THE REPORT CoRRoBoRATED.


In confirmation of the above excellent
bit OF news several prominent citizens Of
Santa Fe late this afternoon received dis
patches from friends in Washington city
making the same announcements and con-
graduating the people Of this city upon
their good luck.
IT'S TRUE! IT'S GOOD!
This order will result in making Fort
Marcy one of the the most important
military posts in the west. 1t will bring
here a whole host of officers, clerks,
etc., and new and extensive adj
ditions will have to be made
in the way of buildings to
accommodate them. AT the same time
there is no doubt but that the military
force at present here will be retained.
The New MEXICAN congratulates the
people of Santa Fe upon the good luck
that has befallen them.

TIE letter Of Peter LEM i'm the
Herald last week is well calculated to
excite antipathy of foreign born peo.
pie against us; and further, 1T is evil
dent that this article and the un-
founded attack of the Herald OIL the
same subject Il few weeks since, are
intended solely for political effect. In
each case it has been the intent to
gerrymander. us and lead citizens of
foreign birth, if possible, to believe
that we do not recognize their rights
and privileges, having no regards for
their opinions and wishes. 1t would
he utterly impossible to attempt at
placing us in a more false light before
the class of people referred to, for if
there is any one thing we believe in
more than another it is the free and
equal rights of citizens, regardless of
birth. There are just as loyal and
honorable foreign born citizens in
this country as American, and they
are found in Stark county; but the
class W. referred to in a former issue
was such as could not read, write OF
speak English and were wholly in.

an agent. But if we were misin
formed and there are none such il

what we said goes for naught.
MI. LEM places a good deal O.
stress on Mr.. Scott's position, but TO,
the gentleman's information we will
say that Mr.. Scott was succeeded il
the ownership Of the PRESS by til,
writer before the paragraph referred
to appeared and is in no way response

In conclusion let us say that we are
here to stay and people will have al
opportunity to judge for themselve
by our conduct and writings whether
OR no We intend to ignore the right
of any class or classes of people.

The Great Irish Leaders Eyosight Almost
Destroyed by His Enemies.
DUBLIN, Dec. 17.-After the riot at
Ballynahill the Parnell party drove to
Castle Conner, and Davitt and Tanner
soon made their appearance there also.
While speaking at this place another
row occurred. During the scrimmage
some
Threw IL lag of Lime at Parnell.
1t struck him full in the face, and tho
lime filled his eyes. binding him and
causing him intense pain. His carriage
was just driving away when the lime
was thrown. After riding some distance
he was obliged to alight at n laborer's
cabin in a fainting condition. A doctor
was called, but could do little to assuage
the pain. He urged that Parnell should
be driven Immediately to Kilkenny for
proper treatment. The start was made,
but Mr.. Parnell was unable to endure
the agony, and another stop had to DO
made at a hotel on the road, where
another doctor endeavored to relieve
the sufferer by applying castor oil to his
eyes and attempting to scrape off the
lime with the point of a lead pencil.
Some slight relief was thus afforded,
and Mr.. Parneli finally reached the Vic
toria hotel in Kilkenny where he had to
be led to a room, being unable to use
his eyes. A surgeon was summoned,
who states that all the lime, is removed
from the eyes, but that Mr.. Parnell is
still suffering greatly and will probably
be disabled for u time. He anticipates
that the results will not be serious.

SUGAR FROM SORGHUM.
VALUABLE DISCOVERY MADE BY THE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

A Process Perfected Whereby the Pro-
duct MAY he Doubled With n Very
Slight Increase of Expcmsc--Govern-
mcnt to Ise Asked to Make u Practical
Test of the Method.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The annual
report of the chief of the chemical di-
vision, department of agriculture, con-
tains m account of the process recently
perfected as the result of experiment in
the chemical laboratory of the depart
ment which must be of the greatest in
terest to sorghum growers and to the
people generally.
"The recent discoveries made with
reference to the manufacture of sorghum
sugar by DR.. Wiley and his assistants"
Secretary Rusk says, seem to practi-
cally solve the question of the feasibility
of the profitable manufacture of sorg-
hum sugar in this country. The de-
partment chemists claim substantially
an increase in the yield of sugar per
thousand gallons of juice Of from an
average of about 10000 pounds to an
average of over 81 ,997. at an increase of
cost of production of SS4 for the alcohol
which enters into the new process. Ac-
cording to their figures. and estimating
the sugar at 4 cents per pound. we have
a gain in profit of 1895, which is
Nearly 100 Per Cent. Increase
per thousand gallons of juice" The re-
port states that i'll order that this
method of production of sugar may be-
come possible, it will be necessary for
the revenue laws to be so modified as to
allow the preparation of the alcohol
used in the process to be carried on
without tax, the alcohol to lie made I'M
der bond given by the manufacturer
that it should be used only in the work
of manufacturing and should in no case
enter commerce for any purpose what
ever.
Attention is called to the fact that
this process having been discovered and
operated by tie chemical division of
this department, it is unpatentalle, ex-
cept by the department for the common
use of the people. Dr.. Wiley earnestly
urges that the department should at
least be permitted to itself carry Oh eN-
periments on u small scale with this
method in the experimental stations for
the Improvement OF sorghum cane AND
the manufacture therefrolm. To carry on
these experiments i'll u practical way he
estimates that q grant of 5000 would
be entirely sufficient. Secretary Rusk
cordially endorses this recommendation.
arguing that the magnitude Of the in
dustry involved is such that it does not
seem possible that any objection could
be made to this practical method Of
demonstrating the value Of the process
and the feasibility of it's practical APP

their marching equipments and be

Post Sheridan like a thunderbolt, but
the boys welcomed the orders as the
harbinger of a change from the dull

under marching orders, furloughs have
been cancelled and the dreary bent of
post life has been supplanted by the

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Among the
arrivals on the steamer San Juan Sat

paper man from New York. The Re-
public of Guatemala, he said, is be-
sieged by smallpox. He says that in
seven weeks there were LOO deaths
throughout the country, and the death
rate at last accounts was on the in
crease. Few sanitary precautions were
taken when the disease first appeared,
and the result wa that the people have
been moved down by the hundreds.
The hospitals are crowded and the ply
sicians are not numerous enough to at
tend to all the cases. There is no chol-

tiles who fled thither, and after whom
Gen. Brooke had dispatched a force. AS
it is hardly probable that Sitting Bulls
band will surrender peaceably, there
