New Mexican Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS Hon. Edmund
G. Ross, governor of New Mexico, in his
annual report to the secretary of the in
terror, says: During the first half Of this
calendar year New Mexico. in common
with the West generally. was afflicted with
unusual .drouth, In consequence of which
the cattle industry suffered serious dam
ago. Agriculture and mining also suffered.
though In n much less degree, from the
scarcity of water. Since early in .Julv
however, the usual beginning of what i
known as the rainy season. rains have
been unusually abundant. Feed on the
ranges is good, with stock water in good
supply and convenient, and stock is ran
idly getting into excellent condition for
winter. Agriculture, too. has been effect
ually benefited, and crops OF all kinds will
be fully up to the average in quality and
yield per acre, while the increase has
been largely increased over that Of former
years.
On the subject of land titles and land
frauds, the governor says: 1t is undenia-
BILE as shown by Investigations of the sur
veyor general. that very large areas of
public lands amounting TO many hundreds
OF thousands OF acres have been illegally
n traudulently absorbed In pretended
Spanish and Mexican grants, and that
many thousands Of acres of public lands
are still inclosed by private fences, and
otherwise held in great cattle ranges. to
the exclusion of small farmers, in defiance
not only of law, but of private right to the
common occupancy and use of the public
domain. The governor refers to the
presence Of great landed estates that have
been developed in the larger Spanish
grants as a serious and threatening evil to
tie welfare OF the territory, and concludes
by suggesting TO congress to prohibit the
alien ownership Of lands. He expressed
his satisfaction at the result Of Gen.
Miles campaign against the renegade
Apaches, and adds that all fear OF Indian
disturbances in New Mexico is forever
settled. The increase Of taxable property
during the year, is some 81. 800. 900.
The amount OF assessment for 1886 being
$50. 00O, 900. A growing interest is being
manifested BY all the people Of the terri
tory in educational matters.

BosToN, Oct. ls.-The t~wenty-nine
and one-halt foet python which recently
got away in the city hall park, New York,
again escaped this morning while being
transferred from his box to a cage at
Austin 4 Stones museum here. Crawl
ing under the stage, the snake broke away
several boards, entered the cellar, got into
the cold air box of the furnace and burst
open its sides, bricks flying in all direc-
tons. -Four men seized him and after a
terrible struggle lasting an hour and a
half, they succeeded in caging him. Dur
ing the fight the python wound himself
around two thick ioists and snapped them
IS easily as if they were only pipestems.
He bit one man in the wrist and squeezed
the breath out of another by tanning him
against the wall.

The Strike Settled.

CHICAGO, Oct. lS.-The strike Of pack
ing house workmen was formally ended
this afternoon. The strikers held a mass
meeting on the prairie. about 3 o'clock, at
which between 1000 and 4,UOO we're
present. A proposition to return to work
IN the ten hour plan was adopted almost
unanimously and the strike declared at an
end. Shortly afterward Barry, Knight Of
Labor delegate, waited on Armour and
said that the strike was at an end, and
tina the men would return to morrow
msrning without making any conditions.
The packing house owners will keep all
their new men, and by running the houses
up to their full capacity expec; to be able
TO retain in their employ nearly all their
old men. This evening. Armour to stand
by his old men, made the assertion that
packers could better make concessions TO
beef than to pork men. aud instructed
his manager to give all beef men who re-
turned to- morrow an advance Of SO cents
pei day over the old rate.
Some time after the strike was declared
at an end the announcement was made
that the packers had adopted the winter
schedule of wages, to go into effect i'm
med'ately. This Is equivalent to a tenn
porary advance Of 10 per cent. The scale
ordinarily does not take effect until the
middle of November.

WASHINGTON. Oct. lS.-The supreme
court OF the United States leassembled at
noon to day and without rendering any
decision took up the land grant case Of
the Kansas City, Lawrence 4 Southern
Railroad company against b III. Brews
ter, attorney general. brought here by ap-
peal frrm the United States Circuit
Court for the district of Kansas and ad-
vanced on the docket by reason of the
Importance Of the questions at issue.
Judge McCrany, counsel for the appel
ant, asked the court Tor an extension of
time, which was granted, and Mr.. A. s.
Britton, also COUNSEL for appellant. opened
the argument.
By the bill of complaint in this case, the
United States claims as against the defend
ant (appellants In court) the titles of 3d.
1888 acres situated in Allen county Kansas.
These lands are all in odd sections over
tapping twenty miles in limits of the
rants made by acts of congress of March
3, 1868, and July 26, 1866, to the state
Of Kansas to aid in the construction VI
railroads along certain defined routes on
which the defendant COMPANY by its
former name, Lcavenworth, Lawrence
burg x Galveston company, and the
Missouri. Kansas a. Texas Railway com
pany, constructed their several roads.
These two roads have widely separated
initial points, viz Lawrence and juno.
ton City, at or near Fort Riley. but come
together down the valley Of the Neosho
river and cross each other at the town of
Chanute, near the lands in controversy.
These lands are now claimed BY the
railroad company, and persons deriving
title through that company and by settlers
under the homestead laws of the United
States. On the other side, the United
States circuit court where the case was
tried, he'd:
First-rhat the grants of 1863 and 1856
we're wholly distinct.
Second-That the Neosho Valley road
had not been constructed under the grant
of 1868, and hence the legal title asserted
Hereunder must fall.
Third-That the construction of the
Missouri, Kansas x Texas company under
the grant of 1866. and the selection of THE
lands in suit by that company under the
grant did not give an equitable title, be-
cause the lands hus selected had never
been indicated by the secretary of the in
terror as the act required.
These conclusions are assigned for erroi
in this court by the counsel for appellants
In the argument to day Mr.. Britton wa
followed by Mr.. William Lawrence 70
appellee and Mr.. John f. Dillon for ap
