AMONG the interviews from real
estate dealers, published In Fridays
HERALD, were two that we're so sharp
ly opposed as to be worthy OF comment.
Mr.. Coles said:
Duriug the past 20 days L have sold
SIS, 900 worth Of property aud loaned
sl5, 900 on real estate security at a low
rate of interest. / have more money
than can loan, but can sell all the
real estate l can get.
Speaking to the sane subject Mr..
Loomis said:
For the first time since L have been
in business l am entirely out of houses,
although have had u hundred calls
during the week. Rents are not like
ly to 90 any higher. The reason there
are not more houses built to be rented
is that money is scarce and the rate of
interest high.
To us IL appears that Mr.. Coles is
nearer to q true conception of the state
of the market. We will not assume to
speak of local conditions in detail, but
IL Is certainly true all over the coun-
try, and nowhere more than in the
southwestern empire, that money is
plentiful, aud Is everywhere seeking
at reasonable rates of re-
turn. IL is not so very long ago that
ten and twelve percent represented
the minimum rate at which moderate

The extension of the Sierra Madre
line into the high mountains, up to the
very heart of the rich pine timber belt,
and within easy reach of the wonder
full mining region of the Sierra Madre,
will mean much to Ell Paso. By this
extension q new source of supply for
pine timbe is opened up. 1t is certain
that this timber will be easily able to
compete In this market with any other
tim Der that comes here. The Mexican
market alone, however, will be all the
mi ls that will be established at CssaS

The pine tract that lies at the end Of
the projected extension is the largest In
northern Mexico, and one of the
argest in the republic. All the Nor
mon settlements will be tapped by the
new line, or brought into easy trsf

IT is worthy of special note that the
bonds of the city of Ell Paso are eager
ly sought after, even before they are
issued. The three new bond issues
that are to be voted upon next month
are Us yet by no means certain of rasi-
ficstion. Nevertheless the mayor has
received an offer from q Chicago house
to take the whole issue, fifty thou
sand dollars, at private sale. The
credit of our city is becoming known
far and wide, and the general effect Of
even this small amount of ADVERTISE &
will be good. What this city needs
now is a commercial club that will
direct line of careful and iudicious
advertising.

THE firmness of the American COM

about the acceptance OF every one OF
the contentious of the Unit d States

sums of money could be obtained, even
on yearly loans. Now it is not at all
difficult to get money at eight per cent
on good security. and one of the largest
real estate dealers in town is seriously
considering placing the interest rate
on ell deferred payments at six per
cent. 1t would be hard 10 imagine any
move the real estate men could make
that would work more directly for the
good of the city and of themselves than
this. II one OF the larger dealers Will
set the pace In this matter, it will not
be long before the normal rate OF In
terest here is reduced TO six per cent
The tendency is undoubtedly that way
and it is only a question whether bust
ness men will reap the benz fit that will
accrue to them by virtue OF taking the
first step, or will be forced to il by cir
cnmst6uces.

BEGINS WITH BERING SEA
And the Joint Commission of Quebec
May Get No Further.

Quebec, Canada, Aug. 30-The Amer
leans of the arbitration commissions
began their labOrs at 9 o'clock yester-
day morning by themselves. The joint
session, which began at IL o'clock, last
ed until nightfan.
AS usual, when the joint meeting
closed, they reported that they had gone
through a day of very hard work, and
that good progress had been made.
Senator Fairbanks, for the Americans,
and Lord Herschell, for the Canadians,
have been selected to give out what
ever there may be for the press, but
so far there has been nothing which
the commission has considered wise to
reveal. Whenever Lord HerScheu is
for crumb of news, he praised the
good nature and friendly attitude OF
the Americans, and whenever Senator
Fairbanks is pressed for information
he praises the friendliness and hospital
ity of the Canadians.
But never one word escapes either as
to what takes place behind the closed
doors. The secretaries and experts VINO
are connected with the commission are
equally close mOuthed. one positive
statement was made, however, by LoTo
Herschen tonight. He said that 1t mao
been decided that after the recess the
conferences would continue at quebec
There had been some talk about trans
ferring the conference to washington
or Ottawa. When the joint com1nls
sion meets it is continuously from II
o'clock until late in the afternoon, ana

argue that last winter. when Sir VIII

to washington to have settlement of
that question, they failed, and that con-

MRS. BOTKlN BOOKED.
Is Now Under Two Formal
Charges of Murder.

Ia Botkin. accused of the murder of
Mrs. John P. Dunning and her sister,
Mrs. Joshua P. Deane, of Dover. Del,
did not appear in Judge Joachimsen's
court to answer to the charge of muir
der nor did she appear in Judge Car
roll Cooks court where the habeas cor
pus proceedings were pending Both
cases were continued by consent, so it
is said, to give parties on both sides
time to prepare their respective cases.
Detective McVey arrived here from
Delaware and went direct to the Office
of Chief of Police Lees. He brought
with him the box and the wrapper con-
tanning the candy which was sent to
Mrs. Dunning at Dover. Detectives
McVey, Gibson, Post, Inspector Irwin
ana Chief Lees had a long consultation
behind closed doors. The Delaware
official is very reticent and refuses to
discuss any phase of the Botkin case.
Mrs. BOtkin was formally booked in
the city prison today. The record
states that COrdelia Botkin, AZ years of
age, native of Missouri, was arrested on
two charges of murder. The arresting
officers are Chief of Police Lees and
Detective E. L. Gibson. The prisoner
was not taken from the seclusion of the
matron'S room to be booked.

It appears that DR.. Duncan. whose case

men so engaged under arrest. Under the
first Specihca ton, that of having partici-
pated in the Dissertation. he was acquitted,
but the court found him guilty on the
second charge.
The finding of the court martial was
that Surgeon Duncan be deprived of his
rank for two months, be confined to the
regimental camp and forfeit half his pay
for the same length of time, and that he
be reprimanded by the commanding gen
eral.
How DR.. Duncan is to be confined to

Not Guilty of Murder

Brandley, charged with the murder Of
Frank Rynard at Matfeld Green, Chase
before Judge Randolph, under habeas
corpus proceedings and was discharged.
The lawyers only asked that he be re
leased on bail, but the judge said there
was not evidence enough to hold him
one minute. The killing of Rynard was
the third or fourth case of mysterious
assassination in Chase county. At the
hearing it was shown that Brandley
was in bed asleep four miles away
when the killing was done. It was also
shown that he and the murdered man
were the best of friends. Rynard was
shot through the head while hanging
up his saddle in the barn after return
ing home from a ride. Many persons
heard the shot, but there is no clue to
the assassin

A svETERAN'' RETURNS.
One of the Sick Volunteers Has Ar
rived in Topeka

Fred c. Duckworth of company B,Twen-
tieth infantry, is the first Topeka soldier
who participated in the battle of Santi-
ago to return. He arrived last night
from Montaulx Point on sick furlough.
Private Duckworth re-enlisted in the
Twentieth infantry on April %, at Fort
Leavenworth. His was one of the regi-
ments that was sent to Santiago and he
landed on June %. the day before the
preliminary SIX rmish of the rough riders.
''Our regiment was ordered forward at
once" said he and we were in the rest of
the lighting around Santiago. So far as
I know, no one from Topeka was hurt. I
escaped without a scratch. but was taken
sick with malarial fever and sent to the
hospital I was able to join the eg-ment
before it was started for home. but was
again taken sick on shipboard, ana after
landing last Tuesday I secured sick
leave.
1T was pretty rough the way some of
our wounded were treated at santiago.
Many of them were left to help them
selves. 1t was on account or bad gen.
erralship in the medical department.. But
all reports of mistreatment Of the sick at
MOntauk Point are untrue. L was in the
hospital there and was never treated bet
ter in my life. Society women from New
York and Philadelphia and Sisters of
Charity are looking after the sick, and
everybody is being we'll cared for.
Private DuckWorth will rejoin his regi-
ment on September a if his health will
permit.
