while the present condition of lawless-

4 GOOD RECORD.
The Mail CLERK Between Albuquerque and
La Junta Is Record Breaker.

]. c. Taliaferro, mail clerk on the
Santa Fe railroad between Albuquer-
que and La Junta, holds the record for
excellence in the quarterly examina-
tions which every one Of the 5000 mail
clerks in the service Of the United
States must undergo. In all his exami-
nations Mr.. Taliaferro has thrown 20, 200
cards, and has never been known to
make single mistake. He has a clean
record of 100 per cent marks opposite
his name for the five years that he has
had the run hetween La Junta and AL
buquerque, something of which no 9TH
er clerk in the railway service can
boast. During the five years it has new
er been necessary for the main office at
Denver to call his attention to a mis-
take, a misthrown letter or miscarried
pouch. Taliaferro was formerly in the
sea service, and worked mails on the
ocean steamers between New York and
Liverpool. He is 80 years of age, and
entered the service when he was q.

the banner of the anti-fusion element
of the Peoples party, otherwise known

to the masthead Nearly 700 delegates
were present, representing every state
and territory excepting Arizona. New

DELIYERANCE ON TRUSTS.
Connecticut Republicans Lay Down Some
Sound Doctrines,

Hartford. Conn.,, May 9.-The Repub-
lican state convention reaffirmed the
declarations of the st. Louis platform.
AS to Porto Rico and the Philippines,
the platform expresses the belief that
ut is high and sacred duty Of the ma
ton to secure to the people of those
islands the blessings of liberty, peace
and happiness" On trusts, the plat
form says: GAS far as those great cor
porations strive to lessen the cost of
production without lowering the stand
ard of wages, to the end that they may
successfully enter and command the
markets of the world to the advantage
of the American consumer and wage
Garner, they may be well endured. But
we believe that congress and the legls-
latures of the several states should
without delay enact such laws as may
be necessary to protect the stockholders
against fraud, the laborers against in
Justice and the consumers against ex-
.tortion."

A Large Number Delivered Their
Mausers and Their Horses to

FREE SKATERS DISSATISFIED
Lord Roberts Has Thus Far Met With
Very Little Opposition In His March
On Pretoria Boer Peace
Commission.

London, May 9.-Although the British
expected considerable opposition at the
difficult drift of the Zand river, the lat
est advices from Smaldeel, Orange Free
State, indicate that the federals are not
yet ready to make determined attack
to stem Lord Roberts advance. The
latters front, indeed, is so wide and
overwhelming in numbers that it is diff
ficult to see how the Beers can help be-
ing ousted at Virginia siding as they
were at Smaldeel, even If they selected
to give battle.
BRITISH MEET LITTLE OPPOSI-
TION..
The same considerations would prob
ably affect the situation at Kroon-
staadt, hence the belief that little real
opposition will be encountered south of
the Vaal The repairs of the bridges
over the Vet river and the Vaal are ex-
pected to retard the general march from
Smaldeel and Fourteen Streams three
or four days, when General Butler also
will be ready. The general idea is that
Roberts will direct his effort on Harri-
smith in order to get in touch with the
Natal army coming through Van Rec
mans pass. A dispatch from Maseru,
dated May 8, says the Beers deserted
both Ladybrand and Ficksburg in a
panicky condition owing to the reports
that the British occupied Zenikal, thus
threatening their retreat to the Trans
vaal
THEY DO NOT ASK MUCH.

rica.
