What can be done with some swamp
lands by a man who knows how is il
Illustrated in the achievements Of B. f.
Clifford, whose land holdings are in Jas
to be the owner of the largest amount
of swamp land under cultivat ton in the
world. Mr.. Clifford bought 10000 acres
of swamp land from the state at little
more than a song, and he now has near
ly that number of tillable acres whose
fertility is the wonder of other farmers
Seyenty-five miles of broad ditches sup
plemented by several hundred miles Of
tiIe-piping drain the land and from it
Mr.. Clifford last year marketed over L.
600. 900 bushels of corn, 100000 bushels of
onions, and great quantities of other
vegetables and grains, harvesting in adj
dition, an abundance of hay for his
hundreds of horses. The crops raised
IN this enormous tract afforded suffi-
cient traffic to keep a small railroad
busy. and as Mr.. Clifford estimated he
could with profit build his own line, haul
his corn, stock, hay, vegetables, and
other products to the Chicago market,
he surveyed line from the centre of
the tract, and is now constructing a
freight line from the centre of his farm
north to point of junction with the In
diana, Illinois and Iowa line, which
gives him direct connection with Chi
cage.

FEAR Of AN AMBUSCAOE
The Mexican Troops Are Between
Two Bands of Indians.
IN THE YAQUI COUNTRY
Trying to K ep the Two Forces Apart,
American Prospectors Are Leav-
ing the District Not So
Many as Expected

Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Record from Austin. Texas. SAYS: A
dispatch was received here tonight
from Casa Grande, state Of Chihuahua.
Mexico, saying that one regiment of
Mexican cavalry had just left there and
started on its way to the upper waters
Of the Yaqui river, in the state of So
nora, and that it is the evident inten-
ton of these troops to enter the Yaqui
Indian country from the north and en-
deaVOr to drive the warning braves out
of their strongholds in the Sabuaripe
mountains, where they are rapidly
gathering in large force.
One body of rebellious Indians have
fortified themselves in the Racatete
mountains, between the Yaqui and Ma
tapo rivers, and an effort is to be made
to keep the two forces of warriors
apart 1t is known, however, that the
two divisions are in constant c0mmuni-
cation by means of couriers, and it is
feared the Indians are planning to
draw the Mexican soldiers into an am
buscade.
Two more parties of American pros
pectors have just arrived at Casa
Grande. They had rich placer mining
camp near the junction of the Pappi-
gochic and Detaphio rivers, which they.
dbdHduneu upon nearing tne reports Or
murder and terrible outrages committed
by rowing bands of Yaqui Indians at
points below them.
Captain Martin Ross an old Arizona
prospector, is a member of one of these
parties. Captain Ross also says there
are not as many prospectors along the
Yaqui river as is generally supposed.
Several thousand went into the new
country during the last two years. but
the majority of them were diSapDoint-
ed in their search for gold and got cut
as quickly as they could. He estimates
that there are not over 500 Americans
in the whole district.

New York, Aug. I'm response to
a call issued some time ago by the
Central Federated union, q delegates,
representing los labor organizations.
met tonight in Clarendon hall to con-
slider the advisability of forming a
permanent labor political party.
President Samuel Prince of the Cen
trail Federated union. acting under the
instruction of the body, called the
meeting to order. The credentials
committee declined to admit Edward
Friday, who had credentials from the

ground that he is a Tammany poiti-
clan and an inspector on the Third
avenue railway and not a bona fide
salesman.
William Martin, with credentials from

rejected on the ground that he had been
a candidate on the last republican
ticket.

egates claiming to represent central
bodies like the district assemblies Of
knights of Labor and the Central
Federated union.
Joseph Barondes of the tailors. lead
er of score of strikes, made a per-
sonal appeal for immediate organiza-
ton.
why should we longer wait" he
asked, ito have more jais filed and
more indignities heaped upon us l
tell you, the time to act is now. Tam
many Hall sent me to prison and the
capitalists sent that heroic leader. Eu-
gene V. Debs, to a prison cell for your
rights. But the. time to end it all is
here. and labor must strike. Now is
the time, New York is the place. Or

Barondes was loudly cheered The

An Important Light,

Washington, Aug. THE island of
Balabac, the scene of the brush with
the Moros, detailed in Admiral Wat
the island of PelaWan, which is the
most westerly of the Philippine islands,
and directly west of the island of Pa
nay. The light there, which was re-es-
ta ablished by Lieutenant Commander
Nazaro shows for % miles and is re-
garded as of considerable Importance to
navigation. being in direct line between
Singapore and the straits settlements
and the islands to the north. The island
is - miles long, and according to liz
formation in the possession of the de-
partment, has but a population of LOO.
These are described in Admiral Wat
sons dispatch as MOros, the name ap-
piled to the fierce natives of the Sulu
group. They are Mohammedans and
are regarded as the most war-like pee
pie in the Philippines The capital,
Balabac, has a population of POO. The
spanish government established a mill
tary post there in 1851 1t consists of
barracks, a hospital and an armed fort.
The Manila. the vessel described in the
dispatch, is a captured transport. Its
mission in that vicinity is unknown at
the navy department. 1t is evident
from the dispatch that the Manila has
left a landing force there to guard the
light and that the Charleston. which is
on it's way there, will see that the land
ing party receives such reinforCements
as may be deemed necessary.
