price of 10 cents each. l,92l copies have
been so taken, up to the close oftthe year.
Two hundred aud fifty copies renamed

number additional in unbound sheets for
future use.
Lists of additions to the circulating de-
partment, since the printed finding list,
have been currently made on the type
writer and posted on the bulletin boards
at the library. During 1894 it will prob
ably be desirable that those and subse-
quent additions be printed in supple
meut form and supplied to the library
patrons. While doing this it may be feas-
ible, perhaps, to combine with it an author
index to the entire contents of the library
and thus supply "a feature which was omit
ted from the original finding list for rea
sons Of economy.
AS usual, exchanges with other librar-
les and institutions have been carried on

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Recent news
paper mail advices received here from
Japan show that the question of the
terms of peace that Japan will demand
from China is fruitful subject of dis
cussion by the native press. Opinions,
however, differ regarding these terms,
and while some journals condemn,
others are more specific in their de-
mandS than usual. One paper asserts
that Formosa, so important from a
commercial and military point of view,
must at all events be taken. After
detailing what an i'm menSe eXpendi
ture must be incurred in Japan in sup
porting COrea and protecting Japanese
interests in the north of China follow
ing the war, the papers declare that
FormOsa Will have to be annexed as a
resource from which to draw receipts
at least equal to the prospective eXpend-
itures. Another paper enters a
strong protest against the claims adj
vanced that China must surrender ter
ritory entirely out of proportion to the
objects for which the war was under
taken.

FAIR ASSOCIATION.
Organization to Be Perfected To-
morrow Night-SucceSS
Assured.

The Santa Fe Driving Park & Fair as
ISOLATION meets at Sheriff Cunningham
rooms tomorrow evening to hear com
mittee re ports and perfect its organiza'
ton. The leaders in this enterprise are
very enthusiastic over the outlook, and
they have received encouragement on
every side. Their intention is to get the
track in shape Immediately, so that the
rain and snow of winter will serve to
render it in perfect condition for races
next spring. The Santa Fe Water & I'm
provement company has generously
placed all their teams and scrapers at the
disposal of the promoters for track con-
struction purposes and the intention is
to make it the best racing course in the
southwest.
Within the past few months quite a
number of good horses have been pur-
chased by Santa Feans and deals are on
now whereby five or six flyers are to be
added to the list this winter, SO it appears
that the success of the association, SO far
as racing is concerned, is practically
assured.
Should the plans materalize as now an
ticipated Santa Fe will put up territorial
fair next fall that will be worth a great
deal to the business men of this COM
munity.
