Tb.o democratic leaders did not ac complish this step until after the re publicans had taunted them about setting aside "calendar Monday," pro vided for by coalition of insurgent republicans and democrats last con gress and perpetuated by the present congress. No sooner had Representative Un derwood, majority floor leader, made a motion to recess Instead of ad journing until 11 o'clock Monday morning than Representative Dalsell, of the minority, made the point of order that such a motion would In terfere with the regular order and furthermore would displace the con sideration of the general service pen sion bill and other bill on the "dis charge calendar" for Monday. Cannon Butts In. "Would the genelman rob the coun try of the benefit of the discharge calendar wrung from an unwilling majority In a revolution so short a time ago?" inquired ex-Speaker Can non.

Today's rilspstch from Chihuahua reporting the movement of 1,000 Mexican fed eral troops toward Juares bears the date of April 25 and was detained four davs In transmission. Owing to the inadequate means of transmitting news In Mexico, due to disarranged telegraph service, interrupted train schedules and other mediums, relia ble news of the armistice probably did not resch Chihuahua until a later date than today's dispatch bears. It Is. therefore, not Improbable that a forward movement of federal troops, if made as indicated by today'a Chi huahua advices, ha been counter manded. In the event of the Mexican troops helnir started for Juares it Is unlike ly that they would be heard from for many days, as the march would take them through a trackless desert for many miles . It Is estimated the march from Chihuahua to Juarez would require at least nine days. SI ITRAGfnTB SAW KINO . CHRISTIANIA. Norway, April 29.
