rO;tTY KILLED IN BATTLE.
Two Hour Engagement Also Results In
Scores Bs ig Injured New Congress
Is Organized as Last Hostile
Act Moves Into Castle.
Mexico City, Nov. 10. The comple
tion of the preliminary organization
of both branches of the new Mexican
congress is regarded here as putting
the final touch to President Hucrta's
dellance. Surprise was caused here
by the publication of dispatches from
Washington indicating that President
Wilson does not contemplate any ac
tive measures tending to support the
notification given by John Llnd, the
personal representative of President
Wilson, to General Huerta, warning
him against permitting the new con'
gross to convene.
President Huerta nnd his family plan
to change their residence from Liver
pool street, where thoy have been oc
cupying a houso since General HueVta
became president, to Chapultepec cas
tle, the official residence of the Mexi
can presidents. Slnco the late Presi
dent Madero vacated tho historic pal
ace it has been in the hands of tho
painters and decorators.
Huerta's proposed removal is said
by his friends to bp In lino with his
plans to move lntotho castle as soon
ns it was ready for occupancy, but
another report Is that he fears an
army revolt against him, led by mili
tary heads and backed by General
Blanquet, tho mlulster of war.
It is stated that Blanquet, who is
known to have had a quarrel with
Huerta and may be the next minister
to leave tho cabinet, contemplates a
coup, the principal aim of which Is the
nrrest of Huerta and , an uprising
against him by army forces, who are
disgruntled because of the slow pay
ment of their salaries.
In tho event of a revolt Huerta, It is
said, believes ho would bo safer in
Chapultepec pastle with a guard of
chosen troops than in his residence on
Liverpool street.
Another alleged cause for alarm to
Huerta Is the statement that since the
departure of ex-Cabinet Minister Al
dape for France It has become known
there was a plot to poison the dictator.
Aldape gave the alleged details of the
conspiracy once he was safe aboard
ship and declared Senor Moheno was
nt tho head of It.

eral volunteers were in flight toward

Full details of tho battle have not
been telegraphed to the rebel com
mander in Juarez. Villa says that
moro than a thousand men took part
in the fight, which began about noon
Monday and lasted until 2 o'clock. It
Is believed that the volunteers were of
General Joso Salazar's command. They
nre said to havo numbered about 400
and wero coming north by train on a
scouting expedition. Constitutionalist
cavalry under General Rosalio Her
nandez was encamped at Laguna and

Into which tho cavalrymen poured a
rain of bullets. Tho volunteers de
trained and returned the fire, holding
their ground for about two hours.

BIOT AT LADYSMTH.
TOTAL INCOME $80,000,000
Result Seems to Justify Railroads'
Contention That More Should Be
Paid Them For Carrying Mail New
Bill Will Settle It Readjustment of
Pay Every Four Years Hitherto.
It has Just become known in Wash
ington that tho profits to the govern
ment from the operation of tho new
parcel post system during the calen
dar year 1013 will bo about $30,000,000.
The ne system became effective on
Jan 1 last. It waB estimated that the
profits for tho first year would be
about $15,000,000, but the actual fig
ures now ln possession of postal offi
cials convince them that the profit,
Instead of being $15,000,000, will be
$30,000,000 for tho first year.
This will bo interesting news to rail
way officials, who have been contend
ing that their roads were entitled to
extra remuneration for carrying tho
malls on account of tho operntion of
the parcel post. It was learned also
from n reliable quarter that, even as
suming that tho contention of the rail
roads was correct, there still would
havo been a good margin of profit at
tho end of tho calendar year 1013 after
the payment of extra remuneration to
the roads. .
Gross Revenue $80,000,000.
If a parcel post adjustment were
made along the lines suggested by
some of tho railroads, probably not
more than $10,000,000 of this $30,000,
000 would be due to the railroads as
extra pay. Tho total income from the
parcel pos.t for 1013 will bo around
?S0,000,OO0.
Tho whole question of rallwny mall
pay that is, compensation to the rail
roads for carrying the malls is likely
to bo readjusted next year. Immedi
ately after tho meeting of congress in
regular session Lu December a bill
will bo Introduced providing for this
readjustment Tho measure is now be
ing drafted. It will seek to establish
an entirely now method of paying tho
railroads for carrying tho mails and
do away with the present archaic
method of computing tho payment to
roads.
For some time members of the
house postofflco committee havo been
considering the question of providing
n new method of paying for mall
transportation. They havo been con
sulted in connection with the prepani'
tlon of tho new bill, as havo also tho
officials of tho postoffico department
most intimately identified with mail
transportation. Tho hill will be an
administration measure.
Pay Readjusted Quadrennially.
Pay for carrying tho malls is read
justed only onco every four years.
i' or purposes or tno computation ltno
country Is divided into four grand sub.
divisions, in each of which tho mall is
weighed once every four years. This
is accomplished in such n wny that
tho weighing Is done in ono district
this iyear, In tho second district next
year, tho third district the next year
and tho fourth district tho following
year.
The mall is weighed for thirty days.
and upon this basis a computation is
mado for an .entire year, showing tho
average monthly amount of mail car
ried. When onco made, this computa
tion continues for a single road for
our years, and payment is mado ac-
ordlngly.
The bill now being prepared will
propose a new method of fixing the ba
sis of payment. It will proposo a rad
leal change in the whole system of
railway mall pay and a readjustment
that is expected to bo fnlrer to both
tho government and tho railroads. The
new railway pay bill also will take
Into consideration tho paying of tho
railroads for carrying tho parcel post
matter and will seek to meet the com
plaints that havo been filed by differ
ent roads, several of which were will
ing to throw up their railway mail
contracts rather than carry the parcel
post without additional pay.
