Rocky Ford SPORTS.

Quite number of our citizens
attended the "sporty celebration"
of Memorial Day at Rocky Ford
last Wednesday. The Rocky Ford
Las Animas ball game resulted in
a victory for the former by score
of 8 to 7. The game was hard
fought throughout, and the Las
Animas boys are very sore over
their defeat. claiming they were
robbed by the umpire. They now
want to play the Rocky Ford ag-
gregation in La Junta, on neutral
territory, with an umpire selected
from this city. They declare their
willingness to wager "all kinds OF
money" on the result. This event
would be very strong attraction
for our Fourth of July celebration,
if the teams could be prevailed
upon to wait that long. The prize
fight at the opera house in the eve
ming resulted in Knockout, lack
Dempsey winning in the seven
teenth round.

Sugar City Seeming.

The new town of Sugar City, al
though an infant barely a month
old, is already the third largest
town in Otero county, and is maxi
ing wonderful progress. w. r.,
Gibson recently visited the pros.
pective beet sugar metropolis, and
informs the TRIBUNE that SIS, 900
worth Of new buildings have al
ready been erected. He took an
inventory Of the town, an enumera--
ton Of which is as follows:
About 1900 people; twenty-four
business houses, only three Of
which are not occupied; thirty four
residences; twelve buildings around
the beet sugar works, and about
three-fourths of the foundation
piers for the latter completed; 400
tents; four saloons, and one more
in prospect; two meat markets;
FIVE groceries and general stores;
one drug store; three doctors and
one lawyer. besides several board.
ing houses and restaurants in tents.
The people Of Sugar City are
nearly il not quite all recent arri-
walls in Otero county, and it would
be ! very wise thing for the mers
chants Of La Junta to cultivate
their acquaintance. Very few n
the residents Of this new town havs
probably ever heard Of La Juntl,

c. l.. Seeley started out yester-
day taking the United States cen
sus for his district, which includes
the FIVE voting precincts of La
Junta. He wears a handsome
German silver badge inscribed with
the words "United States Census,

with outspread wings. Mr.. Seeley
will ask one question which may
cause offense to some people who
have an idea that its nobody's bust
ness how old they are. Most OF

them, SO you might just as well

Decoration o.y In /. Jun...

Had any special effort on the
part of the weather clerk been put
forth no improvement could have
been made, so far as perfect and
delightful day is concerned, than
that of last Wednesday. A good
rain the night previous only served
to lay the dust and cool the atmos-
phere.
AT 10 o'clock members of the G.
A. r., w. II. c., and Arkansas
Valley Veterans Association, and
large number of friends and visi-
tors assembled in front OF G.. A. r.
headquarters, from whence, pre-
ceded by the Santa Fe Route Band,
the procession wended its way to
the silent city OF the dead, where
the last resting place OF not only
departed soldiers, but those OF rela-
tives and friends, were strewn with
flowers in great profusion.
After the closing exercises at the
cemetery the participants returned
to the city and adjourned to meet
in the opera house at p m.
Promptly at the hour the mem
bers of the Post, w. r. c. and
friends filed into the building until
nearly every seat was taken. Com
mander Gibbs called the house to
order, and after prayer by Rev. b.
F. Vaughan, the audience joined
in singing "America. The read
ing of Lincoln's famous Gettysburg
speech by Miss Grace Weatherby
was followed by recitation by the
Band Of Hope girls, under the su-
pervision of Mrs. Carlton. Ad-
dresses were made by G. M. Dam.

few brief remarks Rev. Vaughan
closed the exercises with a short
invocation and benediction.
Taking it all in all the day was
never more fittingly and approp-
riately observed in La Junta. Busi-
ness houses were closed, flags
floated at half mast from many
points and the element of society
which does so much to bring the
day into disrepute, sought refuge
in neighboring towns where ball
games, horse racing and prize
fighting were the principal attrac-
tions, ndlwhere it is hoped they
may always be welcomed on SINH
lar occasions.

Hands In His Report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. = Hearings
were continued today before the senate
commerce committee and the house COM
mittee in the merchant marine on the
proposed shipping or subsidy bill
]. C. Hanley. national organizer of the
Farmers Alliance and Industriaf union,
spoke against the bill before the house
committee on the ground that 1t gave
bounties for speed and capacity, whereas
the farming organizations favored boun-
ties based on the products actually ex-
ported. He said the organization he rep
resented would favor bounties of $12. .0O0.
0GO annually on freight outward carried.
The plan Of subsidies based on speed and
capacity was opposed. he said, because
1t would go largely to passenger vessels
and large ships. whereas the producers
We're interested only in having their
products go abroad.
Henry w. Peabody, Of Boston, having
business connections In London, Manila,
Sydney and In the Orient, opposed the bill
on the ground that any measure to ex-
tend our commerce should have more
general application and not be confined
to ships.

TECHNICAL EMBEzzLEMENT.
Charge Preferred Against Secretary
Gage in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The urgent
deficiency appropriation bill was taken
IN in the house today, under an agree
ment which limited the general debate
Tt was the general expectation that 1t
would open up a stormy debate upon the
question of expansion, In view or tne
large army and navy items 1t contains
but the members early became very much
enerossed In a discussion Of an item of
200 for rural free delivery, in which
ali are personally interested, and the
subject of expansion was barely touched
upon.
The last hour of the debate was enliven-
ed with an attack by Mr.. Richardson, the
minority leader, upon the secretary or
the treasury for his course in connection
with the sale of the New York custom
house He rehearsed the report tnal
Secretary Gage had been guilty technical
ly Of embezzlement in connection win the
sale of the custom housa, in depositing
the proceeds in national bank, which
was a government depository, instead of
the treasury of the United States, but
said this charge would not hold. HIS
purpose, he said, was 10 snow that the
CITY National bank had been favored on
account of the contributions of Its dl-
rectors to the Republican campaign fund
of 1896, and to show that the course OF
the secretary in allowing the purchase
price to remain in the bank While at the
same time paying rent for the property
and keeping it exempt from taxation was
not dealing fairly with the trust funds
Of the government.
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, championed the
course of the secretary, declaring that
his reply to the house resolution an
swered every charge brought against MIN,
and displayed business ability that must
meet the approval of all fair-minded peo'
ple. He insisted, furthermore, that the
title to the custom house passed to the
bank when it purchased and took pos
session of the property and that IL nao
not been exempt from taxation since II
had been purchased.
The debate caused very little excite
ment and there was no attempt to re
new the assault upon the secretary altet

committee letter from ex-senator Ed
munds, which in part was as follows:
Agreeable to your request l have ex-
amined all the treaties between the Unit
cd States and other countries on the
subject of the ships of other countries
being entitled to bounties on expectations
If the United States should grant boun-
ties to it's own ships, etc. The list here
with contains the names of countries
which by express provision of our trea-
ties would be entitled to have their ships
receive the same bounties for the ex-
portation of goods from the United States
that the United States may grant to its
own ships: Argentine Republic, Austria,
Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Denmark, Great Britain, Greece,
Hayti, Honduras, Italy. Japan, Mecklen-
berg-Schwerin, Mexico, Netherlands,
Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Prussia, Ser
via, Sweden and Norway"
Mr. Edmunds says that under these
treaties sit is impossible for the United
States to grant export bounties to their
own ships without bringing into the ben
efits Of the bounty the ships of nearly
all the commercial and maritime com
petttors OF the United States or else by
the aDrOG&tlOn Oh Quile- VI liSdiiy Oil tl.c
treaties above referred to-,
Mr.. Edmunds further says that 'ff a
bounty on exports is to be granted it must
apply TO all exports. 1t must ba impartial
and universal" He adds: A general
bounty on exports, If valid, must neces-
sarily be equal. value for value. and If
large enough to reach and benefit the
original producers and manufacturers
would be startling In amount.
FAST SHIPS A LOSS.
Mr.. element A. Griscrom, president of
The Imperial Navigation company, which
owns the American line of steamers, told
the senate committee that the New York,
St Paul, ST. Louis and Paris never male
the company dollar. He figured the
net loss TO the company at s4l5,ooo an
nually. The eleven ships under foreign
flags supported the other ships. The fast
ships, like fast trains, did not pay.
Mr.. Depew here stated that the late
Frank Thompson, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, had made careful fnyestiga-
ton of the subject and had informed the
senator that he had found that the fast
trains were run at loss.
Mr.. Griscrom continued by saying that

what is the position Of the president?"
inquired Mr.. Vest. He directed the
peace commission to take one island
Luzon-and afterward abandoned that
policy. He has since said the acquisition
Of the islands was an act of Providence
that we could not leave them as derelicts.
The fact is this whole question is in a
nebulous and foggy condition. disclaim
now any intention that my remarks
should reflect upon my country. But l
deny the right of any man to muzzle me
and restrain my right to express my
opinion. We have the bubonic plague,
added to leprosy, In Hawaii; we have
starvation in Puerto Rico; we have up-
rest and disquiet in Cuba, and we have
war of indefinite length in the Philip
pines. Is 1t treason to say this?"
PLEA FOR PUBLICITY.
In conclusion, referring to the Paris
treaty, Mr.. vest Saul WI mex tHoe

United States every man who voted for

senator knew then, as he knows now.
that we were paying s2o,0Oo,o0O for war
in the archipelago, the end of which
might not come In ten years.
II simply put before the senate and the
country this proposition: Are we to re-
main silent, refraining even from ordi-
nary criticism, as to the conduct of the
war for fear that we are to be denounced
as allies Of Aguinaldo and opposed to the
authority Of our own country"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Vests speech
the currency bill was laid before the SEN
ate. and Mr. McLaurin (Dem.. 8. CD ad-
dressed himself to an amendment which
he had offered to the pending measure.
He advocated the repeal of the law plac-
ing a. tax on state bank circulation and
permission to state banks to issue circu-
iating notes He maintained that the in
crease of the banking facilities would not
help the South and West II provided ac-
cording to the provisions of the bill. He
would have each state regulate its own

the tramp ships and slow freighters would
be benefited Under this bill, and would
maintain the faster ships. He said his
company did not propose to go out of
fast navigation They were In and in
tended to stay. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Griscrom said:
81 do not wish to make any statement
that may appear like threats, but this
fast service Of fast ships cannot be con-
tinued under the American flag after the
expiration of our present mail contract
upon the terms under which 1t Is now
running, and alt hope of continuing the
construction of such ships, which proved
so useful to the government in the Span
ish war, will inevitably cease"
He thought the amount of subsidy
named in the bill would accomplish the
object for which 1t was intended.

DANISH WEST INDIES.

Government Reluctant to Discuss
the Proposed Purchase.
WASHINGTON, Jam -16.-The arrival
at New York of an accredited agent OF
the Danish government charged with the
negotiations for the sale to the United
States Of the Danish West Indies islands
has not been notiffeds to the state de-
partment as yet. except through news
papers. There IS visible reluctance to
discussion of the question, leading to the
contention that a. free discussion might
seriously prejudice any attempt the ad-
ministration might have in contempla-
ton to secure the assent Of congress to
the purchase of the islands
