PROSPECTIVE RAILROADS.
Three Projects That Would Be Of Great
Benefit to New Mexico.

A party of railroad surveyors COM
pleted another survey for a road from
Las Vegas to Taos last week. Whether
or not the road will be built Is the
question. The Taos people appear to
have small hopes in the premises, since
it is believed that the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa F'e does not look with favor
on the project.
G. r. Tusca, chief engineer of the
proposed Columbus & Northern rail-
road, rode over the line with Mr.. Bailey
last week, and was much pleased with
it's resources. Mr.. Tusca left Deming a
few days since on his return to New
York, whence is expected early good
news touching this enterprise.
Chief Engineer Sumner, of the Ell
Paso & Northeastern road, is in camp
near White Oaks, and is running 4 sur
vey from the head Of White Oaks can
on through town to Carrizozo station.
A previous survey shows per cent
grade through White Oaks canon, and
! now Engineer Sumner hopes to reduce
1t to 1k per cent. Mr.. Summers family
is there, and White Oaks will be his
headquarters until the work Is finished
through this section Of country. 1t be-
gins to look like the extension through
White Oaks and on to Liberal, Kan, Is
about to begin, and it is confidently be-
lieved that January, 1901, will bring
with 1t a through line Of railway from
Ell Paso to Liberal, Kan, via White

SHEEP RANCHES.
Remarkable Growth of the Industry Around
Galisteo,

Capt. Sylvester Davis and Carlo San
chez are up from Galisteo buying ranch
supplies to-day. They report good
crops, despite the long dry spell, last
ing from May 20 to July A. On the lat
ter date heavy rain came to tina, sec
ton, doing untold good. The sheep in
dustry is in a highly prosperous state
and the young lambs are growing very
fat since the fresh grass was improved
,by the rains. From Galisteo south to
the Gallinas mountains, over 100 miles
new sheep ranches are being estab-
lished and the old ones improved at q
rate which augurs well for the future
The great Mcintosh ranches, which be-
gin twenty-five miles south Of Calls
teo and string out southwark, have
a remarkable success in the breeding
of Merino sheep. For some eight years
William Mcintosh has annually intro
duced new blood, and his focks show
up splendidly this season. Mr.. McIn-
tosh is now at Los Angeles, Cal, to
purchase 800 high-bred Merino bucks
to be placed on his ranches between
Galisteo and Chilli.

MORE RUMORS
FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Populists Want to Give the Democrats Only
One Nomination,

Lincoln, Neh., July 12.-Daylight
found three fusion state conventions,
which began yesterday afternoon, still
made furtl ar than the adoption of sep
arate platforms. The whole question
hinged on whether the Democrats
would yield from the demand for two
places on the state ticket, together with
all the electors for president and vice
president. The conference committees
reported to the three state conventions
an agreement to give the Silver Re
publcans the office of lieutenant gov
ernor, the Democrats the offices of
treasurer and commissioner of lands
and buildings, and the Populists the
rest of the ticket. This division is ac-
ceptabe to the Democrats. The Popu-
list convention, however, refused to
a committee was sent to the Democrats
offering them any one office the Demo-
Gratis may wish.
COMPROMISE PROPOSITION.
mittees reported compromise propO-
stion, whereby the Democrats are Civ
en- three electors, the Populists four the
Silver Republicans one: the Democrats
to have two state offices, the Silver Re-
publicans one and the Populists the
rest The Populists referred the whole
controversy to a committee of one, Nj.
r. Harrington, with power to treat with
the Democrats, but instructng him not
to concede more than one state office.
At 1920 the agreement was reported to
the Populist convention on the presi-
Dental electors, giving four to the Pop
ulists, three to the Democrats and one
to the Silver Republicans. Nominations
for presidential electors We're declared
in order, but before selections were
made a motion prevailed that the nom
nations of electors be referred to the
state central committees of the three
parties, and a committee of one was
appointed to notify the Democrats and
Silver Republicans of the action taken.
POINTER RENOMINATED.
Nominations for governor were de-
clared in order, and without nominat-
ing speeches the roll of counties was
called. Governor Poynter had a walk
!awav. Before the result was announced
John O. Y@iser, of Omaha, one of the
candidates for the nomination, moved
that the selection of Poynter be made
unanimous 1t carried with applause.
AGREEMENT REACHED.
Committeeman Harrington, delegated
by the Populists to treat with the DEM
ocrats and Silver Republicans, reported
their concurrence in the proposed divi-
sion of state officers and presidential
electors. The announcement was greet
ed with wild applause.
The Democrats, on convening, ratified
the nomination of Governor Poynter,
and then nominated w. d. Oldham for
attorney general. The Populists in turn
nominated Oldham, and taking the ini-
tiative, named e. A. Gilbert, Silver Re-
publican, by acclamation for lieutenant
governor.

and fell, the cart passing over him and
infiicting severe abdominal bruises.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Williams four
months old infant met with sad acci-
dent at Captain last Thursday, from
the effects of which it died. 1t seems

received severe injuries by windlass
crank giving away. DR.. Harrison was
called and found her very badly bruised.

FINANCIAL POLICY.

Congress, which will sustain, and, If
can prevent the financial catastrophe
which every lover of the nation Is
anxious to avert. Not satisfied with
denouncing the currency of the govern
ment, our political adversaries con-
denim the tariff law enacted at the extra
session of congress in 1897, known as
the Dingley act, passed in obedience to
the will of the people expressed at the
election in the preceding November, the
law which at once stimulated our in
lustries, opened idle factories and
mines and gave to the laborer and to
the farmer their returns for their toll
and investment Shall we go back to
the tariff which brings deficiency in our
revenues and destruction to our indus
trial enterprises"
THE NEW POSSESSIONS.
The president then reviewed the re-
ults of the war, and said: Cuba has
been liberated, and our guarantees to
her people will be sacredly executed. A
benefcent government has been provid-
ID for Porto Rico. The Philippines are
ours, and American authority must be
supreme throughout the archipelago.
There will be broad amnesty and lib
erty, but no abatement in our rights
nor abandonment of our duty. There
must be no scuttle policy. We will fulfill
in the Philippines the obligations i'm
posed by the triumphs of our arms and
by the treaty of peace; by international
law and by the nations sense of honor,
and more than all by the rights, inter-
ests and conditions of the Philippine
people themselves. The organized forces
which have been misled into rebellion
have been dispersed by our faithful SOL
| diers and sailors, and the people of the
islands have been delivered from an
archy, pillage and oppression, recognize
American sovereignty as a symbol and
pledge Of peace, Justice, law, religious
freedom, education, security Of life and
property, and the welfare and prosper
ity of their several communities.
CONGRESSIONAL POWER.

the Republican party, sustained by un-
broken judicial precedent, that the rep

assembled have the full legislative
power over the territory belonging to
the United States, subject to the funda-
mental safeguards Of liberty, justice
and personal rights, and are vested with
ample authority to act for the highest
interests of the people intrusted to Its
care This doctrine, first proclaimed ir
the cause of freedom, will never be
used as a weapon for oppression.

zens' committee and band and escorted

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
After expressing an appreciation Of
the honor done him, and relating how
his promises of four years ago have
been kept, the president continued:
Unfortunately, the threat of 1896 has
just been renewed by the allied parties
without an abatement or a modifica-
ton. The gold bill has been denounced
and it's repeal demanded. The menace
of 16 to therefore still hangs over us
with all it's dire consequences to credit
and confidence, to business and indus
try. The enemies of sound currency are
rallying their scattered forces. People
must once more unite and overcome the
advocates of reputation, and must not
relax their energy until the battle for
public honor and honest money shall
again triumph.
