HILLsBoRoUGH, N. M, Oct. /, 1894.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The troops meyer ought to have been
quartered at Santa Fe during the past
decade. When the government was
giving up its posts throughout New
Mexico, on account of the settlement
of the country and the driving out of
the numbering Indians, it ought to have
one post near the frontier, at or near
Deming, so that the us. troops could
be of some service along the frontier
IN case of International disturbance
and the invasion of our territory by
foreign Indians. To quarter troops
away up in the northern central part
of New Mexico, at the extremity of
plug feeder to the main railway line
has always appeared absurd. There
they are about three hundred miles
from the frontier, doing other act:
than protecting the lives and property
of the citizens of the US.
1t may be very pleasant for thu
troops and their officers to be at Santa
Fe and TO boast in other places of thei.
conquests among clark eyed segnoritas
of that town. The reported excessive
complaisance of these %"segnoritas" hat
given an unsavory reputation to tn,
whole of New Mexico, and would b
much better for the troops, as well a
the protection of our citizens, if the,
were to move their quarters elsewhere
If there ls any value to real estate il
Santa Fe outside from that caused b,
the sustaining there Of the troops, th
government land and buildings coult
be sold for a price sufficient to build
new post. A move to a lower AM
more healthy altitude with create
stragic position would greatly improv
the morale of the troops stationed il
New Mexico as well as their ef1icienc,
in case of foreign invasion.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.

PINE BLUFF, September Ito
day at Sheriff., J.. L. jenkins shot
DR.. W. G. Mcintosh. 1t is thought
Mcintosh will die. Both live at
Sherill and are prominent men. The
trouble was the result Of a suit for
divorce filed by jenkins against his
wife. They met today, had a fight,
and the doctor was shot. Late re-
ports tonight say he cannot live.
jenkins was brought here, gave
bond for 50, 900 and was released.
Later advices announce the death
of the wounded man late yesterday
evening The community to which
both men belonged is much wrought
up over the tragedy.

ABANDONING OF ARMY POSTS.

WASHINGTON, September 19-It
was perhaps with a view to the un-
expected execution of the plan for
the concentration of troops and the
reduction of the number of army
potts that the formal order to give
it effect was withheld until Congress
had adjourned, and but few Sena-
tors and representatives remained
in Washington. BY the terms of
the order, nine posts were abandon
ed entirely and three are reduced
to insifcance as posts. All but two
of the posts abandoned are in the
West, namely, Fort Marcy, N. M. ;
Fort Bowie, Ariz. Fort Mckinney,
Wyo, Fort Sully, S, D.; Fort Sup
ply, o, T.; Fort Mackinac, Mich.
and Newport Barracks, Ky.
These posts were much help to
the thinly settled Western towns,
causing the expenditure with regu-
larity of large sums OF money by
the garrisons and encouraging bus
mess generally. 1t was not suppos.
ed that they could be abandoned
without some opposition and al
ready flood of protests has begun
to flow in upon the War Depart
ment, demonstrating against the
changes in every case. Gen. Scho'
field, who is acting as Secretary OF
War, has to bear the brunt, but he
is laying aside the papers until the
return of Secretary Lamont, who
must pass upon them in the end,

LEMEN BROS. TO THE FRONT.

OF this great Spectacular produc-
ton the kansas City Star" has
this to say;
The features of the show this
season will be Rajah, the big ele-
phant, and Tom, the boxing kanga-
roo. Rajah has been in this coun-
try one year and is gradually be-
coming civilized and accustomed to
the ways of the American circus.
The circus posters this summer will
say that Rajah is a ''veritable NOV
ing mountain whose stately tread
makes the earth tremble," and the
writer of circus literature has not
stretched his elastic imagination
much in making this statement
either. Rajah is without doubt the
largest elephant in captivity any
where. He is two inches taller than
the late lamented Jumbo was in life
and weighs 1900 pounds more. The
reporter didn't take the agents
statement for this, but measured
the big brute himself and therefore
can speak as one having authority.
Raiah's keeper, Frank Fisher, stays
by his side day and night and the
two are as much in love with each
other as a newly married couple,
Frank is an old-time elephant train
er and is loaded to the muzzle with
interesting stories of the habits and
intelligence of the 'big uns." He
has been with the Lemen show
about a year and has been connect
ed with all of the big shows at diff
ferent times.

yacht Conquerer, and it is said they
go there to meet Mr.. and Mrs. w.
X, Vanderbilt. There has been
some question whether both will re-
turn here, 1t is conceded that w.
X. Vanderbilt could not come here
alone and occupy the marble pal
ace, which is the property of his
wife.
In conversation with society
man, a reporter was told that Mr..
and Mrs. Vanderbilt had patched
up all differences and were coming
here to spend seven weeks, and that
they would entertain IN such man
ner that people would wonder at
the reports of their troubles. That
there had been trouble there was
no doubt, he said. The report of
their coming caused no little ex-
Citement.

ARKANSAS CROP REPORT.

The following is a synopsis of the
weekly crop report, for the week
ending Sept. 18th, at the Little
Rock Cureau, by Prof f, II. Clarke
and his assistants: Very unfavor-
able weather has prevailed during
the past week, though the precip-
tation was not excessive except in
few localities, yet the rains were
frequent.
The temperature has averaged
about one degree below the normal
and the sunshine has been deficient.
Cotton has suffered from the un-
favorable conditions more than any
other crop, and decided falling off
in condition is noted from almost
every section of the State, due to
rust, blight, shedding, worms and
rot. Boil worms are only local, but
complaints of the bolls rotting,
are almost universal.
Late corn has been damaged in
some localities, but in general there
will be a good corn crop,
The frequent showers have inter
fered with saving fodder and pea
hay, much of the former having
been ruined
Turnips, sweet and Irish potatoes
are fine, pastures are good and
stock in excellent condition.
The ground is too wet for fall
plowing and seeding, hence little
has been done.
The following stations report
rainfall as follows: Brinkley, 1871 /;
Forrest City, 1.O3; Fort Smith, 80;
Helena, 80; Little Rock, IA; Nal
vern, ,86; Newport, 1893: Pine Bluff,
.43; Prescott, 2;27; Russellville, 1858;
Texarkana, 1:15.

AFTER THE RAILROADS.

A special dispatch from Austin,
Tex, under date of Sept, IS, says:
The railway commission has called
on the attorney general for his
opinion as to its power to regulate
the compressing of cotton in con-
nection with the transportation of
that staple, preparatory to pro-
ceeding by the injunction method
against violators of its regulations
in that respect if the opinion is fa-
vorable.
During the last week the COM
mission has been complained to
that cotton shipments to Galveston
over the Houston & Texas Central,
and ordered compressed in transit,
had been carried past seven inte-
rior congresses and compressed in
Houston, in direct violation of the
commissions regulations, and it is
for the purpose of proceeding
against the offenders that the com
mission is seeking to learn just how
far it can go in this direction. 1t
is also probable that as soon as
Judge Mclean returns and there is
a full board the Galveston-H Houston
ditferential question will be reopen
ed and the differential satisfactori-
ly re-adjusted,
We should not be at all surprised
if the Texas commission should re-
ceive similar complaints on the
same subject from this section of
the state. Indeed we do not think
this order, which prohibits the car
rying of cotton by the railway COM
pany beyond the nearest compress
on its road, to be pressed at some
central point, is obeyed in North
Texas much more strictly than in
central and southern portions of
the state.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet.
terthan others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 90 cent bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

accept any substitute if offered.

WAR IN THE EAST.
Later Advices Enlarge Upon the Jap
anese Victory, Showing Utter
Rout of Chinese Forces.

Yesterdays cable news from Lon
don, Eng, giving additional details
of the overwhelming defeat of the
Chinese forces, by their japanese
adversaries, announce, among other
things, the receipt, in London, of a
dispatch from Ping Pang, COrea,
of the previous date which says:
Every hour adds to the crushing
character of Chinese defeat. The
total Chinese loss during the battle
is now said to be over 1900 men
killed, wounded prisoners. The Jap
anese cavalry is continuing the pur-
suit of the Chinese who succeeded
in escaping, and detachments of
troops continue bringing in squads
of Captured Chinese. The Chinese
prisoners not wounded were parad-
ed yesterday in a circle of Japan
ese troops, and it was seen that
they numbered 4,500. 1t is prob
able that this number will be in
creased in the next few days by
prisoners who are being constantly
brought in by the japanese cavalry.
Many of the Chinese captured were
found hiding in the quiet portions
of the city. Besides Gen. TIE Fonk
Wal, commander-in-chief of the
Manchuren army, who fought des-
perately to the last, and only sur
rendered when badly wounded.
The japanese captured four other
important commanders of the Chi
nese forces, namely: Gen, Izo Pook
Woe, Gen. Wei Ink Wei, Gen. Nagu
Kow Eng, and Gen. Sci Kin Sin,
practically all the Chinese staff.
The Chinese prisoners will be sent
to Japan in patches of1000 on board
japanese transports at anchor in
Ia Tong River.
The Daily Graphic in an article
under the caption, "The Chinese
Sedan" comments on the Ping
Yang battle at length. The Jap
anese, the article says, have man
aged the campaign with a grasp
of military science and soldierly
ability deserving of the utmost
credit.
The Daily News says 1t is diff
cult to see how China can recover
from the blow which reveals the es-
sential weakness of her military
eqipment and administration. The
powers will probably be content to
accept the fates accomplish if the
Japanese are wise enough to show
moderation and a just sense of their
position. The moment is favorable
for the neutral powers to renew
their overtures for peace. China
might easily grant the virtual indie
pendence of Corea which Japan is
probably willing to accept.

Miss0uri's Senators on the Tariff.

'iI
The Herald does not believe
that there is a drop Of dishonest
blood in the veins OF Senators Vest
and Cockrill, and it believes that
they both labored zealously and
faithfully for the most liberal tariff
reform to be secured in the Senate,
but it is sorry that either of them
should have suffered themselves to be
used as Il partial shield to German
and hts confederates against the
merited ,hrusts of President Cleve-
land. The Democrats of the United
States want to know who it is that
have been delaying and prostituting
tariff legislation in the United States
Senate, while the whole country
has been waiting patiently and
anxiously for the promised and
needed relief from business stagna-
ton, and now that Dir. Cleveland
exposed them, their political cruci-
fixion is only Il matter of time, and
those who may attempt to shield
the traitors from just rebuke and
consideration, will certainly share
the same fate.
