Beers hurried matters so that they
might erter Natal long In advance Of
the arrival of the British and make
themselves secure. Armed with rifles
and intrenched in bitches, the Beers
can stand off ten times their own num-
Der il a frontal attack, while they have
artillery with greater range than the
British cannon to prevent being shelled
out of the trenches, The British dare
not trust the ~colonials TO lead them in
secret Ranking movements, having been
BETRAYED In several Instances. They are
in ignorance of the Boer positions, the
losses of the enemy and their move
ments. while spies everywhere inform
the Beers Of British movements. AL
most every supposed surprise by the
British has turned out badly because
the Beers We're found prepared, having
converted what was intended for a sur
prise INTO an ambush for the British. In
many engagements the British have
seen no Beers. and have had simply to
fire at the line of flashes coming from
bitches sunk in grassy plains. The
Beers have practically established a
dead line, buried themselves in the
ground i'm sufficient numbers to com-
man} the line, and slaughtered the
British whenever they essayed to cross.

ascending a hill and fighting as tlercely
as ever soldiers fought, driving the
British from trenches which had been
taken when left exposed. This action
indicates that when the supreme mo-
mCnt arrives the Beers will not fail to
come into direct contact if necessary,
but in the meantime they are saving
their forces and potting the enemy
without mercy.

Texas Stockmen Greedy.

Texas cattlemen who participated ir
the proceedings of the National Live
stock Association and enabled the pas
sage of a resolution in favor of a lease
law are receiving deserved criticism
There We're at the convention about $50
delegates, and about 500 votes cast, anC
the majority in favor of the resolution
was less than 100. The delegate from
New York stated that-in his state there
was no land to be leased, and that the
states having public lands should set
tie the matter, and that he would not
vote on the question. All the rest of
he states east of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers that were represented
voted generally or almost unanimously
for the resolution, and Texas, with her
100 votes, voted solidly for the resolu-
ton, while the states west of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi voted by a large
majority against the resolution. Texas
never had any government land within
the state; had she done as New York
did, the resolution would have been
voted down. Of course, Texas has ev-
erything to gain by a lease law and
nothing to lose. A lease law will result
in Texans getting the range il several
counties of New Mexico.

The Press on Statehood.

There has been no expressed Opposi-
tion to statehood during the present
year from any newspapers in the ter
ritory except two or three that are OPP
posed to any measure in that direction
which they think would strengthen the
Republican party in the territory, and
one Republican paper which has not
changed the view it held upon this sub
ject a dozen years ago. In the mean
time the people Of the territory have
not been stationary in their views, but
have progressed, and the great major
ity are now in favor of statehood re-
CARELESS of the immediate effect upon
parties in New Mexico. While there are
several newspapers that oppose the
measure for Official reasons, the time
will never come when there will not be
such opposition. More Democratic pa
pers advise for statehood than there are
opponents of the proposition. The Tu-
isrosa Democrat, the San Juan Times
and the Springer Stockman, for in
stance, are on the right side of this
question.

ALL For a Canal.

There is no general opposition now tc
the construction of a canal across the
dsthmus in Nicaragua. for even tine leg
islature of California voted down last
week a resolution in opposition to the
work. Until recently the Southern Pa
cifc Railway Company has opposed the
canal enterprise, and consequently has
NO permitted California legislatures tc
indorse the proposition. Lately Coils
P. Huntington is said to have decided
that a canal would build up local bust
ness enough on the coast to pay him for
losses on traffic over his railway and
steamship lines due to the canal fur
Wishing cheaper transportation. This
confession came about the time that
the shrewd railway president discov-
cred that there was no hope of tying
the hands Of congress and the president
In this matter, as he did with President
Cleveland. That perhaps accounts for
b failure of the legislature in Califor-
ma to go on record as against the canal.

|French's Feat.

The British appeared yesterday to
have scored a point and relieved Kim
berlsy. or at least reached that place.
But to-day may bring q story about
General French's force being unable to
carry supplies to Kimberley, and If
they have not done so it Is difficult to
= how their presence will be of serv-
bee to their countrymen if there are
more mouths to feed and NO additional
provisions in the garrison. The dis
watches did not give enlightenment up
On this point, although telling of an at
rack upon the convoy of Gen. French.
This relief might turf out as at San
t1ago, where the advent of more troops
MsArt more distress for those already
thsre and more captives to be taken
OF by the victorious army. There
have been so many strings to alleged
Dr1tfeh advances heretofore that the
DNblic will naturally mot be surprised
~ receive a modified account of the
sAanpaign around Kimberley, although

The cattleinen, who had shipped from
those sections or WHO drove to AM
arilla and adjacent points, at once be-
gan sending to market or to northern
pastures over the new route. Never b.
fore did q railway company secure
such a large cattle business in SO phe-
nomenally short a time. The reason
is obvious. The line is the shortest
reaching Kansas City from the south
West. Almost as soon as the road was
open for traffic the herd owners be
gan to remove to Carlsbad from many
Texas towns, and that place became an
immense shipping point, while wealthy
breeders lost no time in securing the old
the newer ones lower down the valley
as breeding farms and for forage with
which to prepare cattle for the market,
AS q result of the great traffic the
route gained President Hagerman very
soon had his own pledged securities
out of the hands of parties who might
have secured control Of the o. a had
his expectations Of business not been
SO quickly realized. While the ener-
getic promoter was enabled before con-
structing the northeastern end of the
railway to make satisfactory arrange
menits with the Santa Fe Railway
company, and With the Colorado and
Southern, extending from the juno
tion of Amarillo to Fort Worth and
Denver, for the cattle traffic, he how
ever found that he still could not do
through business on the Pecos line to
Ell Paso, the entry point to the great
trade with Mexico, and the railway GEN.
ter of the southwest. through which not
only goes the traffic with Mexico, but
largely that of Arizona and California.
HEADED FOR Ell PASO.
That having gone SO far with his en-
terprise he would be satisfied to allow
the Pecos Valley railway to be a mere
feeder for other lines. and the local
mainstay of a section of country which
it could help Still more by securing in
utDtllltIll CDlIlltCllpIl Nllll an lill)ol
tant center, NONE believed who knew
Of the persistence of this builder. II
was not surprising then for those who
have watched his course in New Mex
leo to learn recently that he would
head his railway for Ell Paso. The
statement that he had surveyors Sc
Letting "a Route from the Pdcos valley
to FL Paso has, upon investigation,
proved to be true. That end of his
route he proposes to swing loose from
any affilia tion>or dependence upon any
other road. The road will probably be
between the Sacramento and Guada-
lupe mountains, reducing the present
railway distance from Pecos valley
towns to Ell Paso at least one-half,
When the lime reaches Ell Paso, it will
be in the field for a share of the bust
ness of Mexico and California, and be
able Ito secure arrangements for
through passengers and freight traffic
because the Santa Fe will wish to have
a share of the business which the new
road can take from the Texas and
Pacific and the Southern Pacific, be-
cause it will make a days journey less
to eastern points than amy other road.
The extension OF the Pecos Valley
railway will be of local advantage to
THE Pecos valley as we'll as of import
ance in making the line one of the
routes for through California and Mex
leo travel.

British at a DISADVANTAGE.

The British in Natal have to work in
the dark, so to speak, because they have
no military maps Of the hills and DO
sltions where the campaign is going on.
They know more about the Transvaal
country because they contemplated it's
invasion, but never anticipated that
Natal would be the scene of the war
with the burghers of the Transvaal.
The latter, however, have long planned
for the contest to occur In Natal. and
that Is why they forced the issue while
Great Britain was dally1ng in order to
get her armies ready for invasion. The

1t is not likely that the Pueblos along

will use violence to interfere with the
enterprise sanctioned by the law and

declared will not result in hardship to

made threats and pleaded that they
will be wronged. Their side Of the mat
