THE YAQUI REBELLION.

i, 1t is evident from the vigorous
measures taken to quell the Yaqui
uprising that the Mexican government
fully appreciates the difficulty Of the
task. The Yaqui is the only native
tribe within the territory of our sister
republic which has never been con-
quere6. Although defeated many
times in battle and their ranks deci-
mated, owing to the superior numbers
and equipment of the Mexican sol
diery, yet they were never known to
make overtures for peace, and when
ever the cessation of hostilities has
been agreed upon the proposal came
from the Mexicans.
1t was hoped that by the signing Of
the treaty of peace at Ortiz, two years
ago, permanent peace had been estab
lished, and doubtless such would have
been the case had the Mexican govern
ment kept faith with the Indians.
The reports of rich discoveries of gold
in the Yaqui valley caused an thrush
of prospectors, which was encouraged
by the government and concessions
with the domain ceded to the Yaqui
by the treaty, were granted to Ameri-
cans and others.
The Yaqui tribe, which at the time
of Cortez' expedition numbered $780,
900, is now estimated at little more
than fifteen thousand of whom five
thousand are able. bodied males. Yet
the government will find even this
small number formidable to cope with
as they are physically mush superior
to the M"xicans and the topography
of the country occnbied by the Yaquis
and their superior knowledge Of it's
retreats and stnonG holds is greatly to
their advantage. They are laid to be
better armed shan t'e troops being
equipped with Winchester rifles,
whereas the Mexican arm is the Rem
lngton. Tie government now has
about 1900 men in the field and the
campaign will be relentlessly pursued.
Shoald the uprising become general,
which now seems probable, the Yaquis
will be aole to make stout resistance,
snd will not be easily subdued.--Sll-
yer Belt.

TWO NOBLE NURSES.
Thanks OF Congress Recommended
for Miss CHAMBER and Miss BOuIigny.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11-Margaret Iiv-
ingston Chanler and Anna Bouligny, heroic
women who served without pay as nurses in
Porto Rico during the war. have been
recommended for that rare honor the
thanks of Congress. They landed in Ponce
July 81 and the same day began nursing
American and Spanish sick. Miss Chanler
from her own purse hired a house and es-
tablished a hospital for American officers,
and as the number of sick grew, hired an-
other and another until she had three hos
pitfalls in operation at her own expense. In
September she turned these hospitals over
to the government trained nurses, hayinS,
first provided for their rental and sundry
expenses. The two brave women went to
CoamO nursing the sick there and later to
San Juan, and as soon San Juan was
under the American flag started a hospital
there.

NO WORD FROM OTIS.
The FilipinO-American Commission
Approved at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. lit was said at
the War Department to-day that abso-
lutely nothing had been heard from General
Otis at Manila touching the state of affairs
there. When inquiry was made relative to
a report that there had been a meeting yes
terday near Manila of a commission Sc
lected jointly by General Otis and Aguin-
aldo it was pointed out that under the large
discretionary authority conferred on him by
the department, and, in conformity with the
Presidents express instructions, to exhaust
all peaceful means of adjusting the diff
Guilty with the insurgents, General Otis had
full authority to adopt such a course with
out. asking express permission from the de-
partment. His course is thoroughly approved
by the President up to this point. 4 rather
interesting question is raised by the meet
ing or this commission as to whether II does
or does not constitute a recognition of the
insurgents, but the general opinion is that it
does not, the matter being one of purely in
ternal concern, with which no foreign ma
ton has right to interfere. Meanwhile
the meeting Of the commission has served at
least to avert the crisis which seemed i'm
pending in the Philippines. and there is now
fair ground for the supposition that the
status quo will be maintained, at least until
the ratification of the pending peace treaty.

LOVERS SOLVE A PROBLEM.
Young Man Takes His AGinnced's
Name to Save Her Fortune.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. u.-Joseph II. Dillon, a
member of tie Sullivan Contracting Com
rany, filed a petition in the Circuit Court
asking that his name be changed to Joseph
H. Dillon-Gregg. He said ne was engaged
to marry Miss Mary Gregg, to whom her
uncle, Daniel Hopkins Gregg, who died re-
Gently, bequeathed the greater part of his
$4,000 estate on condition that she retain the
name of Gregg through life. The intention
of the decedent, it is supposed, was that his
niece should remain single all the days of
her life The young woman, of course,
wanted the money, but she was equally de-
sirous of securing Joseph H. Dillon for a
husband. The question was submitted to
lawyers. who advised the young man to APP
pend the name of Gregg to the cognomen
which he already possessed, and then when
she married her name still would be Gregg
and she could lawfully receive the money.
The petition was referred to Judge With
row, who promptly granted the young mans
request. Thus love found g. way out of a
very peculiar dilemma, and the marriage
will take place as agreed upon before Daniel
Hopkins Gregg imposed a condition calcu-
lated to prevent it.

MORRILL'S SUCCESSOR NAMED
JUDGE JONATHAN ROSS TO REPRE-
SENT VERMONT IN THE SENATE.
Matthew Stanley Quay Personally Di-
recting His Fight-AIIeged Bribery
in the Montana Contest.

HARTFORD. Conn, Jan. n.-Gen. Joseph
r. Hawley was this afternoon nominated by
the Republican caucus of the Connecticut
General Assembly as a candidate to succeed
himself as the junior United States senator
from Connecticut The victory which came
to the distinguished soldier and statesman
furnished the climax to one of the most bit
terly waged political contests ever fought
in the Nutmeg State. For weeks and months
there has been no cessation of strife for the
honor, which was rendered complicated by
the presence in the field as General Haw-
ley's competitors of two of the most prom
inent Republicans in the State, Samuel Fes-
sender, of Stamford, member of the Re-
publican national committee, and ex-Gov-
ernor Morgan c. Bulkely.
The final battle took place this afternoon,
when the Republicans of the House of Rep
resentatives and the State Senate met in
joint caucus in Representatives hall at 3
o'clock. The victory of General Hawley
was not secured until three full hours had
been consumed, and nearly all Of that time
was occupied in balloting. Technically or
officially, there were seven ballots, but prac-
tically nine ballots were taken. On the
third ballot it was discovered that a total
of 1879 ballots had been cast. At that time,
however, there were but 1877 members in the
caucus and the ballot was thrown out. A
new ballot was ordered with the same re-
suit and the third ballot was thus taken
three times before the difficulty was re-
moved. Senator Hawley was at all times
in the lead, but until the final ballot was
cast and counted his margin was too mar
row to permit of great confidence.
The first ballot found the senator just
two votes shorc. In other words, it required
but the change in one vote to give him the
nomination. The second ballot. however,
showed loss for Hawley of four and a cor
responding gain for his nearest competitor,
Mr.. Fessenden. On the third ballot Fessen-
den gained one and repeated it in the next
two, Senator Hawley meanwhile losing sew
en-. On the sixth ballot Mr.. Fessenden
dropped two, while General Hawley was
given seven of the votes whichN he had
lost, and on the next ballot he was carried
through with III votes, and few minutes
later the leader of the most formidable OPP
position moved to make it unanimous, and
General Hawley was declared the nominee
of the caucus amid cheers which became
deafening, as they were reinforced by the
throngs in the Capitol Hobbies, which had
patiently waited during the long balloting.
The first ballot resulted: Hawley, 9S: Fes-
sender, g.; Bulkely 81 Russell, 1. Seventh
ballot: Hawley, III; Fessenden, 60; Bulkely,
s; Russell, 4.
Mr.. Fessendens men gave three cheers
for General Hawley and then sent congrat-
ulations to the senator.
