Praxedis.

she asked them.

Il am sorry we have not room for you
in the carriage; would like so much to

1--WE do not mind the walk, we are SO

dered, as if involuntarily, to the belfry

breakfast with the senoritas Arroyo.
Many of our friends are very kind to us. :"
''They are the aunts of Don Walter.
There are three Of them, and three of the
sisters-Dona Catalina is left at home
and they consort much together said
the Madre, after the others had gone,
smiling as if with a feeling of humor
about it. 1.-The senoritas Arroyo are
good women. They must have been very
hard to suit in their youth, or some say
their father did not wish them to marry,
and used all his influence against it.
They have rather spoiled their nephew
by want of firmness. He is too wild
colt for them to manage, though he's a
favorite of mine, too, and has many fine
qualities"
"There is Don Walter himself" ex-
claimed Luz, pointing him out

They saw Walter riding into the street
in dusty attire, beside man much older
than himself, who was mounted on a
large, powerful charger, and looked back
from time to time after number Of half
clad poems bringing along some agricul-
tural implements.
''That man looks like Il bandit said
Amy; but so did they all at first; l
suppose he is no worse than the rest"
"He has been," responded the Madre,
land l can't conceive why Walter will
associate with him.
1--WE seen the time, during my term
as governor, when should have had him
shot at moments notice, if could have
laid hands upon him." said the general,
rousing himself from his taciturnity for
the nonce to confirm this view.
"And now just because he pretended
to devote himself to the service of the
existing government in the last part Of
the troubles-it was always one for them
and two for himself, I'll warrant-they
let him settle down as a respectable
ranchero and honored member of soci-

allowed to lead a young man astray.
There's no telling what mischief they
are up to together"
Don Walter now discovered them, and
rode forward and greeted them with q
fine, deferential, yet easy air. Sonora del
Prado shook her finger at him at the first
opportunity, and taxed him with his bad

had occasion in last my message to
transmit to congress a report adopted by
the International American conference
upon the subject of the Incorporation of an
international bank with a view to faoili-
tating money exchange between the
states represented in that conference
Such an institution would greatly pro-
mote the trade we are seeking to de-
velop. ] renew the accommodation that
carful and well-guarded charter be
granted. Do not think the powers
granted should include those ordinarily
exercised by trust guaranty and safe de-
post mpanies. or that more branches
in the United States should be authorized
than are strictly necessary TO accom- plish
the object primarily in view-namely
the convenience of foreign exchanges
1t is quite important that prompt action
should be taken in this matter in order
that any appropriations for better COM
munciatiou with these countries and any
agreements that may be made for re-
ciprocal trade may not be hindered by
the Inconvenience Of making exchanges
through European money eenters or
burdened by the tribute which Ia an IN
cident OF that method of business.
The bill for the relief of district courts
has after many years of discussion
reached position when final action Is
easily attainable, and It is hoped that
any differences of opinion may be so har-
monized as to save The essential features
of this very important measure. In this
connection l earnestly renew my recon-
mendation that the realities OF the
judges of the United States district
courts be SO adjusted that none Of them
shall receive less than $4,000 per annum.
LAND GRANTS.
The subject OF the uuadjusted Spanish
and Mexican land grants and the urgent
necessity for providing some com m ssion
or tribunal for tie trial OF questions OF
title growing out of them were twice
brought by me to the attention OF con-
gress at the last session. Bills have been
reported from the proper committees In
both houses upon the subject, and I very
earnestly hope that This congress will put
an end TO the delay which has attended
the settlement of the disputes Us to titles
between settlers aud claimants under
these grants. These disputes retard the
presently and disturb the peace of large
number Of citizens. An important COM
mun,cation from the governor OF New
Mexico IN bis last report TO the secretary
of the interior suggests some modinca-

sumption as Is anywhere given TO any
food product, aud Its non-acceptance
will quite clearly reveal the real motive
of any continued restriction of their use ,
and that having been made clear the
duty Of the executive will be very plain.
SUGAR.
The Information given by the secretary
OF the progress and prospects of the beet
sugar industry is full of interest. II has
already passed the experimental stage 4,
and is a commercial success. The area
over which the sugar. beet can be sue
csssfully cultivated is very large, and
another field crop OF great value is offer ed
to the choice Of the farmer.
The secretary OF the treasury concurs
in the recon IN endation of the secretary
OF agriculture that the official supervis-
ion provided by the tariff law for sugar
of domestic productions had to be trans
ferred TO the department OF agriculture.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Ths law relating 10 civil service has,
50 far rs can learn, been executed by
those having the power Of appointment
in the classified service With fidelity and
i'm partially and the service has been in
creasingly satisfactory. The report of
the com ission shows q large amount OF
good work done during the year with
every limited appropriation.
