DEATH OF 4 BRAVE MAN.
George Scarborough Was Brave and
Fearless Official,

Speaking about George Scarborough,
of Deming, an account of whose mortal
wounding by outlaws in the Chierucusa
mountains of Arizona was printed in
the telegraphic columns of this paper
yesterday, Judge McFie said to New
Mexican reporter today: scarborough
was one OF the most daring and efficient
officers ever employed in the pursuit of
desperadoes in New Mexico. Before
coming to this territory he was for
years an active member of the Texas
rangers, where he rendered the cause
of law and order excellent service, and
during the years he has been deputy
sheriff and deputy marshal in New Mex
leo his fearlessness and zeal have gained
him most ,enviable rep, cation. He
was in Santa Fe during thu session of
the last legislature as an advocate of
the passage of bill establishing an Or
ganization of New Mexico rangers of
which he was candidate for captain.
He was man about 40 years old. His
death at Deming will be generally re-
gretted.

IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRATS.
The Appellate Court Decides In Favor Of
Beckham,

AS~SAAAsSA@@s
Frankfort, April 6.-The court of ap-
peals today handed down decision in
the governorship case in favor of the
Democrats. The opinion is by six
judges, four Democrats and two Repub-
licans. One Republican, Durelle dis
sented.
A SURPRISE.
Frankfort, KY, April 6-Republican
Judges Burnam and Guffy gave sep
arate opinion from the Democratic
judges, but agreed with the Democratic
members in it's conclusion. Judge Hob
son wrote the opinion of the court. The
concurrence of Burnam and Guffy with
the four Democratic judges was sur
prise generally, The opinion holds that
the action of the legislature in seating
Governor Beckham was final, and the
courts have no power to review it; that
Governor Taylor exceeded his authori-
ty in adjourning the legislature to Lon
don, and that the journals of the two
houses of the legislature, being regular,
cannot be impeached. The Republicans
will try to get a hearing before the
United States supreme court. Thirty
days must elapse before a mandate of
the court of appeals in accordance with
to-day's decision is issued. Meanwhile
no radical change in the relative posi-
tions of the two state governments is
expected,

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
II Affects Territorial Cities Of More Than
10000 Population.

A favorable report has been brought
by the committee on territories of the
house of representatives at Washing
ton on bill to amend an act to prohib-
it the passage of local or special laws
in the territories In it's report the COM
mittee says:
"The bill amends the act of July 80,
1886, which prohibits the passage of To-
cal or special laws of the territories of
the United States, so as to permit, au-
thorize and legalize the issuance of
bonds of chartered municipal corpora
tions having a bona fide population of
not less than 10000 persons for erecting
a city building and purchasing the
ground for the same. 1t appears that
there are several cities in the territories
where the people are desirous of erect
ing city buildings, but are prohibited
from doing so by the act of 1886 Inas-
much as the proposed amendment re-
quires that two-thirds of the voters
shall vote affirmatively for the issu-
ance of said bonds before the same can
| be issued, and that no person shall be
qualified to vote except he is in all re-
spects a qualified elector and owner of
real or personal property subject to tax
alton within the municipality, in the
opinion Of your committee the bonds
would be properly guarded and no ex-
| travagance would result. The rate Of
interest is not to exceed S per cent, and
no bonds are to be sold at less than
their par value. This bill is similar to
the act passed at the second session of
| the fifty-ffth congress, authorizing the
issuance of bonds by municipal corpo-
rations having population of not less
than 1000 persons, for the construction
of sewers, water works and street inn
provements.'
The committee suggests that the bill
be amended so that no city under the
fact shall issue bonds in excess Of $780,
900.

In BEAUTIFUL JAPAN
Ralph McFie Is Enraptured With
the Magnificent Scenery Of
the Orient.
A LETTER FROM NAGASAKI
The Inland Seas of Japan Described In
Glowing Terms-The Harbor at Naga-
saki-Thousands Of small
Villages.

Judge and Mrs. McFie received this
morning a letter from their son Ralph,
written from Nagasaki, Japan, and
from it the New Mexican makes the
following extracts:
when 1 arrived at Kobe it was rain
ing and l wrote you that I did not ex-
pect to go on shore, but, contrary to my
expectations, the weather cleared and
| went ashore and spent a very pleasant
day there.
A PROGRESSIVE CITY.
Kobe is a large city, and is a much
more progressive one than Yokohama.

to both of these cities. l write this let

which place we have just arrived.
have been inspected by the health Off
GER which is necessary before going
ashore, but as it is raining here to-day
and quite cold l am not sure that I will
land. The harbor is a very beautiful
of vessel. I saw one American war ves-
sci, one British frst-class war vessel,
two Austrian war vessels, a monster
Russian transport, which are now in
the harbor and an American transport
named Columbia left here this morning
just after we arrived.
IN INLAND SEAS.
Yesterday all day we ran through in
land seas, and oh, my, I have never in
my life seen anything that for beauty
could compare with this country. Mag
nif1cent is all I can say. Oh, how beau
tiful it must be in the summer time.
The water was like mirror, and thou
sands of fishing boats dotted the sur
face around US. We We're weaving in
and out among innumerable small is
lands. These islands are very rough and
hilly but are terraced from the waters
edge to the very top, and cultivated on
every spare inch. They are green and
beautiful even now in the winter There
are thousands of small villages dotted
along the waters edge, and 1 cannot at
tempt to picture them. I am wild over
this scenery, and you know I am no
dreamer or artist, either. I would give
anything could you but see this coun-
try"

A new MEXICO BOY.
He Starts Out Alone from Fort Wingate
for CIana Nome in Alaska.

Henry Ballard McNeill, a 12-year old
boy from Fort Wingate, N. M, where
he had been living with his uncle, at
tracted considerable attention at the
Union Depot at Denver on Tuesday. He
was travelling alone and was on his way
to Cape Nome, Alaska. At Spokane,
Wash, he expects to meet his parents
whom ne is to accompany to Alaska on
May /. A Denver paper says:
"Denver is terribly windy place, "
said Henry Ballard McNeill, aged IL
years, as he munched away at hard
biscuit which he had pulled from a
great pasteboard grip at the union sta
tion last evening.
"This beats New Mexico all holler,
continued the lad as he held on to the
biscuit with one hand and pulled his
slonch hat tighter over his gin-fzz hair
with the other. II have seen sand
storms down there in New Mexico which
were pretty bad, but Denver takes the
cake.
"He is an interesting little fellow and
his ready wit and frank manner was ap-
preciated by every one about the depot. y

A U. s. Commissioner Of New Mexico t.d-
mits Ohinaman.
The Denver customs Office and Chi
nese Inspector Valentine, of that city
have come in conflict with H. r. Whit
ing, u. s. commissioner at Albuquer-
que. Yee Lucy, Chinaman, was ar
rested at Denver because it was thought
that he was Illegally in the United
States. Yee Lucy, however, produced
a roll OF papers with his photograph
pasted upon it, with many seals and the
signature of Commissioner Whiting.
Whiting stated on the certificate that
he was satisfied that Yee Lucy had been
in the country before the exclusion act
and that he authorized him to stay in
the country. The Denver customs au-
thorities say that a United States COM
missioner has no final jurisdiction in au-
thorizing Chinaman to remain in the
United States and that only federal
Judge can do that. Commissioner Whit
ing's act is the first of that nature on
record and will probably be passed upon
by the authorities at Washington.
