TnLMAN is UNHAPPY
BUT FAVORS REPEAL
PONY CONTEST
is NOT A FAKE

Certain merchants here recently
put on pony contest, and since that
time certain concern, itself engaged
in like business of selling pony con-
tests, has flooded the town with cir
cular letters purporting to advertise
that certain "fakir" has been get
ting up contests in their name.
wish to say that l know nothing of
this "fakir" nor do 1 represent the
concern which is sending out the cir
cular letter. I have this to say: The
contestants in the pony and cart con-
test which 1 sold the merchants of
Union is bona fide proposition. The
merchants are responsible parties,
each one of them, and know that the
pony and cart will be given to the
winner; let all boys and girls trying
in this contest get busy. The time is
snort, the pony and cart is ready for
delivery. The winner will receive a
Prize worth while.

South Carolina Senator Ex-
plains His Unfortunate
Position on It---COn-
yentiOn'S Act Leads
Him Right.

Washington, June 10.-The senate
today proceeded steadily forward to-
ward final action on the Panama canal
tolls exemption repeal bill. Leaders
tonight, however, were unwilling to
predict the day when a vote can be
taken.
Even with a night session tonight
there was no certainty of vote on
the first proposition to be disposed of
the socalled Simmons-Norris amend
ment qualifying terms of the bill.
Senator Borah, an anti-repeal lead
er, predicted that this amendment
alone would be debated four or five
hours. Action, towever, within the
next day or two is expected.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
today spoke, critcizing the president
fer bringing the tolls issue before the
country at this time and epdanger-
ing the chances of the Democratic
party in congressional elections next
fall. He announced he would vote
for repeal only because he felt his
State party convention had freed him
from the tolls joker in the Baltimore
platform.
Senator Tillman first briefly out
lined the history of the exemption and
the repeal bill. He then went on to
say:
'.It will be hard to make the aver
age voter understand the contradic-
ton and seeming betrayal of the peo-
pie in not carrying out our pledges.
Democratic candidates in the next
election will be kept busy explaining
and ap0ligizing, which is y very un-

that we are to have the course for a
full week deserve the thanks of the
entire community. The following de-
scription of the weeks entertainment
is worthy of close attention.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 10.-Dif-
ferenceS of opinion so serious that
they imperil the continuance of the
conferences here have developed be-
tween the American delegates and the

vital points there is flat disagree
mcnt.
First, the meditators, representing
presumably the viewpoint of the Mex
provisional president of Mexico shall
be neutral who shall not have been
an active partisan in the constitution
alist cause.
The American delegates have stated
emphatically that unless the choice
falls on a man of distinct constitu-
tionaliSt Sympathies, not necessarily
military chief or leader, but one who
would command their confidence,
there can be no hope of constitution

 TO RACE APPEAL

The All-Alaslxa Sweepstakes race has some good friends in Chicago who did not waste any time in responding ,o the appeal of the Kennel Club for nssastance in raising the purse for the race.
 Yesterday afternoon Ward Estey, secretary of the Kennel Club wired to Grommes and Ulrich in Chicago stat ing that any assistance that they ceuld give the big race would be ap- preciatcd. Early this morning the re- ply came over the wire that tho firm had donated ono hundred dollars to the race and that 1t had h"'n for warded by mail.
 The committee which will handle the Candle end of tho race has been arpointed and will consist of the fol- lowing: J. J. Connors, J. c. Kennedy. J. H. Murphy Hart Humber. \, Ky oeen and R. S. Dimmick.

 The secretary confirmed the press dispatches from Washington in regard to the drawing of an entirely new coal land bill for presentation to con E, ess which would embody the ideas of the several hitherto divergent forces in Washington and he assured his hearers that whatever Mir. Wilson
 undertook for the territory of Alaska would be undertaken with but the one thought in mind the best interests ot the territory for the future as well as
 for the present.
 The speech of the cabinet oincer was received with hearty applause aud commenda ton and it is believed

They have driven the federal troops from their trenches at Gomez after terrific hand to hand struggle In which the fed eral loss Is given as seven hundred dead. This shows tho desperate na- ture of the attack and the stubborn defense put up by tho federal troops before they would yield their position. From statements received here 1t would seem that before he succeeded iu taking Gomez General Villa was obliged to abandon his attack on other defences of the city md to throw tn" weight of his entire army against the strongly defended position.
 For moro than six hours the suburb ot Torreon was shclled by the rebel batteries before tho first assault was made against the entrenchments. When the rebel lines advanced to the
