There VIII be No Lack of Money.

Washington, April 7.-Last evening
President Mckinley had long confer
encc with John A. Mccall. of New
York, who assured the president that
the government would be put to no
embarrassment by a lack of money
with which to prosecute war. 1t is
said that Mr.. Mccall told the president
that within As hours he could raise
among the financial institutions OF
New York alone $500, 900, 600, which the
government could have upon its own
terms, and that If popular subscrip-
ton was called for $780, coo, 600 could
he obtained.

y St. Louis physician, who is a con-
frmed old bachelor, has started out to
reform the habit that obtains of dress
ing babies in long clothes. He says that
it is necessary for the proper develop
ment of babies that they should have
plenty of leg room in which to kick.
The St. Louis doctor is no doubt right.
This thing of beginning at the very start
in life to deprive a free American citi-
zen of the right to kick is in violation Of
the principle of republican government,
and should have an end put to it.

just as woman thinks she has demon
slrated her fitness for position in the
front rank of human progress some
thing always seems to interfere with
her calculations. There is, the case. of
the Indiana young woman who eX-
pioded a dynamite cartridge with n
hairpin as an example. If accidents of
this kind can happen, what is woman
TO do in case of war? Does anyone eX-
pect that she will consent to go into
battle without harpins?

Russia has about 100000 men on a
peace footing, ard 2,50OOOO on a war
footing. 1t is supposed that within its
European limits and in defensive war
the Russian army would hold first rank.
The Napoleonic wars make this clear,
but if Russia engages in a conflict with
her far eastern neighbors she will find
jler troops matched by an army that
might prove in many respects superior
to her own

There is a chimney 10 feet high
running up from the separating de-
partment of the assay office on Wall
street, New York. 1t was built in 1854.
Its inner lining of fire brick was found
last fall to be in bad condition. Some
months ago the work of replacing the
lining was begun, and few days ago
it was completed. From the old fire
brick so standard ounces of gold and
$50 standard ounces of silver, together
worth 81 800 were extracted.

after the house adjourns it is taken

the theory that the aborigines came

northwest corner of America. This
study of their modes of life and com

However people may differ from Pres
ident Mckinley on economic or other
political issues, a. concede that he has
maintained hin:se!.s with absolute dig
nifty and manl!ness at every stage of the
threatened disruption of our friendly
relations with Spain; and his last dec
laration made on the subje of war will
be heartily applauded by every patriotic
citizen of the union. He said Rather
my administration should be an ig-
nominious failure than that it should
be responsible for an unholy war"
Such is President McKinley's attitude
before the country and before the
world. lie is seriously threatened with
war without having directly or indi-
rectly given any just cause to provoke
it. He has hewed to the line in the OBJ
scrvance of the neutrality laws, and re-
solved all doubts in their favor, even to
an extent that has been criticised by
many intelligent and fair-minded citi-
zens, but he did it in the interest of
peace. He did it because the issue of
war is of such grave magnitude that he
felt compelled to err, if he erred at ALL
to avert the horrors of war.-Philadel-

IT WAS LOADED
Fatal and Startling Accident at the
Indian School in This City
Yesterday.
WAS KILLED INSTANTLY
A Oomrade Carelessly Handling An Old
Rife Supposed to Be Unloaded, Sent
Its Contents Through the Head of
Juan Baptisto Vigil.

Juan Baptisto Vigil, a Nambe pueblo
boy, aged II, was instantly kill
ed at 4 p. m. yesterday in
his dormitory room at the In
dian school by the accidental discharge
of a gun in the hands of a room mate,
James German, a Navajo boy, aged 10.
The facts as CLEANED are as follows:
A boy named Robert Manning had had
a gun, an old Enfield, muzzle loading
rifle, to shoot at birds and jack rabbits,
and in a careless moment left the weap-
on loaded and lying on a bed at noon in
the room where the accident subse-
quently occurred. But he had taken the
cap off the nipple and thrown it away,
and it was the absence of any cap that
led the other boys to think the rifle was
not loaded. About $3.50 Vigil, German
and one or two other boys came into the
room, and seeing the gun, German pick
ed it up and went through the manual
of arms with it, at the same time snap
ping the hammer a number of times.
There was no explosion, but some time
thereafter, while holding the weapon
carelessly in his hands, German again
pulled the trigger. This time the muz-
zle was pointing directly towards young
Vigil, and a report followed. The charge
of bird shot went straight through the
unfortunate lads head and he fell dead
by the stove, where he had been stand
ing warming himself.
AS soon as the confusion vas over n
the body taken charge of, a messenger
was dispatched to the Nambe pueblo to
acquaint the family with the circum-
stances, and Justice Miguel German
was notified. The justice summoned as
a jury, Messrs. Isaac Harrison, Abe
Gold, A. P. Hogle, Corine Salas, A. p.
Hill and ]. c. Hull. The jury, after
hearing all the evidence in the case, de-
cided that the shooting was accidental
and no arrest was made. There has
been some criticism of the management
of the institution for allowing the boys
to have guns. But a representative or
the school says that the last superin-
tendent of the institution, Colonel Jones,
had made it a practice to allow the boys
the use of a small but miscellaneous
collection of firearms of antiquated pat
tern to shoot birds and such with. 1t
was the intention of the new manage
ment to put a stop to this, and take all
of the firearms away. But there nave
been quite a number of other reforms IN
prospect, and in view of the procllvlty
of Indian boys to get up and travel
when anything happened that did not
just suit them, the proposed changes
have been made at a time, and this
matter of firearms had not yet been tax
en- up. However, there will be no more
firearms allowed around, and no cause
for further apprehension.

TO WORK FOR NEW MEXICO.
Governor Otero Visits Washington for the
Purpose of Pushing Legislation of
Benefit to the Territory,

Before Governor Otero left for Wash
ington last evening, a representative of
the New Mexican called upon him and
asked for a statement of his purpose in
visiting the nations capital. In reply to
the request the governor said:
The principal object of my trip is to
take up the act passed by the last ses-
sion of congress, granting lands to the
territory for the use of the public
schools and territorial educational insti-
t%utions, with the department of the in
terror and the members of congress, for
the purpose of having it amended in a
manner to enable New Mexico to avail
itself of the lands granted. AS the law
now is, almost $780, 900 will be required
to pay the entrance fees in the land Of
fees of the territory, and that the con-
dition of the treasury will not permit. |
am in hopes to be able to secure a rec
concentration from the department, and
a concurrence by the members of con-
gress in the recommendation, whereby
the lands granted may be selected and
entered without cost to the people of the
territory. If this can be done, the COM
mittee composed of the governor, the
solicitor general and the surveyor gen.
eral can organize and proceed with the
work. L look upon this matter as n
of great Importance to New Mexico and
am very anxious to secure some change
in the present law which will remove
the obstacle now before us.
I'm regard to statehood, I shall do
what [ can to secure the introduction
and favorable action upon an enabling
act. 1t seems to me that New Mexico is
entitled to statehood by reason of it's
constantly and rapidly growing popula-
ton, it's wealth in natural resources and
it's possibilities in the way of develop
ment. The results of the last election
show c~onclusively that a majority of the
voters are in accord with the admins
tration on all questions now before the
people. I know that many m~isrepresen-
tations have been made to the senators
and congressman regarding the people
of New Mexico, but | believe that a
plain statement of facts as they exist
will remove the prejudice which has
been created in the minds of eastern
members of congress.
aside from these matters, | have
considerable business to transact with
the departments regarding the terri
tory, which I shall attend to, and, TAX
ing everything into consideration, I feel
that I will be of benefit to the many in
terests of New Mexico by going to
Washington at this time"
Governor Otero has many friends
among the members of congress and in
the departments, is well liked by all who
know him in the east, and his presence
in Washington during the time congress
is in session can only result in helping
along the cause Of statehood, the
amending of the lane grant law and
other matters which are of benefit to
the territory at large.

Question of Mastering Out Perplexing Boys
in LIST Territorial Regiment-All
Vel in Oamn.

Trumpeter Maurice Goldoft, of COM
pany G, lst territorial regiment, United
States volunteers, has written the fol-
lowing letter concerning the mastering
out of the regiment:
Camp Churchman, Albany, Ga, Dec.
s.-The different reports and rumors
originating from suggestions, dreams
and wishes which crowd u ears daily,
continue keeping us uneasy, and Won
dering whether we are going to be mus
tered out, do garrison duty in the Uni
ted States, or are to be sent to one of
the new possessions.
An order was read to our regiment
ten days ago stating that all those not
fit for service, physically or morally,
would be discharged Immediately, and
the remainder would be sent to either
Cuba or the Philippines. So far 81 dis
charges have been granted. These were
mostly for disability, or the help of
whom was needed at home, and a few
for ~dishonorable causes. Yesterday an
order was issued for our regiment to be
in readiness for moving in a very short
time. Now we have learned that all
the troops stationed in the south will be
mustered out.
Were it not for some of the commits
stoned officers VIC would have been mus
tered out long ago. When it was pub
lished that all the regiments in camp in
the south were to be mustered out, these
officers tried very hard to have us at
tached to the 9TH army corps, under
command of General Lee, so that we
would be sent to Cuba Immediately.
10 prevent that a petition was gotten
up and signed by $50 out of 1000 men
reporting for duty, protesting against
such Il transfer, and sent to Washington.
We have not yet been assigned to
General Lees command. Now, again,
we have heard that all the volunteers
will be discharged without exception,
and that the regular army will be in
creased, so it seems that we will be re-
leased soon.
In the camp, everything is the same as
usual: the weather continues fine and
pleasant and everybody is well. James
Read is back and all the boys are glad
see him,

3 last for Cerrillos to placer mine. On
November 8 he wired from Cerrillos
that he could not find suitable ground in

where for another field. Since then
nothing has been heard from him, and it
is feared that he became i'll and died or
has met with foul play. Harris has been
