the ad- ministration forces tonight found them selves "stumped'' when the general rev enue bill, which was today passed in the state senate. was sent to the lower branch for concurrence. The revenue bill, containing as it does a feature almost identical with the back tax commission bill which was defeated in the house, was of course not concurred in by that body but referred to conference committee which friends of the administration to- night allege had been "stacked.''
 As soon as the house failed to reach agreement on the two most salient fea- lures in the revenue measure, that of the insurance on property as basis of taxation and the one which denies to county back tax commissioners fees on

Means Political Reform

Fl Paso, Tex, March 24.-Widespread political reforms in Mexico With apoii- tion of direct federal control of the Jefe Politicos and popular election oi governors of states, are seen by the revolutionary junta here in the an nouncement of the resignation or the cabinet
 Whether the cabinets retirement would have the effect of allaying the insurrection, the revolutionary lead CTS would not say. They preferred they said, to await immediate develop rnents expected at the Mexican capi- tai.
 As soon as the resignation of the cabinet became known couriers bear ing messages from Gonzales Garza, the revolutionary secretary of states, were sent on their way to Francisco I. Ma dero, the insurrecto president. It was intimated that Madero probably would not take notice of the cabinets resig- nation to the extent of ceasing hostil- ities but would proceed with his plan of fighting the federal troops. Madero 1t was said, was not in a position to treat for peace unless formal offers were sent from Mexico City.
 Madero is fighting for the overthrow of Diaz and not merely for the over- throw of his cabinet, it was stated al the junta.
 More than that of any other, the re- tirement of Minister Creel would be agreeable to the insurrectos. The retirement of the cabinet was not entirely unexpected by the revolu- tionary leaders, it having been theil ferences with the insurrecto agency ir New York and his subsequent trip te Mexico City were the preliminaries to important developments.

Anecdotes of men, things and events,
 past and present. by MT. F. J. Edwards are exceedingly entertaining and valu- able contributions to the newspapers that accept them. Some days ago MT.
 Edwards discussed Ben Harrison, the
 twenty-third President. and spoke of
 the popular estimate of him as "a
 cold man." There are not many more effectual ways of nippipg the career
 of public man than by giving him | reputation for ''coldness." to adopt this
 cant of demagogy. I have found your
 demonstrative and eager "handshaker"
 the superlatively selfish chap and there
 are just enough exceptions to establish the rule.
 MT. Edwards adduces the testimony of Grover Cleveland. who found the man who succeeded him and whom he
 succeeded in the White House generous.
 considerate. and warm hearted; but
 cordial as was Ben Harrison's heart his
 manner was reserved. The most intel lectual man Indiana ever produced, one of the greatest lawyers our country has produced. when Harrison went
 among the people he seemed to be seized with an inveterate difidence that made him seem indifferent, se- we're, naughty. cold. That Is what de- feated him for governor In 1876. Dan Voorhees, was just the opposite. There was nothing self-conscious about him and he felt and meant all the cordial ity he showed. That is what made him the idol of the plain folk of his state, whereas his rival was known as Kid glove Ben"
 Proctor Knott when he had life lease on his seat in Congress was an other "cold" man. After serving two terms he was defeated for renomina- tion by the fraction of a vote in con- vention, and all because of his lack
 of the gushing cordialitX of the self
 seeking demagogue. Later the people
 again drafted him into service. and he was several terms in the national House of Representatives and could have been there till this day had he not voluntarily retired. Had he been q |handshaker. had he possessed the breezy cordiality of Joe Blackburn. there IS

FEDERAL ARMY IS
 APPROACHING CITY

Mexicali Mex, March A.-That the federal army is advancing along the San Felipe wagon road east of the Coco pai mountains and Is not more than 9 three days march away from here Is the statement of Jose Garcia, a Mexican, brought in by rebel scouts today.
 The men of the garrison today dis cussed a report from the American side that if the insurrection was not ended in 30 days the United States would pur- chase Lower California and restore or der. It IS not known how this report gained circulation.
 Rations are now so short in William stanley's command that additional con fiscation has taken place. Complaints of the conhscations from Americans have been sent te Washington

CUMMINS ATTACKS
 RECIPROCITY BILL

Des Moines, Ia., March 24.-Senator A. B. Cummins, in an address tonight to 400 members of the Grant club. assailed the Canadian reciprocity agreement and insisted that the agreement should be amended in important particulars before 1t is ratified by this country.
 Senator Cummins said the Canadian agreement proposes to put on the free list certain products of'the farmers and he intended to propose amendments which would put on the free list so far as imports from Canada to America are concerned a number of manufacturers, such as cotton and woolen clothing, meats, flour, sawed boards and blanks, manufactured iron and steel, agricultural implements, etc.
 Senator Cummins insisted that the amendments he proposed in enlarging the free list would be properly offered for the reason that Canada cannot and will not object to them and their adoption will not bring within the operation other countries under 'the favored nation' clause. whereas it not offered as amend ments they might do so.
