Thirty-six rebels and eight federals are

Hermosillo is safe from attack, as the
routing of the rebel forces from La
Colorado will deter Juan Cabrars

maneuvering to enter La Colorado.
The united rebel force had contem.
plated an attack on Hermosillo.

Washington, Aug. i.--Wisc onsin, OF

porations to pay its ordinary state ex-
penses. About II per cent of the states
taxes come from that source. Ohio

corporations; Indiana 10 per cent and
Illinois "a per cent. In Michigan the
revenue from corporations which is 4s
per cent of the tax receipts is applied

A comprehensive review of the taxa
ton Of corporations In Ohio Indiana
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin is
presented in a report OF the commits.

CANADA TO FIGHT
over The TREATY
Parliament Dissolved and Reel.
procity Will Be Issue iii
September Election.

Ottawa, July 31.--The Dominion par
lament was dissolved this afternoon,
and a general election is ordered for
September q. Nominations will be
made on September IA.
The dissolution OF the Canadian par
lament carries the question of recip-
rocity between the United States and
Canada before the Canadian electorate,
where the reciprocity issuc from this
time until the election on September
Il Will be the controlling issue. The
announcement OF dissolution was q full
fillment OF Premier l.aurier's ulti-
matum, read to the opposition forces
last Monday, that continued resistance
to a vote would be met by an appeal
to the country.
The present liberal government has
large majority In the Dominion parlia-
ment, but the absence or a cloture rule
has made II impossible to secure q vote
by which this majority could adopt the
reciprocity measure. IN the event OF
the success of the liberal party at the
polls in September the new parliament
will at once pass the reciprocity meas
ure, whereas a defeat OF the liberals
will mean the passing Of Premier Lau-
rier and the permanent shelving Of
reciprocity between the United States
and Canada.
The present house Of commons con-
sists OF 1913 liberals. 50 conservatives
and three independents.
