OUR couNTRy,s GREATNESS.

The average American is proud OF
his country. He knows that he is a
citizen OF the greatest nation on the
face of the earth and he is prepared to
back up his judgment against any and
all corners. But how many of us truly
realize how very great our beloved
United States has become in this clos.
ing decade of the nineteenth century,
Our wheat crop in 1898 was larger
than that of any other nation-23 per
cent of the world crop.
Our corn crop for the same year was
ten times larger than that of any other
nation-73 per cent OF the world S crop.
Our export of provisions was three
times greater than that OF any other
nation.
Our cotton crop was five times great
er than that of any other nation-75
per cent of the world S product.
Our coal last year exceeded the pro-
duction of any other nation-3l per
cent of the world s production.
Our pig iron production last year ex-
ceeded that of any other nation-33
per cent of the worlds production.
Our copper production was more
than one-half of that OF the whole
world.
Our railroads were six times the
length Of those of any other nation.
The comparison could be continued
much further, but enough instances of
our superiority have been cited to sat
isfy the most conceited American. 1t
is also true that the nations of Europe
are awaking to the true situation with
a startled jump. AS a result of this
enormous commercial growth, the Unit.
ed States has been forced to seek mar
kets abroad. Started as an experiment
in government, we have grown through
the successive stages of development
until to-day we find ourselves rubbing
shoulders with the other commercial
nations in every corner of the globe.
From now henceforth the United States
is ''world power, and as such has
entered wider field of responsibility
Influence and diplomacy than she has
ever occupied before. There was day
when we would have had no interest in
the present Chinese troubles beyond
the personal safety of our representa-
tiyes. To-day the multifarious Ameri-
can interests at stake in the Flowery
Kingdom demand that We shall take
no uncertain part, not only in restoring
order, but also in the final settlement
of the trouble. Commercial expansion
and International competition for trade
are as sure to bring international COM
plications as night is sure to follow day.
Shall we draw back in terror at the
dangers which are ahead? 1t would be
as impossible as to turn the current of
the Mississippi back upon its source.
In these closing years of the nineteenth
century new epoch of American his
tory has begun. Where the outcome
will be we will leave to the chroniclers
of the future.

HORSES AND MULES.
What an Eastern Buyer Says OF
the Market.

NJ. L. Hubbard, of the firm of Hub
bard & Thompson, Eau Claire, Wis,
was in Eureka several days this week
buying horses and mules for the East
ern markets. He purchased all of Thos.
Dixon's mules, numbering one hundred
or more and also agreed to take all the
horses of certain grade that can be
rounded up within given period.
With regard to the present demand
for horses Mr.. Hubbard says it is pure
ly speculative. His firm ships the ami
mails to the larger Eastern cities, and
disposes of them in carload lots at
auction to smaller dealers, who in turn
take them to the agricultural districts
and sell them to individual buyers. For
this reason he only wants animals suit
able for draft purposes and general
farm work, but size is not so much an
object as the condition in which they
are in. To Withstand the long journey
and reach their destination so that they
will sell the animals must be fat, and
this is the chief requirement which the
buyer insists upon.
Mr.. Hubbard says his firm has OK
pended in Nevada this season for horses,
expenses, etc. over 500, 900, and he is
we'll satisfied with the grade of animals
he has secured in the State. The Sep
TENDER shipment will close the business
for this year and it is not likely that
next season the demand will be as great.
A few years ago horses were so cheap
that the farmers and breeders of the
East raised practically no colts, but
now with prices advancing they are all
going back into the business. Sentinel.

Col. Marshall, U. S. A., has been
buying horses in this State for the use
of Uncle Sans troops in China. Four
carloads were purchased at Battle
Mountain and three carloads near
Wells last week. To all appearances this
new source of demand for the western
bronco is likely to develop to large pro-
nortions and unless the present trouble
in China is brought to sudden termi-
nation. the agents, net alone OF our
o,.n government. but also OF the ma
tions of Europe, will be securing the
whole Pacific slope in short time Tor
suitable cavalry horses.

To Be Entirely RemOdeled, With
an Expenditure Of Thirty
Thousand Dollars.
WORK TO COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY.
When Plans Are Carried Out There Will
be Accommodations for Two Hun
dred Patients Many Additions
to Equipment.

In short while there will be COM
menced at the United States Marine
Consnmptive Sanitarium at Fort Stan
ton, New Mexico, great many i'm
provements, made possible by the APP
preparation of $780, 900 at the last session
of congress for that purpose, and which
is now In the hands of DIR. J. o. Cobb,
surgeon of the United States marine
hospital service, who is in charge OF the
hospital at that place, for disbursement.
This amount is separate and apart from
the sum already expended for laundry,
sterilizing, refrigerating and electric
light machinery, which is now upon the
grounds and will soon be in place.
Government Architect Thomas is at
Fort Stanton and has already completed
the plans and specifications for the en-
tire remodellng of the old barracks and
other buildings. After these improve
ments have been made, the buildings
will be practically new, as everything
will be remodeled from top to bottom.
A reading room, recreation room and
laboratory, which will be one OF the most
complete in existence devoted to the
treatment of tuberculosis, will be added
to the equipment under this appropria-
tion. When the plans are carried out
there will be Accommodations for 200
patients at the sanitarium. The work
will begin shortly and will probably be
completed inside of the next three
months. In addition to the above i'm
provements, the grounds will also be
beautitied, and DIR. Cobb has recon-
mended that funds be appropriated for
the purpose of drilling for artesan
water on the reservation.
These improvements mean great
deal for that section of the country, and
are great step forward in the line of
successful climatic treatment OF tuber.
culOsis. The results obtained during
the past year at Fort Stanton in the
treatment of this disease so far exceed
ed expectations that, what was at first
more or less of an experiment, has re-
solved itself into permanent institu-
tion that will work marvels In the cure
of consumption. The sanitarium was
placed IN its present location only after
years of careful study and the gather
ing of exhaustive data upon climatic
conditions at all points throughout the
United States and the expenditure OF
large sums of money, and it is gratifying
to learn that the improvements are to
be made and that, without doubt, the
institution will be permanent.

Activity in the JarilIas.

Major W. II. II. Llewellyn, district at
tOrney for the third judicial district, ar
rived In AlamOgOrdo from Las Cruces
Thursday and left for home Saturday.
The Major took part in the organization
of the Sacramento Masonic Lodge
Thursday aud also in ceremonies at
tendant upon the laying Of the corner
stones Of the New Mexico Baptist Col
lege and the public school building
Friday. When asked about matters in
the Jarllla mining district, where he is
largely interested, he said:
"There is better feeling in that dis
trict now than there ever has been,
owing to increased activity on the part
of a great many Of the owners of pro-
perty there. A majority of the claim
owners are at work getting out shipping
ore, instead of standing around idle and
asking fabulous prices for their claims,
no matter If they only possessed a
prospect hole, as was formerly the rule.
This is very good indication and |
predict that the shipments of ore from
the district will continue to increase
steadily until the Jarillas will become
one OF the best producing camps in the
southwest.
George Lynch, deputy United States
mineral surveyor, has commenced the
survey OF the Alabama group of five
claims for the Alabama Gold & Copper
Mining company, preparatory to that
company obtaining patents for them.
''The Philadelphia company is just
completing large structure to be used
as boarding and bunk house and office
at Perkville. They are also running an
incline to the south from the bottom of
their sixty foot shaft, and have encoun-
tered very good ore.
"The Kelley Brothers, who recently
purchased leases and property from
Christ Yaeger, loaded and shipped two
cars of ore at the switch at the Lucky
Mine this week. They have ordered
hoisting machinery for their properties
and it will soon be in place, and by
October 1st they will be shipping on an
average of one car per day from the
JariIlas.
''Work is being pushed rapidly on the
Monarch mine, and they will soon be
down to the $50 #. level, which will
place them in position by the first Of
the month to ship one car day from
this property There is also good deal
of work being done at the north end of
the Jarillas, where Charles O'Neill and
his associates are operating
IA great many applications for pa
tents to property In this district will be
made this fall and winter"

warned.
The southeastern sky was sombre, the
gulf beat high on the beach with that
dismal, thuEderous roar that presaged
trouble; while the air had that stiffness
that betokens storm.
From the outskirts of the north, in
the middle watches of the night the
wind began to come in spiteful puffS,
Increasing in volume as the day dawned
by 10 o'clock Saturday morning it was
almost gale; at noon it had increased
in velocity and was driving rain, whip
ping pools and tearing things up in a
lively manner, yet no serious apprehen-
sion was felt by the residents remote
from the encroachments of the gulf.
Already thousands were brave.y
struggling with their families against
the mad waves and fierGc- wind for
places of refuge. The1 public school
buildings, court house, hotels, in fact
any place that offered an apparently
safe refuge from the elements became
crowded to their utmost.
AT two minutes of 6:30 p. M, just be-
fore the thermometer blew away, the
wind had reached the frightful velocity
of 100 miles an hour. Buildings that
hitherto had stood, tumbled and crash.
ed, carrying death and destruction to
hundreds of people. Roofs sailed
through the air, windows were driven
In with crash or shattered by flying
slate. Telegraph, telephone and cleo
trio light poles, with their mass of wires
were snapped off like pipe stems and
water-pipes were broken.
What velocity the wind attained after
the thermometer blew off is purely a
matter OF speculation. The lowest
point touched by the barometer in the
press correspondents office, which was
filled by frightened men and women
was 2s O415. This was about p. m.
1t then began to rise very slowly and
by 10 p. m. had reached - 90. The
wind gradually subsidized and by mid
night the storm had passed.
The water, which had reached d
depth OF eight feet on the Strand ut II
o'clock p. m. began to ebb and ran ou
very rapidly and by q. IN. the crown
OF the street was free of water. Thu
passed out one of the most frlghtful ant
destructive storms which ever devas
tated the coast Of Texas.

dreds of victims. Whole families are
side by side. The city beach in the south
western part of the city was under ten
feet OF water and the barracks, located
there, are destroyed, the soldiers having
mirsculously escaped from drowning.
Many substantial residences in the
western and southwestern part Of the
city were destroyed. The death list
from there will be large. A heavy NOR
tality list is expected among the resi-
dents down the island and adjacent on
the mainland, as both we're deeply
flooded and the houses were to great
extent insecure.
The heaviest losers by the storm will
be the Galveston Wharf company, the
Southern Pacific and Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe railways and the Texas Leaf
Star Flooring Co.
West of Thirty-third street, the storm
swept the ground perfectly clear of
residences and piled them up for five
blocks back on the beach, strewing pill
ing with the debris and the bodies of
victims.
The fearful wreck of the storm was
not confined to the district along the
beach, but took half the city district and
the Denver resurvey, but it was in the
vicinity of the beach that the most des-
truction of human life occurred.
Governor Savers has placed Galveston
city and the island under martial law,
and has wired all the cities for help for
Galveston. Promptness, he says, is very
necessary for the suffering, loss of life
and destruction of property is terrible.
Orders have been issued by the war
department for the immediate shipment
to Galveston of tents and ratiOns from
San Antonio and st. Louis.
A dispatch from Dallas says the Hous-
ton and Texas Central railway offices
have received bulletins from the general
offices in Houston that the loss of life
will reach 1900 in Galveston. The rail-
way relief forces near Galveston and
along the coast send word that the total
loss of life from the storm along the
coast will be at least 5000 and possibly
as much as 10000.
Latest advices state that order is be-
ing brought out of chaos, and something
like systematic attempt is being made
to clear the debris and remove the dead.
ldlers are being pressed into service at
the point of the bayOnet and made to
work, and a military Gordon is being
drawn tighter around the place. Sup
plies are coming in from Houston and
communication with the outside world
has been obtained.
A force is working on the railroads,
and in few days the people of Calves
ton believe the situation will be greatly
improved.
