In Massachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island it is likely that the leg islatures will take no action in view of the voluntary reductions by Presi- dent Mellen of the New Haven road. These reductions now give the people of western Massachusetts and of a large portion of Connecticut a flat rate of 2 cents a mile. MT. Mellen has also notified his directors that he proposes to make similar reduction on the entire Old Colony division, which covers the eastern and the southwestern portions of Massachu- setts and a part of Rhode Island. At present the rates on the New Haven's S main line between Boston and New York are slightly in excess of 2 cents a mile, but it is MT. Mellen's express ed purpose to have a uniform 2-cent rate on all lines owned by the con- pany. The Boston and Albany and the Boston and Maine roads will un- doubtedly be compelled by the force of competition to follow Mr Mellen's lead
 Governor Hanly of Indiana has de- termined that his next legislature, whether it be a special or regular session, shall pass a 2-cent law that shall apply uniformly to all lines with in the state. universal sentiment exists throughout the state in favor Of such a measure and senators and representatives have so arrayed them selves without exception.

In the states east of Chicago and St. Louis it is recognized by the rail- roads that nothing can be done to stop the progress of the 2-cent fare agitation. It is in the air and the people are determined to have it. The most that railroads can hope to do is to postpone the inevitable as long as they can. The example of Ohio is becoming contagious, and quick ac- ton is demanded and expected in several states as soon as their new Legislatures shall convene. In fact. in Indiana the 2.cent fare is almost a campaign issue, for the legislators who will be elected next fall will, as a. rule, be tacitly, if not openly, com mitted to a 2-cent measure.
 There are several good reasons for the present agitation. Undoubtedly the abolition of passes by the eastern lines is an important factor with the legislators, if not with the people. The taking away of the free riding privi- lege from the lawmakers is spurring them into line of action which has been greatly desired by the people for some time. It is to be recalled also that the railroads of the east are not a unit in combating 2-cent fares. The action of Charles S. Mellen, pres ldent of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, in reducing fares on several divisions and in announc- ing that he proposes speedily to make similar reductions over the entire system will do more to advance the 2-cent fare cause than any other one thing.

R AILROADS OF NATION
 FACETWO=CENT FARES
people Unanimous in Their Demand for Reductions.-- Ohio's Lead L1kely 10
 be F1llowed in Other States.

The railroads of every state east or the Mississippi river are face to lace with threatened reductions i'll pass enger fares to 2-cent basis. That it will come in the near future seems almost beyond question.
 The agitation has spread rapidly and is still growing, and the sentl- ment in all of the states where pass. enger traffic is dense seems to De unanimous in favor of the proposed reduction. The idea that railroad riding is too costly is not entirely confined to the territory menuoned' for as far west as the Mississippi river. and even beyond, is to be found here and there @ state that Is dlscuss- ing reductions. And as the campaign spreads it is the fear of the railroads that they will be unable to conhne the movement to the more tmekly n0pulated states. Even now North Dakota ~ale OWclalS are sts HIS 'Iio' railroads should charge less for the transportation of persons. It does not do to call their attention to the fact that traffic is not dense in that state and that therefore the railroads must get more for their service. The re- ply to this is: s'So long as the rail- roads do net give us cheaper transpor- tation, just so long will there be a lack of density in traffic"

Special interest is taken in the Ohio law, which is a model for efiefness. Here is all there is to it:
 "A company operating railroad, in whole or in part. in this state, may demand ard receive for the transpor- tation of passengers on it's road not exceeding cents per mile for a dis tance Of more than five miles, pro- yided the fare shall always be made 2 p1ltinle of five nearest reached by multiplying the rate by the distance.
 EIichiean took the initiative in the reduction of passenger fares, put the law there is d graded one, depending upon the earnings of the railroads. The fares pSmitted to be charged range from 1 cents on some roads in the upper peninsula to , cents on the main lines in the lower state The rate grade is as follows:
 All roads whose passenger earnings exceed 5000 per mile, fare of , cents.
 All roads whose earnines exceeds s2OOO per mile and less than 5000 per mile. a fare of 1-2 cents per mile.
 All roads earning less than S2oo0 from passengers, cents per mile.
 All upper Peninsula roads earning less than 5000 per mile, a fare of not more than cents per mile.
 This law has resulted in giving the people of Michigan a 2-cent fare on over TOO miles of main lines and 3 21-2-cent rate on 400 miles of road. The operation of the law has proven eminently satisfactory to the people of the state and so far as can be learned has not affected adversely the revenues of the railroads.
 In the state of New York fully ten bills have been introduced into the legislature looking to reduction from 3 to cents in passenger fares. In that state dissatisfaction over the onerous exactions in connection with the sale of mileage books is believed to have had an important bearing on threatened legislation. One of the bills introduced provides for a 1 1-2- cept rate, and the provisions of all the pending bills are generally appli- cable to all railroads in the state.

CENSORSHIP IS STRONG
AMERICAN ENGINEER SAYS THAT YAQUlS HAVE HERMOsILlO
 PEOPLE FRIGHTENED.

DOUGLAS, April 13.-(SpeciaD- An American mining engineer on his way from Mexico to the east. who stopped in Douglas today said:
 The Mexican censorship is strong. go there too often to wish to be quoted, but people who say there is little or nothing to the Yaqui scare are not correctly informed. l tell you the people of Hermosillo are in a state of terror because of the Indians. They will not, or rather, they dare not. go out at night
 "The Indians are not enemies of the Americans. but Americans are in greater danger than Mexicans, for the Indians know that when they kill an American they will get his gun and cartridges That is a wonderful coun- try, but it will never be rightly devel- oped, nor even thoroughly prospected, until the Yaquis are put down once for all.
 "The people are always in fear of an attack upon the city at night. Res idents of the small villages live in ter TOT of such raids. They know that they would be at the mercy of the h. dians should they come. It is fact which cannot be disputed that at least 800 Yaqui bucks are under arms. They are not old men. Most of them are youngsters, ranging anywhere from sixteen to thirty years of age"

DOUGLAS, April I2.-(Special.)- J.
 c. o. Moss, superintendent of the Cleveland-Arizona Mining company. to whose bedside Dr. A. R. Hickman raced from Douglas to Nacozari two weeks ago on a special train. came to the city this morning sound man. His right arm was carefully bandaged, but the wound which first caused blood poisoning to set in, was nicely healed and Moss was happy in the fact that his arm had been saved.
 "Nacozari physicians agreed that l must lose my arm or my life" said Mir. Moss this morning at the depot. "and they had their instruments on the ope- rating table, awaiting the arrival of Dr. Hickman, who was speeding to Ma cozari from Douglas on a special train. About two hours before the Douglas surgeon arrived a change for the better took place. That some times happens for a period of eight hours in cases of blood poisoning, and after that the poisoning either increas. es or recedes rapidly. When Dr Hickman came they agreed to await five hours before the operation Al the end of that time my arm looked so much better that the consultation resulted in giving me another chance to save the member, and I came out all right"
 Mir. Moss went on to Cananea. His company is operating at Red Rock on a property adjoining that of the I'm perial Copper company.

 Papers Ready.
Special to Review)


 Tombstone April l4.-That sisso, which is reported to have been founl on c. w. Collins when he was arrest ed in El Paso by Detective Billy Smith, and which made the eyes of the El Paso police stick out in won- derment at the display of such roll of bills. will look like "thirty cents Mex" if all of the suits that have been filed against Collins are sus- tained and judgments secured.
 There has been rush to get the papers out so as to have them ready to serve as soon as he arrives here. c. L. Cummings. the butcher. was the first one to get into action. Late last evening he got out his writ of gar nishment against Collins with Deputy Sheriff Bennett as garnishee, thinking that the money would be in the depu- tvs hands when he came with Col lins from Fl Paso. These papers were placed in the hands of Constable Jas Kelly for service and he left on the morning train to meet the train from Fl Paso and serve his papers oa the deputy anu Collins.
 John Henningsr was the next one and his papers were filed in the dis trict court this morning and Chi"f of Police Bravin was awaiting to serve them on Bennett when he ste Coped from the train.
 70 had in his pocket a number of others that were filed in the justice court, the sums not being large enough to be brought in the district court. There are now no less than eight suits filed against Collins and, with still more to hear from. The outcome of the cases will be watched with interest and promise to raise some interesting legal questions. Deputy Bennett and his prisoner will be in, on the evening train hav- ing been held up by burned bridge the other side of Rocco last night. A number of persons were at the train last evening in hopes of seeing Col lins and also this morning. but were disappointed.
