THE LEGISLATURE

An elaborate and eloquent memorial
to c'lngress askine for the admission
OF New Mexico to Statehood was pre-.
sented 10 the council. and unanimous.
" adopted.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to consider the matter Of con.
tirgent expenses Of the legislature.
Il has been found that the legislature
had been going it a little too strong on
clerks, assistant j%anitors aud sweepers,
which had caused the pay roll to
mount to an unreasonable figure.
A joint resolution vas intnnduced
and passed the house authorizing the
appointment of a committee OF three
from each house 10 go through the
complied laws and check them I'D to
discover their Inconsistencies and
contradictions, and to report a bill
harmOnizing the laws. In debating
this proposition 1t was stated that
probably afty OF the statutes we're ia
conflict The passage Of this resolu-
lion was not very complimentary to
John P. Victory, Edward L. BARTLETT
and Thomas n. Wilkerson, the com.
missioners who complied the laws.
After a good deal Of discussion the
house passed a bill making liquor
licenses payable annually instead OF
quarterly. II is thought this will cut
down the number of saloons, and pre-.
vent the starting Of manv saloous Just
before elections, for political purposes.
Resolutions expressing the regret OF
the council because Of the death OF
the Hon. Thomas a. Finical OF Alhu.
querque, who was a member of the
council for two terms.
The bill to prohibit the killing OF
sung birds passed The council, also the
one prohibiting the killing of any elk,
deer or antelope in the territory for a
period Of five years, excepting that a
mao may kill these animals on his
own premises, and that superintcnd-
ents of parks and forests reserves may
give permission TO kill them 10 the
park or forest reserve.
Representative Walton introduced
a hill requiring probate clerks to give
a bond.
The legislature adjourned over from
Friday to Monday.
When the house met Monday there
was no report from the committee ap-
pointed to cut down expenses, so ID
keep something doing a resolution was
offered raising the nav of the CHEZ
clerk, his assistant and the steno
grapher TO Sc per day: the reading
clerks pay to So, and providing 80 pei
day each for the speaker and CHIEF clerk
for contingent expenses. The resolu
too was read and laid over to await
future action.
The bill providing that the sigma
ture OF a wife is necessary TO make
deed valid passed the house, and The
bill to reduce the liquor license was
defeated.

MOVING A BIG CIRCUS.
The Attaches Are Drilled in Life-sav-
Ing Tactics.

The conduct. transportation and manage
men of a modern big circus has been fire.
quently compared TO the mobilization and
movement of a small army. One point
wherein it differs. however. is the work
of the man behind the gun. The circus
man has not the bullet of an enemy to
fear. His arch enemy Is wind, with its
attending dangers. In the face OF a we'll
developed Western hurricane he has not
a ghost Of a show. Calamity counts for
naught In eleven out of a dozen cases.
With a show like the Forepaugh & Sells
Brothers circus. the attaches are drilled
in Ife-saving tactics. In event of storm
or fire he has a special duty to perform.
Where a half hours warning of a wind
storm is given, the circus is able 10 remove
its menagerie and elephants to a point Of
safety and lower the city OF tents. But
should Il be apparent that the storm would
strike the tents In ten or fifteen minutes,
all lights are e~Xtinguished the elephants
only are taken from the menagerie. and
the canvas is lowered on top of the cages
and the seats. The elephants are taken
To the open for the reason that they have
a terror of storms and would undoubtedly
wreck everything If they ever started on a
rampage.
The greatest danger. and the one con-
stantly feared by the circus man is the
ciear-sky hurricane. resulting from cyclon-
ic conditions in the air. Those come with
out warnings. The sky may be perfectly
clear. when all at once "A terrific wind will
sweep the country, especially in the West
ern States. In such cases ii is the first
duty and aH-important duty OF every cir
Gus attache high-salaried or smal-waged.
10 lower the chandeliers in all haste and
eXtinguish the flame.
While such storms are not of frequent
occurrence. the circus managers work on
the same theory as the teamShi COM
panies and make sure that one calamity is
not followed by another. The fact that
millions of people attend circuses every
year without injury is the best demonstra-
ton OF the effectiveness of the %precaution
taken by the managers to insure safety.

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE
FOUR MEMBERS OF A FAMILY IN
GREAT DANGER FOR A TIME.
The Peculiar Rescue of a Baby by n
Motorman-FamiIy OF Deane
Stephenson Injured.

Four members OF the family OF Deane
c. Stephenson, cashier for Kingan * Co.
had a most remarkable escape from death
about s o'clock last night on East Wash
ington street, about four squares east of
the Belt Railway. Mr.. Stephenson, in
company with his sister-in-law, his brother
Bruce, fifteen years OF age, and his son
Maurice, eighteen months old. were driv-
ing eastward beside the street-car track.
Greenfield car No. 20. running at high
speed, was coming toward the city. The
horse became frightened and started to
run. The animal in its fright turned in
closer to the car track as the car came
near. and the buggy was struck by the car.
Stephenson was thrown out and against
the closed door of the front vestibule. The
force of his fall opened the door, but he
was unable 10 secure a hold and fell back
beside the car, slightly cut about the head
and much bruised about the body.
The baby Maurice was thrown for
ward directly over the track. Ii
struck the front of the car and
before it could drop a motorman running
the motorman of the Greenfield car.
reached out and grabbed for it.. Fortu-
Eately he caught the child 10y the foot and
held it, thus preventing it from falling in
front of the car, where 1t would have un-
doubtedly been run over. The child's head
was cut in several places.
Bruce and the sister-in-law were not
thrown from the buggy. but both were
slightly bruised. The horse continued run
ming for about two hundred feet, when ii
was stopped by Bruce, who managed to get
hold of the lines before they fell from the
dashboard.
The injured persons were taken into the
house of DR.. Williams, nearby, and there
temporarily treated before going TO their
home at 3006 East Washington street. In
the excitement the members of the family
neglected to secure the name of the man
who, by his presence of mind, saved the
infant from death. Several cuts on the
heads of the babe and Stephenson were
sewed up by DR.. Lukenbill.

DUN a CO.'S
Steel Strike So Far Has Had Little
Adverse Effect on the Industry.

NEW YORK, July 26.-R. G.. Dun & Co.'S
weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say: A fortnight of the steel strike has
passed without materially altering the po-
sition OF the contestants or adversely affect
ing the industry as a whole. Exceptional
activity is noticed at the mills not affected
by the strike. and the movement of struc-
tural material for bridges, buildings and
track elevation is still heavy. Steel bars
for agricultural implement makers are IN
in price and freely purchased. Railways
seek freight cars, and rails are sold for
delivery next January. Cotton ties, sheets
and hoops are commanding a premium.
Pig iron is accumulating, but producers
offer no concessions. Orders for tin plates
were not accepted for delivery before Oct.
! when the strike began. owing 10 the over
sold condition of mills, and distant con-
tracts are still taken at unchanged prices,
but jobbers are receiving higher prices Tor
goods deliverable Immediately. Tin has
fallen to the quotations prevailing IN Nav.
owing TO the lack of demand here and
weakness in London.
Dry hides are still in light demand. with
values firmly held, while a few grades of
Chicago country hides are lower.
Variations in the corn market on Mon
day indicated manipulation by stock mar
ket interests. Weather reports alone were
not sufficientIy distressing to carry the
