The War in Mexico
Promises to be Long.
Yaquis Indians Well Supplied
With Money and Arms.

Austin, Texas, Aug 6 "A special
dispatch received here today from
Terrezas. Chihuahua, Mexico, which
is located near the scene of the Yaqa
uprising, is to the effect that the
Indians are arranging for prolonged
war. The dispatch says
The Mexican government will
need long time and big force of
troops to queli the rebellion The
Yaquis are better prepared now than
ever before for a long and bloody
campaign They are ali we'll fixed
financially, nearly all Of them having
saved the two hundred dollars per
head which the Mexican government
paid them when the signed the treaty
of peace two years ago They have
been making money since tber, too,
and it is known that they have been
laying in big supply of arms and
ammunition for some time past 1t
has been common talk among the
American prospectors in the Yaqui
valley thas the Indians were prepar-
ing for another outbreak, but as the
braves had always shown friendly
spirit towards the Americans it was
thought they would not modest them
when they did go on the warpath
They are determined to recover ali
of their lost country, however, and
will kill everybody they find within
the limits of their old possessions I"
The dispatch also says that nrm.
ber of miners and ranchmen in and
near Cocori had been slain and their
property laid waste.

Washington. Aug. 6 6-The treasury
department today made requisition upon
the bureau of engraving and printing
for the printing Of ten million dollars
10 gold certificates 10 denominations Of
$40 each. The treasurer cow holds a
large uoissued supply Of certificates of
the larger denominations. 1t is the
evident intention of the treasury de-
partmeas TO be 10 position to issue
gold certificates freely for gold coin,
should the fall movement of currency
lead to a demand at the treasury for
gold certificates 10 exchange for gold
coio Il is to be ooted that while gold
coios can be freely had 10 denomina-
tons of 6ves and tens. the Law restricts
the issue of gold certificates to deoomi-
nations Of $40 or nultipies thereof 1t
is debatable question, therefore,
whether gold certificates will adequately
meet the demand for money of small
denominations.

manager of the road to make some
reduction in the rate. and the rate
was made 6 cents, which was salts
factory to the complainant and the
road was able to haul 200 bales o:
cotton that otherwise would have
been hauled on wagons
This Illustration accounts for the
small amount of cotton that has in
the past been shipped locally, and
shows why this tonnage has not been
larger for this class of freight We
took this same position in the reduc
tion we made several years ago in
the local rates on fertilizers, and that
was that the increased tonnage would
more than counterbalance the loss
from the reduction in the rate This
has been the fact and the increase in
the tonnage of fertilizers has far ex
ceeded our expectations. We be
lieve this will be the result in the
adjustment of the reduction in the
local rates on cotton.
While our cotton tariff gave a
rate of 9 cents for IL miles and
under, the railroad entering Augusta
had of their own motion made rate
of S cents per hundred for all die
tances under 10 miles
When the Southern Railway com.
pany came into possession of the
South Carolina and Georgia railroad
they at once advanced these rates
to 9 cents, which action has occasion,
ed much complaint to the board.
Any tariff increasing in the follow
ing ratio can never be satisfactory
For IL miles and over 9 cents
For 20 miles and over IL miles, 10
cents
For 80 miles and over 20 miles, Is
cents.
For 40 miles and over 80 miles. 20
cents.
Eor so miles and over 40 miles, %
cents.
We Cannot find any rates on cotton
made on this basis outside of the
State of South Carolina, but all
cotton tariffs increased in the manner
in which we have compiled our stan
dard tariff.
THE PRODUCTION OF COTTON.
Cotton is the principal staple crop
of our State and is what is called the
money crop of our farmers when
the present rate was issued the
market price of cotton had never
gone below 6 cents but once.
and then Cor a short time, but the
average price mad been over I cents.
for :he past three years the average
has been 5 cents 1t ia fact not to
be denied that the producer of
cotton realizes less revenue from it's
production than any one else who
handles the article, aud we have felt
that ali interests being considered
he should have as reasonable rates as
would give the railroad just COM
pensation Tor the service rendered.
We have been examining cosely the
earnings of the roads in this State
for the six months ending April 30
1899 We have not as yet received

business shows a net increase in

In adopting the standard cotton
ssrif we were aciuated aud controlled
by the following reasons
As you gentlemen are we'll aware,
for several years we have st our

the local rates on cotton. Tie board

unusual manner in which the cotton
tariff increased 10 charges for the

d p Duncan, Secretary.
The railroad commissioners at the
hearing a few days ago made the
following statement to the railroad
men in regard to the sa,if proposed :
WIEN THE PRESENT RATE
WAS ADOPTED.
AT the time this rate was Issued in
1886 The production of cotton 10 this
State had for several years gradually
increased until the yield reached
500 600 bales in this State, and
{. zoe, ,000 bales in the cotton States.
For the year 1898 the yield for this
State is l,0o3.0 900 bales. while the
yield for the cotto2 States has reach
ed tie enormous figures of II, $780,
96G bales. This will show an increase
in the cotton tonnage from ll2,500
tons in 1886 to 225. .675 tons in 1898
in this State
When we take into consideration
this enormous increase in tonnage
from cotton and then consider the
tonnage derived from the by-products
Of cotton. such as oil, meal. cotton
seed and hulis. the production Of
which wac but in its infancy IL years
sgo, but which now furnish a large
amount of tonnage to the roads, we
sse convinced that the cotton tariff
needed revision.
