prise to q number of Ell Paso people to
learn that valuable goods stolen from
them on New'Year's eve, 1894, will in
all obabiIity be recovered and re-
stored 70 them.
All residents of Ei Paso at the time
will remember the startling robbery of
Geo. w. Hickox & HixsOn's Jewell

of the railroad stocks rising above yes

was a rather urgent demand from the

All grades of stocks were thrown up
on the market during the day as the

to the weakness than the general list

PREMIERSHIP IN THE PACIFIC

PREMl ERSH1P IN THE PACIFIC
Russia, Japan, the United States. and
Great Britain are the four protagonists
for premiership in the Pacific Germany
and France possess opportunities for
annoyance, but hegemony can be theirs
In only the smallest degrees. Just as
France in New Caledonia is thorn in
the side of Australia, so Germany in the
Carolines has placed herself athwart
the American line of communication
between San Francisco and the Philip
pines. If the next great struggle is to
be between Germany and America as
Admiral Dewey thinks, the Americans
will realize their mistake in allowing
Germany to acquire the remnant of
Spanish dominion in the Pacific. But
beyond that Germany can do little.
Unless she is able materially to aug
ment her present possessiors she can
not hope to be In the running for a
leading place in the Pacific. In Amer
lea, the idea already obtains that the
United States are the paramount Power
between the Chinese and the American
seaboards, and that the destiny of the
Pacific is to be an American lake But
the talk in which some leading officials
and politicians in Washington are in
dulging is as the prattle of child ex-
cited by pop-gun. America can only
acquire the authority che seeks in the
Pacific by an alliance with Japan or
Russia. But Japan leans toward Great
Britain. The Americans, therefore,
turn to Russia, the powerful magnet
which seems to attract republicans ir-
resistibly and the Russo American
combination is not possibility. Russia
will tap the natural wealth Of Siberia
and northern China, She will find the
sinews both of war and commerce in
the one, and the raw material of con-
siderable naval forces in the teeming
population of the other In the I'M
likely event of a Russo American alli-
ance in the Pacific, Japan and Great
Britain will be driven together by need
of mutual protection. Japan, with con-
tinued organization and a measure of
good fortune, cannot wholly fail to Sc
cure a large voice in Pacific destiniee
The incursion of Western Powers has
robbed her of the position Of ascendancy
and independence to which she would
have attained as the result of her adop-
ton of Western methods, and the yell
low race will only now be able to assert |
itself in the Pacific in league with, or
under the domination of the white race. |
Japan recognizes two things that at
the moment Great Britain is the para
mount power in the Pacific is the para
