THE JOHN SEARLES TRIAL.
Secretary Of the American Sugar Re-
fining Company Being Tried on the
same Indictment that Confront
ed President Havemeyer.

Washington, May 28.-The trial Of
John E. Searles, secretary of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, followed
that of President Havemeyer in Judge
Bradley's court today. The indictment
was similar to the one against Have
meyer, except the questions asked OF
Searles we're somewhat different. The
same lawyers who appeared for Have
meyer, had charge of the Searles defense.
Several members of the senate investi-
cation committee and other distinguished
persons we're present.
District Attorney Davis asked that in
the event the trial was not concluded TO-
day, (although he saw no reason why it
should not) it should be adjourned until
Tuesday morning owing to an important
engagement of counsel for the defense,
Judge Bradley agreed to this. None OF
the first IL talesmen we're challenged, but
one was excused. The indifference of de-
fendant's counsel, to the composition OF
the Jury, seemed to indicate confidence
that the case would eventually be taken
out of the hands of the jury, as that of
Havemeyer was.
The opinion ia unanimous about the
court that Judge Bradley will take the
case from the jury, and order an acquittal.
The governmentreste the case against
Searles. The defense moved the jury to
be instructed to bring in verdict of ac-
quittal on three grounds. The argn.
ments then followed.

ANOTHER OPEN SWITCH.
The Atlantic Express Runs Into An
Open switch at GlenwOOd springs.
Colo, Killing An Engineer and
Fireman ana Seriously In
juring Number of
Passengers.

Denver, Colo., May 2S.-A special to
the Times from Glenwood Springs, Colo,
says: An extra freight .aeing west on the
Denver Rio Grande, ran upon the Ca
beza siding this morning, to allow No. 4
passenger, the Atlantic express, to pass.
The switch was left open. The first SEQ
tion of the passenger ran into the open
switch derailing the engine, mail and
baggage cars, and one passenger coach.
Engineer John West, and Fireman Denny
Donahay, were instantly killed. The
passengers were badly shaken up. some
had to be rescued through holes cut in
the coach, aud were bruised and cut, but
it is thought that none we're fatally in
jured.
All the passengers on the wrecked SEQ.
tlon, were brought to Glenwood on the
second section. Those requiring medi.
cal attention are, Mrs. Imogene Browne
of Los Angeles, CAL, head cut and badly
shocked; Miss Porter of Maine, arm
crushed and severe nervous shock; Mrs
s. A. Ayers of Minneapolis, limb crushed
and body bruised the 6.year old son OF
Mrs. Melker of Lincoln, Neb., cash in
side of his head; Mrs. Sarah Barrows
missionary from Moulmein, India, severe
injury to spine and nervous prostration
The blame for the accident seems to rest
with the brakeman of the freight, who
left the switch open. Engineer West
seeing the open switch, blew his whistle, re-
versed his lever and stuck to the engine
But for his prompt action, many more
would be numbered among the dead
The accident occurred at dangerous
point, on the hanks of the river, where g

COCHITI PUBLIC LAND.
The COchiti Land Grant Cut Down to
Less Than $4,000 Acres and the
Mineral District ON the Pub
lie Domain.

Great interest being felt as to boun-
dsries, under the recent decision of the
q. s. supreme court, of the Cochiti land
grant in Bernalillo county, representa-
tive Of the New MEXICAN called on Sur
veyor- General Easley and from that Of
ficial the following facts we're CLEANED:
Under the decision of the court of pri-
vste land claims and the opinion OF the
Supreme court OF the United States, as
nearly as can be ascertained, the Cochiti
land grant, No. 205 on the docket of the
court Of private land claims and claimed
by Joel Parker Whitney Of Boston for
100000 acres, will be about 25M miles
from east to west and one and one-half
miles from south to north, the northern
boundary running about one and one-half
miles north OF the northern boundary of
the Cochiti pueblo.
The .nineralized sections in that vicin-
ity are all without the boundaries OF the
grant, such as the Oolla, Media Dia, Pc
ralta and Pine canons; the Bland town
site is located about four miles north Of
the northern boundary as fixed by both
courts. As nearly as can be ascertained
without an actual survey, the grant, as ID
will be finally confirmed and surveyed,
will contain between $4,000 and 10000
acres, or less than one-third Of the area
claimed.
II Ii expcted that from now on, II being
certain that the Cochiti mining district is
on the public domain, steady and great
deyelo opment Of the vast mineral deposits
| In the district will be the order OF the day
and that tho district will speedily become
prosperous and support several good and
! permanent mining camps.

Messrs. Logan, Van Allen and Lester

The placers are attracting great deal

OUTLOOK FOR STOCKMEN.
An Interview with Hon. w. IL. Jack
OF Silver City, Chairman of the Cat
tie sanitary Com mission and All
Around stock Expert.

Hon. W. H. Jack of Grant county, is in
the city on business connected with his
duties as chairman of the cattle sanitary
commission. Mr.. Jack manages cattle
ranches in Grant and Union counties and
is one of the best posted and most suc-
cessful stockmen in the territory, besides
being first rate fellow all around. In a
conversation with representative of the
NEW MEXICAN, Mr.. Jack stated, that the
ranges throughout New Mexico we're in
the finest possible condition and that
water was plentiful. During the past
eight months an en- nous business has
been done selling New Mexico feeders and
stockers at very remunerative prices.
These cattle have gone nearly all to Kan
sas, where they will be fed for market
With good corn and hay crop in the
state of Kansas this year vast amount
of money will be made by the Kansas
farmers and the feeding ranches. The in
iications for a frst-class corn and hay
crop in that state are excellent. He
estimated the number of cattle on Kansas
feeding ranches at over 100000.
Mr., Jack states that it is almost impos-
sible now to buy any steers in this terri
tory, in western Arizona or northern
Mexico, the ranges having been depleted
of that class of stock. Agood many of
New Mexico's stockmen have made big
money during the past few months and
many who lost heavily few years ago
have recuperated. The increase in cattle
is very satisfactory and could stealing be
stopped, the New Mexico cattle owner
this year would have nothing to wish for.
The legislation in the interest of that
great industry in this territory, passed
during the Thlrty-frst and Thirty second
Legislative assemblies is proving very
beneficial and is helping the cattle owners
very much. The cattle sanitary COM
mission is very vigilant, all stock
shipped out or brought in to the
territory is carefully and thoroughly
inspected and whenever and wherever
possible the commission proseoutes cat
tie thieves and rustlers. The number of
stock cattle and COWS now on the New
Mexico ranges, Mr.. Jack thinks, is smaller
than it has been since 1881. After i'm
parting this information, Mr.. Jack smiled
his genial smile, said he thought this year
the cattemen of New Mexico were Ger.
tainly the salt of the earth and that he
felt at peace with everybody, except the
stock and cattle thieves and rustlers.

derer Of Assistant District Attorney Lee

Coconimo county Jail at Flagstaff at

65 miles northwest of Flagstaff. An In.
dian trailer in advance of Sheriffs Ruff
ner's and Cameron's posse fred upon him,
at which Parker arose drawing gun, and
one Preston, in charge of the post, drew q
bead on him, calling the outlaw to throw
up his hands, which order was obeyed.
He was held until the posse came up and
was thereupon handouffed and conveyed
to the county seat, arriving as above. AS
an intense feeling exists against Parker
at Prescott on account of his killing
Morris it is not likely the prisoner will
be taken there at present.

WASHINGTON NEWS BUDGET
Appointment of a Special Senate Com
mittee Asked for by Tillman, to
Investigate RumOrs of Specu-
latiOn in Sugar and Stocks
by Senators.
FINANCE COMMITTEE UNDER 4 CLOUD
A Statement Made in the Senate to the
Effect That the New Tariff Bill Was
Drawn in Close Telegraphic
Communication with New
York, and in Close Touch
with the Sugar Trust
Magnates.
FINANCE COMMITTEE UNDER 4 CLOUD

Washington, May 28.-Senator Till
man has introduced resolution for the
appointment of special committe of
five senators to inquire into reports of
speculation in sugar and stocks, by sena-
tors, and also as to advance information
by New York speculators, as to the su-
gar schedule of the tariff bill, also to
continue the investigation made in 1894.
The resolution recites that one man is
serving sentence IN jail, and that an
other was yesterday acquitted on tech-
nlcality, and it provides for conducting an
investigation in which all questions shall
be pertinent. Senator Frye in the chair,
promptly referred the resolution to the
committee on contingent expenses. Till
man said the Democratic members of the
finance committee were under cloud, on
account of the sugar schedule IN the tariff
bill of 1894, and that the Republican
members were now under suspicion. One
party was as deep in mud, as the other in
mire.
Senator Pettus demanded that Senator
Tillman should specify his charges, and
that the whole senate should not be sub
ject to his sweeping assertions. Senator
Tillman said the present tariff bill was
made in rooms at the Arlington hotel,
with close connection by telephone and
telegraph with New York, ana in close
touch with the sugar trust magnates.
Tillman closed with the declaration
that the senate should either prove the
correspondents liars, or prove the SEN
ators corrupt, and then turn them out.
Aldrich denied that any person connected
with the sugar trust had anything to do
with making the sugar schedule. No
person except the Republican members
of the committee knew anything about
the sugar schedule, except Senator Jones,
to whom it was shown prior to being re-
ported. He had not bought or sold a
share of sugar stock. At the conclusion
of Aldrich's remarks the tariff bill was
taken up.
