Speak- | er Clark, for nearly twenty-two years & member of the house, made the speech of his life to forestall what he termed “unquestionable degradation of the nation.” In this he failed, but he did smooth over the party breach with kindly words for his adversaries, praise for President Wilson and an unquali- fied denial of any vaulting ambition on his own behalf. When he had riosed the debate for the opposition to | the repeal, with an impassioned argu- ment in which he often departed from his prepared speech, the speaker was triumphant in defeat, for the entire assemblage, in which were many sen- @tors. rose en masse to cheer him.

General Carranza said he regretted that he could not confirm the report, and other officials had the same reply The first report was that Marion Letcher, United States consul at Chi- huahua, had transmitted to W. J. Bry- an, secretary of state, a report from George Carothers, vice consul, who has been at the front with Villa as a rep- | resentative of the United States, that | Torreon was captured at 1.30 o'clock ! this afternoon.

A telegram from him to General Car- ranza, sent this morning and given out this afternoon, felicitated Carranza on his welcome to Juarez and said that Villa hoped to announce the surrender ' of Torreon in a few hours. Another telegram purporting to come from Vil- la said that he was meeting with des- | perate resistance in attempting to take the general barracks, the last position held by the federals, and was about to | dynamite buildings in the neighbor- hood so that he could bring his artil- | lery into play.

This information was given out through Roberto V. Pesquiera, confi- dential agent of the constitutionalists, and Alfredo Breceda, secretary to Car- ranza. They also traced to its origin the fallen. Excitement reached a high pitch when a rebel official exhibited to two Americans a telegram sent yester- day by Theodore Hamm, American | consul at Durango, to Secretary of State Bryan.

This law is the cause of the shutdown, because al- though it does not take effect until May 15, the operators refuse to renew contracts with the miners which expira tomorrow, until conditions resulting from the law become more settled These conditions are as follow: While the state law provides that Ohio operators shall pay their miners for all coal that they mine, competitive operators in Pennsylvania and Indian: through the recent renewal of con- tracts at Chlcago, will continue to pay their men only for coal that passed over a screen. Since the United Mine Worlkers are expected £o demand that the Ohio operators shall pay on the same basis per ton as under the old agreement, the operators have agreed that their only course is to suspend | business, as under such conditions they | could not hope to compete with Ind! ana and Pennsylvania miners.
