The Yaqui Problem Approaching Soiu-
 ton.

100 Yaquis-men, women and children-who had been gathered from the ranches about Minas Prietas and Hermosillo, and dur ing the present week all the Yaquis from all the ranches for miles about Minas Prietas have been gathered for deportation. It has been found that all without ex- ception, even the most peaceably inclined, contribute money to the cause regularly every month, which is expended in buying guns and ammunition, and that all are sub ject to call, to which they respond and turn out, to commit depreda- tions, returning to their work inn mediately, claiming all the time to Do peaceable.
 Only week or ten days ago a Taqui who had long worked as a fireman at the air compressor at the Grand Central mine was ex- ecuted for participation in the murder of man very close to La Colorado few days before. He had in his possession the hat and pistol of the murdered man; and when confronted with the evidence admitted that he had been one of the participants in the crime. His companion in the murder was also located, and the two were taken to the scene nf their offence and hanged, close to the track Of the Torres k Prietas railway, between La Colorado and Paredones sta- tions. The fireman had left his work at the regular hour at even ing, and returned on time tue next morning. Within an hour after he had quit work. by prearrangement he and the other had sallied out to the place where they knew their intended victim would be found, and killed him. The deed was known at La Colorado very short- ", and when the fireman went to work the next morning he was told by Ignacio Calvillo, the engineer ut the compress, what had occurred, when he expressed a hope that the perpetrators would be caught and hanged. Within a couple of days the evidence against him was pro- duced, and he got his wish.
 From the ranche of Don Fran cisco Tapia no less than nineteen Yaquis were taken for deportation. Some were proved guilty of com plicity in the murder of the father of the naagordomo of the ranche, some three weeks ago, and all were found to be regular contributors to the Yaqui war fund, while one of them was identified as the official collector for the fund.
 It is developments such as these which have caused the policy of complete exportation of the tribe peaceful and warlike together, for none of them are to be trusted. As fast as they can be gathered the Yaquis are sent to Guaymas, thence down the coast upon the transport Oaxaca, to one of the southern ports of the republic, and marched across to Yucatan.
 The recently organized battalion of rurales has taken the field, and is engaged in the work of rounding up and bringing in the Indians. They are also patrolling all the roads in force, and they supply es- corts to travellers when wanted. Travel in the region affected has again become safe.

 ssWell, we're beat, an that's all there is to it." declared Dixon, half savagely; then he added, ian by cast-off out of your fathers stable, too, Miss Allis. If there's any more bad luck owin' John Porter. hanged if wouldn't like to shoulder it myself, an give him breath CT" Then, with popderous gentleness for big, rough-thrown-together man, he continued: Don't you fret, miss; the little mares all right; she'll pull your father through all this; you just cheer up. I've got to go now an look after her.
 When the trainer had gone the jockey turned to Allis, hesitatingly, and said: 'Dixon's correct about the little mare; she's all rigkt. I wouldn't speak even afore him, though he's all right, too, but" and he looked about carefully to see that nobody was within earshot 'T could a-been in the money"
 The girl started. Crane had said that the jockey had stopped riding.

 Favoritism for the Brooklyn was di- vided between The King, a five-year- old that had won 1t the year before, and White Moth, a three-year-old, win ner of the last years Futurity. s
 Jockey Redpath had been riding Lu- cretia. At last Dixon had been singu- larly fortunate in the matter of jockeys Redpath was just making his reputa- tion, making. 1t as all jockeys reputa- tions are made, by winning races.
 On the twenty-second Dixon gave Lu- cretia good strong three-quarter gal lop over the handicap course; on the twenty-thfrd she had g, quiet canter: and on the morning of the, twenty fourth, the eventful day, she poked her mouse-brown nozzle over the bar of her stall when Allfs came to look at her and seemedgto say II do my part to-day"
 Nothing could have been wished for fin Lucretia's appearance that wasn't there, except just the faint suspicion of 8 sacrifice of strength to speed. But If the. frame wasn't there, the good strong heart was; the courage and the gentleEess and the wisdom, and the full glow of perfect health.
 For hours the trains had borne to Long Island crowd after crowd of eager New Workers. Lovers of horses, lovers of gambling, pure and simple; holiday makers, and those .y.ao wished to see the Brooklyn run out cf sheer curiosity; 7; train after train whirled these atoms of humanity to the huge gates of the Gravesend arena. Betting ring, and paddock, and lawn became alive; tier after tier, from step to roof, the ser rated line of white-faced humanity waited for the grand struggle. Down in the betting ring men of strong voices believed words of money odds, and ful1-muscled shoulders pushed and carried heads about that were in- tent on financial business.
 Out in the paddock, small brown mare of gentle aspect, with big soft eyes, walked with easy stride an el- liptical circle. Her fetIocks kissed the short grass in an unstable manner, as though the joints were all too supple. Inside of the circle stood Allis Porter and man square of jaw and square of shoulder, that was Andy Dixon. Pres entIy to them came Mike Gaynor
