MEXICO.
A Fight With Indians.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 9.-A fight took place between a body of Indians num- bering forty-fve and twenty-seven engineers of the Mexican Central railroad in Chihuahua. The engineers were encamped along the line of the road and were occupied in surveying that branch of the Central road when they were surprised by the Indians who commenc- ed firing on them. The engineers immedi- ately rallied in a central point and massed, when brave resistance on the part of the engineers took place. The fight lasted all day until night set in, when the Indians ceas- ed firing. The Indians loss is unknown. Two of the Central engineers were killed. Their names are unknown. During the night the rest of the engineers, numbering twenty five, retreated and reached the city of ChiIz mahua, when upon the authorities being in- formed of the attack government troops were ordered to the scene to protect the engineers in their work.
 Trouble is threatened between Mexico and Guatemala, the difficulty originating in the question of the boundary line. The Mexican government charges evasion on the part of the Guatemala authorities and 8 desire to procrastinate. The Mexican Congress will consider the. question if no agreement is reached by the commission. The report that the Guatemala minister contemplates resign ing is officially denied.

Elder Duck Farms.

CIcelandic Correspondence New York Heraid1
 This peculiar industry, which is one of the sources of Icelands wealth. IS about the only thing that is protected, and the worst of crimes that can be committed is to discharge firearms within hearing distance of the farms. By long and rigid enforcement of the ordinance it would to-day be no more out rageous for New Yorker to go to the opera in his shirt sleeves than for an Icelander to shoot within hearing of the duck. In con- sequence the farms are maintained, and year by year the ducks seek out the island where they are protected against their natural ene- mics and furnished with abundance of food. The owners of most of these duck farms are engaged in fishing, and all the refuse ot the codfish dressed on the islands is thrown out on the water for the ducks to eat. Some of the farmers have lately retired from the cod fishing which in the vicinity of Reykjaylk IS no longer good but still the ducks come and build their nests, but not in such great num-
