Peculiar Exclamation.

DR.. Theodore Won Holleben, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington. has
given out an interview in which he
tries to explain the peculiar actions Of
Admiral Won Diedrich in Manila bay
after Admiral Dewey had acquired pos
session of the Philippines by utterly de-
stroying the Spanish feet. He says
that never before has Germany held the
United States in so much esteem as at
the present time. or at any time in the
past have the relations between the two
nations been so friendly. The peculiar
part of his interview is the following:
''We were not prepared for the sudden
and dazzling victory of Admiral Dewey
and the changes on the political horizon
that victory brought about. We were
acting on the assumption that Spain
would not be able to hold her own
against the insurgents and were pre-
pairing to cope with a state of anarchy.
With the appearance of the United
States as the sovereign power all our
fears vanished" The ambassador re-
Trains from mentioning that the exas-
perating conduct of the German war
vessels in the Manila bay did not take
place until after the Spanish fleet had
been sunk, nor does he refer to that lit
tie incident when Admiral Dewey sent
word to the German admiral that if he
wanted a fight he could have it at once.
The fact is, DR.. Holleben's explanation
does not explain.

Somehow or other, " said the young
man of sad and thoughtful mien, ~
got hold of one of those stamps. You
know what they are, of course. They
have a clock arrangement in them, and
when you stamp a document the time,
as we'll as any lettering there may be
on the dial, is put OH the paper. I don't
know what induced me to take this one
home, but | got it when they bought a
new and improved Il at the office,
and home it went with me.

and cooking l told my wife, but Of
course l didn't expect her to do any
thing of the sort. Still l explained the
way it worked to her, and after dinner
I did it all over again for the benefit Of
the children. The children wanted me
to give it to them, but I wouldn't do it
not then. Afterward it was different.
My wife wanted me to sell it, but l
wouldn't do that either-not then. Aft

The extension of the Pecos Valley &
Northeastern railway from Roswell to
Amarillo, Texas, is completed, and re-
gular trains are running to Kansas City
and to Denver from Eddy and Roswell.
This means much for the rich Pecos
valley, which will o prosper beyond
precedent. Railroads are necessary in
the territory to build up and develop its
magnificent natural resources. Wher-
ever there is a railroad in New Mexico
there is progress and advancement. The
legislative assembly cannot be too liberal
and fair in railroad legislation. Nothing
should pass that might scare capital
from investing in railroad building in
New Mexico. Railroad extension in this
territory is the order of the day. What
ever the 33rd legislative assembly can
do towards this greatly to be desired end
should be done.

In the February number of one of the
leading magazines appears an article on
the Cuban campaign from the pen of
General Shafter The principle feature
of the entire article is, that the general
has no use for newspaper correspon-
dents, and looks upon them as vipers
which should be exterminated. Gen
eral Shafter is smarting under the
criticisms passed upon his conduct of
the campaign before Santiago, and
well, the newspaper men entertain about
the same opinion of the fat commander
as he does of them.

General Miles has played what might
be called a trump card. He has trotted
out a letter from the adjutant general,
dated September ., showing that the at
tention of the val department had been
called to the canned ''fresh roast beef"
and providing for an investigation. So
Mr.. Alger cannot accuse Miles success
fully of having been negligent in not re-
porting the condition of things to the
war department.

Railroad Possibilities,

AS was noticed in a recent item, the
railroad prophets have settled it that the
Rock Island road will begin prepare
tiohs at an early day, to enter New Mex
'co from southwestern Kansas, by build
ing from Liberal south to Amarillo juno
ton, continuing west-southwest over
the Pecos Valley extension to some con-
venient point whence it can branch off
to Nogal and form immediate connec-
ton with the Ell Paso & Northeastern.
If this is so, and If the Santa Fe has, as
already reported, been granted track
age over the extension to a point east OF
Fort Sumner, where the Ysleta cutoff
is to be built, the line from Amarillo to
Fort Sumner junction will be used as a
joint track, and with three roads run
ming over it, that part of the Pecos VAL
ley road will either have to be double
tracked, or else first-class dispatchers
must be stationed at Amarillo and Fort
Sumner junction. All of the Santa Fe's
transcontinental traffic from Chicago,
st. Louis and Kansas City will run over
the joint track, and the Rock Islands
I'll Paso-Mexican traffic will also tray
erse the same route. All this, with the
local traffic of the Pecos Valley road it,
self, will make the joint track a lively
piece of road. The Pecos Valley road
will also have the Gulf-California traffic
of the Santa Fe which is to build from
San Angelo to Pecos City, thus compet-
ing with the Southern Pacific. Yes, the
southeastern part of New Mexico is GO
ing to be strictly in the swim, and the
railroads are destined to be instrument
VI in making a great country of it.

We Need Rangers,
(Deming Headlight

The present legislature will make a
grave mistake if it fails to pass a law
forming a company of rangers for the
protection of the lives and property of
the citizens of New Mexico. Those in
the northern part Of the territory may
not have any need for such a company,
but we in this part, where they would
be useful many times, have, and the
stockmen will be apt to resent any I'M
favorable action in this matter by the
legislature.

The people of Deming are preparing
to make a great effort to have the Eddy
Brothers build a railroad into that town.
The Demingites do not care where it

They have discovered that the sure way
to get a county divided, and have a new
county seat made in New Mexico, is to

WRECK PHYSICALLY
AND MENTALLY

Easton. Pa, Feb. 20.-The trial of Pro-
fessor George H. Stephens, charged with
burning Pardee hall, Lafayette college,
reached a climax today when cOun-
sci for the defense introduced as evidence
a confession made by the prisoner the
day after his arrest. The paper is a re-
markable piece of work and dramatic in
the extreme. Stephens admits all the
charges under which he is indicted, but
lays the blame of his downfall and his
present predicament at the door of Pres
ident Warfield. He claims that he was
invefgled into signing a paper by the
college president that later turned out to
be an agreement IN his part to quit the
faculty. Warfield is severely scored and
condemned, and he is held responsible for
the physical and mental condition of
Professor Evans, who is now in an in
sane asylum. Stephens declares that
Evans was induced to return from Rome
on the promise of a position from War
field, who at the last moment refused to
keep his agreement. Stephens was much
affected during the reading Of his con
fession. At times he would weep bit
terly and laugh Historically. DR.. War
field sat near the prisoner during the ses-
sion.

SUED FOR
HEAVY DAMAGES

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 20.-John w.
Tyler of Hamilton county, ILL.,, father of
Marion Tyler, lynched at Scottsburg last
December, this afternoon brought suit
in the federal court here against Sheriff
Goblin of Scott county, and his ~bondsmen,
claiming S., 0GG damages.
The complaint AYERS hat it was the
duty Of the Sheriff to protect Tyler, and
that the Sheriff not only did not have
enough guards to protect his prisoner, out
he yielded to the demand to open the
door and surrender his keys, and that
he also gave the leaders of the moi a
lamp, that they might more readily find
their way to the cell occupied by the
prisoner.
1t is also alleged that he made no effort
to cut down the prisoner after he had
been suspended, by which his life might
have been saved. The attorneys for Mr..
Tyler, among whom is numbered ex-At-
r torney General Miller, assert that a large
number of witnesses will be called, and
that. they expect to disclose the identity
of the men who assisted in lynching
Marion Tyler. 1t Is the first suit. of the
kind ever brought in Indiana.

BAD WRECK
ON The c. N.
Rails Spread and the Train
Was Ditched.
SEVERAL PEOPLE INJURED
But They Were All Members of the
Tram Crew--Fire Broke Out
in the Wreckage.
SEVERAL PEOPLE INJURED

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 19.-The Great
Northern eastbound flyer was wrecked
at 5 o'clock this morning near Wilson
creek, between this city and Wenatchie.
The train was running 35 miles an hour,
making up lost time, and the accident is
attributed to the spreading of the rails.
The engine turned completely over, and
some Of the passenger cars were piled up
in confusion. Engineer Sam Works right
leg was broken and he suffered other
wise. Harry Jones, the fireman, is re-
ported to have been slightly scalded. Ex-
press Messenger Kline Felter was badly
injured.
A dispatch was sent to Leavenworth
and the wrecking train. was sent to the
scene. A coach bearing two physicians
was also sent to attend the injured and
take them to the hospital. 1t is reported
that three coaches were burned after the
accident.
The engine vas p~oundaing away at the
rate of about 40 miles an hour west of
Wilson creek when suddenly and without
warning it jumped the track and ran
for a distance of about 800 feet along the
ties, which were torn to flinders. Then
the locomotive turned her nose to one
side and would have rushed wide Of the
track had it not been for a small bluff.
Striking the bluff, the engine turned over
on one side, with the fireman and engi-
neer pinned in the cab. The mail car and
the baggage car which came next to the
tender were thrown sidewise across the
track. Following the express car came
the smoker, and the force Of the shock
broke it completely loose from the rest
of the train and sent it rolling down the
embankment, 20 feet below. All Of the
other cars were thrown from the track
with the exception of the last Pullmay,
which kept to the rails.
The noise of the crash was ~frightful
and for a few minutes the confusion
among the passengers was so general
that it was almost impossible to learn the
extent of the casualties. Meanwhile fire
had broken out from the engine and the
mail car was in flames. Frank Mon
tague, the mail clerk, had been somewhat
bruised in the leg, but he was not at all
deferred from the work of resulng the
mail. Before the fire had driven him
back he and the passengers had gotten
nearly all of the mail to a place of
safety.

Pneumatic thimbles for ~typewriters
and pianists are the latest devices for
nerve economy. The incessant and regu-
lar pounding of the sensitive finger, tips
renders the owners of them nervous
wrecks in a majority of cases, to say
nothing of callous and cracked finger ends
and broken and split nails. The new
thimbles are of rubber, coming in sets,
according to the size of glove worn, and
are said to not only save the nerve shock,
but also to increase the speed and
strength of the stroke.
