Commissioners to the YaC ais.
Mexican Herald


 General Viljeon and Ing. Mari itano Silva will compose the com mission to be sent to Sonora to stndy the Yaqui situation.
 Minister Hernandez yesterday said that General Viljeon had been appointed on the commission on account of his familiarity with the region and the chiefs of the tribes, and that Mir. Silva is also acquaint- ed with the region and the Indian problem, having lived for years in Sonora and having given much at tention to the Indian question.
 The minister admitted that Mir. Madero had no authority to nego- ciate for the reconstruction of the destroyed churches of the Yaquis and that he supposed the churches would be erected by funds secur- ed from private parties as many people would assist in that way.

government controlled the majority of the stock of the National Rail- ways of Mexico, and that this stock was registered in the name of the government, and deposited with the treasurer of the Mexican nation, and therefore, 1t would be impossible to obtain the control of the stock without the consent of the Mexican government, and by a special act of Congress.
 Mexican Herald: That frauds were practiced by employees, or pretended employees, of the depart ment of gobernacion during the incumbency of Lie. Emilio Vazquez Gomez was revealed yesterday by persons who came from distant points of the republic for the pur- pose of collecting indemnity for their losses during the revolution. It Is stated that men IT. the depart ment of gobernacion were accustom- ed to charge fifty per cent for col lecting the sums approved for losses and that as the parties seek ing indemnity believed that was the only way to receive the money, paid the sums. The procurador general, Lie. Castelazo Fuentes, said that fraud had been practced in the matter of indemnity and that the perpetrators will be sought out and prosecuted. It is said that some revolutionary colonels collected pay for troops which existed only in their minds.

 family will leave shortly for New York, where they have some inn portant professional engagements, after which they will travel abroad in the interest of their professions, returning to the capital in about a year, when they will bring with them the remains of theirilustrious father the late Richard (Dick) Bell, once Mexico'5 foremost clown.
 Mexican Herald: Election in. slructions have been sent out to the governors of the states and territories of the republic by the minister of gobernacion, Dr. AL berto Garcia Granados. The in. 8lructions provide for the division of municipalities into sections of 300 citizens, including both sexes and all ages, and the appointment of recorder for each section who shall take the census of the persons who are eligible to vote and give them their tickets. The names of the recorders are to be posted in public places eight days previous to the primary elections.
 Mexican Herald: The depart. ment of gobernacion upon the opening of the National Congress will send petition to that body requesting that the elections in the state of Sinaloa be annulled owing to the fact that they were held illegally and under the pressure brought to bear by Juan Banderas, self-styled governor. A governor then will be appointed by the president. which appointment will be sent to Congress for approval. This will be necessary owing to the fact that the legal Congress of the state of Sinaloa was dissolved by Banderas. As soon as the Federal troops, which shall leave here Saturday, bring order out of the present anomalous conditions in Sinaloa the appointed governor will call for state elections.
 Mexican Herald; American Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson will be rendered a banquet upon his return from the United States by his American friends resident in Mexico. At a meeting of members of the colony at the American club yesterday noon it was decided to compliment the ambassador with a testimonial that would be an appreciation of the personal esteem in which he is held as we'll as acknowledgment of the efficient service he has render ed here in his official capacity. At the meeting yesterday E. N. Brown was made chairman, and Carl Holt Smith, secretary. After brief discussion of the desirability of honoring the ambassador upon his arrival it was unanimously decided that the affair should take the form of dinner to be given at the American club on the evening of Tuesday, September 12.
