ing citizen of that Territory. Our
sheep men are in high, good humor
over the increase in value of their
fiocks, which has been considerable
since the enactment of the new

"For years New Mexico has been
hampered by INADEQUATE railroad
facilities, but now there is cer-
tainty of railway construction that
will open up some magnificent but
hitherto undeveleped country. AS
everybody knows we have the

The close of navigation is at hand,
and thousands of unfortunate adj
venturers are caught in the wilds
Of Artlc Alaska, without means TO
carry them through the winter.
The press of the country is filed
with awful stories of what will
happen to the victims of what will
be remembered in the future as the
widest tenderfoot wild goose chase
ever INDUCED in by people in all
parts of the United States. Pixies
p ak was a basket picnic compar-
ed with it; Leadvile a pleasant
place for an easy outing. Yet per-
sons unused to prospecting and the
great hardships of mountain and
frontier life had not the least bust
ness in either district at the times
Of their earliest Blooms" In the
case OF the far off Alaskan gold
fields, the "tendcrfoot" has less ex-
cuse for going to them, than in any
other in mining history. The hard
ships, trials and dangers up there,
are things that only the greatest
vigon, .hordihood and experience
may hope to sustain. Yet the rush
of the "tenderfoot" has kept up
right along, and now we shall have
results.
***
THE WARM INDIA The stu
alton presented by the Indian Re-
bellion against British rule is be-
coming more serious daily. The
news received is, no doubt, colored
on the side of the English Govern
ment.
AS all our news from the war in
India comes through government
channels, it is fair presumption
/ that it does not make the situation
any worse than.it really is. Judg-
ing from the general conditions and
dangers now menaciDg the British
Empire, the suspicion is justified
that reports from the scene of hos
tilities do not tell the whole truth.
THE other day it was reported the
contract Afridi troops, who were
garrisoning the forts in the Khyber
Pass, defended them bravely for
hours, and only surrendered before
fierce assaults of vastly superior
numbers. Now, it appears that
after firing few perfunctory shots
they opened the gates to their kins
men and joined them. Immediately
upon receiving this Information the
commanding officer at Jamrud dis
4 armed the regiment of Khybel
Rifles, at that point, as q measure
of precaution.
"Details given of the movement
and counter movements in North
ern India are somewhat confusing
and it is not likely that the British
military authorities are any to-
anxious to pass accurate informa
F ton to the outside world, which, a
least, includes some enemies of tn
empire. The admission that it will
take 10000 troops to subdue tn
Afridis, is highly significant. 1t i
, said to indicate that the uprising O
the northern tribes has b,com
general. Doubtless it comedies al
unleasant truth. The 10000 troup
to fight the Afridis, will not includ
any force that it may be necessar,
, to send against their fierce neigh
/ bors and allies, the Orakzias, VIII
alone, it is reported, can put 10000
we'll armed men in the field, an
these, behind the rocks of their al
most inaccessible mountain fast
nesses, are a match for a goo

HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.
:, New York, Jan. 26.-Hubbard Bros. d
Co. say of cotton:
The strength OF values was due to de-
mand from spinners and continental ex-
ports for cotton in the market and CON
1Inued inquiries here for suitable grades.
The exporters took large stock in Janu-
airy, which would in other seasons be ac-
cepted as an indication of small reserve
supplies in the south and have led to an
active. speculation. Locally there is little
disposition to look for an immediate inn
provement because of the advance of
speculation, but pressure on this market
shows disposition to buy contracts on
balance of transactions. The demand for
spot cotton in the southern markets was
ket to the close.

I| p LETTER

Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange, 401
East Sixth street. Phone PAL. Private
wires)
New Orleans, Jan. 26.-On moderate
business the cotton market closed steady
terday. Trading was sem-professional
with some buying to cover contracts sold
against spot, cotton. The weather no
doubt was a lettering factor in the way
of short selling, and buyers were COM
PEELED to increase their limits. Sales of
spots were 1850 bales at full prices.
The bleakness of the weather and the
cloudy day had its effect. The future
market continues very narrow and the
future course of the market is somewhat
in doubt, altogether. We do not look
for any decided change in either direc-
ton.
