Falls in Unexpected Battle
Powers Take Hand.

Durrazzo, Albania, June 15.-Gov
ernment troops under personal lead
ership of Prince William today re
pulsed a strong attack on the capital
by Mussulmen insurgents. At the out
set of the fighting the insurgents gain
ed an advantageous position, but after

this city at 8 this morning, maintain
ing for hours a sharp rifle fire sup
ported by artillery. Among the first
defenders of the Albanian capital to be
killed was Colonel Thompson, a
Dutch officer selected by the powers
to command the gendarmerie In sue
cession to the Swedish officer who
held the position. Blue
Jackets from the international feet off
the Albiana coast were sent ashore TO
guard the foreign legations.
Attack Is Surprise.

prise to residents of the capital, where
an official statement had been publish

against the rule of Prince William had
been utterly defeated by the govern
nent forces a few days ago.
1t is generally estimated the govern
nent has 5000 trained men in the field
md insurgents $1,000, the latter for
he most part without discipline and
scattered over a wide range.
Casualties during the battle were nu-
nerous. Renewal of the attack is fear

here that the United States would re
code in its desire to name as head or
the temporary government a man who
would be acceptable to the revolution

ROASTING ABOUT IT.

The Democratic press is Boosting
that Congressman Nicely has secured
a mail box for the B. & o. depot al
Fatrmont as one OF his great accom-
pIisllments for his district. Perhaps
if he is given another term in con,
gress, he might be able to establish
another mail box in the new 3. & n
station when it is completed.
What the voters would prefer
would be the establishment OF fac
tories with plenty of work at goof
wages and a reduction In the high
cost of living.

shows the decadence OF the opposi=
ton to the general principle for
which former Speaker Cannon
stands. Perhaps no clearer state
ment Of the, changed conditions I'M
tile Central West has been made
than in that Of a dispatch from Chi
cago to the Washington Post, Of
which tho following extracts are
samples: Z.
..The middle west farmers and
business men. feel that the men nov
legislating in Washington are pro-
ducing legislation chiefly of a nature
to tear down, as rapidly and as thor
oughly as possible, the business bull
warks and industries ofrthe country,
land expect the wrecked owners and
their employees to submit cheerfully
to additional tavxes to cover the
wreckage. The view OF the west is
that the present administration is
devoting its best efforts, not to the
work OF encouraging the industries
of the land, but to hamperfng them
as much as possible and devising
new methods of slapping on taxes to
cover the terrible gaps cut in the
treasury.
Voters Of tile west feel that it was
not the European war, but the tariff
folly of the administration, that is
responsible for the great depression
hanging over the United States at a
time when the entire country should
be at the very top rung of prosper
| ity.
The Democratic tariff policies,
they assert, had proven a dismal
failure long before the war was de-
clared. Gold was going out in enor-
nous quantities., foreign goods were
pouring in,. and American industries
were being closed down. Thousands
of men were, and still are, out Of emf
ployment, with no prospects, and the
income tax had failed utterly 20
make up the increasing deficit. This
was the situation before the war, bat
the moment it was declared the
democrats laid all the woes of the
iiAmerican people at its doors"
The indication makes more en-.
phatic every day that when the bat
lie of November comes great gaps
Twill be made in the Democratic lines.
