SHOULD COAL GIVE OUT.
Electrical Energy aud Natural
Forces Would supply Plenty
of Power.

Are we utterly dependent upon coal,
so that the wheels of industry will stop
and the forests be consumed for fuel
when coal gives out? OF course rot. II
is nm idle fear. Already we have the be-
ginnings of a new method Of utilizing
natural energy which will prove enor-
mously more effective than coal ever
has been, and will be practically mex
haustible TO whatever extent industry
may expand, says Gunton's Magazine.
Electrical energy, developed by water
power, will run the worlds industries,
furnish its light and heat, and he the
universal substitute for all forms of
combustion methods, Water power is
practically unlimited, and it will be util-
lied more and more in proportion as the
need for il arises and as it becomes, at
different places and at successive peri
DDS, cheaper than coal. The substitu-
ton will proceed gradually, until, when
the coal supply finally is exhausted, no.
body will have anything more than a
curious or academic interest in the mat
ter, and probably not n ripple will be
produced in the steady onward flow of
the worlds industry. As the use Of wa
ter power TO develop electrical energy
increases TO the point of formidable
competition with coal, electrical stu
dents and inventors will doubtless bring
out improvements makingit possible Ia
store the power or conduct it long dis.
tances at small cost, until our factories,
railroads and ships can he operated by
1t, our houses lighted and warmed and
food prepared, all at ever less expense
than is possible to-day with coal.

his home in White sulphur Springs
on the 18th inst. of appendicitis, He
was a prominent Democrat and a
well known citizen OF the state. As
a senator in the last legislature he
emerged from that body without the

cial inducements had been held out
to him in the senatorial contest

GOVERNOR OTERO RETURNS.
New Mexico Attracting Favorable Atten-
ton in the East,

Governor Otero came home last night
from business trip to Chicago and
Washington in the interest of the terri
tory. He was expected in by the train
due here at dark, but continued his
journey to Albuquerque and doubled
back, arriving at II o'clock, though
Mrs. Otero, who had gone to Las Vegas
to meet the governor came by the
earlier train from Lamy. BY this side
trip Governor Otero missed very pleas
ant serenade planned for him by the
regimental band, which called at the
executive mansion at Q o'clock. Mrs
Otero, however, acknowledged the COM
pliment with tact and hospitality.
A New Mexican representative vainly
sough an interview today until o'clock,
when those awaiting talks on business
matters deserted the Office in quest of
lunch.
The governor, in answertoAa question.
whether there were any statements in re-
gard to public business matters to be
made, answered that there were some
affairs of interest in relation to his visit
east, but that he could not discuss them
today, as some business was calling for
immediate attention and mass of cor
respondence piled on his desk had to
be taken up at once.
"You can say said Governor Otero,
that there has never before been so
much favorable talk of New Mexico in
both political and financial circles in the
east as there is now. Financiers.
bankers, railway builders, mining in
vestors are all making inquiry about the
territory and predicting for it pros
porous future. AS to political matters,
the standing of the territory was much
improved by the fact that it went Re-
publican at the last election and is in
full accord with the president and the
party in regard to the present war and
business policy.
81 found practically no opposition to
the admission of New Mexico to statehood
among the people and representative
men with whom | came in contact.
met the president several times and his
official family and various department
)tlicers was treated very kindly. and |
was much pleased by the interest shown |
)y President Mckinley in the people of |
New Mexico and her future welfare.
In the east there will be practically no
opposition to the denomination of the
president, and he will be elected by a
popular vote rarely If ever equalled,"
the governor, as he seated
himself to the task of reading stack of
elegrams and letters.

hundred or two, escaped though the
mountains. The Washington troops re-
turned to Pasig. The present expedition
shows the difficulty encountered by an
army which must depend upon wagon
trains in catching bare-footed bands in
their own mountains, and also gives
proof that rebels do not intend to fight.
Gen. Hall left Santa Teresa yester day
morning, marched twelve miles to Nor
ong over rocky hills and through woods
and swampS. Scores of men fell out
owing to extreme heat and were left to
follow the best they could. The head of
the army arrived at Morong at noon, hav-
ing exchanged few shots with insur-
gent skirmishers. Stragglers followed
all day but the force was 200 smaller
than when it started. The men were al
most thirty-six hours without rations.
One member of the Washington regi-
ment was killed and two wounded in
an encounter with outposts.
General Lawton, on the gunboat
searching the coast for Major Truman,
stopped at Binangonan, opposite Morong.

interest in the Fountain murder case

lyn appeared for cross-examination by

a bad memory which he attributed to
illness. He gave negative answers to
questions as to his connection with
plots to murder Attorney Fall and
Oliver Lee. He admitted he had en-
ployed detectives after turning the case
over to the sheriff. He stated that the
stenographic record of his former state
ments, in some particulars, was err
roneous and made some corrections.
Falls first question was: "You testi-
fled twice that the track in Las Cruces
was not the same as any three near the
blood?"
!He did not" interposed Attorney
| Catron."
"When you say that you state deliber-
| ately and wilfully what you know is
false" said FALL "You are seeking to
post your Witness"
Catron then addressed the court and
continued to state what the witness had
| said yesterday.
"NOw you have posted the witness as
intended" said FAIL ''as to my language
l will apologize to the court but not to
you. sir"
Reference to the record was passed
temporarily. The witness said, "Sev-
eral measurements were taken of the
horse and boot tracks and kept at my
office but don't know where they are
now. Probably l did write Ii. H. Cox's
statement to Pinkerton man but it was
what Cox told me-"

that statement because he met me (FalD
the same afternoon. did not you say
Cant you make it two or three hours

Here there was an objection. During
the legal tilt here, Fall said, ''We pro-
pose to show it was not the original in
tention to prosecute the defendants, but
they were after me, wanted to accuse
me, but got into this and can't get out.
Objection was sustained.
