his wife to return home with him, which
che refused to do, whereupon he tried
to eject her from the house. AT this
juncture his step-daughter, Mrs. Charles

ock Harbur.
GREENocK, Sept. 2.-The people OF
this city and vicinity were startled this
morning by deafening roar that was
subsequently aecertalned to have been
caused by powder explosion. The
new bark Aucn Mountain, with twenty
tons of gunpowder on board, had been
lying at anchor on the Firth of Clyde,
off Greenock. Persons who were look
ing in the direction OF the
bark saw they saw a binding flash OF
light, followed by concussion that
shook the earth. Then dense smoke
arose, and when it lifted a little it was
seen that the bark was blown to pieces.
Her poop deck, matches and deck
houses were blown to pieces, while he1
masts were broken off and iell along
side the wreck The topgallant fore.
castle was blown out, and the whole
forward part of the vessel was torn to
pieces. Aft the destruction was just
about as complete. The long boat
which was lying upturned on top OF the
galley, was caught up and went sailing
through the air at 8 far greater rate OF
speed than it had ever been propelled
through tine water Above the water
line the planking was blown out, leav.
ing huge holes, while DelOW many OF
the butts were started and the water
poured in in torrents. On shore the Ell
iects of the explosion were extensive.
The windows of houses and
shops along the water front
were shattered, and some of the
older houses swayed to and fro as
though moved by an earthquake.
Many windows were also broken far.
Their up in the city, and tor little time
there was considerable excitement, not
to say alarm, but it quickly subside ed
when the cause Of the commotlon be-
came known. A most peculiar feature
of the accident is that nobody on board
of the bark was killed. Some of the
crew we're badly burned, some were
thrown into the water, but none were
lost. No explanation Of the accident
has vet been advanced.

A GOOD ONE ON BISMARCK.

Bismarck's first interview with
Prof. Schweininger was somewhat
amusing. The prince, accustomed to
bulldoze everybody, met with more
than his match when he came in
contact with the famous doctor. The
man of blood and iron was suffering
from neuralgia, and was in a very
bad humor. The doctor was not the
least put out by the princes savage
look; he sounded him thoroughly and
commenced to question him. After
few moments of examination the
prince became impatient.
"Now, I'm tired of your intermi~
nable questions" he said. 81 don't
see the utility of them, and you are
simply annoying me-"
The doctor is made of inhammaN
BILE material, and became ignited by
the sparks of Bismarck's angry eyes.
"You find that / am annoying
YOU" he said. "You want to be
cured without being obliged to ane
swer questions. Why the devil, then,
didn't you call in veterinary sur
geon. The vets cure their patients
without asking them any questions.
Bismarck bounded to his feet,
clenched his fists, and glared in rage
and astonishment at the man of sci
ence. The doctor folded his arms
and looked defantly at the prince
until the latter resumed his seat, and
said:
"Very well, if you can't cure me
without questioning me go ahead
with your internal examination. II.
be very fortunate indeed if your
medical skill proves equal to your
impertinence. OF the latter you
have just given me splendid speci-
men,"
The prince was cured and he
and the doctor are fast friends
now. They resemble each other in
charater and disposition.

DEMOCRATS m COUNCIL.

In response to a call to all leading
Democrats to come together and join
the Democratic central committee in
discussing campaign matters, the fol-
lowing assembled at the Palace hotel
today:
Agapito Abeytia, Macario Gale
gos, of Mora county; Geo. b. Ber-
ringer, of the Raton Reporter; G,
K. Hosmer, of the Springer Banner;
w. b. Childers, N. B. Field, of Al
buquerque; Francisco Lopez, F. Mon

of Las Vegas; N. b. Laughlin, G.
NJ. Creamer, J. p. Crist, of Santa Fe;
DR.. Kelley, of San Pedro; A. Scheu.
rich, of Taos county. Hon. A.. Jo,
seph was also present.
Mr.. Childers, chairman of the CEN
trail committee, presided, and N. B.
Laughlin acted as secretary. During
the forenoon nothing was done ex-
cept to discuss the situation, and at
the end of two hours q recess was
taken TO 4 p. m.
Considerable surprise was mani-
tested over the fact that the attend
ance was so meager No point south
of Albuquerque had a representative
present.
In the afternoon the question as to
who shall succeed w. B. Childers as
chairman was under discussion, and
it is also likely that change in the
date for holding the congressional
nominating convention will be made.
The call provides that such conven-
tion shall be held in Santa Fe Sep
tember IA, but this will probably
be changed so as to bring the con-
vention about two weeks earlier

LATE NEWS.
DON'T WANT TO GO.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The Kan
sas City live stock association, of
Kansas City, has petitioned the pres
ident to cause the order to be revok-
ed which directs the war department
to remove cattle from the Cherokee
strip. The communication is signed
by j. II. Wait, vice president, and r.
r. Woodbury., secretary. They dis.
cuss at length the danger of remov-
ing the cattle, danger Of loss to cat
tlemen themselves from Texas fever,
ana loss to the people in the section
through which the cattle will be
moved. They go on the supposltion
that some of the cattle will be moved
up into Kansas, and this, in their
judgment, will cause untold loss to
the citizens of Kansas.
Then, on the south, they can see
the citizens of Oklahoma sufferin G
from the spread of Texas fever
among the cattle, caused by remov-
ing the Cherokee strip cattle. They
do not attempt to offer excuses for
the cattlemen who have violated tn e
law by placing cattle on the. strip,
but attempt to meet the conditions
IN a way favorable to these same
cattlemen.
A great many other communlca-
tions have been received on the sub
ject seeking to have the order revok-
ed, and, in the estimation of one of
the officials of the interior, they are
inspired by the cattlemen interested.
Discredit is placed upon them, to
this extent, placing them in the roll
of personal interest and not seeking
to enlighten the president on the
general good of the communitie s in
terested. 1t is safe to say that the
interior will remain firm to the re-
quest made to the president for the
removal of the cattle from the
strip.

The mongrel movement has at
last materialized, and as the Repub-
lican suspected, is made up of sore
headed Republicans who have car
ried the "rule or ruin" banner IN that
party until the people are tired of
them, and unscrupulous Democratic
demagogues who are ready to trade
principles for office. 1t is unprinci-
pied from top to bottom and is not a
movement to meet with popular
favor in any intelligent community
On the other hand it presages the
most bitter personal fight and cor
rupt Doodle campaign ever expe-
rienced in Don Ana county. Even
before the movement materialized
the work of corruption commenced.
Efforts were made both by the use
of money and promises of office, to
seduce prominent citizens from their
allegiance to principle and decency.
In some instances they were success
full, in others not. 1t is safe to say
that this early in campaign year
more money has been corruptly dis
bursed by the leaders of the reform
(O Independent movement than
ever before in the history of the
county, by the leaders of both the
old parties combined.-Las Cruces
