CHIEF JUSTICE.

1t Is Understood Thnt Justice Gill
fillan Is About to Resign.
st. Paul, Nov. 25.-There is little, if
any, doubt that before another month
has passed Chief Justice Gilhllan, Of
the supreme court. will tender his
resignation, aud that Judge Start,
the newly. elected chief justice. will
at once be called upon to take his seat.
Chief Justice Gilfillan has not been in
the best of health for some time past,
and he has never fully recovered
from the attack he suffered at the
capitol about two months ago. While
his condition is not regarded as dan
gerous. he is quite ill, and it is re-
garded as improbable that he will be
able to return to the capitol again
for any length of time, if at all.

WE MUST RETALIATE.

Policy of the German Government
Toward Our Products One Of Re-
PRESTON.
Washington. Nov. %. - Indications
multiply to show that the German gov
eminent is pursuing a repressive pol
icy toward importations from the
United States that in the end may call
for retaliation. The latest evidence
is contained in a report to the state de-
partment from United States consul
Robertson at Hamburg. He says that
a movement is being set on foot by the
imperial government looking for the
complete exclusion Of dried and evap-
crate apples from the United States,
which are found to contain more than
a certain amount of zinc, supposed to
be taken up from the zinc frames on
which the fruit is dried. The result
will be a severe blow to the trade.

Il. Marsden, the Presbyterian clergy
man of Fort Gary who fell into rut
on Menlo avenue Tuesday night, is in
a critical condition at the home of A.
Beveridge. His physician says he has
suffered an intestinal rupture and that
his recovery is very doubtful. The
rut was two feet deep in street in
the suburbs and the road had been
considered so da lgerous that it was
used only when it was absolutely nee
essary. The injury to Mr.. Marsden
is the more serious because he has not
been strong for several years. His
wife is at his bedside.

Details of that Battle.

San Francisco, Dec. 14.-Particulars of
the fall of Port Arthur reached here to-
day by steamer. That event was un-
doubtedly announced in America before
the news was circulated in Japan. The
feet arrayed against Port Arthur was
almost identically the same as that which
won the battle at Taikosan harbor in
September. Several men, of-war watched
the proceedings, among them the United
States ship, Baltimore, which, it is re-
ported, was on one occasion mistaken for
q Chinese vessel and came near being
by Youshine and Taka-Chico.
An ugly story is told of the action of Ad-
miral Freemantle, who, it is alleged, gave
premature alarm to the Chinese by firing
a salute while tine body of the Japanese
troops was disem barking.

LaNOr'S New Methods.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 14.-Milwaukee
labor unions have begun work on a new
line. Not content with organizing all
the trades into unions, they now propose
to build up ward and precinct unions
composed of all classes of skilled and
unskilled laborers, merchants, profess
sional men and others. In short, they
mean to use the word "workingman". in
its broadest sense. They hope in this
way to break down class prejudices and
put the locomotive engineer on fraternal
footing with sewer digger, the school
teacher and the grocer's clerk, at least
once or twice month. These ward and
precinct clubs are expected to educate the
masses of the working people who are
not now reached by the trades unions, in
the principles of popular government,
as the unions understand them. Partic.
ularly it Is hoped that these clubs will
promote INDEPENDENT voting in city elec-
tions.

council has the project in hand ard will

TO A NEW FIELD.
Resignation Of Manager NJ. P. Pels, of
the Maxwell Land Grant-His
Splendid Work III Behalf
Of New Mexico.

1t is announced that Mr.. M. P. Pels has
resigned as general manager of the Max
vel land grant to take effect January 1,
and that he will then remove to Denver
where he will be located in the future. At
hls juncture few words about the work
of a mar who has done very mach to pro.
mote the interests Of New Mexico and
especially its northeast counties are most
timely and appropriate.
Mr.. Pels hes, during his experience as
manager of this great property, settled
many questions of great and pressing
Importance in prompt and fair manner
that has won him no small amount of
well-deserved praise. His administration
has been characterized by progressive
spirit which has set pace from which
other similar territorial enterprises have
learned the road to prosperity.
Since Mr.. Pels took hold of the prop
erty railroad to Catskill has been com
pleted, saw mills and charcoal ovens have
been erected, an extensive telephone sys-
tenn has been constructed, and two
bitches and reservoir systems have been
built. In addition, irrigation has been
encouraged, the sale of lands inaugurated,
gold mines thrown open to prospectors,
many new roads constructed and two
thriving towns, Maxwell City and Cats
XIII, have been created A liberal system
of advertising inaugurated, by which ths
public at large has lad access to maps,
pamphlets and other publications bear
ing on the Maxwell grant, has benefited
not only that great body of land and its
owners, but has also advertised in very
effective way the resources of the whole
of New Mexico.
Mr.. Pels is president of the Costilla
grant, and represents number of large
Holland interests. He does not sever his
connection with the Maxwell Grant COM
pany in resigning as general manager,
but goes to Denver where he will have
larger field in which to operate the varied
