a number of newspaper reporters start

the murderer behind rock and fired
upon him, the fire being returned and

THE NEW JUSTICE.
Gossip as to the Successor OF Judge
Stephen j. Field.

The most interesting topic of discus
| sion in Washington is the resignation
| of Justice Field and question of who
will succeed him, according to Wash
! in gton dispatch. On this point there
seems to be very little doubt. When
Judge Mckenna accepted cabinet
| portfolio the report was widely cir
| culated that there was an und erstand-
| ing between him and the president
that he would be appointed to the
supreme bench on the retirement of
Justice Field. Tais report was accept
ed as correct by the general public, as
it was cot believed that Judge Mcken-
ma, who is by no means a rich man,
would relinquish life position on the
! circuit bench of California for the
honor of a cabinet place for four years.
Judge Mckenna himself is silent on
this question for the reason, as he eX-
presses it, that it is a delicate subject
for him to discuss, but it is generally
conceded that he will be Justice Field
successor,
There is another Californian, how
ever, who does not seem to be taken
into consideration in this connection
and that is Judge Waymier, who is an
intimate personal friend of President
Mckinley.
John Waymier was formida able RI

cabinet position. He spent several
weeks here last spring, just at the time
when Justice Fields resignation was
in the hands of the president, and it is
known that the president discuss ed
with him the question of what import
ant federal position he would accept
Judge Wayn Ter is one of the best
known lawyers on the coast and as he
is comparatively young man, it is be-
lieved that he discouraged the idea of
appointing him upon the supreme
bench, as he would be compelled to re
| lirqui,h his lucrative law practice. A
| few years in the cabinet, however,
| would not injure his law practice, and
| it is learned from unquestiOnable au-
| thority that he informed the president
that he would be willing to tni~h the
rest of Judge McKenna's term in the
department of justice, if the latter was
elected to the supreme bench.
| 1t is also known that the president
assured Waymier at that time that in
case he appointed McKenna Justice
of the supreme court, Waymier should
succeed him as attorney general. If
j the president has not changed his mind
since that time Judge Waymier, in the
event of Mckenna succeeding Justice
Field, will be placed at the bead of
the department Of justice. He has a
splendid record lawyer and is
popular in California. He may Sc.
cure one or the other of these posi-
tons.

COLORs AND;ODoRs OF SOUND.
Experiments by DIR. WadswOrth the Ex-
pert in Sense Defects.

| pert in Sense Defects.
DIR. William S. Wadsworth, expert
in sense defects and assistant in Prof.
Reichert's physiological laboratory in
the University of Pennsylvania, whose
| Investigations into color-blindness and
the emotional effects of colors have
been widely published of late, has just
given out to the scientific journals his
| most interesting and unique studies In
the colOr5 AMI odOrs of sounds.
He prepared list of 100 combina
tions of single vowels and single con-
sonants, such as ALB, CD, FIG, Cd, &c,
ED, EFF, etc. He then placed q patient,
whose senses were supposed to be de-
fective, in front of him on chair,
covered his eyes with thin screen. so
as to prevent any sympathetic help
from the eyes, and repeated the above
sounds to him, in order and slowly.
When any sound gives rise to al image
of color or odor in the patients mind
he is told to mention the fact, and Dr..
tablet as he goes along. The results
that be has obtained by the examina-
tion of many such seuse-defective
patients form the wierdeSt kind of
reading Imaginable. These studies
have been undertaken to ascertain
whether the sensations of sight, hear
ing, taste, odor, etc, have separate
StorenOuseS ana separate PAIN ways
from the eye. ear, mouth and nose to
these central brain cells, or store
houses, Or whether these sense centers
are mutual aid society connected by
nerve fiber with each other and able to
replace one another vicariously.
DR.. Wadsworth has concluded from
his examination of those whose senses
are defective or who lack one or more
senses that there is this vicariate, so
to speak. Phenomena of this kind
have already been noticed in the deaf
and blind. In the normal healthy per-
son there is no necessity for this
vicariate, and in such there does not
seem to be any connection between sense
centers, such as is found in the de-
fective folk that DR.. Wadsworth has
examined

Notice to Shippers.

Office of Commercial Agent,
Ell Paso. Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
It has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance oil
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests OF
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or.
iginating IN New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond: therefore, we
would request that for the present nc
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter.
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,

This does not in any way effec,
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo

other supposed infect districts is fumi
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

American CapiIal Going to Mexico.

Advices received from Mexico and
the other Latin countries
indicate that money is being invested
in extensive development OF mining
interests and trade facilities by capital
! lists Eof the United States.
There are reports of expenditures of
American capital in large amounts in
Mexico and Honduras. In the latter
republic syndicate has undertaken to
| finance some of its obligations and to
develop some of its resources in a mau-
ner similar to that adopted by the En-
glish syndicate of which the late Lord
RevelstOke was the head for fnancier
ing obligations and developing re-
sources of Peru. Not anywhere near the
enormous capital which the Peruvian
syndicate required will be utilized in
this Honduras scheme, but it is opos-
| ed to eXpend several million dollars,
and ali the capital comes from the Z nit
| ed States. American capital is also
| going into Mexico rapidly and in large
| amounts.
Within few weeks it is probable
that American capital will be employ ed
in opening up territory in Mexico in
which it is known there are consider
able deposits of gold, and may be very
large ones. The president of the
| Mexican Central railway states
that all that is necessary to bring
about great development of gold
mining in the Mexican republic is the
furnishing of the means of transporta-
ton, and that his own information
}justifies him in saying that with suffi-
| cient railroad communication, Mexico
could easily mine at least $50, 900, 200
of gold a year, and it is not rash to
predict that the amount might become
very much larger than that. Even
with lis limited transportation re-
sources, Mexico mined last year near
ly $40 ,000 900 of gold. In some of the
reno err districts thee exists, as there
is eo3d reason to believe, gold mines
of almost fabulous richness, and some
of which may be worked with great
advantage and profit by means of the
cyanide process. These regions will
be explored by experts from this coun.
try, and if the hints of their ricbnes:
are justified by the favorable reports
of the experts, we are likely to see Il:
much activity in the way OF securing
railroad transportation facilities in the
Mexican republic, as in Alaska or the
contiguous British American country

| EDITOR HERALD:
Will you permit me the use of your
columns for the purpose of sounding a
note of warming. In March last Mr..
| Ramsey assured the city council that
| be would begin work on the Ell Paso
Southern railway during the month of
April. He stated in the Ouncil cham
| Der that the lumber to build the bridge
across the Rio Grande had already
been ordered. Upon the strength of
these assurances, his company was
given a right-of-way from the river up
Utah street to Sixth street. 1t was
then predicted that later further fran
chises would be asked for. The Ell
Paso Southern people were not salts
fled with the concession granted, but
they saw it was the best that could be
obtained then: and so one of the prom
oters of the scheme said at the time in
the council room, Lets accept Sixth
street: that will do for the present."
Now, after seven months INSTEAD of
the three weeks promised by Mr.. Ram
sey), there are indications that work
will shortly begin. There are also
indications that the company is about
to ask for additional franchises, such
as the right to run farther up Utah
street and enter Union depot to be
constructed between Third and Fifth
streets, and also the right to run into
the Texas and Pacific depot on First
street Both these franchises may
possibly be asked for, and then again
neither of them: but something is in
the wind, and that some
thing is in co1fiict with
the will of the people as indicated by
the action of the city council last
March and that of the voters of the
city at the election in April. If the
popular will was ever expressed during
a campaign and by the result of an
election, then the last municipal cleo
ton showed conclusively that the peo-
pie of Ell Paso are opposed to the grant
ing of further railroad franchises north
of S Xth street. Not only every can
didate on the republican ticket, but
everyone on the democratic ticket but
one, pledged himself to oppose further
franchises north of Sixth street. Since
then the flood OF May and June has
EN- ohasized the wisdom of keeping the
railroads in that part Of the city. If
the question were put to vote today,
it is probab the northern limit for
future railroad rights-of-way would be
established as far south as Eighth
or Tenth street, as by keeping the road
in that part of the city they would be
compelled, in self-defense, to build the
levee the city so much needs, and thus
give the people some return for the
franchises granted. Verbum sat sa-
pientihus. S. II. NEWMAN.

Grain Letter

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The wheat market to- day showed more weakness than for sey- erad days, the May option opening at 9las to 91h, advancing to 911A then slowly de- clining until it touched 901a at half past the noon hour. December was even more of feature, that month opening at 105, which was the high point for the day, and declin- ing to 973a, while at the time of writing 1t had recovered and advanced to 9Sla. The government report on wheat out today placed the estimate at 590, 0000o0 bushels, and the acreage increase at 1897. The total visible is placed at 3l,7A,0)0 bushes. The Liverpool market closed Is to ss lower than Saturday. Exports of wheat from New York today were 57,962 bushels. Chicago reports about 600,O00 bushels of wheat ar rived from the northwest and now in Chi cago ready to deliver to the clique. Some of this may be included in today's inspec- ton. The worlds shipments for the week were S,933,OOO bushels against 9,90O,0OO last week. Of this amount America shipped G. 0O5, ,OOO against 4,223, 900 last year; Russia 2,112,OOO against 4,14400O last year.
 The provision market was generally 5 cents higher, with estimated hogs for today 8, ,000 Cattle were strong, to higher; re- ceipts, 10000.

New York, Dec. 13.-The stock market opened this morning fractionally higher than Saturdays close, and with practically the same degree of strength that has been manifest for the past two or three weeks, and while some of the stock on the list registered slight declines after the opening, the bears were not sufficiently strong to keep it down, and the fractional losses were very quickly recovered and the opening prices passed on the upward climb. London stock market opened about Saturdays clos ing prices, a few on the list being fraction ally advanced. and closed at a slight ad- vance over the opening, Louisville and Nashville, being the strongest on the list
 Our market up to the noon hour was with out any special features, with the excep- ton of Manhattan, which was quite cratic for time, opening at 1O715 selling down to 1O55s and at the time of writing had ad- vanced to 106%. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy scored an advance of almost lSper cent, having touched 99A. Sugar opened at IA to 143s4, which was the low pointead vanced to 145ss, and receded to 144A. Jensey Central advanced steadily after the dpen- ing until net gain of 11a per cent swas recorded, while the general list showed gains of from 4 to 34 per cent.
