751 Paso, Tex., March . 31 The most
Ihqxirtant battle or the Muxicm revol

nora hus ended after stubborn righting
wjk-h began on Monday near the tovns
of Uros and San Rafael. Although the
ruhete outnumbered ine federals their
federals werf able to obtain reinforce
ments and additional ammunition at
Jfc-rmosiilo and the insurrectos were
eoi)n-lt) to, abandon the field. The
lo on both sides were heavy but the
t rejfOrtK of the killed and Injured were
greatly exaggerated. It is not known
that more than 100 were killed on both
aides.
Reports by the Mexican authorities
that federals gained a. decisive victory
In the first day's fight is denied by
mail advices from Hermosillo, to which
town the federal wounded had been
UMceii. The movements of the insurrec
tH after the battle are unknown. The
ruuioijhat they captured the town of
Sun Benito is denied officially by Gov
ernor Cubeillas at Hermosillo, who also
state thtt no fighting occurred at the
tewn of Urea itself. The report that
ilermosilio is threatened by a rebel
force isalso unconfirmed There arc
nortiiHtAauiubjakiitiateirrmnor.s cur
r nt that Juarez will be attacked soon.
Numerous bands of insurrectos have
orosaed the border near EjPaso from
the American side recently? Juan N.
Medina, former officer of the Mexican
iity. is said .o be in command of one
of tnese bundc.
Mai! advices from Torreon report en- j
gagemeiits at Cuencamo and Castant, !
near Monclova. and that the Santa Inez
ranch, thirty-five miles of Napimi has ,

RUMORS REACHED NOGALES.
Nogales, March 31 There was a per
sistent rumor here of a movement on
Hermosillo to lie made by the Insurrec
tos before Sunday. In accomplishing
this. It is admitted, its success will
largely depend upon keeping the federal
forces occupied at Ures.
It is acknowledged that the insurrec
to have a force near San Benito, a few
miles from Hermosillo, and there are
also rumors that it has been captured.
P. Sundoval. presldente of Nogales,
today said he had received official ad
vfces from Governor Cubillas and Gen
eral Torres that the insurrectos had
abandoned Ures after having been driv
en from the mill at San Rafael which
Vas dynamited. No advices in regard
to the reported capture of San Benito
have been received.
OBSTRUCTING ROAD TO MEXICALL
-Mexican, March 31 Scouts under
Francisco Quljada were busy all day
blowing up the Picacho trail with dy
namite In anticipation or the Immediate
approach of the Mexican federals from
Tocate under-Colonel Mayol. Dull ex
plosions could be heard all afternoon
frtn points along the boundary, thlr
teOn miles away.
Tlie trail Is In portions very narrow,
and it is evidently the n!anvof the in
surrectos to make It as nearlv impas
suble as possible and then post a strong
force to attack the federals as they ap
proach. It is expected that Berthold
will arrive from Alamo with his force
of . seventy-five to assist Quljadu's
lvunty-five men at the pass.
Salinas who is in command here, pes
irtte the protests and denials of Leva
is plainly Married over the situation. In
the event that Mayol hurls back the
cbniblned forces of Quijada and Bert
lftld at the pass, the federals will eas
ier proceed and form a cordon about
tips city up to the boundary and starve
tpe insurrectos out. The supply of ra
tions here will not last more than four
oVfive days unless replenished.
Stanley's independent force of eighty
men constitutes the only menace to
federals in case they beselge Mexicali.
WITHIN FIFTY MILES.
Campo, Cal., March 31 There Is a
repdrt here this afternoon that Col.
Mayol in command of 500 Mexican
troops., marching in. divisions, on Mex
ican, lias reached Picacho Pass. This
brings him within fifty miles of Mex
ican. The force yet on the west side
of the mountains and the scattered
parties are to be joined on the east
side before the regular advance upon
Mexicali Is made.

THAN THE PRESENT
Dun's
Estimate of
Outlook
the Business
New York, Mar. 31. Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Business looks better in prospect
than in performance, for confidence
In the future is greater than the pres
ent activity.
Some lull appears in the demand
for pig iron and 'In markets for the'
finished products. However, business,
as a whole. Is satisfactory.
Reduced operations are in , effect
In plate mills, which are now running
55 to 60 per cent capacity.
Equipment orders from the rail
roads came out strong. One bridge
project will require about sixty
thousand tons and considerable other
work pending.
Jobbers report limited trade witii
retailers, who are especially cautious
In cotton goods lines and the same
feeling is noted among buyers of
woolen and worsteds. Some dress
goods mills have been releasing em
ployes. There Is some Increase In the de
mand for domestic packer hides,
though no activity exists.

Postmaster General Makes
Sweeping Changes
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
Heads of Divisions Had
Paid No Attention to In
structions and Had Taken
No Interest in the Re-
formsvof Postal Service
Washington, March 31 Drastic ac
tion was taken tonight by Postmaster
General Hitchcock In effecting a re
organization of the railway mall ser
vice. A dozen changes of the most im
portant officers were made by Mr.
Hitchcock as a result of careful inves
tigation and consideration.
. Theodore Ingalls of Kentucky, super
intendent of the division of rural malls,
was appointed general superintemTent
of the railway mall service at $4,000 a
year, in succession to Alexander Grant,
who was transferred to St. Paul, Min
nesota as division superintendent, with
a reduction to $3,000.
Norman Perkins, division superinten
dent of St. Pau! becomes superinten
dent of the Washington division, suc
ceeding Charles W. Vlckery. who is ap
pointed chief clerk of the Cincinnati
uivision, vice a. j. nan, reduced to a
railway postal clerk.
Clyde M. Reed, district superinten
dent at Cleveland, is appointed super
intendent of the Cincinnati division to
succeed Charles Rager, reduced to chief
clerk in the Atlantic division In place
of John F. Biodgect, removed.
John C. Koons, postmastr.r inspector
In the Washington division is appointed
railway mail superintendent In charge
of the Cleveland division. George C.
Thompson is appointed superintendent
of the division of rural malls in succes
sion of Mr. Ingalls. Inspector Daniel
of the New York division is appointed
inspector in charge at St. Louis.
The outcome Is the most sweeping
change ever made In the history of the
railway mail service. While signing
the necessary orders for the changes,
Mr. Hitchcock said: "The investiga
tion which wo conducted so long and
so carefully indicated clearly that the
action taken was absolutely necessary.
The railway mall service nas suffered
from poor management and lack of
supervision.
In certain divisions it was found
that the chief clerks had not been in
specting linen as was their duty. Some
of tiie routes had received no inspection
for several years.
The business methods of the ser
vice in several offices were antiquated
and that as a consequence there was
much duplication of work.
"Instructions from the department
directing inspections, for example, for
and Conservation of equipment received
only perfunctory attention. There has
also been a lack of co-operation in car
rying into effect certain reforms which
I had Indicated and made it evident
that no proper spirit of co-ordination
with tlfe department existed in the rail
way mail service. The changes which
I have made in the executive manage
ment will tend In my judgment to
ward the accomplished In a satisfac
tory way of the reforms In methods
and practices which we have instituted
throughout the postal service."

WADE A MONKEY
OF AN ASPIRANT
CHAMPION WOLGAST DEFEATED
- LA GRAVE.
Sah Francisco Youth Frightened From
the Outset.
an Francisco, March 31 Light
weight champion Ad Wolgast made
short work of Anton La Grave, a local
fighter, here tonight. Wolgast battered
his opponent about the ring, landing
wnenever and wherever he chose. La
Graves seconds threw un the snomre
aner about two minutes of fighting in
tne nrth round, as It was palpably an
parent that their charge would not last
the round out.
itound One Wolgast crouched low
and tupped his man lightly several
times. The champion drove a f-olld left
to the Jaw and they mixed at close
range, Wolgast landing a right and left
to the body and head. The champion
covered up cleverly .. .on landed almost
at will on his opponent's body and jaw.
l.u Grave uppeared verv nervous and
made no showing whatever.
Round Two The Cadillac boy rushed
the Butchertown Idol" from one end
of the ring-.to the other, planting olidf
lefts and rights to the body; in one
rush he drove La Grave almost through
the ropes with a left hook to the jaw.
and a moment later sent his man
prone with a similar punch In the same
place. When La Grave got on his feet
Wolgast waded in bombarding the now
practically defeated local with c variety
of blows.
Round Three La Grave came up
trembling like a leaf. Wolgast drove
his man against the ropes with a rain
of glows and all but sent him to the
floor. La Grave then found shelter in
welcome clinch. The respite was
short lived as the champion kept up a
ceaseless tatoo. La Grave went to his
corner wobbling.
Round Four Wolgast chased his op
ponent around the ring and sent him
to the floor thrice with left hooks to
the jaw. La Grave took the count on
each occasion. The spectators began to
yell "stop it, stop it." La Grave went
down for the fourth time but the round
ended saving him rrom certain defeat.
Round Five Wolgast went right af
ter his man and the latter closed in
hoping thereby to avoid the heavy pun
ishment being administered. Wolgast
drove In short, snappy rights and lefts
until La Grave's seconds tossed a tow
el into the ring.
Willie Meehan of San Francisco was
given the decision over "Hobo" Dough
erty, the protege and sparrjng partner
of champion Ad Wolgast at the end of
ten rounds of hurricane milling. The
match was a slugging affair from start
o finish and Meehan out-slugged the
easterner.
CHIEF CAMORRIST
ON WITNESS STAND
WHY "ERRICONE" FLED TO NEW
9
YORK.
A "Son of. Vesusvius" But Not a
: Murderer.
Viterbo, March 31. The chief of
Uie Camorra, "Knricone" Alfani testi
ried his defiance today. He described
how Abbattemeggio tried to black
mail him by a threat to make rev
elations against him. Erricone con-
ulted a lawyer, who said that if
he were accused, his acquittal would
be certain, but that If lie were ar
rested he would have to remain in
prison several years before his case
came to trial.
Therefore, the prisoner, said he de
cided to escape and went to New
York. He described ids arrest there
by Lieutenant Petrosino. The pris
oner said he was taken to France
and then extradited to Italy.
Erricone ridiculed the description of
tho Camorra given by Abbattemeg
gio calling it fantastic and childish.
He ended his testimony with a vigor
ous appeal to the Jury, saying the
Jurors must consider that the ac
cused men are the sons of Vesusius,
as good as God made them, ready to
have recourse to violence when pro
voked but Incapable of committing a
terrible murder like that of Cuocolo
and ills wife.
EMPIRE STATE
MADE
Justice O'Gorman Elected
United States Senator
SURPRISE BY MURPHY
The Insurgents Balked, Fi
nally Divided and All But
Ten Capitulated A Gen
eral Feeling of Relief at
End of the Long Contest.
Albany, March 31. Supreme Court
Justivc James Aloysius O'Gorman of
Now York city was elected United
States senator tonight by tho legisla
ture after the most protracted strug
gle over this position ever held in the
Empire state. On the final ballot, the
sixty-fourth, lie received 112 votes to
SO cast for Chauncey M. Depew,
whose term expired March 4 last.
At the. close of a day of almost con
tiuuous negotiations the insurgents
capitulated and Justice O'Gorman
was elected. A few minutes before
the ballot was cast Justice O'Gorman'B
resignation from the bench was filed
in the uffice of the secretary of state,
is u constitutional provision would
have prevented his election while
holding as justice of the supreme
court. Applause marked The end or
the long contest and the legislators
driven rrom the state capitol by Wed

tion adjourning unitl April 17. 4
Governor Dix tonight expressed
gratification at tho result. Charles
Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall.
who for weeks was striving to 'bring
about the election of Mr. Sheehan,
expressed himself as highly pleased
at the outcome.
Last night It was understood that a
senator was to be elected today from
a list of eleven submitted by the In
surgents. Early this morning Murphy
came to Albany and coincidental! re
ports spread that Justice O'Gorman
had been selected as the choice of the
democratic organization.
The insurgents, who had about
made up their minds to enter the
caucus upon the assurance that no
names would be submitted outside
their list of eleven, balked at this
hanged program. They failed to ap
pear at the morning caucus and a
postponement was had until 3 o'clock.
Meanwhile a committee represent
ing the regulars was urging with the
nsurgents who were in conference at
the home of their leader. Senator
Roosevelt, and finally fourteen of
them voted to put an end to the
truggle by accepting Justice O'Gor
man. One did not vote, and the other
eight were recorded against him.
bout 5 o'clock the caucus recon
vened. As the contingent of insur-
jents filed into the chamber a hurst
f applause greeted them.
"It's O'Gorman," some one yelled,
and then the din became deafening
and O'Gorman it was, when the first
ballot was concluded. The result
showed a total of 100 present. The
oting was apportioned this way:
James A. O'Gorman 63. William F.
Sheehan 2C, Isador Straus 5. D. Cady
Herrick 4, John D. Kernan 3, Alton
B. Parker 1, William Sulzer 1. The
vote ror O'Gorman was then made
unanimous.
Senator Roosevelt and Bird fol
lowed by other insurgents who had
not participated in the caucus filed
Into the chamber amid cheers and
Jeers.
Tam-Ma-Nee" sang out pome one
and half the members Joined in the
chorus, drowning the voice of tho
speaker. In vain he pounded the
desk with his gavei.
Members were hugging one another
with joy at this ending of the weary
struggle and they continued to howl
and sing and scream. ,
The house will please be In or
der," persisted the speaker.
"Yow! Yow!" screamed the as
semblage. "Tam-Ma-Nee." Tam-Ma-nee!"
It was some minutes before quiet
could be restored and the formal rat
ification of the caucus'sdecree began.
When the name of Senator Brackett,
the- minority leader, was called, he
arose and taunted the insurgents say
ing that after they had refused to
support one man, the choice of a
majority of the party, because of his
relations with Tammany's Hall "they
had finally joined in the election of
one who has been infinitely closer
and more potential in that organiza
tion than has Mr. Sheehan."

who kidnaped the two year old son
of A. T. Rogers Jr., a prominent at
torney of this city to compel the pay
ment of a $12,000 ransom are tonight
closely pursued by a posse. There is
a prospect of a conflict before morn
ing. ,
Bloodhounds being used in the
chase have been kept closely on the
trail. A telephone message from Bell
ranch, sixty miles northeast, said to
night that four men believed to be
the bandits, passed near the ranch
riding at full gallop in a desperate
effort to elude the posse.
The cowboys of the Bell ranch upon
learning of the kidnaping immediately
organized a posse and started trail
ing the fugitives. They sent back
word that they had nooses primed
for a lynching in case the kidnapers
were captured. The kidnapers from-
the description are believed to be
members of a desperate gang of post
office and bank robbers . all ex-
convicts, who will sell their lives
dearly. A reward of $20,000 has been
offered for the capture of the kid
napers, dead or alive.

HE STOLE GOLD
FROM ARIZONA MINE
Accidental Discovery of Theft From
the Gold Road
San- Francisco, Mar. 31. William
Kellogg, an assayer, recently em
ployed by the Gold Road Mining, com
pany, operating near Kingman. Ari
zona, was arrested today, and ac
cording to the police, admitted that
he had taken $3,555 worth of gold
precipitates from the company's
cyanide plant. The finding of the
gold in the shop of A. Gracier, a
San Francisco dealer in precious
metals, by detectives, led to Kel
loggs arrest.
The detectives entered Grader's
place in search of gold stolen from
the steamer Humboldt last August,'
for which theft a number of men are
now held on suspicion in San Fran
cisco. Suspecting that the gold pre
cipitate had, been stolen, the detec
tives obtained a description of Kel
logg, later arresting him at a down
town street intersection. He at first
denied the theft, but in response to
prolonged questioning said he had
taken the gold and come to San
Francisco, after fifteen years service
with the Gold Road company.

TO BE MODEL FOR. WORLD
Will Be in Shape to Be Pre

cial Session Denial That
England's Japanese Rela
tions Interfere.
Washington. D. C. March 3L
James Bryce, British ambassador, held'
a conference today with Secretary.
Knox regarding the proposed arbitra
tion treaty between United States
and Great Britain. The negotiations
are still in the tentative stage. It is
said that no hitch has yet been, en
countered and that reasonable pro
gress is being made.
This treaty, the forerunner of Its
kind will be presented to the world
as a model for lessening strire among
nations. There is no reason for
haste it was pointed out. and because'
of the mammoth task which its im-'
portance involves, the negotiations with
proceed with deliberation. The ad
ministration will endeavor to have It
completed in form Tor presentation to
the senate before the adjournment of
the approaching session of congress.
As far as negotiations have pro
ceeded it has developed that while
the treaty' will provide for the arbi
tration of practically all disputes that
may arise between the two countries
including matters relating to questions
01 nonor, it uoes not provide the
machinery for the arbitration of each
specific controversy. That will be
arrangedby special agreements under
the general treaty In each Instance.
It can be said on authority that
the question of an alliance betwpn
Great Britain and Japan, causing .an
obstacle to the successful conclusion
of the treaty, has never been men
tioned in the conference between
Messrs. Knox and Bryce. Reports
that this alliance had halted the ne
gotiations were denied today.
