LETTER FROM DOLE.
The President Of Hawaii Writes Min
lister Willis a Letter Of Explana-
tiOn-Rnther Caustic.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Advices re-
ceived from Honolulu, February 8, by the
steamer, Alameda, give the full text OF
President Dole's letter to Minister Willis,
in reply. to the letter's request for specifi-
cations of the statement made in his
previous letter to Dole in regard to the
attitude of the United States government
Dole's letter Is very lengthy. He says: "In
compliance with your request for certain
specifications concerning my letter OF
December 27, reply thereto as follows;
First, you inquire as to the meaning OF
the word attitude in my letter. re-
ply that the word was used IN its ordinary
accepted sense, meaning posture, as indi-
eating the purpose Of those referred to.
You further say, will you point out
where and when and how, the Representa-
tive of the United States assumed any at.
titude toward the supporters of the pro-
visional government, or that the govern
ment itself, other than one essentially
and designately expressive Of peace In
my reply would say, that the attitude of
a person is to be ascertained only by in
ferences drawn from known words and
acts of such person, and the conditions
and circumstances under which they take
place."

THIEVES CAUGHT.
Sheriff Cunningham Makes Another
Clever Capture-They Stole
Eight Head of Cattle.

The capture of Anastacio Baca and Pa
bio Lucero y Vigil, the two cattle thieves,
by Sheriff Cunningham last Sunday, turns
out to be more important than was at
first thought. Vigil is youth who ap-
pears to have been used as tool by
some sharp thieves, and as there was no
strong evidence connecting him with any
real crime, he was discharged. Baca was
bound over by Justice j. NJ. Garcia, to await
the action of the grand jury in the sum
of $500. Baca stole eight head of cattle
from Desiderio Rael at Cienega. He told
q tale of meeting man on the prarie,
from whom he purchased the cattle. The
man, according to Baca, was walking
stationery shop. He did not wait until
they reached house to complete the
transaction, but sitting down upon the
prarie, he pulled out ink, pen and paper
and wrote out bill of sale. Baca has
probably never heard of the fountain
pen or he would have made his tale
sound moro probable

IMPROVING SANTA FE.
A Citizen Writes to Make Some Time
ly Suggestions Touching the
Bringing of Visitors.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Feb. 13.--Your remarks in
Mondays issue concerning the efforts
which should be made to attract visitors
and health seekers to Santa Fe are both
timely and proper. But Santa Feans
ought not to rest satisfied with printed
statements and assurances. There is
much virtue in altitude, and it may be the
principal'req uisite in bringing about per-
manent cures for the afflicted, but it never
can be the principal requisite in bring
ing people to Santa Fc. 1t is, doubtless,
strong card, but in the matter of altl-
tude alone, purer and less edulterated
old Nambe can discount Santa Fe any
day in the week.
The people who come here, enjoy the
place and its surroundings, and 60 away
satisfied with the treatment received, will
be the best and most advantageous ad-
vertising medium that can be secured.
But are you going to assume that badly

Proper Thing for Maryland 10 Do.

The controversy between Virginia and
Maryland will be partly settled by the

ginia oyster navy in Maryland waters.
one Of our Baltimore exchanges says that
this is doing the handsome thing in a
handsome way. although Virginia had 10
right 10 seize a Maryland boat in Mary
land territory" This may be true. but fl
is now high time for Maryland 70 do the
proper thing and keep its citizens from
depredating I'm Virginia waters. The
United States Supreme Court has fully
recognized the dividing line between the
territories OF the two States and there
is now no excuse for the invasion OF our
waters by the Marylanders Moreover,
the Virginia Legislature. At It's last ses-
sion. passed an act giving Maryland the
right to pursue offenders against her laws
ten miles into Virginia territory, pro-
vded that Maryland should enact a SINH
lar law giving Virginia reciprocal rights.

4 SERIOUS MATTER.

We take from the money article Of the
latest Saturday Review. Of London, the
following:
soThA strikes in America have made
very great impression all over Europe
and the public Is holding absolutely aIoof.
b EGr some Sns a5SPR st ha tSe fail IN Ae
can securities had been carried too fer,
and. consequently. they had been buying
in the hope that they would be able 10 SCI
on favorable terms TO the public bye-and-
bye. The strikes have caused further
fall in prices, and many Of the operators
are in Consequence seriously emDarrasse1
1t is not likely that there viii be nluch
recovery for some time, since II Is lneVltd,
bic that so complete a dislocatiop OF
business must add TO the depression IN
trade"
THIS Is a most serious statement. II
the whole financial world is going to boy
colt us our present most unhappy c0ndi-
ton will become thousand times worse.
We see every steamer carrying our gold
away, 900 600 having gone only last Satur-
day, all taken from the United states
Treasury. and the drain for It appears to
be without any sort of limit. This gold is
not sent abroad 10 pay either a balance
in trade or any old debts due there.
The balance of trade for twelve months
past has been enormously In our favor
at all times. and obligations due there
could have been easily paid out of this
This gold is money sent to Europe in
exchange for American securities which
Europeans are sending here for sale, or
deposits of gold transmitted to London
by wealthy Americans, who are as much
alarmed at the unsettled condition Of
affairs here as the Europeans are
1t will produce another financial panic
that will overwhelm this country with
disaster unless the cause for it is re-
moved. That part Of the cause which
grew ont Of the strikes will soon be re-
moved. The strikes will be forgotten in
a short time. But another. and the really
serious part OF the cause will remain
That IS the fear men have that Congress
will pass a law TO make creditors take
silver dollars worth only fifty cents when
one hundred cents. Whilst apprehension
OF that hangs over the country the drain
on our gold will continue until every dol
lar of 1t has gone out of the country
and We are left TO do business with sill
yer dollars worth only fifty cents or IRE
deemable paper promises 10 pay dollars
which no one will take, who does not
live in the United States. and no citizen
OF the United States will take except I'M

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 1894.
ICE ON SUNDAY.

Two small ice dealers were reported by
tho police last Sunday for violating the
law against doing business on sunday
Dozens Of other businesses were being
conducted during the same Sunday. in
omen violation of the law, and none OF the
parties violating 1t were reported. Water
melons were delivered, fish were DELIVERED
ice cream was delivered. and fruit stores
were wide open, street cars ana rdii""3s
were running. newspapers were dehVereu'
yet none Of the parties engaged IN these
businesses were molested in any way
What is the meaning of this? Is the Ia"
TO be enforced against some whilst others
are allowed TO set it at defiance? Is there
a pull upon the police force somewhere
that makes them active in enforcing the
law where some strong interests VIII De
subserved, but inert and Indifferent about
enforcing IL where none but weak inter-
ests are concerned?
We believe ice to be a necessity during
several months. and. therefore. that de-
livery of II on Sunday is within the law.
There are thousands Of poor people in
Richmond who have no refrigerators. and
cannot carry a supply Of ice from Satur-
day until Monday. a baby being nursed
on the bottle must have its milk Kept
on ice in hot weather. or 1t will be poi
soned and killed. Ice is absolutely neces-
sary to sick people. We believe, there
fore that there is no reason for forbid
ding the delivery of ice on Sunday. But
II the law is enforced against those who
deliver ice on Sunday it must be enforced
also against all others.

FORCE THE ISSUE.

The news from Washington is still of
the most unsatisfactory character.
Whether the conferees upon the part of
the House mean what they say or are
only playing a game of bluff, The fact
remains that they so far furnish no indi-
cation of an intention TO yield. 1t is
perfectly plain TO us that they must yield
and accept the Senate bill or all tariff
legislation must fail. The bill barely got
through the Senate at all, and whoever
knows anything at all about the situation
knows that it is not possible to pass any
other bill through the Senate. The at
tempt of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Wilson
10 compel the Senate TO put coal and iron
on the free list is one Of the most foolish
undertakings that sensible men ever en-
gagged in. The senators from West Viz
ginia Alabama, and, we question not,
Virginia are not going TO consent to this,
and no bill can pass the Senate that
they do not consent to. Nor can we
blame them for their resolution. Their
States are deeply interested in coal and
iron. and any bill that passes must inevi-
tably contain the principle of protection.
II bill is TO be framed upon the princi-
pie of protection they are perfectly right
TO demand that their States shall have
the same recognition that is given TO the
most favored States. Not only so, but
coal and iron ore are plainly revenue-pro-
ducing articles. There is no sense in
placing burdens upon other importations
and admitting these free.
We are very clear about the duty of the
be held towards the end of this week and
resolutions should be passed instructing
the conferees upon the part OF the House
TO agree to the Senate bill. II they re-
fuse to do this after that resolution Is
passed. the House should then remove
them and appoint other conferees VINO
will execute the will OF the House. The
case is too serious TO admit of any further
temporising. When the Senate bin makes
a saving of 30 per cent. in McKinley's
taxation and the House bin would make
a saving OF only 3S per cent. we cannot
look upon this unyieldlng rejection of the
Senate bill and demand for the House
bill as anything but unreasonable .obsti-
macy. verging vecy closely upon positive
stupidity. The difference between the
saving that the Senate bill would make
and what the House bill would make is
a trihe compared with the losses we are
suffering every day. and the Senate bill
makes an enormous saving for the people.
and is therefore a positive blessing TO
them that IT would be criminal 10 de-
prive them OF.
And this IL the united voice of the
country. Note that.
