THE SANTA FE.
How the Railroad News was Received
at Pueblo.

How the Railroad News was Received
at Pueblo.
When the Chieftain extras announced
yesterday morning that the bogus re.
ceiver of the Denver & Rio Grande had
been overthrow by the U. s. courts, the
whole city was in fever of excitement,
and the many friends of the Santa Fe
exhibited their satisfaction in various
ways. Large flags were displayed from
the principal hotels and other buildings,
and jolly parties of Santa Fe men rode
around the city in four and two horse
carriages, the horses heads decorated
with flags, and the men waving star
spangled banners and cheering them
selves hoarse. Some of the parties made
several trips between the Chieftain office
and South Pueblo, scattering numerous
extras as they went, giving the good
news. The engineers Office of the Atch-
ison, Topeka 6 Santa Fe company was
gaily decorated with flags, large pic
ture of game cock was displayed, nu-
merOus brooms were stuck up along the
roof and several joints of stove-pipe
represented great guns purporting to
have been captured from aft. McMur-
trie'' in the Grand Canon. A most dole
full looking party were Denver & Rio
Grande adherents. But few of them
could be seen, and those who did show
their faces looked as though they had
been suddenly robbed by death OF their
relatives. None of them attempted any
explanation of the situation, all being
too full for utterance.
The solid people of Pueblo, property
owners and men who have large inter
ests here, rejoice exceedingly over the
result in the courts, and feel happy that
justice has been done. That Santa Fe
rooster still lives and will sound his
stentorian notes long after the pip has
drowned forever the feeble pipings of
Palmer's NANCY chick.-Pueblo Coli

beyond which he viii not be allowed to

the public should be made aware of the
fact, and hewill have been made aware of
the fact that his residence here will be at

the whites of Williamsburg county. II,

Gen. Fremont's proposed inland sea

Gen. Stoneman, competent civil engi-

desert basin by second deluge, says

and ten feet deep, running at the rate Of
five miles per hour, two hundred years

would require river $50 feet wide, ten

MIR. s. b. AGAIN.

Information has been received by the
to indicate trouble on this side of the
line, with Sitting Bull. 1t seems that
Major Walsh, the officer commanding
the dominion forces in the neighbOrhOod
of the Sioux camps, learned of Sitting
Bulls recent raid across the border and
notified him that this was breach of
the conditions upon which the fugitives
were allowed to take refuge in Canada,
and that consequently the tribe was no
longer entitled to British protection. II
is said that Sitting Bull replied TO this
that he had crossed the line to make re-
prisals for horses that had been stolen
from his camp, and that he was as ready
to fight the Canadians as the Americans.
1t has for u long time been known that
the dominion authorities were not strong
enough TO restrain the savages, and this
may account for the dispatch of general
Miles expedition now on the way to the
border. When the fugitive Sioux first
entered Canada they were very tractable.

hausted and Terry's forces waited for
them on this side of the line. BuffalOes
were plenty on the north side of the line
and the skins Of the animals would pur.
chase ammunition. Now, that the Can
adlan buffalo herds have disappeared
and the supply of ammunition is full
the Indians are ready for another fight
Sitting Bulls insolence to the dominion
authorities leaves no doubt that he is
ready to leave that region and try his
luck again on the soil of the United
States. His coming means war and a
very desperate kind of war. Ifhe is moi
met at once with an overwhelming force
he will be very troublesome, and will
keep up the fight at least year.

THE SANTA EE INVADING MEXICO.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad, according to a private letter,
has secured from the Mexican legislature
a concession to build a road from the
United States border to Guyamas, on the
Gulf of California. Official notification
of the fact has not as yet been received
in this city. The company applied
through interested parties, to the Mexi-
can Legislature for concession to enable
a company to build a road from Guya-
mas to Ell Paso, which will be operated
in connection with the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fee. The legislature adjourn
ed on June 16, and the concession was
probably granted during the closing
days OF the session. The Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe is at present built as
far as Las Vegas, one hundred and sixteen
miles from Trinidad, and will, in case
the Mexican government has consented
to the request, be built at once to FL PasO.
Such communication to the Pacific is
several hundred miles shorter than by
any known route from New York, and
Guyamas has a most magnificent harbor.
The establishing of such a highway
would divert almost Immediately to
Guymas great portion of the China and
Japan commerce that now centers at
San Francisco. Enough is known of
the unbrOken mesa or table land, VIII ich
runs from Santa Fe to the city of Mexico,
to show that, as far down as Guyamas,
grades will be easy, the descent to the
coast being the only difficulty, and sur
veys show that it is feasible at this point.
