IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
Hon. MateO Luian Talks of Returning
Prosperity AS Experienced In
Union County, Where He
Resides.

Hon. Mateo Luian, one of the leading
citizens of Union county, is in the city yes
terday, visiting relatives. Mr.. Lujan is a
native of this city but has lived in Union
and Mora counties for about 20 years; he
is engaged in the sheep business with Mr..
Pedro L. Pinard who is also we'll known
in Santa Fe. The firm of Pinard & Luian
owns about $4,000 head of fine, improved
sheep and runs these sheep on Ute creek
and on the Tequesquite creek in Union
county. The lambing this spring Mr..
Lujan reports as having been first class
and the increase in his section will be
over 80 per cent.
The firm has just finished shearing and
the wool crop is good and above the
average in yield and quality. Prices are
more than double what they were last year
for wool. The firm did not sell its wool
last year, as Grover Cleveland Wilson free
trade prices we're too low and expects to
make good thing out of last and this
years clip right after the passage of the
tariff bill.
Mr.. Lujan states that the ranges in
eastern New Mexico are in very good con-
dition, rains have been plentiful and the
outlook for the fell and winter for the
sheep industry in that section is grand.
The sheepmen are coming to the con-
clusion very fast that their best interests
are with the Republican party, and as
Union county is great sheep raising Sec
tion he expects that at the meet election
the Republicans will carry the county.
Heretofore it has been very close politi-
cally, but from now on he thinks it will
go Republican by good majority. The
difference between S cents per pound for
wool under Democratic administration
and from IL to Is cents per pound under
Republican administration is an argu-
ment in favor of the Republican party
that even the most rabid and most violent
Democrat can understand.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
An Old Woman Living Mt La Cinta
Who was Regarded As witch,
Dragged to Death by Two
Young Rufiians.

fedora Salas, an old woman 80 years
of age, residing near La Cinta on the
Canadian river, was brutallY murdered
recently by Antonio Lucero and Teodoro
Tafoya, two young men aged respectively
1S and % years. It SCENE that Tafoya
had sister who had been ill long time
and who, according to the belief of her
family, could not get we'll owing to the
evil influence of the old woman who was
regarded as witch. By the advice of his
mother young Tafoya accom- panied by
Lucero went to the home of the old wo-
man and besought her to go and cure the
young girl. She consented and was
mounted upon Lucero's horse, the owner
taking a seat behind her. After pro-
ceeding short distance Tafoya threw a
lasso over the old woman and starting
his horse quickly jerked her to the
ground. He then told his companion
Lucero to attach his tasso to her feet,
and then together starting their horses
on the run they dragged the helpless old
woman to death. The boys disappeared
a few days after the crime, but Tafoya's
mother has been arrested and has con-
fessed to the officers that she told the
boys to kill the old woman.

Pittshurg, July 1O.-The decision of
the labor leaders at last nights confer
ence, to send organizers into West Vir-
ginia, and furnish funds to bring out the
miners of that state, practically narrows
the strike down to contest between the
coal operators of West Virginia, and the
labor unions of the country. The cry of
the strikers will be, that with West Vir-
ginia in line, the strike will ultimately be
successful. Special organizers will also
be sent to the mines of the New York &
Cleveland Gas & Goal company, and
every argument used upon the men to in
duoe them to join the movement. Dan
Hanna, of the firm of Hanna Il 90. of
Cleveland, o., declared this morning that
the West Virginia miners would never
quit, and that coal could be secured from
that source as long as the railroads we're
prepared to haul it. Colonel Myron T..
Herrick, receiver, was not prepared to
say this morning, whether the Wheeling
& Lake Erie would haul West Virginia
coal, or not. The price of steam coal has
steadily advanced in many places and is
now 81 above what it was on Thursday.
An alarm is beginning to spread among
men who yesterday viewed the situation
with dsdain. Thousands of working
men are out Of employment, factories
and mills have closed down, and street
car traffic is suspended. Dire disaster
will shortly be the result in Cleveland
and other cities unless a compromise is
effected in few days.

PRESIDENT TO TAKEAH HAND
President Mckinley May Appoint An
Arbitration Commission in An At
tempt to Settle the Coal Min
ers strike.

New York, July 1o.-A special to the
journal and Advertiser from Washington
says: Having ascertained from leading
constitutional lawyers in congress, that
there is no ground on which the federal
government can directly take any part in
the arbitration of the dispute between
the mine workers and the mine owners,
involved at present in a gigantic
struggle, the journal and Advertiser has
laid the question before President
Mckinley personally, and asked him to
name an unofficial body of arbitrators,
whose character and reputation for
fairness and good sense, would be a
sufficient guarantee of just and
acceptable decision. President Mckinley
has been assured that the mine workers
have, in writing, agreed to submit their
case to such board of arbitration, and
accept and obey its decree. The presi-
dent expressed his willingness to take the
matter under immediate consideration,
on condition that the mine owners shall
also agree to submit their case to
arbitrators and abide by the result.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Grand Master Arthur Of the Order Of
Locomotive Engineers Will BE
Asked to Order Engineers Not
to Haul Coal, If This Step Is
Deemed Necessary.

Pittsburg, July 10.-The miners lead
ers will leave nothing undone to aid them
in beginning the great struggle to sue
cessful termination. As last resort,
railroad employees will be brought into
the fight if possible. The heads of rail-
way organization have been appealed to
for assistance, il needed, and it is said
they will render all aid possible. Grand
Master Arthur, chief of the brotherhood
of locomotive engineers, will be asked to
issue orders to engineers not to haul coal
until the miners differences are adjust
ed. This would etfectually tie up all coal
ready for shipment, and what might be
loaded, in the event of failure to bring
all the miners out.

DIPLOMATIC FRICTION.
Strained Relations Said to Exist Be.
tween Our Government and Japan
Concerning the Hawaiian
Controversy.

Chicago, July l0.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
There is serious danger of diplomatic
friction between the United States and
Japan over Hawaii. Although the reply
which Japan has made to Secretary Sher-
mans note concerning the intentions of
this government, has been received at the
state department ii is held in strict Be-
crecy. It is known, however, that the re-
ply is not as amiable as was hoped for.
There are such suspicious movements of
certain Japanese warships, that the ad-
ministration is afraid that Japan is medi-
tating some coup de force in Honolulu.
None need be surprised, If the warships
of the United States and Japan, frown
upon one another in Honolulu, within
two weeks.

Taos, N. M, July 4.-From historical
point of view the town of Taos is place
of much interest to anyone who cares to
follow the conquest of New Mexico,
southern Colorado and Arizona for civil
lization. From Taos many of the expe-
ditions sent out on discoveries, to wage
retaliatory warfare on the Indians, and
for trapping and trading in the entire
southwest started. Here Governor Bent,
the first governor of the territory under
the United States was foully assassinated
in his own home during the revolt of
1847. At the pueblo stands the only
visible reminder of that brief insurrec-
tion against the United States, the ruins
of large adobe church which was burned
at that time. Here also lived Colonel
Ceran st. Vrain, who commanded the ter
ritorial volunteers in the war with the
Apaches and Ute Indians in the early SOS.
Here Kit Carson, the trapper, guide,
pioneer scout and gallant soldier and
fighter made his home in the house, where
am now writing. In front of the
federal building in Santa Fe stands
shaft erected in honor of this renowned
and remarkable man. Last evening after
scaling cedar palisade and wondering
among the graves in the little cemetery
on the outskirts OF the town, stood at
the foot of Kit Carson's last resting
place. At the head stands modest slab
engraved with this inscription:

unusually fine specimens of ore from that
property, running in gold, silver and
lead, and showing solid bodies of copper.
One specimen was sent to the Denver
