SlLVER'S ADVANCE.
Further Efforts on the Part of the
GOldttes to Explain 1t Away.

New York, Mch. 16.-A new menace to
the financial system of the United States
has suddenly come into being. The price
of silver has advanced IA cents an
ounce, following similar advance in
London, due to the beginning Of hoard
ing here and abroad in anticipation of
immense financial transactions when
China begins to pay the war indemnity
demanded by Japan of $25O,0O00O0 or
$3OO,0OO,00O. Whether China will have to
pay in silver or in gold, or whatever
coin, the effect upon the United States
will be immediate. If gold is demanded
it is feared that the rate of exchange on
London will suddenly shoot up and the
treasury will be subject to new and
greater drain than any in its history-a
drain that Morgan and Belmont will be
powerless to stop.
1t is announced that Mr.. Charles s.
Drummond, the Investment agent of
Baron Erlangsr's banking house in Ger
many, has been asked to go to the east
for his principal.
Long-headed financiers in Wall street
said there are possibilities of some very
important results when this big war debt
to Japan comes to be paid. Japan may
propose to sit in the Chinese custom
houses, and, by import and export duties.
help herself. England will at once object
and proffer to accept Chinese bond and
advance the cash. If it is to be silver in
payment squeeze throughout China may
produce it, or revival of silver mining
may supply it, but demand for gold by
japan will direct attention instantly to
the one source of open gold supply in
the known world-the United States
treasury.

La Fiesta de Los Angeles.

On April 18th to goth inclusive a car
nival entitled LA fiesta de Los Angeles"
will be held at Los Angeles, Calf.
1t is under the management of the
Merchants Association, an influential
organization of business men who have
large resources and it is expected that
the carnival will excel the Mardi Gras or
any similar fete ever attempted in Ameri
ca.
The fiesta of 1894 was pronounced
success from every standpoint and the
plans for the 1895 event promises the
most unique fete OF modern times. As
you doubtless understand, there are
peculiar conditions which make a celebra-
tion of this character more enjoyable
there than elsewhere, among which may
be mentioned the mild climate, all abund-
apce of fruits and flowers, aud the his
toric and romantic associations of Cali
fornia, from which latter are drawn ma
terials for many artistic and unique feat
ures of "La fiesta de Los Angeles" The
Spanish and Chinese population part
icipate in the parades and there are many
other features of An instructive and re-
fning nature. Low rates of fare in effect
via Santa Fe route. For particulars call

THE PRESIDENTSBA BABIES
Judge Walkers Little Niece Writes
Of Her Visit to the White
House.

A late issue of the Bonneville, No.
Democrat prints letter to it's editor
from little Miss Alice Ewing Walker, G
niece of Hon. ). H. Walker, register oi
the Santa Fe land Office, that will be read
with special pleasure by the ladies and
children. 1t is dated Washington, Feb.
ruary 25, and says:
"My cousin, Miss Cockrell took mamma
and me to call on Mrs. Cleveland, by ap-
pointment, On Monday. She received
her friends in the red room.
II called on her when l was six years
old, but remembered her perfectly. She
seemed to me thea very beautiful; now,
if possible. she is lovelier, is somewhat
stouter. 1 think her altogether the love
liest woman have ever seen.
"On leaving, she invited US to call and
see the children. We felt ompimented,
as the president and Mrs. Cleveland have
positively declined to permit their chill
dren to be on exhibition. For this reason
disappointed and curious people, regard
less of the truth, have circulated all man
ner of stories about these lovely children,
Ruth and Esther.

taken up to the nursery where they were
having little tea party, in honor of SEQ
retary Carlisles grand children. When
we entered they we're seated around

was presiding, and looked very cunning.
in large chair at the head of the table.
81 consider her beautiful child, some
what on the brunette type, very much
like her mother; she has short, nut-brown
hair, beautiful, clear complexion, and
large eyes, SO dark that you can hardly
tell whether they are blue or brown, but
think they are very dark blue. She has
very bright, pleasing manner.
while we were there, the president en-
tered, spoke to US, and then to the babies;
he asked Ruth how she was making it,
she turned her head in very saucy man
ner, and said, 'all right evidently stand
ing in no awe of her distinguished father.
ESTHER is seventeen months old,
perfect blonde, with large blue eyes, a
brilliant complexion, and soft, yellow
hair, covering her we'll shaped head.
"They were dressed very simply but
sweetly, in white dimity, Ruth with pink
ribbons tied about her sleeves.
"a necklace, and bracelets of gold
beads, were the young lady's ornaments.

little girls as two of the prettiest, bright

lures but did not like to ask for them,

many requests of that nature.
"We walked through the rooms, looking
at the portraits of the former ladies of
the White house, hanging on Its walls, but
there was not one that could compare
with its present mistress.
"The W. @. T. U. women had Mrs. Hays
portrait painted. The Daughters of the
American Revolution, Mrs. Harrison's. I
wish our Democratic women would have
Mrs. Clevelands painted and hang it by
the side of Martha Washington's."

End OF a Lovely Life.

Miss Hattie Wheelock, whose death at
the residence of her uncle, DIR. Andrews,
was recorded in these columns yesterday,
had endeared herself to a large circle of
friends during her protracted sojourn in
Santa Fe as health seeker. She was a
most intelligent and lovely young lady,
about 20 years old, and it is hard to un-
derstand why she should have been thus
smitten down in the flower of her bright
and blushing youth. During her first
visit to Santa Fe she was apparently re-
stored to health and returned to her east
ern home. Then she suffered relapse
and came back to this city about seven
months ago. But this time it was too
late. Her malady was consumption. Fu-
neral services were h.ld over the remains
this afternoon. The body has been en-
balmed and will be taken back to Hughes
vile, Pa, by the heart-broken mother to-
night.

The Warm8n Lectures,

Prof. Warman spoke last night, in the
Presby terian church, to the largest audi
ence he has had in Santa Fe. 1t was
known before his course of lectures be-
gan here that this city would give no ap-
propriate encouragement or reward to
such entertainments. Those who re-
quested the professor to deliver while he
was visiting Santa Fe for other purposes,
several of his most valuable lectures,
neither risked anything themselves nor
allowed him to risk anything in the
venture. There is small society of
really intelligent people in our town.
Some of these governed by conscientious
scruples, refrained from indulglng them
selves, in Lent, in enjoyment which at
other times they surely would not have
missed. Others had not the money to
spare for intellectual treats. number
of keenly appreciative hearers assembled
every night on which Mr.. Warman spoke.
These will never forget the pleasure de-
rived from witnessing the wonderful re-
suits of careful and continual training of
the vocal organs, and of the whole
physical man; nor will they fail to recog-
nize the fundamental soundness of the
Delsarte philosophy of expression, or to
remember, with advantage, the admirable
exposition of this which Prof. Warman
has given. 1t may be mentioned here
that he who in his own person is the
finest approximation to physical perfec-
tion who has ever appeared upon the
platform in this country thoroughly dis
approves of the use of any Intoxicating
beverage, and condemns the use of to-
bacco In any form or degree, and be-
lieves that measure of moral taint must
result from habits which invariably and
inevitably work more or less physical

DISCONTINUED MILITIA.
Troops at New Orleans Tired OF
Doing Police DUTY.

New Orleans, Mch. 16.--The militia are
going through the real hardships Of
police duty. The morning opened with
drizzling rain accom- panied by north
erf wind, which grew colder as the day
progressed. There is a growing feeling
of discomfort among the troops. They
are beginning to tire of doing ordinary
police duty. While merchants are sub
scribing literally totht l@nd to support
the troops they state that it is i'm possible
for them to get along without their
clerks. This discomfort has given rise to
talk about bringing country troops here.
Governor Foster to-day communicated
with the agents of the stevedores aud
delegations from the various bodies in
the hope of drawing up an agreement
satisfactory to all.

I have full faith that the Republican

Much Damage Done to ApricOts and

age done in this vicinity by last nights
unusually heavy frost will not fall much
short of $225,OOO. The apricot crop has
been almost totally destroyed, probably
not fifty tons remaining. Early berries
that would have been on the market in
two weeks are all gone. The late vari-
eties are thought to be all right, as they
are only just blossoming. The almond
crop, which was advanced about the same
as apricote, is ruined,
1t 10 impossible to determine at the
present time just what damage has been
done to peaches, as they are just going
out of bloom and do not show as plainly.
This is also true of plume and prunes.
The weather is quite cool again to-day
and there is a prospect Of another frost.
