The Uprising in Mexico.

NoGALEs, Ariz., Aug. 15.-After the
Yaqui Indians were run out of town
yesterday morning by the citizens and
officers the Mexican police and a COM
pany of men pursued them. They over
took them five miles west of Nogales
when the Indians opened fire killing
the captain. They then fled into the
mountains, where they are burning
signal fires, which indicates that they
are still on the war path. Five hundred
Indians have joined the other flibusters
and expect to be victorious and then
to assume control of the government
themselves. The main object of the
raid was to secure the arms, ammuni-
ton and money in the custom-house,
when they intended to start for the City
of Mexico and overthrow the Diaz gov
eminent.

The Western Grain Traffic.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-It is asserted
that eastern roads are confronted with
the alternative oflosing the grain traffic
from the west, which heretofore went
to New York and other eastern sea
ports, or joining the western roads in
making such through rates as will pre-
vent the diversion of the business via
New Orleans, Galveston and other
southern ports. If New York roads
propose to maintain the prestige of
New York as the principal export
point they must make rate on grain
from Chicago to New York of not more
than ten cents.

The WEATHER.-The promised cool
weather has not yet arrived, and all
mankind continues to suffer from the
heat. The rays of the sun are almost
uncomfortable, and the shades of night
afford scarcely any relief. Between s
and 9 o'clock last night there was a
slight breeze which lasted for few
minutes and there were indications ofa
thunder storm, but soon the breeze
lulled, the lightning ceased, the distant
mutterings of thunder stilled and the
nigh temperature, which had been
slightly reduced. soon again resumed
full sway to the disappointment and re-
greet of all. To-day has been another
hot one, and the mercury at noon regis
tered 930.
This evening the sky became over
cast, with indications Of rain.

HE PoCKETED THE LETTER.
Captain Turner of Ihe Oyster Navy Re
fused to Recognize the Governot's
Authority to Convey state
Officials Across the Bay.

Governor Lowndes at the urgent re-
quest of the Talbot delegation wrote a
letter to Captain Turner, commander of
the State steamer McLane, requesting
him to convey party across the bay
to Claiborne to connect with tie Eas-
ton Shore Railroad at Easton.
The Governor said he did not know
what was customary in such cases and
he did not want to do anything he would
not be justified in doing. DR.. Barber,
Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Dodson, the Talbot
members of the House, stated that Mr..
Higgins was exceedingly anxious to get
home quickly on account of sickness in
his family and it would be an accOmm0-
datiOn to them all. They also told the
Governor that it would be all right If he
would give them an order. Governor
Lowndes then wrote 4 note which they
took with them. The McLane was
about to start for Chester river, where
it was reported illegal oystering was go
ing on. Captain Turner said if the gem
tlemen were going to any point on Ches-
ter river he would be glad to have them
on board. The order or request of the
Governor was disIegarded and the dele
gates were unable to make the short cut
across the bay. Capt. Turner's friends
say he considered be had no right to
take orders from anybody but his chief
Commander Howard. who was at
Cambridge.
Governor Lowndes sent for Comman-
der Howard this morning, but he was
still at his post in Cambridge. Mr..
Loker, the chief clerk of the State fish
cry force, saw. Governor Lowndes and
explained to him that il had been custO-
mary always to respect the request Of
any member of the board of public works
for the use of one of the State steamers,
and that the orders were always given
through the commander He also stated
that no request from any member of
the board had been made since the act
Of 1894 was passed. This act WAS intend
ed to prevent the use of the State fishery
steamers by private citizens.
The statement was made that Capt.
Turner pocketed the Governor 'sTequest
without reading it and that the Cover
nor was not at all pleased with this ex-
ercise of the pocket veto by captain in
the oyster navy.

Tie Vote Between Wellington and Colds
borough The Balloting Re-
newed To-Day.

At the Republican caucus, which WAS
held last night in the hall of the House

little change from that given in yester-
days CAPITAL Wellington and Colds
borough were the leading candidates
the former receiving twenty-nine votes
ON the first and second ballots, and the
latter twenty-five and twenty-seven, and
on the third ballot each received twenty
six votes.
After the second ballot a motion was
made TO adjourn amid some confusion,
when Senator Randall, of Anne Arun-
del, obtained the floor and said briefly,
and with emphasis:
"The republican party is here on trial
aud the eyes of the whole the State
are upon us TO watch our course and
cIiticise our actions. 1t has been the
boast of the democrats that the republic
can party did not know its own mind.
AS We have been moving for the past
week we may go on for weeks longer.
unless something is done and speedily
done, TO bring tue issue toa satisfactory
settlement
Senator Randall said he had saries
of resolutions which he desired to offer
and which he thought would be effective
in bringing an amicable and harmonious
nomination. After reading his resolu-
tion he commented at some length upon
them showing the fairness of their fea-
lures.
Senator Sloan, of Allegany. and Speak
er Mudd opposed their adoption, and on
motion of Speaker Mudd the resolutions
were laid on the table. And on motion
the caucus adjourned.
