To Drain the Mexico Valley.

An important company has been in
corporated in the City of Mexico wi tt
million dollars capital, the larger
part of the shares being taken by
Pearson s. Son, English contractors,
having in hand the drainage of the
valley of Mexico and the port works
at Vera Cruz. with few Mexican
shareholders The new company will
be known as the Mexican Land, Navi-
cation and Railroad company.
The first object Of the company is to
build raj way from some suita BILE
point on the National Tehuantepec
road to a desirable point in the state
of Vera Cruz. The government gives
a subsidy of over eight thousand acres
of public lands per kilometre Of rail-
way constructed On some four tn us
AID acres of land so 'quired, til com
pany will settle European aud other
Among other plans of the company
is to acquire railways 10 southern part
of Vera Cruz and also the build ny of
new mes. Part o. the main railway
line his already been located and con-
struction vii begin within TWO months.

The Mexican boundary commission
has made its report TO Pre- sident Me-
Kin ey ard We may hope therefore that
there will in the future be no more d 8
putes on the subject. The RIO Grande
has a well known and uncomfortaoIe
trick Of switching a ranch or two from
one country to another without the
consent Of the owners of said ranches
and nearly all of the disputes in the
past have arisen from these freaks OF
the Rio Bravo. While there is no
dagger of serious trouble between the
two governments as to the internatiOn-
al boundary line, there is always dan g.
er of some friction between individ
uals over these matters and it is well
that all possible provision should be
made against dispute.
The Mexican border, once notorious
for its outlaw element of population
and numerous disturbances, is now as
peaceful a country as any other part of
Texas. With its characteristic vigor
in the pursuit of criminals the Mexican
government has made it very Unhealthy
on the south side Of the river. Depriv-
ed of this refuge the outlaws have
stood little show with the fear lie s.
rough riders representing the law of
the United States and have either fled
the country, curbed their natural ten
ana become iledceah'G citizens
Or have ''died or their wounds" lfthe
truth be told the latter cause is the one
to which most credit must be given for
the pastoral peace which now hOvers
over the fertile valley of the American
Congo.
The Mexican and United States au-
thOritie5 have arrived at a perfect uu-
derstanding in the matter of hunting
the criminal element. This side of the
river IS actively patro' led by marshals
aud sOldiery and they are allowed to
cross the river in pursuit of their
game, thus rendering escape impos-
sible. Our courts have also decreed
that after dealing with the outlaw &C
o0rding to his crimes we shall turn
him over to Mexico. even though he
claims to be revOlutionist. Should
the fugitive evade' our officers and
cross to the other side his prospects
are not as good as if lie bad remained
on Americal soil, for the Mexican au-
thOrilies make short work of those
bold buccaneers of the raging river
against whose names stand indict-
mentS for murder, arson and rape"
A great change has taken place in the
RIO Graude Valley in recent years and
the completion of the work of the
boundary commission will serve to
call attention to it.-San Antonio Elk

DR.. Carl Lumh ,ltZ.

This dist nguished scientist who has
been in Ell Pdso several times in the
| course of his travels through Mexico,
| left New York in May, 1894, gong to
the City of Mexico, where he saw
Pres dent Diaz and obtained proper
| credentials He then started on a
three years journey on horse and mule
back, visiting the most inaccessible
and lie asst known of the tribes. From
Chihuahua he went westward into the
la d of the cave dwellers, and there
followed the Sierra Madre Del Norte to
the end. He frequently had to face
danger and constantly endured hard
ships. DR.. Lumholtz says in an inter-
view:
My principal object was to study
the history of the aboriginal stock of
Mexico. Now is the time for such
study, for soon there will be no mater
ial. The study of the people impress
ses one with the fact that human
thoughts run in the same channels.
Man is man everywhere. Even the
Australians, the lowest Of the races of
men, who can't count above three, have
certain similar characteristics Away 5
to be recognized. These Mexican
tribes us a rule, have been advancing
in intelligence, nut in some directions
there has been a degeneration. Take,
for instance, the Tarasco Indians.
They have had arts of a
high nature that have been lost. The
Spanish conquest, with misunder-
standing by the conquerors of the
aboriginal peoples and their motives,
and the religions opposition to tho
primitive idolasry, is responsible for
this in many cases. These Tarascos
could temper copper so that it would
receive a hard, sharp edge. Their
paintings and carvings were artistic
and their pottery was most excellent
in design and construction. But all
this has gone from them, for their
work was all in religious direction,
and therefore met opposition on the
part of the Spaniards.
There is one thing remarka bic
about the idols of these people-they
are all nude. The ancient ones found
"a excavations are we'll formed. show
ing appreoiative knowledge of human
form and great ss i'll. Then the cary

'Throu h work of the missionaries,
these people are nearly all nominally
Roman CaUhol'cS, but only nominallv.
They ever give up their original re-
ligious faith, though they willingly
accept the new. They are glad to ac-
cept new saints, who become gods to
them, with out casting out any of their
old deitjes. Tney think the more
gods the better, for they elieve tn ,ir
chan"ca of prayers being answered are
increased. Their ancient temples
show a highe" civilization than the
present, for architecture is lost at
among them

EASTERN TRUCK SHIPMENTS

The Frost Did Not Touch the Truck On
the Banks Of the Rivers, and River
Bank Land is Now Twenty-Five Per
Cent Higher.
Newbern, y. c., April 29.-(SpeciaD--
Truck is now going away from this vicin-
ity daily for Northern markets in large
quantities Special truck trains have
been put on and the steamer Newbern
has been added to the transportation Of
z. c. D. and o. D. lines
Monday started in with heavy ship
ment and they have been increased daily.
Yesterday was the biggest day Of the sea-
son so far. but will no doubt be out-class-
cd ia few days. The A. Il n G.. railroad
ran two sections Of truck trains yesterday
of eleven cars to the section, and in q
distance of fifty-nine miles the two sec
tions pulled into GoldsborO twenty two
loaded cars, where they were released and
taken over another road, ''in hurry" to
Northern markets. About 5000 packages
were handled by this road during the
day.
The steamer Neuse, which is one of the
largest boats plying the North Carolina
waters. backed out of her dock in the
afternoon with truck crates packed in
every safe place ON board. These ship
ments were principally peas, cabbage and
turnips Strawberries ana asparagus
were also noticeable. Notwithstanding
these heavy shipments, teams were seen
unloading truck for to-days trains and
steamers.
1t is impossible 10 ascertain the accu-
rate number of packages that leave this
port daily, as the routes decline to give
the number; strong competition between
steamboat and railroad lines is the cause
Of this.

truckers. were the biggest Contributors
to the freights of yesterday, and to-day
they axpect to make still larger SHIP
mepts These men are among the truck
ers in this section that the frosts OF last
week didn't touch, and as the prospects
are now. it looks as if the "Oaks Farm
of which they are the proprietors, Will
again be a subject of comment over the
country. regarding big stakes made on
truck.
This section is full of representative
Northern concerns, soliciting truck ship
ments. and Newbern is their headquar-
ters. They say they think there is more
truck shipped from this county than any
other in the Union, and that this year
there will be decidedly more.
The farmers on and near the banks Of
the rivers Neuse and Trent now value
their lands twenty-five per cent higher
over those that were visited by the recent
frosts.
The farmers near these rivers were
lucky ones during the cold weather of
last week, when the frost retarded most
of the Irish potato crop. and cut the
bean crop off about half. During the
cold weather the wind prevailed high
from points of northeast to east, and
this wind blowing across the field from
the rivers killed the frost in the direction
of these farms close to the wide scope
OF water.
1t is strange, but potatoes back
through the country were cut off to the
ground and the bean crop hurt consider
ably. while the potato and bean crops
around this city were not hurt at all,
and to-day all they need is rain, and that
is needed badly, too.
At this writing the markets are con-
sidered fair. with chances Of improve
ment.

A JAPANESE WAR CLOUD
TRYING TO INVOLVE UNCLE SAM
iNTHE HAWAIIAN TANGLe.
Japan Seemingly BIames United States
For Encouragement Against Wa
waits Landing immigrants.

San Francisco, CAL, April 29.-Accord-
ing to advices by steamer this morning,
the japanese government is aroused over
the refusal of the Hawaiian government
to permit ShinshOu Marou immigrants
to land there and has ordered warShips
to Honolulu to enforce what the Japanese
immigrants consider their rights. The
foreign office instructed HiOgo Kencho,
at Kobe. on the 9th instant. to stop de-
parture of immigrants for the island at
once.
Grave complications have arisen ac-
cording to Japan official newspapers,
over the action of the United States gov
ernmeut in sending the Philadelphia to
Honolulu. Japanese official organs
claim the cruiser has been sent as Il me-
mace to the japanese government. and
is significant, in that it foretells anneXa-
ton of the islands to the United States.
japanese official newspapers are full of
war talk. The Chowc states that tele-
gram had been received 10y the japanese
authorities to the effect that England
has sent an intima ton to the United
States government that she objects to the
inended annexation by the latter of the
Hawaiian republic The SekainO Nifon
says that series of Geographic com
munlcatl0nS are Ut present IaSSlilS DE-
tween the United States legation at To
kio. and the United States government,
and is of the opinion that they relate to
the refusal CT the Hawaiian government
to permit japanese immigrants to land.
NO FEAR OF COMPLICATIONS.
Washington, April 29.-The officials of
the japanese legation in this city ex-
press themselves in positive terms as hav-
ing no fear of international complications
between Japan and Hawaii, or the Uni
ted States growing out of the differences
between the first two countries on the i'm
migration question. They belittle the
possibility Of war over complications that
may arise and attribute such talk to the
lingo newspapers which are disposed,
they say to make great ado over mat
tiers that can be readily adjusted by di-
plomacy Several weeks ago the lega-
ton received information that the Japan
csc cruiser Maniwa had been ordered to
Honolulu and probably is there by this
time. The object of having a war vessel
at Honolulu, it is asserted, is not sinister
one but is simply an exercise by the
japanese government of the right claim
ed and enjoyed by other countries of hav-
ing naval representation in the waters Of
countries where her citizens are located
so that in the event of the necessity ann
pie protection may be afforded.
