LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 24-The Republi-

The delegates and their friends crowd the
hotels and streets and talk of nothing but
politics. There is decided sentiment in
the convention in favor of Blaine, but
the only way in which it is expressed is
by wild cheers when the plumed knight is

Omaha as the place for holding the ma
tional convention next year.

their salary from the Key company, and
on Monday John Boyle filed lien for
$5,207 for salary for thirty-three months

will allow their mine and mill sold to
satisfy liens which will not at the outside

but if so there is more than enough prop

THE UNION PACIFIC ROAD.
4 Giant to Invade Central New Mexico
True Inwardness of the El PasO
Convention.

1t comes to the New MEXICAN to-day
from very trustworthy sources that the
true significance of the move to build
new railway through New Mexico from
Trinidad to Ell Paso via Las Vegas and
White Oaks, lies in the fact that no less
a parsonage than Jay Gould himself is
back of it. The wizard of Wall street
controls the Union Pacific, which has a
line from Trinidad to Catskill, in Cofax
county, and when he was at Ell Paso two
years ago he had parties so manipulate
things as to get the control OF the Ell Paso-
White Oaks franchise. Thus Mr.. Gould
owns both ends of the proposed new line
now, and it is said his money will COM
plete the road after the cities and towns
to be benefited thereby put up the money
for finishing the survey. This the dele
gates to the Ell Paso convention have
agreed to. The cost of survey will
amount to 10000, and the conven-
ton yesterday received pledges that
this would be raised as follows Denver,
~, 900; Pueblo, 81 800; Trinidad, - 900 /;
Las Vegas, $1,000; Maxwell land grant,
81, 800; White Oaks, 81, 200. Manager M.
2. Pels, of the Maxwell grant, was pres.
ent at the convention and pledged not
only his pro rata of $1,000, but free right
of way from Trinidad through the grant,
which is four-ffths OF the distance to Las
Vegas, and also gives the road all the
timber required for constructing its line.
The Las Vegas people will also give free
right of way and Lincoln county will do
likewise. 1t is expected to have an en-
gineering corps in the field in fifteen days.

Failed.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The announcement
OF the assignment and suspension of S.
V. White & Co., of New York and Chi
cago, was made on the stock exchange
Yesterday. The liabilities of the firm are
very large. The cause of the trouble is
due wholly to decline in corn. The house
had been heavily long of September and
October corn, and the immense receipts
were TO much for it to stand.
The private fortune of S. V. White, so
long noted for lie success and boldness
of his speculative deals, is estimated at
s., 100000.

fhe President of the Swiss Republic In
its Six Hundredth Year.

The chief official parsonage of Switzer-
land is DR.. Welt, of Glarus, president OF
the "Bundesrath" or federal council of
the Swiss republic. It must be very inter-
esting for Americans to know something
Of the methods of the executive of gov
ernment that has been republic since
1891. The Swiss presidents authority
does not resemble that of president OF
the United States or president of the
French republic. The Swiss president is
comparatively unimportant office, yet
The Swiss claim that theirs is freer gov
ernment. The Swiss constitution vests the
supreme executive power in the Bundles
rath collectively, which consists of seven
members appointed for three years by the
general assembly. To the federal coun-
cilors severally are allotted the different
departments, namely, the foreign office,
the home office, department oil justice, the
army, the finance and custom, the depart
ment of agriculture, manufactures and
trade and the postoffice and railroad
department. The president and vice.
president elected for one year only and
not re-eligible for the second year, do not
appoint or control these ministers or
councillors, but carries out the DEGREES of
the council as nominal heads of the con-
federation during their term of office.
They have voice in celebrating on its
policy, but less real power than the prime
minister of kingdom with parliamentary
government. The president receives
salary of 5000 year. The federal parlia-
ment consists Of a senate and house of
The senate Is composed
of two members from each canton and
the lower house has 147 members, who
are directly elected on the basis OF one
for 10000 of population.
Many of the cantons have also their own
Legislature for domestic affairs. In several
cantons every new law or measure of gov
ernrneDt must be submitted to the direct
vote of the people assem- bled for the occa-
sion. There are twenty-five cantons in
Switzerland, with a population of 3,000,-

The Mountain Key Disaster,

The Mountain Key Mining company,
stock-jobbing st. Louis corporation, has
failed, and carried down with it the Plnos
Altos Mercantile company. M. W. Neff,
of Silver City, is the assignee. The Sen
tinel says
The total assets of the Pnos Altos
Mercantile company foot up $30,2S7, Of
which amount the Mountain Key COM
pany owes them $23,50O. This $23, 900 is
to all intents and purposes total loss.
Deducting the Key indebtedness of $685.
500 from the gross assets leaves $6,77S as
the appraised valuation Of the stock of the
company, which is about fifty per cent.
of it's market value were the company
still running. The liabilities are $l1 900,
including special deposits, which will be
paid in full.

Hard Times In Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 24.-Reports re-
ceived from Tambof and its adjacent
provinces announce that the Zemstves
have provided for the Resolving of land
and to furnish supplies of grain until Jan
uary next. After that date there will be
the greatest difficulty to secure food for
the people. AS the collection in towns is
impossible, the salaries of local admins
tratve bodies have necessarily been sus-
pended. Even if the funds to supply
grain are obtained, the distribution, hich
would be over wide famine districts, will
be difficult, and the maintainance of hos
pitals, schools and asylums is doubtful.
The scarcity of oats and hay is compelling
the farmers to sell their live stock at mock
prices. For instance, horse for roub-
les, a COW for roubles and colts for from
20 to 80 kopecs. After recent county fair
in district the skeletons Of 40 horses
were found by the road side. The ami
mails had been killed for their skins.
Destitution is also staring in the face
large number of people who have been
employed upon public works as work on
the latter must stop when the frosts be-
gin. The masses of the people rely en-
tirely upon the government to help The.
This being the state of affairs in the pres
ent mild weather, the gloomy prospect in
winter can be imagined.
Munchausen Outdone.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-Munchausen
appears to be outdone if the story of
Samuel w. Thornton and his sister-in-
law, Eva Jewett, is true. This couple
went bathing at Coney Island August q
and were never seen after entering the
surf. Their clothing was unclaimed and
the supposition was INDUCED that they
were washed out to sea and drowned.
Yesterday came story from Juckson-
vile, Fla, stating that the couple had
been carried out to sea. The man could
swim, but the woman could not. By the
aid of providential log they foated until
rescued in an exhausted condition by the
crew of Spanish vessel and landed after
thirteen days sail near the mouth of st,
Johns river. They made their way to
Jacksonville and yesterday kept the wires
hot with appeals to the mans brother in
this city for money to aid them to return.
The brother has his doubts, however, and
is investigating the identity Of the parties.

How Not to Fall.

"Why doesn't a bicycle rider
alwas upset, you ask" repeated q
student of the wheel in reply to a
question.
"Let me tell you. Let us sup
pose a 'cyclist mounted on his
wheel and riding, say toward the
north. He finds himself beginning
to tilt toward his right. He Is
now going not only north with the
machine, but east also. He turns
the wheel eastward. The point of
support must of necessity travel in
the plane of the wheel, hence it at
once begins to go eastward, and as
it moves much faster than the rider
tits, it quickly gets under him and
the machine is again upright. To
one standing at a distance in front
or rear, the bottom of the wheel
will be seen to move to the right
and left. l conclude then that the
stability of the bicycle is due to
turning the wheel to the right OF
left, whichever way the leaning is,
and thus keeping the point of sup
port under the rider, just as a boy
keeps upright on his finger a
broomstick standing on its small
est end.D

The Prices in Grain.

Men can be stampeded like horses.
1t is so in warfare, trade, religion,
politics and everything else. The
grain gamblers at Chicago have
furnished an instance of it. Re-
Gently, with but little warrant for
it, they ran up the prices of wheat
three or four cents every day.
Some cable messages were recelv-
ed stating that the wheat crop in
Europe would be small, and on the
strength of those dispatches every.
body got very much excited, and
away went the wheat.
The balloon has burst, and
wheat is coming down as fast as il
went up. There was nothing in
the first place to sustain such an
advance, and as soon as buyers
recovered their senses they refused
to give the exorbant price asked

WI HEAR a great deal from Re-
publicans about what the McKin-
ley bill did for the farmers in the
way of enhancing the price of
eggs. The Produce Trade Reporter
says OF this matter:
"As far as the prices of eggs and
the Mckinley bill are concerned,
the facts show that the United
States government is benefited, but
we tail to see where we, as a nation
and egg-consuming people, derive
any advantage, for the 2 to PIP
cents the farmer may get more for
each dozen eggs the balance of the
population must make good, and
where the American government
secures a duty of 5 cents for 16
million dozen, or $500, coo the
American consumer is obliged to
pay 2 to 2 IL cents, or about S13,-
800 600 more on $50 million dozen
that we annually use. 1t may be
wise to rob the American people OF
over $13 600, 600 to secure but $780,.
600 for the American government,
but who will follow such a policy
in his own business?
And although the American far.
mel may derive a temporary ben.
eft of 2 to 2 IL cents on each
dozen eggs, there can hardly be any
doubt that the American consumer
(who must partly pay the increase, >
the manufacturer, merchant, etc.
will find some way to turn the bal.
ance of trade in his favor by in.
creasing prices of merchandise,
and instead of q gamer, the farme,
is q loser to the extent of 5 cents
for every 2 to 2 IL cents on each
dozen eggs he may gain. But where
does the benefit come in for US all
a. citizens of one and the same
nation?"
