Chihuhua, Mex. March 1S.-Hun'
ger and rot bullets will win Torreon
fgr the rebels unless the government
troops assume the aggressive. On the
theory that it is better to sacrifice
time than life, those who are planning
the overthrow of President Madero
will attempt to gain possession OF
Torreon by means of a seige and on
that account it makes little difference
how many federal troops are sent into
the city They will assist in consum-
ing the available supply Of food.
= Railroads enter the city from the
south. east, west and north, but Tor
some weeks they have been out OF op-
Grafton as the result of bridge de-
struction and the people Of Torreon
had a foretaste of what is coming
in the way of scarcity of food stuffs.
the arrival of supplies from the
north probably has afforded some re-
lief. but the revolutionary leaders say
il will be a simple matter to cut and
keep cut every railroad entering the
city thus bringing garrison and popu-
lation to state where surrender Will
he the natural and preferable solu-
tion.
II is MANNED to mobolize the revo-
lutionary army from the north along
the lines near Bermejillo a few kilo-
meters north of Torreon, while simi-
lar forces, already operating IN that
district, will guard the approaches
from east, west and south. The road
from the south connecting with the
capial can be guarded best, they be-
lieve by force of men holding pic
ardias a short distance from Torreon
where there is a bridge Of more thah
ordinary length.
Counting on the bands of rebels op

In addition to this force tae populace
inside the city is expected to ieno
some assistance and the effect on pop
ular opinion throughout the republic
it is thought, will go far towards
bringing about the resignation of Ma
dero.
Should the garrison succeed in hold
ing out until some time in April, an
other phase of the situation, it is be-
lieved, may develop in the national
congress, which convenes on the sec
ond of the month. The revolutionary
officers believe it not unlikely that
by that time the people as whole
will be clamoring so strongly for the
end of the siege that congress will
Join in demand that the executive
relinquish his position.

salmon is strangely delicate. So it is
that weighing them is entirely out of
the question.
The government has for years hired
veteran fisherman to make the
rounds of the weirs on the little power

the man had to go by was his tudg-

fish, even in the semidarkness of the

It may weigh eight pounds or it may
weigh twenty pounds, but the fisher
men are to be paid for a twelve
pound fish and no more nor less. This
weight is below the average, as the

in his book what he guessed to be the
right weight. The bills were paid &C.

That Death loves a shining mark
has been again verified by the demise
OF the noted musical composer, Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor, in London :ast Sun
day. Mr.. Taylor was born in London
August Is, 1875, and was, therefore
just little more than 81 years old.
Perhaps no better eulogy could be
made than that of DR.. Booker T. Wash
ingtcn, who said of the deceased,
among other good things:
1T is given to but few men in SO
short a time to create for themselves
a position OF such prominence on two
continents as fell to the lot of Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor. He early gave evil
dence of creative powers of high or
der, and at the time Of his death
ranked as one of the most interesting
and remarkable of British conductors
and composers. His sympathetic set
ting in cantata Of portions of Longfel-
lows "Hiawatha" did much to make
him known in England and America.
Mr. Coleridge-Taylor has written
much, has achieved much. His work,
moreover, possesses not only charm
and power, but distinction, the indi-
vidual note"
