TIE CASE DECIDED.

LAS Cruces, N. NJ, April s, '92.
Hon. Miguel Salazar, vice presi-
dent, Las Vegas, N. M.
Dear sir:-Below please find OK
tract from minutes of the last meet
ing of our board, as per our under
standing yesterday.
"Mr. Salazar presented to the
board petitions from the board of
county commissioners and large
number of the ladies of the county
of San Miguel, and from the city
council and board of trade of the
city of Las Vegas, requesting that the
ladies of San Miguel county be au-
thorized and empowered to form
finance committee with authority to
raise all the funds to be used in the
prosecution of the women's work in
either of the branches presided over
by Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Albright,
ard offered a resolution to the effect
that the request of the ladies of San
Miguel county be granted and that
similar committee be appointed in
each of the other counties of the ter
ritory. After extended discussion
it was decided to grant the request
from San Miguel county, but to take
no action regarding the remaining
counties and the following amend
ment to the original resolution was
offered by Major Salazar and adopt
ed:
Resolved, That at the request of
the county commissioners of San Mi
guel county and of the ladies there
of, and of the board of trade and
city council of Las Vegas, the ladies
of said county are hereby authorized
and empowered to form committee

Columbian exposition to be held in
Chicago in 1898, and that all funds
raised by said committee be Gy them
to the several part
ments of the ladies' work in such pro-
portion as in their judgment they
deem to be right, and that the col.
lection made by said committee be
delivered to the lady managers in
charge of the several departments
and classes as heretofore agreed be-
tween them, and that they be re-
quested to notify this board of their
as soon as perfected,

secretary and treasurer, and members

GENERAL MANAGER RosNScN's VIEWS.

General Manager A. A. Robinson
and General Superintendent II. r.
Nickerson came in from the east yes
terday and were around looking up
business matters today.
In short interview they stated to
reporter that there was no truth in
the rumor that the Montezuma hotel
was to shut down. On the contrary
n large sum of money will be ex-
pended in repairs and improvements
and bringing itup to old standard of
a few years ago.
As to the Denver & Ell Paso road
Mr.. Robinson said his company
would only be too glad to see it
come IN and start railroad building
and the development of the territory
along. The road would only help
the Santa Fe instead of damaging it,
and his company would be willing to
give the road free right of way into
the springs and all other encourage
ment possible.
Continuing Mr.. Robinson said that
it was surprising to see such a live,
progressive looking town as Las We
gas playing second fiddle TO Denver,
when there are advantages here that
Denver has not and that can and
should make as large a city here as
Denver. All that is needed is a lit
tie push and energy and when once
started great change will take
place. You complain of hard times,
but in the east they are really worse
than out here.
The gentlemen go south to Santa
Fe today and stop at Cerrillos to-
night, extending their trip to Silver
City and Ell Paso.

Ship Canals.

We again mentioned yesterday DR.. LAF-
TERTf's scheme for cutting q ship canal to
connect the waters Of the James and the
York rivers. The scheme is no a new one.
but was proposed and advocated many
years ago by some of the people OF Rich
mond, who were enthusiastic friends OF
all sorts of internal improvements.
Chicago has o connection Of the same
sort now in process of construction. The
Chicago drainage canal will connect the
waters Of the Great Lakes with the waters
Of the Mississippi river, and provide n
waterway for small vessels from the Gulf
of Mexico through the heart of the United
States and out through the st. Lawrence
into the North Atlantic. Chieago's first
object, as We understand it, IL TO divert
the sewerage Of the city from Lake Michl-
gan, where it pollutes the city's supply OF
water.
This Is o great scheme. 1t is entirely
practicable. In fact, it Is indispensable.
When Chicago first began to receive bel
water supply from the lake we congratu'
lated Der upon having the finest watei
supply in the world. But the result was
that the sewerage and drainage became SC
large q body of pollution that the water
OF lake Michigan is no longer pure.
We trust shat both Brother LATFEBrl
and Chicago may succeed in their grand
schemes.

Ganaral Hunton.

Senator EPPA HUTTON made a good i'm
preston by his speech at Hanover Court
house on Wednesday.
1t was an argument addressed to thought
ful men, and was therefore well suited to
the great majority of his audience.
Throughout his comparison of the records
of CLEVELAND and HARRISON and his disco
ton Of the force bill, the MCKINLEY tariff,
and the pension frauds he was calm and
dignifed, and his views we're strongly pre-
sented.
There are a number of Third-party men
in Hanover-some of whom have hereto
fore been excellent Democrats-and we
must believe that General HUNroS's
speech, backed as it was by the fine address
from the Hon. GEORGE ID. WISE, will do
great good in that county.
Senator HusToN next speaks in Nelson

un1ustlfable Railroad Accidents.

CAIooNAAAa0AN
No such accidents ought to be possible
as the one reported in our issue of yester-
day as having occurred the day before on
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad. Whether the train was going
around q curve or not. as reported, is a
question which need not be raised. The
passenger train was running at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour, and meanwhile the
poor freight-men were asleep! What does
this statement mean? II means over
worked ~freieht-car hands; and over
worked hands are always tempted to take
q nap if it be one only five minutes long.
But once they fall asleep, there Is no more
watching on their part.
Who is to be blamed for such accidents
We leave the question with the reader.
