 CITY OF MEXICO
Railway Strike Cuts Off Supply of
 Pulque.

Mexico City. July 29.-Because of the general strike declared on the Mexican railway. this capitals supply of pulque was greatly reduced today.

 The strike was precipitated by the shopmen at Orizaba and ApizacO. with whom the management had agreed upon a new scale of wages that pro vided for an increase of s per cent. one thing the men demanded was an in crease of 25 per cent. They were join ed by the conductors. firemen and brakemen. The management has held in line barely enough crews to operate the passenger trains, most of the men being Americans and Englishmen.

PROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE
Objectionable to Leaders Who Don't Care to Record Themselves as Against the Doctrine of Tariff for Re venue Only.

Washington. July 29-The democrat icleaders of the house adopted anything but conciliatory tone on the wool tariff situation today.
 Chairman Underwood and Represen- tative Harrison of the ways anl means committee and other prominent Demo- crats expressed themselves tonight in unfriendly terms toward a compromise witR the senate that means an increase in the rates of the original Underwood bill
 In the meantime, President Taft is accredited by those who talked with him today as being determined to veto the bill when it reached him.
 The situation in the house is the key to the entire tariff tangle in congress. Upon the action of the house early next week rests the possibility, for further tariff legislation this session.
 Speaker Clark expressed confidence today that a wool bill will be agreed on in conference and be signed by the president Other house leaders, how eyer, adopted a more pessimistic view of the presidents attitude and expect the president to veto any wool bill fram ed by the present democratic insurgent republican coalition in the senate.
 Apparently it is the desire nf chair man Underwood and certain house leaders to take no chances of being placed on record as indorsing a party protective tariff bill. They. believe the president will veto any bill and they do not want to be on record in favor of any measure except a straight revenue bill such as the Underwood bill is claimed to be.
 Back of this sentiment is the de- mand. also of another faction Gs which Representative Harrison of New York is the leader, that the raw wool duty shall not be increased above 20 per cent
 There was on change in the situa- ton in the senate today, the coalition maintaining it's strength and the par ties to that combination expressing confidence in their ability to put through revision legislation.

TELLS HOUSE COMMITTEE
In the Nick of Time, the>Ab- sorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company Saved the Country from Financial Disaster.

New York, July 29.-Lewis Cass -Ledyard, who was the attorney for Oliver Payne of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company syndicate in 1907 when the merger of that corporation with the United States Steel corp1r- ation was effected, told today to the committee of the house of reprcsen- tatives which is inquiring into the affairs of the Steel trust that he was the man who first suggested the transaction to J. Pierpont Nor gan.
 Mir. Ledyard said Payne was the first to suggest that the United States Steel corporation take over the Tennessee company in order to avert the failure of the brokerage firm loaned the brokerage firm money Payne asked him to see Morgan and acquaint him with the grievous situ- .ation resulting from Moore &, Schley's loans on Tennessee stock as collateral and urge him to seek relief from the steel corporation.
 MT. Ledyard incidentally surprised the members of the house committee when in enumerating the loans of Moore x Schley, stated that Morgan's firm loaned the brogerage firm money on Tennessee collateral, a loan how ever, that that firm did not call.
 Intimations Of a conspiracy on the part of the Morgan firm or the steel corporation to discredit the Tennessee Coaf and Iron stock so the steel lcorporation could take it over easily was denounced by Ledyard as an Outrageous falsehood" and he ve- hemently asserted the part of the United States Steel corporation. Ledyard said the transaction, in his opinion. was not illegal and he lauded the act of Judge ElbertH. Gary and Henry C. Prick in going before President Roosevelt and acquainting him with the facts regarding the mer- ger before it was effected.

 ABOUT THE COUNTRY

 pie to Blow Up the Post.

Prescott, Ariz., July 29.-(Special) Officers at Fort Whipple made the startling discovery today that one of the privates of Company A had brought enough dynamite with him in his trunk from Fort Sam. Houston, san Antonio, to blow the post from the earth.

 When interviewed. the officers ad- mitted finding the explosive and said that Bouda gave as his reason for having it in his possession that "he had been treated mean in San An tonic and had been put in the guard house, and had obtained the explo- sive with the intention of blowing up the jail when he got an oppor- tunity."

OUTER PRECINCTS ALSO
Result Due in Part to a Sen timent Against Agitation at the Time-The Cam paign was Closed with Bitterness.

Prescott, Ariz., July 29.-(SpeciaD The people of Yavapai County today showed unmitigated disapproval of pro hibition by appearing at the polls in unexpectedly large numbers and over whelmingly voting for licensed saloons. The total vote cast in the two incor- 9Orated cities (Prescott and Jerome) showed that these cities favored high license by three and three -tenths to one vote.
 Out of forty eight precincts all the important ones have been heard from and show that the outlying districts have gone wet by two to one vote. making the county total, two and half to one in favor of the ''wets"
 Last night the prohibitionists held a mass meeting in the city plaza when the lights went out and they started in bitterly to denOunce the saloon element at the same time the saloon men were holding a meeting in Elks Hall which suddenly became dark The saloon men tried to hold a meeting by the light of candles but gave up in disgust and adjourned to a nearby street corner and proceeded to offer large rewards for the miscreants who broke up their meeting.
 Today the power company started an investigation and offered a large re- ward which the saloon men immedi- ately increased by s1OO which they will pay making over $500
 Excellent conditions prevailed every where and absolutely no trouble of any sort was reported. Last night the sa- loon men closed all the saloons of their own accord and at six o'clock the town was quiet all the day. They opened again tonight and the town wears con- tented look as the business men are all against any agitation at this time
 The vote was the largest ever boiled in the cities. The antis lost many votes by their bitter attacks on business men. the entire press of the county and the liquor men. Some went so far as to placard buildings and offices, with of fensive signs which the owners ord cred removed at once, threatening to institute proceedings Prominent antis immediately politically disclaimed all knowledge of the posters. Districts not heard from are all small and far from the telegraph lines and they will not have any effect on the ultimate result Yavapai will probably remain wet a long time as the sentiment here is in favor of no more agitation since the expense of elections is great and the revenues from the mines are cut off by reason of shutting down owing to the low price of copper

PENSIONS PROPOSED

MIR. SHERWOOD DRAGs BILL INTO
 COTTON DEBATE.
Protest Against Pensions for Spring
 PulIets.

Washington, July 29.-An unquali- fled defense of his dollar-a day pen sion bill was made in the house to- day by Representative Sherwood of Ohio as the closing speech of day set aside for general debate on the cotton tariff Instead of a pension bill based on age, such as was en- acted by the republicans in 1907.i or as was proposed by the Halloway- Anderson bill, the Ohio representa- tive said that the only equitable bill from the point of view of the men who really saved the Union was a measure based on service and sacri- flee
 General Sherwood filed a protest against the pensioning of spring bullets" whom he explained were girls who marry old soldiers on their last legs"
 At the same time he said that the present house could pass a pension bill which would pension the widows of soldiers without working a fraud on the government by pensioning those who married just to get a pen sion.
 Representative Hull of Tennessee discussed tariff revision, and scored the tariff board as a political hypoc- risy designed to delay tariff revision. He said former President Roosevelt stayed the tariff storm by throwing firebrands into the air so the people would not notice those falling on their heads"
 He also said that with republican promises for the restoration of the protection rates. there will be the greatest fat frying next year in the history of the country"
