YA0UIS ON THE WARPATH.
They Have Selected a Mexican Girl as Patron
Saint.

CHIHrAHrA. Mexico, Nov. 9.-The state
and general governments are very much
alarmed over the Indian troubles in the
western part of this state, in the Sierra
Madre mountains.
According TO the reports which have
reached here during the last few days the
Yaqui Indians have been greatly aroused by
the wholesale massacre of the neighboring
and friendly tribe at Lomachie by govern
ment troops.
The peaceable Yaquis in the valleys of
Sonora and Chihuahua are leaving their
farms and ranches, and with their wives
and children are gathering at an appointed
rendezvous in the mountains north of
Trinidad, where they have discovered an
other patron SAINT in the person of a beauti-
full Mexican girl named Anita Roca, whose
father is shepherd.
Saint Anita urges the Indian worshippers
to make war upon the Mexicans and to- re-
claim the rich Mexican lands in the faqui
Valley which the government has taken
from them There are several hundred In
dian braves and about 200 ignorant Mexi-
cans now preparing to begin their depreda-
tons.
They are nearly all well armed and ex-
pect to begin their campaign as soon as
winter sets in. The government Is active
in its preparations TO quell the outbreak as
soon as the rebels are drawn out of their
stronghold.
Gen. Manuel Rancl with 500 troops will
leave for the scene of the new trouble as
soon as the mountain roads are passable

SUITS AGAINST NEW ORLEANS.
Efforts Of Relatives Of lynched Italians to Re
cover Damages.

NV OKLEAss, Nov. 9.-The damage
suits filed in the United States circuit cour,
by the relatives aud friends of the ii Itai-
ians who were lynched in the Parish prison
on March 10, 1891 will be called for trial
in the next few days, papers material to
the conduct Of the plaintiffs case having
been received.
The actions were brought last March and
were not against citizens, but the city of
New Orleans was made defendant. In the
first stiit filed $1,000 damage was asked for
the killing of Antonio Marchesi (Griman-
do), and Antonio Viii. commissary of the
Italian government and superintendent of
the Orphan Asylum Di Santa Maria Degil
Angeli, Rome, appeared as plaintiff on be-
half of and as legal tutor Of Gaspare Grim
ando. minor son of the deceased. and an
inmate of the asylum. The city raised the
points that the plaintiff was without capac-
ty to sue or stand in judgment in the case !;
that he was not tutor of the minor, and was
without authority to represent him, and
finally that the boy was not the son and
heir of the deceased. Upon these grounds
the dismissal of the suit was prayed.
The commission was issued by the [ nited
States court for the taking of the testimony
in Italy of Antonio Vita. Gaspare Griman-
do, and Celanda Di Tavani. prefect of
Rome, The testimony was duly taken,
partly in Italian and partly in English, and
has reached the clerk of the court here.
The list of witnesses summoned is very
large, including all the officers and EN-
ployes of the Parish prison at the time of
the lynching, besides many of the citizens
who were supposed to have been inside the
building during the affair or outside on the
streets as spectators when Bagnetto and Pc
litZ were hanged.
Mr.. Mott. the Italian consul in the city,
has returned from Italy where he has spent
several weeks obtaining data to be used in
the prosecution of the eases. 1t is said that
that special jury will be called to try
these cases and that an attempt will be
made to obtain the panel of jurors from
another state, on the ground that predjudice
in this city will be too pronounced to war
rant the belief that an impartial trial can
be had.

HOW LINCOLN spllI RAILS.
Fences Still Remaining Which Mere Put Up
by the Martyr President.

CARTHAGE. H., Nov. 3.-Ibere are few
localities in Illinois that do not contain
some pioneer who remembers Abraham
Lincoln. At the home of Andrew Sim
mons, q well-to-do farmer residing near the
historic little island village of Fountain
Green. lying near the line of Hancock and
McDonongh counties, resides his aged
mother Mrs. Miranda Simmons. SIs> Is
one of the sturdy pioneers of the West.
She came to Illinois from Kentucky when
she was l5 years Of age. and settled with
her parents near Petersburg, when she
married. They afterwarl lived on the Al
fred Gordon farm near Petersburg, the
fences of which are to this day composed
of the identical rails cut by Abraham
Lincoln.
Mrs. Simmons gives an interesting ac-
cornl of Lincolns famous rail splitting.
While Lincoln was studing law at Pc

who was also studying. boarded at Alfred

ILLINOIS.
Not Breath Of Hope Cef.-The State Con
ceded to the Democrats.

Cni,AGo. Nov. 9.-Later returns do not
abate in any way from the decisive Demo-
cratic victory in Illinois, both on the ma
tionai and state tickets. Conservative men
of all parties now generally agree that the
Democratic plurality in the state is approx
imatelv 10 900, and the Democrats will
have at least Il; of - Congressman, with a
probability of one or two more in districts
still in doubt.
incomplete official returns from 30 of the
81 wards in the city of Chicago give Cleve-
land, &c ,oji; Harrison, iI,2S2.
Partial returns from the country towns
tow ms indicate that the vote of Cook coun-
try, outside the city of Chicago, is almost
stand off so that Clevelands plurality in
Chicago and Cook county, may be approxi-
mated at 10 900.
Six hundred and thirty-two OF the ap-
proximately 10 precincts outside of Cook
1922 ,2S+ This would make Clevelands net
plurality in the whole state approximately
IL, 900.
Milnight--The latest returns leave no
doubt that Jos. Cannon, Republican, is
elected to Congress in the 18th district by
about 800 plurality and George W. Fithian,
Democrat, in the 10th district by about
1000 plurality.
The official returns are not likely to show
any marked variation from these figures.
The vote on Altgeld Democratic candidate
for Governor will show an increase over
these figures, and the remainder of the
Democratic state ticket will receive the
same vote as Cleveland and Stevenson
electors. The Democrats have elected the
entire county ticket in Cook county.
In the state Senate the Democrats will
have about seven majority, and the indi-
cations are they will control the lower
House by about the same majority. al
though the returns from several doubtful
districts are still somewhat indefinite. No
senator will be elected by the next general
assembly, but the important advantage of
redistrictng the state for congressional,
legislative and judicial purposes, will fall
to the Democrats.

EnaIand Takes the Gilbert Islands.

W,suINeroS, Nov. 9.-The department
of state has received notice that the Gilbert
Islands. living in the Pacific ocean under
the equator, have been placed under the
protection cf Great Britain. The decree
announcing the protectorate was promnlga-
ted at Appamama May q last. About that
late Tebureimra. King of Butariari. one of
the Gilbert Islands, was in San Francisco,
from which place he addressed most ear
nest appeal to the department of state for
the projection OF his kingdom against Great
Rr;,ain and for the establishment of an
American protectorate over IT.
The action of Great Britain was in pur'
suauce of the well-deiined colonization sys-
tenn agreed upon by that nation and q r.
many looking to the division between then
of the unannexed island groups of Polyne'
ga. With the operation of this plan the
nited States has steadfastly declined tt
interfere. and the Kings petition for p:o
lection was dismissed with a negative reply

THE IRON MOUNTAIN SOLD.
A Biz Mining Deal Engineered BY c. p. Hunt
inston.

SAx Antonio, Texas, Nov. "A dis
patch has been received here from Duran
20, Mexico, stating that one of the largest
mining deals ever known in Mexico has
lust been consummated. 1t was the puf-
chase of the iron mountain near Durango,
anl the extensive steel and iron works in
that city. by Coils Z. Huntington, presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany.
What price was paid for these valuable
properties is not generally known, but II
will run up into millions of dollars. II is
believed that Mr.. Huntington already had
the bargain as good as made when he ex-
tended the Mexican International Railroad
to Durango. Mr.. Huntington will make
out of his new possessions the largest iron
works ON the American continent, controll-
ing not only the iron market of Mexico,
but of the entire South.
This iron mountain il The largest deposit
of iron known in the world. Th" orc -
