Two Very Important Resolutions In
troduced By Hon. L. B. Prince
Were Adopted.
FINE MINERAL EXHIBITS
Pamphlets Distributed By the Bureau of
Immigration-New Mexico Delegates
Honored-The Next Congress Will
Meet At Boise City.

Hon. L. Bradford Prince arrived In
the city last evening direct from the
international mining congress at Mil
waukee. He says that the session was
largely attended, Wisconsin alone hav-
ing nearly 200 delegates present, Illinois
and Colorado about forty >each and
that altogether there We're thirty-four
states and territories represented, be-
sides a number of foreign countries. One
of the most interesting papers read was
by Professor Blue, the head of the min
ing bureau of ontario, Canada. The
congress was presided over by Col. B.
f. Montgomery, of Colorado. The local
committees provided various entertain
ments in the way of excursions and WIS.,
its to the mining machinery work Of the
Alls company and the Bucyrus COM
pany. The exhibit Of mineral was much
larger than at any previous congress,
and besides the Rocky mountain prod
ucts, with which New Mexico eople
are familiar, included interesting col
lections from the iron lead and zinc
mines of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Missouri. There was a beautiful
exhibit of copper ores from the organ
district of Dona Ana county, in charge
Of r. c. Hatton, and E. c. Gavin also
made display of ore from the Maxwell
grant. These attracted much attention
to New Mexico which was increased by
the judicious distribution Of documents
from the bureau Of immigration and of
circulars sent by the Maxwell company.
Though small In numbers. the New
Mexico delegation received much recog-
milton, Mr.. Gavin being chairman Of the
committee on rules and also on finance:
Mr.. Hatton on organization and named
as state vice president; and Governor
Prince being called on to reply TO the
formal address of welcome; to act as
chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tions and, finally, being elected presi-
dent of the organization for the ensuing
year. The New Mexican heretofore pub
lished his address on a department of
mining After a long contention, there
being several cities competing. Boise

FOREST RESERVE SCHEME.
A Government Agent to Report Upon a
Reserve In Lincoln County,

s. j. Holsinger, representing the de-
partment OF the interior will visit the
Mescalero Indian reservation and look
into the feasibility of placing the res
ervation,. or any part OF 1t, under
forest reserve. Ky recent act of con-
gress 1t was declared the tract OF land
now resided upon by the tribe should
be opened for settlement. In addition
to the reservation thorough examina.
tion of the territory embraced in and
between the Sacramento, the Captain
and the Sierra Blanca mountain ranges
Is to be made with view of reporting
also upon the advisability of declaring
q portion of 1t under forest reserve.
The territory comprises over two million
acres. The plan Of preserving this
property has already been investigated
and reported favorably upon by two OF
the interior departments special agents
the result Of which large collection
of protests. maps, ETC., were forwarded
10 Washington. Mr.. Holsinger has all
these papers, with instruc tions to max,
u third inquiry.
In this investigation, the interests OF
the people and government are identl
cal, said Mr.. Holsinger, t. a reporter.
and the department Is by no means in.
clined to handle the territory in thu
face of the protests, unless the condi.
tions justify 1t. In the Mescalero res
ervation there are many things to b,
considered, In determining whether tn,
forest land would be worth more pre-
served than used for agricultural pur.
poses. The other territory lies directly
around the reservation.
while In this section | intend also
to look into the Zuni reservation and
the adjoining country, over which there
Is no contention.
"Out In Arizona, the department has
ordered complete survey Of the Grand
Canon reservation, lying In Flagstaff's
territory. The idea Is to establish per.
manent boundary lines, and from the
way the work Is let by contract, 1 think
1t will be completed within 80 days.
The stock interest are involved In this
work yet there Is no contention between
cattle and sheep raisers."

THE SITUATION TO-DAY.

Che Foo, June 26.-(Copyright, 1900,
by the Associated Press.)-Foreigner
everywhere are urging the immediate
concentration of an army Of 100, 900 men,
or at least $4,000, for an advance on Pc
kin. Many persons familiar with the
Chinese character think that the for
eign ministers and Vice Admiral Sey-
rnour are held as hostages for good
terms of settlement. They also believe
that the whole Chinese army is joining
In the movement, under the leadership
Of Tung Flu Hsiang, who crushed the
Mohammedan rebellion. Recently he
was nominally degraded for the pur-
pose of organizing the anti-foreign up
rising quietly. 1t Is estimated that Co.
900 soldiers well armed but poorly dis
ciplined, are about Pekin and Tien Tsin.
Chinese officers boast they have 100000
soldiers. Admiral Seymour's force car
ried weeks rations, and the men had
an average Of $50 rounds Of ammuni-
tion. The Russians conduct at Taku,
according to other officials, infamed the
natives. The Russians are reported to
have been shooting the Chinese indis-
criminately and driving away peaceful
Chinese. who would have procured
transportation and provisions, ard of
looting towns. A great naval demon
stration at all the treaty ports Is said
to be desirable in order to influence the
wavering Chinese merchants who are
friendly to the foreigners.
SOLDIERS SELL THEIR ARMS.
The merchantmen arriving here re-
port the Boxers drilling in the streets
of New Chwang, and when the officials
inspected the soldiers with a view of
suppressing the Boxers they found that
the soldiers had sold their rifles and
equipment to the Boxers. The military
school at Moukden is reported de-
stroyed

KANSAS CITY. July 3.-on the even
ing before the great National Demo
cratic convention. the vice-presldentla
nomination is still unsettled.
II Is the usual expression In a con,
test like this when there are many
candidates and no one has a majority
10 say that II is 'anybody's plum" Bul
II more appropriately expresses the sit
uation to say that IL is 'nobody's
plum" The chief development OF the
day was the paralysis. to a certain ex-
tent. OF several booms.
The morning opened with great con-
fidence on the part OF the friends OF
Towne. The foregone conclusion that
l6 TO was TO be specifically mentioned
in the platform and the disappointment
Of those who advocated a different
course, made II look for a time as II
Bryan. i6 to l and Towne were to be
three distinct features Of the Kansas
City convention.
The manner In which the Towne boom
seemed TO grow arousel those dele
gates who want a straight-out demo-
crat for the second place. and who OBJ

the Populist ticket and platform. II
was this feeling that turned the at
tention OF Elliott panforth Of New York
and. for time, I; seemed that the East
and South combined might name the
New Yorker. And while the action OF
the New York delegation In defeating
Danforth and putting up KeIlar seem
ed TO make Danforth's selection i'm
probable. the tide that set toward Dan
forth during the day served to show
that the mass OF delegates was not for
Towne. Another thing that New York
has indicated pretty surely is that the
state does not want the vice-presiden-
tial candidate. at least the majority
under the control Of Croker. for Kel-
lar is not considered in a serious light
at all. In this same connection it may
be said that the Sulzer candidacy al
so suffered somewhat as Sulzer sup
ported the nomination of Kellar, a pc
cullar position for an avowed candi-
date. OF course this act is evidence Of
the discipline Of Tammany hall, but it
also confirms the impression among
outside delegates that Suffers candi-
dacy is not serious. Late in the even
ing, after the action OF the New York
delegation became known, the an
nouncement was made that Illinois was
to place Adlai E. Stevenson in nomina-
tlon. and quite little boom was start
ed for him.
