at this point last month amounted to
$91 900. Through the scarcity OF cat
tie shipments north the out business
was not so heavy.
There was another long string OF
transfer cars sent to the Mexican Cen
trail yesterday. Several cars of coal
and threshiDg machine were includ-
ed in the string.
The Santa Fe has instructed ite
wa tchman to cover the ground be-
tween here and the smelter as often as
convenient to, II possible, capture the
boys who have been throwing stones at
the train.
Work on the temporary structure
which is to serve as the Mexican Cen
trail depot is progressing rapidly and 1t
will not be long until the workmen
now confined in the box cars will move
into q much more convenient place to
labor.
When the horse was killed in the
Santa Fe yards yesterday Agent Carl
Enpis went to the city scavenger and
reported the matter. The scavenger
said that it would cost the company
50 SO to have it buried. Carl scratch
ed his head for awhile then concluded
to bury it himself. and he did.
It is stated on good authority that the
G. 81. & s. A. is threatened with q
washout between Valentine and San
dersor. Passengers who arrived on
Del Rio state that at places between
Valentine aud Del Rio the water almost
covers the track. This is caused from
heavy rains in that vicinity.
Firemen of the west end of the
Southern Pacific report the heat on the
Mojsve desert almost unbearable. "If
the great engineer of this universe
would only send flood of ice water on
that desert the train crews would agree
to get out and pull the trains through
without the aid of an engine, said one
of the tiremen of the Yuma division
yesterday who is up here visiting
friends.
Eight freight trains are on their
way to this point over the Texas q
Pacific and will DE turned over to the
Southern Pacific upon their arrival
here. 1t is thought that the first four
trains willarrive tonight aud the other
four tomorrow sometime. They came
from the east over the Southern Paci-
fic lines and at Houston they took the
Houston & Texas Central tracks to
Fort Worth. At that point the Texas
and Pacific took hold Of them will
bring them to this point.
A car load of Cinnamon passed
through here few days ago en- route
to Mexico via Eagle Pass. When
they reached Del Rio the flood from
the mountains washed away the track
in front of them and they were brought
back to this point yesterday. This
they were transferred to the
Mexican Central and went south this
afternoon over that line. They we're
very angry on account of the i'll luck
they encountered and they took occa-
sion to condemn everything in sight.

IDLE MEN.
The Wdshout Near Del Rio Gives d
Number of Railroad Men a
Chance to Rest.

Not since the strike of 1894 has there
been so many idle railroad men in Ell
Paso The call boys have been kept
busy lately telling railroad men that
their services were not required.
This ia done to avoid paying the
guarantee of so much month; Had
these men that are now pulled off been
allowed to remain on the regular list,
they would have fallen far below the
guarantee, but the company would
have been compelled to pay what ever
.,he guarantee called for whether the
men made that amount or not.
Groups of railroad men were stand
ing around the streets today wondering
when the track would be cleared so
that they would be able to return to
return to WORK again. One who had
just returned from the scene of the
washout, said that it was a sight we'll
worth seeing. The water, in places,
had the track buried, to depth of five
or six feet and was flowing with great
force Cocoa sionally." he said. "a pig
would appear rolling in the angry waves
then COW, then portion OF barn,
and 80 on Vegetables of all kinds are
in the flood and it is very evident that
q great deal of suffering will be the
result of this unexpected rush OF water.
The sad thing about the matter is, !"
continued the speaker, that those who
have lost cannot claim damages from
the railroad company. What nice
thing it woulG be if the railroad COM
pany could be made to pay all losses. ,;
The way it looks this morning it will
take several days yet to get the track
in shape for trains to pass over 1t and
until such time as this is done the
large force of idle railroad men will
have q chance to exhaust their supply
of fairy tales.

A HORSE KILLED.
Struck BY an Engine In the Santa
Fe Yards Yesterddy-OWner
Wants Damages to the Amount
of SIS.

Yesterday while o. Chavez, a Mex
ican, was loading WOO out of car In
the Santa Fe yards the sw1tchenglne
came along and the team, having no
one to look after them aud being united,
started to run through the yards.
They first took direction opposite to
where the engine WAS, but finally made
quick turn and ran in front OF the
approaching engine.
When the smoke cleared away one
of the horses was dead and the tongue
of the wagon broken, but the otuer
horse escaped without scratch. The
owner of the team made great deal
of noise about the matter and put in a
claim against the company for SO for
the animal that met It's death in the
yards.
The animal was OF tic d and neither
had it anyone TO look after it. The
duty of the switchengire Is to pass up
and down the track where the acct
dent occurred several times day and,
if the owner OF the team did not know
this,it ia no fault of Santa Fee company,
and it is safe to predict that the price
of the horse will be the cost OF his eX-
perieuce on this particular occasion.
Yesterday afternoon the railroad
company loaded the dead animal on q
fat car and took it out west where it
was buried with the solemn rites OF
railroad religion.
In regard to the killing of this horse
one of the Santa Fee men said: sit 1s
only q wonder to me that there are not
more accidents of the kind. Mexicans
coming into the yards for wood are
very reckless. They start right through
the yards, over tracks, ties and frogs,
with team of bouy horses without ever
looking to seeif the switch engine is
~nnroachinu wOuld not trade q cold
doughnut for that horse that was killed
Yesterday and still the owner has the
nerve to ask S25 for it. 1t was a little,
ye.?ov. dried up thing that would have
been taken for a rabbit in any large
country. If more care was exercised
by this elemen. there would be no call
for damages"

In considering what was established
by the statements of Engineer Herring
concerning the east side water supply.
this paper draws it's conclusions solely
from the statements of that expert.
made in the open. Certain truths were
announced by that statement, for which
the friends of the east side system
have all along contended. Not that the
expert used the language in our
analysis, but that his testimony con-
nrmed in every particular the claims
made in behalf of test for that sys-
tenn, and disposed of a great mass of
doubts, fears, misstatements, unscien-
tific and illogical conclusions, and many
a sneer and fiout against the probabil-
ity OF there being any virtue whatever
in the proposition to test the east side
supply, and once and for all dispose of
that issue in the water agitation. The
'Record-Union" reasserts, and it in
vites its readers TO examine the testi.
mQny for themselves, that every con-
elusion reached by this paper in the
matter is warranted by the expressions
of the expert. All these truths were
known before; they have been repeat
edly set forth in these columns. and
the experts testimony simply gives
them new fortification.

THE COPPERHEAD.

The copperhead of to-day is the man
who desires the United States. Of which
he is citizen, to suffer defeat at the
hands of a serni-civilized foe. The
copperhead is the man who would have
the President reverse the Congress of
the United States and assume power he
does not possess. The copperhead of
to-day, is he who would have his ma
tive land forego the opportunity that
presents to nation but once in it's
history, to take its proper place among
the Powers of the earth and command
for itself the respect that is it's due.
The copperhead of to- day is the in
dividual who would have the nation of
which he is citizen withdraw from a
position that insures to US commercial
equality in the East, may prevent the
dismemberment of the Chinese Empire,
and viii prevent a struggle among pow
erful nations fer the possession of ter
ritory, which the copperhead would
have us abandon for them to fight over
The copperhead of to-day. as in the six
ties, is the man who, because he hap
pens to disagree with the governmental
policy, renders aid and comfort to the
public enemy, and by encouraging him
in his insurrection becomes quasi Ie-
sponsible for the death of every sol
dier, and for every dollar of cost of
the war in excess of what would be
the loss without such encouragement to
the foe.
The copperhead of this era is the per-
son who demands impossible things of
the Administration, acts in the nature
of usurpation, policy in defiance of
the DEGREES of Congress, and in viola
tion of the calls of a solemn treaty
with a nation with which We have just
concluded an honorable peace. He
would have US yield up to internecine
war or foreign scramble, territory ced-
ed to us by the sovereignty we found
dominating, and the only authority rec
ognized in the islands by the civilized
nations Of the earth.
The copperhead would out Of hand
recognize mere faction of one of sixty
tribes Of natives inhabitating the Phil
ippine archipelago. irrespective OF the
rights Of the others, all of whom but
scattered few, are at peace with us,
accept the protection Of our flag, and
are content to welcome the coming Of
American institutions.

The President has issued his Thanks
giving proclamation. 1t will now be in
order for Mr.. Bryan to jump astride
it and point out that it is hypocritical,
false and blasphemous. He certainly
will do so If he follows out the logic
Of his stump speeches. as he swings
through the country. For the Presi-
dent declares in his proclamation that
there is profound reason for giving
thanks to God for blessings we enjoy;
for the progress the nation has made;
for the prosperity which has visited the
country; for our success in pacifying
Cuba and stamping out the yellow few
er; and for many other things not even
forgetting Luzon and the Aguinaldo in
surrection. For, says the President,
while that insurrection continues, bus
mess is resuming its activity and con-
hdence in the good purposes of the
United States is being rapidly cstab-
lished throughout the archipelago. AS
suredly all this is sufficient cause for
the anti-expansion press and its lead
er, Mr.: Bryan, to shed tears and open
new vtals Of wrath for the devoted head
OF the President Of the United States.

WOMEN GONE WRONG.

The women of the Christian Temper
ance Union, lately in national session
at Seattle, were led into the adoption
of resolutions disapproving the posi-
ton of the Government concerning the
Philippines. The reason set forth in
their main resolution is stated TO be,
that as Governments derive their just
power only from the consent of the
governed, therefore we should not com
pei a foreign people to submit to our
rule.
Let us see about that. The resolu-
tion proceeds from a false premise to
an illogical conclusion. Tt assumes
that the insurgents in Luzon are 1.-The
people" of the islands, and are the only
ones capable of giving consent to oe
governed. Now as a matter of fact
they do not constitute 3 per cent of
the people of the Philippines. AS a
matter of fact there are millions Of the
people of the archipelago who consent
to our possession as against the few
thousands who resist US So much
for the premises
Now it is not true that we are at
tempting TO compel the Filipinos to ac-
cept our form of government We 10
however, insist that we cannot and
will not treat with any people as to
forms of government, while they stand
against US with arms in their hands. 1t
has never been proposed that the Fill
ipinos shall have less free or liberal
government than that we ourselves
enjoy. 1t has never been proposed that
they shall be ruled" by any one, but
it is the intention, and it has SO fre-
quently been declared, to them to give
them just as large measure of self
government as they are capable OF ex-
erciSing, consistently with the main
tenance of a stable form of free gov
ernment
The Christian Union women went off
wrong. They have copied one of Mr..
Bryan's sounding phrases, and i'm
agine that fhey have posed as patriots
