DAY Of THE

Who Has Held Balance of Power i'm
National Republican Convention
Has Gone

Washington, Oct. 1.-Plans to re-
publican national conventions were
submitted today TO the republican
congressional campaign committee
by an advisory committee OF five
members of the House appointed for
that purpose.
The advisory committee offered
three solutions of the problems, anu
in each instance their proposal will
be based upon the idea that the del
egates TO national conventions shall
represent votes actually cast in cleo
tions. and not be chosen merely on
the basis of population, as at pres
ent.
The plan, which has many support
ers in the advisory committee, pro-
yides for one delegate from each
congressional district where the re-
publican vote is forty per cent or
less of the total; two delegates
where it is over 60 per cent. There
would he four delegates at large
from each state.
Under the old method Of choosing
delegates the South had 22S men
seated in the last republican nation
al convention. Under the plan out
lined it would have 149. The total
number OF delegates at the last con-
VentiOn was .062. and under the
new Ilan the total would be 1,044
SO that the proportion of \orthern
ID Southern delegates would be
largely increased.
Two other plans which will also
lie submitted give one delegate fol
each 10000 votes, with four al
large from each state. Under one
the Southern representation would
be IS, and under the other 149.

SAVAGE FIGHTING
| SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
Bloody Battle Between FederalS and
COnStitutiOnaliStS Near
BarrOteran

Piedras Negras, Sept 30.-More
than 400 federal and rebel dead
were left on the field below Barro-
teran, where a fierce struggle took
place between the two forces Satur-
day and Sunday, according to re-
ports brought to constitutiOnalist
headquarters Yesterday.
Both sides were compelled to re-
tire from the field on account of
lack of water and ammunition, the
ccnstitutionalists falling back to
Sabinas where they dynimited the
great railway bridge across the Sa-
binas river TO prevent another at
tack from the federals under Gen.
Mas.
Eye witnesses OF the fighting say
desperate hand-tO-hanl fighting fGl-
tiOnists' ammunition and that the
fe leralS at one time were on the
point of fleeing from the field when
they were rallied by their officers.
The dead, it is said are piled high
where these conflicts took place
Both sides agreed to a virtual ar
mistice last Sunday to care for the
wounded.
Dispatches inde cate the federals
will resume the march to Sabinas
after rest at AurorO. Confirma ton
OF the destruction of all the mining
towns in the path of the retrea ting
constitutionalists was received to,
day.
All refugees able to cross into
American territory are leaving this
city as it is expected it will be burn
ed if the constitutionalists are de.
feated in further fighting. Every
available space here i filled with
wounded.

instead OF slumping away from
Washington without leave, should
Hbe taking up and disposing OF a
large number of minor matters which
are pending. and which, if acted
upon now, will facilitate early ad-
journment of Congress next year.
The administration intends now to
make a square issue with democrat
.ic senators, who either are wobbling
on currency legislation or who are
opposed TO the pending measure.
Those who are not for me are
against. me-" is 10 be the presidents 5
motto. The president knows that he
enjoys in a larSe measure the con-

his advisers think that when recall

most of them will line up in order tO
protect Jnelf own bacon.
The coming week will witness the
fist real efforts TO speed up the SEN
atorial machinery, so as to get ac-
ton on the banking and currency
bill. Senator Owen, chairman of the
committee, who is acting with Pres
iGent Wilson and Senator Kern, will
make an effort TO put through the
committee a resolution TO close hear
i2gs and report the bill to the SEN
ate. 1t looks now as if this motion
will be defeated Gecisively. but it
viii have the effect TO smoke out
the democratic members of the conf

the committee are said to be at
