" 1T is said that strong fight is being
put ND in the tenth district against Mr..
Hawley. 1t is our belief that the tenth
district could not afford to defeat Mr..
Hawley, Tor he Is too valuable man
to have in congress. Mr.. Hawley has
| in his short term in the national legis-
lature made host of friends among
memters of every political party. Mr..
Hawley's metho DDS of work were OF such
| q sort as TO command the respect OF
every one. He is a business man
| through and through. Mr.. Hawley
hires at his own expense num-
Der of clerks, and he undertakes
to carry on his great cores
pondence just as faithfully as he
does his own private business. He has
an office in one of the large Office
blocks in Washington, ard there at
certain hours he is always ready to
transact the business pertaining to bis
office. He is man who has left
his impress on everything he has
t.ken up. His work on the naval af-
fairs committee before and duriog the
war was notable. Col. Roosevelt, In
conversation with the writer, just be
fore the war began, paid Mr.. Hawley
a very high compliment. "Hawley is
fine fellow" said he, earnestly; "he
does honor to youc state. L wish we
thsd more men here like him." MIR
Roosevelt was thrown into close con
tact with Mr.. Hawley during the
period when the navy was being pre-
pared for war.

In proportion to its size, Ell Paso has
an appalling number of disappear
ances, entertainments, and mysteries
in the course of a year. We can lay
the greater part of them to our dis
proportionately large floating popula-
ton, but the fact remains that we as a
city are doing our very best to afford
every possible means to young men to

many things to answer for, apathy on

his injuries are slight. The accident

charges, or about Is per cent. on New
York Central stock.
The report that the Vanderbilt lines
east of Chicago might be combined
with the Chicago & Northwestern and
the Union Pacific is by no means new
one and seems to be not improbable,
although the joining of forces is not
likely to be effected for good Wnlle
to come. The consolidation Of the New
York Central and Lake Shore roads,
it is understood, has shown results SO
satisfactory to the interests which
brought it about that they are planning
to extend the plan to the Michigan
Central and other lines of the Wander
bilt system. While the Chicago 4
Northwestern is not actually part OF
the system the Vanderbilts virtually
control it and their holdings of Union
Pacific securities are so extensive that
they are influential in the direction OF
that railroad system. By increasing
their investments in Union Pacific to
an extent necessary to give them con-
troll they would have a fine route to the
far west by the New York Central and
the West Shore to Buffalo, by the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, and the
Michigan Central thence to Chicago,
from Chicago to Omaha by the Chicago
& Northwestern and from Omaha west
ward by the Union Pacific. The Union
Pacific is still regarded as most likely
to be the purchaser of the Chicago &
Alton. If it should take over that road
it's own subsequent absorption by the
Vanderbilt system would give the lat
ter an alternative route between Chi
cago and the far west, as the Alton ex-
tends from Chicago to Kansas City, the
terminus of the Kansas City branch of
of the Union Pacific, which joins the
main line at Cheyenne.

MASON BROTHERS BANKRUPT.
Well known Chicago Lawyers in
Financial Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-Henry B. and
Henry E. Mason, surviving members OF
the law firm of Mason Brothers, fled
in the United States court yesterday a
petition in voluntary bankruptcy They
scheduled their liabilities at over $780,
900. The assets, which consist chiefly
of real estate heavily encumbered, are
placed at 100000. Edward c. Mason,
the we'll known lawyer, who died Sun
day, was one of the partners in the
firm. The petition is said to have
been precipitated by reason of the fact
that most of the debts, which are for
money borrowed to carry on real es-
tate deals, fall due the same time. The
principal unsecured claims are: Ma
tional City bank of Ottawa, $5,000
Loan & Trust company. So
900; Joliet National bank, $4,000 A
score of other creditors, whose claims
ire not known, are named.
