y
A notable feature of fair week was
the statehood convention. which de.
serves more than a passing notice, as
for fifty years. on and on, efforts
have been made to secure admission
into the union. but, for one reason
or another. failure has always fol
lowed. Since 1874 a bill has been
presented at each successive con.
gress. In 1890 a convention called
the previous year submitted a new
constitution to be voted upon by the
people, but IL was rejected for
cause" Now. in the opening years
OF the new century. New Mexico
stands at the door of the federal un.
ion and knocks loudly and long. Will
the congressional a hear? Surely.
win Il heed? This none can tell. In
the tseries of resolutions adopted
some powerful arguments are pre-
scented. but there are stumbling
blocks and some Of them have been
placed before the wheels OF state
progress by the people themselves
through their officials.
Here Is what Governor Otero said

ton, in which was representation

Speculation and Theft.

Some statistician, in emulation of Lombroso perhaps, has been figuring g out the habitual employment of con victs. He concludes that more men and women whose employers are the na- tional, state or municipal governments fall into evil ways and come to un- toward ends than those who work for private individuals or corporations. A very large proportion of the men and women who have been handlers of public moneys seem to yield to the constant temptation and begin to pee ulnte, and some cynic ayers that pecu- lation is the corol1ary on speculation. AS a matter of fact, most of the big and little thieves who confess how they were led to take money that did not belong to them declare that specula- tfons of one sort or another brought them eventually behind the bars.

emperor. Francis Joseph is pesonally popular with all the races of his poly glot empire. Bohe emia and Hungary as well as Austria proper, have affection for the aged ruler. Both Hungary and Austria would accept the suspension ol the constitution which the emperor has threatened in the event of the renewal Of the race feuds in parliament. This would make Francis Joseph as nearly an absolutist as any ruler in central or western Europe can be in this demo- cratic age. If Metternich was alive he would welcome the contingency which would constrain the monarch to sus- pend the fundamental law. Metternich told the Austrian Ferdinand I. and the Prussian Frederick William ". that a constitution was the last thing any peo- pie of the German race ever ought tc ask for, and the old Mephistopheles found many persons of his way ot thinking among the potentates of his day. Francis Joseph is very different sort of person from his uncle and prede cessor, Ferdinand, and nothing short oI imperious necessity will induce him tc carry out his threat to rule his coun try as an absolutism. Trouble is ex pected and breakup in the empire is feared when the death of the emperor puts the head of a collateral branch oi the family, who lacks the popularity as we'll as the ability of the present mon. arch, in power.

Jury Trials in EnEland.

Us trial by jury becoming less popu- lar? The London Law Journal thinks there is some ground for believing 2 that it is. The proportion of actions to be tried without juries in the queens bench division during the present term is exceptionally large: :: the jury cases number a95 and the nonju1y cases 190. Even more strik- ing is the want of faith in trial by jury displayed by litigants in the county courts. The total number of actions determined by these tribunals in 1899 was 732 ,O94, and only 1,o1S were tried with juries. The number of ac- tions tried with juries in 1899 was, with the exception Of 1897. the smallest for 16 years. Possibly this decline in the popularity Of trial by jury is due to the increasing tendency of juries to disagree.

STRUCK BY TROLLEY.
One Horse Killed, One Injured and
 Narrow Escape of Five Men.

Narrow Escape of Five Men.
 Hartford. Feb 19.-The worst trolley accident that Hartford has had in some time took place on Prospect avenue. near the Boulevard, about midnight last night. The last car out on the Prospect avenue south line struck q hack belonging to Francis IF. Bracken, and driven by his son, Charles Brack- en. There were four passengers in the carriage. Young Bracken was thrown off his seat over a fence and fell in q lot with only q few bruises as 8 re- suit of his thrilling flight through the air. One horses neck was broken and the other animal was so badly injured that it had to be shot. The four pas sengerS had a mira cuIous escape. The car struck the rear part of the hack With such force and it was going at such a high rate of speed that the hack was pushed along the road for fifty feet before the car could be stopped. The car fender raised the hack up so that the rear part of the carriage went up nearly straight and fell on top of the vestibule of the car. The passen- gers received terrible shaking up and it is wonder that they were not killed. None was injured. The hack was wrecked. The neck of the nigh horse was broken and it died at once. The off horse suffered a broken leg and Bracken shot the animal with Ser geant Umberfield's revolver.

 men Were Found.

Been Used for Years-NIost Disas-
 trous Fire Which Has Ever Visited
 New Haven.
 New Haven, Feb 19-The search for bodies in the ruins of the Judson pack ing house on Canal street. which Was burned shortly after midnight, was continued for hours after the flames were eXtinguished. resulting ill the definite knowledge that the four fire men whose maneled bodies were pulled from under the debris of the fallen wall while the fire was in progress were the only victims. The tiremen were:
 Captain Joseph Condren, No ? steamer.
 Fireman William Reilly, No ? steam CT.
 Fireman Fred Hale. No steamer.
 Fireman Frank Williams, No 1 steamer.
 The injured are James II. Powell, q fireman with truck No ]. who has q compound fracture of a leg. and Louis Coats of Steamer 1, also suffering from 6 fractured leg. It is believed that both will recover.
 The accident occurred shortly after the fire companies reached the burning building. \ wall of brick three stories high. against which several hose streams were being directed, fell with out warning. crushing the men beneath it. All the firemen of that side of the structure immediataely relinquished their efforts to cNtinguish the flames and turned their attention 10 removing the bodies of their comrades. In short time four crushed and blackened corpscs were unearthed and the two injured men were removed to the hos pital.
 The search for more possible victims was kept up until the last pile of rub bish from the fallen wall had been turned over. This morning it is an- nounced that several iiremen who were reported missing last night have been accounted for. and that the tale of the tragedy is complete
 For several years the packing house property has not been used. the last tenants having been F. B. Walker & Co, manufacturers of electrical SUD- plies. It was previously used by the Judson Packing company and the ma tc1al of the interior was so thorough ly saturated with grease from the bod ies of animals slaughtered there that the flames made rapid progress when the fire companies arrived. The crowd of people who stood watching the spectacle forgot it's magnificence after the news of the tragedy became nOised about. and Sobbing women and chil- dren watched the work of the rescuers. in point of loss of life it was the most disastrous fire that has ever Oc- cured in this city. The property loss will amount to S5O,0OO.

 ''Ah, very good" the publisher an- swered; George, if worked up prop eriy, ought to make a first-cIass hero''
 And, the novelist continued as he took a step or two toward the hall. Benedict Arnold is the villain of the story. Benjamin Franklin is the funny man-the fellow that says the droll things, you know. Dolly Madison fig ures in it as the beautiful, gentle maid- en who doesn't know her own heart until every male character in the book has taken a twang at the strings, and Thomas Jefferson is the wise chap who can't see a joke and is always trying to get off logic. But I'm taking up your time. EXcuse me. Printem & CO. across the street, seem to be bringing out a good many successful books lately, l guess I'll go over there.
