PHGNIx "a. IT,, May 23.-A telegram
from Hermosillo, Mexico, says an en-
gagement took place between Govern
ment troops under Lieutenant Colonel
Zapata and band of Yaqui Indians near
Los Pilres, on the Rio Yaqui, on the 18th
inst, but the accounts were suppressed
by the officials, who adopted a censorship
over the telegraph lines. An official re-
port just received says a number of
1aquis were killed and the remainder
dispersed, and that owing to the mount
ainous condition of the country the mill
tary were unable to follow. Unofficial
reports brought in by American mining
men state that seven Mexican privates
and two officers, including the command
ing officer, were wounded. This is the first
engagement since the late pronounce
ments of determination, and both parties
are preparing for a vigorous and lengthy
conflict. There are between &c, ,000 and
$4,000 1aquis in the State of Sonora, the
greater portion of whom have assumed
an aggressive attitude. They are poorly
armed, however, and as rule refuse
open battle, preterring ambuscades and
guerrilla warfare.

The Sacramento WEEKLY UNION turns
its lortieth anniversary with port erect
and with no outward sign of its long
years of service. What an age for a
newspaper; what stories it's columns
have told, of success, of failures, of wars,
famine and pestilence. of sunshine and
storm. of life and of death. The writer
can remember we'll when the regular
rates for single copies was 81, and it was
nearly twenty years before the price fell
below twenty-five cents. Then was a
time when not miners cabin in the
Sierras but had its weekly copy of the
UNION. The UNION was always clean
paper, and allows no fooiishness or scan
dial in its columns. When brought into
the family circle and read it leaves no black
scar on the minds of young or old to
mark its course. The Record can wish
this old standby no better luck than that
it will meet with the same success in
future years that it has met with in the
past.

LONDON, May 23.-The London branch
of the Imperial Federation League held
meeting to-day, at which several pro-
lection speeches were made. Sir Charles
Upper, Canadian High Commissioner,
said if England adopted small pro-
tective tax not discriminating in the
tariff no country would complain. Cob
denis theory that all countries would
speedily follow England's example in
adopting free trade had proven falIacious.
In concluding he said Canada could pro-
duce all of the food the United States now
exports TO Great Britain.
Another speaker, Mr.. Beckett, said
Lord Salisbury struck the right note in
declaring free trade had gone too far.
IL advocated plan to appease Canada

speech that the present prospect of the

involved is gradually becoming so ap-
parent to the congressman that ultimate
success is certain, and if the bill should,
from any cause, fail to pass this session,
Its success at the next may be regarded
