London News Comments Upon Demo
cratic silver Conference ami
Revival or BUSINESS in the
United states.

London, Aug. 17-Commenting upon
it's New York dispatch which details the
doings of to-day's Democratic silver con-
ference at Washington and the impulse to
return to prosperity throughout the
United States, the Daily News in an edl-
torial says:
"The dispatch would furnish a good
text for the speech which Lord Farrer is
announced to deliver at next Saturday, g
meeting of the Golden club. Nobody
ever believed the wage earning classes of
the great American cities would abandon
all to the silver dollar. The tendency to
turn against protection is the more inter-
esting because less generally expected.
"Six months ago the election of an
other protection president was confident
ly counted upon. Our correspondent in
forms Us that the prospect is now chang
ing. An enormous increase of trade fol-
lowed the passage of the Wilson bill, and
proved, in rough and ready way, most
effectiv ely to the electors, that Mckinley
did not hold the only key to the industrial
paradise. 1t is not clear that there is
any man of sufficient power and popu-
larity to win his support from all Sec
tions of the country, but the feeling
against increasing the tariff will proba-
bly, induce the Republicans to drop Nc
Kinlev."

Now that the narrow gauge road be-
tween Espanola and Santa Fe has passed
into the hands of the Rio Grande, it ia
being improved and put IN frst-class
shape, and train crews are being run
through from Autonito to Santa Fe. Pres
ldent Jeffery has been over the line, and
promised the people of Santa Fe to do all
in his power to develop the traffic which
should naturally come to it. AS that
official always means what he says, and is
also always open to reasonable sugges-
tions, the News regards it as proper
time to renew the agitation for through
train to Santa Fe, leaving Denver in the
morning. The fact that all trains for
New Mexico leave Denver in the evening
has always been a serious drawback to
communication with that territory. Den
yer papers and mail are twenty-four hours
old before they leave the state en- route to
New Mexico, which enables the Kansas
City and st. Louis papers and mail of the
same date to get into Santa Fe on the
same train. If mail train were run
from Denver in the morning, this dis
elimination against Denver would not
exist.
By the way of Salida to Santa Fe the
distance is 46l miles. By the Veta Pass
route, the distance is 400 miles, the last
named route being ffty-two miles shorter

TOLLS TIGHTENING.
Holmes Will Have to Answer For
His Bloody Crimes In Chicago
Chen Toronto Will Claim
Him.

Philadelphia, Aug. i7.-It has practi-
cally been decided that II. Fl. Holmes, the
alleged murderer OF Minnie and Mamie
Williams, b. F. Peitzel and half dozen
Others, will GO to Chicago for the murder
of the Williams girls. This, it is said,
was the outcome of lengthy conference
held in this city to-day between w. A.
Capps, of Fort Worth, Texas, and Dis
triot Attorney Graham. After the con-
ference Lawyer Capps said he had urged
the district attorney to allow Holmes to
70 to Chicago, and that Mr.. Graham
could hardly refuse to grant his request.
oANxp1AN AUTHORITIES WANT HOLMES.
Toronto.--Deputy Attorney General
Cartwright was seen this morning regard
ing the finding of verdict OF murder
against Holmes, given last night by the
coroner's jury, and he emphatically stated
that, should the United States authorities
fail to convict the prisoner, the province
OF Ontario would spare no expense to
bring him to Justice.

San Franc,sco, Aug. 17.-Since the re-
tirement Of Juror Brown the selection of
four additional jurors for the trial of
Theodore Durrant has caused the police
department a good deal Of worry. Cap.
tain OF Detectives Lees is suspicious Of

Saida. A train scheduled at eighteen
miles an hour can easily cover the dis
tance in twenty-five to twenty four hours.
The daylight run would be from Denver
to Alamosa, the rest of the distance being
run at night.
Whether such train would pay is an
other question. At first it undoubtedly
would not. Bot it would result in Great
ing closer commercial communication
between New Mexico and all of Colorado,
and thus build up business which would

GOLDEN'S GRIST.
Sale of Copper Pr0perty-The Har-
old Purchase Mining Matters
Looking All Right.

Correspondence New Mexican.
Golden, Santa Fe Co., Aug. 15.-Thc
sale of the San Rafael copper mining
claim by Henry and Stephen Colwell, of
La MADEIRA, and Juan E. Segura, of San
Pedro, for nice little sum last Monday
was an agreeable surprise to this COM
munity. The deal was worked so quietly
that no one knew anything about it, ex-
cepting the parties directly interested,
until it was consummated. The nego-
tiations we're engineered by Val. Schick,
of Cerrillos.
On account of the absence of the par
ties interested your correspondent is un-
able to give the exact amount paid for
the claim, but have obtained reliable in
formation that the lucky discoverers and
locators above named received quite a
stake from the sale of the property.
As yet have not ascertained who the
real purchasers are, but have information
sufficient to lead me to believe that this
transaction means considerably more to
this section than appears on the face of
it, and more of similar nature will fol-
low soon.
1t means the development of this and
other desirable prospects, which have long
lain idle. Development, properly pro.
secuted, will make producing mines out
of these prospects, which is what this
camp needs to bring it to the front.
1t looks as if this part of Santa Fe
county will from this time on receive the
consideration it has SO long justly de-
served.
The building of the Cerrillos smelter
and the prospective building of the d. &
R. G. railroad through this section is
having the much wished for effect of at
tracing capitalists and promoters of
mining enterprises to this district.
The Lucas mill is running again, full
blast. The new crusher and other in
provements are in place and everything
working nicely.
Mr.. M. Harold bought the boiler, cas-
ings, tools, etc, the property of the
Golden Hydraulic & Irrigation company,
as advertised, which were sold by the sher-
if under execution last Saturday, Mr..
Harold paying the sum of $3.50 therefor.
He will probably organize placer COM
pany on HIS own hook.

How An Alleged Insane Criminal En-

from Prison.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aug. 17.-William
E. Hopkins, of Low Point, an ex-attend-
ant at the Mattewan state asylum for in
sane criminals, was locked up to-day on
the charge of intoyication, but IN reality
he is accused Of aiding the train robber,
Oliver Curtis Perry, and four fellow con-
victs to escape from the asylum last
April. Hopkins received a package of
valuable diamonds and jewelry, last Oc-
tober, from Mrs. Haswell, of Troy, who
visited Perry several times, in considera-
tion for which he agreed to help the train
robber escape. Hopkins got blank keys,
which he gave to Convict Mcclure, who
fashioned duplicates, and thus unlocked
the cells of Perry and HE pals.

PETER DECLARES HE IS STILL FOR SILVER.
Mnneapolis.-A state official, who
wrote Senator PETER, of Kansas, asking
him whether the news that he had gone
back on free silver was true, received a
reply this morning dFaouhsing the Spar
tisan newspaper press" and asserting
EN- phatically that the silver craze was
not dying out, but fast widening its
fields. 1t was like a volcano, which
could not be suppressed by covering the
crater. The belief in the east that it was
dying out, he added, was due to the fact
that it had now passed the pyrotechnio
stage of noises and demonstration.

London, Aug. 1.-THE financial article
in the STANDARD says: "The gold syndi-

will not prevent gold exports from
America, and the autumn exports of pro-

so heavy as to allow the syndicate to

time to turn the gold current inward.
Therefore the American railroad market

Senator Morgan's Interview Still Subject of Comment Will Get the State
 Portfoio-Personal.

Washington, May 3O-(Special) Sen ator Morgan's interview in Mondays Post, in which he criticised the adminis- traton on the financial question, has been the subject of the usual comment here, especially by Alabamians, with some agreeing and others differing with the senator.
 His position is well known, hence his sarcastic roasting of MT. Carlisle does not surprise any one who keeps in touch with the drift of affairs. A prominent Alabama politician said this evening 'I am opposed to the unrestricted free coinage of silver. I have no favors to ask hence I can say what please"
 Various speculations are in the air as to the late Secretary Gresham's sue cessor Some seem to think Mir Car lisle will be asked to take the state portfolio, MT. Wilson the treasury and a western man selected for the postofiice department. However at this writing nothing definite can be gleaned so as to give any information as to who will be asked to go to the head of our state affairs.
 Rev w. D. Hubbard, pastor of the Baptist church of Evergreen, Ala, who has been visiting in New York, left yes- terday afternoon for home.
 O. w. Collins of Demopolis and J. H. Bankhead of Alabama are registered at the National. F. H.. Love, Esq, of Selma is registered at the Metropolitan
 Hon. Joe E. Washington of Nashville, Tenn. is registered at the Ebbitt house.
