The Proposed Road from San Mi
guel to San Juan.

The Malamoros Cronista of yester-
day has an article regarding the
railroad concession recently grant
ed Gov. Mainero, which is in sub
stance as follows:
"The official organ Of the State OF
Tanaulipas publishes the conces-
sion granted by the general govern
meat to the state of Tamaulipas for
railroad from San Miguel de Ca
MARCO to San Juan. The secretary
of public works does not exactly de-
termine the route, but limits the
distance 10 200 kilometers, with a
subsidy of $1,000 for every kilome-
ter of road built.
eve Opine that the road will be
built to Monterey, via Camargo,
Mfer and Cerralvo. The cost will
be the same to San Juan, and the
benefit derived by this route will
more certainly insure success to the
promoters oriowners of the road. Be-
sides, being a narrow gauge road. no
transfer of passengers or freight at
Monterey for the interior of Mexi-
co would be necessary, as the Mex
lean National system with which
the proposed road would connect at
Monitor ey) is a narrow gauge road"

a Crocodile one Hundred Rect Long.

1t is well known fact, even among
those who make no pretense of having
tkRir heads0tored with geological and
archaeological lore, that the beasts and
reptiles which existed in theiearly ages
of the world were giants when com
pared with the very largest representa-
tives Of the same types which still sur
yive This fact has recently been strfk-
ingly illustrated by find made at
Poitiers where excavations are being
made under the auspices of the Oriental
Academy of Science. At that place a
crocodile tooth was found which weighs
almost seven pounds. M. Gerard, the
professor in charge OF the working
corps, says that there is no doubt that
the tooth formerly belonged to a gigan-
tic crocodile, and that there is no posi-
bility whatever that he has oonfcunded
the tooth with that Of the megalyasau-
rus, as some scientists have limited.
NJ. Gerard says: at Is typical croc-
odile tooth and is probably the largest
specimen Of the kind ever seen by man.

SHE WAS A FRIGHT.
The New Woman Makes War on Her
Tailor Blamed Him For Her
Own Mistake.

Into the tailor's presence she came
ike a shot from a gun, and looked
such daggers at him he felt inclined to
run
Her black eyes flashed with anger
and her language was p~rofuse, and
when she raised a threat'ning hand he
trembled in his shoes.
"You ninth part of a mani" she
yelled, "I'l crush you as a fly! This
earthly planet never held a greater
fright than I.
"Gaze on the boomers which |
wear. You made them, sir, for me.
Don't LOOK with such a stupid stare,
but sea- them carefully!
"You guaranteed a perfect fit to
measure, which l brought. Now, do
you think it strange a bit that 1 am
lighting hot!
"Gaze on them well,you s~enseless
goose. Say, am | not a fright? Where
they are tight they should be loose;
where loose they should be tight"
She slowly turned that he might
scan the fitness of the clothes, and as
he gazed that tailor man blushed like
n red, red 49,
With laugh suppressed and bows
profuse he said she'd spoken right;
where they were tight they should be
loose; where loose they should be
tight.
"These, no doubt, r the first" said
he, "the madam ever wore. You've
made a slight mistake, | see. They're
on hind side afore,"
A redder blush, the tailor said, he
never, never saw, and as she in con-
fusion fed, he laughed haw! haw!

G SOW DISC0RD.
Major Harvey Salmon Opposes the
Plan of Electing District Del
egates-Best Stick to
Old Usage.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Major
Harvey ". Salmon, when asked about
the interview of State Treasurer
Stephens in which Mr.. Stephens stated
that the district delegates to the Ma
tional Convention should be selected
by the State Convention at large,
said:
$50 far as / know, the universal
usage of the party has been to select
delegates by districts. 1t is true that
the selections by districts have always
been approved by the convention, but
l know of no case where the conven-
ton has refused its approval"
In replying to the question as to
what he thought would be the effect
of the convention selecting delegates
irrespective of the congressional dis
tricts, Mr.. Salmon said:
~ think it is the wrong time for the
party to start something that will lead
to further trouble. 1t is dangerous.
The meeting at Excelsior Springs Sat
urday was intended to promote har-
mony. would be sorry to see any
thing come up hat would lead to dis
cord.
"If, however," continued MI. Sal
mon, "the question of the method of
selecting delegates is bound to arise, /
would rather g it agitated now than
later, because the convention will be
prepared to meet it. There are a
great many good silver men, 1 believe,
who viii hesitate a long time before
they will do such an extraordinary
thing as to overturn the established
precedents of the party. Suppose the
gold standard men were in control,
and would propose to shut out the
b~imetallists. That would not lead to
harmony, would it?
"No, 1 think that the plan suggested
would be unfortunate, so far as DEM
ocratic success is concerned. The
State convention will undoubtedly in
struct its delegates to the National
Convention for free silver, and ex-
Governor Francis or any other gold
man, no matter what might be his
personal feelings, would undoubtedly
abide by his Instructions

gray was a light tan color, almost yell

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
State Democratic Committee Divided
IN Opinion as to Holding the
Convention.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo-, Jan. "a
The State Democratic Central Com
mittee is in a wrangle over the time
place and manner of holding the Stats
Convention. Sixteen members Of thu
State Central Committee and about 81
politicians from all parts of the Stats
arrived here from Kansas City this
evening. The crowd came on the
same train and the discussions over
place, time of meeting and manner of
~electing delegates, begun at Kansas
City, grew hotter as the train ap-
preached the place where all these
questions were to be decided.
The unfortunate precipitation of the
question as to the manner of choosing
the national delegates was most mo-
ticeable in the differences of opinion
entertained by the Pertle Springs
committeeman. 1t got into every
political contest, and Major Salmon,
who is supposed to want the guber-
Material nomination, and Lon V.
Stephens, who certainly wants it,
the leaders of opposing forces.
Judge James Gibson, of Kansas
City, maintained a neutral attitude.
A number of the new members of the
committee declared they were willing
to go on record as not following the
Pertle Springs resolution in this re-
gard. The most conspicuous of the
opponents to st. Louis was M. E.
Benton, Committeeman at Large. Mr..
Benton declared that he did not be-
ieve the Pertle Springs Convention
would, under present conditions, send
the convention to st. Louis. He has
enough followers to make it certain
that the fight will be made against st.
Louis in the committee room to-mor-
1t is certainly a most peculiar
The old members of the committee
are almost unanimously in favor of
following the instructions of the Per-
tie Springs convention, but some of the
created by that convention
are opposed to obeying it, where it's
action does not suit them. The old
members of the committee who want
to follow the e olutions adopted last
August have humorously dubbed
"strict constructionists,o
and the Pertle Springs committeeman
who want to disregard Instructions,
"nulliiers," and are inclined to make
merry v the situation.
