of inaction that they have had to go
through. And it must have been as
trying to the cabinet. Reforms were
called for, expenditures for public inn
provements had to be made, and the
multifarious new and unexpected
questions, which are always turning
up, had to be met, and yet the cabinet
could not but feel, as some of its
members have expressed themselves,
that it was acting "ad interim"
Under such circumstances il is hard
to formulate distinct policy. The
tendency is to let things slide for a
time, at least. 1t speaks well for the
cabinet that it is pushing improve
ments in the manner it is doing. Ev-
cry part of the Islands is feeling the
benefit of this policy. Not only does
it give employment to those who want
it, but it is establishing improvements
which will be of benefit for years to
come. To have done so much during
the interregrum, as it We're, is very
crpditahle

THE DEATH WIRE.

1t was a terrible tragedy which took
place on King street last night. With
out Il word of warning two human be-
ings, through no fault or carelesSrcss
on their part. were hurled into eter-
nifty, in moment, in a twinkling of
an eye. The probability is that Meth.
er of the unfortunate victims realized
even for any instant that death had
struck, the end was swift, unforeseen,
painless.
In the case of the soldier Tom Han
naa nothing was more natural than for
a man to go up to a fellow creature
and try to render assistance. In the
very act of performing a deed of kind
ness and humanity, death interviewed.
We do not know why this should be
so, we wonder at the ways of Provi-
dence, which are not our ways, but
which we feel and believe are for the
best, though to us they are inscruta-
BILE.
That there should be thorough in
vestigation into the affair, goes with
out saying. Our authorities are sci
dom lax in such matters. 1t is prob
able that it was one of those accidents
which could not be guarded against,
but at the same time there should he
distinct expert evidence upon the
point.

suggestion, however, that a consign-
ment of notes has gone to Manila.

Certain Profit for Investors.

La Luz. N. NJ, March s, 1S9S.-The
completion of the FL Paso & North
eastern railway into the White Oaks
country, distance of about 150 miles,
will center into El Paso the trade of a
country unsurpassed in the United
States for natural resources. This rail-
road is now being constructed at the
rate of one mile per day, Along this
line for about 40 miles are fine grazing
and pasture lands, when the Jarilla
Mountains are encountered. These
mountains are somewhat isolated from
the main range, or Sacramentos-prac
tically foothills, and yet separate and
distinct a vast, composite eruption of
conglomerate mineral. These noun
tains have been neglected, to a great
extent, for want of water facilities, but
they contain great wealth in copper,
iron, gold, silver and turquoise The
railroad people are sinking a series of
wells along it's line, and so far have
found abundance of good water, so that
the mineral in these mountains is now
being opened up and legitimate mining
begun by companies with abundant
means, and who are now accommodating
the various ores to ship to El Paso
for treatment.

JEROME KEOGh RETURNS.
scranton's Pool Expert Offers No Ex-
cuse for His Defeat.

Jerome r. Keogh, the well-known
pool player, returned home Saturday
evening from Boston. where he was de-
feated by w. II. Clearwater of Pitts
burg, in the worlds championship pool
match recently. Keogh does not at
tribute his loss to any outside agency,
but simply believes it a case of ill-luck.
Immediately after the close of the
match, Keogh challenged Clearwater
to another match, and the contest will
take place either in Pittsburg or New
York some time next month. A cause
which may be assigned for his defeat
was the substitution Of composition
balls for ivory ones in the match, which
greatly affected Keogh's playing.

Passing these mountains you see

main ranges OF Sacramento, White and

perfection unequaled anywhere else
In the United States. Greeley, Colo,
has a worldwide (almosO reputation
for growing Irish potatoes. These
mountains are the home of these pota-

and disseminated throughout the world
by the early Jesuit fathers This Sec

is charged with violating the postal
laws, conducting lottery business un-

Investment and Loan company. The
hearing in the case was before COM
missioner Breck, who held Strait un-
der $500 bail.
The case was first discovered by
Postofiice Inspector L. j. McManus, of
Philadelphia. The method of the con-
Germ in transacting business was to sell
what purpOrted to be certificates of
stock in the company. The operations

DEFENDANTS CLAIM.
The chief evidence is the literature
sent out by the company" and its
correspondence with the alleged in
Vestors here and in other parts Of the
state. Although the claim of the de-
fendant concern is that a legitimate
investment business has been conduct
ed throughout the correspondence and

prizes.
\ The arrest of Strait was made in
this city about a week ago. This case
will have to go before the grand Jury

er or not Strait is guilty as far as a

case may be expected. There is no
