 Reports from General Ramos, who has established his base of operations at Parral. said that he had the main bandit forces practically surrounded south of Sombreretillo and expected to force a fight as soon as he had his local commands disposed to his liking. Following an inspection trip to Rosa rio, he despatched heavy reinforce ments from Parral for the Rosario garrison. General Ramos reported that he was moving these troops with a view to future operations" and added that a larger garrison at Rosa

WASHINGTON, July 14.-John Bes- sen Clarke, federal district judge at Cleveland. Ohio. was nominated by President Wilson today as an associ- ate justice of the supreme court to till the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Chas. Evans Hughes. to accept the Republican nomination for the presidency. Prompt confirmation Of the appointment by the Senate is eX- pected. A call for a meeting of the Judiciary committee for Monday to consider was issued tonight. Two years ago the Senate confirmed the nomination of MT. Clarke as district judge after an investigation had been disposed of, suggesting that his serv- ice as counsel for a railroad might have impaired his usefulness as ittriet ssq

 General ErnestO Garcia, command ing the Parral garrison, also reported to General TreviLo today that all danger of a successful new attack upon the town by the bandits had vanished with the arrival Of General Ramos troops. These. he said. have repaired the railroad and telegraph lines from Jimenez to Parral which the bandits destroyed in several places on their retreat
 General Trevino announced that re. ports from all other points in his dis trict, including Tampico. indicated quiet.

RELEASE ASKED BY HUNDREDS

General Bliss Visit To Border Develops Surprises. Boys Want Action. Will Visit Arizona.
(By Review Leased Wire)

SAN ANTONIO, July 14.-General Tasker H. Bliss looked over the big camp of national guardsmen here to- day. Accompanied by General Funs- ton the assistant chief of staff who has been sent to the border to pre- pare detailed report of the federal ized state troops for the secretary of war visited the quarters of the Illinois forces.
 It is improbable that General Bliss will ask for the men to be paraded at: any point on the border. The informa- ton he wants will be contained in the answers to questions regarding the health of the men, the sanitary con ditions under which they are living, and the general fitness of the troops
 General Bliss expects to leave Mon day for Brownsville and there begin an investigation of militia camps that will lead him westward along the border as far as Arizona. It may be several weeks before his work is com pleted.
 The number of men asking release from service on the plea that they have dependent relatives has not been made public. but it was said today that the requests were coming in hundreds. From the state organiza- tions many are yet being dropped be- cause of physical defects and in some cases the disposition of those failing to qualify is proving puzzling
 Held at this place are eight negroes. They came here a members of the Eighth Illinois. a negro regiment. They were not mustered in at Spring field and the medical examiner here rejected them.

CHARLESTON, S. C., July 14. The big naval collier Hector, carrying sixty marines in addi- ten to her crew of 50 men and 12 officers, sank off Charleston light today, according to report from Captain Hunt, of the big tug Visil- ant, which tried to go to the Electors assistance. He was un able to say whether those aboard escaped.
 The steamer Alamo had been standing by the collier today, hav- ing responded to her calls when she was disabled slime sixty miles of shore in last nights hurricane. Static conditions were such that no wireless report could be ob- tained from the Alamo today. The sea still was running high.
 FLoUNDERED, HELPLESS.
 The Hector left Port Royal for Santo Domingo yesterday. She attempted to put into pert here when the storm disabled her, but, according to Captain Hunt, she went down about nine and one half miles from the Charleston Iightship. Captain Hunt said part of the colIier's superstructure re- mained above water. The Hector displaced 11,2co tons, was 3e4 feet long and was built in 1908.

 There was no agreement however. on the child labor, workmens' compen- satiOn and immigration measure and their champions now are insisting that they should not be deferred until next session.

REPUBLICANS SPEED UP
 DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATION

ator Gallinger. the Republican leader, told the senate today that how soon an adjournment was reached. was en- tirely within the hands of the Demo crats and that the Republicans would good naturedly cooperate in complet ing the program and would resort to no obstructive tactics. The Republi- cans. he said, wanted to go home for the campaign as badly as did the Dem ocrats.
 Democratic leaders realize that final passage of the naval and army appro- priation bill and the revenue and ship ping measures alone will require four or five weeks at least and if any oth- CT measures are to be taken up the idea of an adjournment by September must be abandoned.
 The House is expected to complete the entire legislative program suS sested by President Wilson by pas sage tomorrow of the Fucker cor rupt practices bill. When Leader Kitchin took a report upon the situa- ton to the White House today the president said he had nothing further to suggest.

FATE OF CREW UNKNOWN.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Up to a late hour tonight all efforts of the navy wireless to ascertain whether there had been loss of life in the sinking of the naval collier Hector, off Charleston, had been unavailing. A series of calls for help from the collier. stopping abruptly at four p. m. gave rise to grave fears for the safety of those aDoard, but officials believe there still was a possibility that they had escaped.
 Five brief messages. all indicating that the collier was in a serious plight, reached the navy department during the afternoon. After the last of them came at o'clock saying that the yes sel has settled to the bottom and was breaking up. and making an urgent appeal for help, the department was unable to re-establish communication with Charleston.
 Sunk Close to Land.
 The first word came from the Hec- tor at 2:O5 D. m. It gave her position as IA miles south of Charleston and said she had a starboard list of 10 degrees. Twenty minutes later she sent out an S. O. s. call and added to the distress cipher:

WASHINGTON. July 1.-The in formal negotiations for the settlement of issues between the United States and General Carranza are understood to have advanced a long step today when Acting Secretary Polk and Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa- dor-designate. held their third confer ence since General Carranza's pro- posaI Tor a diplomatic adjustment was received and accepted.
 Definite Aim Soon.
 Although both Mir. Polk and the ambassador decline to say what mat ters were under discussion there were indications that negotiations have passed into the definite stage where specifc questions were being formul- ated for probable submition to joint international commission. The plan of settling differences between the two countries is provided for in the treaty of 1883.
 Unofficial advices from Mexico City have indicated that General Carransa favored resort to it in the present case and Mir. Polk is believed to have acceded to the suggestion despite the nature of the differences

 President Wilson discussed the question with some Of his advisers to- day and the fact that no interruption of the Polk-Arredondo conference re- suited was taken as an indication that the President is pelased with the trend of the negotiations.
