Especial to The Jersey City News,
ELIZABETH, May %, 1S99.-Governor
VOORHEES, said yesterday that he had re-
ceived an invitation to the conference on
combinations and trusts, to be held on
Jun 26 to 30, at Chicago, by the Civic
Federation.
The Governor said he did not have an
opportunity to look the matter up, but he
doubted the advisability of such a confer
ence, as he did not believe that much good
would be accomplished by it.
.sThe matter" remarked the Governor,
could, in my opinion, be better handled
by the Congressional Committee on In
durtry. which would have full scope and
power to thoroughly cover the objects
aimed at by the proposed conference, and
the Judgment, carry more weight than
any action taken by the Civic Federation.
Still. l will do whatever lies in my power
to help along thep roposed movement, and
will send three delegates.

greatly roubled just at present over a
question that has lately arisen on the

other meets, but it has the power to
discipline riders under its control when
they infringe on the regular racing rules.
The L. A. w. riders who are entered are
worried about what will become of them
if they ride while there are N. c. A riders
in the race. They fear suspension by the
L. A. w. Nevertheless entries are pour

THE Yaqui Indians are arranging
for prolonged war, and it is going
to take the Mexican government a
long time and big force of troops to
quel1 the rebellion. The Yaquis are
better prepared now than ever before

too, and it is known to be fact that
they have been laying in big sup
plies of arms and ammunition fol
some time.
1t has been common talk among the
American prospectors in the Yaqu
valley that the Indians were prepar
ing for another outbreak, but as the
braves had always shown friendly
spirit toward the Americans it was
thought they would not modest them
when they did go on the warpath.
They are determined to recover all of
their lost country, however, and will
kill every body they find within the
limits of their old possessions
A number of miners and ranchmen
in and near Cocori have been slain
and their property laid waste.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 7.-Informa-
ton received here by private advices
is to the effect that the Mexican army
will ODeu ND active and continued
warfare on the Yaqui Indians to-day.
For week the Mexican soldiers al
ready in the Yaqui territory have
been engaging the Indians, until the
main body of men could be modified
In doing this, they have lost quite a
number of their soldiers, while the
Indians have lost comparatively few
warriors.

Walking Out of Printers and stereO-

NEW YORK, Aug. THE compost
tors and stereotypers of the New
York Sun, 12O in number, who went
on a strike Saturday night, were still
out last night. The press and
composing room were in darkness,
but the editorial rooms presented the
usual appearance. The Sun appeared
yesterday morning with only four
pages in its news section.
The strike, which was ordered ana
sanctioned by Typographical Union
No o, was ratified in Teutonia hall at
one of the largest meetings ever held
by the union.
The meeting unanimously passed a
resolution Offering the entire funds
of the union, amounting to $40, 900,
for the use of their striking brethren
in case of necessity
Officers of the Typographical union
received word early this morning that
the steamer Endeavor from Philadel-
phia was anchored off Sixty-fifth
street, Brooklyn, with about 100
printers, who would be landed to-day.
According to the union officials, half
the men on board were union print
ers, fully equipped to persuade the
others not to go to work.
The cause of the strike is the pro-
posed gradual mountaineering of the
Office in all its departments.
