MADISON COUNTY CONVENTION
AGAINST INSTRUCTIONS.
WILL FIGHT AT BUTTE
Republican County Convention In
Twin Bridges Votes to Have Its
Delegates Vote to Send uninstruet-
ed Delegates to Chicago.

Twin Bridges, May 9.-The repub-
lican delegates from Madison county
to the state convention in Butte will

structed delegation to the national re-,
publican convention at Chicago, June

Another resolution passed indorses
the policy Of President Roosevelt and
calls upon the delegates to support
such a man for the nomination.
The county convention was held at
Virginia City Thursday afternoon.
Delegates were in attendance from
nearly all precincts Of the county. A.
J. Bennett, chairman Of the county
central committee called the meeting
to order and Charles Mclean of
Laurin was chosen chairman. 1t was
decided to hold the convention for,
placing in nomination candidates for
county Offices n week prior to date
of state convention. A feature Of the
meeting which shows the sentiment
of the county delegation to be about
equally divided on a candidate for the
presidency, was a vote which showed
'13 to favor Taft, Is for Hughes and
three in favor OF Roosevelt.

HOSTILE YAQuIs .
TO SURRENDER
INDIANS HAVE AGREED TO THE
GOVERNMENTS DEMANDS.

Nogales, Ariz.. May 9.-Prospects Of
an end Of the outrages by hostile
Yaquis are brighter than at any time
in several years.
For some time 1t has been known in
Sonora that the Yaquis In the field
were making overtures for peace but
the military authorities demanded the
surrender Of all arms.
The mayor Of Guaymas has re-
ceived a message from the Yaqui head
quarters as follows:
"Bacate, May THE rebels with
Chief Luis Bule have submitted to the
government. Are gathering to deliv-
er their arms. I notify you for your
information.-Captain Bardon."
It cannot yet be stated whether any
large number will surrender to the
troops, but It is the opinion here that
hostilities will cease. The Indians
known TO have been concerned IN ont
RACES will naturally keep out Of the
hands Of the authorities. but with
travel throughout the richest mining
and agricultural portion Of Sonora
once more safe, these industries soon
win attain large activity.

BILL IN SENATE
AGREE TO VOTE ON MEASURE BE.
FORE ADJOURNMENT MONDAY

Washington, May 9.-The agricul-
tural bill was again taken up in the
senate today, Mr.. Smoot Of Utah
speaking in advocacy Of the forest
reserve service.
Senator Flint of California said that
the laws under which fraudulent prac-
tees grew up were still on the stat
ute books in spite Of efforts to repeal
them. Endorsing the statement Of
the senator from California, Senator
Newlands Of Nevada, declared that
the explanation Of the failure to re
peal these laws was found in the in
fuence Of interests strongly in
trenched in every present organiza-
ton in the west"
Saying that he wished to speak in
defense of the forest reserve policy"
Mr.. Lodge apologized for the use Of
the word policy which the senator
from Idaho commented upon the other
day, but as no other word occurred to
him 49, he would use it. He declared
that the eastern states could appre-
ciate what had been done by the pio-
neers in the western country, but they
believed that the forests should be
preserved for the whole people and
not regarded as belonging to the
states in which they are located.
"Wha has been called in this de-
bate a GodEgiven right to use and de-
stroy without interference has been
pretty fully exercised in this country.
said Mr.. Lodge.
Protesting against the tendency OF
the senator's defense Of the forestry
policy Of the administration to place
those opposed to It in the position Of
opposing the preservation Of the for
ests, Senator Clark Of Wyoming de-
clared that his opposition was against
the methods Of the forestry service.
II protest injustice" he said,
against r~ecklessness, against the al.
most criminal r~eck1essness with which.
the United States is voting money to
an unknown purpose"
He said congress was now asked to
appropriate $1,500,o00 more.for the
forest service than was received BY
the service for the sales Of timber,
etc. q MA
Senator Newlands spoke in favor OF
the forest reserve policy. Upon mo-
ton of Senator Warren the senate
agreed to meet at IL O'Clock next
Monday and to vote on the agricul-
tural bill before adjournment.
