A MERITED TRIBUTE.
Colorado Catholics Slander of the
Native People Of New Mexico Re
bnked-Archbishop Chapelle's
Expression on the Subject.

Commenting editorially on the recent
interesting and notable church events in
this city, the Colorado Catholic, regard
less of truth and decency and in anything
but the sweet and charitable spirit that
imbued the blessed Savior of mankind,
took occasion to speak in slurring and
slanderous terms of the native people of
New Mexico, nine-tenths Of whom are
devoted Catholics. representative of
the NEW MEXICAN called upon Archbishop
Chapelle at his residence this forenoon
for the purpose of soliciting an express
eion from his grace On the sub ject. The
archbishop frankly said:
II think that this expression of opinion
on the part Of the editor of the Colorado
Catholic is most unfortunate. He is Ger.
tainly Ignorant Of the good qualities of
our Mexican population. They are strong
race, since for three centuries they have
held their own in this vast territory
against many adverse circumstances.
"Thelr intelligence can not be ques-
TONED; and, as proof, it may be sufli.
oient to mention the purity with which,
after 80 long separation from the moth
or country, they still speak the beautiful
Spanish language. They have preserved
intact the faith of their fathers and they
appreciate our American institutions and
We have no more loyal citizens than they.
"The archbishop Of Santa Fe holds
them in great affection. He is most hap
py to devote himself to the procuring of
their welfare and he feels confident that,
with the help of his devoted clergy, splen-
did results will be obtained, both as to
the religious and social life of the Mex
lean people,"

The comptroller of the currency gives

Lon h from
Shs .-~vn, announc-
/ li ,parture Of fleet of nineteen
10 war ships from Vladivostock for
demulpo and Fusen, Corea, and the dis
patch from Hong Kong, announcing that
Russia had obtained the right to anchor
her feet at Port Arthur and construct
railroads on the Laid Tuag peninsula,
both of which we're caolsd exclusively to
the Associated Press, are looked upon as
being sudden reopening, in an unex-
pected quarter, of the far eastern ques-
tion in the widest sense.
The Shanghai dispatch added that the
Japanese fleet in Formosan waters had
been recalled, that several British war
ships had been ordered to Corea and that
preparations for struggle were visible
on all sides.
The Hong Kong cabinet message to
the Times caused that paper to remark
editorially to-day:
"Russia can not possibly imagine that
the great powers will view with indiffer-
ence such destruction of the balance of
power, almost unparalleled in audacity.
"China's option to purchase railways is
jest almost too cynical to find place
in any serious diplomatic transaction.
Under the indicated conditions, Man
churia would practically become Rus
sian province, while Pekin would be
within Russia's grip"
1t is admitted here that the situation
presented is 80 grave that, should the
news prove true, it would make war, in
which several nations would take part,
more than probable.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

Mr.. F. Muller, of the firm of Muller &
Walker, boasts an apple tree that is now
in full blossom.
Ice formed last night and yet vegeta-
tion he's scarcely felt the cold. Valentine
Herbert yet even has tomato vines in
blossom. Great fruit country surely.
In private conversation with citizen
to-day Senator Elkins expressed the be-
lief that congress would this winter pass
the bill providing for the establishment
of large military post at Santa Fe.
Nurseries in st. Louis and Flushing, l..
l., have secured the contract for supply
ing choice varities of fruit and shade
trees for the National military cemetery.
They will be shipped during the next ten
days.
The New MEXICAN has just finished
sending out statements to its patrons
notifying them of the amount due on
subscription. There are a great many in
arrears and as it takes money to run a
newspaper we must insist upon each sub
scriber making an effort to pay at
least portion if not all of his account.
Patrons will attend to this and greatly
oblige.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins and party
arrived in their special car last night
from Cerrillos and have spent the day
here very pleasantly. In the party are
Col. T. B. Davis, interested with Mr..
Elkins in West Virginia coal and railroad
enterprises; Mr.. Edward E. Bruner, a Wall
street capitalist; Prof. @. H. Livingston
tutor to Mr.. Elkins' children; the sen.
ator's bright and manly sons, Stephen B.,
IT., and Davis, and Mr.. Frank Elkins, of
Kansas City, nephew of the senator. His
brother, Mr.. Sam Elkins, and Mr.. G. w.
North accompanied them from Cerrillos.
Since Monday the gentlemen have made
thorough inspection Of the Ortiz grant,
in company with Colorado mining ex-
pert. It is likely that extensive opera
tions in gold mining will result from their
visit. The party dined at St. Vincent
sanitarium to-day and leave tonight for
the east, going via Chicago.

The PugiIists,

Fl Paso, Oct. 25.-SevAral kilograms
relating to pulling off fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons we're receiyed
in FL Paso yesterday but none Of them
furnished any definite information on the
subject. Dan Stuart has published an
open letter to the public, in which he
gives Fit2simmons genteel dressing
down. 1t is now understood, however,
that Fitz has come to the scratch and
agrees to sign new articles for fight
with Corbett later on. 1t is not intimated
where the men will be brought together,
but sports all over the country, who uu-
derstand the situation, say that Ell Paso
is the only place where the fight can be
successfully landed. Juarez is almost as
convenient for those who intended to Jour
ney to Dallas, as Dallas itself, and as the
Juarez bull ring can easily seat 1000
people, the club would be saved the ex-
pense of building an arena.

Push 1t Along.

In local base ball circles there is a
scheme being discussed which will bring
the national game more prominently be-
fore the people of this territory than ever
before. Letters will be written to Las
Vegas, Ration, Albuquerque, Gallup and
Cerrillos asking the base ball players to
organize and join territorial associa-
tion to play Saturday and Sunday ball;
and, also, asking them to have repre-
sentative elected to meet in selected
city ana adopt rules and regulations to
govern the association. One of the rules
which should, and probably will, be
adopted is that none but resident players
be allowed to participate in champion
ship games. It's good scheme and
should be pushed along.

THE ADVANCE IN SILVER.
Figures Showing the sharp Demand
for the White Metal Abroad.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Post says
rather sharp advance in silver bullion,
coming apparently from London, was an
interesting development in the market.
Readers of the British foreign trade re-
turus will notice that in September there
was slight excess of silver exports
against $S,397,O00 of an import excess
during August, and yet in the first two
weeks Of October the excess of imports
was again 91,850,0OO. This is a curious
situation, and is undoubtedly connected,
as has already been suggested, with tho
Japanese indemnity operations.
