EXPLORING FxpeDITiON
Will Study Curious Tribes Of Sonora
Indians

\ special from Phoenix, Arizona. to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. says:
Prof. w. J. MCGEE. of the ethnologi-
cal division of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition has started from Phoenix at the
head of an expedition bound for the
land of the Ceris Indians. in Sonora.
near the mouth of the Colorado river.
With him go Delaney Gill. an artist of
the Smithsonian staff, and couple
of frontiersmen. They are escorted by
Senior Emilio Mata. a special treasury
agent of the Mexican government. The
party takes provisions for two
months trip.
The Ceris Indians are the most
bloodthirsty and most secluded of all
the North American tribes. They are
difficult of approach. usually either
fleeing or staying to fight on the APP
proach of strangers. They speak an
odd tongue. that has no affinity what
ever with any other known aboriginal
dialect. and their customs are also pc
culiar to hte tribe. The mainhold of
the tribe. on Tiburon Island. in the
Gulf of California. has been assailed
many times by the Spaniards and Mex
leans. but always unsuccessfully. The
Mexican government does nat pretend
to exercise jurisdiction over Tiburon.
The mainland Ceris live in rude hutS
near the seashore, practice no agricul-
ture. and live wholly upon shell fish
and small game. Oysters and other
bivalves are to be found on the beach
in enormous quantities.
The professor has been among the
Ceris before. and probably knows more
of them already than does any other
living white man. He spent a month
on Tiburon Island in 1894. about the
time the savages murdered r. f. l..
Robinson. venturesome eastern news
paper man. and companion. MCGEE
was on the island again the succeed
ing year. and then succeeded in estab-
fishing reasonable amicable relations
with the fierce tribesmen. Thus he
was able to compile a vocabulary of
700 words to the Ceris tongue. With
the advantage of this result in import
ant discoveries. clearing away much of
the mystery that has been attached by
ethnologists to the strange and forbid
ding tribe.

CARNIVAL COMMITTEE
Presents Reasons Why Business
Men Seoni- Support It,

The letters sent out by the Carnival
| finance committee to each merchant.
professional and business man We're
accompanied by circulars reading as
| follows:
| To the Business Men of Ell Paso:
Realizing that the FL Paso Midwinter
Carnival association is 1aboring for the
people of Ell Paso and for the advance
ment of the interests of the city, the
executi We committee herein outlines to
you the benefits that will be derived
directly from the Carnival:
The I'VE VIII spirit followed to the
end twill result in the production of
series of entertainments and displays of
such character as will be the pride of
our people and the wonder of the visit
ing public to the extent that the Car
nfvaI in its entirety will remain a per-
manent advertisement for FL Paso and
its future profit.
The free advertising that the press.
bureau will obtain from the papers CT
the country during the pre-Carnivai
period if paid for in cash would cost
S50. 900.
The railroads will make rates of $40
from Texas points. and tn eSanta Fe
will give the lowest rate ever given to
FL Paso including not only logical ter
litory. but as far away as Denver and
Kansas City. Such rates Will bring to
our doors from lo.Uuu 10 ZO,VcU people
Many of these will be eastern tourists
of means sufficient to crafty their de-
sires for sightseeing and amusement.
They will collectively spend in cash
more than S250.060 as conservative
estimate.
In view of this is ii not a fair propo-
sition to regard the small amount de-
sired from each as only small in
vestment compared to the great bene-
fits that will accrue from the Carni-
val?
The mater of loyalty and pride that
we will take in the success of the en-
terprise not taken into account and
viewed only from business stand
point the result of the Carnival will be
more renumerative than any other pub
| lie enterprise that could be devised.
In acting for you and your interests,
| the association will undertake nothing.
nor sanction any expense. that is not
for the best interests of the people and
the city.
RESPECTFULLY,
THE EXECUTIVE BOARD.

GREAT playing
By Jim Long. the pitcher of the
Collie

Jim Long. the favorite pitcher of
the Ell Paso Colts. is also a favorite
at Morenci where he pitched a winning
game Sunday. against the crack team
from Clifton. Jim won his own game
and the crowds went wild. He allow
ed only three safe hits and with perfect
support would have shut his opponents
out with out a run. He also got two
hits out of three times at bat and stole
four bases.
When Jim came to bat in the last
half of the ninth inning there were two
men on bases and the score was four
to three in favor of Clifton. Jim had
already made hit in the early part
of the game that sent n man across
the plate and when he stepped up to
the plate this time every thing was
as quiet as funeral. He picked out
the first ball pitched and met il square
and ii sailed over the centerfielders
head for two bases sending both men
in and winning the game.
He was presented with a check for
$50 by the manager of the team for
his playing.

COMMERCIAL AGENT HUNT
Saws the Election of Murphy Will
Be Followed BY Statehood For
Ariznn1

r. z. Hunt. commercial agent of the
Southern Pacific. who has just returned
from Arizona says that Murphy. the
republican candidate for delegate to
congress is sure to be elected today
and in that case Arizona will become
a state at the coming session OF con-
gress.
IF Arizona is made a state this win
ter" said Mr.. Hunt. Il predict that 1t
will soon be one of the wealthiest
states in the union. The mineral re-
sources of Arizona are simply inestim-
able and it is the general opinion that
the best property has not been touched
vet. The camp around Bisbee will more
than double in output of mineral as
we'll AS in population within the next
few years and in that case Bisbee will
be n handsome city. All the territory
is prosperous now and will be more
so when the election is over so the peo-
pie can get money to develop their
property. That country Is the rich
est territory FL Paso has and ii will
pay the jobbers here to look that way
for business. II FL Paso can get her
share of the trade of Arizona il will
make city of this place and | see no
reason why il should not come here"
Mr.. Hunt is enthusiastic for the flu
ture of that country as well as Ell Paso
but he says 1t is extremely doubtful if
we will ever get another railroad in
here from that section. He thinks the
rates than any new road could give
and there is nothing to encourage n
new road. He says the PhelpsDodge
road is fast building towards Nacosari
and will be completed early in the win
ter.

THE rapid increase OF our imports
from the Dutch East Indies suggests
a new field for our expectations which
have been 10 that particular spot very
light up TO the present time. The
French consul at Batavia. Java, in
report which has just reached the
treasury bureau OF statistics, suggests
that the Dutch East Indies offer an
especially fertile field for those de-
string to make sales Of agricultural
machinery and implements which at
present. he says, are of an extremely
primitive character i'm those islands.
Nest OF the implements used in smaH
farming come from Germany and Eng
land, and are in many particulars un-
satisfactory: the handles OF the sickles
are not properly fastened 10 the blade,
while agricultural machinery, properly
so-caled, including machinery for
planting, reaping, binding and thresh-
ing. are practically unknown. Even
sugar cane plantations have as yes
| made little progress i'm the adoption OF
| modern machinery. The difficulties
| which have been encountered in at
tempts to Introduce agricultural ma
| chnery are: First. the cheapness Of
manual labor; second, the climatic con-
| dftiurrs untirr -wf1fcfr the articles of iron
and steel grow rusty and unfit for use
| in a short time IL exposed TO the open
air. and, third. the fact that the white
ant destroys nearly all kinds Of wood
except teak which is therefore neces-
sarily used in the construction Of ma
chinery for use in the island. The
fact. however that there are in Java
and sumatra $50 sugar factories which
supply one-third OF the sugar imported
into the United tSates and that the
total imports OF the Dutch East Indies
average sixty-olght million dollars and
our own exports to them less than two
million dollars annually. while our i'm
ports from them in 1899 were over
thirty-two millions. suggests valuable
and important trade possibilities II
that direction, II properly cultivated.

THE logic OF the situation is one
thing. Taylor had been declared elected
governor Of Kentucky by the count OF
the voting district officials and the
count was affirmed by the board set up
by Goebel undersan election law which
bore his name and which friends and
opponents alike were pretty we'll agreed
was designed TO provide Democratic
pluralitles whether they existed or not,
When the scheme fell through the con-
test was taken 10 jhe Legislature. That
body IL Democratic ana Goebelite on
joint ballot but BY vote of the separate
branches il IS unlikely that Goebel
would have been declared elected since
the Republicans and the anu-Goebel-
ties controlled in the senate. 1t is con-
stitu;ional question in Kentucky wheth-
er the concurrent vote OF the two
branches Of the legislature, or a joint
ballot, Is required in such a case. The
preponderance Of authority seams To be-
in favor OF the former, In which case
the proceedings by which Goebel. on
his death bet, was elected governor by
securing the slsnatures Of a majority
OF The members or both houses. in effec
a joint ballot would. OF course be de
clartd invalid by an unprejudice,
court.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-02-05

THE sentiment OF the situation In
Kentucky is another thing. Goebel is "A
martyr. No one can deny that or refuse
TO acknowledge his right to martyr
dom. or no argument on begging the
question can for moment pardon tho
act OF his murderer. II Is only a ques.
hion how far sentiment viii go. They

WHAT Goebel tried TO do doesn't ex-
cuse his murder. on the other hand. as
sassination does not make the cause he
fought for logically any stronger. That
cause was the overthrow OF the will of
the people as expressed at the polls and
10 its success Goebel had brought all
his powers as an able, shrewd,
pulous political manager ard an inde-
fatigable worker in anything he under
