NEW YORK. May 1.-THE failure to reorgan-
ize the Interstate Railway Association on
Saturday and the adjournment of the meeting
without practical results created feeling Of
despondency among the holders of the West
ern stocks this morning, and there was liberal
selling of some of those specialities during the
day. The bears hailed the adjournment as the
signal for the end of the advancing market,
and did not fail to add their influence to the
selling of long stocks among the Western
roads.
The bullish feeling here, however. runs so
high that there was no disposition to let the
Generalization in that part of the country ins
terfere with the well-known prosperity of the
remainder OF the country, and other stocks
'still showed marked strength. the Vanderbilts

was active and irregular with considerable

Small Lay-Down Causes nm Advance In
the Market.
The first lay-down on the Oil Exchange for q
long time occurred yesterday, which was off,
cially announced as follows: III. ]. Smith has
been suspended from this Exchange for nom
fulfllment of contract" The cause of the
mishap was an attack of shorts, resulting
from an attempt to bull the market ON the
wrong side.
AS consequence of the lay-down 7S 900 bar
rels, the amount of the failure were bought
in under the rules. That trouble was brewing
was known beforehand by some, and they
started in to buy Immediately after the open
ing. This run the market up N cents. 1t sub
sequently weakened, but recovered and closed
steady at next to the highest point of the day.
The range was: Opening $50, highest S63I,
lowest S5h closing S6E.
Mr.. Smith, whose misfortune is referred to
above. was one of the most active members OF
theExchange with which he had been connected
for three or four years. He was at one time with
the firm OF Roseburg Dilworth. The total
of his liabilities will not exceed 81 900 or S. OOO
and possibly not so much. 1t is thought by
some who are in position to know that he
will settle in full. He has many friends who
would be glad to see him reinstated on Change

Another Murder.

Last evening Mexican came in- to town and announced to Justice Richards that the body of a man had been found at point near the red hills, about half way between the Hole-in-the- Rock and the Cross cut canal. All the the flesh was gone from the bones, not a scrap of clothing remaining to give a clue to the identity of the unfortunate.
 Murder was the very evident cause of death, for the back of the skull had been smashed by means of some blunt instrument.
 The Mexican was unable to give any facts other than stated above.
 The finding of a body at this point is significant, for it was near there that Oscar Gibbs found the bodies of his two horses, tied, dead of starvation. There may be some connection between the theft of the horses and this dead man.
 A coronersjury will investigate the matter to-dav.-Rt publican.

THE San Francisco Chronicle, in speaking of the Santa Fe surveys, says: It is understood that the en- gineer corps of the Atchison, Tope- ka and Santa Fe has completed a survey from Mojave to the Tejon pass.

He predicts, independent ot the San Francisco system, that the gross earnings of the Santa Fe for the year will be more than $36,000,000, as against s2S,OOO,OOO in 1889, equal to a net earning of $12,000,000. He says the rate cutting does not seem to affect the Santa Fe 10 any great extent, and it's long hauls and natural growth of the country and good management are the cause of prosperity.

\ Marvellous Find.

The Journal Miner tells a very interesting story of the discovery in the vicinity of Prescott, of a mine which is apparently relic of the stone age. 1t says:
 For a distance of about 30 feet along the ledge, and to a considera- ble depth, the work of taking out the ore had been prosecuted, and must have been a very slow and te- dious process, as the rock is very hard. The great number of stone axes of all sizes and shapes and al- SO the remains ofother implements of the same material, show that they had long and diligently work ed this mine to have accomplished the amount Of excavation doae, but which, by the aid of steel and giant powder, a couple of our mod ern miners could have accomplish ed in q couple of months. The orig inal locators of the property seem to have worked 1t with a view of taking out a rich pocket of free gold after exhausting which they appa- rently quit work and carefully con cealed all evidence of what mining had been done by them by filling up the excavations. All ore not showing gold was discarded, and out of the dump thus formed pieces can anywhere be taken as aying from S775 to $lO0 in gold and sil- yer"

The Proposed Western Land Court

Denver, July 14.-A special from Washington says: The senate is again discussing the bill for the creating of q court for the adjust ment of Mexican land grant diff cultics, and 1t is presumed that It will soon dispose of it, Many west ern senators and others are dissat- iSlied with the amendments to the bill made by Senator Edmunds and the judiciary committee, which they say will impair it's usefulness to a great extent if they do not de- .oy it. One of these amendments provides for a rehcaring of all cases by the supreme court, and the ex animation of witnesses. If the Olil becomes a law with this provision included, the cost of the work to be donewill be very great and the usefulness of the bill greatly yrim- paired.

Pan American Road.

Brownsville, Tex, July 12.-The first practical step towards the great Pan American Railway from North to South America was taken here to-day. Ground was broken for the Corpus Christi and South American Railway. The first division is one hundred and fifty miles long and extends iron Rio Grande to Corpus Christi, at which point 1t connects with the railway systems of the United States. The Rio Grande is to be bridged from here to Mata- moras, and the line extended first to the City of Mexico, over a route several miles shorter from St. Louis, Chicago or New York than any eX- isting line. From the City of Mex ico it will be continued south to the Guatemalan line and leyond.

Robbers Big Haul.

Jamestown, N. D., July 12.-On the night of June 7th last the North ern Pacific train was boarde l near New Salem, \. D., by two mlsked men who got away with several pouches of registered mail matter. One of the robbers was afterward captured. 1t is believed the robbers got away with nearly $j0,0Q0,
 Postal inspectors have searched nver the ground where they caught the robber, and found, in torn bits and ragged pieces, large amount of currency, including one bill of 5000. A bundle had been drop ped by the robbers in their haste. and coyotes or gophers had torn and separated the money and the wind scattered it. The amount re covered by the inspectors is not dis closed, but 1t runs into the thous- anis.

TIE decision of the Supreme court which conGscated the proper ty of the Mormon Church in Utah to the United States is thus com mented on by an exchange: "Where does the Supreme Court or Congress obtain the power to contiscate prop erty of anybody in time of peace or of perpetual confscation at any time or under any conditions? If they can confscate the property of the Mormon church on any unsup- ported allegation 1t may allcge, it can with as good reason confscate the property ot the Catholic, the Jewish, or any Protestant church in the same way. We have fallen upon evil times when any government authority can, without public pro- test, by its simple ipse dixit take away the property of any society or individual, and permanently divert to other uses as a punishment for religious belief, and in contraven- ton of q positive constitutional in- terdiction. The people of the Uni ted States can hardly afford that their government shall put itself in the attitude of a public robbcr, on religious or any other grounds"
