A REMARKABLE STORY,
The Great Desert of the Colorado Mys
teriOusly Filling up With
Water,

Tucson, A. T., July IA Star special
from Yuma, says: The Colorado desert
basin, at Salton, sixty miles west of
Yuma, is rapidly filling up with fresh
water from a subterranean passage, be-
lieved to be connected with the Colorado
river, caused by the high water of last
February. At last advices, the desert
was converted into lake five miles wide.
The machinery is being removed from
the salt factories at .Salton. The South
Pacific passes through the basin for more
than fifty miles, it's lowest point being
more than 1853 feet below the level. If
the subterranean passage connects with
the Colorado river at Yuma, the lake will
be over 900 feet deep and over fifty miles
long. If the waters continue to raise, the
Southern Pacific will be submerged for
dearly 100 miles, and the great desert
of Colorado will be converted into vast
lake.
Two or three sailors will sail south from
Salton and attempt to reach the source
of the flow while the runnings Indian
follow the bank of the river from Yuma.

BRIEF WlRINGS::-
THE SPECIAL LAND COURT.

Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican
DENVER, Colo, July 1.-The new court
of private land claims has been in session
here all forenoon, and at this hour-noon
is in secret conference considering the
appointments of chief clerk, deputy clerks,
stenographer, etc.
The court is expected to hold an open
session this afternoon and announce its
appointees.
Besides j. NJ. Hawkins, of Nebraska !;
John G. Hill, chief of a division in the
census Office, Washington, and Arthur J.
O'Connor, an attorney in Washington, j.
H. Reeder, of Kansas, has developed
great strength for the chief clerkship. j.
N. Smithee, formerly of New Mexico, is
also candidate for the place, as is also
G. M. Phillips, of Morristown, N. j., for
merly district clerk at Santa Fe, and the
son-in-law Of Judge S. B. Axtell, Of your
territory.
The principal sessions of the new court
will very likely be held at Denver and at
Santa Fe, and probably the first term will
open at Santa Fe November /.
Later. H. Reeder, of Haynes City,
Kas., has been appointed chief clerk,
and Eusebie Chacon, son of Major Cha
con, of Trinidad, was chosen interpreter.
Iowa Republicans In Session.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July 1.--There is
but one sentiment among the Republican
hosts that have gathered here to-day to
attend the state convention. That senti-
ment is that some hard fighting is before
them for the next three months and that
they must fight to win. No effort, no
labor, no expense is to be spared to keep
good old party.
This year they propose to capture every
thing in sight. The convention this year
is the largest that has ever assembled in
the state.
There is, moreover, plenty of enthu-
siasm, and plenty of earnestness, and if
the temper of the delegates is any crite-
rion, it is going to bea rattling fight. And
it will be made on but three issues, ap-
proval of the national Republican admin
istration, approval of the Mckinley bill in
its entirety and all that it implies, and
last but not least, approval Of the prohibi-
tory liquor law.
The state convention was called to Or
der at 10 a. M, with 1858 delegates pres
ent. This afternoon three candidates
will be placed in nomination: H. G.
Wheeler, of Odebolt; Ben F. Clayton, of
Pottawattamie, and Daniel Kerr, Of
Grundy Centre. Wheeler is to be nomi-
mated on the first ballot. He is big
farmer, cultivates 5000 acres of land and
was for many years president of the State
Agricultural society. For the lieutenant
governorship, J. N. Rumple, of Moren-
go; George Finn, of Bedford; W. Mes
servy, of Cherokee, and @. II. Poyneer,
will be placed in nomination. Rumple
is in the lead this morning, but he has
not enough votes to get the nomination
on the first ballot, and the chances are
that there will be break to Poyneer, who
is very much of a diplomat and is likely to
get the nomination.

COLORADO.
The Colorado Election.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 3.-The weather to-
day was warm and cloudy, and the election
was beyond all question the most peaceful
one ever had in Denver. Considering the
fact that this is an off year and that the
Australian system, which went into effect
to-day, had disfranchised colonies and s.
men, he vote cast was surprisingly heavy
one. L tile or no trouble was experienced in
getting voters through the polling booths
and the places Of voting were free from
gangs of ticket-peddlers and boozers, who,
under the old system, We're an annoyance to
the voter. When the polls closed tonight
no arrests had been reported for illegal
voting. There were five tickets in the
field, the Democratic, Republican, Peoples,
Prohibition and Peoples comparison. The
first two polled the vote, the other three
making but little showing. No state Off
GERS We're voted for except for chief
justice of the supreme court and but
little scratching was done. Reports re-
ceived from various parts of the state indi-
cate that the election passed off quietly and
in many places 4 mixed ticket was chosen.
The counting of the ballots will be very
slow, and on account of the great distance
precincts are apart it will be very late be-
fore returns of a definite character can be
had. There is, however, no doubt of the
election of Judge Helm, Republican, to the
chief justiceship.

Before the Commission.



AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 3.-Representatives
of the Mackey brick and tile company of
San Antonio called on the commission to-
day. The company has two5brickyards
close to each other at Calaveras ON the
Arkansas Pass.
The railroad company claims that one
of the yards is outside of the twenty
mile limit. Brick from the outside yard is
charged SIPS per one thousand, while from
the inside yard the rate is only ST. The
rates are those fixed by the commission.
The brick company get one rate for both
yards under the old system, and ask to have
it restored.
Cotton shippers from Chappell Hill were
here to-day also, complaining of the Cen
trail charging compress rate on cotton and
refusing to have it compressed. They talk
of bringing criminal action against the
local agents. The commission appears to
think that such an act is warrantable.
Mr. Gresham called on the commission,
also Mr.. Harry of Dallas, representative
the iron roofing and fence manufacturers.
He preferred complaints against some of
the roads for imposing discriminating rates
on his wares. He says that the roads haul the
raw material from St. Louis to San
Antonio and FL Paso for the same
rate charged Dallas; that is, seventy cents
They then charge him 81 to 40 cents for
hauling his product from Dallas to these
places when the rate on SINH
lar goods from Cincinnati to
Chattanooga is only cents and
from Birmingham, Ala, to Memphis only
u cents. He asks for rate that viii
enable him to manufacture and market his
goods il the state.

confident throughout the contest. In Des
Moines the Democrats commenced firing
their cannon before a single precinct had
finished its balloting. The Republicans
were not as demonstrative but just as con-
fident Of victory. It is conceded the cleo
ton will be close. The most remarkable
thing Is the increase in the
vote cast over last year and two
years ago. AL reports received in this city
indicate the heaviest vote ever cast in the
state.
The weather has been disagreeable in
many parts of the state, but it has proba-
bly, not decreased the vote. Early in the
campaign it looked as if the Farmers
Alliance or Peoples party would
seriously complicate the election.
Republicans anticipated this move
ment by placing in nomination farmer for
governor and a farmer for lieutenant-gov-
ernor. If Mr. Wheeler is elected his meth
DDS will be very popular with candidates in
the future. If not. campaign of hand
shaking and letter writing will be in bad
repute. The Republican candidate for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, George Van Houten,
has played an important part on account of
his close association with the Farmers Al
lance, in which he has been one of the or
ganiZerS and leaders.

How Ono May See Ghosts.

In my youth I saw a pantomime, in
which were exhibited slack and tight rope
dancing, tum bling, balancing and various
other feats of skill. Among these the
performance of the clown was conspicu-
Gus. Holding the right foot in the left
hand he used the loop thus formed as q
skipping rope, through which he leaped
backward and forward very rapidly. The
next morning, just before waking, l had q
confused dream of this scene, in which the
skipping clown was again prominent.
The whole picture faded gradually as
became more and more conscious of my
actual surroundings; but l found that on
closing my eyes it was family reproduced
and that on reopening them the place oc
cupied by the clown, whitish on a dark
ground when the eyes were closed, ap-
peared against white bed curtain as pale
purple spot, indistinct, but evidently in
motion, like a pulsating heart. In this
case lively Impressions upon the mind and
eye, after remaining dormant for many
hours, assumed during dream the ap
pearance of reality, though the nerves of
the eye were so feebly excited that pale
colored spot only could endure the test OF
faint daylight.
Had the room been darker, though not
in total darkness, the moving figure would
have been nearly as distinct when the eyes
were open as when they were closed. Thus
it is easy 20 see that one person dreaming
of another, and gradually waking in par
tial darkness, on seeing the others image
still before his eyes, might not unnaturally
suppose that his "ghost" had appeared
"a visitant from another world"-probably
to announce his recent decease!-Black-
woods Magazine.
