Washington, Jan. 19.-The campaign
of the equal suffragists to induce the
house of representatives to create a
committee on the enfranchisement of
women met with rebuff. The seven
Democrats composing a majority of
the house rules committee voted four
to three against recommending the
passage of the resolution creating the
committee. After a long discussion
the Democratic majority concluded the
time is not ripe for creation of sepa-
rate committee on the subject.

Galveston, May 4-One hundred
American refugees living along the
Tamesi river, about sixty miles from

gees, and during a three-hour engage
ment shell struck an oil barge be-
longing to the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany and exploded, setting fire to the
barge.
D. S. Williams of the National Rail-

said that English and German officers
were insisting that all foreigners leave
Tampico for self-protection, as the
Mexicans were declaring that any
white face was a gringo now"
