 THE FL PASO SITUATION Dan Stuart Is Calmly Confident. Special Trains Announced. for 10 O'Clock. It Is Believed Dash Is to Be Made for Mexican
 Soil.

FL FASO, Feb. 13.-A conference was held in Juarez today at which there were present Governor Ahumada of Chihuahua, Mayor Arriola of Juarez, Col. Tavarez, Collector Bouche, Dep uty United States Marshal Ware of Texas, Deputy Marshal Hall of New Mexico, Governor Culberson of Texas, United States Attorney CuHberson and Adtutant-General Mallory of Texas. It was agreed that the two forces should cooperate in preventing the fight. The governor of Chihuahua de- | clared that while the United States officials were welcome to cross the line into his ibailiwick, his forces would stop at the line to prevent complica- tions. The line to be established by Engineer Mailfert, between Mexico and New Mexico, will foe recognized by both Americans and Mexicans prevent ing the fight.
 1 The governor is still bringing troops into Juarez and by tomorrow night will be in strength to begin war if neces- sary. He now has 300 men, 200 being Rurales. and by tomorrow night he will have 200 more
 He declared today that under no cir cumstances would he allow the fight to take place in Mexico He said: q will prevent it by force if necessary. but hope it will not come to that, but if it does. I shall .use force.'
 The chances of the fight coming off are good, however. Despite the decIa- rations of the governor of Chihuahua and of the American officials, Stuart calmly insists that it will be brought off according to schedule and there is no doubt that he is making every ef- fort and will continue Up to the last moment to do his utmost to bring it off.
 Fitzsimmons is in the best of con- dition and is capable Of making the fight of his life. He weighed today 163 pounds.
 Maher has completed his training and is in excellent shape.
 In case the fight is not pulled eff here the National Sporting club of London offers purse of e1 ,5OO for a fight between FitzsinmoDs and Maher.
 The many sports here are becoming so anxious about seeing the big fight that they have declared their intention of watching the depot all night tonight to avoid being left
 General Mabry's rangers are watch ing every train with the intention of boarding it if they discover any inten- tion of pulling off the fight Texas. Stuart has repeatedly assured the ad- jutant-general that he has no inten- tions of having the fight in Texas
 It is practically certain now that the fight will be on Mexican soil some where. It will be a dash across the border and run for home after the fight is over. Maher's eyes are bothering him and it is rumored that the fight will be postponed several days.
 Jim Hall and Buck Connolly, sec onds for Peter Maher, arrived from Las Cruces at noon today. Maher dropped off three miles outside of the city and will come in tonight.
 Dan Stuart has completed arrange ments for a special train. The start for the battle ground will be made at 10 o'alool, tomnrroW

The story is told in Joubert's Pop

published at Bordeaux, France, in
1879, that one Gonelle, jester at
the court of the Duke of Ferrara, in
sisted once upon time that the
trade which had the most follow ers
was that of doctor. To prove his
assertion he left his home ono morn.

nightcap on and his jaws wrapped

him with the question, "What is the
matter with you, Gonelle?' IA
terrible toothache. "Oh, is that
all? III tell you what will cure it. ="
And every person lie met had some
advice to give him.
When tho jester reached the dukes
chamber. tho same question and an
swer were repeated. "Ah." said the
prince, 81 know of something that
will take the pain right away"
Gonelle intantly threw up his ker-

passed through one street in coming

A Methodist Dog.

Mr.. D., whom l knew we'll, had
two dogs, Tom and jack. The latter
was churcllgoing dog. He was of
tho long bodied, short logged species,
with n head like an alligator and
eros sod out of class When provoked,
ho was hard fighter. But on Sun
days he seldom failed to pay his re-
spects to the preacher, starting off
at the tap of tho bell as earnestly as
if desiring to repent for the short.
oomings Of the past week.
Jack had q discriminating ear and
IA stron2 preference for the Methodist
church. If lying down when the
church bells began to ring, lie would
rise up and listen; if the Baptist bell
rang FIRST, ha would lie down and
wait, but when the Methodist call
rang out he trottel off sedately, with
the punotuality of an "amen corner"
neutrality-suspicious. Field.

Edward Green of BE lows Falls
was in his wood lot one day recent
~, and while walking along II path,
Trough brush and leaves, his foot
struck something hard. Brushing
away the leaves, he was surprised to
find II large bear trap set IN the mid
die of the path. Had he made one
more step he would have walked into
it. Taking Il stick of wood from Il
wood pile, he sprung the trap, which
came together with such force that u
nearly cut the stick in two. He says
that if he had stepped to it, his leg
would have been taken completely
off.

The Republican victories in Yer
mont and Maine are not Republican
victories as that term would have
been understood few years ago.
They do not at all Indicate popular
adherence to the principles on which
the Republican party was founded
or for which it long fought. Not
one of those principles is up for Sc
rious consideration today, and most
of them are row dead issues. Even
the tariff question-an incidental and
not an essential question in the par
TVS history-is not up for considers
ton. The recent victories are the
victories OF sound, as against I'M
sound, finance. TO draw promise
of fresh privilege-giving tariff legis-
lation from Mckinley victories in
this campaign is very much to mis-
read the times.
The indianapolis platform adopt
ed by the sound-currency Democrats
is everywhere accepted asa most adj
mirable statement Of the principles
of old-llne democracy; and these are
the principles OH which our govern
ment is founded; and only through
through the maintenance of these
principles can the continuance of
our government be assured. Here
are some of them:
Equal and exact justice to all men
Of every creed and condition.
The largest freedom of the ind,-
vidual consistent with good govern
ment.
The preservation of the federal
government in its constitutional vi.
gor.
The support of the States in all
their just rights.
Economy IN the public expendi-
lures.
The maintenance of the public
faith and sound money.
No paternalism or class lcgisla-
ton.
No taxation for private gain.

Protcctionism is the ism which
claims, among other things, that
that wages can be raised by statute,
that law can fix II mans earnings
and relieve him of the competition
Of the foreign panper workman.
Bus now Mr.. Mckinley declares
that "we can't fix by law the wages
of labor" Verify, this is cam
paign Of education; and the cduca-
ton extends to others than Brvanitcs
and goes outside the field of finance.
Normal schools do not do all that
their advocates claim Tor them, but
they have been more effective in
raising the grade OF educational
work IN the United States than any
other one factor. The State Nor
nal School commissions recon-
,ncndation that they I've abolished is
most untimely and ill-advised. Is
it simply Il bid for popularity Do
they think that Vermont can afford
ut this day to lower its educational
standard:
The Mark Hanna campaign fund
is the worst element in the present
campaign, in the opinion of the
famous correspondent. James Creel-
man. He says that there is plenty
of evidence to show that this is be-
coming the most corrupting polit,-
cal struggle ever known to the
American people. "A sound cur
,cncy victory is most essential; but
it will be dearly bought if its price is
the lowering of the standar,l-not
now any too high-of civic manli-
ness.
The pilgrimage of one hundred
Vermont Republicans to the Nc
-kinlcy shrine at Canton few days
ago is fully explained by the Buring-
ton Clipper. The delegation was
composed of men who have risen to
the very highest offices in the gift of
their own State" One hundred of
Vermont's public servants can spare
time from their official duties to
make a jubilee trip to the future
giver of offices. Now if some other
candid sheet will tell us who fur
nished passes and who paid expenses
the whole affair will he plain.
Maine follows Vermont with an
avalanche or votes for the gold STAN
dard. Maine has been battle :
ground for the opposing forces for
the past few weeks. but there seems
to be absolutely nothing to show tor
the worry and work of the politi-
Clans stumping Maine for the Chi
cago ticket. 1t is clean sweep,
and sound money wins by the big
gest majority with which the Pine
Tree state ever favored any party or
cause. 1t was Il campaign of educa-
ton, the ground was worked over as
it never was before, and the result is
magnificent.
