FL Paso. Tex, Feb. 7.-out-general-

trance into Juarez Of Colonel Robago
and 800 federal troops from the south,
the Mexican reyolutionists, under
Pascual Orozco. are reported to have
retired to Salamayuca, twenty-five
miles south of Juarez-there to re-
/ plenish their supplies of ammunition
and to await reinforcements.
Alanis. with an insurrecto force OF
between 500. and 600 men, was re-
ported twenty-five miles east OF
Juarez Sunday night. He had a sharp
skirmish with a band Of 100 federals,
the federals retiring in front OF such
overwhelming odds.
In the meantime General Navarro s
command OF zoo men, which has been
campaigning around chihuahua city,
is reported making forced marches
overland to the relief of the beleag-
uered city Should Navarro su coed
in getting into Juarez with his forces
the insurgents will have their work
cut ont for them, for Navarro's men
are veterans, seasoned by hard cam
Oaigning.
Mexican officials are now confier
that the city, protected by Geo so.
diers. is now safe from assault and
\ that the campaign OF the young revo
lutionist leader will soon end in his
defeat and the scattering Of his fol
lowers.
All this. however, is promised on
the belief that General Navarro will
succ eed in reaching the Rio Grande
with his troops.
Had Orozco succeeded In holding
Robago's reinforcements off. nothing
could have saved Juarez from the
hands of the revolutionists. But with
his troops within the city, 0rozco and
Alanis now have before them 600 well
armed regulars. and Juarez, If IL falls
WILL 1t is believed, fall only after
bloody fighting.

their product by the Payne-Aldric1

that is contemplated in the proposed
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
Both Republican and Democratic
members of the committee piled the

a decrease in the duty was feared
when the reduction eighteen months
ago had been followed by an increase
in the price OF paper rather than by
decrease.
The general reply was that the in

London. Feb. For the first time
in his reign King George formally

The kings speech was brief and
colorless. II opened with a flial rel
erence to the death of King Edward
The only reference to foreign afairs
were a mention Of the fact that nego-
tiations had been opened with Japan
for new commercial treaty, and an
allusion to the friction In Persia oye-

submitted without delay for settling
the relations between the two houses
of parliament with the object Of Sc
curing an effective working constltu-
ton"
Legislation would also be had, his
rSiesty said. to provide insurance
against sickness and unemployment.
In making the declaration of faith
King George used for the first time
the amended form adopted at the last
session of parliament, and which
amots the traditional reference to the
Catholic church which was offensive
to the adherents Of that faith.
From the paucity Of the legislative
proposals 1t is evident that the gov
eminent has determined to allow moth
ing beyond necessary financial meas
ures to interfere with action on the
veto bill.
The suffragettes are already threat
ening a renewal OF their activities
because they were not mentioned in
the speech, and the Laborites are
much put out for the reason that II
contained no promise Of a bill dealing
with the hated Osborne Judgment.
Though the day was dark and chilly
an immense throng was gathered IN
ST. James park and in Whitehall
where the gorgeous procession passed
while other thousands surrounded the
parliamentary buildings.
Their majesties rode in the gilded
state coach drawn by eight cream
colored horses caparisoned in gold
and purple. The king wore field
marshal's uniform.
AS the royal party passed the cheer
ing was unusually hearty, as 1t was
the first opportunity the populace has
had to express its qualification over
the vindication Of King George in the
recent libel suit against Edward My
Illus.
An escort Of life guards preceded
the state coach. and yeomen OF tho
guard followed. Five state carriages
each drawn by six horses. were occu'
pied by officials OF the court and gen
