SOUTHERN PACIFIC OFFICIAL
CONFIRMS THE STORY
That the Phelps-Dodge People are
PaSo.

There is NO longer any doubt that
the Pheips-Dodge railroad is coming
into FL Pase.
Another and more substantial proof
of this fact was given out here this
morning by a prominent official of
the Southern Pacific company, but as
usual he requests that his name be not
mentioned.
THE Phelps-Dodge company are
coming to Eel Paso with their road, 3"
he said. however it does not become
me to advocate it 1t is a bad thing
for the Southern Pacific but the de-
cision think is made and nothing
can change them. Their mineral lines
now touch the best country in Ari-
zona and with a line into Ell Paso
they could have completa control OF
the richest country in the territory.
The officers of the company have good
business Judgment and will never build
to Il place like Separ."
The father of the story says that the
company now have most of their plans
completed and the road will enter this
city before the close of the present
year.

NEGRO QUESTION
Is Now Up In ali Its Porten-
tousness and he Admins
tration Will Now Fry
To Down 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 190l.-CAp-
gress signalized the advent of the new
century by raising 1egislationaI is
sue OF transcendant importance, in
volving the grant of suffrage extended
to colored citizens since the civil war.
What promised to be an exceedingly
tame opening was transformed to a pe-
litical conflict in the house when Con-
gresham Olmstead of PENNSYLVANIA
introduced resolution calling upon con-
gress to investigate the alleged inva-
sion upon legislational rights by a
number of southern states which have
dlsfranchised negro voters
The republican and democratic nhal-
anxes Immediately wheeled int. tine
for bitter fight on the race issue.
The resolutions aver that the four
teenth amendment of the constitution
is violated by the southern states and
authorizes subcommittee of the con-
gressmen composing the Hopkins cen
sus committee to investigate the
charges.
Before the reading OF tie resolution
was completed. the democratic leader
OF the house, Richardson, OF Tennessee
demanded to be heard on a question of
order
Congressman Underwood. of Ala
bama, took advantage of the conf,,s-
ion to move adjournment
An aye and nay vote revealed that
a majority opposed the motion for ad-
Journment, and Olmstead demanded
the first reading of the resolution.
He and Richardson then engaged in
warm debate as to the authority of
the house to give precedence to the res
olution of inquiry over the apportion
ment bill.
This brought from Speaker Hende--.
son solemn and impressive speecn,
and ruling, in which he quoted a sec
tlon from the constitution calling uu.
on congress to investigate any infringe
ment on constitutional privilege grant
eo by the fourteenth amendment.
He characterized the Olmstead reso-
tuition as wise and in accordance with
the constitutional mandate.
| Th1s ruling came as distinct sur
prise to both republicans and demo-
Gratis. as it places the administration
in position of favoring the reopeninx
of the negro disfranchisement issue
which has become burning one since
the wholesale disfranchisement of ne
gro voters by the southern states On

BLOW BLOWS NOT
THE DISCOVERER OF THE
ALLEGED DIAMONDS
Wishes to Keep it all to Himself, at
Least Until all the Necessary Papers
are Filed.

A staff correspondent of The Herald
who was sent to Captain yesterday TO
the discovery of diamonds
in that district wires that he called
on j. ]. Blow, who found the aliege
diamonds, and lnat Blow declined to
either affirm or deny the report. He
appeared reluctant to talk until more
thorough investigation had been made
It is the general belief at Captain
that Blow and his associates are
quietly arranging to take up as many
available claims in the district as pos
sible and they are anxious to keep the
value of their hnd as well as their
motives secret until their purpose mas
been accomplished.
1t is thought that an agent OF theirs
has already been dispatched to Ros-
we'll to file the necessary papers for
the diamond claims.
from authentic sources The Herald
learns today lat already three strong
companies have been organized TO
work the ulamond mines.
The Alamogordo News in its last is
sue says:
|. Gardner Williams, manager OF the
De Beers Consolidated company OF
South Africa, has Deen cabled to come
at once and report on the field here
and take charge of the operations OF
the new company.
The Linderman coal company owns
considerable ground in the diamond
belt, and 1T wi doubtless arrange 10
have the holdings thoroughly pros
pected. Officials of the Ell Paso q
Northeastern railway have formed a
company and instructed Mr.. Blow to
secure for them tract OF land IN the
belt.

A Chance for Everybody.

For the benefit of the poor, the larg- est music store in Montgomery is al- lowing pianos and organs to be taken out now and giving the customer a year to three years use of the instrument before 1t Is paid for This sounds like loaning pianos out for accommodation.
 In all the other lines of trade-dry goods, groceries, farming tools, stoves, or anything used in the home, no other store in the city has ever made such a liberal offer. If there ever was a dis trict blessed in musical opportunities, it certainly is true of Montgomery. For miles around we find a piano or organ in nearly every home. It has come to the time when everybody must own musical instrument, for no one is too poor to buy from E. D. Forbes, 26 Dexter Avenue. adv.

not a theory.
 Every man of them knew that once 1t was his solemn conviction that for cible annexation by our code of mor- ality would be criminal aggression, and that in less than six months he was very busily engaged in forcible annex ation.
 Every man of them knew that early one December his conviction was that our plain duty was to give the Porto Ricans free trade with the States, and that before the end of the following month he was doing all he could to prevent Congress from discharging that plain duty.
 In short, every one of the six men knew how easily long-settled convic- tions were dissolved in the Mckinley mind. Therefore, it is not surprising that they took great pains to pin him down tight to his long, settled convic- ton about third term. He may stay pinned down, but we may stake our last dollar on the proposition that he will not if he can persuade himself that he has chance of a third nomi- nation and election.

Eis ssLong-Settled Convictions" Il the Past Have Been Unstable.

tAkO .6 0oS A@oNO ~~~~~@ Chicago Chronicle.
 MT. Mckinley sought the seclusion of the back porch with six members of his Cabinet for the purpose of read ang to them his letter of regret to the American people. That is how we happened to know what passed be- tween Mir. Mckinley and the six on that memorable occasion. Somebody with an audiphone was down below taking notes.
 MT Mckinley read: T will say now, once for all, expressing long-settled conviction, that not only am not and win not be a candidate for a third term, but would not accept nomina- fion for it If it were rendered me"
 We need not wonder that one of the six remarked: "Once that is given out a third term becomes an impossibility. That is a pledge which you can never break, no matter what circumstances arise" We need not wonder that an- other of the six asked: Are you abso- tutely sure of yourself?" Are vou positive there could be no emer- gency in which you might accept a third nomination and election?" No wonder this one of the six proceeded to hold out the third term fried oyster and turn 1t this way and that in the most tempting manner before the eyes of his chief.
 Every one of the six knew that MT. Mckinley was subject to attacks of "long-settled conviction" and that his recovery was certain in the long run and often as sudden as the attack.
 Probably every man of them recalled the fact that in 1890 it was "a settled conviction and not a theory in the Mckinley mind that we couldn't go out hunting for markets abroad without cutting the wages of our toilers in half and doing other things fraught with disaster and ruin to the American peo- pie, and every man of them knows that he has been out hunting for mar kets abroad for more than two years, in spite of that conviction which was
