DETERMINATION OF YAQUIS.
End of the Spartans of America As
sured Unless They Make Peace.

The Yaquis OF Mexico. the mcst re-
markable Indian tribe in all America.
will be extermirated by. the Mexican
army in a few years more unless they
abandon their hopeless guerrilla war
fare in Sonora and chihuahua, and that
seems very unlikely. The Yaquis are
truly the Spartars Of America.
They have taken a solemn vow never
TO cease fighting for their rights. II
they keep up this battling against such
desperate odds it is Only a matter of
time when there will be no Yaquis left
to renew the vow.
1t is a pity that the record of their
long years of warfare with Mexico has
not been preserved. The Yaquis are
natural soldiers. Some of the strategy
Of their suo-chiefs Is astonishing ana
ought to be put before readers.
For Gftv-two years practically the
Yaquis and MeXilans have been at war.
In 1S57-7S there was a cessation OF hos
tilities for sixteen months. but both
Mexicans and Yaquis went armed just
the same
In May, 1897, the Yaquis made treaty
Of peace with Mexico at Crtiz, and for
about two years the Mexican army
thought it had at last done with fight
Ing the YaQuis, only TO have the cid
tribal spirit Of revenge break out anew.
IN that time to this some 5000 Mexi
can soldiers have been kept busy in
campaigns against the Yaquis.
The war has been most aggressively
fought and the Yaquis have been more
reckless than ever before. Last year. il
is estimated that the Yaquis lost some
300 Of their braves in war. and since
last January they have lost even more
In one skirmisA. on June 4. sixty miles
south of TORN. the Mexcans lost
twenty-five and the Yacuis ne..rIy sixty.
All the engagements between the Mexi-
cans and the YaoGis in the last two
years have resulted in losses dcubly and
trebly severe to the Yaquis than to the
MeXicans.

OTHER VACANCIES IN
NEAR FUTURE PROBABLE
Noted Men Candidates for the Ermine
of the Chief Justice and Mr..
Justice Shiras.

1t has been an open secret in Wash
ington political circles for more than
six months that Mr. Justice Horace
Gray, of Massachusetts. would resign
before the beginning of the October
term. Last winter Justice Gray suffered
slight stroke of paralysis. from which
he has never recovered, having since
been practically an invalid. He is eli
gible for retirement both on account
of length of service. which is fixed by
law at ten years. and because he has
passed the statutory limit OF age, which
is seventy years.
He was born in Boston March "a. 1925
and was associate justice OF the supreme
court of Massachusetts when appointed
to the United States Supreme Court
bench by President Arthur. in 1881.
President Roosevelt has for some time
been aware of Justice Gray's intention.
and virtually decided at the time that
Representative Moody was appointed
Secretary OF the Navy upon Mr.. Wen
dell Holmes as Justice Gray's success
sor.
Justice Gray's retirement is due en-
tirely to his Illness.
1t is highly probable that in the fall
the President will have another vacancy
on the bench to fill. as it is understood
here that Justice George shiras. jr.. of
Pennsylvania, who reached the age Of
seventy last January, Will also retire
The Pennsylvania Senator'S and other
influential men of the Keystone State
have recommended the appointment OF
Justice J. Hay Brown. of the Pennsyl-
yania supreme court as a fit man to
be the successor OF Justice Shiras- At
tornev General Knox is also mentioned
as a possibility.
Some time ago the politicians arrang-
ed a program that contemplated the re-
tirement OF Chief Justice Fuller, next
February, when he will be seventy years
OF age, and the appointment OF Sena-
tor Spooner OF Wisconsin. Justice
Fuller was appointed b" President
Cleveland in October, 1855, and viii

1t has been repeatedly stated in Wash

known intention of Justices Gray and
Shiras to retire, that President Roose-

WHETHER A.TROG IS FISH
OR GAME IS A QUESTION
Canadian and United States
Officials Interested.
Exporting Frog Legs Increases and Our
Northern f!eighbor Seeks
Way to Stop 1t.
Is a frog fish or game?

That is a question which the Canadian
department of marine and fisheries is
now trying TO settle and the officials
of this country are also interested in
the matter
There has been an enormous increase
in the export of frogs legs to the
United States. and some fear is eX-
pressed by our neighbor to the north
that. unless restrictions are placed upon
the killing, frogs viii soon become ex-
tinct in that country. Everyone feels
that something must be done &c prevent
the total destruction of a valuable ar
ticle of food.
II frog is a fish. the department OF
Ottawa has the power to institute a
close season. but if it comes in the cat
egory of game. the matter OF a close
season must be settled by the provincial
authorities.
1t May Be Neithe-.
1t may be, however. that the decis-
ion will be reached that the frog is
neither game nor fish. and in this event
it will be necessary to secure the pas
sage of an amendment to the act OF
British North America. by the imperial
parliament. 20 protect them.
DR.. D. E. Salmon. chief Of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, is not certain
whether the frog is fish or game, but
he is inclined to think thar il does not
properly belong in either class.
Dr. Hugh NJ Smith. the Assistant
Commissioner. who has charge Of the
division OF inquiry respecting food
fishes at the United States Fish Com
mission is authority for tine statement
that the frog is not a fish. In reality
it is a reptile, he said although it
might come within the category OF
game.
The fact that it IS captured for food
might make 1t game, and this interpre-
tation Of the word would permit it TO
be called game. However, none of the
officials care TO give their opinions as
those Of experts. The Canadian au-
thorities must settle the matter.

there will be twenty-three soldiers for
each Of the 4SO mining operations and a
little more than. one for every two men
now at work about the mines.
There is no settled opinion here as to
what effect the calling out OF the whole
guard will have. The operators have
claimed all along that it would break the
strike by inducing to return to the mines
thousands OF men who, they claim, are
only deferred now from so doing by fear
Of violence. The strike leaders have been
saying the calling out OF the Third brigade
had no tendency to break the strike. hut
on the other hand. that it has had the
effect Of lettering men from returning to
work. in support Of which claim they point
to the fact that before the troops came
