chial School Arrangement.

Winnipeg. Man., Oct 21.-It is learned
that a hitch has occurred in the con-
ference for the settlement of the paro-
chial schoo, question now in progress
at Ottawa. Premier Laurier and the
delegates from Manitoba had agreed
to allow a half-hour a day in each
school for the teaching of religion by
the Roman Catholics. the belief be-
ing that this concession would settle
the difficulty.
1t might have settled it as far as
the Roman Catholics We're concerned,
but when the Protestant leaders here
heard of it they raised a big row. Such
concession they declared to be a
violation of the national school prin-
ciples. So the Manitoba premier. Green
way, had to withdraw from this agree
ment. and now, as far as can be
learned, no other scheme can be de-
vised, and the settlement Is as far off
as ever.

Washington. Oct. 21-It is stated by
officials OF the government that the
reports coming from New Orleans as
to an exciting controversy at Havana
between General Fitz Hugh Lee. Unit
ed States consul general. and General
Weyler over the attempted apprehen-
sion Of a Mexican named Fernandez
on board Of the American ship Vigi-
lancia. give q significance and i'm
portance to the event not warranted
by the facts. If there was any ap-
prehension that war would result that
feeling must have been confined en-
tirely to Havana. for the law on the
subject is too clear and its applica-
ton has been so firmly established by
precedent that the officials here were
in no doubt as to the outcome. Con-
sui General Lee has not Informed the
state department OF the AFFAIR. and
the fact that he did not deem It worthy
OF the expense OF cabling. but will
| treat it only in the routine way through
| mail reports. is evidence of the i'm
portance he accorded to the incident.
Sensation Made Out Of Whole Cloth.
The Spanish authorities received Ha-
vana advices fully explaining the case.
but these adviceS were of an entirely
pacific character and treated the mat
ter as an incident which had been
| satisfactorily adjusted between Gem
| eral Weyler and Consul General Lee
without any breach of their friendly
| relations. The facts as reported are
substantially these: General Weyler Or
| dered the arrest of Fernandez as a
| suspect. not knowing at the time of
the issuance of the order that he was
| on board an American ship. Later.
General Lee notified the Spanish au-
thorities that the Vigilancia was an
American ship, which. under our treaty
rights. had an immunity from search
| and seizure for suspects in transit to
other ports. General Weyler promptly
acceded to the position taken by Cen
| eral Lee and the affair ended. No pro-
tests or claims were submitted to
| Washington by either side. 1t is said
positively that the report that General
Weyler ever contemplated firing on the
IVigilancia, or trained the guns of Moro
/ Castle on the ship, are incorrect.
Uncle Sans Doctrine In the Case.
| The doctrine maintained by the Unit
ed States in cases like that of Fer
| nandez is that any foreign ship not a
national vessel or man -of-war entering
| port subjects herself to the local
| laws of the place. Consequently. IL
there should he on board a fugitive
| from justice he can be reclaimed by
| the local officers, provided il is done
| strictly according to due process OF
| law. 1t is in just this proviso that
Fernandez found safety. and in this
his case is a parallel to that OF the

our own oYricers. and as a result the
purposes of the government have been
defeated. This has occurred SO often
that the officials have determined to
put a stop TO IL. rs far a. possible. by
issuing sealed orders to the captains

employ of the federal government his
services have been more extensive. In
der the first administration of President
Cleveland he was appointed deputy col
lector of customs and after serving
through the full term was one of the
very few to be reappointed to the same
position under the second administra-
ton.
Mr.. Field has great faith in the future
Of Deming. In the section surrounding
the thriving town he sees wonderful
possibilities, when circumstances shall
combine for their development. Speak
ing of the subject Mr. Field says:
"Our future depends largely upon the
action of the railroad companies. We
want them to give up quibbling over
freight rates, and diverting our legiti-
mate traffic. Then we want to see a
scheme developed for irrigating the val
ley. We have soil that will produce
anything. have never seen more
prolific soil anywhere. We have untold
mineral possibilities, which will remain
untold as long as the financial problem
of this government remains unsolved.
Free silver and immigration will do the
work for this section, and | believe that
our hopes in this direction are about to
be realized.'

MORA COUNTY.
Agriculture-Cattle--S Sheep.

Mora county lies between Taos and
Union counties, and is bounded on the
south by Colfax.
The eastern part Of the county is best
fitted for grazing, while on the west
there is wide extent of farming country,
not surpassed in any part of the west.
This section is included in the Watrous,
Mora and La Cueva valleys, all enjoying
unusual facilities in the matter OF water
and having thousands Of acres under
splendid system of irrigation.
Mora the county seat, is situated in
Mora valley and has fine court house
and other commodious and well-ar-
ranged public buildings Stock raising
is an important industry in Mora
county.
Good land may be had in any Of the
fine valleys Of this county for from $40
to s25 per acre, including water right.
The western half of the county is
beautiful farming country. On the
west it is protected from high winds by
the Las Vegas and Santa Fe mountains.
On the east tower the Turkey noun
tain, detached range that circles the
valley until the Aqua Fria mountains
are reached on the north. Within the
main valley flows the Mora. 1t takes
up in it's course the Coyote, Cebolla, La
lara and Sapello, every one of which
flows through fertile valley. This
county lies in long, regular nndulationA,

of elevated plateaus interspersed with
foot hill slopes, and following the general
direction of the Mimbres range of noun
tains, several miles away.
The place was stage station in the
old days. and in 1862 the springs were
taken up by ID. B. Lacy. In 1872 the
property passed into the hands of Col.
Richard Hudson, who recognizing its
climatic and scenic advantages aimed to
make it resort. With this end in view
he erected an adobe hotel S0xS0, and
sent forth the discovery of spring, the
waters of which had worked some wou-
derful cures in several seemingly in
durable cases of rheumatism, kidney,
stomach and blood troubles.
In March, 1894, Mr.. A. r. Graham be-
came the owner and some months later
succeeded in organizing company,
known as the Hudson Hot Springs San
itarium Company. Elaborate improve
ments were commenced at once, the first
thing being, of course, the erection Of a
hotel. This building was completed
some time ago, and possesses all the
comforts and conveniences OF modern
metropolitan hostelry. 1t has the finest

and furnished with hot and cold water,

short distance in the rear of the
hotel is located the hot spring, the
waters of which flow constantly at
temperature of l42 degrees Fahrenheit,
and effect marvellous cures in cases of
rheumatism, nervous disorders, and
blood and skin diseases.
The supply of water is abundant, and
it's properties are similar in many re.
spects to those found in the waters of
Carlsbad, the famous German resort,
and the Hot Springs of Arkansas. A
commodious and well-appointed bath
house stands fifty feet distant from the
hotel, supplied with every convenience
for the accommodation of guests.

years ago he added furniture and un-
dertakers' supplies, and he has at the
present time one of the largest estab-
ishmcnts in the territory. Two com.
modious buildings are required to hold
this immense stock, which for variety
and general excellence can not be ex-
celled anywhere in the southwest. Mr..
Mahoney is also owner of the Eclipse
dairy, which has turned out to be a
profitable enterprise, as well as a source
of pleasure to its proprietor. who is a
fancier of fine stock. His herd consists
of thirty-fve thoroughbred Jerseys and
Holsteins said to be the finest in New
Mexico.
Mr.. Mahoney is member of the
board of regents of the territorial nor
NAL school at Silver City, and also a
member of the Deming board of educa-
ton, positions in which he has acquitted
himself with great credit.
In the social and business life of the
town he is recognized leader, and by
courtesy and strict business principles
he has won the respect OF the entire
community.
