permanent bond of Territorial Auditor
Luis NJ Ortiz is still corresponding with
reference to certain legal technicali-
ties that must be complied with before
the organization can do business in
| New Mexico. Under date of May 25 So
licitor General Edward L. Bartlett has
given to the auditor an opinion, as fol-
lows
"Your favor of this date, inclosing
| letter of inquiry from the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland, asking
my opinion as to the preliminaries re-
quired to enable such company to do
business in this territory under the act
of the thirty-third legislative assembly
of this territory approved March Is,
| 1899, is received; and in reply, would
say: The act in question, being enti-
! tied an act in reference to recogni-
zances, bonds, stipulations required by
the laws of New Mexico and for other
purposes and passed for the purpose of
permitting surety companies which had
qualified as such under the act of con-
gress, approved August 13, 1894, to car
ry on business in this territory, in sec
tion 6 provides that all such corpora
tions doing business in the territory
shall be considered and taken to be in
surance companies within the intent
and meaning of sections 21l4, 2115 and
PIG Of the compiled laws of 1897, and by
expressly designating these sections by
implication excludes from the operation
of the new act the other sections with
reference to insurance companies, as
not being applicable to surety compa-
nies; therefore, these sections men
toned are the only ones Of the insur-
ance law applicable to surety compa-
MES.
"Section l of the act, however, pro-
vides that such corporation, If not in
corporated under the laws of the terri
tory of New Mexico shall. in addition
to the certificate provided for in the
act of congress, also comply with the
laws of this territory, authorizing for
eign corporations to do business in this
territory and I think this section re-
quires that such company should, in
addition to filing it's charter, etc, with
the auditor, comply with the provisions
of section 445 of the compiled laws of
1897, by filing in the Office of the secre-
tary of the territory, and also in the
office of the probate clerk of the county
in which the principal place of business
is located, copy Of it's charter and of
the law under which it is organized,
and certificate designating it's princi-
pal place Of business and an authorized
agent thereat, upon whom process shall
be served. In this, confirm the opin-
ion given you on the 7th inst. by Mr..
r. G. Gortner, district attorney Of the
first district"

Inspecting Homestead Entries.

Special Agent Max Pracht, of the
general land Office has returned from
trip to Clayton where he Investigated
homestead entries in that vicinity. He
reports much activity In cattle ship
ments. 1t is rumored along the line of
the Colorado and Southern that the
Santa Fe interest has secured control of
the line to Texas and will extend it to
New Orleans via Alexandria. There is
but one daily passenger train on the
New Mexico portion of the road
The agent was prevented from eX-
tending his journey to Folsom, on this
trip, because he was refused permission
to ride on a freight train to save time.
Other railways in New Mexico grant
this privilege to the special agents, and
assist in expediting settlement of land
troubles along their lines.

A CONEY ISLAND FIRE.
The Wooden Portion of the Famous Resor
DESTROYED,

New York, May ga fire started
early to-day in Buschman's pavilion,
Coney island, and spread rapidly until
many frame buildings had been de-
stroyed. A conservative estimate places
the loss at $3500O0. Policeman Thomas
Lynch, Fireman George Taggart and
William Aldrich were painfully burned
while rousing sleeping occupants Of
several threatened buildings. Richard
Downs and William Durkin, IS and Is
years old respectively who were asleep
in the Zaza hotel, were severely burned
The police believe the fire was of incen-
diary origin. Deputy Battalion Chief
Kirkpatrick, Of the fire department,
discovered traces Of kerosene along the
board walk in front Of one Of the
burned buildings. The buildings burned
were photograph galleries, saloons,
dining rooms, dance halls, theaters and
the like.
In all, 200 buildings were destroyed
The police estimate the loss at $750,000,
but this is probably excessive, as the
structures were of a fiimsy character.

TOO FEW TROOPS
American Forces Drive Rebels
Away, But They Come
Back Soon.
THEY HARASS GARRISONS
The Bushwhackers Attack Scouting Par
ties and Detached Companies and
Do Damage.

Manila, May 26.-Events of the past
few weeks have emphasized the need
of much larger army here, without
which. according to the best authori-
ties in Manila, it would be attempting
the impossible to expect to maintain
supremacy in the Philippine islands.
Inadequacy of the American, forces is
said to be responsible for large loss
in number Of small encounters, with
out material results as compensation.
Most of the fighting has been in the
territory which the Americans swept,
but have been unable to hold because
they could not spare the troops to hold
it. The insurgents are occupying the
same towns that the Americans aban-
doned, and camping in jungles and
woods outside of others, on the watch
for chances to harrass garrisons and
attack scouting parties or detached
companies with greater forces.

The following poem was written b,
one Of the gentlemen stranded in Viii
liston during the recent tie-up Of train
here by high water, and we publish i
by request:
Waiting on the banks of the muddy Missou,
We are Jolly, yet Impatient water bound crew
Consisting of men, women and children 0
every nation,
All anxious to reach their future destination.
How to pass the time Is perpleXing indeed
We all mix up regardless OF nation or creed.
Among others are widows as gay as lark,
Who chat with the boys in the halls after dark
Aud time glides on as in bye-gone days,
Forsettul of the shadows of night, or sunset
rays.
The Young girls take Il wider range
AS often as the weather, their sweet hearts
change.
In the spring when the red birds come,
Remember the Watcll word is, mum, mum, mum
Hear their low voices! TO be sure you are Ger
Just quietly peep through the folds Of the cur
tain.
Since the red bird has flown up the river,
The town is laid ont on a sandy plain
Swept by the dust for the want of rain.
The buildings nre built of log, wood and brick
Aud i'll part of The town they are very thick.
And SO are the dogs who bark and run,
Theytire like the breeds and bask i'm the sun.
Here the same sun cheers the hearts Of man.
He;e the same bright stars gladden. again.
Here's the cheerful moon with smiling face,
10 gladden. the hearts of every race.
And here on this barren plain of sand
We meet kind hearts In woman and man.
Though tirrsome waiting this monotonous spell
Long we ii remember the Great Northern Hotel
For our hostess so kind and daughters 80 jolly
Wen entwineA u wreath of ayHOwer and holly
nd in after years, when old and gray,
Will often recall this water bound stay.
