 ''I have just begun the attack on Palacio Gomez, and will take 1t tonight. ' Villa wired. The message was wired from ElverJel. three miles from TOrreOn. Gomez Palacio and Laredo are with out important defense, and these towns were never seriously defended in the previous revolutions. The real test of strength is expected when Villa hurls his force against the defenses of Tor reon.
 On this battle. it is conceded, hinges the fate of the revolution.
 
 Preliminary skirmishing, which en- abled the rebels to bring their batteries into action, began at daybreak. The advance was preceded by furious can- nonading directed at the federal bat teries- and infantrX supports on the mountain slopes
 At this hour the battle is reported stil in progress Streams of wounded are being brought to the field hospital here as fast as possible are being sent back to the general hospital at Berme- iillo. The losses on both sides are re- ported heavy.

Explains Seamen S Bill.

Washington Feb. 20. A
meeting in this city, President
Furuseth, of the International Sea-
mems union, answered the claims
of shipowners that the La Toilette
seamens bill, now pending in Con-
gress, would be handicap to
American shipowners. The union.
ist said, in part: THE wages of
seamen depend upon the port
where they are hired The for
eigu vessel hiring men in a foreign
port pays less wages than she would
if she hired her men in American
ports. Under present treaties and
law the foreign vessel has the as
sistance of the police power to the
United States to compel the men
to remain at work at the foreign
rates of wages while in our ports.
Take away the power of the for
eign ship to thus hold the meu in
our ports and the men will quit.
The vessel must then hire another
crew at the wages of the American
port, or to guard against the men
quitting she must pay enough
wages in the foreign port to induce
the men to stay with the vessel
here Thus there will be equal
wages, and for the first time ID
sixty years the American vessel
will have an equal chance. Amer
leans who are interested in foreigh b
ships know this, hence their oppo-
siticn."

How Unionism Is Fought.

Masterson, a convicted gun man"
and strikebreaker during the recent
street car strike in this city. testi-
fed before the Public Service Com
mission that the management of
the Terre Haute Traction Company
employed him to assist In stopping
the men from organizing. Master

carm n, and for this purpose /
forged the name of ] c. Colgan,
union leader, to letter of intro
ductlon to conductor named
Hodge, who had the list. +" Mas.
terson also testified that he turned
over to the company papers he had
stolen, and in obedience TO the
coulpany's officials, he swere falsely
that conductors who were active in
the employees interests had been
discovered knocking down by
him. These men were then dis
charged on Masterson affdavits.
The Terre Haute carmen are de-
manding higher wages and the
right TO organize. The company
asked Federal Judge Anderson for
an injunction to stop them from
striking, but this was afterwards
withdrawn and the matter is now
in the hands of the State Public
Service Commission.

The principal garment for the men In
cold weather was generally coarse

double purpose of cloak and hat, for
the hood attached to the collar behind
hung upon the back and shoulders as
a cape, and when desired it served to
cover the whole head. and especially

Frankfort. KY, Feb. 20.-The
Board of Prison Commissioners in
dicate they are conscious of the
growing opposition to convict labor
in this state by agreeing to con
tract with the Kentucky Broom
Company for only three and one
half months. The company indi-
Gates it holds similar views by
raising the price paid for this kind
of labor from so cents to IS cents
per man, per day. The contract
will begin February ard will run
until the middle of May. An ofl-
cial of the commissioner states
that the reason the board did not
make a longer contract was that
they were waiting TO see what ac-
ton would be taken by the state
Legislature. He also states that
the Kentucky Broom company
formerely paid only 80 cents a day
under their old contract. The
present price of rs cents is the
largest figure ever paid for convict
labor in the Eddyville penitentiary.
This increase in price will net the
state So, 200 year more than un
der the old contract" The Louis

not agree that the Prison Commis-
sioners have made good bargain,

to the cost of maintaining we'll

Ampere the famous mathematician

the following story from the Taegliche

When he had finished his lecture and
was about TO take his seat he found, to

and, seizing calendar of the academy,
he opened to the date Saint Hilaire had
mentioned and read: Napoleon Bona

Sciences, chosen In Nivose Of the year

Much disturbed, Ampere made all
sorts Of apologies and explained that
he had not recognized the emperor on
account Of his poor eyesight.
