Cited to Appear.

Seattle, Oct. 5.-As G.. w. Bum,
attorney for Cakes, Payne and Rouse,
the deposed Northern Pacific receivers,
WAS about to step on his train, eastward
bound, he was confronted by deputy
United States marshal, who surprised
han with a citation directed to the re-
ceivers. 1t cites them to appear in
court here at 10 A. M, October 81, to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt in having dis
obeyed the order to appear before Judge
Hanford yesterday and give an account
of their stewardship. The impression
prevalent is that the Jenkins receivers
have allowed themselves to be placed
IN serious predicament. Jugde Han
sons, and there would be little surprise
if he should severely lecture the re-
ceivers and then imprison them.
The effect of the appointment of An
drew Burleigh to be receiver of the
Northern Pacific will probably have
direct bearing on the railroad situation
in this city. AS general counsel for
the Oregon improvement Company,
Burleigh has become thoroughly famil-
lar with the old RAMS horn entangle-
ment ON Railroad avenue, and his
guiding hand will doubtless contribute
greatly to a settlement of the diff
Guilty. The four roads centering here
are now comforting and an agreement
is momentarily expected whereby the
avenue will be widened to 2O2 feet and
the tracks shifted under new franchises
granted by the city council. Burleigh's
successor as general counsel for the
Oregon Improvement Company will
not be named until word has been re-
ceiyed from President Elijah Smith,
now i'll New York.
Receiver Andrew +. Burleigh, of the
Northern Pacific, returned to this city
at 4:30 this afternoon by special train
from Portland. He was fatigued and
spoke but briefly. 1t is understood
that the offices of the company will re-
main at Tacoma, but that Mr.. Bur-
leigh will continue to live in this city.
He received a dispatch saying that
his application to be made to Judge
Beatty, of the Idaho district, would
not be opposed, and it is probable that
his receivership will be extended by
Monday to the Montana line. Mr..
Burleigh found an enormous stack OF
kilograms awaiting him. He said:
Il have not yet made any further
appointments, and will defer any step
IN that direction for the time being.

La semana pasada el albuquerque

mente al Juez Superior Smith y tacha-
ba la imparcialdad y honestidad de la
corte suprema del Territorio. Como
era de esperar, este articulo cause una
profunda sensation en- todo el Nuevo
Mexico, todos los periodicos del pals
10 comentaron y discutieron, opinando
de un modo otro segun las preleren-
ciaS opiniones de Cada uno Entire
| las personas moderadas cause asombro
la temeridad { imprudencia de los edi-
torres del "Citizen,' quienes cOnocien-
do la sevendad implacable con que en-
esta epoCa Sc tratan d los opositores
politicos de la administration y sus
oiciales, tuvieron todavia el atrevl-
miento de publican en- su peri6dlco un
articulo donde eXpresan sus sentimien-
tos con demasiada franqueza y atacan
con violencia desmedida al magistrate
principal de un tribunal que posee po
der absolute en- este Territorio. 81 los
dichos editores hubiesen pensado an
teS de obrar, hubieran conocido que al
escribir y publican articulo semejante
Sc exponian a consecuencias muy gra-
YES de parte de los agraviados que tie
nen sobrado poder { inclinaci6n para
usarlo, les podrian hacer pagar caro-
sus diatribas. NADIA de este tomaron
en- cuenta los del Citizen" sino que
dando rienda suelta d su indignation
vomitaron censuras y hasta insultos
contra I'm Official de tan alta categoria
como ell juez Smith, que tiene Ia fama
de ser muy POGO tolerante y sufrido en-
materlas que lastiman su orgullo y
amor propio, mayormente cuando ta-
les ataques dlmanan de personals de
contraria opinion a la suya. Por otra
parte, el articuIo del "Citizen" es de-
masiado yiolento y exagerado en- sus
denuncias y dice cosas que no pueden
probar sus autores aun cuando elloS
las creyesen ciertas. Sin duda pensa-
ron que estabamos en- los uempos GUAM
do los peri6dicos teniaa la liberiad
para decir cuanto sc les antojara con-
ira los hombres y ofciales de un par
lido politico opuesto al suyo, y seme-
iante error no hace mucho honor a su
perspicacia y discernimiento, pues has
ia un miope 8 bizco puede echar dc
yer que la fecha es muy peligroso po-
nerse al alcance de Ia ley y de los tri-
bunales, dando OCCASION d que ejerzan
su poder aquellos que por ley tienen
facultades dc hacero. rs 81 colmo dc
la imprudencia que un periddista que
pertenece al partido dc Ia minoria que
no tiene la administration en- sus ma.
nos, meterse en- camisa de once varas,
censurando con razon 8 sin ella a off
ciales que pueden hacerle pagar caro-
su temeridad. Asi han obrado los edi-
torres del "Citizen" metiendo, como
quien dice, su cabeza en- la boca del
lobo, el cual probablemente no soltara
su presa hasta haber dado un fuerte
escarmiento a los que Sc han arevido
d embestirle.
