The president in reply appeared be-
fore a joint session of congress and
asked for authority to use the army
and navy to enforce the demands of
the United States. This request was
granted Immediately and orders will
be issued for the blockade and seizure
of all Mexican ports on The east and
west coasts of the southern republic.
This movement, while nor in itself

Wilson Makes Terse Reply.
Huerta's defiance came after a day
of haggling by him. 1t came after
President Wilson had again served no
tice in the most emphatic terms that
his demand for a salute was uncondi-
tional. The exact words of the mes
sage which the president sent to Sec
rotary Bryan from White Sulphur
Springs and which ended all hope on
the part of Huerta for a modification
of this governments ultimatum were
these:
Tell O'S%haughnessy our terms are
unconditional in every detail"
(Signedl WOODROW WILSON. .
The vigorous telegram from the
president was caused by an eleventh
hour demand on the part of Huerta
that the United States, through
Charge O'Sh~aughnessy in the City of
Mexico, should enter into a formal
protocol giving him assurance that
this government would fire a return
salute to the Mexican salute of apol-
ogy.
President Wilson informed Huerta
that the United States would not give
him a single assurance beyond the
statement contained in Admiral
Mayo's original demand on the Next
can general, which stipulated that an
American war vessel would return the
Mexican salute.
Huerta had signiied his willingness
to yield his demand for a simultaneous
salute provided this government would
grant his request for formal assur-
ances as to q guns in reply.

speech at the corner of North Third and
Main street before a crowd of highly in

NtiOn Of the legislature in adding 2OOO
more enactments at the last session and
stated that the legislature cost the state
$1,000 per day. He argued that at least
100000 could be saved by shorter ses-
sions. He said that almost 20 per cent
OF the states taxes went to commissions
and he was in favor of greatly reducing
their number. Mr. Roethe comdemed
the law of the state aid for highway in
that the money from the state is really
gotten by taxing the town wishing this

the Leader 30 cents and the Gazette 10
cents per folio OF 100 words. The Leader
has been printing the proceedings at the
rate of 20 cents per folio and we found
that we were doing it at no profit so we
raised the bid to 80 cents. The reading

been set up by linotype Of OconomoNoc
this being cheaper than setting here by

cents per folio and IL we charged 10 cents
per folio we would only get about cent
per column inch for space and the work
OF printing, as folio covers 2 q inches
of space. 1t certainly must cost the
Gazette about the same amount and if
so it is printing the proceedings at no
profit and no doubt at loss. A folio is
about II or 18 lines and at 19c makes
the price about one cent per line. Ws
