THE RETURN OF THE PILGRIMS.
Governor 0tero and Party Are Home Again
After a Most Pleasant and Profitable
Experience,

The governor and party returned
last night from their Otero county trip,
delighted with their experience and es-
pecially the handsome way in which
they were treated by everyone, western
Texans as wei, as southeastern New
Mexicans. The party returned as they
went, in the private car of the Ell Paso
e. Northeastern road, which was kindly
rendered to them by the management
of the Northeastern road.
After the judiciary guests of the cx-
cursion had returned, TIE remaining
ladies and gentlemen of the party We're
treated to a ride up the corkscrew line
into the crest of the Sacramentos. They
had to ride in cabooses, as it was impos-
sible to haul a standard car up that tor
tuous line. They left Alamogordo at
10 a. M, and pulled up the mountain
through the La Luz canon, and in three
hours had reached to within three
miles of the summit. There are enor-
nous timber tracts in that section, and
Superintendent Grieg said that cutting
at the rate of 100000 feet a day, the
timber would last for 100 years
at least. But then there is
something else besides timber
in that country. Up on those great
table lands are fine and fertile stretches,
where it is claimed crops can be raised
year after year without irrigation. The
party were much impressed with the
magnificent resources Of the region, and
the trip up the mountain alone well re-
paiI fhnrp for fhoir JNnu ;oprnou 1ahn
party reached Alamogordo again at 6
p. M. and spent the evening listening to
the fine music from the orchestra OF the
McGinty club of Ell Paso under Con-
ductor Pitzer. In the morning, a spe-
cial train carried the party back to Ell
Paso. An hour was pleasantly spent
there, the hospitable citizens of the city
escorting the visitors around in car
riages, including a ride over the river
to Juarez, where the gentlemen in
dulged in cigars and the ladies
bought a number of trinketS and
curios. Customs officers at the
bridge extended the usual courtesies,
and the tourists were not examined.
The party then went back to their car
which was attached to the north bound
Santa Fe train, and returned to this city,
somewhat tired, but still very much
pleased. They speak in the highest
terms of the hospitality of the El Paso &
Northeastern road, especially of General
Manager and Mrs. j. A Eddy and Soil
citor and Mrs. w. A. Hawkins. and
the good people of southern New Mex
leo, of Ell Paso and the Santa Fe rail-
road, all of whom were so attentive to
the wants of their guests. The Ell Paso
people were not backward in stating
their ties commercial and otherwise with
New Mexico, and as that section of the
country grows, the bond of interest in
many directions between the western
tongue of Texas and New Mexico only
grows the stronger.

DAM Fl ARROYO.

There is considerable kick in Socorro
against the floods which sweep down the
San Lorenzo arroyo from the Magdalena
mountains and run through the town
flooding the levels near the railway. The
arroyo is a natural water course and can
not now be damned and a good many
people think that the legislature should
provide a means for abating the
nuisance.

Venezuela has once more undergone a
revolution. The insurgents under General
Castro, after a sanguinary engagement in
which they suffered much loss, rallied in
the mountainous interior and advanced to-
ward the capital. The bulk of the army
having sided with the movement President
Andrade quilted Caracas, where General
Castro set up a provisional government
with a ministry and representatives of 9th
er powers entering into diplomatic rela-
lions on the goth of November, 1899.
The fourth section of the tariff act, ap-
proved July "a, 1885, apears to provide only
for commercial treaties which should be
entered into by the president, sS2 also rat
flied by the senate within two years of its
passage. Owing to delays inevitable in ne
gotta tons of this nature none of the treat
les initiated under the section could be
concluded for ratification by the senate
prior to its adjournment on the 4th of
March last. Some of the pending negotia-
lions, however, were near conclusion at
that time, and the resulting conventions
have since been signed by the plenipoten-
tiaries Others, within both the third and
fourth sections of the act, are still under
consideration. Acting under the constitu-
tiona power of the executive in respect to
treaties l have deemed it my duty, while
observing the limitations of concession
provided by the fourth section, to bring to
a conclusion all pending negotiations, and
submit them to the senate for it's advice
and consent.
Conventions of reciprocity have been sign
ed during the congressional recess with
Great Britain for the respective colonies of
British Guiana, Barbados. Bermuda, Ja-

THOSE BANKRUPTCY CASES.
Judge Purnell Trying to Remedy the
Mistakes of Clerk Fortune.

Judge Purnell Was busy yesterday
correcting the errors made by Clerk
Fortune in bankruptcy papers.
In cases containing error only in the
discharge, he granted new discharge,
but in eases where the error begins
with the adjudication of bankruptcy
this cannot be done. There are five Of
these cases
In these cases Judge Purnell will noti-
fy counsel and hear them as to the best
method to cure the defect.
There are two methods by which this
may he done: Cd To consider the petit
ton as newly presented, adjudge the
man Il bankrupt, and order a refer
ence of the matter to the referee; or ~
to make reference of the case nunc
pro tune and let the referee certify up
his previous adjudication on it.
The latter method would be the sim
plest but Judge Purnell will adopt the
method agreed upon by the interested
parties.

THE SMALLPOX ACCOUNT.
The County Agrees to Pay $4,000 of
the $1,000.

The city and county authorities reach
ed an agreement yesterday in regard to
the payment of the expense incurred
spring.
1t was agreed on the part of the com
mittee appointed by the board of county
commissioners to recommend that the
county pay to the city $4,000. The city
is then to own all the property, as here
tofore, and the county will have no
rights whatever in it, except III the tents
furnished by the county.
The city claimed that the county
ought to pay one-half of the $1,000 it
cost to suppress the epidemic.
1t was agreed when the county sent
its first patient to the pest house, Mayor
Powell understood, that the county
should pay half and the city half of the
total expense. City Attorney Perrin
Busbee understood the county was to
pay half of the expenses, except the cost
Of vaccination.
The county commissioners objected to
this, because the city had by far the
largest number of patients in the pest
house. AS the city had about 40, while
the county had only %, the commits
sioners said they were willing to settle
OH this basis, which would make it pay
about S1,750 of the $1,000 expense in
CURED by the city in stamping out the
smallpox.
Chairman Lewis understood that the
county was only to pay It's pro rata
part; and ATTORNEY Jones understood the
county was to pay whatever might be

just and proper in the matter, as nobody
at that time knew who would have the
greater number of patients.
So the commissioners appointed n
committee to go over the whole thing
and settle ON any basis they may deem
just and equitable. This committee was
composed of Chairman Lewis, Commits
sioner Brewer and Attorney Jones. On
the part of the city were the Finance
committee, composed of Aldermen Mil
Ter. Wilder and Jones, and Mayoy
Powell.
These held n meeting yesterday after
noon ut 4 o'clock in the county conn
misSioners' room ut the court house
and after two hours discussion came to
the above compromise agreement.
The committee for the county at first
proposed that the county pay $t.750
but to this the representatives OF tbe
city would not agree, and finally So. 900
was proposed by the county and accept
ed by the city.
The pest house was opened March
30th, the city sending out one patient; on
April 18th the county sent its first M
tient The city discharged its last pa-
tent June 18th: the county discharged
its last patient July 9th. Total mum
Der of patients treated II: Of this NUM-
her the city sent 80 and the county 30.
Physicians employed by the city vacci-
mated one mile beyond the limits. No
charge was made by the city against the
county for the services of Mr. Sale or
for the. wagon employed in carrying
patients to the pest house, nor were
there any charges for lumber hauled
by the city's wagons for the erection
of houses.

SENATOR BUTLER FOR THE PARK
Says Western N. G. Can Beat the yell
lowstone Hollow.

Senator Marion Butler spent yesterday
afternoon here ON his way to Ashevllle
to attend the meeting to be held there in
the interest of securing Il national park
for Western North Carolina Outside
of its geysers and canyon, said he,
Yellowstone Park has little to recon-
mend 1t, and the chances are you won't
see the geysers play when you go When
you have been to the Yellowstone once
you do not care to go again. | have
never seen a man who had been twice.
The region is bleak, bare and unat-
tractiye compared with our mountain
section. If we had park in Western
North Carolina nine out of ten who
went once would want to go again.
Besides we need another park. The
Yellowstone is in the far West, away
from the centres Of population, and we
should have Il park in the East. The
cost of the park would be small, in
fnitesimal to a rich country like ours.
Ii there is ever to be another park it
ought to be in the Aplaachians and
all agree that Western North Carolina
has the finest scenery, the highest noun
tains and the greatest variety of flora
