Blaine "a Strong Advocate of Silver.
New YORK, January 22d-The Egening
Post having charged that Blaine never had
any convictions on the silver issue but was
probably preparing 10 straddle the ques-
ton. the San reminds it that Blaine eight
years ago made speech in the Senate IA
voring silver money and opposing the
single gold standard. The W0riGs Wash
ington special partially confirms the state
ment that Blaine, in the second volume of
his book, takes strong ground favOring sill
yer coinage, and says the news to this effect
gratifies the Democrats and Republicans
who advocate silver.

as produced b. the American Opera COM
pany, achieved distinct success, the crit
les say. No opera has ever been put on
the stage before with such gorgeous sur
rourdings. 1t had been in preparation

tunes cost many thousands of dollars. So

An Apache-Cur Region.
Ell PAso CTex.) January 22d.-Travelers
from southern New Mexico and southern
Arizona report that these sections of coun-
try are completely demoralized by the con-
tinued presence of Inarauding Apache
bands. Raids and murders have become
such an old story that they have ceased TO
excite attention, and in many instances
they are not reported TO the public press.
The population is mainly concentrated in
the towns and villages as it is decidedly
unsafe to leave them and venture out into
the open country. 1t will take several
years for that country to recover from the
damage already inflicted. The value of
mining and ranch property has decreased
to the lowest ebb, and many improvements
have been definitely abandoned. In the
opinion of the people there, who are i'm
mediately and vitality interested, the only
salvation possible lies in the breaking up
of the existing reservation, and the moving
of the Indians to Indian re, ritory.

Flood Feared Along the Rio Grande.
Ell PAso Tex, January 22d-The i'm
mense masses of snow that have fallen this
winter in southern Colorado. and more par
ticularlv in the San Juan country, where
the Rio Grande has its source, has created
feeling of considerable uneasiness among
the dwellers along its banks in New Mexico

tremendous overflow of two years ago has
not yet been forgotten, and "A repetition is
very much dreaded. The railroads run
ming along the banks of the river have.
since the overflow, strengthened their road
beds at all exposed points, and are in a
better condition to meet flood than they
were two years ago but at best they would
still be in danger if the river should rise
very high this summer. There are already
some slight symptoms of a coming rise
for which the agriculturists of the Rio
Grande are but iil-pFepared. With greater
influx of population into the valley it will
be necessary 10 contine the river by levees,
as is done along the Mississippi.
