latter place and Peking the road is in bad
shape.
The German naval commander at Taku
telegraphs that, according to the returns
asked for by the senior admiral of the al
lied fleets. the following troops had been
landed up TO Aug. IS: American, 155 of.
fcers and 4,47O men; British. 1S9 officers

graphic cable between Che-Foo and Shang-
hal will be ready for traffic Sept. 4 The
commander of the German gunboat Jaguar
reports that communication with Peking
is still exposed to temporary Interruptions.
Japan's action at Annoy is followed with
intense interest by the German govern
ment, but there is no reason TO suspect
that thus far the Mikado intends per-
manent occupation OF Annoy Neverthe-
less it is deemed advisable that Germany
also should be strongly represented at
Annoy, in case the situation should thicken.
The German gunboat Tiger. which. with
the first German ironclad division, recent
ly arrived at Hong-Kong, has been or
dered to Annoy. The rest of the division
will be held in readiness at Hong Kong.
Herr Won Brandt, former minister of
Germany to China, who was interviewed to-
day regarding the situation, made the fol-
lowing statement: 1T is an error to as
sumo that the Chinese trouble is at an end
with the relief of the foreign legations. AS
a matter of fact, 1t has but just begun. be-
cause now the divergent interests of the
powers are asserting themselves. No doubt

Immediately and act as a mediator If, un-

apparent. Russia wants the Empress dow

BRYAN At ALBUQUERQUE.
He Declined An Invitation to Come to Oi,
Qalianta.

Hon. Antonio Joseph, of Ojo Caliente,
returned to Santa Fe yesterday fore
noon from attending the Democratic
territorial convention. and departed for
his home in Taos county over the Den
yer & Rio Grande this morning. Mr.. Jo-
seph served in congress four years with
Hon. William J. Bryan, of Nebraska,
and was glad to meet the distinguished
Democratic leader in the Ducal City and
renew his acquaintance with him. He
says that Mr.. Bryan shows no particu-
lar signs of fatigue, except that at times
his voice Is little hoarse, but declares
his intention to rest for two months aft
er he returns home from this trip. He
declined Mr.. Joseph's cordial invitation
to spend a month at the famous Ojo
Caliente mineral springs, with express
sions of regret, saying that he certainly
would accept If his engagements would
permit. Mr.. Bryan made two addresses
at Albuquerque on Saturday to large
crowds, and left in the evening for Ell
Paso. Last night he left Ell Paso for
Houston to attend the Trans -Misslssip-
pi congress.

4 POLITICAL QUESTION.
The Democrats Of Colorado Anxious to Have
Edith Located In New Mexico.

The Democrats Of Colorado Anxious to Have
Edith Located In New Mexico.
The New Mexico-Colorado boundary
dispute is taking on a political phase.
Governor Thomas of Colorado has ap-
pealed to the United States authorities,
as we'll as to the attorney general of
Colorado, to decide the boundary ques-
ton, so that people living near the line
or on the line may know whether they
reside in New Mexico or in Colorado.
Col. C. B. Weeks, of Pagosa Springs, Is
at Denver to work for the preservation
of the present line, which places the
town of Edith in Colorado instead Of in
Rio Arriba county, this territory. 1t Is
claimed that the town is strongly Re-
publican in politics, as Is the surround
ing neighborhood, and that this Is one
of the reasons why Democrats in Colo
RADIO are pushing the work of establish
ing new line which would throw Edith
into New Mexico, as thereby the Repub-
licans in Colorado would lose some 500
votes, which, in that part of the state,
would mean perhaps the change Of the
political management of the district
This Is what the politicians in the neigh.
borhood are now fighting about. They
are fast lining up, the Republicans ir
favor Of the present state line, and the
Democrats claiming that a more recent
survey, which runs further north
should be put in force by the govern
ment.
OF course, New Mexico will not OBJ
ject to the acquisition Of 30 thriving 6
town as Edith, no matter what the po
litical faith of the majority Of it's citi
zens is.

by the lessees. Small shipments are be-
ing regularly made. The property shows
considerable development work, and Is
one of the oldest mines in the camp.
More men are at work in Cooks Peak
CAM han at any previous time. U. E
Mcdaniel is working steadily at the
erection Of new concentrating mill
He will have it In full operation this
month yet. The mill will have a capac-
ity of twenty-five tons per day. 1t is the
intention of the owner to treat both
high and low grade ores of the camp.
The high-grade ores will be separated
from the lead and zinc by the latest i'm
proved methods. Mcdaniel has the only
water in camp, which, in addition to
the use now made of 1t by the operators
of other mines of the camp will be am
ply sufficient for the operation Of his
concentrating mill.
CENTRAL.
The Lord Thomas mine at Central
has been bonded and leased by Mr..
Clegg, Of Silver City. to George San
ders. The mine Is very good lead and
silver prospect, and work on it will be
started this month yet.
A GOOD STRIKE.
Mr.. Hersey has made good gold
strike near Bayard station. The claim
lies near his ranch, and the ore he has
had assayed runs higher in gold than
any other ore ever found in that section.

The Cotton Market.

New York, April 16.-The cotton mar
ket is steady, with prices point lower
to points higher, but soon lost stabil-
ity under the light selling for both ac-
counts and the scarcity Of supporting
orders. Wall street took the leading
part as seller of August and January
positions, while at the same time mani
Testing almost total Indifference to de-
velopments in May. The unbroken hol-
iday in Liverpool did much to check
business, as few operators cared to take
on new responsibility until some idea
of the feeling abroad could be obtained.
In receipts and crop news there was lit
tie inspiration to be had; the former
about met expectations, and the latter
is much too conflicting to give either
side any special advantage. Near the
end of the first hours the buying orders
appeared from several quarters, and
May advanced 10 points over the open
ing. The rest of the list showed smaller
gains.

4 TRICK ON BRYAN.
He Was Reminded Of the Prosperity of To.
dsy By q Practical Example.

=
A neat trick was played upon Col. w.
]. Bryan at Gallup on Friday afternoon
of last week. 1t was joke that bore a
good campaign lesson with it, for it
compared the price New Mexico wool
growers received for wool under the
Cleveland administration with the pres
ent price. The Democrats at Gallup
were anxious to hear Colonel Bryan
speak, and there was quite crowd at
the Gallup station to greet the silver
champion. In response to their urgent
invitation he stepped out upon the back
platform and delivered one of his typi-
cal speeches. The people applauded and
when the noise subsided the mayor of
the town climbed up to the speaker and
presented him with a large Navajo
blanket, neatly done up in a parcel say
ing that it was the work Of an Indian
squaw of the city who admired Mr..
Bryan.
The train rev out, and Mr.. Bryan de-
posted his gift upon seat, going into
the smoking room. On returning he
spread out his present, for better
view, and as he did so piece Of paper
pinned on the inside came to view. This
was what he read
my Dear Mr.. Bryan-Under the Re-
publican administration the wool in
this blanket sells for % cents pound.
Under the Democratic administration it
sold for 6 cents. Please tell that to your
constituents
swer the argument and 1t is evident
that there Is at least one traitor in the
ranks of the Democrats in the town of
Gallup, N. M.

Administrations.

New York April 16.--The state con.
ventiOn which promises to be absolutely
devoid of any features will be held in
this city tomorrow by the Republicans
to name delegates to the national con-
vention at Philadelphia. So distinct is
the harmony that there will be no COM
mittee on contested seats, no contesting
delegates and so far as can be learned
no objection to the brief and non-com-
initial program laid down. The dele
gates at large will, 1t is understood be
Thomas G. Platt, Theodore Roosevelt,
Chauncey M. Depew and B. Bodell. The
platform will endorse the administration
of President Mckinley, will ask for his
denomination, endorse the administra-
tion Of Theodore Roosevelt and other
Republican state officers and call atten-
tion to the low tax rate.

An UGLY STRIKE.
The Italian Strikers At Orotou Landing
N.Y., Arm Themselves.

CrOton Landing, N. Y, April 16.-up
to 10 o'clock to-day there was not
move made by the contractors or theil
representatives to put the men to work
at the new dam. 1t was learned that ap-
plications for warrants for the arrest OF
the strike leaders had been made, and
that arrests may occur at any time.
About 8 o'clock this morning the strik-
ers gathered on top of the hill near what
is called Little Italy," and were talked
to in italian by leaders. About forty of
the men on the hill were armed with RI
fes and shotguns. Many others carried
revolvers, and two of them had hatch
cts. The leaders refused to talk with
the reporters of the plans for to-day.
Everything in the valley below was at
standstill. There were over 200 depu-
ties scattered around the works near
the new dam. Infantry and cavalry are
expected to arrive on the scene some
time this evening.

I held a meeting on Saturday, April IA, al
Las Cruces. at which there were pres
ent Messrs. Prince, Curran and More
no, Mr.. Jones being at court in Union
county, and Mr.. Richardson attending
the Democratic convention in Albuquer-
que. ~'"-'---
The annual reports from the sub-ex-
pertinent stations were received and
read. The committee appointed at the
last meeting to devise means to settle
the $500 deficiency in the Morrill, fund
reported that they were having splen-
did success. and had already secured
subscriptions for the greater part Of the
sum needed. They had no doubt Of the
success Of the attempt to raise all the
money within the time required.
The board then proceeded to effect its
permanent organization for the ensuing
year by electing Hon. l.. Bradford
Prince as president of the board. Before
proceeding to elect the secretary and
treasurer the question of salary came
up. This was fixed nine years ago by a
special act of the legislature at $1,000 a
year for the benefit of particular in
dividual, and this excessive remunera-
ton had been a bone Of contention and
source of decentralization ever since. The
necessity for strict economy in the use
of the territorial funds made this an
excellent time to effect a reform in this
particular, and President Prince offered
the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted: Resolved, that
hereafter no person shall be elected as
secretary and treasurer of this board
who will not agree to accept In full pay
ment of his salary as such the sum of
5000 per annum." This matter having
been satisfactorily settled, the board
unanimously elected P. H. Curran, of
Las Cruces, as secretary and treasurer
The appointment of college officers,
professors and teachers was then taken
up and occupied the remainder of the
day and evening. The policy of making
no changes except for good cause was
strictly adhered to as the only correct
basis on which to build up a solid and
successful institution. DR.. Sanders was
unanimously reelected as president Of
the college, and he then made his rec
concentrations as to the other appoint
ments, which in the main were adopted
In two or three cases it was found that
a reduction Of force could be made by a
better distribution Of duties, and while
the college thus loses the services of
persons who were entirely acceptable
yet it was felt that that course must be
pursued in the interest of economy
Nearly the entire teaching force was re-
appointed, the few changes in arrange
ment being in the direction Of making
the institution more truly an agricul-
tural college by emphasizing the in
struction in agricultural and horticul-
tural branches. The resignation of Miss
Ida Jones, who has been connected with
the college from it's commencement, but
who now leaves 1t to assume other du-
ties, was received with much regret.
The date for the commencement exer-
cises was fixed for May 81.

EXPRESS COMPANIES WIN.
Supreme Court Decides That Shippers Must
Paw for Internal Revenue Stamp,

Washington, April 16.-The supreme
court to-day decided the cases involving
the stamp tax as it applies to express
packages, the question involved being
whether the shipper or the carrier shall
pay the stamp charges on packages.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice White, and was favorable to the
express companies. There were two
cases before the court involving the
question at issue, but the opinion was
based upon the case of the American
Express Company VS.. Attorney General
Maynard, of the state Of Michigan. It
came to the supreme court from a de-
cision of the state supreme court of
Michigan, which decision was adverse
to the claims of the express companies.
The opinion to-day reversed the opinion.
