DEPOT AND HOTEL!.
President Ripley Meets
the City Council.
Proposition for the Building
of Viaduct Submitted.
Location Of the Depot, HOte and
Adjoining Park,
SUPERINTENDENT HURLEY INTERVIEWED

President r. Z. Ripley and Division
Superintendent J. L. Hurley In their
Santa Fe railroad private coaches ar
rived last night attached to passenger
train No. 4 from the north.
Upon the arrival OF the train Mayor
Marron and members OF the city cOun-
ell except Alderman Mckee and Hop
ping, entered the private car Of Pres
ident Ripley and held rather lengthy
consultation with that gentleman and
the popular division superintendent.
No time was lost. and that most im-
portant piece of news-the building OF
the Coal avenue viaduct-occupicd the
attention of the railroad oihcials and
members of the council.
A proposition was suggested by
Mayor Marion for the city to pay %
per cent Of the cost OF the building OF
the viaduct, pay for It's maintenance.
and be responsible for any ana all
damage suits which might occur.
This suggestion did not meet the
hearty approval OF the president or
even Mr.. Hurley, and a member OF the
council then stated that probably the
city could afford to pay 10 per cent OF
the cost OF the viaduct structure.
President Ripley. knowing the finan-
cial condition OF the city said he did
not expect the city to accomplish inn
possibilities, and that the 90 per cent
proposition was not an unreasonable
one and that he would give a definite
answer In a few days, possibly a week.
Division superintendent Hurley then
stated to the council that he would
have the company's viaduct engineer
at Las Vegas, r.. w. Grant, TO come
to Albuquerque and make surveys and
estimates as to the cost OF the con-
struction OF tLC viIduvt free If .,5t
to the city.
From the consultation. II Is apparent
TIA, the railway company Is ready 10
coz trce work at once 1n pro
posed new depot and hotel. but they
are desirous OF reaching a satisfactory
conclusion regarding the viaduct across
Coal avenue.
At the present cost of iron the con-
| structlon OF the viaduct was estimated
at about $4,000. and Mr., Ripley stated
that he thought the price OK iron was
now as high as It would go.
IL was thought II the terms were
agreed upon that work on the vladuct
would not commence until August at
the earliest, and by that time the price
OF material would be much lower.
IL was stated by Mr.. Hurley that he
had assurances from business men.
signifying their intention OF keeping
abreast with the new Improvements,
and contemplated the erection OF hand
some business houses in the vicinity
OF the depot and hotel.
Mr.. Ripley. realizing this to be one
OF the most important cities along the
Santa Fe system, was confident that
the company would not permit their
interest to lower but win establish
as fine a depot and hotel as any cits
along the line.
When the presiden, decides on the
so per cent proposition, the proposal
will be submitted TO the voters OF his
city for final action.

The Relief of Ma!eking.

1t was a long, hard siege, ana the
victory il a notable one for British
Dluck and endurance For over 200
DAYS Colonel Baden-Powell and his
1000 men have defended the little town
Of Mafeking against the assaults of
five or eight times their number of
Beers. Reduced to desperate straits
for food they still held out, with the
whole world watching the stubborn
struggle. and now, at last, the relief
column has reached the city, and the
besieging army of Beers has retired
toward Pretoria. Small wonder that
the British empire rojoices at such a
victory over overwhelming odds, and
there is no doubt that the Transvaal
leaders are correspondingly depressed
at the failure of their long struggle to
capture the town and garrison.
The war in south Africa has de
veIoped three exceptionally long and
desperate seges Ladysmith. Kimber-
leyand Mafeking, all had British garri-
sons when the war opened and all We're
at once hemmed in by Boer forces
Each was the subject of many gallant
assaults CALAMITY repulsed, and in each
case the approach Of the relief column
was bitterly opposed. But each, in
turn. held out with bulldog tenaCity,
characteristic of the AnSlo-Saxon
race. in spite of the ravages of sick
ness and starvation and the odds of
the enemy, until the advancing English
forces scattered the besiegers. The
siege of Ladysmth lasted 126 days,
that of Kimberley 132 days and that of
Mafeking 210 days. Not since Sebasto-
pol have such long siegcs been known,
and seldom in all history have there
been more desperate ones. The most
notable siege in American history.
that of Yorktown, lasted only 20 days.
The effect of the relief of Mafeking is
to put new spirit and determination
into the English at home and in the
field, and to depress the sturdy Beers.

Congressman SulZer. loud-mouthed
Tammany hecler who represents a
Bowery district. has been a very busy
man of late. He was at the New York
wharf to welcome the Boer emiSsaries,
ION behalf of Congress and the Ameri-
can people" When the Beers left
New York for Washington. he de-
livered an eloquent farewell address to
them. and on their arrival at Wash
ington, they found him at the station
delivering another speech of welcome
on behalf of Congress. the people of
Washington, etc. Close by his side
was that other great statesman. Sena-
tor Allen Of Nebraska, who assured
them that the Boer cause had the
active sympathy of IS per cent of the
American people. The poor emissaries
may we'll pray to be delivered from
their friends who are trying f.
work up in this cheap fashion a little
campaign capital for themselves.

The capture of Mafeking would nave
given a new lease of life to the Boef
defence but could not have affected the
final result of the war. AS 1t IS now
they are collecting at Pretoria for the
last stand, which we can well believe
they will make a desperate one, unless
President Kruger. mixing little dis
erection with his valor, prefers to sue
for peace at once. The end of the war
cannot be far distant, for the great
English army. under its lnvlnclple
leader, is pushing steadily toward the
Boer capital and nothing can stop 1t.
There are now no besieged towns to
look after, and the full attention of the
commander-in- chief can be directed to
the main work at hand. President
Kruger is about to pay the penalty of
mis- blind folly.

The Montana Tangle.

The smile of triumph is fading from
the face of w. A. Clark Of Montana
His trick did not work as well as ne
expected. The Senate very justly re-
sents the insult to its dignity given by
his attempt to evade the expulsion que
him and the determination that he
shall not keep his seat is more intense
than ever. If he was not legally elect
cd as is held, then he had no good
title to the seat he resigned in order
tbattbe acting governor might appoint
him to the vacancy and give him a
now lease Of senatorial life. If he had
Nothing to resign, the resignation is
,oaood and the Senate is free to carry
out the proposed plan of declaring his
seat vacant and sending the corrup-
ZIONIST home in disgrace. Moreover,
Governor Smith has now returned to
Montana, and has appointed Martin
Maginnis of Helena, to the SEN
atorship, on the ground that the APP
pointment of Clark by the lieutenant
governor. is illegal on account of
fraud. Thus the tangle grows, to the
shame of Montana and Democracy.
That the Senate may rid itself of
Clark. and that promptly, is the wish
of all decent people.
Mr. Maginnis. whom Governor Smith
has appointed to the senatorship, is a
notable figure in Western politics. He
WAS born in New York. served with
distinction in the war, represented
Montana II years in Congress as a
territorial delegate, is an editor and
mine owner. and has long been a
Democratic potentate in the North
west. Those opposed to Clark hold that
even though the appointment of Clark
by Lieutenant Governor Spriggs was
entirely valid and untainted by fraud,
Governor Smith would still have the
right to appoint. AS executive of the
state he is competent to annul an act
of his own SO long as it is stlll lncohl-
plete. If Smith had appointed Clark
he would be competent to withdra"
Clark's appointment at any time prior
to the acceptance Of Clark's creden-
tials by the Senate. This not infre-
qucntly happens in the case of eXecu-
tive appointments. Therefore. as
Clarl's credentials as the appointce Of
Spriggs have not been accepted by the
Senate il is held that Smith has a
right to recall the appointment and
name Maginnis II his place: 50 thc
