A. il. U. waited upon them to solicit their
aid in favor of the strike. The brother.
hood expressed sympathy with the strik-
ers, but stated that their bylaws forbade
them to iudorse the strike unless they had
grievance of their own. The A. r. U.
officers said they expected this, but that
the lodge was with them Just the same.

Thomas Roberts. the leader of the
strike. talked last evening about the
causes of the strike. 1--WE struck" ne
said, because the Southern Pacific had
discharged three of our men-Frapks

The president has been using all his
powers of persuasion on the tower man.
He knows that if he can get them out no
trains OF any kind can run. So far
Charles Hall of tower 2 is the only one to

A SCRAPPY SESSION.
The Delegates to the Federation of
labor Seem to Develop Il Good
Deal of FrictfOn-The Single
Tax Advocated.

Denver, Dec. 15.--The discussion of the
socialistic plank in the political platform
was resumed in the convention of the
American Federation of Labor this fore
noon. Delegate Lloyd, of Boston, moved
to refer the plank to subordinate unions.
Patrick McBryde, secretary of the Mine
Workers, said that he was willing to take
such action. He was instructed to vote
for the plank, but he hoped that if it was
voted upon it would be defeated, 'because
our side," he added, "can accept defeat
good naturedly and from displays ir this
convention doubt if the other side can"
Treasurer Lennon supported Lloyd's
motion on the ground that the vote in
many unions on the platform question
was n0n representive one. P.J. Mcclure
made strong argument against re-refer-
ring. He said that the question
HAD MADE TROUBLE ENOUGH
in the unions. He was once socialist,
but had become convinced of the folly of
the idea. Mr.. Morgan said that Mcclure
had reflected upon him. He said that he
got his first Lessons in socialism from
Mcclure, when he was organizer for the
socialist labor party. "He was in rags
said Morgan, "and was ashamed of his
personal appearance" Amid cries of
"shame" the speaker was called to order
by the chair, who ruled that the floor had
been forfeited. Morgan appealed from
this decision and the chair was sustained.
Delegate Pomeroy made vigorous adj
dress against socialism. He said that the
greatest need of the day was the abolition
of that un-American organization, the A..
PA. He strongly advocated the single
tax theory

AN ASSURED FACT.
Gov. Thornton Writes that Statehood
is All Right-The Posts
Personal.

Under date of Tuesday of this week,
writing from Washington City to the edi-
tor of the NEW MKxIc CAN, Gov. Thornton
says: statehood is now an assured fact
This is the most direct and positive news
that has yet come to hand on this all i'm
portant subject, and it is, tis needless to
remark, most gratifying. The governor
makes this declaration after having put
in four days in studying the situation at
the national capital.
In the Washington Post of the 11th
inst. the New MEXICAN finds this personal
mention of New Mexico's::executive:
"The chief executive of New Mexico,
Gov. W. L. Thornton, who is guest at
the National, is as much of a typical
Missourian now as he was when he left
his native state good many years ago
to ty his fortune further west. He ia
Dem ocratic in manners as well as in
politics, and is here to help on the pas
sage Of the bill that will make New Mex
leo a state.
"We have felt the bad times in the terri
tory, said the governor, particularly
on account of the decline in mineral
values. In mine that l possess the
slump amounts to at least $4,000 a month.
Of course, everybody Knows about silver,
but lead, which was one of our great
products, has suffered equally. 1t is now
worth $50 ton, against $ll0 when the
Mckinley bill went into operation. That
put up the duty on silver, lead ores, and
caused the establishment of big smelling
plants in Old Mexico, as tho ores could
no longer be brought into this country.
The result was that they turned out lead
in enormous quantities down there, which
was merely by-product of secondary
value and subsidiary to silver production
and which they were glad to dispose of in
this country at any price. AS conse-
quence Mexican lead was dumped on this
side of the Rio Grande and prices have
been falling ever since.'"

Stover, of Fargo, N. d., who has reported
m ore celebrated divorce cases dnring the
past year than any other maosars the
country, is touring the northwespp Fargo,
he says, habgrown to be the mecca which
the unhappy people of the country seem
bent on reaching. Talking on the sub
ject of divorce in North Dakota, he said:
"The general public has little idea of
the magnitude of this infant industry.
The number of pilgrims reaches startling
figures. careful estimate made recently
after visit to all the lawyers in the city
places the total number who are serving
time preparatory to filing actions for
separation at upward of ninety.
"These people are mostly residents of
the east, New York and Boston furnishing
the largest contingent. Naturally, they
are persons of wealth and prominence,
who prefer to Journey to the frontier to
wash their dirty linen. Several ultra
fashionable hotels and boarding houses
accept no patrons who are not members

A BIG COLONY.
European Settlers Looking Toward
New MeXicO-AbOut 10000 Acres
Will Be Needed.

One thousand new families for New
Mexico!
That announcement can probably be
truthfully made in the near future as Il
result Of an investigation which is this
week going on in the territory.
Hon. Amado Chaves, who has just re-
turned from Valencia county, whittier he
accompanied the agent of syndicate Of
settlers, was interviewed yesterday by a
New MEXICAN reporter and gave the facts
in full. He said:
II have just come back from the Rio
Grande valley where I have been in COM
pany with Mr.. Daniel Griest, of Lincoln,
Kas., who is immigration agent for the
Union Pacific railroad Mr.. Griest is
here as the representative of New York
syndicate of Austrians, who have under
taken to provide homes for at least a
! thousand families of their countrymen,
who desire to einigrate to this country
These prospective immigrants
ARE NOT pAUpERs,
but belong to society, organized for the
purpose of removing to new country,
under whose regulations each person
must be man of family with trade aud
at least $1,000 capital. Under condi-
tions in the old country each person has
only an acre Of. two for cultivation and
they desire to locate where they will have
more room.
"Mr. Griest spent some time in Rio Ar
| riba and San Juan counties and was very
much pleased with the looks of the coun-
try. He was in this city Tuesday and
conferred with Capt. S. H. Day, of the
water company, as to the prospects for
irrigation in the valley lands near this
city.
''From Santa Fe, we went down to
Valencia where we were Joined by New
York attorney who came for the purpose
F., of Investigating titles, should location
be decided on. After looking into the
country near Los Lunas, returned to
Santa Fe.
"Mr. Griest and his companion are look
ing over the ground near Las Cruces to-
day and will go thence to the Pecos val
ley, coming back north for the purpose
of looking into property in Taos county
owned by Mr.. Alex. Gusdorf and ex-Gov.
O. A. Hadley, who have made them a
proposition.

county which secures this population will
be fortunate indeed as they are thrifty
and intelligent people. meeting of the
syndicate, which has branch offices in
Pittsburg and Chicago, will be held in the
latter place on the goth and feel certain
| that Mr.. Griest will make report upon
the matter favorable to one of the locali
ties which he has inspected in this terri
tory"
Mr.. Chaves is constantly receiving let
ters asking for information as to the re-
sources of this territory and he is of the
opinion that more energetic efforts
should be made to present the natural ad
vantages of what is soon to be "the sun
shine state" to the very desirable class of
immigrants who are locking out for a
western Eldorado.

ceived in the King-The Dempsey
Ryan Fight Declared or

New Orleans, Dec. 15.-Andy Bowen,
who was defeated in the auditorium last
night by Kid Lavigne, of Saginaw, Mich,
died this morning from the effects of the
punishment received. The blow which
sent Bowen down was not one of extra
ordinary force and was delivered at short
range. He was 80 weak as to be able to
make no resistance, and falling directly
over backward. his head struck the un-
padded floor with tremendous force.
The doctors say that the striking of
his head upon the floor produced con-
fusion of the brain.
Captain Williams, of the auditorium,
said to-day that the club did not intend
to violate the law, and that until the un-
fortunate affair of last night was fully
investigated, it would give no further
glove contests. The lempsy- Ryan fight
has been accordingly declared off,
LAvIGNE ALLOWED BAIL.
Lavigne's bail has been fixed at $10,-
900, the others at $4,000. Duffee, the
referee, and Spitzfadden were the only
ones to furnish bond. Kid Lavigne,
Billy Mccarthy, Sam Fitzpatrick, Jim
Hall, Martin Murphy and George Consi-
dine were sent to jail.

Sioux Falls Press: The Press isn't
going TO charge that the average popu-
list is either humbug or a rascal simply
because there have been men like War
dali and Loucks to run scandinavian
elevator schemes, and Fidelity insurance
schemes, and alliance store schemes,
and other Jim Crow projects; or because
there have been populists who have
tried to organize thresher trusts as in
Grant and other countless or because
the developments in Kansas, where tn e
government has been in the hands OF
populists, have shown such instances OF
corruption in the way of public black.
mail as would inspire a feeling OF
fraternal admiration among the rulers
Of New York's Tammany; or because
in North Dakota, where the populists
have been in control of the state govern
ment, the common wealth is bankrupt
although the per capita rate of state ex-
pense has been twice that OF South Da-
kota; or because Of similar frauds and
failures elsewhere; but it ought TO be

political purity so ostentatiously as does
the populist party, would rise up and
denounce the fraud and treachery ol
men and factions i'm its own ranks who
