Decided Against the Govern ent.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 2.-Colonel War
rem Sutton, the associate counsel for
the government In the Elephant Butte
Dam case, recently tried at Las Cruces,
n. NJ, received telegram last night
from District Attorney Childers saying
that the finding was against the gov
eminent. This means that unless the
higher court reverses the decision the
English company will be permitted to
60 ahead and build its big dam at
Elephant Butte, n NJ. 1875 miles north
Of Ell Paso, and supply water for ir-
hgation purposes to this entire sec
ton, both in American and Mexican
territory. Colonel Sutton announces
that the government will appeal and
again take the case to the territorial
and the United States supreme court.

Berry was surprised when Mr..
Lees of the Samuel Lees Company,
walked into the station with full
kit of burglars tools. Mr.. Lees
found this kit in the store this
morning when he opened it and
there was no other evidence of any
one having been in the store until
he made a close examination of the
safe, where he found half-inch
hole had been drilled. There was
also lying on the top of his desk
material to make explosives of.
There is no evidence to show how

citizens stood In line at the White
House gates yesterday waiting to pay
their respects to the president of the
United States, after the brilliant Of

Beginning promptly at II a. M, the

The NOnonSnhrIa Ice Locked.

Pittsburg, Jan. 2.-The Monongahela
river above the city limits of Pitts
burg was ice locked yesterday and the
large manufacturing plants along thu
river were compelled to receive their
enormous tonnage of coal by rail. AL
most all depend for their supply upon
towboats that they either own or con-
troll through contracts. The promise
of continued cold gives no hope OF i'm
mediate relief and railroad yards, that
have been taxed to their capacity for
some time with the movement of
freight, will be compelled to add one
more burden. In some places the ice
is reported to be from to IL inches.

yesterday, when two battalions Of the

A PRINcELY NEW YEARS GIFT.
Chicago University In Richer by
nearly Four million Dollars.


Nearly Four Million Dollars.
Chicago, Jan. 2.-The University OF
Chicago has received New Years
gift Of s3,370,000. President Harper
made the announcement today at the
quarterly convocation Of the university
in Studebaker Hall. The president
hoped to announce that the university
would be 100000 richer, but he has
not been able to raise the $315,OOO,
which, duplicated by John d. Rookie
Teller, would make up that amount.
However, Mr.. Rockefeller has wired
that he will extend the limit three
months, and in that time DR.. Harper
thinks he is reasonably sure of get
ting the rest of the money, as he has
several large donations in prospect.
Four years ago Mr.. Rockefeller gave
the university 100000 and promised
to duplicate every amount donated be-
fore Jan. l, 190O up to 50 10000. One
year ago DR.. Harper had secured ST.,
1864 from various sources to apply
on the $1,000, 009 Since then this
amount has been raised s550,00O.

An Accountable New Years GIFT.

Baltimore Jan 2.-Employes of the
Western Maryland railroad received an
acceptable New Years gift yesterday
in the shape Of per cent increase in
wages. In 1893. owing to the then
financial depression, wages were re-
duced 10 per cent, with the promise
that they should be restored as soon as
financial conditions warranted. Early
in 1898 one-half of the cut was re-
stored, and yesterday they were put
back to the original schedule.
