MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION.
Governor Otero Calls for Proper Observance
of the Day.
TNFCU VFFlCF' {
Santa Fe, N. NJ, May II. 1899.

Santa Fe, N. M, May II. 1899.
Long-cherished custom in our states
and territories has established, and a
grateful nation has enacted, h a n
day in each year be set apart as sacred
to the memory of our patriot soldiers
and sailors who have given up their
lives in the service of their country; a
day i n which to recall their many suf-
ferings and sacrifices, and to ecount
their valorous deeds, for the emulation
of our youth, and keep the memory of
the departed ones and their heroic ex-
ample ever green in the hearts of all.
Since the day was last observed we
mourn the loss of hundreds of patriotic
heroes who lost their lives in our recent
war with Spain, and it would seem but
meet that the day next appointed
should meet with a more general OBJ
servance than any heretofore, and with
a spirit and reverence fully becoming
the occasion.
Now, therefore, /, Miguel A. Otero,
governor of the Territory of New Next
co. do recommend that upon Tuesday,
the 30th day of May, A. D.. 1899, the peo-
pie of the territory refrain from all un-
necessary labor and all public muse
ments, and join with the survivors OF
the Grand Army of the Republic in the
due observance of this day.
Let us on that day not only pay trib-
ute to the memory Of the heroic dead,
but have a thought and care for the
heroes who survive and are still among
us, remembering that duty to h sur
vivors is praise to the dead.
MIGUEL A. OTERO,
Governor of the Territory of New Mex

The Rio Grande Low.

There is not one-half the amount Of
water in the river that there was last
year this time, and the total discharge
for the season thus far has been only a
third Of last years. Nor does there
seem to be any prospect for better con-
ditions, as the snow in the northern
mountains is nearly all melted. Hydro
graphic Engineer Harroun ascribes the
scarcity of water to the prevalence of
high southerly winds that have caused
the snow to be ev%aporated.

WHERE 1T REALLY RAINS.
Truthful Tales of Heavy sprinklings Out
in Kansas.

Truthful Tales of Heavy sprinklings Out
in Kansas.
From the Topeka Mail.
reader in the East writes that there
has been a western Kansas man back
there telling them about the heavy
rains in western Kansas. The reader
says he is suspicious of the man and
thinks that his story is a lie. He says
he has always understood that little or
no rain falls in the western part of the
state, but that this western Kansas
man is telling story about 10 inches
of rain falling in half an hour. and
wants to know if there is any truth in
the statement. We have not kept track
of all the rains that have fallen in
western Kansas and, of course, cannot
say as to the particular fall of moisture
to which the man from Kansas refers.
We might say, however, that if the
impression prevails in the efete East
that it never rains in western Kansas,
it is a serious error. 1t is true that
there are spells of drouth when for sew
eral months there will not be sufficient
moisture fall to wet 2-cent postage
stamp, but when it gets ready to rain
out there the bottom seems to fall out
of the sky. The story is told Of a man
of Dodge City, when one of the show
| ers came up He was riding a buck
| board, which has a bottom made by
fastening the cleats between the axles
with spaces of half an inch between
the cleats. The rain fell SO fast that
| it could not run through the bottom of
| the blackboard as fast as it fell Rush.
| ing down the side of the divide the
water struck a barb wire fence and
| damned up until the water ran over
the top of the wire fence. This was be-
cause the rain came so fast that it
couldn't get through between the wires
| of the fence. On the same trip the
Traveller says he saw a jackrabbit drown
while it was jumping through the air.
The same traveller declares that within
half an hour the water was three feet
deep on the ridge and falling faster than
1t could run on both sides of the hill.
We have supposed that possibly the
traveller in his excitement might have
exaggerated, but there are residents in
| Dodge City who stand ready to prove
the truth Of the story by showing the
ridge where the blackboard stood dur
ing the rain and the place in the air
where the jackrabbit was when it
| drowned.

TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1899.
TWELVE PAGES.
With a Rush.

TT Is rather an unusual thing for the
sure" of the election in early June
of a speaker of the house of
representatives who, unless there
be an extra session, cannot be
even so much as the product of a re-
publican caucus until the first week of
next December AS far as the press
service avails, however, Mr.. Henderson
of Iowa is elected speaker right now;
that was the gist Of the information
given out in the, news of yesterday
morning, and the prophecy is that his
election will promptly be made unani-
nous.
The figures tabulated by states yes
terday morning give Mr.. Hender-
son 102 votes in the caucus of
republican house members, with
SO votes required for ma
jority. According to all accounts. the
Iowa man has swept the deck with as
much ease as if Mr.. Payne of New York
and Mr.. Sherman of New York had
never been even so much as seriously
mentioned in connection with the
speakership contest. The Henderson
boom moved, apparently, with an ire
sistible rush. Last week many of the
newspapers We're trying to entertain
their patrons with guesses as to
whether Mr.. Platt would be for Sher-
man or for Payne, when it came to the
show down. 1t doesn't seem to make
very much difference now what man
Plat is for-the indications are that
New York must be meekly for Mr. Hen
derson.
1t will be very unusual thing if the
figures that now mark Mr.. Henderson,
alleged majority are the sum and sub,
stance of the years speakership cam
paign; it will be a novelty if the sup.
port now claimed for him holds stead
fast until next December. Mr.. Hender
son is a native of Scotland but tina
doesn't interfere with his thorough
Amercanism. He was in this country
when he was six years old: he served
in the Union army during the civil
war; he lost a leg on the field of battle
He is a lawyer, but his time has bee,
much taken up with politics. He will
begin his ninth term of service, mex
December, as a member of the house O
representatives.
If Mr.. Henderson becomes speaker
he may be relied on to carry out tn
gold-standard policy to which, evident
ly, the Mckinley administration is pre-
pared fully to commit itself. In tn,
Fifty-fifth congress, which closed il!
career a few weeks ago, Mr.. Hender

Gus trips through the passes of the far
Northwest, of the difficulties of ice and
snow, but there has been nothing to APP
peal to the public like the old trip over
land through a wilderness where saw
the wonderful Transformation of the
sunshine, the descriptions of which read
like fairy tale and owed an addl-
tional fascination to the mystery of dis
lance.
The only points of resemblance be-
tween the old and the new are such as
give the latter no claim to more than
a passing notice. California and the
nearer West exhausted the theme OF
dollar turnips and exploited the pioneer
bar-room rufflan with such generosity
that anything the Klondike may say on
the subject must sound like a weak i'm
itation.
There is, in fact, no literary material
in the Alaskan episode that compares
with that which was furnished by CAL
ifornia, whether we consider the i'm
mediately obvious and vulgar or the
fanciful and sentimental. joaquin Mil
Ter tried to be impressed with his
Northwestern experience, but he had
not the inspiration of the days that
gave him and Bret Harte and Mark
Twain an impulse and mission which
remains the dominant influence, the alb
sorbng interest of their lives. Truly,
the romance of pioneering has disap-
peared to give way before the swift
advance of all the modern improve
mentS.

IT will not make the report of the
| Nicaraguan canal commission less
acceptable to the public that it has
followed the route selected by the
agents of the long-headed Commodore
Vanderbilt. The commission consists
of Rear Admiral Walker of the navy
department. Colonel Hams and Civil
Engineer Haupt. They all agree upon
the proper route, but differ as to the
estimate of cost. Rear Admiral Walker
and Civil Engineer Haupt believe the
canal can be built for Sis ,0OO, 900, while
Colonel Hams calculates the cost at
$135, 900, 900 The New York Herald
comments upon the curious coincidence
in the selection of the route, and says:
The line recommended is that selected
twenty-seven years ago by Commodore
E. P. Lull from the lake to Greytown,
and what is known as the Chiids route
from Brito to the lake. Although q
dozen lines between these latter points
have since been surveyed. it is signifi-
cant that the commission should now
adopt that selected by Childs in the

Pioneering Past and Present.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
The element of romance which at
taches to the argonauts of 1849 seems
to be entirely lacking in their Alaskan
successors. Several explanations may
be offered for this contrast. Perhaps
the most radical and convincing of
them concerns the change from indi-
Vidual to corporate enterprise in our
industrial system, which affects pion-
eerlng as it does every other business.
In the early days of California there
was comparatively little organization.
Each adVenturer had an even chance
against the others, and the capital that
was required by each was small lndi-
vidualsm had the freest play imagin-
able, independence was realized to an
extent that is hardly possible now. and
the imagination of the young men of
the East was continually stirred by
glowing accounts of what young men
could do in Ell Dorado with no resources
to speak of except health and strength.
But from the Klondike we have re-
ceived warnings rather than allurlng
invitations, in large part because the
free-fOr-all conditions do not exist, De
cause capital prevails over man, ana
the competition is between long purses,
1t Is fact, too, that there was
greater romantic interest in the old race
for gold, because the goal was, relative
ly speaking, more remote and OBSCURE

which Mrs. Maybrick was convicted
