Elements had been brought about through
the good sense and good feeling OF land
lords and tenants. Even upon the Olphert
estate, of mournful memories. settlements
had been come to and there was prospect
that evicted tenants would be reinstated.
Nevertheless, Dillon informed the commits
sion, there were thousands Of evicted ten
ants whose condition is 80 pitiable and
desperate that IT constituted menace to
public peace. and he urgently advised that
measures be adopted for their relief, both
on the ground of humanity and public se-
curitY. Dillon also spoke severely of those
landlords who are apparently endeavoring
to embarrass the government by merciless
evictions at this severe season. Dillon

all sources for the support Of the evicted
tenants under the plan Of campaign was
4234, 900.

And the Ownership of the Mines Is Now
In Litigation.
DURANGO. Mex, Jan. 5.-The trial Of one
OF the most important mining suits ever
held in Mexico was begun here before the
district judge. The Candelaria mines at
San Dimas, now in possession of the Can
delaria Mexican Consolidated Mining cor
poration, incorporated under the laws Of
California, and said to have produced in
the last three years between three and four
million dollars worth of ore, are now
claimed By Mark Birmingham. of New
York, who spent several months last year in
Durango and the City of Mexico in order
to see verified copies of titles to his mines.
He has now brought suit to recover the
valuable properties. These mines are in
history under Spanish rule as tho mines
that gave Zambrano some $50 100000.

Eiasco OF Sntolii's Mission.

RoMK, Jan. b.-Corriere del Mnttino. a
newspaper published at Naples, says the
leading topic at Rome is the tiasco of Mgr.
Satolli's mission from the vatican to the
United States. The Corriere article says
Mgr. Satolli's brusQue manner excited the
discomfort of American bishops, who
caused the cuua to understand they will
not tolerate the arrogance OF an envoy.
The vatican. therefore, for fear of causing
greater friction, is obliged to recall Mgr.
Satolli. instead of having him remain in
America to ranresent the pope ut the Chi
cago Worlds fair.

A WANDERING TOT.
"A IwO-Hear-Old Child Found Two and a
Half Miles from Home

Iwo-Hear-Old Child Found Two and a
Half Miles from Home.
MI. Robert Jolly was a very much sur
prlsed man Saturday morning when he
saw the 2-year-old baby boy of his broth
er, MI Elmore Jolly, walking down Main
street in front of SHADES stable bare
headed and alone.
Mr.. ElmOre Jolly lives two and half
miles from the city, and left his baby at
home with its mother that morning when
he came to the city to spend the day
clerking in Hatcher q Thornton's store.
The CHILD saw its father leave home and
In few minutes started off in the same
direction, coming all the way to Dawson
and going from one end of Main street to
the other before being recognized.
1t is fortunate that MI Robert Jolly
happened along by the stable when he
did, or the child probably would have
wandered to the woods and been lost.
The little tot was taken to his father,
who was IN entire ignorance of his baby's
adventures until the little fellow was
placed safely in his arms
