When they are compared with the

comparison is in every way in their
favor. OF course | mean the lower
class working MeXicans.
The Yaki country is situated in the
Mexican territory of Sonora, and main
ly consists of fine bottom lands on the
Yaki river, which empties into the Gulf
of California, or that portion of it To-
eally known as the Gulf of Guaymas,

city of Sza.rmas.
For 20 or 80 miles the Yaki river is
uayigable above its mouth, and for cen
turtles it has been used by the indus
trious, peace-loving Indians for the
transportation of their produce. When
the Spaniards first met these people,
just prior to the Arizona march of the
valiant Coronado, they found them a
well advanced Indian race, inclined to
be peaceful, but stoutly resenting en-
croachments upon what they deemed
their rights. They did not submit to
whatever conditions the strangers
sought to impose upon them, as did the
Pimas and Maricopas of Arizona. They
showed love of home-the home of
their ancestors and their own choice

BLOW TO A TRUST.
Illinois supreme Court Renders 80
Important Decision Against the
Glucose Combine.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct 2O.--The supreme
court of Illinois, in an elaborate de-
cision handed down Thursday evening,
forbids the transfer of the American
Glucose company's plant at Peoria TO
the Glucose Sugar Refining company,
of New Jersey, and declares the trust
agreement entered into with the lat
ter corporation to be illegal. This is
believed to be the first decision by any
court rendered in a case in which the
legal questions involved in the modern
trust have been presented fully and
passed on.
The supreme court holds that the
facts presented show that the combina-
ton to regulate and fix the price of glu
cose and grape sugar and their prod
ucts and by-products was illegal, and
that the agreement not to manufacture
or sell within a certain territory, cock
tensive with the corn belt, was in re-
straint of trade.
The case was one begun by George F.
Harding. of this city, and the Chi
cago Real Estate & Loan company, of
which he is the president and owner,
and makes the American Glucose COM
pany the principal defendant. The
American Glucose company is one of
the six concerns which the trust alb
sorbed, and the purpose of the litiga-
ti0n is TO prevent the sale of the Ameri-
can Glucose company to the trust.
BY the terms of the decree the trust
will lose property, including an extern
sive plant at Peoria, for which it paid
over 50. 000, 900. and the stock and prop
erty will revert to the original owners,
of whom the complainant is one.
Besides pronouncing against the le-
gality of one of the most powerful trade
organizations formed in recent years,
the decision will make it dangerous TO
interests involved to form combinations
in the future which have for their pur-
pose the absorption of a sufficient num-
Der of concerns to control the output
of the product involved. 1t will also
place at the mercy of the law the many
combinations of capital and business
interests which have recently been
made, provided they are incorporated
under the statute of the state of Illinois.

the ken of the white race hopeless for
the Apache race from the start, so will
the former case be futile.
The destiny of the laki is written.
The more powerful race demands his
land. He may resist, but the ultimate
outcome no one for a moment ques-
tons And this is the whole quarrel.
There may be incidental irritating
causes. but the deep-rooted. ineradic-
able difficulty is the old trouble between
Possessor and coveter: You have, |

weaker must go to the wall.
In singular sense, however. the
quarrel is narrowed down to much sim
pier limits. There is a somewhat encr-
getic sonora Development Company
that has undertaken the task of render
ing the Iaki country fit home for
colonists. Irrigation works on large
scale have been commenced, fine stock,

similar undertakings have been begun

the head of this whole business is eX-

he is the commanding general of the
Mexican forces of Sonora, and thus re-
quired to put "A stop TO the rebellion Of

With Americans to prospect for the

mined refusal to get out of the way and
let MeXicans and Americans possess
themselves of their fields and ranges,
their springs, watercourses, mines and
forests, stands in the way of his sue
cess. 1t does seem hard that after he
has done so much, and persuaded so
many Americans to go into the land,
he should be baked when the prize
is so nearly in sight. And il is only hui
man nature to assume that this disap-
pointment will be a wonderful factor in
the fight. 1t will settle many ques-
ton AS to the disposal of wounded and
captured Hakis, and dictate many a
letter To the Mexican government when
more forces are needed. You see, the
fight has narrowed itself down to Iaki
versus Torres, and it is now war of
determination for possession. Torres
is fighter and the Iakis are home-lov-
ing and determined, and just as the
American cOlOnists, peace-loving nom
combatants though they were, made
wonderful soldiers when they were
aroused, so are these Indians, as their
history for $50 years has demonstrated.

for the temporary adjustment of the

rotary Hay in his note of Thursday.
With that act the long expected modns

question went into effect. This result
has been brought about through the
direct negotiation of Secretary Hay
and Mr.. Tower, after several failures in
the past through commissioners and
ambassadors. The state department is
confident that it has conserved every
American interest in the arrangement,
without unjustly treating Canada.
