Eadettes Woman's Orchestra.

Despite the blizzard having hit US
hard a large and exceedingly repre-
sentative audience greetedthe Fadettes
Woman's Orchestra at the Courthouse
Saturday night Feb. 18th. To say
the least, the music rendered by this
orchestra was superb, and it is the pop
tular verdict that it is without doubt
the most magnificent musical aggrega-
cation that has ever performed here.
Each member was roundly encored
and the popular Southern melodies
caused an electrical thrill to pervade
the auditorium. The Woman's
Orchestra has scored a triumph and
should they ever return they will be
given a royal reception. Miss Lillian
Chambers violin playing was superb
and she was heartily eneored.

job is done. 1t will soon pack and
become as firm as the old road. Some

Dominion Miners Trespass on United
States Soil and Are Driven
Across the Line.
4 KILLED, OTHERS WOUNDED
Canadian Mounted Police Have the Assur-
ance to Raise Their Flags on American
Soil, Hence the Trouble More
Fighting Expected.

New York, March IA special to
the World from Vancouver, b. c., says
that Carl Slummerfelt, a German, who
was passenger on the steamer Lees
from Lynn canal, brought news of a
battle between American and Canadian
miners, few miles off Dalton trail.
-Four men are reported killed outright,
and number of others were seriously
wounded. When the alien mining law
of British Columbia was enforced few
months ago, the American miners left
Allan, the new Canadian gold district
and found on Porcupine river rich plac-
ers, in American territory. The Cana
dian mounted police, waved the Cana
dian flag from Mount Pleasant. and
were followed by the Canadian miners,
who located good claims. A hundred
American miners decided to send notice
to all Canadians to leave the country
within five days. No heed was paid to
this. Slummerfelt says that early on
the morning of the sixth day, the Ameri
can miners proceeded to the Canadian
camp. II don't believe they intended
bloodshed, although fully armed. Be-
fore they could even state the object of
their visit, the shooting began and the
Canadians fled across the border
heard squad of Canadian northwest
mounted police had left Lake Tagish
for Porcupine, and as the Americans are
determined, fear there will be anot her
conflict"

Washington. March l7.-Advices from

not discuss the details Of the dispatches.
Indications are that hostilities will end
within a short time. President Nc

MORE ARTILLERY FOR OTIS.
Washington, March 17.-The War de-
partment has ordered for General Otis
three light batteries and half dozen
Hotchkiss guns to be used as mountain
batteries. The general cabled last even
ing for these, saying that II horses
should accompany the three batteries.
These batteries are needed where it is
impossible to move the heavy artillery
now in the Philippines.
MOSQUITO FLEET PREPARING.
Washington, March 1.-THE Navy de-
partment is taking steps toward the
formation of mosquito fleet for the
Philippines. The conditions prevailing
in Luzon indicate that for long time
it will be necessary to maintain strict
police surveillance over the coast and
inland waters. For inland work the de-
partment will need light draft boats,
and it proposes to send tugs up the
Alaskan coast and down through the
Alutian islands to Hakedota, the north
ern point of Japan. Thence they can
run across the China sea to Hongkong,
and thence to the Philippines.

THE CITY ELECTION.
Good Men Must Be Nominated for Mayor
and Councilmen by the Republicans
Taxpayers Should Receive Some
Return for Their Money,

The city election is approaching, and
the people will soon be called upon to
chose municipal officers for the ensuing
year. There is nc use Of mincng mat
ters concerning the city government.
Something must be done to straighten
ont the finances. some action must be
taken which will insure the taxpayers
some return. some benefit for the money
paid into the treasury, and there must
be change in officials to that extent
that laws and ordinances will be en-
forced, that every citizen will receive
just and fair treatment.
There is but one way to accomplish
the needed reforms in the city govern
lent, and hat is to elect men who are
competent to fill the offices. men who
will do their duty regardless Of all con-
siderations, aside from the welfare Of
Santa Fe. The Republicans, in their
nominations for mayor. councilmen and
clerk. must lay aside all personal feel
ing and unite on the very best men in
the city for these positions. Unless this
is done, city affairs are going to grow
worse instead of better.
