ONE HUNDRED DEAD.

French Steamer Dom Pedro Founders OF
the Coast of Ga1icia.
CADIz, May 29.-The French steamer
Dom Pedro, bound for Garlic, Spain,
was wrecked off Galicia. Eighty of
those on board were drowned. The
disaster was caused by the bursting Of
a boiler.
Later in the day some particulars
were received here of the terrible disas-
ter to the French steamship Dom Pedro,
which has resulted in the loss of about
100 lives. The Dom Pedro was 8, 900
ton steamer, and was engaged in run
Republic, calling at Bordeaux, France,
and carries freight and passengers. The
latter were mostly emigrants bound for
the Argentine Republic or other points
of South America. On her return trips
the Dom Pedro was generally loaded
with fruit and meat. She left Havre
on May 20, with crew of 40 all told,
and with 80 passengers. At Carrill the
steamer was to have embarked 200 adj
ditional passengers. But on her way
to that port she ran on rock at $40
p. M, off Cape Corrubedo, on the west
coast of Galicia, her boilers exploded
and the vessel foundered. 1t is now
stated that only the captain of the Dom
Pedro and 90 of the crew were saved,
which would seem to indicate that all
the passengers We're killed.
Later details of the wreck of the
French passenger steamer Dom Pedro
are being secured with difficulty. The
number who have persisted in the dis
aster is now ascertained to be 103, and
only 80 were saved. The survivors
have taken refuge in the little town of.
Villagarcia. The rocks of Cobos, near
Corrubddo, upon which the ill fated
vessel struck, is rough headland
which forms the northern limit of the
bay of Arosa.

PRESERVING THE FORESTS.

The prevalence of fires in Wiscon-
sin and Michigan forests last week in
which much valuable timber was de-
stroyed, opens up the question which
was so widely discussed last fall at the
time of the extensive fires in the
same states and in this state. Wis
consin last winter enacted most
stringent law relating to forest fires,
and the preservation of forests, but
at the time these fires broke out it
was not in full working order, so that
tested, but the general opinion is that
it would not have been successful in
preventing widespread damage. A
large portion of the damage is said to
have been the result of the careless
ness of the lumbermen themselves, in
that they did not take proper precau-
tion to prevent the danger of these
fires in their own choppings, and as a
result many of them have lost thou
sands of dollars.
Minnesota passed some laws upon
the same matter last winter, the en-
forcement of which it is hoped will
greatly lessen the danger from forest
fires. AS yet this state has not suffer-
ed from fires this season; but when
the conditions are right it is more than
probable that we will have the usual
fires, though through these laws much
may be finally done to lessen the dan.
ger and loss therefrom. If the ex-
periences of the past are properly
profted by it would seem that con-
siderable progress ought to be made
in the way of preserving our forests,
and even in extending their area.
Along this line the Minneapolis
Journal says:
Were the forests left to the axe
alone the end of the timber of this
country would be far removed. 1t is
not now as near as the denudatics
would have US believe. Still, lower
er Michigan is practically stripped OF
pine, and the end is coming in Wis.
consin. Minnesota has more timber
than either and will keep it's supply
for generation, and much longer
providing the fire can be kept out.
Forests are cropped in the old
world, and are made to yield regularly
and remunerative returns. Had we
not such vast timber supplies we
should long ago have been carrying
out the same methods of forest Gull
ture. We should begin on them be.
fore the task becomes almost insur.
perable. The bounties of nature have
limit no matter how prosperous she
has been.

WALTER Q. GRESHAM.

The death of Secretary Gresham
was profound surprise, though it
was known that he was quite a sick
man. No man in public life today
was better known than Walter @.
Gresham, nor so far as his personality
is concerned, more greatly admired.
He was possessed of sterling
character, and in all the fierce glow of
public life not one word was ever ut
tered against him personally. His
boyhood days were spent upon an
Illinois farm, and his education was
such as the common schools and a
seminary in his native town could
give-in addition he spent two years
in college, after which he studied
law, and was admitted to the bar at
the age of 81. By his own efforts he
pushed his way up to the eminent
position he has filed, and to warm
place in the hearts of his countrymen.
He made mistakes, as all men do, but
the American people are most
charitably inclined, and the broad
mantle of charity will cover those in
to which he was led to make. OF his
public service the Chicago Inter Ocean
says:
His public services were three-fold
soldier, jurist, and Cabinet officer.

was always personally popular. In the
army his popularity extended from
the privateS under his command to
the great commander himself. On
the bench he was absolutely impartial
in the administration OF justice, and
in the Cabinet he was the especial
cOntidant OF both Presidents with
whom he was associated. He may be
said to- have had talent for friend
ship, and that amounting almost to
genius. His acceptance Of the port.
folio OF State under Mr.. Cleveland ex-
posed him to great deal of criticism,
but it was noticeable that through it
all ran vein of good will toward the
man himself, especially on the part OF
those who had enjoyed his personal
friendship. None who really knew
him could feel other than that he be.

OF duty. He hoped and expected to be
Identified with an administration
which would inaugurate large reforms
and be successful IN meeting the ex-
pectations of the country. I'm
doubtedly the disappointments herein
had much to do with undermining his
health. 1t was more than personal
disappointment.
His life's training fitted him for a
judicial position rather than the one
which he filled at the time of his
death, and it has been the sincere re-
greet OF all his admirers that he was

THE supreme court of the United
States has refused the application of
Mr.. Debs for writ of habeas corpus
to relieve him from the sentence of
the United States district court, for
contempt. The result of this will be
to send him back to Jail again to serve
out the sentence given him by Judge
Woods. This decision settles the
question as to whether the federal
government has the right to interfere
for the protection of the mails and
interstate commerce when the same
are impeded or in any way INSTRUCTED
by mob violence, and secures to the
United States the right to enjoin
men from combining to so interfere
with the interstate commerce and

FOUND GUILTY.
John G. Hill and John Woods Convict
ed of Wholesale Cattle Stealing.

The case of John G. Hill and John W
Woods, both of Clayton, charged witt
stealing cattle in Coltax county, which
occupied the attention of the dis
trict court at Springer last week re-
suited in verdict of guilty as charged
The case dates back to June, 1892, when
the Northern New Mexico Cattle assoca-
tion caused the arrest of John G. Hill,
John Woods and the Miller brothers ON
the charge of the wholesale stealing of
cattle. This is the case in which DR.. s. I.
North was involved. Miller brothers
eventually turned states evidence, ad-
mitted that they had stolen the cattle and
charged Hill and Woods with co.operat-
ing with them to use North as a cats paw.
North had a car load of his own cattle in
the train that carried the 1856 head of
stolen cattle, and the trick consisted in
persuading North to permit the use of
his name as consignor and consignee of
all the cattle. North was acquitted of any
criminal intent.
The verdict against Hill and Woods
created much excitement. During the
arguments and Judge Smiths charge to
the jury the court room was packed, a
large number of ladies being present and
many were unable to gain admlttance.

When to Cut Alfalfa,

The time to cut alfalfa is just at the
right time. This is when the plant has
stored up the greatest amount Of nutr,-
ment for which it is so justly celebrated.
By analysis made some time ago alfalfa
in bud WAS found to contain 18 10 per ce ut
Of albumen; in full bloom 1922 per cent;
bloom half turned, 1887 per cent; and
fully ripened seed 1857 per cent. From
this it will be seen that alfalfa reaches its
maximum value for feeding purposes
just as it is coming in bloom, and that
it's desirable qualities decrease as it
ripens. Water, fat and crude fibre in
crease as the plant ages. If alfalfa is cut
at this point of growth 1t will usually be
standing, will not clog the mower, will
cure and handle easier; besides, the
stems being the less woody, hay will be
eaten cleaner than at any other time.
