a BLOODY DEFEAT.
Ten Thousand Italians Killed in a Battle
With AbyssiniaDs.

With AbyssiniaDs.
Italy is in a frenzy of mingled rage
and humiliation, caused by the dreadful
defeat of her army in battle with the
Abyssinians. In the agreement of the
leading nations of Europe for the divis-
ion of Africa amongst themselves, Abys
sinia fell to the lot of Italy. An Italian
army was sent down to receive the sub
mission of the barbarians and their king
Though that was many monts ago, the
army of invasion hasn't gotten that for
which it went Many battles, with
slight and varying successes, have been
fought. Wearying over the long delay,
and DESTROYS of anticipating the demand
for his recall, General Baratieri, the Ital
ian commander, put his army in motion
to strike sudden and fatal blow to the
enemy. He struck the blow, but it was
a fatal one to his army, which was almost
annihilated by King Menelik and his
warriors. The latest accounts put the
Italians killed at near ten thousand, wi lie
tn usands more are unaccounted for,
with the loss of all their artillery 1t
was one of the most destructive defeats
of modern times.
In olden times the Abyssinians were
great warriors, and they do not seem to
have lost the courage and the fierceness
of those days. The Italians would do
well to hunt an easier job.

PRESS COMMENT.
Five Weeks Calnpaixn.

The Republican territorial convention
to nominate candidate for delegate to
congress will be held at Las Vegas on the
2sth of this month and tho Democratic
convention will be held at Santa Fs on
the Goth. THIS will give hve weeks for
the campaign which will be ample time.
The voters of the territory have their
minds made up as to whether they are
going to vote the Democratic or Repub-
lican tickets aud comparatively few OF
them will be changed from the positions
which they have taken. More than 80
per cent of the voters in the entire ter
ritory are in favor of the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver, but it is not TO
be expected that 80 per cent of the
voters are going to vote for the DEM
ocratic candidate for the reason that
some Republicans, like the editor of the
Enterprise, cling to the hope that the Re-
publican party will, eventually, in some
way or other come to the rescue of sill
YER. These faithful followers of the Re.
publican banner are going to vote the
Republican ticket this fall and they will
continue to vote the Republican ticket
a. long 40 there is Republican party,
no matter what it advocates. To be sure
there are not very many OF them in the
territory, but they swell the vote Of the
Republican candidate considerably and
may possibly cut down the majority

JOHN BULL CAUTIONED.

The St. James Gazette wisely cautions
the people of England to abstain from
manifesting too much interest in the
pending presidential campaign in the
United States, particularly urging them
not to let their preference for Mckinley |
on account of his gold standard platform
and professions to take the form Of active
and obvious partisanship, as such action
would simply tend to strengthen Bryan's
chances of election. And, while evidently
hoping and praying that Mckinley and
Hobart will be successful, it follows it's
own advice to the extent of attempting
to disguise its real wishes by suggesting
that McKinley's peculiar tariff notions
are not popular in England. The Ga
zettes' advice is interesting, as evidence
that the English press is not entirely des-
titute of the capacity to comprehend po-
litical conditions in this country, but
comes too late to prevent mischief to the
goldite cause this year. The capitalists
of Lombard street have already mani
tested quite as lively and partisan inter-
est in the cause of Mckinley as have their
fellows in Wall street and the American
people are perfectly familiar with the
fact. The people Of this country cherish no
animosity toward the people of England,
but they keenly realize that the interests
or the two nations are not the same and
are not disposed rapturously to embrace
financial policy that commands the ap-
proval and support of Lombard street.
The American people mean to elect the
peerless cham pion of American bimetal-
lism president anyway, but the London
paper is not mistaken in surprising that
his majority will not be decreased by
John Bulls opposition.

Democratic Call.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 3, 1s96.-Where.
as, at meeting of the Democratic terri
torial central committee, held in Las We
gas, on June Is, 1896, the city of Santa Fe
was selected as the place for the meeting
of a Democratic territorial convention
for the nomination of Democratic can
didate for delegate from New Mexico to
the 55th congress of the United States;
and
Whereas, The date of the holding OF
said convention was left to be fixed by the
chairman and secretary of this committee
at such convenient time as would IN their
Judgment best serve the interests OF the
party; and
Whereas, Said proposed convention was
authorized to be constituted, as to repre-
sentation from the various counties of the
territory, on the basis of one delegate for
each 100 votes cast for Antonio Joseph in
each of said counties at the last general
election and one additional delegate for
each fraction of LOO votes 80 cast amount
ing to fifty or more,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity in US so vested, a convention Of the
Democratic party of New Mexico is here
by proclaimed to be held in the city OF
Santa Fe, at the hour Of l o'clock p M,
on the Goth day of September, A. D. 1896,
for the purpose of nominating Demo.

The farmers of Eddy, Roswell, and that
region of the Pecos valley agree that
hogs can be fattened on alfalfa in the
valleys of New Mexico at cost of 35
cents per hundred weight. This has
been demonstrated by experience in the
lower Pecos valley, and we have no doubt
that it can be done also in the valley of
the Rio Grande, along the Mora and Yer
milo IN Colfax and In the Santa Fe,
Espanola aud Taos valleys. Such being
the fact, we see no reason why new and
highly profitable industry can not be
opened to New Mexico. This economy
in producing pork can not be equaled by
any other region in the world.

The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at its said meeting, all Dem
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in it's Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro.
posed territorial convention, If 80 it be
that they are chosen as represen tatives
at county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and oil
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri.
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, il il
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
attended and memorable gathering Of
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizsns of this territory, within the pur.
view Of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
Co constitute said convention and in the
important work of the same.

THE COLDiTES IN THE LEAD.

There will be ninety-three delegates in
the New Mexico Republican convention
which assemblies at Las Vegas to-mor-
row. They will probably stand thus:
For gold, fifty; for silver, forty-three.
The gold, or straight McHanna crowd,
will thus have clear working majority
of seven, at least, but they will spoil their
chances for pie, no doubt, by trying to
make concessions to the silver men, and
in the end it is no dead sure thing but
that the tail will wag the dog. Oh, there's
fun ahead in that convention.
