People have been at loss to under
stand why the New MExIcAN's whistle has

the crown sheet in our steam boiler sud-
denly cracked in several places the other
night, and new boiler is to replace it
until repairs can be made. There ia no
accounting for the cracks on any other
theory than that they were caused by
Hilario Ortiz speech criticising the New
MEXICAN. 1t is supposed the vocifera-
t,ons of this mighty orator got in under
the boiler somehow or other and simply
paralyzed it. However, the New MExI-

NOW TALKS COMPROMISE.
Fresh Advices from Washington He
speeding the Brice and CDler
Bonds.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the st.. Louis Republic, dated the Goth
instant, says:
'sThe house committee on territories
has been engaged hearing the case in re-
gard to proposed congressional action
upon bonds Of the counties of Santa Fe
and Grant, in New Mexico. The late
Democratic legislature passed law pro-
viding for the issue of territorial bonds,
with which to rebuild the capitol, burned
some four years ago; and bonds for the
establishment of military institute; for
an insane asylum; for normal school of
New Mexico, and college of agriculture.
A bill passed the house approving this
territorial act, and it now comes back
from the senate amended to validate the
issue of $172,5O0 bonds of the county of
Santa Fe, originally voted in aid of rail
road. This amendment was promoted by
Senators Brice and Wolsott. Now, Mr..
Coler, a banker OF New York, proposes
an amendment validating T250,000 of
Santa Fe county bonds originally voted
in aid of railroad; and 100000 in bonds
Of Grant county, voted for like pur-
pose; and $4,000 in bonds OF the city OF
Silver City, N. NJ. This has stirred up
an interesting controversy. The United
States supreme court has decided that
bonds issued by territorial authority in
aid of railroads are void, and hence the
owners of the bonds are in Washington
to urge the passage Of law validating
their bonds. Gov. Thornton ia here fight
ing these amendments. G. Fl. Glider
sleeve, of Santa Fe, is here to fight for
the county of Santa Fe and defeat the
amendments, he having been employed
several years ago by the county to defeat
the bonds. Mr.. Gildersleevo addressed
the committee this morning, giving his
tory of legislation affecting bond issues
by territories.
1.-THE owners of the bonds are now try
ing to arrange compromise measure, to
refund the outstanding bonds, on the
basis of longtime per cent bond"
