MAY BE A UNION DEPOT
But the Best Information Is
To the Effect That An En-
Iargement Of the Yards
Is Planned.

The mystery of the immense real
estate purchases which have been
made of property lying north Of the
Southern Pa :idc railroad holdings dur
ing the past week WAS cleared up th;,
morning by the Information that the
land is being bought in by the South
ern Pacific people.
The information was derived from
several reliable sources and is believed
by those interested in the activity in
real estate circles to be correct.
II was stated this morning by q resi-
dent Of this city who is in touch with
local interests that the SouthernPacif
had long felt the necessity for an in
crease in their yards in Ell Psso, and
that the wholesale purchase Of city
property in the vicinity of their pres
ent holdings meant that the railroad
company was about to enlarge its in
terests here.
Local real estate men have been
actively engaged during the past week
and more in quietly obtaining options
on such property as had bsen desigpat-
ed, it is said, by the railroad promot-
ers. The price which the railroad
company was willing to pay was evil
IDENTIFY a second consideration, and the
rapidity with which the property has
been purchased, together with the
high figures which have bsen paid for
the largest part OF that bought in,
would seem to iud icate that the rail-
road people intend to launch what
ever project they have in mind within
q short time.
A local real estate man stated this
morning that excellent prices bad
baen paid for the property which has
up to the present date changed hands.
He thought that in some instances
moro than the real value of the prop
erty had been paid. This, he aided,
could only mean that the railroad COM
pany wanted the property badly, and
wacted IL at once.
recorded with the county clerk. 1t is
evidently the intention to put them
all on record at the same time when
ell of the required property has been
obtained, and there is no further
secrecy in the matter.
A deed to q valuable piece of improv-
ed property lying In the section north
of the railroad tracks of the Southern
Pacific company, was made out today
in the name of q real estate dealer of
New York city, the money for the
house and lot however, being paid by
v. E. Austin. whose presence in Ell Pa
so has caused suoh furry in real
estate circles.
1t is believed by many that the
Southern Pacific has in view the erec.
tion of a union depot on the property
bounded by Stanton street and the
round house of their road. It lie said
that the needs of Ell Paso are well re-
cognized by the railroad company, and
that moreover q union station Is ne
cesstty which can no logger be neglect
ed.
The Southern Pacific local offic! ais
however declared that they know no.
thing of the large deal now being
made in real estate. The fact that prac.
tically all of the property which is
being bought just now in Ell Psso, is
located in the sections mentioned. is
regarded as being evidence that IL is
all being bought in for one party

DETROIT, Mich, July 24.-It is evid-

The imperial government, having

We have already repeatedly Issued
DEGREES providing for the protection of
the foreign Legations, and have com
manded the provincial authorities to
protect the missionaries. Iuasmuch as
there is still no cessation OF employ
ment of force, the foreign
merchants and subjects residing
in China, who form num-
erous bodies in the country, should be
protected without distinction: whereby
we command all Tartar generals, gov
ernors general and governors Of princes
to look after foreign merchants and
missionaries living in open ports, pre-
lectures, departments and districts un-
der their respective jurisdiction and
afford them due protection in accord
ance with treaty stipulation 5, without
fail.
Last month we heard with profound
astontshment aud regret of the killing
OF the chancellor of the Japanese Iega-
tion, Mr.. Akiraiu, and the same fate
that befell the German minister after
ward. The violent death of the Ger
man minister, whose residence at the
capital was necessary to the transac-
toin of business between the two coun-
tries, affected US very deeply. It is the
duty of the authorities concerned to
cause stringent orders for the speedy
arrest and punishment of the murder
ers to be carried out.
"Since the CONNIE ncement of the war
at Tien Tsin there are foreign subjects
and mission ers who have, on account of
local disturbances, suffered death on
lose Of property through no fault of
their own, whereby we command the
government of Pekin and viceroy of
Chi L, to cause Investigations to be
made by their respective subordinates
OF all such aims except those arising
directly from the eaid attack, with q
view of their ultimate settlement.
Moreover the local outlaws and re-
bellious subjects have of late given
themselves up to burning, killing and
plundering, to the great disquiet of our
loyal subjects.
This is in utter defiance of law. We
hereby command the said governors
general, governors ard commanders of
our forces to investigate the situation
and take such measures for the punish

The United States will attempt this
adjustment on a basis th at will exclude
any vision of the empire among 1or-
