emperor Nicholas is disappointed

OF an heir excites his superstitltious

Russian legend, according to which an
heiress czar is to be succeeded by q
Gar Michael, predestined to occupy
Constantinople. The death OF the

ference at The Hague led him to decide
to abdiaate, and on the occasion of his

the 5000 per head which the Mexican
government paid them when they
signed the treaty OF peace two years
ago. They have been making since
then, too, and it is known to be fact
that they have been laying in big sup
plies OF arms and ammunition for some
time past. 1t has been common talk
among the American prospectors in the
Yaqui vallsy that the Indians were pre-
pairing for another outbreak, but as the
braves had always shown a friendly
spirit toward the Americans, II was
thought they would not molest them
when they did 20 on the waIpath.
They are determined to recover all Of
their lost country, however. and will
kill everybody they find within the
limits Of their old possessions"
