engines that it seems incredible that
one of them should need help in pulling
any train whatever; the conclusion one
comes to is that the limit of possible
power in the individual locomotive has
been reached in them, so that when still
more power is demanded it can only be
secured by doubling them up. We
meet. it seems. miles of freight trains in
this afternoons run, bea1ing the fruits
of California and the wares of the
Orient to the East and Europe. We

"that red blotch yonder is the ruins of
the old Pecos church, built in 1887"
Whether his chronology is correct or
not the old Pecos church is a most inter-
esting fact. But there were two
churches there, one "Aztec" and one
Catholic there was also pueblo, said
to be worth digging into to this day.
The vast original extent of these sanctu-
aries is shown by the number of paint
ings and other loot from the "old Pecos
church" for sale at surprising bargains
in the shops of Santa Fe; but this is
verging on archaeology, which is too
large subject to be broached in this

a dinner as travellers seldom meet too
good for any but a very honest traveller,
to misquote an old writer. Here too,
one meets with surprising mark OF
approaches each table in the course of
the meal and remarks in confidential
tone that we have some twenty minutes
yet to spare a pleasing courtesy indeed !;
one would think he might have travelled
himself, and after galloping through
wayside meal, seen the engine stand
sizzling on side track for half an hour
waiting for a connection. This jewel
among eating houses is called after
Castaneda, a private soldier of Coro
nado's band, whose diary is one of the
classics of this region let us hope that
he found something particularly good
to eat when he passed this way 800 years
ago.
Now we are in the Pecos valley, and
we have to cross over into that of the
Rio Grande, the Great or Brave River
of the North, as the Spanish called it.
1t is but 65 miles and yet it takes the
rest of the day, and one could wish it
might take a week, for it is Tin the
writer's opinion) one of the beautiful
rides of the country. Its beauty con.
sists in this, that while it is mountain
road, winding in and out between the
bright sunshine and shady recesses
where snow banks lie, yet its path lies
for hours high up on the mountain side,
where the observer overlooks the valley
of the Pecos far and wide and has the
main chain of the Snowy Range always
to hem in his view in the distance.
Perhaps the main charm of it is in the
nature of the Pecos valley itself, which
is thing as different from a valley in
the Alleghanies as it is from a Rocky
Mountain gorge. 1t is wooded and the
trees are evergreen, while the soil is red ;
and it is world by itself, full of little
hills and valleys of it's own, and puzzling
effects in light and shade, and so vast
that one can only guess at sizes and dis
tances in the great panorama that lies
before him. When you have not seen
it before, and are not expecting it, and
hardly know what it is, and do not at all
know where the train is going next nor
what new variation the next curve will
bring in sight, when, in a word, novelty
and expectation add their peculiar charm
to landscape wonderfully charming in
in itself, you are likely to find this alto
gether the part you will remember long
est out of ride that has not contained a
dull mile from it's beginning.

distance by smoke of white dust fol-
lowing some chance cowboy on his pony
or Mexican on his burro. One looks to
but for some reason the dust does not
appear. How it is prevented is not clear
one is used to being smothered with
dust on railroads in much less dusty
countries. 1t is clear we are getting
further south. Windows are open here

sitting by them bareheaded the sun is

it is like one of those inspiriting days of
which we in the northern states get one
in the early spring of some years, and in
other years none at all. Can this be
their home? New Mexico would per-
haps not be such bad place to live in
that case and in truth the inha bitants
say it is not. All the two hundred
passengers are rejoicing in the sun and
air. The number of old people, very
DID, wrinkled, white-haired, trembling
people, on the train is noticeable one
can but hope that California, whittier
they, with most of the other passengers

store for them than this day.
Along the rim of the plain to the west

among which one is evidently Taos

What appears to be certain is that the
explorer Coronado, of whom Nebraskans
have heard good deal, passed through
that now deserted village before us,
both going and coming, in his expedi-
tion in search of golden cities on the
plains more than three centuries and
half ago. And it seems wonderful, and
somewhat shameful as we'll, to an anna
teur Investigator from Nebraska, where
we are in doubt as to the course of trails

New York, Feb 15-"The Carnegie
Steel company, as such, has ceased to

ment was made by a high official of
the American Steel and Wire company.
By this it was implied that all details
for control Of that company by the
Morgan syndicate have been completed

and final announcement is due to mat
tiers affecting the other companies,
which it is believed will be taken in.

KILLED BY TIGER
Youthful Animal Keeper Meets
with Horrible Death at
Indianapolis.

indianapolis, Feb. 15-Albert Neil
son, the 1~5-year-old keeper of lion
cubs at the Zoo in this city, met a ter
rib]e death today in the cage of a Ben
gal tiger.
It was Nelson's duty to feed the
cubs. Instead of opening the door of
the cub cage, absent mindedly, it is
supposed, he opened the door of the
tigers cage. The animal crouched in
a r until Nelson was inside the
door and then sprang upon him and
bore him to the floor, and was about
to begin eating him alive, when help
arrived. Keepers prodded the animal
with redhot irons, and five revolver
shots we're fred into the maddened
brute's head.
Nelson managed to crawl toward
the door and he was dragged from the
cage. He died in a few minutes.

WHAT RECORD WILL SHOW
Drawing Salary from Public Treas
ury While Looking After
Private Matters.

Washington, Feb. rs Senator
Stewart Of Nevada has introduced a
resolution calling on the attorney gen.
eral for information as to reports made
to the department showing the num-
Der of judicial employees in the Second
Judicial district of Alaska.
It is claimed that the reports will
show among other things that A. K
Wheeler, Judge Noyes' private secre-
tary, is now being paid $3.50 a month
from the federal treasury without per-
forming any work to earn his salary.
He has been away from the district,
it is said, since last fall and most of
the time in Washington looking out
for Judge Noyes' personal and private
affairs and not Oh public business.
The reply to the resolution will also
show that Wheeler acted as attorney
for claimants in Judge Noyes' court
while drawing salary as private sec1e-
tary.
Judge Noyes' opponents are predict
ing that some action will be taken by
the president and the attorney general
when the decision of the circuit court
of appeals in the Mckenzie contempt
case is received.
It is expected here Monday.

promptly locked up.
Later the elder Prince was arrested
and locked up in a cell near his son.
Albert Prince, who is a travelling man
dolin player, is out of the city, but
the officers know where to reach him.
When appraised of the fact that the
male members OF her family were to be
arrested, Mrs. Kennedy became in
tensely excited and paced back and
forth in her cell
"I think it is all outrage she said,
''to make others suffer for what I have
done. I alone am responsible and all
others are innocent"
The killing Of Kennedy was the
elimination of a sensational marriage.

aside, asserting that he had been
forced into it.

A WASTED DAY.
Cannon's Successful F%ilibuster in House
of Representatives. M

Washington, Feb. 15-Under the
leadership Of Cannon, chairman of the
appropriations committee, a long fill
buster consumed the time Of the house
today. Cannon desired the. house to
proceed with the sundry civil approp-
ration bill, but was caught mapping by
the democrats, who desired to devote
the day to the consideration Of pri-
waite claims. It wa the last day under
the rules which could be devoted to
claims at this congress and notices had
been sent out yesterday asking the
democrats to be in their seats today.
As q result Cannon was Outwitted, but
he kept up the fight all day, forcing
roll calls for three hours and later
flibustering in committee of the
whole and winding up by making the
point Of no quorum against two small
bills favorably acted upon in commit
tee. The net result was that that the
whole day was wasted.

gressive leadership of the Burlington,

of these are small. During the greater

ward whenever any considerable offer
ings came upon the market. The
spots of strength here and there among
the more obscure stocks did not sus-
tain prices i'll the general list. Lon
don's buying of Americans served
only as a temporary prop, although the
opening advances extended to about a
point in several of the international
stocks.
A further violent break in the
smelling stocks which carried the COM
nor down az and the preferred 2,
was the first development to seriously
undermine the market. The metal
stocks we're all affected in sypmathy
and the losses in the steel stocks ran
up to two points.
The general list was at one time a
point or more below last nights
level for the principal active stocks.
The late rally was not by any means
universal, but many prominent stocks
were lifted from their early depression.
New York Central's rise of IN and
Delaware & Hudson's 10 points appar-
emily had some connection, although
what it was, was not disclosed.
