CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 10.-Vicente Loalza,
an agent of sewing machine company
whose headquarters are in Taluca, came ia
this city to-day and told a most remarkable
story. He says that he had occasion To
visit town twenty-five leagues south OF
Taluca, and last Monday small mountain
or high hill, about half way between the
towns of Tenancingo and Tecualoya with
out warning, exploded with most terrific
report. Immediately an immense volume
of water commenced to flow from the newly
formed crater, and inundated much Of the
surrounding country. The Indians fed to
the hills, and the church bells in the sur
general panic ensued.
The water soon found its level and poured
through gorge $50 feet deep and continued
so to flow until the next day, when MIR. Lo-
aiza left.
The inhabitants were so frightened that
they would not approach the stream. Lo-
aiza did not take the temperature of the
water, but suppOseS it was hot, as he Sawa
vapor rising from it on a warm day. The
volume of water was SO great that it ca.-
ried away two high bridges which crossed
the rayine above the high water mark. The
crater formed by the explosion was quite
large, and rock and earth were scattered
far and wide.
LoaiZa is not scientific man, but is in
telligent, and is one of the most successful
statesmen of the company, by which he Is
regarded as thoroughly reliable man.

Judge Goodrich on the Alien
Land Law.
TWO FUNDAMENTAL DEFECTS.
The Caption is Insufficient and It is in Conflict
With Existing Treaties.

Special TO the Gazetre

Waco, TEX, Oct. 10.-The suit styled
State of Texas VS.. Theo Mallinson went to
trial yesterday and closed to-day. The
action was brought to test the validity of
the alien land law. The defendent is sub
ject of Great Britain and declines 20 take
out his papers AS citizen of Uncle Sam
Judge Goodrich has given his decision.
He held that the law is void and IN
constitutional Its caption is insufficient
and it is in conflict with existing treaties
with other powers.
The defendant, who is an alien. bought
land in McLennan county since the alien
land law went into effect. Suit was brought
by the county attorney under the law to
dispossess him and escheat the land to the
state. The defense, which was made by
eX-District Judge Eugepe Williams, alleged
that the caption of the law does not comply
with the constitution, that it conflicted
with treaty arrangements between the
United States and Salvador, a defect touch
ing the integrity of the entire law, that it
violates Ethe obligations of contracts and
that at most the land can only revert to the
granter-not to the state. The whole issue
involving the rights of a foreign mortgage
holder to purchase under his mortgage was
raised and decided in the case adversely to
the law
This fortunate elimination of the case
will no doubt do much to speedily retrieve
the disastrous effects of the law upon
Texas interests.

To the Impatient policy-Ho1ders.

Perhaps the policy-holder sometimes
grows FESTIVE under the regular recurrence
of premium day. and thinks it is all outlay
and no income to the man who carries lie
insurance. That he should occasionally
have such thought is not impossible. and
he need not be criticised therefor. To
sometimes weary in well-doing is human
attribute: to be doubtful if the best assured
future is worth all the toll and patience of
the immediate present is what any man
may sometimes, and most men often, do.
But there is actually less reason to question
the future in connection with his life insur-
ance than any other enterprise with which
a man can be identified. The outcome of
that, at least, is al fixed certainty. Every
day brings just one day nearer the time
when the company must pay the full sum
agreed upon eli her to the policy-holder him.
self or to his family. Every premium he
pays makes with absolute surety one less
that he has to pay, and may really be the

Raum and His Critics.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. GA mistake which
most of the critics of the management OF
the pension Office make is in assuming that
the president stands in just the same rela-
ton to Commissioner Raum as to some of
the other functionarieS of equal rank in the
government service, and would therefore
feel equally willing to believe all
that is said to his discredit.
This is not the case. Gen. Raum was
largely the presidents own choice for the
commissiOnership and Harrison is naturally
loath to admit outright that he made mis-
take. Another fact which draws the two
men into more sympathetic relations than
they might otherwise have held, is that
goodly share of the cenSure
that has been heaped upon Raum has been
due to the performance of his son, and the
president knows by experience what it is
TO be whipped across the shoulders of
member of his own family for sins which
he actually did not commit himself. In
Raum'S case, however, the trouble consists
not in his sons mere lack of wit,
but in the constantly accommodating heap
of testimony showing the young mans
venality. The commissioner takes refuge
in the fact that thus far all the evidence
has been circumstantial, no witnesses hay
ing come forward with the testimony that
they have actually paid their money into
young Raum's hands. 1t would be well,
however, for him not to stretch public pa
thence far, as there are other witnesses still
to be heard, who have not yet
been even named in connection
with the scandals, whose testimony
will have to be dragged from them, because
they will keep silence as long as they dare.
Their revelations will be all the more dam
aging on account of being made SO re-
luctantly There is one case, for exam
pie, within the knowledge of several
persons here of a clerk who was
transferred from another department to the
interior and the pension Office, and who
frankly admitted to his near friends that
he procured the change through the good
Offices of young Raum, and got his salary
raised a couple of hundred dollars, also
through the young mans aid. Surely
enough, on the very date when he had pre-
dicted his promotion would take place, it
did, and the figures OF his new salary were
just what he had set them at

The Force Bill.

Senator German is one of the ablest, if
not the ablest, of the Democratic leaders.
In speech. opening the campaign in Mary
land. he said, in speaking of the force bill /:
That bill will come again if Harrison is
reelected. Do not mistake the signs of the
times. Massachusetts, has Lodge, who in
troduced the bill, as chairman of its Repub-
ican convention; its resolve was for the
force bill. Ohio and every Re-
publican state has acted for it.
The Republican party is irrevoca-
bly, committed to it. Their very existence
depends upon it. That question is above
taxes and extravaganza. 1t determines the
question Of the continuance of the form of
government under which we live
This is absolutely the truth, and those
Democrats who are talking about tariff and
silver law, and other minor questions of
that kind, should follow the lead of their
most able politician, the man who pre-
vented the passage of this law in the Fifty
first congress. AL other questions are Of
but minor importance.

conner, United States immigrant in

he heard many reports during his stay

the lower classes of MeXicans in the States
of Chihuahua and Durango, there can
be no doubt. There are about
400 people seeking employment
on the railroad extension between
Torreon and Durango. These men and
their families are half starved and in utter

off the hungry horde. Those who have been

Taken to the Penitentiary-How tbs
Wise County Prisoners Had Planned

Special to the Gazette.

DECATUR, WISE COUNTY. Tex, Oct. O.
Special Agent Lucien Truitt was in the city
to-day for the purpose of conveying Bob
Campbell to the penitentiary. While at
the depot, before the arrival of the train,
Campbell told the officers that the
prisoners had broken the bars through
one of the cells and would
have escaped before morning. The officers
hurried back to the jail and found two bars
broken out OF the cell and a hole large
enough for man to crawl through. There
are eight or ten prisoners in the Jail, some
of whom are tough citizens and desperate,
and they will take any risk to escape. The
jail is very insecure and the officers ara
very careful in guarding it. Some Of the
prisoners will be shackled till the Jail Is 70

1907, on the 18th of March, the bill
passed and the slave trade was abol-

wrongs that were the results of slav-

land. Petitions poured into parli-

14th Of MAY, Lord Stanley. minister OF
the colonies introduced into the house

and TO acquire thereby all the rights
and privileges of freemen, subject TO

the apprenticeship system and adopted
absolute emancipation. In the other
islands The apprenticeship was accept
ed but lis abuse during the first few
years by the planters compelled such
measures 10 be taken that on the lst OF
August, 1888, the shackles dropped
from every British slave.
1t is deeply interesting to know how
this was received by The slaves. They
were called together by The mission
aries and by the plantres and the news
explained TO them. On the night OF
the 3lst July they met everywhere at
their churches and chapels, and at
midnight when The clock struck II

From The story already told of The
