Steamer traffic between Yaquins
and San Francisco is getting quite
lively There are now three steam
ers plying regularly on the route,
the Homer, the South Coast and
Scotia, and all of them find plenty
of freight to carry. This is quite a
contrast to the situation OF a year
ago when the superb railroaders,
Hadley and Mulcahy, were busily
employed In losing every bit of
traffic the road ever had. In those
dark days one steamer carried all
the freight and then went half load.
ed much of the time.
Last Fridays o. P. freight met
with quite an accident about four
miles east of Toledo, A broken
brake beam on the engine tender
caused two cars to jump the track,
and mixed things up generally.
The track was pretty badly torn up
and the freight and the regular pas
senger which was following, were
delayed until about midnight,
Bert Waugh, one of the freight
brakemen, walked into Toledo and
notified Agent Gather of the wreck
and the latter sent message to va.
quina and an extra train with a
Wrecking crew were sent to the
wreck. The passengers and mail
were transferred and brought down.
The cars derailed were flats loaded
with stone from Pioneer, and the
big, heavy stone made bad, mess

hurt, but two buns who were steal

whole thing was arranged especial

parted from that region would have

A GOOD RECORD.

The q. s. court of private land claims
will adjourn tomorrow until. January
next. During the present session of this
high and important tribunal it has made
most satisfactory progress In its work All
cases set for trial were heard and decisions
were rendered in all cases except a half
dozen in which consent has been granted
for the filing of briefs on either side. 1t
the opinion of the court that the exist
ence of the court, which ends, under the
law, on December 81, 1895, will have to
be extended several years. Up to the
present time not more than third of
the cases on the docket have been heard,
and it is estimated that by the end of
1895, when the courts existence will
cease, unless prolonged, not moro than
one-half the cases for trial shall have
been determined. This state of affairs Is
not due to any lack of diligence on the
part of the court or of the government
attorneys. On the contrary the zeal and
energy which have characterized both has
been a matter of universal comment. The
delay has simply been due to the fact
that the bulk of business has been only
recently filed and the labor involved in
the preparation has been beyond oompu-
tation. As an illustration of the work
necessary, Judge Fuller's trip to Mexico
may be cited. A little later one of the
judges will go to California for the pur-
pose of taking testimony and it is very
probable that within the next few months
one will 60 to Spain to make personal
inspection of the records in Madrid. In
view of the great service which this court
is doing the people of the west it is not
believed that there will be any difficulty
in securing an extension of the existence
of the court.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Honest journalism.

A number of journals in this territory
seem to take pleasure in casting slurs and
abuse upon Gov. Thornton. While we
believe the affairs of this territory would
be better managed under a Republican
administration, We can find no reason or
excuse for the senseless falsehoods of
these papers. While the corruptness of
most of the Democratic ring masters
around the capital is evident enough, the
governor has ever held to straight
forward, progressive course.--Roswell
Register.
We lift our hat to the Register, not that
we are interested in Gov. Thornton, but
because we admire man who can recog-
nize the good qualities of his political
opponents, and who Is honest enough to
say so. Mr.. Redfield, here's how!---thanks.

ALL authorities agree that the next
house of congress will continue to be
Democratic by healthy majority. This
being the case, no business man who de-
sires to see New Mexico prosper through
the medium of statehood can afford to
vote any but the Democratic ticket. The
sending of a Republican delegate to con-
gress would certainly spoil every vestige
of a chance for New Mexico's admission
for years to come.

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

By a clever legislative trick, manipu-
lated by Mr.. Catron, the New Mexico poll

promptly wiped out by the Legislature of

Mr.. Joseph on an equal footing for the

prosecution. stated that they would, to
save time, close their case, reserving the
right to call DR.. Watson when his con-
dition permitted, if they desired. Then
Attorney Topper advanced to make the
opening statement for the defense. He
stated the defense would prove Heath
and McWhirter were close friends and
that when W. D. Grady, a lawyer OF
this city, abused McWhirter after the
latter's death, Heath struck Grady in
the face. Upper impeached the testi-
mony OF the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion generally, and suggested that the
suicide theory was still worth consider
alton. Mrs. Palmer's testimony impli-
eating Reel Terry was also touched upon
and an alibi that Judge Harris spent
the night with Terry was promised.
j. K. Austin WAS the first witness for
the defense. He testified to converse
tions of M. NJ. Parsons, witness for the
prosecution, with Heath. j. D. Collins
substantiated Austin's testimony.

Prendergsst attempted to punch the
eyes out Of Charles Johnson, his death

broomstick and struck johnson in the
face twice as the latter sat in front OF
the cell, barely missing Johnson's left
eye. Jailer Morris ordered Prendergast

the handle through the bars. jaDbed
Johnson twice in the face with the

Havana from the captain of the steamer
Orion today says the U. S. S. Kearsarge
has been blown up and burned by the
natives. Previous TO the destruction Of
the vessel the natives of San Andres
island had rifled the deck of everything

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Secretary
Herbert has received a dispatch from
the officer of the wrecking vessel which
departed from Boston to cave the hull Of
the Kearsarge, which stranded on Ron
cador reef, stating that the Kesrsarge
had been burned and was total wreck.
The order for court-martisl in the
case of Lieut.. Charles D. Lyman OF the
Kearsarge ia based upon two charges.
The first is based on neglect of duty,
and the specifications are that the
lieutenant failed TO take an observation
for longitude on the day of the wreck,
aud that he neglected to obtain the
local deviation OF the compass OF the
vessel on the 1st and I'd days OF Feb
ruary last. The second charge is culpa-
BILE ineticiency in the performance of
duty, and the specification is that Ly-
man, aH navigator, knowing that at sun
set the vessel had nearly run her esti-
mated distance from the 4 O'Clock p. M
meridian position plated by him. to the
position OF Roncador bank, and know
ing the difficulty of sighting the bank
from q safe distance after darkness,
under existing conditions, failed to ad-
wise his commanding officer, ss it was
clearly his duty to do, to lay safe
course to the northwerd before continu-
ing on a westerly course, in consequence
