performance of duty-to the Mayor
as chief executive and to Council
as the representative and legislative
authority AS to the makeup of that
representative body it should be repre-
sentative i'll fact, not i'll fiction. 1t
should not represent arbitrary districts
made to favor the election Of candidates
of one party, but representative of the
citizen voters There should be no dodg
ing of that issue. For this reason we
say that the legislative districts are not
acceptable. They We're made for the
purpose of aiding the Democratic party
to secure IL majority in the Legislature,
against a known Republican majority
in the city. The wards MS they are is Il
good enough division of the city if the
popular representation theory is adopted.
The legislative districts as laid off are
not evenly balanced. They have the
same old objection which seems to hold
against all Democratic attempts at gov
ernment- Il distrust of the people ana
desire for undue advantages AT the polls
There are three districts on what is
known to be the Democratic division Of
side where there is also known to be
an excess Of population over the other
districts. In this way 1886 voters,
according to the last election, have three
representatives and 1901 voters have only
two representatives giving what is prac-
tically one representative to 1434 voters
in the southern districts, as against one
to 1850 in the northern district AS
against this division Of the city we SIlg-
gcst that the ward division be adopted
with an appoltionmcIlt Of representatives

stance taking the smaller ward as Il unit
and awarding it one or two representa-

London. Nov. is. An entirely new do
parturP in arctic exploration will he made
next summer. Russia will send north her
wonderful icc Ship. the Yermak, With in
strlctions to try To cut her way through
TO the pole. The performance of this ves-
sci in cutting and tearing her WAY AT
three or four miles an hour through the
immense icciiclilS Of the Baltic sea ana
other Russian waters has excited amaze
ment among all who have witnessed ii.
She is now being equipped and impnvcd
for the greatest of Hl tasks. The ARM
strongs ut ElSwick have inst completed u
new bow which is especially designed to
encounter the field Of ice in tho arctic sen,
which is heavier and thicker ilan any
which the Hcrmak has yet attacked. The
original bow was easily capable of deal
ing with any Of the enormous icrtiplds
which Russia produces. She went to Il
high latitude ON an experimental trip last
summer and accomplished all that could
be expected of her in her assault upon
tlt external ice which she then cncoun-
tered. The alterations now being made
We're suggested by +his experience. Ad-
miral Makarolf. who is experimenting
the changes, has the greatest confidence
that his ship will cut her way without de-
lay straight to the pole and will return
safely in tho same season. EgWr p"e-

gressive institutions and commercial

Argentine merchants, and especially
those Of Buenos Ayres, appreciate the
Importance Of representation at the

the government will have its exhibit at

They had broken all the cups and
ipla ties, poured the salt into the sugar,
this com binstion into the flour aud
beans, and the agglomeration of the
whole onto the ground, as the sacks
were all they wanted. They then took a o
AK and smashed the coffee pot, frying

they intended to 60 to the Sierra Pri-

turned south. Our guide went back to
give the alarm below to the ranches.

failing one nan to keep camp, we
| silently filed out at midnight, and by
daylight were at Ia wilkins station near
where Faben station Is now. There
We were told we would find the cole
sur vivor of the terrible massacre.
Riding up to the door, We had to
thump some time before we had any
evidence IN 1t any one was alive on the
premises. Finally the door opened
a bout an inch, very cautiously, and L
saw the eye of a Mexican. Asking
him if he had been one of the gramer-
os. he answered ISL, senior" l then
asked for an account OF the affair. He
said it was nearly dark when the
Apaches, anywhere from % to 90,
charged their camp, and uttered such
horrid yells that every body took to
his heels and was soon in the chap
arral. He said he saw his "pobrecito
papa running, with the Apaches
about to lance him, and he knew thai
he and all the balance ofthe party were
killed. He only escaped. As he men
toned the tragic desth of his
down his cheeks. I comforted him as
we'll as 1 could, and asked if he could
guide us out to their camp. But he
declined With thanks, saying he must
stay to help the station keeper take
care OF the stage mules. But if [
would 60 down below a mile l would
see the ranch where some of the dead
mems families lived. where l could no
doubt get guide. We had come by
San Elizario, and 1 found that grand,
brave old Mexican, Captain Gregorio
N. Garcia, waiting for US, his horse
saddled, and blankets and grub ready.
It was nothing new to him, as he was
always ready to go after the Apaches.
He served under Colonel Jno. r. Bay
lOr in the campaign against the federal
troops at Fort Fillmore. When Major
Lynch was CAPTURED a. San Augustine
Springs in 1861. Capt. Garcia with
some OF the citizens of San Elizario
p 'evented the massacre of the United
States troops in Dog Canyon by his
skill and courage. Martin Alarcon, a
brother of Mrs. Ellis, also joined US.
When we arrived at the ranch be-
low Hawkins station, it was sunrise
and we halted for breakfast. The
people of the ranch were very uneasy
when we rode up, but were rejoiced
when they saw we were Texas rangers
and learned our mission. They show
ed US every attention. Among the
first to come out was an old Mexican
who was in the hay camp when it was
attacked. He gave lurid account of
the onset. His son was of the party,
and when be mentioned It the tears
began to flow. "Ah, bio de mi cora
zon. l shall never see him again. All
were killed. and l alone escaped" l
could hardly keep my face straight,
when l told him L had just left his son,
who was very much alive and mourned
him as dead. It turned out that all
the dead meu turned up alive. They
had scattered each man for himself,
and the Apaches were too busy loot

A bright young Mexican went with
