INDIANS SUE FOR PEACE.
The Yaquis Are Tired of Fighting
the Mexican Army.

Denver. Colo, Nov. pa special to
the News from Ell Paso. Tex, says: Col
onel Juan Tenociiio, of the Mexican
army and lately with the force in the
field operating against the Yadui In
dians. in the state of Sonora, and Major
Z. PelaeZ, paymaster, reached here to-
day from Guaymas and left this af-
ternoon for Mexico City The two Off
GERS are entrusted to convey to Presi-
dent Diaz peace overtures made by the
Indians. but declined to divulge the
conditions on which the Yaquis had
agreed to lay down their arms and
once more recognize the authority OF
Mexico.
The peace proposition was sent to
Guayn1as by squaws for the reason that
the Indians allege that each time DEL
egation has been sent to General Tor
res camp under white flags with mes
sages the envcys have been shot down
without mercy.
The Indians believe that if this prop
osition is submitted<to President Diaz
and not TO those who profit by the war
of determination now being waged, it
will be accepted.

GREAT ARRAY OF TALENT.
Employed By Helen Gould to Fight
CONGRESSMAN Roberts.

New York, Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
method of procedure 10 be adopted by
| the house OF representatives in getting
F.; rid of Mr. Roberts, the polygamist rep
resentative- elect from Utah. is to be
considered at conference of Republic
an leaders to be held Friday in the
room of the committee of interstate
and foreign commerce.
This conference has been called by
Representative Hepburn of Iowa, who
has devoted considerable attention to
the case. Among those who will parti-
cipate will be Representative Payne of
New York. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
Grcsvenor and Taylor of Ohio. Mr.
Taylor was the chairman of the COM
mittee on elections in the last congress,
to which was referred all the petitions
and protests against the seating of
Mr.. Roberts received before the ad-
journment in March. AT the request
of Mr.. Henderson. he has been making
careful study of the case and of pre-
cedents. He is not willing to discuss it
in any way, however, at this stage of
the proceedings.
Former Speaker Carlisle and Mr..
Harry II. Smith. the parliamentary ex-
pert. two of the counsel retained to rep
resent the opposition to seating Mr.
isODertS, VIII present the result. OF their
Investigations as to precedents at Fri
days conference. Mr.. Smith has made
careful and exhaustive study of all
the precedents since the foundation of
the government. 1t has resulted in his
reaching the conclusion that Mr.. Rob-
erts must be sworn in on his certificate
of election, and that he can only be un-
seated by resolution. of expulsion un-
der the constitutional power of the
house to expel member by a two
thirds vote. Mr.. Smith has found that
there are in all sixty cases on record
in which attempts have been made TO
prevent the swearing in of representa-
tives-elect, and that the attempt had
failed in every case in which there
was not contest between rival claim
ants of the seat.
Mr.. Carlisle is expected in Washing
ton tomorrow. He will be accompanied
by President Strong and Secretary Toll
man of the League for Social Service,
which is the organization that has en-
gagged the counsel to present the case
against Mr.. Roberts. Miss Helen Gould
has supplied this league with the sin
ews of war which has enabled it to en-
ploy such an array of high priced
counsel as has been engaged. In addi-
