IMPROVED CONDITIONS.

Among the factors affecting the money
market favorably in the general tendency
towards an Improvement in the earnings
of the railroads, both gross and net, as
compared with those of year ago. The
gross earnings of so roads for the first
week of May amounted to $6,316,485, an
increase of $20S,295, or BAL per cent oyer
the same period in 1896; while Sc roads
for the second week of May report 3d.
1863, 700, an increase of $26O,4S7, or 5.31
per cent over the same period last year.
AS to net earnings, 1856 roads show an IN
crease of $1,6l5,0O0 for March, or at the
rate of about 8 per cent; while, for the
first three months of the year, 179 reads
exhibit gain of $l,65l, 900, or at the rate
Of nearly per cent. One Of the most
satisfactory features of this improvement
is that it extends pretty evenly over the
roads of all sections, showing that the re-
covery is due TO causes common to the
country at large.

going ahead. Thousands of miles of
lines can be enumerated for which room
and need seem apparent on an Intelligent
study of the situation, and whose con-
etruction, therefore, is merely q question
of better times. For a few of these con-
tracts have already been let, while the
promoters Of others are sanguine that
they will get under way this year. Besides
the legitimate enterprises there are va
rious Do per schemes, euch as that Of a
new trenscontinental line, which have
little likelihood of accomplishment but
altogether there is already better out

observed for several previous years.
There are few sections of the country
which preaent today better field for
railway investment than New Mexico,
and this fact of late ia being realized by
the leading railway men of the United
States generally. This is proved by the
many enterprises now under considera-
tion, and relating to the territory, several

THE hanging of the San Francisco muir
derer, Durrant, will probably come off on
Friday, the 18th of June, with the ap-
proval and concurrence of an overwhelm-
ing me jority of the people of the United
States. Durrant belongs to the most
horrible and odious class of criminals, the
hYpocrites, the crawling, treecherous,
fair-seeming shedders of innocent blood.
Even the methods of his defense were
criminal. Justice never called with more
reason for an example than in his case.
