INCONGRESS
The HoziDq Case Will be lnvestl.
GATED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
house today discussed the Booze
hazing case at West Point and reso-
luton was introduced to have con-
gress to investigate it by the appoint
ment of committee. A spirited de-
bate followed and the resolution was
finally agreed to.
The house then considered aopro-
priation bill.
The senate convened at noon, with
a large attendance in both galleries
the people expecting a debate on the
ship SUBSIDY bill.
The oleo bill came over from the
house and was laid on the table. Mason
gave notice that he would speak on the
pure food bill next week.
An effort was made to get the Clark
senatorial contest resolution before the
privileges and elections committee
empowering them to take further tes-
timony. This failed and private pen
sion bills were taken up.
When the senate adjourns it will be
till tomorrow afternoon, for the joint
centennial celebration.

The executive assosiation of the Car

The amount of advertising that the
Ell Paso Carnival is getting in foreign
papers is amazing. New Orleans, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, San Antonio. Dallas,
and papers of many other cities are
devoting many columns of space to Ell
Paso and her midwinter show. The
deduction is that the crowd from the
four points of the compass will be
great.
The official flag of the Carnival,
which was gotten up by the associ-
alton to insure a uniformity of decora-
tion. is considered just the thing. Als
ready orders have been received for
more than one hundred dozen of the
flags.

SECRET SERVICE
AMONG THE STORES IN JUARtZ
OBJECTED TO
By Juar, Merchants, and A Ru-
NOR Got Around That Threats
Had Been Made Against Some OF
the United States Agents So
Employed.

1t was reported yesterday that the
secret service employees of the United
States government had been driven
out of that country by the Mexican au-
thorities.
The story was a good one as 1t
started out but it appears that the
merchants in Juarez gave origin to
the report and that there is nothing
in it. 1t was stated that this govern
ment had two men and one woman
employed there to watch the stores
and report to the bridge men when
parties from Ell Paso would buy any
thing dutiable. AS the report had 1t
the Mexican officials learned of this
and notified the parties that if caught
on that side in that business again
they would be given ten years in the
salt mines.
A Herald reporter took up the rumor
and chased it through every channel
and failed to verify the report in any
way. When seen by. a reporter this
morning Collector Dillon said: Yes,
we have been keeping an eye on the
situation in Juarez and other parts
of Mexico but it is secret service and
no one knows who the parties are. 1t
is not against the law and is done by
Mexico as much as by the United
States. Mexico has not threatened
our employees on that side and is not
going to do it. The merchants on the
ether side who are selling church
members and choir ladies cigars and
other things for their husbands start
ed this report and there is absolutely
nothing in it,
The merchants in Juarez complain
more at the over vlue of goods bought
of them than anything else. They say
that goods that cost three dollars over
there are rated at six dollars by the
customs officers on this side and no
one can buy goods over there with a
chance to make a profit. This they
contend is harder on the merchants
here than anybody else as the mer-
chants of Ell Paso want to buy goods
there for their stores. 1t appears to
be the same old story of kick" at ev-
erything but this does not bother
Collector Dillon. He says he is in
charge and is going to run the Of
ficials as he thinks proper.

Interest in the carnival queen con-
test increases from day to day and
every woman and young man in town
is watching the daily result as given
out by the committee more closely
than politicians watch for the returns
in a doubtful state during a national
campaign.
The carnival association is extreme
ly gratified with the evident popular
approval met with by the method
adopted for the selection of a queen
but members of the association have
been surprised at one thing, which is
that few of the young society girls
of the town seem to regard an cleo
tion to the highest office in the gift of
the people of this city as doubtful
honor and are holding aIoof No ex-
PLANTATION is given for this con-
dition of affairs. A well known elder
ly citizen in referring to the matter
said to a reporter for The Herald this
morning:
''I cannot understand it. If this was
a community made up of people not
sure of their social status and doubtful
of their position it might be easily ex-
planned. Ell Paso is south
ern city and some of her fami-
lies belong to the old southern aristoc-
racy, members of which in the old days
own positions in the social world to
dread little criticism.
In the south today the best and
wealtn.est young women enter into
contests of this kind with the great
est zest. Only last week noticed that
one of the leading society women of La
Grange, Canvas elected queen of the mid
winter carnival there and she seemed
to appreciate as rare distinction the
compliment paid her. The New Or
leans papers published her picture and
spoke o. her as a member of one of
the best families of the south and as
a girl of remarkable beauty. Her crown
and costume will be exactly similar
to that used at the New Orleans car
nival the queen Of which is generally
one of the most noted beauties of the
south.
Il like the majority of the Ell Paso
girls, but 1 do not think that any of
those who do not want. to
be carnival queen should have the hon
or thrust upon them. 1 suppose a
young woman who would treat lightly
the honor of being queen of the car
nival would hesitate and think several
times before accepting the honor of
christening a battle ship. 1 do not
know why"
The voting for the candidates still
continues. Ihe result of the count up
to date is as follows:

II IL believed that the census figures
Tor New Mexico viii show that the ter
rit0ry Ia the past ten years has gained
about 20 per cent IN population. The
Santa Re New Mexican believes that
these figures are too low, and that the
population OF the territory at this time
Is really from 20. 900 70 2t0.OOy. To be
sure the territory has suffered greatly
during the last democratic administra-
ton just az Il did during the democrat
&c admlnlstrati, from 1855 TO 1853.
During these two Administrations II

account for this comparatively slow In
crease In population during the past
