YAQUIS WOULD BE FREE
Indian Chiefs Seek to Make Sonora an
Independent Nation.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. ia proclama.
tion issued by the chiefs of the YaglI
Indian nation of Sanora, Mexico, reach
ed here today and indicates that the
revolt in Sonora seeks for its object
the making of Sonora an independent
nation. The proclamation was issued
from Babispe. 1t is addressed ito
American people," and is as follows:
The Yaqui nation has begun its
struggle for independence because it
is not natural that a superior race
should submit to an inferior. To a GER
tain extent the friendliness of the va
qui for the Americans has precipitat-
ed the present war, the inevitable re-
suit of which will be the independence
OF Sonora. In May, 1898, when the
Americans were fighting the Spaniards.
the United States 1900 soldiers fresh
from the battlefield, sweet with liber-

hatred for the United States, prevented
lHe SOlulelS IloLH heipius INC
United States, and ever since has heap
ed injury and indignity upon the va
quis. The Yaqui nation will no longer
tolerate the Mexican army in Sonora.
That army is composed of criminals.
Mexico, instead of imprisoning her con-
victs, places them in the army that is
meant to hold the Yaquis in subjec-
ton. Thus it is that Sonora is the
dumping ground for the criminals of
Mexico. The Yaqui nation has estab-
lished a provisional government, the
officers of which are at Babispe. The
Yaqui army headquarters are at Opos-
ura in winter and Potam in summer.
All Americans are welcome to enlist.
In the event of the success of the va
qui people over the robber Mexicans.
no foreigners except ~native-born Amer
leans will be allowed into Sonora for
ten years. The property and persons
of Americans in Sonora will be protect
ed by the Yaquis in every way. All
Americans are warmed against Next
cans, who commit murders ascribed to
Yaquis. The MeXicans killed W birds
with one stone by assassinating our
friends, the Americans, and retaining
us in the eyes of Americans. The Jun

Senator Morgan Reports on Nicaragua
Canal Bill.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nor
gan, as chairman of the Senate com
mittee on i~nter-oceanic canals has pre-.
sented a written report upon the Mic.
aragua canal bill. The following ex,
tracts from the report indicate its gen.
eral %purport:
I'VE have reached a point In the dis
cussion Of the question of a ship can
al through the isthmus Of Darien where
the necessity for the canal and its
advantages to our country is no long
er debated in Congress or among the
people. With this western connection
between the two great oceans there
will be established the shortest and
most direct line of navigation between
the seaports of every nation and those
of every other nation in the world in
passing from ocean to ocean. The shin
canal will open a line that is practi-
cally straight, around the earth and
along parallels of latitude within tenn
perate zones where the seas are COM
p%aratively quiet and are refreshed with
the ever-prevailing trade winds.
LAS a provision for the naval and
military defense of our country. wheth-
er insular or continental, this canal is
indispensable, and the closer its loca-
ton is made to our states on the Gulf
of Mexico the more efficient will be its
protection to our coasts on the Allan
tic and Pacific.
Pearl harbor in Hawaii, and the
harbor of San Juan in Puerto Rico, are
the true military defenses of the canal
against attack by European or Asiatic
powers and they give a more secure
protection to its eastern and western
outlets than in any fortress. however
strong, that can be located at or near

My rival it must be, to whom
She talked in tones so tender

Vain, now, for Kate to cry Pooh,

Our treasures slipping from us,
When coaxingly, caressingly,

THE METRIC 7

Congress will be fairly busy at the
nresent session with financial Iegisla-
tion and measures for the government
OF our new territories: but there ought
to be time to consider the bill to estab-
lish the metric standards for all gov
eminent work, and there will be II it
is properly pressed. The subject has
been we'll debated heretofore, the ad-
v~antages of the proposed change are
appreciated. and there is really very
little to be said. The nature of the op-
position to it is we'll understood. It's
strength lies chiefly in a stubborn con-
seryatism and the ld-fashioned feel
ing that anything foreign must be in
ferior to our own; while this is sup
ported in some quarters by an exag-
eerated idea of the difficulty and cost
of the change. Many of our most pro-
sressiye and enlightened manufacturers
are already prepared for it. and some,
who have entered extensively into for
eien trade, would welcome it as reliev-
inp then from the necessity of keep
ing double standards and double sets
of measures and weights. Even the
%pbi,adelphia manufacturers who have
been so bitterly opposed to the metric
system are beginning to see some light
and IN admit that something Is to be
said for the system.
The fact that our foreign trade is
extending so largely has much to do
with the appreciation of the fact that
tho Use OF the metric system is desira-
HE. and the opportunities of practical
familiarity with It which that trade
has afforded have been Of considerable
service in the same direction. In leg
islatins for our new possessions. it
must not be forgotten that Cuba and
Porto Rico already use metric meas
rres and It would be a great pity to
attempt to bring them backward to
our own absurd system.
The legislation desired is exceeding
" simple. As is well known. the use Of
tho metric system is already authorized
