RACING WESTWARD.
Active Railway in Oklahoma Looking
Toward New Mexico.

a.
The Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf is a
new railway company engaged in build
ing. Ten days ago it sent a corps of
surveyors west to Albuquerque to ex-
anime the country and collect such in
formation as would be useful in case the
Choctaw decides to go further. There
Is talk that the Choctaw will in time
reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The Choctaw expects to complete the
building of its line into Little Rock, Ark,
by November l, at which time it will
begin traffic service. Only 20 miles of
track is to be laid. This company will
then have a direct line from Weather
ford, o. IT,, to Memphis, Tenn. on the
Mississippi river, a distance of 500 miles,
having already finished a line from Lit
tie Rock to Memphis. Every railroad
crossing the Choctaw from north to
south, and having the Gulf of Mexico
as the objective point for the delivery
of southwestern commodities, is watch
ing this new enterprise with anxiety.
This is especially true of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, the Atchison, To-
peka g. Santa Fe, the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas, the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf and the St. Louis e. San Francisco.
The extension of the line from Geary,
0. T., spurred the Rock Island into ac-
tivity and caused the construction of an
extension from Chickasha westward to
Anadarko and beyond. 1t was a race
to be first on the ground in the unde-
veloped territory of southwestern Okla
homa. The Rock Island kept at work
until it got neck and neck with the
Choctaw, and then stopped.

PRESS COMMENT.
CLIMATE AND CONSERVATIVES.
Chicago Times Herald,)

Whether consumption is contagious
in the ordinary sense of the term or not,
it is difficult to understand how Cali
fornia or any of the other far Western
states can afford at this late day to put
up barriers for keeping people with
pulmonary troubles away. Colorado
has a large number of men and women
who went there with consumption, got
we'll and became energetic, useful citi-
zens. The same may be said of Cali
fornia, or the southern part of the state
at least. Why should people who may
in the future, through no fault of their
own, become victims of consumption be
denied the privilege of seeking climates
that may restore them to health? The
air of California was not necessarily
made for the exclusive use of the people
who are there now. If it could be bot
tied up and brought away for those
who may need it in future the dispo-
sition to boycott consumptives might be
regarded with complacency, but that
can not be done.

Next month Roswell people will vote
on a sewer bond proposition, framed un-
der an act passed at the last session of
the legislature. A tax of 26 cents on the
800 of assessed valuation will meet the
interest on the proposed expense of
$27, 000. No growing town like Roswell
can afford to refuse to provide for health
and cleanliness. Improvements of that
character are worth far more than the
cost of %aintenance.

The call of Gen. Torres for a regiment
of rurales in the wal with the Yaquis
probably had something to do with the
determination of President Diaz not to
come to this country in October. The
campaign is evidently to be protracted,
and the president may feel the need of
directing operations himself. He is a
natural born fighter, and having deter
mined to sweep the Yaquis from the
land he will do it if he lives long enough.

"When / reached Manila / thought
Jul troubles were over, but we are going
to have some ugly fighting before these
'niggers' under Aguinaido come to their
senses. The $40, 200, 900 paid for the is
lands is dirt cheap. We have a magni-
fcent country, and when II people I'M
derstand what they have got, there will
be a big Philippine boom. The climate
is far superior to Cuba, and there is no

New York, Nov.15.-The American Bible

agents in China, which state-that as the
result of the palace revolution last year,
whereby the empress dowager assumed
power and the emperor was practically
imprisoned, prosecutions of missionaries
are occurring in various payts OF China,

HOSTILITIES WITH THE YAQUIS
Vigorously Renewed--TwO Americans
Victims of the ssaNages.

Nogales, Ariz., Nov. 15.-An official re-
port from Hermosillo, Mexico, reports a
renewal of hostilities with the Yaquis,
and the taking of the town Of Vicam by
the Mexicans. The report says the reb-
els have been seriously in need of prOvis-
ions and munitions and the foraging par.
ties have been unsuccessful except in
case of a. band of steers taken on the
river Mayo. Two Americans named Net
tleton and Bostwick were attacked by
Indians near Ontegate. Nettleton was
captured and hanged. The fate of Bost-
that vicinity is unknown. The Mexican
troops are making a vigorous campaign.
They have taken Vicam and were sue
cessful in a fight at La Angostura in
which three Mexicans were killed and
nine wounded.
Chicago. Nov ia special TO the Rec
ord from Ortiz, Mexico, says: The Yaqui
Indians have become very aggressive dur
ing the last few days. The main body Of
the rebels still has its rendezvous in the
mountains northeast of Sahuariha, but
rowing bands of braves are becoming
holder in their operations. The troops
commanded by General Torres have had
q number of desperate engagements with
the Indians and a number have been
killd and wounded on both sides. Sew

FIENDISH CHINESE BRIGANDS
Sent Boy, Picked, to His Father,
Who Couldn't Paw Ransom.

Victoria. B. c.. Nov.15.-An event which
speaks for itself, of the lawless state of
the country bordering on and beyond the
new territory, Kow Loon, China, took
place quite recently. a gang of scoun-
drels kidnapped a lad of years with a
view to holding him for ransom. A mes
sage was sent to the father demanding
Of him a ransom somewhat beyond his
means, and consequently the 2ather could
not pay it. The fends, believing that he
was able to raise to money if he wished,
again sent to him, threatening that if the
money was not sent within a specified
time the boy would be returned to him in
pickle, and, the money not being sent,
actually put their threat into effect. the
dead body of the lad being seturned TO
the father in a jar of brine. The perpe-
traitors of this horrible outrage are still at
large and apparently the Chinese author
flies are making no effort to. arrest them.

CHlCAG0'S CANAL PROJECTS
Are Laid Before the Waterways Con-
Vention at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov 5.-At today's
session of the Western Waterways con-
vention, c. L. Cooley. engineer in charge
Of the Chicago drainage canal, spoke with
regard to that project. He said that in
1896, great engineer came to Chicago,
and predicted that that city would be-
come a great metropolis His idea was
TO connect Chicago and New York by
cana and Chicago and the Mississippi
river by canal. He even thought by this
means that the trade OF New York would
extend along this route 10 the gulf In
1887 a convention was held at Peoria 10
further the cana lproject Other conven-
tons Endorsed the idea. Chicago, he said,
is now contributing TO a canal which
would eventually become the property of
the government. The enterprise, which
now represents an investment Of SIS. oG0,-
CO. would, when completed, represent an
outlay of S50,0e0O00. The speaker denied
that the canal would pollute the waters
Of the Mississippi, but instead, it would
be a great and helpful commercial arm
to gulf traffic

When I attempted to replace Jeffries'
glove I told him to stand still and be
steady and I would put the glove on all
right. Sharkey. however, coached by his
seconds, kried TO get at him, and Jeffries
pulled away his hand and moved around
to avoid Sharkey. The glove came off
on the east side of the ring, and when the
final clash came Jeffries was on the west
side OF the ring.
1t was really an exciting moment with
the spectators yelling at the top of their
voices. The fighters were also upset. And
there l was between them, trying to keep
Sharkey back and attempting to replace
a wet, soggy glove on a man who was
continually moving about.
Is it to be wondered at that I did not
get that glove on Jeffries hand? Could
anybody, under the same condition. have
replaced that glove? If so, would like
TO shake hands with him.
Now. regarding the glove episode, sew
eral referees here say that l did not act

If Sharkey, as O'Rourke says, won the
fight, he must have had it Won up to the
time Jeffries' left glove came off. If he
had the fight won up to that time, and
O'Rourke thought so. why did ORourke
instruct Sharkey to bit Jeffries~ while
was attempting to replace the glove, know
ing that by doing so he would be commit

O'Rourke is given credit for being a
good second as well as a good judge of a
fight Would he, knowing or thinking he
had the fight won, advise his man to lose
on a foul? Is it not more reasonable to
suppose that he would advise Sharkey to
be careful and not do anything that would
call for disqualification?
