The fusion meeting at Koehler's hall
Tuesday evening was well attended, de-
spite the rain, by an audience that mani
tested deep interest in the issues under
discussion. A number OF republicans
were present, doubtless, to hear live sub
jects discussed by way of an antdote to
the meaningless platitudes they had
listened to from the lips OF John &. Allen
the night before.
The meeting was opened by |. W. Ma
sou, candidate for representative, who,
after briefly reviewing the political situa-
ton, introduced County Attorney w. II.
Abel. Mr.. Abel, who was in the city on
legal business and had not expected to
speak, occupied half hour in contrast
ing the records OF the republican party in
the state and county for eight years with
that of the fusion officials during the past
twenty months. The concluding part OF
his short speech Mr.. Abel devoted to
giving the reasons for the giving out OF
certain slanderous statements concerning
him by Deputy Collector Hood. After
giving Il brief resume OF his management
of his Office, and inviting criticism there
on, he stated that, in the due course Of
his business he had received an account
against Mr.. Hood FOR collection from Sc
attic parties; that the debt grew out of
some operations connected with the reve-
nue. laws in which Mr.. Hood had been
engaged on the Sound that the latter had
refused to pay the bill and, under the in
structions of his client, Mr.. Abel brought
suit and recovered judgment by tie YER
diet of q jury; that for this he was now
being traduced by the party who is at
this time engaged III drawing comlortu-
Bile salary in an Office created for the pro
yention of evasions Of the revenue law.
Hon. G.. Y. Alexander, q NAateom,
Was then introduced as the speaker OF the
evening. The address OF Mr., Alexander,
who is an eloquent, forciblc speaker, was
in marked contrast to the insipid remarks
Of llr. Allen on the previous evening. lie
dealt with the live issues Of the day and
the audience, by frequent, hearty ap-
plausc, attested that they believed that
other people besides the Cubans and
Filpiuocs We're being held, or the ATTEMPT
TO hold them in bondage was being made
by power before whose averico and
greed the cruelty OF Spain, to Il compare
lively small number OF people, sank into
insignilicancc. The futillty of the plea Of
the republican party to be returned to
power, in this county and state, in the
face of its record was left to the good
business sense OF the people. AS has
every fusion speaker who has been in
Aberdeen, Mr.. Alexander made Il good
impression and besides confirming the
fusionsts in their beliefs, gave his rcpub-
/ lcan hearers much food for reflection.

4 Daring burglary.

\ bold burglary was perpetrated at
the Pacific hotel on Saturday night in
which three commercial travellers lost
samples valued at between 800 and $500.
The burglars obtained access to the sam
ple room. where the Trunks of the travel
ers were and carried out three large
trunks belonging to L. q. Samuel, repre-
senting Strauss & Hamburger, Chicago
cigar dealers, Gus Lowengart, with NJ.
Seller & Co, OF Portland, and w. T..
EIisop, agent for Murphy Grant & Co.,
san Francisco dry goods jobbars.
The trunks were broken open on the
tide land near the hotel and the thieves
got away with samples OF cigars, cutlery,
susuenders, gloves, mittens, sacques, neck
ties, etc, to the amount stated above.
Owing to the nature OF the stolen goods
the local authorities have reason to hope
that they will be recovered unless. as is
feared, the crime has been committed by
an organized gang who will quietly ship
the goods to confcderates at a distance.

JudreZ Notes.

Sr. Luis Menico of Guadal ajara is at
Hotel Porfirio Diaz in Juarez.
The fish pond now located on Ell Pa
so street will be moved to Juarez for
the fiesta, and will probably have big
run of Mexican patronage.
Some of the games for the fiesta in
Juarez will be opened Thursday. The
first bull fight will be held Sunday
afternoon and next Monday the festivi-
ties will begin in earnest.
Two prominent ladies of Juarez were
stopped by tho American Inspector of
customs, when coming to Ell Paso yes
terday afternoon. They were duly
searched but nothing dutiable found
on their persons. The ladies were very
indignant, and with good cause, as
they do not enjoy the idea of being
classed with common smugglers.
The gambling games in the base
ment saloon in Juarez make the draw
ing card in that little city especially
in the evening. One Mexican Central
railroad employe was heavy winner
last week at roulette and last night
some Ell Paso sports were playing high
at monte. How the game ended de-
ponent sayeth not, but probably as
usual with the house far ahead.

THE PEACE NOTE
Accepting Our Conditi0


PARIS, Nov. 29.-The Spanish COM
missioners presented a memorandum
setting forth that they were authorized
by their governm ent to reply that
the American propositions are
insdmissable on legal principles
and are not proper COM
promise on legal principles.
On Spanish part all displomatic re-
sources are exhausted and the
Spanish commission is now
asked to accept or reject the
propositions. Spain, inspired by
reasons of patriotism and
humanity, and to avoid the horrors of
war, resigns herself to the power Of
the victor. She adopts the offered
i'd order to conclude trea-
ty of peace"
PARIS. Nov. 29.-Secretary Moore
and Secretary Ojeda, of the American
and Spanish peace commissions, are
engaged today in drawing up a treaty

joining farms on the Christian and
Taney county lines. They had a part
nership fence separating the fields.
A oispute about the ownership of
the feoce made the two families ene-
mics. Sieve Bilyes and Bud Meadows
met a: the fence and quarreled.
Meadows evidently expected trouble
as he had brought his Winchester rifle
with h m. Blyea was alone at first,
but a a short time two sons-in-law by
the name Of Tabor came up, and also
his two sons, armed with shotguns.
Meadows began to remove some
rails from the fence when one of the
young men oponed fire. Meadows ran
for his Winchester, which was close
by, and returned the fire.
When the battle was over the three
Bilyeas lay dead on the field, and
Tabor, a son-in-law, had two bullets In
his body. Meadows escaped without
serious injury. Tabor was brought to
Ozark where the doctors cut one bullet
out of his thigh.
The slayer of the three Bilyeas is the
son of Bob Meadows, who was assas
sinated in the edge of Taney county in
June, 1897. His death grew out of the
bloody Peyton Matthews feud.
Sheriff Walker has gone to the scene
of the battle, but no arrests are yet re-
ported.

A HUNDRED

In One Of Its Most Terrible
Forms, When the

Another Disaster To Its
Awful Record Of
Death.

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The steamer
Portland was wrecked at Truro, Cape
Cod, and all the passengers and Grew
were lost.
1t Ia now stated that there were 81
souls aboard. It is difficult to get the
names of passengers.

AT dark last night thirty.four bodies
had been recovered from the surf by
the life savers at Highland station.
The steamers tonnage mark has
come ashore, marked 2,233 tons. A
large quantity of wreckage marked
Portland is also washing in.
The first body found was picked up
by Gideon Bondley, surf man, who at
once gave the alarm, and q thorough
search WAS then made. The bodies saw
ed are evidently those of passengers.
One body is that of q woman, we'll
dressed.
The latest figures obtainable at the
offices of the steamship company now
show that the illfated vessel carried
10 persons, 81 passengers and 40
men.
Every soul aboard is supposed to
have perished, not one being left to
tell the tale of the disaster. Seafar-
ing men say the vessel must have been
caught In the thick of the gale outside
this harbor, blown to the southwark
far out of her course, finally drifting
on to the sands of Cape Cod.
No one.saw the wreck 30 far as known
and those on board must have been
washed from the hulk and drowned af-
ter terrible suffering from exposure
and fear.
The steamship Office here has not
yet received direct information of the
wreck.

"Charles Blanchard, agent for the

BISMARK'S MEMOIRS
Failed to Create Much of a Stir

BERLIN. Nov. 29.-The memoirs OF
the late Prince Bismsrk were issued
today. The papers were disappointing
to those who expected q
sensation and have evidently
been well penciled. 1t Is also evident
that the author left much to be sup
piled by the editors, who have impress
sed the writings with their own
style. The memoirs contain very few
of Bismarck's characteristic deroga-
tions, but are, however, of vast lite
rary and political interest.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The Right of Way to the Sme1ter
and in JudreZ.

| AS announced in yesterdays HERALD
Messrs. Magi and Lee, agents of
New York syndicate which is desiPous
OF building the electric street railway
have procured from the county COM

smelter to follow the line of the pres
ent county road.
ing of extending the electric line to
Ysleta. They believe that this extern
sion would prove to be paying proper
ty. Beyond the city limits the cars
could easily run twenty five miles per
hour and make the trip to Ysleta
in less than half an hour. It is
believed that this liz would become q
would experience much pleasure by
taking rapid whirl out to the ancient
village of Yslets.
The fact is we'll reeognized.by every
citizen of Ell Psso as well
as by the street car men
that to connect Ell Psso with Jusrez
by an electric line would prove to be
season, when this city is thronged
with tourists, and when the hull fights
and games of all kinds attract thou
sands OF Americana to Juarez each
holiday, an electric system would coin
money.
The men who want to build the rail-
way are fully awake to this fact and
are anxious to obtain concessions for
rights of way along the streets of Jua-
rez. In this, however, they expect to
encounter an obstacle.
1t is reported that since the electric
street railway scheme was first launch
ed by the citizens COMMITTEES
two young men who are supposed to
represent old resident capitalists of FL
Paso have been located in Juarez in an
elegantly furnished o flee. 1t is said
every street in the city suitable for an
electric railway and then freeze out
the holders of the new
El Paso railway franchise unless
bought off at an enormous price.
Messrs. Msgi and Lee are not
alarmed at this alleged
condition of rffairs for they are con-
fident that the Mexican government
will not countenance such a slap in the
face to industrial development in Mex
leo as monopoly of this kind would
be.
There was some fear that the action
taken at the county commissioners
court yesterday in regard to granting
to Mr.. Lee and his associate right of
way from the city limits to the smelter
had mixed things up q bit with the
which the city had granted
TO the citizens cOmittee.
Instead of these two capitalists going
TO the citizens committee and asking
them to make arrangements about ex-
tending the lines out of the city into
The county and getting the right of
way from the commissioners court,
;hey2went to the court themselves and
received the right. and that will pos
'ibly give a chance for q tapgle.
Some of the citizens committee,
talking this morning to the county
udge and others of the commissioners,
we're told that If Mr.. Lee and others
iidn't do the work as promised, then
ider their motion granting them right
If way.
