Fight May Have Been Futile.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-Sup-
porters of the Webb bill, to prevent
shipments of intoxicating liquors into
dry States, elated by the bills pas
sage in the Senate yesterday in place
of the SheppardKeyon bill, discover
ed to-day that through a parliament
tary error, their long fight probably
has been failure, so far as this ses-
sion is concerned. The bill, as the
Senate passed it, was identical in it's
provision with the House measure,
but when it was substituted for the
Keyon-Sheppard bill in the Senate,
the Senate bills number was allowed
to remain on the passed bill. House
Parliamentarian Crisp says this
makes the measure an entirely new
one, SO far as the House is concerned,
and it will have to go to the Judici-
ary Committee and take its regular
turn on the calendar.

London, Feb. 10.-News reached
the world to-day that Captain Robert
F. Scott, the British explorer. aud
four of his companions, perished In
the Antartic while on their return
journey from the South Pole. The
dead, in addition to Captain Scott,

Petty Officer E. Evans.
They reached their goal on Janu-

Captain Roald Amundsen, the Nor

country there. Then they turned
back toward the bases they had
formed on their outward journey, but
were overtaken, overwhelmed and
destroyed by a blizzard.
News of the death of the explorers
was brought to civilization to-day by

report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which shows that dur

jured, more or less seriously. 77.175.
This frightful loss of life which has
occurred here in our midst, in pro-
found peace, is fifty times as great as
the loss OF American soldiers in the
Spanish War, and also causes the
losses that have recently occurred in
battles between Turkey and Bulgaria
and her Allies to pale into insignifi-

Mexico City, Feb. 9.-The army,
which is in revolt in Mexico City, took
possession of the public buildings,
shot down Federal adherents in the
street, released General Felix Diaz,
leader of the Vera Cruz revolt, from
prison and, falling into line under his
banner, practically captured the Mex
lean capital.
Francisco Madero, President of the
Republic, and members of his Cabi-
net, took refuge in the National Pal
ace, where they were besieged, but,
with some royal troops at their backs,
succeeded in defending the Palace
from the assaults of the revolution
lists.
General DiaZ, who is the nephew
of the deposed President, Porfirio
Diaz, is now at the head of major
ity of the capital troops, including
most of the artillery, and is in poses
sion of the arsenal in the city and the
powder works nearby.
The day was marked by four sepa-
rate engagements, the most sanguin-
ary of which took place in front of
the National Palace. But the most
important was that which terminated
in the artillery barracks.
1t is believed that not less than
200 people were killed in the fighting.
Among the number was General Ber-
nardo Reyes, strong adherent Of
Portifirio Diaz, and ex-Secretary of
War
The mutinous troops were led by
students of the military school at
Tlalpam, a suburb. They marched to
the prison to which General Felix
Diaz had been transferred for safe
keeping and released him. General
Bernardo Reyes was also freed from
the Santiago military prison, there
being no resistance in either quarter.
At $50 O'Clock, the first encoun-
ter with loyal troops occurred In
front of the National Palace, and
General Reyes, whose long record as
an army officer, was broken little
more than a year ago by farcical
revolt, was instantly killed by bull
let through the head.

1t took more than twenty years of
persistent agitation TO get pure food

nobody thought of changing il, ex-
cept TO make 1t more rigorous.
Nineteen years of progressive
emasculation by courts and antag-
onism by powerful interests followed
the passage OF the first interstate
commerce law. Then, in 1906, a
vigorous Executive extorted from an
unwilling Congress amendments that
made regulation regulate. The for
ward movement was denounced as an
effort TO destroy the railroads 1t

When Federal meat inspection was

none would dare oppose it.
A generation and more of agita-
tiOn preceded creation of the parcel
post. In less than a month from its
establishment its stupendous success
has vastly more than vindicated those
pioneer advocates who had suffered

Hill Of the need for a constitutional
