THREATS ARE UTILIZED
SENATOR SIMMONS SAYS OTHER
BILLS WOULD BE DE-
LAYED
DISCUSSION TO Be BRIEF
THE UNTERRlFlED AGREE TO
VOTE ON MEASURE WITH
LITTLE DEBATE

Washington, July 17.-Democ-atic
forces in the senate today practically
won their demands for consideration
of the remaining tariff bills and the
excise tax bill. This was the result
OF conferences on the floor at the
opening Of a democratic filibuster.
Senator Simmons. in charge Of the
tariff bills, told the republican lead
ers the democrats would resort to eV.
cry device to delay business unless
assured there could be vote on the
tariff measures.
Senator Root Immediately called
other republican leaders to confer
ence. So far as they could the repub-
lican senators present agreed to ac
cede to the democrats demands with
the understanding that the democrats
abandon their filibuster and agree to
allow the tariff bills to go to ballot
after a comparatively brief discussion.
Formal agreement among the repub-
licans, however, was not Immediately
reached. owing to the desire Of some
Of the vrincipals to offer amendments
to the wool bill The democratic
leaders declined to stop their filibus-
ter against the sundry civil Bill until
actual agreement was made. They
then forced the senate to take up
the Panama canal measure. Senator
Simmons announced he would en-
deavor again tomorrow to call up the
wool bill.

Rebels March Into sonora.

MADEIRA, Chihuahua, Mex, July 17.--
Having looted the MADEIRA Lumber
company's store houses of $4,000
worth of goods and robbed scores OF
foreigners Of horses and saddles, the
rebel command of General Antonio
Rojas, company comprising 1000,
started westward today through the
state of Sonora for Guayamas and
Pacific coast points The troops head
ed for Dolores where a mountain pass
leads into the state Of Sonora. Their
entrance will not be unopposed as 1O,-
600 Maderista volunteers are reported
to be awaiting the rebels invasion.
Friction with Americans and foreign
ers here has been at the bursting
point for several days. Horses and
supplies were commandeered by she
rebels but ordered returned by Gen
raj Roias, only to nave rebel soldiers
sneak into the stables and ride away
with them, against the order of their
cbieftain.
The soldiers protested Lat they
needed mounts and 800 of them win
have to travel afoot unless horses
can be procured on the way, General
Emilio Campo, who was imprisoned
nv General Rojas, was released today
and started westward with 800 follow
ers. The reason Of the arrest is as
vet unexplained as is the mysterious
order for the destruction of the rail-
road. It developed that General Ro-
las refused to obey General Orozco's
order to tear up the Mexican North
western from MADEIRA northward and
Jailed Campo who had been sent to
do the work. When Orozco rescinded
the order, Campo was released. In
dications are that Roias has started
on an expedition of loot independent
Of Orozco.
Federal troops have advanced to
San Antonio, on the Mexican North
western 81 miles northwest of Chi
huahua City and 11S miles south Of
MADEIRA. The country south Of Made
"a is being destroyed and many
Americans wwho were travelling to
chihuahua from Juarez are marooned
here.

condition, friends of the party came

"BeLoved Monarch"
Is Egan's Tribute

WASHINGTON. May IA below
ed monarch, an ideal constitutional
sovereign, ruler who respected
every right of his people, and who
WAS probably the most approachable
OF all the kings Of modern times"
This was the eulogy paid TO the
late King Frederick today by DR..
Maurice Francis Egan, American
Minister to Copenhagen, now on
leave in this country
when King Frederick ascended
the throne in 1906, he faced a serious
problem" said DR.. Egan. He had
been Crown Prince for a long time.
and this position was a most difficult
one for an active man. II is posi-.
ton Of self-effacement and obedience.
The Danes always .adored his father.
and at first refused TO see any virtue
In the son, but gradually the sym
pathetic and genial qualities of Fred.
erick gained their affection.
He was an ideal constitutional
monarch; one who respected scrupu.
lously all the rights OF his people. No
king could have been more approach
able-and, again, none more careful to
preserve his dignity. In ordinary life
his manners were entirely simple and
transformations.
Every man with a petition-wheth.
or he was a bureaucrat or a wooden
shod peasant-felt at liberty to pre-
sent himself before the king on Mon.
day--on which day the king received
the people. There was no wrong TO
be rfghted which the king did not
courageously undertake.
The king often walked about the
streets of the city alone; gazing into
shop windows and making small pur.
chases for his nieces or nephews.
He was particularly interested In
Americans-not only Danish Ameri
cans, whose careers In this country
he followed with interest and with
wonderful memory, but also any
Americans who visited Copenhagen
He was a close friend of Jacob Riis
himself a Dane. The last book dis.
cussed with him was an American
essay on constitutional law, and In
this conversation he displayed a
tremendous knowledge OF American
conditions. But II was when. the
American feet came to Copenhagen
last summer that he showed his great
consideration for our country. When
the feet was at the city, he was i'm
mensely fattered when several sailors
on our vessels wrote him letters of
thanks for the treatment he accorded
them. He answered all these and ex-
pressed wish to send every one a
medal. But Admiral Badger refused
TO allow It.
The Crown Prince who succeeds
him is a fine young man, very tall and
we'll developed, an excellent tennis
player and horseman and one of the
most popular members of the royal
family"
DR.. Egan was deeply grieved to
learn of the kings death and has can
celled all his social engagements
here.

Your royal highness," replied q
breathless courtier, who had ridden
madly to meet him, THE king Il

Long live the king" he added re
spectfully as the shock showed plainly
in the face OF the new monarch.
This was the manner in which King
Christian was notified that the throne
had descended to him. II was his first
intimation that his father was dead
Christian nearly collapsed and, after
rushing to the palace, was overcome
with grief.
The city was gaily decorated, FOL
yesterday was gala day. All the
flags and bunting were dropped, and
signs of mourning are rapidly replac
ing them. An extraordinary meeting
of the council OF ministers was called
and orders were issued for an extra
ordinary session of parliament.
The new king of Denmark is 4:
years old. In 1892 he married Princess
Alexandrine Of Mecklenberg. He is
brother-in-law Of the Crown Prince o.
Germany.
King Frederick had reigned since
January, 1906, when he succeeded his
father, Christian. King Fredericl
was 50 years old. He was the brother
of Dowager Queen Alexandra, Of Eng
land, the Dowager Empress OF Russia
and King George, of the Hellenes, ant
was the father of King Haakon, OF Nor
way.
He was born June 3, 1843. AS Prince
Christian, he married Princess Louise
of Sweden, and Norway, July 20, 1853
at Stockholm. He is survived by the
Queen and seven children.
Through marriage the reigning fam
lily OF Denmark is connected with prac
