Readers of the Journal are pretty
familiar with the story of Foxcroft's
defaulting town treasurer, who took
his own life, and also with the test case.
Hartwell Lovejoy VS.. inhabitants OF
FoAcroft which was argued before the
court, Thursday. The defense in this
case, TO the effect that the town is not
holden. was based on these two
grounds:
First that Elias J. Hale. as treasurer.
had no authority to borrow money
without the express authority or per-
mission of the town in it's corporate
capacity. and that any negotiable pa
per issued by him as such treasurer is
subject to all equitable defenses.
Second. that the note is barred by the
statute of limitations. unless the pay
ment and endorsement of interest or
the note by Hale is binding upon the
town and is a renewal of the note al
the date of the endorsement of interest.
That Hale had no right to make a pay
ment of interest OH the note without
authority from the town, and thereby
extend the time in which an action
could be brought upon it. The de
PENDANTS further claim that there is no
evidence in the case showing that any
money was ever raised and assessed tic

when the first note was taken up in

SILVER ISSUE In ENGLAND
Subject Seriously Considered at a
Largely Attended Meeting of the
British Cabinet Today.
OPPOSITION TO SILVER VERY STRONG
Alleged That the Indian Authorities
Are Adverse to Opening Their
Mints to the White Metal
and Will Prevail.

London, Oct. 16.--The British cabinet
this morning held it's first autumn meet.
ing at the foreign Office. The premier,
Lord Salisbury, presided, and all the
ministers, except Lord James, chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, Viscount
Cross, lord of the Priby Seal, and Mr..
Walter Long, president of the board of
agriculture, were in attendance. The
meeting lasted two hours. 1t is under
stood that the question of re-opening the
Indian mlnts for coinage of silver was
not decided, but the matter was discussed
and will shortly form the subject of
further communications between the
chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, and the 1lted States none
tarV commission.
In spite of the statement that the ques.
of re-opening the Indian mints for the
coinage of silver will form the subie of
further communications between the
chancellor of the exchequer and the
United Safes monetary commission, it is
believed that the British government has
reached decision not to enter into
An international monetary conference.
Farther meetings with the American
commissioners will be held simply be-
cause they were previously arranged, as
cabled last week. 1t is regarded as Ger
tain that the Indian mints Will not be re-
opened at the present or until the India
authorities are fully prepared. Though
the decision rests with Downing street,
1t Ia certain that the views of Simla will
prevail, and it is known that the Indian
authorities oppose the step.

DOOMED TO DIE.
Fail Text of the Opinion Of the Terri
t0riai Supreme Court COndemning
Jose Chaves y Chaves to Hang.

In the matter of the territory of New
Mexico, appellee, VS.. Jose Chaves Cha
yes, appellant, convicted of murder in the
first degree, Judge Bantz handed down
the opinion of the Territorial Supreme
court affirming the judgment of the court
below in the following words:
This cause was before this court on
former appeal at last term and was then
reversed and remanded as Pac. 1lO7);
upon new trial the defendant was again
convicted of murder in the irst degree
aud sentenced to death, and the cause ia
again brought here on appeal. Fifty six
errors are assigned by the defendant re-
lating to things done during the progress
of the trial. We cannot, however, pass
upon these alleged errors as there is no
motion for new trial in the bill of ex-
ceptons.
"It is fundamental rule that such er-
rors must be brought to the attention of
the court below by motion for new
trial, an exception must be saved to the
overriding of that motion, and the mo-
tion must be made matter of record by q
bill of exception. Territory vs. Padilla
IS Pac. l120. There is no error in the
record proper. For these reasons the
judgment must be affirmed"
Associate Justices Collier, Laughlin
and Hamilton concurred in the foregoing.
Whereupon the condemned man was
formally sentenced to be hanged by the
sheriff of San Miguel on October 30. be-
tween the hours of O'Clock in the morn
~'~lont in the afternoon.

TOUR OF INVESTIGATION.
Industrial Commissioner Davis In the
Territory Gathering Data Concern
ing Beet sugar Industry.

Mr.. James A. Davis, industrial commits
sioner of tine Santa Fe road, accompanied
by his wife and party of friends, spent
the day in the city, coming in last night
in private car.
Mr.. Davis is In New Mexico for the pur-
pose of Investigating the beet sugar in.
dustry, and is very enthusiastic over the
results of the past seasons experiments
throughout the territory. Mr.. Davis
stated to representative of the New
MEXICAN that up to the present time he
had been skeptical as to the adaptabiity
of conditions at Santa Fe for the culture
of beets he thought the altitude was too
great, and feared that the season would
not be sufficiently long to permit the
maturing of the beets, but what he had seen
since coming to town had convinced him
that there is no other locality in the
southwest where better and richer beets
can be raised than in the vicinity of this
city. at an elevation of 1000 feet. In
speaking of the beet sugar industry, Mr..
Davis said:
81 look upon the raising of sugar beets
and the manufacture of sugar therefrom,
as the redemption of New Mexico, Ari
zona and southern California The eli
matte and soil conditions in the section
OF country named are almost perfect, far
ahead of any other part of the United
States, and the day is not far distant
when thousands and thousands of acres
of land in New Mexico will be devoted to
the growing of beets."
Mr.. Davis was driven over the city, out
to the Water company's farm, and up to
the reservoir by Captain Day, and was
shown the different beet patches that are
scattered about town.
Mr.. Davis party leaves for the east to-
night.
