not the only misfortune Of the year; the
barley crop, which is really the oat crop
OF California. is blasted; and on the 18th
of April the farmers were cutting 1t In
the Sacramento valley, TO be fed in the

LAND WANTED IN MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, May There is
movement on foot against Mexico. The
objective point is Sonora, and the pur-
pose, from what can be gathered here.
seems 10 be TO annex this province to the
domain OF the Texas Pacific railroad,
and incidentally to Uncle Sam. The
movement is said to have wide ramiiica-
tons. The deposed President Lerdo,
who is living here in seclusion. Is silent
partner in it. The headquarters are
naturally in Philadelphia. New Orleans
is the basis of active operations. The in
terested parties here are trying to see
how much federation they can count on
from the national government they begin
active operations next autumn. They
propose, it is understood, to COLOMBO
THE STATE OF SONORA
with some thousands of Americans, and
TO set up an independent government
there. Then they will play the role OF
Texas over again, and endeayor to Sc
cure admission to the union as a federal
state. The Texas Pacific railroad at one
| point will run along the southern borders
OF Arizona, and almost touch the terri.

walls in Mexico opens the way for this

eminent should be estabishedfn Sonora

it will be furnished from this side Of the
border.
THE CAPTURE OF SONORA
Would inevitably carry with it the con-
troll OF lower California and the addition
OF the territory TO the American Union.
and will extend our territory two degrees
south on the Pacific coast. Ii is highly
attractive scheme. Sonora is the state II
which the Mexican national authority i!
naturally the weakest. The defender!
OF the scheme say that the Mexican au
thoritv is at an end, and that there cal
be no government there unless it is sus
tanned from this side of the line, and tina
the time has come to make another hug,
addition to our territory on the south
west. You will be likely to hear a goot
deal about this matter before the summe
Is out.
