DEPEW'S VIEWS OF CHARITY.
Spoke at Meeting Held In Behalf of
National Junior Republic.

Washington, March 11.-President Nc
Kinley, Secretary Long, Senator Chauncey
Depew and number of members of Con-
gress attended tonight a public meeting
at the Columbia Theater held in the in
terest of the National Junior Republic,
which has its headquarters at Annapolis
Junction, Nd.
The object of the republic is to provide
for the boys of Washington and Balti-
more especially those without homes, a
place whereethey can be taught to care
for and govern themselves.
Senator Depew made an interesting adj
dress in which he asserted his belief that
one-half of all charitable efforts are pro-
ductive Of more harm than good, as in
creasing pauperism.
Especially is it true in England" he
said, that most of the money contributed
for charitable work is absorbed in The
salaries and Office rent of those directing
its expenditure. The worst form that char
ity can take is when 1t pauperizes the
recipient / have observed that a schoi-
arship in one OF our colleges that provides
for ell the wants Of the student holding IL
usually turns out an Indifferent or worth
less man, while the men who have be-
come great worked their way through col
lege."
He urged from this that the boys man.
hood must be appealed to.
Addresses were also made by Mr. Blair
Lee, Mr. Thomas G. Noyes and several
officers of the republic and a letter of re-
greet was read from Hon. John Hay.

HARD FIGHTS WITH YAQUlS.
MUCH DIFFICULTY IN DISTRESSING
THE SAVAGES.

Mexican Government Has n Serious
Have Been whipped in Several
Fights, But They Arc still on the
Warpath-Mayas May Join Them
and Increase the DihicuIty-GoV-
ernment VIII Try to Crush Them.
Austin, Tex, March ia special from
Potam, Mex. states that during the four
days ending on Friday. the Yaqui Indians
and the Mexican troops had four engage
ments near Cocorit, Mex.
The Mexican troops are eudeavorng to
force their way through this section of
the country so as to keep roadway be
tween TORN and that point open for
travel.
The engagements of the four days men
toned resulted rather dsastrously for the
Indians, as in the neighborhood of 200 are
known to have been killed and possibly
little loss of life, though some twenty-five
soldiers were wounded.
The government troops will engage the
Indians actively from now on, as every
efforts will be made to wipe them out in
short order.
The fact that the Maya Indians have
also taken to the warpath and are harass-
ing the troops a great deal gives rise to
grave surmises as to how long it will
take to bring the uprising to a termina-
ton, 1t is feared that unless both fac
tons are brought into submission soon
they will combine forces, when they would
DE almost unconQuerable.
1t is evident that the Mexican forces
will be victorious in the long run, but
the war has now been in progress for
something like nine months at a great
expense and every effort will be made to
end it forthwith.
A special from Ortiz, state of Sonora, is
TO the effect that on Friday reports
reached there of a bloody skirmish be-
tween a band of some 300 Yaquis and
about an equal number of soldiers, about
fifty miles west of that place, ,in which the
firing was continued most of the day. The
loss among the soldiers was light, owing
to their splendid fertilization, being en-
| sconced behind a natural breastwork of
boulders on a hillside, with the Indians
in tine open. 1t cleverly laid trap
into which the Indians Were led, and while
they left none of their dead on the fed
il is thought their loss was heavy as
quite number were seen to fail.
Reliable information states that fully
$500 Yaqu.s are now in the neghborhood
of Guaymas, and fully a many more are
proving between MeGano and Potam.

No MORE CUTTING or RATES.
Practically an Alliance Formed Be-
tween western Roads.

New York March 12-+The Herald says:
II is rumored that the great Western
railroads have made an agreement to do
no more cutting rates between Chicago
and the Western coast. Tho agreement
it s reported on excellent authority. prac.
tcally amounts to an alliance of these
railroads for mutual protection against
the interstate commerce law.
According TO the Herald's Informant, at
meeting of the representatives of an the
more important Zines, which took part in
the conference here March s, an agree
ment was m3de that after March 10 there
would be absolutely no cutting of rates
west of Chicago and 20 the Pacific coast.
Among the roads said to have been rep
resented a the conference We're the Chi
cago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad; the
South Pacific; the Central Pacific
the Northern Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe and the Chicago and
Northwestern railroads In fact, 1t is
said that every important line between
Chicago and the Pacific coast with the ex-
ception of the Canadian railroads entered
into the compact.
Neither Cook Raymond, nor any tourist
companies which have hitherto had spe-
cial rates will, it is asserted, receive any
advantage under the new arrangement.

probably not return here. 1t is an open
secret in ecclesiastical circles that he was
profoundly disappointed with his recep-
ton in this city and the scant courtesy
shown him. A friend Of the distinguished
prelate says:
when the papal delegate arrived it was
but natural that the Archbishop of Mex
ico should offer him hospitality, but he
had 10 seek lodgings with an eminent and
friendly physician of this capital. He
found the disposition prevalent TO regard
him as an interioper
''On several public occasions the papal
delegate spoke his mind freely, but his
warm Italian temperament and frank dis
position prompted his utterances. He be
lieved the native clergy were incapable
of organization and resentful of even the
slightest Interference, as they regarded it,
of the holy father. He Believed in bring
ing in a large number of foreign priests
preferably French, who are popular in
Mexico and more inbred with modern
ideas
''The papal delegate regretted the pro-
Vincial bitterness of tone which still ex-
lists and is likely TO bring about bad feel
ing between the United States and Mex
leo, which is contrary TO the Natican's
earnest wish. Even when Catholic bish-
ops come here on recreation they meea

PORTO RICAN BILL AND QUAY,
Will BE the Most Discussed Subjects
in the Senate.


Washington, March 1.-THE Senate will
continue to give attention to the Porto
Rican bill and the Quay resolution this
week, with a possibility that there may be
a diversion in favor of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty and Senator Masons Boer resolu-
ton.
Mr. Mason says it IN his purpose to call
up his resolution again and to get vo-e
upon it if possible. Senator Davis has ex-
pressed an intention to ask the Senate to
take up the treaty during the latter part
of the week, but Senator Foraker, in
charge of the Porto Rican BILL expresses
confidence that Senator Davis will not
bring the treaty forward at a time to en-
barrass the Porto Rican measure.
Speeches on Porto Rican bill will he
made Monday by Senators Rawlins and
Turner and probably later in the week by
Senator Nelson. The debate on this meas
ure probably will be very general and pos
sibly quite spirited.
The members of the Committee on Or
der of Business emphatically contradict
the reports that the committee is exerting
itself TO secure the amendment to the
Porto Rican bill, saying that the commit
tee has nothing to do with the formulation
of Legislation.
The Senate will meet at 10 O'Clock Mon
day. TWO hours in advance of the usual
hour, in order TO take UP the Alaskan
code bill the reading of which has lot
vet been completed.

FARMING FOR PROFIT.
Remarkable Success of "A Small Far

ton Of the good times that the farmers

horse farm last year for $3.50 on time.
He began his farming operation with a
debt of $3.50 hanging over him for mules,
wagon and guano, and he persuaded a To-
cal merchant here TO run" him through
the year. on twenty-five acres of land he
made seventeen bales of sea island cot
ton. He raised his own meat, peas, pin-
ders, hay etc, and cold 80 bushels of
corn, keeping enough 10 last him through
this year. He paid the rent of his place,
paid the debts that he incurred when he
began the year and had enough money left
over to pay for the guano he will use
this year and to pay other incidental ex-
penses besides. He says that he has not
come to town during the year without
bringing something to sell and has not
carried anything away from here that he
could possibly raise at home. BY con-
tinung the same policy this year. he ex-
poets to live happily and Independently.
