IMPORTANT
CONFERENCE
Of Elephant Butte Company
And Government Rep
reSentatives
AT COURT HOUSE TODAY
At An AmlCab1e UNDERSTANDING In
the Dam Controversy

NJ nn nuhCoDlS understanding Ii
the Dam Controversy
A very important called meeting O,
the defendants in the Elephant Butte
dam controversy, and the represents
tives of the gOvernme emit will begin al
the court house today to try and adjus
the differences which have arisen Ov er
the international dispute which has
been before the courts for the past few
years.
The English company has always
shown q disposition to fight the case,
while the government has always taken
the position OF q friendly mediator.
The company took Secretary Olney's
| I'M junction case into the territorial
court of New Mexico and had the in
junction dissolved. The case was ap-
pealed and not long ago was decided by
| the supreme court OF the United States,
which, in effect, reversed the decision
of the territorial court of New Mexico
by restoring the injunction and ORDER
Ing the case sent back to the United
States court at Las Cruces, N. NJ, to
take proof on the fact as to whether
the proposed English dam would i'm
pair the usefulness of the river as
nav1gable stream in that portion where
it forms the international boundary.
The case is set for December the
an agreement will be reached at the
meeting which will be held today.
Judge Msrsden @. Burch, of Grand
Rapids. Michigan, was sent here as
the special counsel for the department
of justice. AS Judge Burch said in a
recent Interview, 1.-The department of
justice has no enmity to irrigation,
nor has it any partisan friends of
navigation opposed to irrigation. Its
attitude, therefore, is most friendly to
all parties interested in good faith in
irrigation along the Rio Grande. To
be more definite, it will not be fair
for the government of the United
States. which alone has control of the
waters of this great river. to stand by
and permit one section to monopolize
such waters for any purpose to the ex-
others.
ITO such extent as the Elephant
Butte project threatens this, the Uni
ted States will be active in its oppo-
sition; 1t will not be unfriendly, but |
rather friendly to any course which |
will not endanger the relative rights
of those who need water farther down
the stream, as for instance, in the Ell
Paso valley"
At today's meeting the case will be
discussed in all its details and an effort
will be made to reach an amicable
settlement.
The government it is believed will
allow the construction of the Elephant
Butte dam If at the same time the com.
oany will preserve the rights of the
government and secure equal distritu-
ion of water, leaving congress and the
'ther departments to deal with the
questions of international interest, as
veil as the policy of usirg public
money for irrigation.
The meeting will in all probability !
consume several days. The result will
'e submitted to the English stock
folders and the department. of Justice. :

Returning VOLUNTEERS.
TennesSeeans Will Come THROUGH
Ell Paso On Friday Night-No
Stop Here.

A telegram was received at the G.
81. station late this afternoon to the
effect that the First Tennessee regi-
ment of volunteers would leave there
tonight for Nashville, where they are
due to arrive on Tuesday morning.
The train comes in three sections,
and will reach Ell Paso at about mid
night Friday night. Owing to the
necessity of reaching Tennessee in
time for the celebration of their home
coming, they cannot stop over here,
and the only time consumed here will
be in transferring baggage from box
cars to regular baggage cars.
This is the regiment which delega-
ton from Tennessee went through to
meet, passing,E lei Paso ten DAYS ago.
The local Tennessee club had invited
them to stop over.

THE MATTER WILL NOT REST
II The Present Double Header
Committee Fails In Chicago,
Other Means Will BE Used To
Secure Compensation For Extra
Time

Time
1t is learned from q reliable ioca
railroad source that during the meet
ing of the Santa Fee grievance commit
tee with the road officials in Chicago
IA entirely new line of argument will
be put forward in relation to double
headers
AT the unsucce ssful meeting of the
first con- m'ttee with representatives, OF
sne road, " said the sutho rity in ques-
HOn, liz was asked that the proposed
institution of double-t eaders on the
10Th of October be abandoned, and that
the road remain content with the old
plan of one engine to train. This
vas refused and double headers began
operating. Since then there has been
much agitation among train men, one
result of which has been the letter to
Gov. Savers asking that the special
session of the legislature be instructed
60 pass an act prohibiting double
headers in/the state of Texas.
"The present mission to Chicago Is
for the purpose of asking, not an abo-
HtiOu of the new system, but q raise in
the pay of the crews who are doing ex-
ira work and who undergo extra haz-
ard The present Chicago committee
is composed of members of the conduc
tors, fremen's engineers and brake
mems organizations, and its demand is
that the present rate of pay to conduc-
tors and brakemen, of 3 and cents
respectively, he doubled for double
header work, and that 6 and 4 cents be
paid.
SIN spite of the extra hazard in the
case OF engineers and fremen, they
have no extra work, and no demands
are made in their behalf.
1.-THE report of the committee will be
awaited with interest, and will be
made in day or two.
On it will depend the
action OF employees of other roads using
double headers. If 1t is favorable, the
result will be Ike demand ON their
part. II the road refuses to accede in
some d, gree to the request, the matter
will be brought torcibly to the atten-
ton of the state legislature and
pushed. And, in addition, other
means will be found for agitation, for
the rea son that we think we have Just !
grounds for complaint, and some |
remedy must lie.
''If the matter is brought to q sue
cessful issue before the TIE xas legisla- !
ture, the rest will be easy in having |
like action taken in other states"

A SOLDIERS VIEWS
Speaks In the Highest Terms Of the
Policy Pursued BY the United
States In the PHILIPPINES

W. T. Wilder, a soldier formerl,
stationed at Fort Bliss but now in tn.
Philippines, has written letter to J
}. Z. Armstrong, of this city, and by
courtesy of G. S. LIE Baron the HER.
AID is enabled to publish it.
The letter Is quite interesting, 1t
follows:
1LOILO, z. l.. Oct. II, 1899.
Mr.. j. j. Z. Armstrong, Ell Paso, Tex.
| Dear Brothe err: Your letter of AUG,
Z was received some days ago. Accept
many thanks for your kindness. Broth.
er Walker Is at place called Jole
about $50 miles from here. wrote
him as requested by you but as yet
have received no reply.
You asked me to write and give Won
my opinion as to things here in gen
eral. L am poor writer but will saw
have seen enough of the country to
be satisfied that the United States is
pursuing the only reasonable policy
she could with these islands.
don It believe these people are ca
pable OF conducting any kind of gov
ernmeot without the assistance of some
strong government. Everything in
the way of putting down the insnrrec-
ton Is being done by the military au-
thor1t1es. They may appear to people
in the states to be a little slow, but 1t
Is next TO Impossible to do much cam
paigning here during the wet season.
The soldiers here are being treated
we'll and there is very little sickness. I
am enjoying as good health as l did at
Fort Bliss.
Preparations are made for an ap
gressive campaign in the interior of
the Islands as soon as the roads are
dry enough for travel. am in favor
of holding the Islands by all means. Il
am democrat but If were in the
states this year 1 would vote with the
republicans. These islands in very
little time will more than pay the cost
OF conquest and in a few years the
Fflipinos will be glad the Ameri-
cans stayed. The lower classes here
are very little better than our indians. |
only they make little more use of We
ter. they are all reasonably clean.
Lieut.. Grubbs, of the 9th infantry, |
stationed in the Island of Negroes. was |
killed in an engagement about two
weeks ago. May be you remembered
him; he was lieutenant in the 18th
infantry at Fort Bliss and an excellent
man. Many men discharged here
visit the states and reenlist for SER
vice there. Still nearly everyone that
caves here swears he will never even
ook in this direction again.
1 am your friend.

! Some OF the friends OF the Hon. Frank Camp
! bell. Democratic National Committeeman for
the State. Rravely ann ounced yesterday that Mr..
| Campbell, at the solicitation OF the Hon. David
b. Hill Of Albany and the Hon. Hugh McLaugh-
| lin OF Brooklyn. was to open headquarters

| with q view to capturing the Assembly

said last night that somebody must be joking.
Maybe they added the Hon. Mr.. Campbell
10 serious in the matter. and II he is. why. all
right. The Croker people had nothing to say
about this subject yesterday. Neither did the
Murphy people.
1t was recalled. however. that last fall. when

Richard Croker down. bet hundreds OF thou

allowed to conduct the cam paign. Mr., McCar-
rem Is the personal friend Of Mr.. Croker and
Mr.. Murphy. No matter how many agonizng
moments he spent year ago while Richard
Croker was talking. he nevertheless did the
best he could to elect Van Wyck Governor OF
the State. Now the friends OF Mr. Campbell
say that he is to be put to the front as the
leader in the fight to elect Democratic As

The friends OF Mr. Campbell pointed out last
night that even with the swing Of q guberna-
torial light year ago. and with every effort
put forward by the Democrats they failed to
elect a majority OF members to tho lower
house at Albany. There is to be no State cleo
ton this fall to speak OF. In the city Of New

Up at the Democratic Club the friends OF Mr..
Croker did not hesitate to say that it might bs
pretty good year to put Mr. Campbell in har-
ness In the effort to elect Democratic ASSEM-
bly,. In other words the Croker people were
on top year ago when they believed that
they could win everything in the State. Not

have conversed with him OF late. thinks
that the Democrats can capture the Asse m bly,.
