ager of the Santa Fe and Atlantic &
Pacific railways, has caused the follow
Ing announcement to be posted along
both lines:
The management of the Santa Fe
route, desirous of increasing the busi-
ness of the company, and also Of fur
thering the prosperity of those whose
homes are in the territory served by its
lines, has organized an Industrial De,
partment whose object will be to assist
SO far as it can properly do so, in the
development of local resources and the
esta blishment of new industries at
points where favorable opportunities
for such industries exist. It will not
take any financial interest in the pro-
posed industries, as it will have no
money to invest nor cash to contrib
ute, nor will it foster or favor any prop
ositiOn which does not rest upon a
sound business basis; but it is proposed
to cooperate with the people in any le-
gitimate enterprise favored by local
conditions, and to that end solicits cor
respondence. Communications should
be addressed to Jas. A. Davis, Indus,
trial Commissioner, Great Northern
hotel, Chicago.
There are two industries that could
bo oc+o bIieboJ -, yET;-o1o.- L:l
be built up, under favorable conces-
sions by the railroad company, to con-
siderable magnitude. One is the man.
ufacture of brick and the other cement
works. 1t is a well established fact
that Winslow brick is far superior to
ys.s . 80. ssh ~ tgs0 Ia the southwest.
With favorable freight rates they could
and would be shipped in both direc-
lions from this point in considerable
quantities.
There is a large and almost mex.
haustible deposit of gypsum here that
makes a cement equal to any manufac-
tured IN the United States. It has been
tested and proven, so that this is not
mere assertion, but an established fact.
Now let our citizens take advantage
Of this offer, get together, work in har-
mony, and try to do something to build
mp the town. 1t is to the interest of
every one who is business here, or who
owns property here, to put his shoul-
der to the wheel and push these enter
prises along. They may be small, but
they will be starters, and others are

Bradstreet's last weekly report says.
Win the exception Of reports from a
dozen south Atlantic coast and Gulf
cities, jobbers at nearly all distribut-
ing centers say that business is dull
land without new features. The demand
IS improved at Chicago and st. Louis
for hats, hardware, shoes and dry goods,
but the trade in these lines is fair only.
Cold weather has stimulated purchases
Of clothing at some points. Little gen.
eral recovery from holiday dulness is
reported as yet. At most centers sales
men are just starting out. Collections
are reported unsatisfactory, but in
many instances merchants express
themselves as hopeful of a good spring
business. The weeks total Of business
failures in the United States is 488, one
of the largest ever reported. This is
contrasted with 325 in the last week of
1896, with 446 in the first week OF 1896,
405 in the corresponding week Of 1896
and 4S4 in 1894.

The value of the mineral output Of
Arizona, including gold, silver, lead,
copper and limestone, for the last year
is fixed at $13,978,233. The mining in
dustry of the territory is in its infancy
as yet. There are more good undevel-
oped claims of gold, silver and copper
in Arizona than any other state OF ter
ritory in the Union. When they are
made producers this territory will take
the front rank in the output of prec-
ious metals.

introduced to him l remarked his strength,
and he told me it was only a while ago when
he was out of sorts, all run down, no appetite
and troubled with sleeplessness. He was adj
vised TO and did use joys Vegeta bic Sarsapa-
rilla. He told me exactly what hundreds have
before said. He soon began to sleep at night,
his bowels acame regular, his appetite re-
turned, and he was enabled to do q good days
work, eat fair share of food. and sleep hts
allotted hours Now he weighs $50 pounds,
ana In LII his movements shows tho perfectly
healthy man. Speaking of Joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla, he said: al did not use the
remedy until had been advised to do so, and
then did not put much faith in ii, but now
can safely say that joys Vegetable sarsapa-
rille is great remedy, and that it clarifies the
blood. leaving no bad effects the entire

on my face; never had the least disagreeable
feeling while used joys Vegetable Sarsapa-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4. - Con-
sideration of the bill making appropria-
tions for the expenses of the District of
Columbia for the year ending June 80,
1898, engaged the attention of the House
to-day to the exclusion of almost all other
business, and at adjournment it was still
the unfinished business.
The further conference asked by the
Senate upon the immigration bill was
agreed to and conferees were appointed.
Among the few bills passed IN the course
OF the day were the following: Granting
right of way through the Gila River Res
ervation in Arizona to the Hudson Reser-

LEGISLATION FOR
SAN FRANCISCO
Continued from First Po1e.i

ing of the City Gem meteries should be left to
a vote OF the people of the City.
Ex.Superyisor BurIing declared the
agitation to be melted by the San Mateo
cemetery associations who, he said, were
interested in the closing of the City ceme-
teries so as to increase their own revenues.
By a unanimous vote the com mittee de-
cided to recommend that the bill do not
pass.
William Clayton, the secretary of the
San Francisco and San Mateo Electric
Railway Company, appeared before the
joint committee in opposition to the
Braunhart bill for 211z-cent fares on street
railways at certain hours of the morning
and evening.
He stated that the receipts of the COM
pany for the year 1896 averaged S533 % per
day and that one-third of this amount
was collected between the hours pre-
scribed in the bill for making tie reduced
rate. This would mean loss of $7S "a a
day to the company. The argument
made that reduction in rates would in
crease the traffic he pronounced to be
fallacious. He said the population of San
Francisco was not great enough to supply
this expected increased traffic. Many who
now ride at other hours, he said, would
take advantage of the prescribed half
rate hours, and thus the revenue Of the
company would be still further dimin-
ished. He asserted that no man of re.
sponsibiiity would take the road as a gift
If this bill were passed.
Many other roads, he believed, would
have to be abandoned, as it would be
profitable to operate roads only on the
most-traveled streets, such as Market
street and Kearny street. Wages OF street.
car employees, he assured the committee,
would certainly be the first to suffer if
any decrease occurred III the revenue of
the company.
Referring to the Toronto street railways,
which it has been stated were operated at
great profit under reduced rate system,
he said the regular car employees there
were paid but 16 2-3 cents per hour, while
extra men received but Is cents. In San
Francisco all car employees received %
cents per hour. He also stated that rail-
road supplies cost less there than here.
In conclusion he said the passage of the
bill would mean the practical confiscation
OF the property OF the ROAD, and that the
company would have to retire from busi-
ness. 1t looked to him, he remarked, as
If this legislation was in the interest of the
great Market-street Railway Company, as
1t would force the little roads to fall into
the hands of that corporation.
George A. Newhall of the Presidio and
Ferries Railway declared that his COM
pany had $500000 invested In the road
and that 1t had earned no dividends for
the past six years. Last year the COM
pany lost s25. 900 and during the last five
years the company had lost go, 900 passen-
gers annually owing to the traffic having
beed diverted to other new competing
lines. He entered into figures and showed
that the company would suffer net loss
of S64 per day if the reduced rates were

FREE SILVER FUSI0NiSTS.
The Long Expected Address at Last Issued
to the Public Proposing Radical
Financial Reforms

DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 4.-The free
silver fusionists of Iowa issued their prom
ised address to the people of the State
to-day.
1t is signed by the nine members OF
committee appointed at a conference here
in Dacem Der of the Democrats, Popullsts
and Silver Republicans OF the State. The
address is very long and temperate IN
tone. 1t recommends that the alliance OF
the three parties be conunu-d on the
same basis as effected in the late cam
paign; that separate organizations be
maintained, but that all conventions, State,
National and district, be held at the same
place and at the same time, and that the
same candidates be named by all.
The address then proceeds with long
discussion OF the political and financial
situation. 1t regards the results of the
recent election as victory for silver, in
spite of the result in the electoral colleges,
and declares that there can be no perma-
nent return of prosperity to the country
under the gold standard.
The fact that McKinley's election has
not brought a return of prosperity is
pointed TO as an evidence that it will not
ultimately produce better times.

Janeiro, in April, 1888. He told me that
he held a certificate of com potency, and
only shipped before the mast because he
wanted to get out of the place. He was a
good seaman, and truthfully, can only
remember of one occasion on which he
gave trouble. He was laid up with the
rheumatism, as well as l can remem Der,
and was on the sick list when we reached
port. l sent for the doctor, and that gen.
tleman said he was not so sick but that
he could work. went into the forecastle
with the second mate with the lotion the
doctor had left, but Ashe got into a vio-
lent rage and refused TO allow me to apply
the medicine.
He also remarked that he had it in for
the captain of the Star of Russia, and that
he would make both of Us suffer before he
was through with the matter. When we
reached our dock Ashe was arrested, and
just be efore the Olivebank sailed 1 paid
him off in Jail, giving him 80 shillings
that was coming TO him, and ! think his
receipt is now on board.
Last trip, or last December rather,
when we were in Newcastle, 1 ran across
Ashe; or, as you call him, Butler. again.
He vas well dressed and prosperous. and
when he accosted me on the street
stopped and spoke to him. In answer to
my questions he said be had cone from
Sydney to ship as mate of a vessel, and he
expected to get away in few days. He
went about openly in Newcastle, and
seemed to have plenty of friends. Dur
ing the voyage he made on my ship as a
sailor he did not impress me as a bad
man, nor did he show any sign of insub-
ordination until we were within few
days of port. He was a good sailor, and
did his work well. He seemed fairly well
educated, and appeared to me 20 be above
the rank of an able seaman"
Arthur Partridge, one of the apprentice
boys on the OlIvebank. was on the ship
for his first voyage when Butler joined
her at Rio de Janelro. He at once
recognized the picture of the supposed
murderer, and said that when he joined
the ship Ashe said he had been second
mate of the Scottish Glens.
"The men in the forecastle did not like
him." said Partridge. because he had
refused to scrub the boat on the main
hatch because he thought it would make
him look undignified. He had to do his
work. however, and he vowed to get even
with some one."
Captain Petrie and Apprentice Part
ridge will probably be called upon to-day
by the police to identify Lee Weller" as
the man who, in 1898 passed himself off
as Richard Ashe, second mate of the Scot.
