The Roswell Record suggests the
holding of an Intern asional Mountain
and Plains exposition in FL Paso in
1900. Ell Paso is just at the present
tain and plains city to think of exposi-
tions, but between now and 1900 some
of the old fogg.es who have resided
here since Tina immemorial may be
induced to move down to Socorro or
some other place where their sleep
will not be disturbed by the noise of
the hammer ana trowel, and then Ell
Paso will think Of expeditions and such
like. Ell Paso can then have electric
street car lines, good streets, several
railroads that have been retarded can
be built and Give adam Jones can
pass his declining years in shooting
fire-crackers and becoming famous.

Now is good time for the city to
keep up the prosperity moving by the
city keeping abreast with ind vidual
efforts in the way of improvement.
Many people who have held back for
years from putting their money in Ri
Paso property have now loos ned their
purse strings and the result is that
many new buildings have been and are
still being built. Now is the time tor
the city to take q hand. Let new
city hall be built. Build one that will
not be a temporary affair but that will
endure forever and be an ornament to
the city. Let the city also improve the
streets and require sidewalks to be
built in certain limits of the city. 1t
is also time that the city quit building
dirt streets and adopted someOther bet
ter mode of paving. The Increased
values OF taxable property next year
will more than make up the difference
in the city's expenses.

The army officer 10 charge of the
Pueblo and Jiccarilla Indian agency in
New Mexico has submitted very
vigorous report on the dances carried
on by the tribe, and has asked for
instructions looking to giving the
teachers on the reservation security
from insults from the Indians in the
future. He says that he has finished
an inspection of the day schools about
the agency and found many teachers
complaining that on account of the
dance in the Pueblo they were either
locked up in the rooms and C jmpel.ed
to remain th.re until the festivities
were over or driven from the village

Insists, Twill have to be settled sooner
or later. The government cannot go

annually for the civilization of the
Indians when these plague spots exist
and they live on its bounty"

Another report of terrible deed by
the fanatical descendants of the Pueblo
Indians of New Mexico has come to
light. 1t is nothing less than the drag
ging to death of an old wOman'near Las
Vegas, who was charged with being a
witch who had cast spell over a
young girl. The girls mother told
her son and friend that the girl would
never get well as long as the witch
lived and that they must kill her. The
son and his friend roQed the witch on a
lonely road and dragged her to death
This is a common occurrence among
the ignorant classes of New Mexico
who are fsnatically superstitious.
These people are just as fanatlcal as
the Sioux or Comanche Indians, who
are the governments charge, and they
should be kept on q reservation the
same as other Indians.

COLUSA IS QUIET
Would-Be Lynchers Conclude They
Won't Do It

COLUSA, August 27.-In response to
the appeal of Sheriff JONES' who was
warned that an attempt would be made
to lynch Pedro Vanity, who attempted
to murder Miss Florine Perier twenty
men of Company D, N. G. c., of Marys-
VILE. arrived here this morning at 3
o'clock Company B also reported to
the Sheriff but there was no occasion
for their services, everything being
quiet and the excitement having appar-
emily died out.
No talk of lynching Pedro Vanity, who
committed a murderous assault on Miss
Poirier three days ago, has been heard
since the militiamen reported a the jail
last evening. The town is quiet tonight
and there is no apparent indication OF
trouble. Two companies of the National
guard, B of Colusa and D of Marys-
vile, are under arms at the Jail and
subject to the orders of Sheriff Jones.
Company d will probably return to
Marysville tomorrow, but the cheriff
says he will keep Company on hand
until he is satisfied that all danger of "A
mob attack on the Jail has passed
Miss Poirier is now resting easily, and
the attempts at .lynching her assailant
will not likely be renewed unless the
girl takes decided turn for the worse.
Meanwhile Vanity, under special guards
in the Jail, is gradually growing weaker.
1t is unlikely that he will live long
enough to receive legal punishment for
his crime.

HAVANA, Aug. 27.-The Biario de Ia
Mamma calls the mission of Stewart L.
Woodford, United States minister to
Spain, a failure, and says: Germany
and France are entirely hostile. to Amer
lean Intervention in Cuban matters. Eng
land, skilled like an old diplomat, is
evasive to Woodford's insinuation, and
he expressed no opinion regarding Cuba.
But Great Britain is fortifying Cuba and
preparing against possible trouble with
the United States owing to American jim
goism."
The Diario de la Marina then makes
fun of the American tourist minister
visiting in Europe and sounding foreign
cabinets and meeting with failure so far
as the Cuban policy is concerned"

SAGASTA IS SILLY
MADRID, August 27.-Gen. Azcar-
raga, Spanish Premier, at Cabinet
council over which he presided last
night, declared that the governments
would follow in the footsteps of the Pre-
mier Senior Canovas del Castillo.
Gen. Azcarraga announced that the
government had full confidence in Cap
tain General Weyler's political and mill
itary conduct of affairs in Cuba. Per-
sonally the Premier was aware that the
insurrection in Cuba is approaching an
end and if the United States made any
demonstration, which he hoped would
not be the case, Spain would do her duty.
The Premier closed his speech by ap-
pealing for the good will of all Conser-
vatives.
Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader, has
made a fresh declaration on the political
situation. He says it is daily growing
worse in Cuba and continues serious in
the Philippine islands. Senior Sagasta
is ready to apply autonomy to Cuba and
expresses the belief that the Liberals
will assume power earlier than expected.
Sagasta asserts that the Carlists are al
ready prepared for rising and only
waiting false step on the part Of the
government or favorable opportunity
to take UP arms.

ONE CRAVEN WITNESS
GIVES TESTIMONY WHICH
BRINGS RESULTS
Charles Bartlett Ordered Arrested on
a Charge Of Perjury Preferred
by the Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, August 27.-J. r.
McGuffick, formerly in charge Of the
legal blank printing department of the
H. S. Crocker Company, was the only
witness examined for the defense in the
Angus Craven case this morning, and
his testimony was merely to the effect
that in his opinion, as an expert the
Cooney blanks were not identical
with those exhibited by the plain
tiffs in order to prove that they
were acknowledged until after the
date upon which they purported to
have been made.
Late this afternoon testimony of a
sensational character was given in the
Angus-Craven case by Charles F. M.
Bartlett, who was recalled by the plain
tiff's attorneys for further cross s-exam-
ination. When on the stand formerly he
stated that on the 9th of September,
1894, the day when the pencil deeds are
said to have been ackn owledged by
Notary Cooney, he saw Senator Fair
come out of the Lick house and go into
Cooney's office. Today. however, he
swore he was not sure of the correctness
of this statement The witness ac-
knowledged that he had once obtained
$50 from Attorney Ruefs brother-in-l law
on note which Ruef himself endorsed
Further, he had been promised $4,000 If
Mrs Craven won in the pending litiga-
ton.
In addition to all this Bartlett ac-
knowledged that it was on the occasion
that he applied to Ruef to help him get
the $50 that he first mentioned what he
was able to testify to. This evening
Bartlett was ordered under arrest on a
charge of perjury by Superior Judge
Slack, who is presiding over the case.
Just before the adjournment of court
Delmas spoke of a paper that had been
handed to him and to which his sigma
ture had been forged. At recess he had
seen the same paper handed to juror.
1t purported to be an agreement between
Delmas and James Walter Cough ,and
was drawn in clumsy imitation of legal
style. BY it Delmas had pledged some
personal papers as security for money
borrowed of Cough. The writing bore
no resemblance to that of Delmas, who
read it to the court William Goettert
was called and testified regarding the
paper that he had lent livery stable
keeper named Moulder $50. When Goet-
tert pressed his claim Moulder told him
that he had lent money to Cough and
that Delmas owed Cough.
Goettert said Moulder told him that
Mrs. Craven was sure to win, as all the
jurors were pledged to her. He also said
that Moulder had in his poss ession ac-
knowledged stipulations from each juror
that they would decide in Mrs. Craven s
favor and a will signed by James G
Fair and carefully kept in a glass case
Goettert, Moulder, Olsen and James
Walter Cough have been ordered to ap-
pear before Judge Slack on Monday at
10 o'clock.

MORRIS MAIL
Of Kind the Government Makes OBJ
lection to

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-Sigmund
Morris, who is wanted in Brooklyn, N.
Y, for having violated the postal laws
in connection with an alleged directory
s'windle, is under arrest here. He was
taken before Commissioner Heacock to-
day and arraigned upon a complaint
sworn to by Postal Inspector Erwin of
this city, upon information furnished by
the authorities in Brooklyn, the specific
charge being that of having used the
mails for fraudulent purposes, A date
was set for his examination, bail being
required meanwhile in the sum of $250C,
but it is believed that Morris will waive
examination and ask that he be sent
east for trial imme mediately. Morris was
for many years newspaper reporter in
Los Angeles, at which place his >rother
Hugo was recently arrested upon SIM
liar charge and taken east for trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-On the
very eve Of the arrival of the delegates

been received from headquarters at Chi
cago which announces that the national
committe has abandoned it's plans, on ac-
count Of its failure to secure reduced

convention will be held in Chicago. As
all arrangements for the reception OF del
egates has been effected and large ex-
pense incurred the local committees were
considerably chagrined at such per-
emtory message as that which they re-
ceived and the action of the national
committee is generally regarded in an
unfavorable light.
A FIGHT FOLLOWS
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-The Phil
adelphia branch of the National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers today received
word that the annual convention of the
national body, which was to have been
held from September to II in San Fran
cisco, had been changed to Chicago be-
cause of the former city's inability to
handle it. President Parsons of New
York, it was stated, has ordered meet
ing of the local branches throughout the
country to ratify the change. The local
carriers tonight wired Secretary Treyber
of San Francisco and received his reply
that the change was made without the
consent of the San Francisco men, and
they are prepared and anxious to have
the convention.
Prominent members of the local branch
here state they will go to San francisco
and will not recognize any ton
in Chicago unless a meeting of the dele
gates to the national convention of last
year is called and so decided.

upon Attorney-General Fitzgerald to
consult him as to the action he should
take in the case of Benjamin Hill, the
Oakland wife murderer, for the latter
official, upon learning that Hills at
torneys had applied to Judge Dehaven
in chambers for writ of habeas corpus,
expressed the opinion that the proceed
ings were irregular and that therefore
he saw no legal reason why the execu-
tion should be deferred. Hills attor-
neys, upon being informed of this opn-
ion lost no time in applying to Judge
Dehaven in open court for the writ,
which was denied, and motion for an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States was promptly filed ard
allowed. Execution will, therefore, be
delayed until that body meets in October
