THE LAS VEGAS GRANT

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-Secretsry Noble
today decided the long contested case OF
the Las Vegas grant ia New Mexico. The
secretary, after careful consideration Of
was not an absolute grant TO the parties
originally named therein, but TO whom
the lands were allotted Hereunder; that
the grant was confirmed by congress to
the town of Las Vegas, and that no ques
tion would be considered as 20 the capacity
of the town to take under the conhrma-
tory act, that only such lands passed under
the grant as, having been allotted, were IN
possession of the occupants az the time the
United States acquired New Mexico, and
that a survey shall be made Of such tracts
and patent therefor issued for the town
of Las Vegas for the benefit Of those who
may be entitled to them.

States he said: That does not mean that
Mexico viii throw open her doors TO the
United States and proclaim absolute free
trade La fact it is simply an emergency
measure. There are some localities IN the
repubIic. few only. where the people are
suffering from privation, aud this measure
applies to those few localities only. Is
might be very agreeable TO Us 10 have
Mexico throw open her doors and receive
our meats, cereals and other goods wit h
out duty, but Mexico simply can't do 1t.
She is dependent on her revenues TO sup
port the government, and her new tariff
law which went into effect in November IS
protective tariff. WHAT Mexico needs
and would suit us just as we'll Is reel
procity agreement, covering certain goods
for which the two countries are mutually
dependent upon each other, and l believe
ii will not be long until an agreement OF
that kind will be effected"
CITY OF MEXICO. Dec. John K. and
W. w. Price, the millionaire contractors
OF Monterey, owing 10 the increase of tariff
ln iron, pig and bar, have placed over ,OOO
tons in their foundry and machine shops
The cost of this reaches nearly 500, 900. In
his respect it is evident that the policy OF
Mexico as evidenced by their new tariff in
admitting mining and agricultural ma
chinery free of duty and charging almost
prohibition rate on raw material, Is
working an incalculable injury to indus
tries established in the republic. This
foundry, established in Monterey, is sim
ply in its infancy, as it was intended TO in
crease its capacity so as to manufacture
articles necessary to Mexico that were pro-
tected by the former tariff. The raw ma
terial being taxed the money goes to for
eign countries. If raw material came ln
free and manufactured articles were taxed
it would greatly benefit this country. To
give an idea, pig iron is worth in the
United States S12 80 per ton; under
the new tariff it is worth $50 per
ton in the Republic of Mexico.

THE FATHEROF THE GREENgAck.

CHICAGO, Dec 5-Active preparations
are in progress here for the interment to-
morrow of one of Americas most notable
characters, Colonel Edmond d. Taylor
the man to whom President Lincoln gave
the credit of originating the greenback
currency idea. Colonel Taylor's death has
brought to light many important facts
heretofore unpublished or little known.
He it was who induced Lincoln to leave
the country store at Salem, His, and go to
Springfield and study law. The story Of
his relations with President Lincoln is
remarkable one Colonel Taylor, who
was cousin of President Zachary Taylor,
was born at Fairfield Court House, Va,
in 1902 1t was during the civil war, at
the time the governments credit with
Europe was exhausted and the soldiers
were crying for money, and the treasury
was empty, that Lincoln sent for Colonel
Taylor. The greenback currency idea was
originated, and it was a pronounced sue
cess. President Lincoln, in a letter to
Taylor, says: The scheme was the
greatest blessing the people of this re-
public ever had, and the credit is due to
you, the father of the present greenback."

THE CHINESE REBELS.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dispatch received to-
day from Pekin says that the viceroy, Lii
Hung Chang, who is moving with all pos
sible promptitude to put an end to the
trouble, is massng his forces in the direc-
tion of Manchuria. His object is to make
a forward movement against the enemy
and, if possible, surround them. There is
strong probability. too, that the rebels
will find themselves in trouble. growing
out OF the recent murder OF a Mongolian
prince. The Mongolians are furious and
threats of vengeance are freely made
PARIS, Dec. 5.-The Chinese legation in
this city has received an official dispatch to
the effect that on the night Of Nov. Is two
secret societies, named Tsinthan and
Tsaili, composed of emigrants from China
proper, proceeded to Mongolia and in
augurated Il revolt against foreigners and
Christians in the district of Tischayoyang
in the province of Jehol. According to the
latest estimate, from 800 to 500 Christians,
several native priests, a Mongolian prince
and some converted natives were 1nassa-
cred. Many of the churches were pillaged
and burned, especially in the towns of
Tsientchang and Bingsutin. The en-
peror on learning of the uprising ordered
troops to the scene of the revo t. The first
engagement between the troops and the
rebels took place on Nov. %, the rebels be-
ing defeated. The rebels are unable to
count on the inhabitants and it is likely
that they will be soon suppressed.

DOM PEpRO,s LAST HOURS.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-Dom Pedro was con-
scious to the end. At almost the last mo-
ment he exhorted the Countess Deu, his
daughter, and formerly heiress apparent
to the Brazilian throne, to bear up against
sorrow and to pray with him for the
greatness and prosperity of Brazil. The
Countess Deu has no present intention to
protest to the Brazilian government
against her exile from that country, but
she maintains all her rights in connection
with the crown. She says that she is
ready to return to Brazil at the first sum-
mons sent to her.

Mr. Burrows, in presenting the name of

that the time is near at hand when the
work of the Fifty first congress will meet
the endorsement and approval Of the

"That congress revised the tariff in the

reucy by the full volume of our silver

of Thomas B. Reed for the speakership of

The nomination was agreed to by accla-
nation, and Mr.. Reed made brief speech
in recognition of the honor. The Republi-
can party, he said, was suffering from a
setback only. and would soon
resume its place in the affections of the
people
The minor officers who served during the

Seven Children, Each Of Whom Has Some
Striking Physical Popularity.

ADRIAN, Mich, Jan. 26-Albert Ross, of
Munson, this county, is the father of seven
children. all bright and comely, but queer
enough to start o dime museum of freaks.
The eldest boy has thirteen fingers and
thirteen toes. The next youngest son can
not speak unless he jerks his arms and legs
about after the manner of windmill The
third boy is deaf and dumb, but apparent
~ boneless, and can twist himself in any
shape. The eldest girl is hunchbacked, but
q great talker. while the next youngest
daughter has birthmark around the neck
and wrists just two inches wide. and of q
bright scarlet. The youngest are twins,
and queeriy marked. They are three
months old. and the boy. VINO is very fat.
weighing forty pounds. has hair like
Circassian IN a sIde-sbow, but his twin sis
ter Is entirely bald. The queer feature of
the twins Is that they do not laugh or cry
at the same time. one always crying while
the other laughs. The girl can hardly be
heard. while the boy has a tremendous bass
voice that nearly drives his parents dis
tracted. The Ross family is fairly weli-to-
do.

Wires Nearly All Down Around Phfladelphis
Harrisburg Cut on, Except By Telephone.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26--The telegraph
situation here this morning was not at all
improved over that of last night. The
Western Union has no wires working in
any direction. Manager A. G. Sayler said
at IL o'clock that the outlook was not
promising. though there was q possibility
of patching mp q communication with Bal
timore some time during the afternoon,
and that Washington might then also be
reached. There was very little hope, he
said, of opening any communication to-day
with points west of here, the storm having
been particularly destructive in the
section of country between Philadelphia
and Harrisburg. Many poles have been
torn down or blown out of position, and
considerable time will be required to repair
the damage sufficiently to open up COM
munication. The following was received
from Harrisburg by telephone: "All the
wires leading from the State Capitol are
down. except the one to Reading. and Har-
rlsburg has no other communication with
the rest of the world whatever. The Penn
sylvania railroad wires and those of the
Western Union, are down. and it is not
known how soon they will be repaired"
of Saturday night and yesterday morning
was very severe. Throughout the whole of
that section of the State there is no COM
munication by telegraph or local telephone,
wires all being grounded. Electric light
wires are down and the city is in darkness.

DEs MONIES. Ia. Jan. 26.-Two more men
were arrested last night, charged with be-
ing members of the gang of counterfeiters
unearthed in this city Saturday. When
the police at that time arrested Matt Mer-
ritt, his wife and William Frow, having
found at their residence all of a counter
feiter's paraphernalia. together with a con-
siderable sum of counterfeit money. it was
supposed they had all who were impli Gated
but later developments show that they
were 0nlv the ringleaders of an organized
band who have been workin q all over Iowa.
Their speciality was the manufacture of
quartz. and half dollars. and they were
making q very good article of money. The
money found at the residence in this city
was a great deal better, in the opinion of
experts, than the average counterfeit.
