Poary May winter In 1he North.

st. Johns, N. F., Oct. s.-The failure
of the Peary exploring steamer Wind
ward to return from the North leads
local observers to believe that the ex-
plorer will not attempt TO get back
this autumn. Probably the season just
past was an open one in the far North.
Should that have been the case, Lieu
tenant Peary is likely to have taken
the Windward into some high aftd-
tude, hoping to use her in further
expedition next season. This would
mean that he has made no special
record during the present year.

Santa Fe Suits Them.

Next Saturday the gentlemen who
compose the Republican territorial GEN.
trail committee will meet in this city.
They need no formal reception, for the
capital city knows them all of old, and
has made them upon other occasions
realize that the capital belongs to them.
At the same time, when the leading
Democrats come to the city to old one
of their quiet little confabs they are not
made to feel that they are in the house
of an enemy. Santa Fe is used to en-
pertaining all sorts of gatherings, and
none has ever had cause to regret a
stay at the capital city, which some
may abuse in a light when they
feel like criticising something, but in
their hearts all the people of New Mex
leo have an attachment for the histor-
ical and hospitable city, which goes on
forever in her dignified and virtuous
way without being malicious enough to
resent comments from frisky commu-

The Colorado Story About Smallpox.

The Colorado board of health is again
in print with an assertion that smallpox
runs riot in New Mexico, and that at
the town of Folsom there are fifteen
cases. The secretary has written to the
surgeon general of the marine hospital
| service at Washington, asking him to
compel New Mexico to stamp out the
| disease. AS the request might as we'll
have been made of the man in the moon
| so far as the official appealed to has
any authority, the supposition is that
| that matter was taken up in that way
in order to get it into the newspapers.
| The fact is hat New Mexico Is re-
| markably free from the disease, and If
it prevails in any town in the territory
| at present it Is not a matter Of general
knowledge. But there must be consid-
| cradle smallpox in Colorado, or this old
story about New Mexico would not
| have been heard at this time. Perhaps
| the announcement that special excur-
| sion rates have been fixed by the Santa
| Fe Railway Company from all Colora-
| do points to New Mexico points for an
early date brought about this cry about
smallpox in the territory. Colorado is
ever trying to prevent the tourist bust
ness and the seekers for mines coming
TO New Mexico.

Again the announcement is made by
Washington newspapers that at some
time in the dim and distant future the
president will instruct General Otis to
issue a proclamation that all insured
tionists In the Philippines are to be
proclaimed as bandits and to be treat
ed as thieves and criminals when
caught. There is undoubtedly some rea-
son to regard most of the Filipinos en-
gagged in hostilities In that light, but
there is little probability of such a
ourse being authorized by the presi-
dent so long as the enemy has a mill
tary organization. Until Aguinaldo sur
renders or fees from the island ar
armed organization will exist. His fol-
lowers are certainly fanatics, and will
not cease to fight In their own especiaI
style of warfare so long as their leader

THE SANTA PE'S EARNINGS.
Fine Showing for a Half Year and for
December.

The statement of the Santa Fee Rail-
way Company for the last six months
of 1899, and for the month of December,
is very gratifying to the management.
The gross earnings for the half year
were 1923, 52S, 1893, an increase over those
of the corresponding period of 1898 of
50, 44O, 567. The operating expenses foot
ed up $14, 1856, ST., an increase Of $512,SS2.
The net earnings, which were 49, 1858, 400
more than in the year before.
The showing on net earnings is one
of the most gratifying features. The
taxes and rentals figured up 1926, 900, or
sS5. 713 more than those in 1898, and the
income from operations was $S,415, 1880,
an increase of 2 1857, 6S6. The average
operated mileage was 7~,257.33, an in
crease of $50. So miles.
The gross earnings for the month of
December were 4,1O3, 655, or S216, 1892
more than those of the corresponding
month in 1898. The operating expenses,
49, 94, 106, were $171, SIG, and the net
earnings, which were s1,S09, $40, repre-
sented a gain of 1888, 3s9. The average

The Kentucky Row.

Governor Taylor of Kentucky took
only a proper step to prevent the occur
renee of further trouble when he adj
journed the legislature yesterday and
ordered 1t to meet a week later in "a
town where things are more orderly
than they are likely to be in Frankfort
during the next few days. The gather
ing of large numbers of armed people
at the permanent capital is liable to
bring on a serious conflict, while an adj
journment for a week will give the pub
lie temper time to cool. No political
rights of contestants can be affected
by the delay and removal, for if the
legislative majority has determined to
declare Goebel the governor elect, the
lieutenant governor also to be declared
by the majority to have been elected,
will succeed to all the rights of Goebel
if the latter should die in the mean
time. Just now the legislators are not
in a deliberative mood, and nothing can
be lost by a week of idleness. But the
Democrats will, Of course, see In this

be considered from the outside that
public sentiment supports the Ken

Southern Pacific Got Left.

The Southern Pacific railway a dozen
years ago sent an expert into the White
Oaks country to examine the coal fields
and bonded or bought 10000 acres of
hand in the vicinity of White Oaks, but
the expert decided that the country was
too broken and the coal veins too irreg-
ular, 20 that nothing was done toward
development. Later the parties who are
now working the coal mines at CAPTAIN,
only two dozen miles from White Oaks,
made thorough exploitation of the coal
deposits at the present scene OF their
operations by using diamond drills and
BY other work. Az a result of the pros
poet they built the railway from FL
