Business Between the American Re-
publics.

commerce of the principal cities of
this country and nearly hundred rep
resentativ from the countries of
South and Central America. The Phi

this city, the institution having been
founded June 10, 1894. by the ordinance
of the councils of Philadelphia, in
persuance of plan submitted by him.
Its purpose is the enlargement of mark
cts of American manufacturers and es-
pecially the promotion of closer trade
relations between this country and the
other nations of the western hemis-
phere. The Museum is governed by
a board of trustees elected by the
councils of Philadelphia, but the ad
ministration of its affairs is also par
ticipate1 in by an advisory board of
which all the delegates present at to-
days meeting are members.

Las Cruces and Neighborhood.

A great deal of young fruit in the
vicinity of Tularosa has been blown
down by the high winds recently
prevailing, but it is thought no dam
age has been done, as the trees were
overloaded.
Numa Raymond and family will
leave Switzerland about the first of
June and return to Las Cruces. No
persons would be more heartily well
come.
Several wagon loads of salt from the
lakes near Tularosa are on the road,
consigned to Martin Lohman.
The click of the moving machines
are heard all over the valley, and q
large crop is being harvested.
Two wagon loads of peachblow pota-
toes came in on Monday from Penasco,
in the Sacramento mountains. They
found ready sale.

a goo1 exemplification of the unre-
liza ability of expert testimony is being
made in the Fair will contest now Oc
cupying the tine of the San Francisco
courts. An expert named Carvalho,
while undergoing a severe croSs-exam
ination the other day testified that sew
enteen years ago he bad sworn as ex-
D TT that James a. Garfield was the
author of the celebrated Morey letter.
n so testifying, he acknowledged, he
was mistaken, because he had since
found that James a. Garfield did not
write the Morey letter, but that its
author was the once president of a
powerful association. who is now
wanderer on the face of the earth.
Another expert bg the name of
Ames, who also took a prominent part
in the celebrated MOrey letter case,
and who is likewise engaged in the Fair
W II contest, DOS not agree with Mr..
Carvalho. He declares that the author
of the Morey letter was Kenward
Philip, the editor of New York
penny paper, whom Garfield had ar
rested for criminal ibeI-and not the
one-tlme president OF corporation, as
CarvalhO seems to think.
These two men who disagree to such
an extent in the Morey letter case, re-
Gently agreed with a third expert in
the Quackenbush case in San Francis
Co that certain marriage contract
had been erased with acid and re-
written above Quackenbush' sigma
ture. The paper was subsequently
submitte d to an eminent chemist, who
declared that no acid had ever been
used on the paper, and the court held
that the experts were wrong and the
chemist was right. These men, whose
business is to identify handwriting and
who have SO thoroughly demonstrated
their fall biiity, do not work for moth
ing. This was evidenced by the tes-
timopy of Expert Carvalho given under
crosS-eXam m nation in the Fair case last
Thursday. CarvalhO's testimony was
to the effect that he received $50 a day
W hiie in transit, and 500 day while
in San Francisco. So far, he had re-
ceived $1,000.
In this cOnnec ion it might b well to
suggest that when an attorney hires
an expert at 500 a day, the attorney
knows how that expert is going to
testify before he employs him. In
other words, the document which the
attorney wants to prove to be fraudu-
lent is submitted TO the ex ert. If the
expe lays it is fraudulent, he gets a
lob to testify in court. If he does not
think it fraudulent, he does not get the
job.
1t is upon such testimony as this that
wills are daily broken in our courts,
and it seems that the only way for rich
men 10 be sure of having their inten-
| tions carried out is to adopt tue plan
of making ante-mort I'm gifts OF their
property sacramento tCal.) Bee.

Coal From the West.

A Leavenworth dispatch says
Some six weeks ago the coal contracts
were let at Fort Leavenworth, and for
the first time Pennsylvania anthracite
had a competitor from the west, and
from advices received yesterday the
new coal has captured the business.
The latter is the product of the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company, of Denver
from their mines at Los CerrillOs,
New Mexico.
These mines are situated twenty
seven miles south of Santa Fe, N. NJ,
at the town of Waldo, on the main line
of the Santa Fe railroad, where there
is an endless supply of the coal
throughout the hills, the coal taking
its name from the Spanish, Los Ger
rillos, meaning little mountains.
While the competition was close, the
award was made on the basis of test
made by the quartermaster-gener at
Washington, in which it was shown
that it took ], ,757 pounds of Penns7l-
vania anthracite to equal cord OF
hard wood, while the same results were
produced with l ,657 pounds of Los Ger
rillOs coal. In a contract of the mag
nitude of the one let at Fort Leaven-
WORTH, SOC, 900 pounds-this is quite
a saving.

The ladies over the river are taking
an active hand in aiding the flood suf-
ferers, and Senoras Lupe Alarcon
Refugia Uranga and Carlota Bermudes
have collected $500 Mexican money
| ] hey will go to Chihuahua and raise
further funds there, all of which will
| be turned over to the benevolent or
ganizatiOn on this side.
Agent Trull estimated it would re-
quire forty cars of Stag and stone to
| build that canal dam; Lieut.. Davis
| estimated from thir ty-ive to fOrty-fve,
and Alderman Clifford who said he
| had had much experience in such
things, declared that Mr.. Trull did not
know what he was talking about, and
that it would require great many
more car loads. Experience shows
that twelve car loads sufficed to stop
the water, and to make the job per-
manent and complete, dozen more
will be necessary.
| Agent Trull of the Santa F'e receiv-
| ed word this morning that there was a
raise of two inches in the river at San
| Antonio last night. He believes from
the general tenor of the reports receiv-
| ed by MIN, that the river will remain
stationary for some time to come ere
it takes the final drop for the season.
The little Mexican settlement that
fought back the flood so steadily on the
left side of Santa Fe street near the
bridge, have now the satisfaction of
seeing the waters receed and their pos
sessions safe.
Doctor Higgins has had the misfor-
tune to have his valuable theological
library ruined by the flood water that
came up into his cellar on San Antonio
street. These books were highly
priced by him as they were bought
when he was student, and he pinch ed
himself many a time in order to secure
the coveted literary treasures.
There are many compla nts about
Mexicans refusing to work as long as
there is chance of being fed. One
lady in search of girl called on at
least two dozen women, she 5 iys. whore
they were camped on the hill side, and
none would work because they said
they were going to be fed. The men
too come in for their share of the criti-
cism as many refuse to bulge unless
paid exOrbitant wages, because they
are being fed and cared for free.
Mayor Magoffin received a message
from Senator Turney this afternoon, at
Austin, stating that the house had ad-
iourned before the bill for relief of Ell
Paso had been signed by the governor:
but It would be all righf, and the sena-
tor and the county judge would have

AGalIows Candidate.

Pedro Aguirre, middle aged Mex
lean, is in the county Jail. placed there
this morning by State Ranger j. A.
Rodgers, of d troop, Hughes captain:
and from the story accompanying the
arrest. it is evident that somebody S
neck Is dangerously liable to be Off
cially segregated ere the year is
out.
According to the statements made to
the officers and this paper, Aguirre
lured Juana Hernandez, aged II. away
from her home in JuareZ, Sunday even
ing, ard taking her up along the Mex
lean side of the river crossed over into
New Mexico near the new brick yard
where the wretch kept the girl for
shameful purposes until last evening
when he brought the child over to the
Texas side, and corraled her in house
81 on the smelter hill. There he kept
her until this morning.
In the meantime Juan Hernandez
and wife. the parents of the little girl,
searched her high and low, and
with the assistance of friends were able
to trace the steps of the twain to the
house at the smelter. They then called
upon Ranger Rod gers. who is station ed
at the settlement as the agent of Stew
art x Crawford, and Arguirre and the
child were found in the house referred
to. Sr. and Sra. Hernandez took their
child home to Juarez after promising
to appear tomorrow morning as prose-
cutting witnesses before Justice Mckie.
Juana was in terrible condition. and
her recovery is a matter of some doubt.
Mr.. Rodgers put his.prisOr er in irons
and landed him without delay in the
county Jail. The girls mother is a
sister of ex-Chief of Police Jose Domin-
guez, Of Juarez, and the first thing
Arguirre asked after being arrested
was, "Will be taken over the river?'
On being told he would not. he seemed
much relieved.
