The Warship Mohican to Sail for the
Sandwich Islands at Once.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-It was
learned here that the United States man.
of-war Mohican is to be dispatched to
Honolulu on Wednesday. Sailing or
ders have already been received and
there is unusual activity at Mare island
preparing the cruiser for sea. The ves-
sci has been ordered to take a deck load
of coal in addition to the usual supply
and it is evident an effort will be made
to force the Mohican's old engines to
make time. Inasmuch as the steamship
Australia sailed for Honolulu Saturday
and could have carried all necessary ad.
vices to Minister Willis, the inference il
there must be some urgent reason fol
strengthening the United States naval
force at Honolulu.

The Subject Will Receive Attention From
the Congressional Committed.

The Subject VIII Receive Attention From
the Congressional Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga subject
which will receive some consideration at
the hands of the committee on appropri-
atoms in the house at this session of con-
gress is embodied in the bill introduced
by Representative Sayers, its chairman,
entitled a bill ''to repeal certain laws
relating to permanent and indefinite APP
preparations"
Bills having this object in view have
appeared perennially during the past 10
years, but for various reasons they have
failed of enactment. The object of re-
pealing these permanent appropriations
and having congress pass upon the mat
tiers covered by them each year, is that
it will conduce to a more thorough and
careful examination of items
of appropriation than is obtain
able under the present system,
by which accounts are audited
and passed upon by the accounting Off
GERS, and where no opportunity is left
for scrutiny by congressional commit
tees. AT the same time objection is
made against the changes proposed by
the bill
Because of the Injustice
| that would result to claimants entitled
to amounts paid them under the present
system without occurs to specific con.
gressional legislation. The bill now be.
fore the committee excluded from its
provisions various laws therein speci
fed, including the sinking fund and
others, the appropriations under which
amount to many millions of dollars
roughly estimated at about one-third o.
the total permanent appropriations. This
total annual permanent appropriation
for the fiscal year 1894 Were $113, AL,
$50, and the estimates for 1895. $101,
074,6S0. The committee has referret
the bill to Secretary Carlisle fol
his views on the changes proposed
by it, and the several accounting off
GERS of the department will be asked t,
submit their opinions before any recon
mendation is made in the matter by TIN
secretary.

A travellers tale of British phlegm il

man was seated in a smoking carriage
and had for his companion a MILFORD
Anglais.' Enter a British miss-of
course with a plaid and protruding teeth
and a Skye terrier. She sat opposite the
MILFORD. He politely informed her that
she had by mistake got into a smoking
carriage. She made not the slightest an
swer. but sat grimly on.
The MILFORD threw away his cigar. much
to the establishment Of the Frenchman.
who, according to the story, sat watch
ing what would happen. When they
reached the next station, the MILFORD said,
with the cold dignity Of his race and
cast: Madam can now change into a
nonsmoking carriage. If she does not, ]
shall assume that she does not mind
smoke and shall light another cigar"
Madam said not a word, but stared in
front of her. The train went on again.
and the MILFORD lighted mp. When his
cigar was well alight and the train ip
motion, the lady bent forward, took the
cigar out of the milord's mouth and
threw il out of the window. The MILFORD
not only did not make any remark, but
he did not even seem disturbed. All he
did was to wait a minute. and then to
bend over the lady, seize the Skye ter
rier, which was lying in her lap, and
fling it out of the window.
:. OF this act the lady, to the complete
astonishment of the French spectator
took no notice whatever. At the mex

CLIMATE AND MINES.

There continues to be considerable in
quiry for mining properties In New Mex.
leo. Since the opening of spring there is
scarcely district in the territory that
has not felt the quickening impulse Of
new capital and the frequent inquiry
now heard for property is an agreeable
augury of the future.
What is the cause of this? There has
been certainly no improvement in the
monetary situation to justify this rather
sudden rush for New Mexico mine invest
ments. The question is difficult of answer
unless we seek for it in an entirely new
direction, and that is the relation that
climate bears to the industry. Here we
believe the question is answered without
going farther. The climatic conditions
in this territory are peculiarly distinctive.
No other sub division of the United
States can lay claim to such an
advantage. In Colorado, Utah, Montana,
SuiAiothiu anu CioO"uOl0 UuO lAluCS
are practically at stand still for nearly
one half the year, owing to the rigors of
winter, while here in New Mexico there is
scarcely day in the year when the miner
cannot prosecute his work. At first blush
this would seem to be of no great mo-
ment, but capital, always on the qui vive,
has apparently taken much note of it,
and has at last come to realize that it is
just as easy to invest in mines that can
be worked the year round as in those re-
gions where snow, ice and chill weather
limit the working season to only about
one half the year. This matter of equa-
BILE climate is worth the attention of our
mine promoters. 1t is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for much of the present i'm
proved demand for our miners.

A PRACTICAL SCHEME.

Since 1910, the dream of commerce has
been an Atlantic and Pacific connection
at some feasible point across the Central
American Isthmus. The announcement
was made short time ago that the rail-
road across the isthmus of Tehuantepec
would be completed within two years.
This is a very different proposition from
the Eads ship railway or the DeLesseps
canal; but when it is considered that from
New Orleans to San Francisco by this
route is 5000 miles, while through DeLes-
seps canal it is 6, 100; it will be seen that the
project is muchmore practicable. Presi-
dent Dlaz has refused to allow this road
to be controlled by any monopoly, and as
there seems to be good basis FOR the
announcement, the completion of this
railway will benefit the entire southwest
coast.

FORESTRY.

Even in the young west we are every
day realizing the waste and destruction
that has characterized the settlement OF
the public domain. Boundless areas have
been deforested and hardly a reason can
be offered tor the cutting. One direct re-
suit is that the snow on the mountains
is unprotected, and melts during the first
summer months lea wing the ripening
season short of water. By some means
the concensus of opinion on the west
should be taken in the subjects of de.
forestation and reforestation. Just now
the executive should execute the law and

Our SDOilsmen.

The New Mexico patronage board was
first organized early in December 1892,
when Mr.. Joseph, being about to start
for Washington, called the practical
politicians" of our party together at Santa
Re, and sought to bring about an ar
rangement for the distribution of federal
patronage in New Mexico. Joseph's
somewhat violent assumption at that time,
was, that he had control, and that whom
soever he might conclude to indorse
would be secure of appointment. The
spoilsmen who gathered at the capital
were disposed to believe this, and all who
procured admission to this slatemaker's
little gathering, fairly Rugged themselves
in self congratulation.
The little coterie now holding its
mournful sessions in Washington poses
as the only legitimate successor of this
original patronage board, and claims to
represent New Mexico's Democracy.
Crist, FERGUSON and Joseph, when not
sin session." wander about the streets of
Washington, piteously urging that they
are entitled to recognition. FERGUSON
claims he had ought to be made governor,
because Joseph had promised him the
nomination for delegate and had engaged
to keep off the course-and then broken
the promise and engagement. Joseph
protests that he would not have run, had
Ferguson not broken his own back.
by his foolish conduct-but, still, he
recognizes his obligations and is willing
to patch up things by supporting Fer
gusson for governor. Crisis claim to ap-
pointment as secretary rests upon the
fact that he was chairman of the terri
torial committee during the last cam
paign. Here again, Joseph's Christian
spirit shines forth; for it is notorious
that Crisis Encouragement came very
near swapping the candidate, and did
actually reduce his majority to beggarly
few hundred.
OF course these fellows being all under
obligation to Gov. Ross, are all opposed
to him, and of course that opposition
will operate to the governors advantage.
Mr.. Cleveland has read Mr.. Fergusson's
"open letter." and the ex purgated copy of
that precious document as published here,
and Harvey BIS claims may therefore be
classed as nil. The president never had
any special use for Mr.. Joseph, and is
posted as to the "upstart" character of
Crist; 80, on the whole, New Me1ico's
mutual admiration patronage board at
Washington should be allowed to enjoy
its sessions undisturbed. 1t is harmless
