Payment of Heavy Fines.
Paris, March 21.-The jury in the
Panama cases today rendered verdict
of guilty in the cases of Charles De
Lesseps, Baihut and Blondin, and
acquitted the others.
Paris, March 21.-
The court sentenced Baihut to i'm
prisonment for five years and to pay a
fine of 100000 francs and to loss of CIV
il rights. Blondin was sentenced to inn
prisonment for two years, and Charles
de Lesseps to Imprisonment for one
year. the one year to run currently
with the five years sentence already
imposed on him. All three of the con-
victed prisoners are condemned to pay
the costs and damages demanded by
the civil parties to the proceedings.
The sentence Of Charles de Lesseps and
Blondin were made comparatively light
on the ground of extenuating circum-
stances in their cases.

Blondin, and Baihut, to pay Nonchi-
court, liquidator of the Panama Com
pany, 375,000 francs, the amount taken

MILLION DOLLARS PROPERTY LOST
Largest FIGURING Mills in the World Ex-

Fifty Miles.
IILLIoN DOLLARS PROPERTY LOST
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Litchfeld, ILL.,, March 21.-The most
frightful calamity in the history Of
this city occurred this morning at an
early hour, which resulted in the loss
of a million dollars worth Of property,
and a number of lives, and practically
wrecking half of the town and dam
aging property for miles around
Shortly after o'clock fire was dis
covered in Kehlor's Planet Steam
FIGURING Mills. the largest Of the kind
in the world. The fire department had
scarcely arrived on the scene, when an
explosion of terrific violence shook the
earth for miles around, the shock be-
ing felt even as far as Decatur, fifty
miles distant. 1t broke the plate glass
windows in a majority of the stores
in the city, and Frustrated almost
every one on the street, shook houses
loose from their foundations, and
Jared the machinery in the Litchfield
car and machine shops to such an ex-
tent that work had to be suspended
till necessary repairs can be made.
1t is supposed that the fire originated
from a spark from a passing locomo-
tive, and that the subsequent explosion
was caused by the flames coming in
contact with an accumulation of mill
dust. The head millwright, John Cary
er, was stunned by the explosion, and
thrown against the smoke stack,
pinned there and burned to death, his
limbs being burned off. 1t is not yet
known whether there are any other
fatalities, though there are number
of seriously injured reported.
The grain elevator adjoining the mill,
containing quarter of million Of BUSH
els Of wheat, was burned to the ground
with its contents, together with doz-
en- Wabash freight cars standing along
side. The track is blockaded, and the
telegraph wires disabled.

SOME STATISTICS.

Washington, Marchg 21,-Prof. ]. r..
Dodge. statistician OF the department
of agriculture, includes in his monthly
report the dates and official statistics
of the principal crops Of foreign coun-
tries. The present conditions are very
favorable
The worlds wheat crop Of 1892, will
be 2.347, ,96s, ,O35 bushels. In Great Brit
ain there is great reduction in the
stock of live hogs. a decrease Of over a
million head. The shortage in Ireland
is estimated at 100000 head. The abb
normally high price Of bacon and pork
as contrasted with other meats, will. It
is thought, greatly stimulate hog
breeding.

Washington, March 21.-The pressure
exerted by congressman at the White
House for appointments has developed
into an individual scramble. The pres
ident has effectually disintegrated the
deledation endorsement system, and
now each man is going for himself
and pushing Individual friends. The
result which the. president has achieved
and which was his design, is breaking
up ring politics in delegations. The
patronage heretofore considered the
sacred property of senators, for in
stance, marshals and district attor-
neys. is now declared a free-for-all, and
humble members of the lower house,
or even a group Of private citizens may
present the names Of candidates with
some degree Of hope of success.

THE FORAGE WONDER.

The American Agriculturist for this
month contains an article detailing in
full the success which Prof. Paul Wagner,
of the agricultural experiment station at
Darmstadt, Germany, has met with in
producing valuable forage plant from
the wild pea of Hungary. The New Mex
IoAN was the first western newspaper to
lay the result of Prof. Wagner's expert
ments in this direction before its readers,
and it is gratified to note the attention
the subject is receiving from American
agriculturists generally.
AS has been stated this wild pea grows
prolific in nearly every part of New
Mexico, and no doubt the seed pods of
this, if gathered when ripe, could BIO uti-
lized for producing here the same wonder
full article of forage that is enlisting SO
much attention now in Germany.
Among the extraordinary features
which Prof. Wagner has found this plant
(Lathyrus silvestris) to possess may BIO
noted, in addition to what has already
been said Of it in these columns, the fact
that it appears earlier in the spring and
remains green later in the fall than al
falfa; possesses much greater nutritive
value than alfalfa; thrives on tho poorest
of soils without water; plants year old
send their roots down six feet and older
plants have been seen with thirty feet Of
root. The plant also reproduces itself at
remarkable rate, sending up fresh
shoots from the crown of the roots, and
on a plant three years old, the stalks
being six feet in length, have been
counted eighty-seven stalks springing
from the crown root. These features are
certainly sufficient to attract q great deal
of attention to this new forage wonder
from the farmers of the arid west

TIE FINANCIAL LEGISLATION Of the 30TH
ASSEMBLY.

THE question now arises: Was tho
legislation of the 30th legislative assembly
in designating the Albuquerque National
bank as the territorial depository good
or bad? 1t might have been very bad,
had it not been for the subsequent legisla-
ton requiring large bond from that
institution and also providing for the de-
posting Of territorial funds with other
banks upon proper bonds; for this sub
sequent legislation the people of New
Mexico have in very great measure to
thank this journal, the Santa Fe New
MEXICAN, which made gallant, energetic,
strong fight to procure this subsequent
legislation, and was successful.
This journal will always BIO found
at work for the best interests of the
entire territory, and don't you forget
this; should you have mind to be for
getful, cut this out and paste it into your
hat, and read it daily. The truth cannot
be kept too much before the people.
