The entire structure is tifty-tiye feet long, sixteen feet wide, measurement of the roadway inside the parapets), and sixteen feet from the bases of the arches to the coping on the tops of the parapets. The foundations are laid upon solid bedrock, a depth of twenty-six feet having been sunk at the south end to reach 1t. The north abutment of the bridge rests upon the international line, the chan nel at that point being entirely in Mexico. Wings or sidewalks extend from the ends of the parapets up and down the arroyo, and they are backed upon each side with filling of earth upon level with the roadway of the bridge.
 Accessory to the ceremony the bridge was decorated with the flags of both republics elevated on stand ards at regular intervals along the parapet, and from these standards were stung long festoons of the national colors of both countries, intertwined.
 At the hour appointed the Presi- dent of Nogales, Sonora, MT. Ignacio Bonillas and Mayor W. F.

day, several hours late. Local officials
of the railroad company say they know

say the matter is in the hands of the
general officers at New York
The recent deaths of the notorious
Charles Foulke and James Mccarthy,
train wreckers and safe blowers, after
an accident at the Midland juno
ton, is recalled in support of the
belief of railroad officials that an
organized gang of desperate men
is In the vicinity, intent on wrecking a
train or robbing an express car The
attempt Saturday morning failed because
OF lack of knowledge by the thieves of
the arrangement OF the train.

Some Securities Not Too High.
NEW YORK. April 1.-THE street has
watched with undated interest the
course of the hish-priced railway stocks,
Burlington. Northwestern, st. Paul, ROCK
Island. Delaware and Hudson, and those
of secondary Importance like Union Pa
cific and Northern Pacific. Some of these
stocks have jumped up sensationally. AT
times advances of many points have been
scored off-hand There have been attend
ing rumors galore, fables uncountable;
every manner of consolidation, combina-
ton, and mystery being overvorked
Manipulation has had free swing.
Here and there. occasionally, possible
facts have been recited or suggested; but
in few cases has there been anything like
an approach to the truth to possibility
much less probability. Wall Street-in
this particular, at least-stands apparent
ly hypnotized, listening to foolish tales,
gambling upon the expectation of mira
Giles, making investments upon sheer
basis of righteousness.
OF course, this sort of thing must end
as always it does end, with disappoint-
ment, penalties, and distresses for those
who are rash and for those who too much
confide But II is bold skepticism that
dares lust now to intrude upon fashion
able enthusiasm, for the man who doesn't
expect Burlington st. Paul, and Rock ISL
and TO go soaring to 25O and higher is
man who in Wall Street now needs many
and many a defence. Just little hgur-
ing, just a little scrutiny of official re-
ports, might change this popular Juror;
but who would figure, who cares for GER
tilted statistics or official reports while
we have the manipulation melody of deals,
deals, deals?
This is bad, for it is dangerous, threat
ening sequels that can be widely disturb
ing 1t is common-sense doctrine, and
none other can have common sense in it,
that securities are worth what their yield
makes them worth-"deals work no
miracles. The present market has reach
ed that point where it is wise for buyers
to be very carefully discriminating. Some
securities should yet be considered good
purchases on the small reactions. Others
are already too high.
The money market outlook is a trifie
better than 1t was a few days ago. The
bank statement was a fine one. The talk
of exports of gold is abating and some
of the Jig bankers now say that exports
are improbable.
1t is impossible TO say If another sharp
break like that of last Monday will occur
tomorrow or early in the week, but the
chances favor irregularity with slump
before many days have passed.
