ments on the property.
committee, consisting of Messrs
John W. Akers, II. L. Ortiz and E. An
drews, was appointed to call upon the
business men of Santa Fe for subscrip-

San .gilam Railroad TaIii.

The ousft of Scott n. Morris, the con
tractor, rolled into town Saturday. Nj
Morris has twenty-five teams which he
will winter on the La Plata at Mr.. Full
chers. From the genial contractor we
learn that north and south line between
Durango and Albuquerque and the south
west has not been abandoned. Indeed
the outlook for the road never look ed
brighter than it does to-day. A number
of Leadville and Denver capitalists who
are looking with interest this way will be
down about the holidays to look over the
country from Durango to Albuquerque.
Among them we learned are R. j. Cole
man, j. M. Hill, Gilbert McClurg, and c.
M. Connell. While in Durango Mr.. Nor
ris interviewed Senator Teller in regard
to the recent Ute removal bill, shelved by
the opposition of Senator Villas. Senator
Teller told him that it would come up
early in the session and he had no doubt
but that it would be passed.-San Juan

Kansas City, Nov. 14.-The voters OF
all parties received shock yesterday
From election day till now they all be-
lieved W. T. Jameson, Republican, and
William Sloan, Republican, had been
elected prosecuting attorney and county
marshal respectively. The returns as an
nounced by the recorder of voters said so,
but the official returns give different re-
suits, which turn Jamieson's plurality of
1853 in the city to q plurality of 20 for j
H. Bremmerman, Democrat. This sudden
change caused amazement, but conster-
nation struck the town when the announce
ment was made that Sloan's before un-
questioned plurality has dwindled away
and the count actually gave Joseph
keshlear, Democrat, 80 plurality.
County Clerk Caldwell has issued GER
tificates of election to Bremmerman and
Keshlear.

The Cathedral Organ.

A handsome pipe organ is being put in
position at the cathedral to take the place
of the small organ heretofore used. The
organ was purchased from the Hook &
Hasting company of Boston and New
York and the total cost was $4,000. Mr.
Paul l.. Benz, a representative of the
honse by whom the instrument was sold,
is in the city actively supervising the in
tricate work of putting it together. This
work will doubtless take week or more
so that the new organ will not be heard
for some days. The instrument is un-
doubtedly the finest in the territory and
will add very greatly to the already
high quality of music rendered at the
cathedral. Father Fourchegu says the
instrument will be used, however, only
on special occasions, the organ now in
use serving for ordinary services.

London, Nov. 14.-Financiers are dis
cussing the advisability of the question
of replacing the material of the bank
notes and bonds with aluminium, which
has already served the purpose irf the
manufacture Of visiting cards. 1t is stated
that coins might be made of the new
metal, these coins to be worthless except
30 far as the guarantee of the bank is
concerned in placing value on them.
Henry Bessemer, the great English steel
manufacturer, is warmly espousing the
IDEA, and recommends the making of such
bonds, which, in the shape ola coin, are ex-
ceedingly light, fireproof and difficult to
melt, SO that they are free from all the dis
advantages possessed by paper money.
Bessemer says that he has already per-
fected process which prevents counter
feiting such coins, making it more diff
cult to counterfeit than paper money,
for photo-lithography has made it easy
to initiate the most skillful design, and
the only safeguard is the secret process
of making the paper.

ways Of Our Butchers

The following is going the rounds of
the eastern press:
"ln the meat shops of towns of New
Mexico and Arizona the visitor from the
east is apt to notice that the dressed car
casses Of sheep have a tuft Of wool still
attached to The head and the tail. This is
left by the butcher to insure the customer
that it is mutton, and not goat flesh, that
he is buying, for in these territories many
tocks of goats are reared and pastured
by the small Mexican ranchmen to be
killed for food for the poorer natives.
Roast or stewed kid, with chill pepper
sauce, is an esteemed dinner dish at the

SALT IS DUTIABLE.
Says Attorney General Olney in an
Official OpiniOn-Indian Territory
commissioners inSessiOn.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Atterney Gen
eral Olney has rendered an important de-
cision involving an Interpretation of the
"most favored nation clause in the treaty
between the United States and Prussia.
The question propounded by the secre-
tary of the treasury was whether salt i'm
ported from the empire of Germany is
dutiable under paragraph COS, of the new
tariff act, which provides that if salt is
imported from any country, whether in
dependent or a dependency, which i'm
poses duty on salt exported from the
United States, there shall be levied upon
such salt the rate of duty existing prior
to the passage of the act. The attorney
general holds that salt imported from
Germany is legally dutiable, so far as the
favored nation clause is concerned. The
same argument will apply to beet sugar
as to salt.
