Decision Is Not Reached on

ASHTNGTON, D. C, Nov. 27.
Thanksgiving day was spent
by the senate Democrats bard
at work In conference on tbe adminis
tration bill, with geared up legislative
machinery moving at a rapid rate. Tbe
conference -made such" progress that
the currency leaders declared the bill,
with possibly one section excepted,
would be ready for consideration by
the Ecnate when the conference fin
ished Its evening session.
Regional Not Decided.
In the absence of senator Hitchcock.
no one presented the amendments he
and the five Republicans of the com
mittee had framed, and tbe conference
sped through section after section, en
dorsing the Owen-Glase bill practically
without change. Senator O'Gorman,
who aided senator Owen in presenting
the bill to the conference, predicted
that with the exception of the section
fixing the number of regional reserve
banks, the bill would be completed to
day. The number of banks has not been
decided on and was passed over at the
reauest of Georsria senators, who feared
that Atlanta might be handicapped if I
a regional bank were created: in some
other southern city, probably New Or
leans. Keeaa to Bat Turkey.
The conference accepted the Owen
provisions by which the new regional
banks would be capitalized by sub
Mibscription by national banks and
fey which the banks would be con
trcled by the member banks electing
six out of nine directors. About ne-
fourth of the blUjgjjjwnlg:

Three Feasible Deflections.
Senator Lane, of Oregon, has so far
declined to go into tbe conference, and
senator Newlands, while attending the
conference, has an original plan which
be intends to press on the floor of the
senate.
The deflection of three Democrats
might imperil the majority in the sen
ate if the Republican lines hold.
Demand Immediate Action.
Immediate action on currency legis
lation is demanded? said senator Sim
mons, "to relieve the uncertainty that
exists throughout the business world.
There has been a cessation of activity
in many lines of business because con
gress has not yet made clear its In
tention as to currency revision. "We
have determined to act at once and
without further delay than may be
nescessary for honest debate."

Drunken Man Is Last
To Bid Salvation Armij
Head Farewell at Pier
New York, Nov 27. General Brant
well Booth, head of the Salvation
Army, sailed yesterday for England
A drunken man was the last to shake
his hand. General Booth took the
trembling hand extended toward him.
'God bless you. brother." he said.
"Stop drinking and serve God."
Two thousand Salvation Army mem
bers escorted their commander to the
wharf. With general Booth sailed the
staff that accompanied him on this, his
first visit to America.
"I had a very pleasant meeting with

I hope to see him in England next sum

probably never actually consolidate,

Woman's Charity Quickly Aids.
Upon learning of the urgent need In
Juarez of surgical supplies, utensils

services of its trained workers and
sought to enlist nurses for the volun

Learning from the physicians just what
things are most imperatively needed,
the Woman's Charity at once arranged
to send over the necessary things, and
will rely upon the charitably and hu

reimburse the Charity for the extra

BY VILLA'S F
XJASHINGTON, D. G, Nov.,27. Pancho Villa will be more latgely responsible for the recognition of the
"Constitutionalists1' by the United States, than any other man, if this recognition is given to the rebels. It seems
possible now that this will be forthcoming " ' ' I .'
It is suggested that onev import of the rebel victory by Villa at Juarez would be to 'bring into greater prominence the
question of recognition by the United States of Venustiano Carranza's "Constitutionalists" as the de facto gbvernment
of northern Mexico. Now that Carranza can claim that his party is in practical physical possession of all of the northern
states of Mexico, it is said he will comply with the further requirements of international law by setting up a permanent
capital at Hermosillo or Magdalena and completing the organization of his provisional government.
This question is said to have been discussed by Dr. William Bayard Hale in his recent conferences with Carranza
and Senor Escudero. It was then rather hypothetical, as the .federals were in great force in the state of Chihuahua.

EXICO CITY. Mex Nov. 27.
Over 50 rebels were killed yes
terday in battles between a
body of federal troops under CoL Agui
lar and 400 rebels In Tlaxcala, accord
ing to advices received at the war of
fice. The rebels had committed depre
dations recently. For over an hour
they resisted the attack, but were fin
ally driven in the direction of San
Andres Ctfamilpa,,where they -made a
second'stand.
After another stubborn fight, the
rebels fell back on the town of San
Diego and , dispersed only when their
ammunition was exhausted.
Fiftythree bodies of rebel soldiers
are said to have been found on the bat
tle fields, while the federal loss is re
ported as having been insignificant.
Federals- Are Ambushed.
A column of federal troops com
manded by Gen. Rubio Kavarrete was
ambushed yesterday by a strong body
of rebels near Santa Cruz, while mov
ing from Monterey toward Cuidad Vic
toria. The federals were caught in a
ravine by the rebels, who poured in a
heavy rifle fire from the hillside.
The rebel troops were eventually
driven off. leaving some 70 dead ori the
field The federal commander admitted
that 20 of his men were killed.
, Rebels Sack Town In Puebla.
j Another rebel force sacked the town
'of-San Dlonoso, in the state of Puebla.
They did not even spare the church
which .they looted after killing the
bacrlstan. Such a thing is unusual,
churches and priests generally being
respected by the raiders.

be fired, the floating flame would be carried into the heart of the city, destroy
all shipping and probably a fin .portion of -the town. They threaten to do this
unless the gunboat is removed.
That-the rebels will carry out their threats is regarded by some of the
officials here as by no means improbable, although foreigners owning' property
in the neighborhood of Tampico are depending upoa the promises of the rebels
not to molest the wells or tanks.

"Washington, D. C, Nov. 27.r-;WMle rear admiral Fletcher has obtained formal
pledges from the "Constitutionalist" general Agnilar that there shall be no inter

the American naval commanders, they are expected to act on their own discretion
in protecting the properties.
The real danger, if any existed, would lie in interference with the pipe lines
running 25 miles into the interior, from Tampico. Naval officers estimate that it
would require a small army to protect the wells and pipe lines. The lifting
of a cap from one of the gushers and the ignition of the rushing streams of oil
