interview with Mr.. S. II. Godfrey,
a correspondent of the Telegram

dicially in the matter of refusing to
file the resolution. while his duties are
simply ministerial Without passing
on the act of the association. the court
orders the writ Of mandate be issued
as prayed for. Opinion by Chief JUS
tice Pemberton.
State of Montana ex rel. William
Bickford, relator. VS.. A. b. Cook. The
court holds that the lands granted by
congress to the state for capitol pur-
poses are only to be sold to create a
specific fund for such uses; that the
state Is trustee to carry out the trust
created by the act of congress, and
that the state capitol commissioners
and other state officers are but agents
for the execution of the trust. II is de-
cided that no state debt can be created
by warrants against the fund and that
such warrants constitute no claim
against the state and the holders of
such warrants can only look 10 the
state officers as agents to properly do
their duties under the law. and to this
specific trust fund for payment.
The state board OF examiners are
therefore not to pass upon claims Of
the commissioners, as such claims are
not claims against the state The
court says that by previous decisions
OF the state, the question of the eligi-
bility of Lloyd and Flowerree cannot
be decided in this mandamus case as II
is collateral to the issue raised. But
the opinion closes by saying that
where an officer acts under color of le-
gal appointment by competent author
ity. although he may be ineligible, yet
so far as public interests are affected,
his acts are deemed valid. The writ is
ordered to issue. Opinion by Justice
Hunt, all concurring.

der no circumstances would they sub
scribe a cent for a contest in which
Corbett was one of the principals. but,
II was added, any other American

Shocking Story Comes from Yokohama

HUMAN FLESH FOR SALE LIKE PORK
Description of Ghastly Spectacle Wit
messed in a Formosa Village-Bod-
les Beheaded and Frightfully
Mutilated.

Victoria, B. e., Feb. 12.-Terrlble
stories come from Yokohama, some cor
respondents going so far as to say that
the Chinese practice cannibalism. Early
in January the rebels took possession of
the village of Kelung. A detachment of
japanese was sent to attack the place and
after considerable opposition succeeded
in driving the rebels off and entering the
village, which was afterward fired.
A correspondent of the Japan Mail, in
speaking of the arrival of the Japanese
troops in the village, says: "The troops
were Mortified at the CHASTITY spectacle of
nineteen bodies of their countrymen be-
headed and frightfully mangled. They
were railway workmen who had met death
at the hands of the fiends.
"ManY of your readers may not be
aware of the cannibalism that exists
among the Chinese, although there is
probably not foreigner in Formosa but
knows of the eating of portions OF the
bodies of savages, or is unaware of the
markets in the Formosa settlements con-
tanning the flesh of human savages for
sale. During the outbreak of 1891, SO
great was the loss of life that savage flesh
was brought in and sold the same as pork
in the markets.
"The mutilated bodies of Japanese were
found, several of them disemboweled and
with their hearts cut out, and also minus
other parts. Some were found who had
been burned at the stake, the embers still
smoking"

EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, February z.
Whereas, on or about the first day of
February, 1896, Albert j. Fountain aud
his son, Henry Fountain, we're kidnapped
by unknown parties, supposed to be
three in number, on the road between Tu-
larosa and San Agustin, iu the county of
Dona Ana, and have either been murder
ed or carried captive into the San Fran
Gated by the trail leading in that direc-
tion;
Now, therefore, for the purpose of ae-
curing their speedy releaee if alive or the
discovery of their bodies if dead, and the
arrest and conviction of their murderers,
I, w. T. Thornton, governor of the terri
tory of New Mexico, by virtue of the au-
thority in me vested, do issue this procla-
nation calling upon all good citizens of
the territory, and especially of the coun-
ties of Dona Ana, Lincoln, Eddy and
Chaves, to turn out and aid the authori-
ties in searching for the said A. j. Foun-
tain and son, if alive, and their bodies if
dead, and that thorough search be made
through all the eastern portion of Dona
Ana, southern portion of Lincoln and
the western portion of the counties of
Chaves and Eddy, and that all due effort
be made to rescue the victims and bring
the criminals to justice.
The crime perpetrated is SO grave and
heinous that it behooves all good citizens
who wish to see crime stopped and the gull
ty punished to turn out and do their whole
duty, and as far as possible protect the
honor and reputation of our territory by
promptly discovering aud bringing to
punishment the guilty parties.

MORE TALK OF EXTENSION.
Revival Of the Project to Build the u.
4 X. Il. SOuthward-Hinges on
the A. 4 r. Deaf.

The Denver News is authority for the
statement that the D. & R. G. company
has decided to lay third rail and con-
vert it's line via La Veta between Pueblo
and Santa Fe into standard gauge road.
1t adds that it is likely that tunnel will
be run under La Veta pass, surveyors
now being at work on the project.
All this, it is said, with view ultimate.
ly to an extension of the d. & R. G. line
from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. The
News then presents figures to show that
by such an enterprise the d. 4 R. G.
mileage between Denver and Santa Fe
would be 400 miles as against the A., T.
Il s. F. company's $50 miles, and were the
line extended to Albuquerque the dis
tance from Denver to that point would
be 4S4 miles as against 529 miles over
the A., I. &S. F.
This is very cheering and important
for New Mexico--if true. 30 often, how.
ever, has this matter been discussed that
our people are most dubious about results,
though, If, as now seems probable, the A.
4 p. road becomes an Independent line,
1t is most likely that some such move as
this will materialize Immediately to the
beneht of this territory.

Parliament on the Queens
Speech.
AMERICAN PLUCK WARMLY APPLAUDED
English Government Warned that Irish
Party Would Resist to the Utmost
Any Idea of War Between En-
gland and United States.

London, Feb. IL. - 1t is announced
from good source that, following the
advice of the United States, Venezuela
has practically decided to send repre-
sentative to London with power to open
direct negotiations with the government
of Great Britain for the settlement of the
boundary dispute.
LIVELY DABATE IN PARLIAMENT.
In the house of commons to- day debate
on the address in reply to the queen 3
speech was resumed.
John Dillon said that he would not be
surprised if the "beggardly character Of
the reference to Ireland In the speech"
did not more firmly fix in the minds of
Irishmen the conviction that nothing
could be obtained from England except
by violent agitation.
Mr.. Dillon announced an amendment
to the address censnring the government
for not proposing self-government for
Ireland.
"Not long ago." Mr.. Dillon continued,
"there was great deal of talk about
British ships blowing up American
cities. Such language had happily ceased
and the English people had learned that
President 'Cleveland's message was not
an election dodge, but spoke the voice of
the American naticn which was not
afraid to face the arbitrament of war if
England refused arbitration.
"But arbitration was to be accepted
now, after America had been forced to
threaten. 1t would have been decent if
Great Britain had accepted arbitration
when Secretary Olney suggested it,"
He warned the government that the
IRISH party would resist to the utm
any idea of war between Great Britain
and the United States.
