 MAGDALENA BAY
Senate to Insist That No Foreign Power Establish Naval Base
 Whnre or Else,ylArn

Washington, July 31.-The vigor of the terms the Senate shall lte in de- clarlng no foreign country shall es- tabllsh naval base at Magdalena bay nor at any other point on the Ameri- can continents will be the subject to- morrow by the Foreign Affairs Com mi'tee of the Senate
 Within day or two it is believed the Senate will be called upon to pass resolution stating in unequivocal terms that the Monroe doctrine or the settled policy of the United s ates re- quires that no foreign power be thus permitted to get military or naval foothold in the Western hemisphere.
 Senator Lodge as chairman of the subcommittee that investigated the rumors of the Japanese purchase oi 100000 acles of land on Magdalena bay, will ,makeia formal report tomor- row to the Foreign Affairs Committee, recommending that the United States reaffirm its policy in terms that can- not be misunderstood.
 The Senate investigation was begun as the result of a report that Q pri- vate Japanese fishing syndicate was attempting to control a vast tract about the Southern California bay, long regarded as the best naval base on the Pacific coas:.~ Correspondenct submitted to the Senate in April and May by President Taft and Secretary of State Knoy indicated the United States has no intimation that Japan, as gove. nment, was behind the at tempted purchase, or intended to make use of the land as base.
 It is understood the subcommittee headed by Senator Lodge has found no evidence of the connection of the Japanese government with the at tempted purchase.
 To make the position of the United States clear, however, the majority oi the committee ;Nill propose that Con- gross declare that this nation will not permit without a protest estab- lishment of any fo. eign power at a point where it could threaten or en- danger the safety of the United States. The subcommittee consists of Sen ators Lodge, Root, Sutherland, Ray ner and Hitchcock. Senator Root, it is understood, has not agreed fully to the broad resolution the committee desires to adopt.

AMERICANS IN
 MEXICO ALARMED
Threats of Massacre in Casas Grandes District Regarded as Bluff by
 Authorities.

Mexico c ty, July 31-The reported threats of massacre of Americans Tn the Casas Grandes district and the possible consequences created mild state of alfTm among foreign resi- dents of the capital today, and was a common topic of discussion in all quarters. Many who have only re- cently returned from the United States, where they filed during the panic last March, began to doubt the wisdom of having returned and an- peared to fear that another period of excitement might be in store for them.
 Mexican officials did not seem to feel any concern over the situation and professed to see little poss bill ;ty of difficulty arising with the United States over the affair. Tn fact. they were inclined to view the threat as bluff on the part of the rebels intended as last desperate effort to force reorganization of the r belligerency.
 The warning ta- Mexico, said to have been sent by the United States government has not yet been con- veyed through Ambassador Wilson However, within the last few days the ambassador has sent note to the Mexican Foreign Office protest ing against the situation in the Casaz Grandes district and has been assur- ed that within a few days Mexico will be able to afford ample protec- tion to foreigners there.
 Fighting between large band o1 rebels and government troops is said to be in progress between th's city and Toluca, 45 miles west of here It was said only tonight that fight ing varying from skirmlshing te pitched encounters had been goine on for three days.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Jobbers and Retailers Over the Country
Doing Good Business.

NEW YORK. Dec 2O.-R. G. Dun 6.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will say
tomorrow:
While the primary drygoods markets
are seasonably quiet the continued firm
retail trade IS better than at this time
a year ago. Transactions in cotton goods
have been smaller than for some weeks.
in the main owing to. the tight money
and the approach Of the year-end. The
general situation is, however, regarded
as encouraging and iobbers and retail
ers are doing a good business. Export
trade is quiet. though some inquiries
have been received from China The
fall overcoating season opened last week
and the staple dressed goods mills are
selling ahead into May. Moderate
sized recorders on silks for spring are
coming in regularly. =. Worsted and cot
ton yarns are in active request.
Business in footwear is generally dull
Trading In leather is quiet and while
some sales OF loblots cleaned out by tan
ners and dealers before inventory tax
ing have been made at concessions. there
is no weakness in the regular lines Of
upper or sole. Upper leather Is also
steady, though not as strong as sole.
There has been no check to the declin-
ing tenden of all kinds OF hides and
skins.
