RIOTS EXPOSE "FAKE" WINES.
Champagne" Manufactured by False
Means Where Real Vintages Grew.
Paris, May 11. One effect of the
disturbances in the champagne dis
trict has been to throw light on the
methods of certain manufacturers cl
champagne. One manufacturer was
found to be selling at least ten brands
although all the land he possessed in
the Marne department was mat on
which his works were built. His
highest priced brand was supposed to
be from the vineyards of the Count
de Groseille. The champagne dealer
paid him a lump sum for the use of
his name and pays him a percentage
on every bottle sold and double rates
if the count himself obtains the or
der. Modern science does wonders in
the way of making champagne. It
takes very little wine at all, exhausts
its fermentation, adds a certain
amount of sugar, a certain quantity
of vinous yeast containing fermenti
ble germs, and poerating at a certain
temperature, at any time of the year,
it makes as fizzy a wine as any cham
pagne, and it requires only two
months to do what the old system did
in fourteen.
No one with a palate will say the
wine thus artificially prepared has
the flavor and bouquet and the body
that mark the genuine product, but
the eye is pleased with the gold foil
and the ear with the sudden pop of
the cork. . . ' 1
If the champagne workers succeed
in killing cheap champagne nothing
will be left but a few big houses,
manufacturing the true champagne in
the true way, and they will enjoy a
monopoly and will be able to sell
champagne at any price they like.
Concord Postoffice Will Be Postal

Washington, May 11. Postmaster-
General Hitchcock has designated 36

rushed so as to permit receiving de
posits on June 1st. .Mr. Hitchcock
is well pleased with the reports re
ceived from the offices that have been

INAUGURATION DATE
' WILL BE CHANGED.
Ratification by 62nd Congress Assured
National Election Date May Be
Changed, Also.
Washington, May 11. A change of
the date of the inauguration of the
President is assured of ratification
by ihe Sixty-Second Congress, and
it is riot improbable that similar ac
tion will be taken to change the date
of holding the national elections. This
assurance has been given by a two
thirds majority of both houses of Con
gress to Representative Henry, of
Texas, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Rules, who introduced re
cently a joint resolution providing
for the submission of this proposal
to the Legislatures of the States.
The proposed amendment of the
constitution of the United States
changes the date of inauguration from
March 4th, usually an inclement day
in Washington, to Thursday in April.
The date of holding national elections
would be changed from first Tuesday
in November to the first Tuesday in
April preceding the expiration of the
terms of the President and members
of Congress.
SENATE T
RUSH BILLS
SOLONS ARE ANXIOUS TO ADJOURN-TO
VOTE ON DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATORS
FREE LIST WILL FAIL
Washington, D. C, May 11 Anxious
for an early adjournment, Republi
can Senate leaders have begun to
plan to expedite business in the
Senate.
The way that hearings on the Ca
nadian reciprocity bill are being
rushed by the Finance Committee
shows that the leaders hope that a
report will be made on the bill late
next week, or possibly the week fol
lowing. Senator Penrose, chairman of the
committee, has expressed a desire
that the committee act as promptly
as possible.
There are indications that the reci
procity bill, if brought to a vote at
any time in the near future, will have
from ten to fifteen majority in the
Senate.
There is no disposition to prevent
a vote on the resolution passed by
the House providing for the direct
election of Senators. It is predicted
by. some of the Senate leaders that
an agreement would be reached for a
vote on the resolution early in June.
There is every indication that the
resolution will pass the House, but
there is a possibility that it will be
amended by the addition of Senator
Sutherland's amendment, which was
added' to the same resolution when
it came up in the regular session of
Congress and which led to its defeat
There seems to be little doubt as to
the fate, of the free list bill passed
by the House Monday, which came to
the Senate Monday and was refer
red to the Finance Committee. It is
expected that this bill will slumber
peacefully in the committee and that
way the possibility, of a prolonged de
bate in the Senate on the general
subject of tariff revision will be
averted. This, too, will save much
time, and enable adjournment to be
had early.

ADVANCE
ON CAPITOL
MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS TO
MARCH ON SEAT OF GOVERN
MENT WANT U. S. RECOGNITION
Juarez, May 11. Madero is prepar
ing to advance toward Mexico City,
the capital.
General Orozzo will command a
flying column to attack General Ra-
bag, who is advancing toward Luarez.
Dr. Gomez today begins a diploma-
tice campaign to obtain the recogni
tion of the belligerency of the rebels
Half of the captured Federals have
enlisted with Madero.
The custom house at 1 Paso has
been closed because the United
States has not recognized the belliger
ents.
The Red Cross is caring for the
wounded in El Paso. A total of 69
were killed and 18 wounded at the
Jaurez fight.
Federalist Defeated By Senora.
Douglas, Ariz., May 11. Senora
Talamantes most crushingly defeated
the Federals under Col. Chiapas, near
Moctezunm today. She offers $20,000
for the capture of Chiapas who perse
cuted her family.
Diaz Stands Firm.
Mexico City, May 11 Diaz an
nounces that the fall of Juarez will
not alter the determination of his ad
ministration to push the war to the
end. It i? now apparent that the con
test will be a long and bloody one
unless America intervenes.
Madero Will Defeat Rabag First.
Washington, May 11 Vasconcel-
Toers announced today that Madero
had not asked for the recognition of
the belligerency and would not until
Rabag is defeated.
El Paso, Texas, May ll.; The rebels
are today attacking Negales, Senora
and Dawn, and the Yaqui Indians are
aiding them.
Gen. Reyes Returns.
Mexico City, May 11. The return
of General Reyes is expected to bene
fit the government. The Mexican
Gunboat Juarez met General Reyes at
Havana. .
Revolutionary sentiments are fired
by Madero's victory. He is now con
sidered a factor to be dealt with.
Diaz now arms merchants as an ad
junct to his army.
Foreign diplomats have met to con
sider their countrymen's safety if
Mexico City is captured.
Washington, D. C, May 11. News
of the fall of Juarez came to officia'
Washington from various sources
from the" Secret Service agents of the
Department of Justice, who have been
watching the border, from the col
lector of customs at El Paso and from
the Signal Service men of the army.
The authorities here believe that
General Navarro's soldiers were more
than a match for a considerably larger
number of untrained and ill-organized
rebels. To their mind it was evident
that there had been a lack of infor
mation as to the real numerical
strength of the Madero force.
The news of Madero's victory will
spread rapidly throughout . Mexico,
and without doubt recruits will swarm
into his camp.
Logically, with heavy reinforce
ments, his next move would be a
march on the' capital itself, incident
illy stopping on the way to besiege
ind capture all of the "considerable
uties and towns in his path.
Question of Arms for Insurrectos.
There will be one formidable obsta
le to such a campaign, the difficulty
f arming and supplying with ammu
ition his augmented forces. He can
carcely obtain these supplies from
'exas, for the administration hold?
-i its decision that arms cannot be
srmitted to go to the rebels across
the line before recognition of the bel
ligerency of 'the Maderoists.
Madero Must Capture a Seaport.
And arms and ammunition cannot
otnerwise be . gcr o
army until he captures some seaport
and establishes safe lines of commu
nication with it. So this question of
recognition of his belligerency as
sumes the first degree of importance
Madero, and without doubt
through Senor Vasconcelos, the acting
head of the junta here, an effort may
be expected to secure such recogni
tion from the State Department.
Recognition Not Yet Probable.
Indications are that such a request
will not be granted, for the present at
least. There is this serious objection
to doing so; by that act the Diaz gov
ernment would be relieved of all pe
cuniary responsibility for any damage
inflicted upon Americans by the
rebel operations. The large American
business interests in Mexico which
have suffered severely by the insur
rection would raise a strong protest
against the adoption of course that
would prevent them from securing
reimbursement for their losses.
Another consideration is that it
would oblige the government to treat
the Diaz government precisely as it
does the rebels, in the matter of de
nying them the right to import arms
and munitions of war, and would sub
ject American goods entering Mexico
to seizure as contraband at the whim
of the rebels, without any recourse
