Opposite and to the cast of the
Montana exhibit was that of New
Mexico. Besides a rather complete
series of ores from different local
tiles, there was not much of inter
est from a mincralogical point Of
view, although some attractive
specimens of azuritc, malachite,
and cupritc, combined from the
Santa Rita de Cobre Mine. in Grant
County, were shown. This mine,
which has been worked since 1908.
is said to be the oldest copper
mine in the United States. 1t is
also from Grant County that the
turquoises come, but as they have
already been mentioned, it IS only
necessary to add that tine collec-
ton of these gems was also shown
in the exhibit of New Mexico.
Some attractive garncts were like

ALBERT GUsDoRF.
The matter was at once called
to the attention of Judge McFie,
who sent Deputy Unitod States
Marshal Sheridan to the scene of
trouble on the morning Denver &
Rio Grande train.
The trouble grows ont of the
killing of Sheriff Luciano Trujillo
in Taos yesterday by Albert Gif-
ford, and since none of the parli-
culars of the affair had been rcceiv
ed, all kinds of rumors are ahoat.
The prevailing opinion here is that
Clifford has been hidden by his
friends somewhere in the vicinity
of Taos, and that this action has
angcrcd the friends of the dead
sheriff, who are determined to Sc
cure possession of the young man
who killed him.
Later in the morning another
message from Embudo was receiv-
ed, stating that ;he messenger who
went to Embudo to telegraph for
help, was compelled to sneak out
of town, as the friends of the sheriff
have the place guarded, and that
about ten or Is of those who do
not want violence to rule are stand
ING off the rest of the town. Truji-
Hos friends want to lynch Clifford,
but this will not be permitted.
| CAUSE OF TIE SHOOTING.
At I o'clock this afternoon the
following telegram was received
from Embudo: giving the parti.
cnlars of the trouble:
Embudo. Dec. IA On Monday
evening, December II, at 6:4j
O'Clock, Sheriff Trujillo, of Taos
county, was shot and dangerously
wounded in saloon in Taos, and
is not cxpcciedto live at this time.
The whole population of Taos is
in an uproar, the Mexican people
threatening the lives of all Ameri
can residents, claiming that the
sheriff was killed bv an American.
Previous to the shooting the
sheriff arrested two Americans,
Phillips and Meyers, for no Other
reason than that they did not re
move their hats while the process
sion of the church, celebrating tho
day Of San Guadalupe was pass

cent arrivals from the east, ant
did not understand the custom,
nor the language of the natiy,
people. They were thrown into
Jail under the protests of thei
friends, and Il bond was raiseC
among the leading citizens. TIL,
protest was met with threats from
the sheriff, who was badly iutoxi
=; Gated, and who asserted that h,
would arrest Americans at hi
pleasure.
Entering the saloon where hc
was employed, Clifford protested
in a friendly way against the al
rests. The sheriff at once free
several shots in the crowded room
at Clifford without effect, and tn,
shots were returned by parties un
known toyour correspondent. TIL

4 Resume of the work of the AgricuI-
tural Depu rtment.


The department of agriculture mas been
active in the past year Explorers have
been sent to many of the countries of the
eastern and western hemispheres t3r seeds
and plants that may be useful to the United
States and with the further view of open
ing up markets for our surplus products.
The forestry division of the department is
giving special attention 10 the treeless re-
gions of our country and is introducing
species specially adapted to semi-arid re-
glons. Forest fires which seriously inter-
tere with production, especially in irrigated
regions. are being studied that the losses
from this cause may boz avoided. The de-
partment is inquiring into the use and
abuse Of water in many states IT the west
and collaunE Information regarding the
laws of the states, the decisions OF the
courts and the customs OF the people in this
regard, SO that uniformity may be secured.
Experiment stations are becoming more eff

ton Of $4,000 by congress is supplemented

THE STANDING ARMY.
The Importance of It's Increase IA
Pointed Out.

OuAs
Under the act of congress approved
April &c, 1898. authorizing the president in
his discretion, upon a declaration Of war
by congress, or a declaration by congress
that war exists, I directed the increase
of the regular army TO the maximum of
81, 600, authorized in said act. There are
now in the regular army 57S62 officers and
men. In said act it was provided that
al the end of any war in which the United
States may become involved the army shall
be reduced 10 a peace basis by the transfer
in the same arm of service or absorption
by promotion or honorable discharge I'M
der such regulations as the secretary of
war may establish of supernumerary COM
mfssioned officers and the honorable dis
charge or transfer of supernumerary en-
listed men; and nothing contained in this
act shall be construed as authorizing the
permanent increase of the commissioned
yond that now provided by the law in
force prior to the passage of this act, ex-
cept as to the increase of 70 majors pro-
vided for iE section / hereof"
The imp0 ance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is there
fore manifest and the recommendation of
the secretary of war for that purpose has
my unqualified approval. There can be no
question that at this time and probably
for some time in the future, 100000 men will
De none too many to meet the necesSltieS
of the situation. At all events, whether
that number shall be required permanently
or not, the power should be given TO the
president TO enlist that force if in his dis
erection it should be necessary and the
further discretion should be given him to
recruit within the above limit from the
inhabitants of the Islands with the gov
eminent Of which we are charged.
1t is my purpose 10 muster out the en-
tire volunteer army S soon as the con-
gress shall provide for the increase of the
regular establishment, This will be only
an act of justice and will be much appre-
ciated by the brave men who left their
homes and employmenta TO help the coun-
try in its emergency.
