"Sympathizers of the revolutionists advance as arguments in support of the insurrection alleged overtaxation l > y the federal government , made more onerous by failure of crops , the two combining to make hard times. They claim discrimination in favor of for eigners and influential Mexicans on the part of this generally. " Business , he declared , was at a standstill and excitement intense.

At rmany of the stations along the route onuncipila officers had been sworn in as police to guard banks and railroad etations. FINISHES TERM IN PRISON.

Griswold. the Yale stroke , -whose collapse last Thursday was fol lowed by an easy victory for the Har- jvard crew , is ill at the home of G. B. jxoyes , Deer island , Alexandria bay. JX. J. There was a report Sunday jnight that Griswold was in a serious jcondition. but the report could not lie confirmed , nor the cottage at which 'he is stopping be communicated with.

A special dispatch received at E Paso , Tex. , says that a band of Mexi f .can revolutionists attacked the town o Los Vacas , Mex. , early Friday morn ing , and some of the revolutionists ar believed to have crossed into Texas > The Texas sheriff wired asking th governor if he should arrest any fugi tives coming into the state. The gov ernor referred the matter to the attor ney general , who held that the stati officials could not take any action , a ; the matter of political fugitives com Ing into the United States from foreigi countries was a subject for the feder al authorities to deal with. It is reported that the revolutionist : were repulsed. Later information says that abou 5,000 shots were exchanged. The of ficers' quarters were burned ami , be tween forty and fifty killed on both sides. The troops' commandant wa ; badly wounded. Another outbreak ii expected , as the revolutionists havt well armed cavalry. All telegraph andt telephone wire ; have been cut The worst attack oc curred at the customs house. The attack on Los Vacas Friday is separate and distinct from the affair at Viesca Thursday. The towns are more than 140 miles distant from each other , and the assaults were at least twenty-four hours apart. The arrest in El Paso Thursday of eleven Mexicans alleged to be in volved in a proposed revolution against Mexico has created alarm among the officials of Jaurez , the Mexican town across the river. Troops are guarding the custom house , and the banks. Ru mors that bombs had been found near the custom house and postoflicc are denied by federal officers. BOTH BODIES ARE FOUND. Peoria Mystery Partially Cleared Up by Discovery of Remains. The body of William Patterson , who pras drowned Tuesday evening while boat riding with Lottie M. Flagg. of Galesburg , 111. , was found Friday. Later the body of Miss Flagg was found. The condition of the bodies , which were discovered "by fishermen , bears mute and awful evidence that the man's brutal passion caused the trag edy. Patterson left Virginia Beach in his shirt sleeves , and when found his vest was still upon the body , with his watch and the contents of the pockets untouched. His lower gar ments had been removed. It was with scanty sympathy that his body was dragged into shallow water close in shore and Deputy Coroner Elliott sum moned. He visited the place at once and ordered the body taken to an undertaker's. Miss Flagg was 23 years old and has a mother living in Galesburg. No one at the beach appears to know much of Patterson , who had an amusement concession there. DOZEN WOMEN ARE HURT. rallyho in AVhich Delegates to Boston Convention arc Riding Capsizes.

Amid a deafening din of steam whis tlcn and horns and the shouts of colle gians the Harvard 'varsity eight she their boat over the finish line at Nev Haven , Conn. , Thursday , winning fronr the crippled and distanced Yale crew that classic of American college aquat ics , the Harvard-Yale boat race. Bui instead of a race , Harvard finished the last mile and a half alone , while fai behind Yale limped along with bul seven men at the oars with Griswold , the stroke the man who had been relied upon to set the winning pace beut forward limp and faint from the terrific strain of the opening two miles. Up to this'unexpected climax it had been a strong struggle , worthy of the best traditions of the old antagonists and with the fitting setting of a marino spectacle such as has seldom been equalled along a regatta course for brilliancy and magnitude. For the president of the United States was tak ing keen and active interest as a cham pion of the crimson colors and al though compelled by circumstances to absent himself , the spirit of his enthu siasm was voiced by the Roosevelt family who welcomed the contest from the deck of the presidential yacht. The finish was almost in sight when suddenly commotion was observed in the Yale boat nt Griswold , the stroke , fell forward on his oar and ceased to row. Cat = s , Yale's coxswain , began dashing water into his pale face. For nearly a minute it seemed ten , the Yale stroke sat motionless as if lifeless. Then he was seen to stiaighten up and bend to his oar again and a great hout went up from the Yale cohorts ; : s their crew was seen to pick up the stroke and rally for another effort. Uut they wore now MX lengths behind , hopelessly beaten. A few strokes and Griswold was seen to collapse again and then the whole crew , disheartened nt the fall of their leader , quit their wo'rk and set dejected at their oars Vale was beaten. FOUR SCORE ARE MISSING. on the Steamer La Rache Believed to Have Perished. A special dispatch received from Co- t-unna.

Sud- lenly she ran upon a rock , but the aptain , who know the coast well , got lis vessel off. Almost immediately she an upon another rock , which was un- harted. The steamer , according to a survivor f the crew , sank within a few min- tes. The heavy sea , which was rim ing at the time , destroyed the two fe boats. Boats from the neighboring shing villages went to the rescue , but ere able to do but little for a time wing to the weather conditions , 'hey ' succeeded eventually in picking p a large number of men and women ho were floating on pieces of wreck- .

Overstreet , of the St. Louis Live Stock exchange , who addressed the Thursday afternoon ses sion of the National Live Stock ex change at South Omaha.

He said the live stock business was too large and af fected directly too large a part of the consumers of the United States and the svorld to have "small" legislative bodies ies tampering with it. The federal legislature the congress of the United States , he said , was the only body ivhich should pass laws to regulate the live stock and packing house in- lustry , as the products are almost all : urned into interstate and export com- nerce.

The matter Avas finally taken up by ollicials of all Chicago railroads and at their last session it was decided to abandon the terminal charge , as it was discovered that some horse and mule raisers were shipping their stock through points south of Chicago to avoid the terminal charge , thereby causing a decrease of rail road business into Chicago.

Rather than please its patrons tin lissouri Pacific has deliberately withdrawn telegraph operators from arious stations in southeastern Ne- raska , notwithstanding the fact that liereby it is losing a large amount of usiness. These matters were brought out in hearing before the state railway ommission of a complaint made by rain and live stock dealers at Wa- ash , who want the board to order ic telegraph station reinstated , on le ground that they have been cut ff from all market communication nd are unable to secure cars with hich to promtply dispatch shipments.

That is the franchise and ! rolling stock will be apportioned ac cording to the various lines and not according to the systems. Instead or adopting the resolution the board re ferred to it the attorney general for an opinion as to its legality , there be ing some question about it. The ter minal tax lav.- provides the rolling stock and franchise shall be appor-j tioned on a mileage basis over the sys . tern and the board is not sure that ft , can be opportioned according to tvie- ' ines which go to make up the . . - > - tern.
