Carson to London

Sir Edward Carson, the Unionist
leader in Ulster, has left Craigavon
for London, but the report that Brig
adler General Hubert Cough of the
Third Cavalry brigade at Curragh
camp is coming to the capital SEEM
ed tonight to be premature. He still
is at Curragh camp. The continual
ton of the crisis is attributed to Pre-
mier Asquith's reluctance to remove
Col Seely from the post of secretary
of war. Col. Seelys REIMBURSEMENT of
his portfolio doubtless would satisfy
Generals French and Ewart and Pre-
mier Asquith's objection to having him
do so seems to indicate internal dis
sensions in the cabinet itself.

MAY REOPEN
FIGHT AGAINST
REGULATIONOF
COTTON TRADE

Washington, March 27.-After the
Senate today had passed the bill to
regulate trading in cotton futures,
Senator Kenyon, who, with others, had
misunderstood an amendment to legal
ize pooling operations, moved Tor a
reconsideration and paved the way for
re-opening the fight on the measure
tomorrow. The amendment would an
null the supreme court decision on the
Patton case, that pooling with an
agreement not to sell on an exchange
violated the" Sherman law.
The bill as passed would provide
that no person connected with an ex-
change should send through the mails
matter promoting enforcement OF a
future delivery contract unless the ex-
change required all such transactions
to comply with certain conditions,
among them that contracts must pro-
vide for delivery within department OF
agriculture standards.
The pooling amendment, introduced
by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia,
was advocated by him to prevent such
prosecutions as that of Patton and as
sociates who were indicted by the fed
eral government on charges of pool
ing cotton in 1910 with the purpose oil
Withholding it from the market until
they had reaped profits of some &c.,
600 600. Senator Smith declared these
men should have been regarded as
benefactors instead of criminals.
The passage of the bill closed
long contest led by Senator Smith OF
South Carolina for legislation against
practices on cotton exchanges, de-
nounced as injurious to the cotton in
duStry.

Secretary Bryan Also TO Take a
Trip 10 South America

Washington, D. c., March 27-(Spec-
ial.)-Interest in Mexico is not easily
aroused at Washington, but just now
there is some attention to develop
ments. Parleys of importance undoubt-
eddy have been under way at Vera
Cruz between John Lind and Foreign
Minister Rojas of Gen. Huerta's cabi-
net. The British charge has likewise
been in Vera Cruz. Reports of the
transactions have been forwarded to
the State Department. Various stories
have been put into circulation, about
a change in the Mexican situation be-
fore long. There have been insinua-
lions about Great Britain being on the
verge of doing something magnani-
nous for the United States and help
ing persuade Huerta to step down and
out.
While considerable talk along this
line prevails from day to day, no one
had thus far gotten very much that
is definite about 1t. The Panama ca
nal tolls exemption repeal bill has
been pending in the Senate and House
Enemies have been crying that the
administration is trucking to Great
Britain and that President Wilson pro-
poses to allow the bloody English to
run the canal. Now whether this canal
repeal bill situation has anything to
do with the peculiar talk from Vera
Cruz can not be stated. Certainly the
President has been very anxious to
have a matter of legislation or two in
which Great Britain Is interested hur-
ried through Congress and certain 1t is
that the Presidents critics have been
resisting that legislation.
For example, there is that bill to put
into force the terms Of treaty with
Great Britain covering fishery rights
in boundary waters with Canada. The
President has urged the chairmen of
the foreign relations committees of
Congress to hurry up with that bill.
The committees were very prompt in

Fighting in Streets

Rifles, machetes, pistols and hand
grenades were used in a hundred diff
ferent encounters in the narrow thor
oughfares. The. grenades of home
manufacture were lighted with the CT
garettes which are an unofficial part
of the equipment of every Mexican
soldier.
General Villa does not yet know his
own loss, except that it was heavy.
The wounded suffered terribly from
thirst, and many died because of lack
Of water and surgical attention.
The dead of both sides were mingled
in the streets or found huddled under
the piles of earth which had once been
adobe houses or corrals, wrecked by
rebel shells.
Veterans say that no more furious
battle ever was fought in Mexico. 1t
was a delirium. General Villa did not
stop to mourn his losses, but with
characteristic energy began prepara-
tions to move on Torreon. He expects
to cooperate with four thousand men
under Gen. Herrera, who is under or
ders to attack the town from the east.
The newspaper correspondents were
permitted to enter the city with Villa.
Everywhere rebel soldiers were engag-
ed in rescuing the injured and taking
them to the railroad.
