ST. LOUIS, July ia special dispatch
from Matamoras. Mexico, says: "A prl-
vate express from Solencino Ranch
which reached here to-day, stated that
Adolofo Gonzales and Tappias, the revo-
lutforarv chiefs. with sixty men. learning
that Colonel Praeiedis Caves had but
twenty Ave men with him at Encienciada,
had left to give him battle.
Last evening it was reported
that they had met the combined forces of
Colonel Cavaros and Hernandez, 125
strong, and had been signally defeated
with a heavy loss in killed and wounded.
Pedro DavilIa, Adolfo Gonzales and Tap
pias, with many of their followers, are
prisoners, and all the bandits with the rev.
olutionists are being killed as soon as
captured. There has been no
report as to the loss among
the troops. The revolutionists were neatly
trapped, as the reinforcement of Cavajos
by Hernandez with fifty men and another
force which had been sent south, but re-
called, was entirely unexpected by them
A part of the revolutionists have taken
refuge in an American cutoff above Santa
Maria, and Sheriff Briton, of Cameron
county, and his men, aided by the Next
can cavalry, have gone to rad it. 1t is
reported that the three revolutioniSts pre-
viously reported as captured and brought
into Matamoras last night will be shot

that certain word was used, and the mo-

food, and of all the condiments in use in
those days, salt was his favorite. One day

would have pulled his hair, but having
been married several years he had none.
He thought of his enchanted mill, and
/ bringing it out he commanded it to give
salt. 1t did so. 1t had been a long time
since it was in use. and it dawned upon
the Old skipper that he had forgotten the
magic word to end Its grinding. The

the salt passed from it in great volumes

ExTRApITIoN TREATIES.

That the United States Senate adjourned
without ratifying the new extraditior
treaty with Great Britain should not be
taken by those who fear they may be
caught IN its meshes as at all indicative Of
final action by this Government in the
matter. Dynamiters, embezzlers and de.
faulters need not congratulate themselves
Civilization is not failure. 1t would be,
If such reciprocation of favor in the pun
ishment of crime should fail. Since 1912
the American criminal could, by few
short steps, escape the grip of justice by
decamping to British territory. The of
lenses excepted were few and only of the
graver criminal order. 1t is proposed now
by both nations to include wider range
of crimes against society for which Of
Tenders may be extradited. It's probable
that the Senate had not time in which to
fully consider the "reachn of the treaty
as to semi-political offenses, as We NAV
term them, embraced in the new conven-
tion, and by which we mean attempts to
massacre by the use of explosives. 1t is
not at all likely that either country will
ever sgree to make political offenses extra
ditable, but they may covenant that the
dynamite theory of revolution is not OF
political character. 1t is assassination in
its ultimate, and nothing less.
We are to have an extradition treaty

WHAT we pointed out would be the le-
Ultimate result of the strike agitation is
coming to pass. If workingmen organize
to compel employers to adopt certain
policy or accept punishment, employers
may organize to compel employees to con-
form to certain regulations. There can be
no answer to the statement. The logic OF
the doctrine of coercion by strikes touches
both employer and employed alike. The
workingmen of the country are too intelli-
gent to suppose that employing interests
would fail to avail of organization in re-
sistance. That must have been foreseen
and expected. A movement against labor
unions is already seen at nearly every man
ufacturing center. The mill-owners at
Augusta, Georgia, have organized against
trades-unions, and propose to make the
knights Of Labor raise strike at that
place by shutting down all the mills. A
shoe manufacturer at Lynn, Massachusetts,,
who employed seven hundred men, closed
his establishment, and refused to resume
work until his men agreed to leave the
unions to which they belonged. A pro-
tective association to resist the interior
ence of trades-unions has been formed by
the New England textile manufacturers
In other sections like action is being taken
Instead of broadening contention their pol
icy narrows it. 1t simply makes the
whole labor agitation take to the field Of
reason and debate, and abandon the arena
of coercion and force.

IRRIGATION,
State Engineer VIM. Ham. Hall Rises to
Exnlain,

State Engineer VIM. Ham. Hall Rises to
Explain.
The State Engineer, Mr.. Hall, has issued
| a second memorandum on the irrigation
question, in which he vigorously defends
himself from the charge made by the San
Francisco Chronicle that his plan for an
irrigation system would encourage water
monopoly. Mr. Hall refers to the fact that
his views expressed in memorandum No
were advanced as early as 1873, when there
was no issue of personality as to interests
in water rights as now. He calls attention
to the fact that the very paper now charg-
ing him with favoring water monopoly de-
voted column and half to an approving
review of the first volume of his report on
| irrigation, and which report covers the
| same ground taken in memorandum No. l.
The Engineer, by reference to published
reports from his office, replies to the charge
that he has not given publicity to similar
information as appears in engineering re-
ports in the colony of Victoria, on irriga-
tion He proves that the like infor
nation relating to California was much
fuller than in the Victorian reprints and
cover in elaborate detail all the research
thus far had concerning the flow of rivers,

| appeals to the legislators to say if it is true
as the Chronicle charges, that he has shown
| zeal in the interests OF prior appropriations
and insists that he has taken no part in
the present controversy further than TO
counsel moderation, and to answer ques
| tons and furnish information when asked.
He declares that he has had no time to de-
| bate the matter, and has not done SO, and
has taken no part in the issue, and that his
views now are as expressed in his official
reports of 1880 and 1881. These denialS
and defenses Mr.. Hall supplements by a
chapter on the Australian system, prefacing
| it by saying that he has reported against
general State construction, ownership and
management of works, and in favor OF State
ownership, control and regulation ofstreams
and waters; that he has never advocated
prior appropriation as permanent water
right system for the State, but has criticised
it as crude custom, which would have at
least to be hedged around with safeguards
in the final laws. But he says he has
spoken of the necessity for encouraging
individual enterprise in irrigation. and of
| allowing wide latitude in favor of irriga-
ton organization, and the necessity for FORM
ing districts where circumstances admit

fred Deakin, Chief Secretary for Victoria,
in presenting an irrigation measure. Mr..
Deakin visited California and examined

GAGE AND GooDMAN-It speaks volumes
for the management of the Southern Pacific
Company that without accident or COM
plant it handled the enormous passenger
traffic during the Grand Army Encamp-
ment. The discipline maintained by this
great corporation, the careful attention be-
slowed upon every detail Of a vast and
complicated business, result in the best
character of service to the public. On the
cay of the great parade not less than $4,000
people were safely carried across the bay
and returned to their homes. Our Eastern
visitors were unstinted in their commenda-
tons of the management of the Pacific rail
road lines and of the unfailing courtesy
shown them by the employees. The gener-
alship that achieves glory in the big wars
that make ambition virtue by successfully
handling vast masses of men is not more
arduous or skillful than that displayed by
the executive head of the Southern Pacific
Company. The Hon. Stephen T Gage now
occupies that responsible position. To him
and his subordinates belong the credit

ANXIETY to defend is almost invariably
indicative of fear of conviction. The San
Francisco Examiner keeps the case of its
reporter, held for contempt of Court, in its
columns. Indeed, it declares daily that the
man has done no wrong, and that the
privileges of newspaper rise superior to
the order Of Court closing its doors upon
publicity of scandalous case The Erdn,-
iner protests too much. 1t is bad sign.
1t knows, as does every lawyer and citizen
possessing ordinary reasoning powers, that
its publication of proceedings in Court,
placed under the ban by the Court, was a
contempt, and that its refusal to disclose
the source of its information is an aggrava-
tion of the offense.

II is not often that the New York
Herald INDUCES in wisdom. Its editorials
are mainly written under whip and spur
so as to sail in the same breeze with news.
But now and then its writer's manage to
wedge in a bit of sound expression such as
this:
Bomb-throwing and incendiary demonstrations
are an inexcusable blunder, because they put
the end sought further off and make It harder
TO reach. Reform by lawful and orderly means
is always possible, for the bulk of our people
are only too glad TO make changes which will
improve the condition OF any aggrieYed class.
