City of Mexico, Juno 24.—At Huimll-

named Garcia is charged with having
called the Indians In his town together
by ringing the church bells and when
a large crowd had assembled they all
marched to a shop kept by the Rodri-
guez family of well known liberal opin-
ions. The - shop was looted and the
mob then marched to the house of th*
p4fect of the village which was atoned.

the people of the town learned of th*

rival entered and arrested the congre-
gation. The priest, who offered re-
alstamce, was, taken from the altar.
Judge Luis Isla heard the case and dis-
charged the priest and It is said acted
in an illegal inanner, not taking the
deposition of he clergyman as required
by law. The federal authorities have
begun an investigation and it is prob-
able that the priest will be prosecuted .
and the judge may be indicted for un-
lawful acquittal and sedition.

On Thursday the Yale-Harvard re-

eighth time on the Thames river at
New London, Conn. As of late years,
it will attract a grest throng of stu-
dents. alumni and friends of. the two
universities, more of them possibly
than for several years past. The spec-
tacular race between the varsity
eights last year, the unbounded cunfl-
dence of Harvard, men In Coach
Wray and the prospects of a victory
for the crimson have stimulated in-
terest this year.
In the thirty-nine times the two
universities have met Yale has been

Harvard has not won since 1897.
The royal Henly regatta which will

Germany, Holland and Belgium and
Canada having been entered to com-
pete with the crews of Oxford and

coinage act for the islands.also Was.

th- cabinet. M. Ye rm off, formerly
minister of agriculture, gave out an in-
terview today saying the present situ-
ation is impossible and that it is evi-
dent if the ministry can do nothing for
the pacification of the country, it
should be replaced by a cabinet ■ In
which the more orderly elements of
parliament are given places. The sit-
nation, M. Yermof added, is so tensa
that any attempt of the. administration
to array itself to open opposition can
only result in disaster.
M. Yermom, who is a shrewd politi-
cian. has now nothing but honeyed
words for parliament which? though
containing revolutionary elements, he
says, is the true reflection of the senti-
ment of the country and evidently he
is laying wires and working for a con-
hection between the majorities of the
two houses to parliament under ft re-
sponsible ministry. He is thought to
have his eye on his old portfolio in
such a cabinet.
Though M. Yermoft and his party in
the program published today adhere to
nominal opposition to the general prin-
ciple of expropriation, they concede
the necessity of satisfying the laud
hunger of the peasantry and adopt the
Idea of the creation of local commis-
sions for the solution of the. problem i
accordance with local need thereby
endorsing the principle of which all of
the factions in the lower house—the
constitutional democrats, the group of
toll, the .Poles and the conservatives—
are tending to concentrate. With re-
gard to the Jews, M. ermof believes
the Semite question can be rettied by
the abolishment of the pale and the
granting of equal rights to Jews, but he
favors certain restrictions In the pur-
chase of land by Jew*, holding that it
is necessary to regard the sentiment of
Rursians which will be alarmed unless
this is done. . I
M. Yerifom laughed at Foporti of dis-
persal of parliament which he says
would be not only fatuous, but fatal to
the court factions- He expressed confi-
dence that the government would soon
be striving to effect an understanding
with parliament. * a 1
There are indications that Prmler

it is intended will have a beneficial

Washington, June .24. — Important
measures extending federal regulation
and control have been enacted at the
first session of the Fiy-ninth con-
gress now rapidly drawing to a closei
The railroad rate and the meat in-
spection bills will soon become laws,
and before adjournment 'of' congress
both houses will have passed pure food
bills which, though dissimilar in terms,
are both based on the same principle
of federal control. It is the present
intention to try to adjust tlre differ-
ences before adjournment.
There has been no marked division
on party lines in effecting the above
results, the differences being only as
to ways and means rather than as to
policy.
Besides branching off into this new
field of legislative endeavor, the pres-
ent session of congress has made Itself
heads of the departments are to tiring
the matter of appropriations directly
before tho senate, and that makes it
necessary for each depart ment to sub-
mit all of its estimates for appropria-
tions in the book of estimates sent to
congress at e beginning of each ses-
sion Still another matter of economy
is the taking away from the govern-
ment clerk the right to secure a trans-
fer to another department at a higher
salary until he has served three years
in the position he wishes to abandon.

Enthusiasts of the “greater navy"
regard the legislation of the session as
inimical to the proper growth of tia
arm of the fighting force. The record
shows that congress authorized the
construction of the biggest battleship
afloat with the provision that before
the plans are submitted or blds re-
calved or accepted the plans of the
ship must be submitted to congress at
its next session.
Hazing at the naval academy was
given a further legislative rebuke by
the providing of a bill giving the sec-
retary‛of the navy discretion to dis-
miss or. otherwise. punish haters at
that institution. A law was passed
which will result in appropriate mark-
ings being made over the graves of
Confederate veterans of the army and
navy who died in northern prisons
during the Civil war.
Alaska was given the right to send
a delegate to congress and an act was
passed whereby that territory will
have a larger school and public Im-
provement fund.
Although the ship subsidy measure
did not become a law twenty-four pub-
lic acts relative to shipping became
laws. They were all minor in charac-
ter and inaugurated.
The application of the coastwise
laws to the Philippines was postponed
till 1910.
A bill winding up the affairs of the
five civilized tribes became a law.
Ten bills relative to the courts of
the United States were passed. These
related to the establishment of addi-
tional courts, etc. The Important
measure relative <0 court procedure
is that which prescribes ’tho exact pro-
cedure which must be followed by wit-
nesses to secure immunity from pros-
ecution later. This law prescribes an
exact procedure to be followed incases
where the government undertakes to
gain information to bo used later in
criminal procedure.
Important to the Southern states
was the enactment of the quarantine
bill providing for corporation of stats
and federal authorities in suppressing
yellow fever.
President Roosevelt was given $25,-
000 to pay traveling expenses of him-
self and invited guests.
The private pension legislation of
the session was very heavy, and many
hundreds of such acts will be signed
before the end comes.

Senator Hale, who. in the absence of
Senator Allison, is acting us chair-
man of the senate committee on ap-
propriations, expresses Confidence in
the final adjournment of congress be-
fore the close of the present week.
His prugram will be to urge the con-
sideration of appropriations bills’ and
conference reports to the exclusion of
practically all other matters, and with
the supply bills finally passed there
is ho measure unless It be the railroad
rate bill that can hold congress to-
gether. The Maine senator is of the
opinion that the work can a! be con-
. eluded by Friday but says that in no
♦ event .will it go beyond Saturday.
The only two appropriation bills
which have not passed the senate are
the general deficiency bill and the
omnibus house bill, but the sundry
civil, the naval and the agriculture
bills are still in conference. Of these
none is expected to require* much time
except the agricultural bill. To which
is attached the meat inspection provi-
sion, and it is generally conceded that
in case of necessity that measure
could be disposed of in short order, as
It has already been sufficiently dis-
cussed to satisfy most senators. It is
. not anticipated that the deficiency bill
will arouse debate, but there will be
a general scramble to secure recogni-
tion on the building bill. For this
reason It will be held in reserve until
the last minute. As to the rate bill,
no one-doubts that It will get through,
but no one is satsifed Just how the
commodity amendment prohibiting
common carriers from , transporting
their own products will come. If
Senator Tillman adheres to his deter4
nil nation to insist upon the retention
of the words “common carrier” in-
