from the Washinoton Evensno Star.

From the Washington sEvcnsng star.
There are plenty of women
in Oregon now" observed a
prominent Oregon politician,
who is here to see that the
State is not forgotten in the
matter of patronage, "but it is
within the memory of many of
us when women were very
scarce there. We gave it out
that we wanted them for school
teachers and the like, and en-
couraged them to come out
there, but the truth is the men
wanted them for wives. | re-
member once we sent young
man to Massachusetts, where
he was well acquainted, with
orders to collect 100 young
women and escort them back
to Oregon. We guaranteed
every one of them one years
employment. The active man
in the matter was a fine-looking
young man, who afterwards
served two terms in Congress
from our State. He spent two
months in selecting the party
and started West with them.
On the trip out he courted one
of the school teachers on his
own hook and actually got her
consent to marriage on the
arrival of the train at Portland.
The boys howled considerably
about it, claiming that he had
treated them unfairly, in hav-
ing first choice, but there was a
lot of fine, manageable materi-
al left. Some of those women
are to-day the leading ladies of
the society of the State. More
than three-fourths of the hun
dred were married inside of
three years, and many in less
than one year. A few of the
lot, however, are teaching
school there to-day, not that
they did not have any offers,
but because they would not
accept any of the fellows who
offered themselves. Now that
Senator Mitchell has about
given up his contest to return
as Senator, he will likely be
succeeded by a gentlam who
married one of the party of
school teachers to which [ re-
fer. He will bring his wife
here with him, and your Wash
ington folks can see for them
selves the kind of ladies we
had out there for school teach
ers. They can't be surpassed
even if equalled anywhere. |

UNEXPECTED BULL FIGHT.
From the Denuer Republican.

An exciting bull fight took
place on the Rio Grande Rail
road, close to the little town of
Granite, about two o'clock last
Friday morning. Perhaps no
where and at no time in the
history of sport did another
bull fight occur under such pc
culiar conditions and among
such extraordinary surround
ings. It was an incident of
a cattle train wreck, which de-
layed for a period of over seven
hours the Leadville passenger
train that ought to have reach
ed Denver early Friday morn
ing. Particulars of the affair
were related here yesterday by
S. H. Ably.
At little before midnight
Thursday a train of fifteen cars,
loaded with cattle, left Lead
vile for Dinner. Less than an
hour later the regular passen-
ger train pulled out in it's wake.
On board the Pullman of the
latter train were Adjutant-Gen-
eral Moses, Artilleryman Ably,
and other officers and members
of the Colorado National Guard.
Soon after the second train
started, all it's Pullman passen-
gers retired to their berths, and
most of them were sleeping
soundly before Granite, fifteen
miles this side of Leadville,
was reached. Nearing Granite
the locomotive of the passen-
ger train was only short dis
lance behind the rear car of the
cattle train. 1t was putting
along at a subdued rate of
speed, when suddenly the en-
gineer heard a tremendous
humping and tearing over the
rails in front of him. He look
ed out of his cab, and behold!
the cattle cars for the entire
length of the train were teles-
coping into one another, flying
off the track or describing para
bolas through the atmosphere
above the rails.
A wheel on one of the for
ward cars had become broken,
throwing the whole train awry,
splitting live cattle in every di-
rection, and crushing a number
of animals within the cars.
Brakes were applied at once
on the passenger train, and it
came to stop, almost in the
midst of the bovine debris.
There followed such a racket
of believing, cracking of horns,
and stamping of hoofs, that
everybody on board of the pas
senger train was awake on the
instant. The din made most
of the passengers think their
train had by some misadven-
ture come into collision with a
corral, or an abbatoir in active
operation. Timid ones chung
to their berths in fear and
trembling, while their drawer
companions rushed to the plat
forms, Drawing the frosty morn
ing air in robe de mutt in order
to find out what strange thing
had befal1en them.
It was clear moonlight out
side, and the spectacle that
greeted the blinking eyes of
those who found places on the
car platforms was certainly a
remarkable one. Cattle were

Maxlmiisu, is to revisit Mexico. Count
Kerenhollen, an Austrian nobleman, is
now on a special mission to Mexico, for
the purpose of obtaining permission for
the visit. There are many people in this
country who will wildly recall this i'm
perial episode. 1t occurred during our
own civil war, and the close of that strug
gle was followed by the end of foreign
empire on American soil, never to be re-
established, let us hope, as long as Amer
leans are Americans.
Taking advantage of the disturbed CON
ditions then existing in the United States
Napoleon III made bold move to carry
ont long cherished desire for Mexican
empire under French protection. He
found q pretext for action in the fact that
Mexico owed France very large sum of
money. This he claimed the right to col
leot, and aided in his scheme for govern
ment control by a party in Mexico, made
up principally Of what we call nowadays
Mugwumps, it was agreed that Macmillan,
an Austrian archduke, should take the
throne. He at once issued an edict to the
effect that all insurgents, meaning the
Republican army, should be treated as
bandits.
The rebellion IN the United States hav'
ing ended, the Mexican case was taken
up by Secretary Seward, who intimateo
to Napoleon that it would be "gravely
inconvenient for French troops to remain
longer in Mexico" In compliance will
the request the French troops were with
drawf and the Austrian ruler was left un
supported. All this time Juarez, at tn
head of the Republican government, wa
gathering strength for his party ant
army, and the imperial ruler, deserted b,
Napoleon, soon fell into the hands of hi
enemies. He was found guilty of attempt
I ing to overthrow the liberties of peopl
and executed.

great sheep growing industry of New
Mexico, being one of the most extensive
sheep growers in the southwest and being
very successful one.
From an official standpoint, from bust.

Luna's appointment, in the opinion of
this journal, and of great majority
of the people of New Mexico, would be
one of the best that could be made by
the administration. That his appoint

to all classes of our people, irrespective

will be honored with the appointment by
President Mckinley.

A WILD RUMOR,

The announcement from a Cuban cor
respondent that General Weyler has been
ordered to bring the Cuban revolt to an
end, even at the cost of selling the island
Of Cuba to the insurgents which appear
ed in yesterdays press dispatches, has
all the ear marks of a fairy tale. A very
suspicious phase of the story, is found in
that part which relates that the Spanish
communicative chief, has set out in search
of the insurgent leader, for the purpose
of making proposals looking to perma-
nent peace. The spectacle of General
Weyler on quest of Gomez, with the in.
tention of selling him the island of
Cuba is too funny for serious considera.
ton, and fit only for subject for the
comic weeklies. No doubt the Spanish
government desires to bring the war to
an end. But it does not desire to see
contamination in Cuban independ.
ence, and settlement of this question
upon any other basis is repulsive to the
Oubans. So the war in all probability
will continue until an exhausted treasury,
ruined credit, and the home govern.
ment in open revolt, forces the Spanish
people to sue for peace. As to the result,
there can be no question. Spain will
lose Cuba, absolutely and forever.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

congressman James Wilson of Iowa,
the new secretary of agriculture, is es-
pecially well qualified for the position to
which he has been appointed, his life
having been devoted to the study and
pursuit of agriculture in all of it's phases.
Mr.. Wilson is the only foreign born mem.
Der of Mr.. McKlnley's cabinet. He first
saw the light in Scotland, County of Ayr
shire, August 16, 1885.
In 1851 he came with his parents to
America. The Wilson family settled first
in Connecticut, subseq removing
to Iowa, while yet the subject of this
sketch was in his "teens." Young Will
sons education was Of the comm on school
variety. but reading and self-culture de-
veloped his mind, and at the age of 81 he
was qualified to teach country school.
This vocation he followed successfully
for several years in Buckingham and West
Union counties Iowa. At this time he was
very poor, and it is said that he often went
barefooted, because he could not afford to
wear shoes. Frugal habits and hard work
soon enabled him to lay by snug sum-,
which he invested in farm. natural
inclination toward agricultural pursuits
led him to improve this property and in
due time he took up stock breeding, in
which he became prominent throughout
his adopted state for the excellent results
attained. After serving three terms in
the Iowa legislature he was nominated
and elected to the Forty -fourth congress
in 1874.
At the close of his service in congress
he returned to his Iowa home, and resumed
the pursuits of his vocation. During this
period he found considerable time to
devote to agricultural Investigation along
several lines, the results of which he gave
to numerous publications, becoming we'll
known as contributor to periodical
literature upon subjects in which he was
interested. In recognition of his worth
in his chosen field of endeavor he WAS
made professor of agriculture in the Uni.
versity of Iowa at Ames. Personally Mr..
Wilson ls popular wherever he is known.
He is fluent talker in public and pri-
vate, and makes many friends by his
simple and unaffected manner.

BUSINESS Of OUR OWN.

The New MEXICAN has business OF it's
own to attend to, and policy to pursue.
That policy is to give the news, to defend
the interests of New Mexico, to uphold
the principles and policies of the Repub-
lican party as enunciated by the st. Louis
platform, to attract the attention of east
ern capital and enterprise to the many
advantages for investment in this terri
tory, and to do such other acts and things
as may seem just and proper. In pur-
suing this policy, our best energies are
demanded, and we have neither the time
nor tine inclination for personal bicker.
ing, or discussion of any kind with those
so called newspapers which are persist
emily bidding for notice, by printing
harmless personal filings of spite and ILL
will, which we deem entirely beneath out
notice. We hold that this sort of thing
is not journalism, and we want none OF
it. Please excuse rs, men, we have more
important work on hand-the work OF
making first-class newspaper. Try other
sources. You may succeed in getting
somebody to dignity your silly prattle
with reply. The New MEXICAN can't
do it.
This, of course, is not intended to mean
that the New MEXICAN will fold it's arms
in gentle courtesy when there is rough work
on hand. There are occasions which de-
maud severe measures, abuses which it
were folly to meet with smile. Upon
such occasions this paper will fight, and
fight hard. But for those who bark early
and often, for no earthly reason but to
attract reply, for those who indulge in
vulgar personalities without even the ex-
cuse of question at issue, or the pre-
tense of enmity, for such people we have
no reply.

IT looks now as though the Cretan

Greek forces, has for the present securely
bridged the gulf Greece still adheres to

bat offers co place these troops at the
disposal OF the powers, in bringing Be-

contends that removal of all the Greek
troops, would bring about an immediate
state of riot aud anarchy, which it is her
duty to prevent. The powers can hardly
object to acc spting assistance of this
kind, in their efforts to accomplish a
common end, aud unless there is a hidden
motive in their interference, the prof
fered aid will be welcomed in the spirit
in which it is rendered.

such grants as they should be assessed
