ard, or ever went home drunk, and he
protested that he loved his wife and
always treated her as an affectionate
husband should. Then Severiano says
his troubles are due to his mother-in,

him, has picked out all little faults and
dilated on them so as TO prejudice his
wife against him. In this he says she
has been successful He vowed that
he still loves his wife and stands

TERRITORIAL MINERS.
Senator Clark, Of Montana, Reports
Favorable on House Bill.
IMPORTANT MEASURE.

Senator Clark, of Montana, from the
committee on mines and mining, on
Thursday favorably reported the bill
already passed by the house amending
the act for the protection of lives of
miners in the territories. The bill pro-
vides that owners or managers of
every coal mine at a depth of 100 feet
or more shall provide an adequate
amount of ventilation of not less than
SO 1-3 cubic feet of pure air per second
for every fifty men at work in the
mine. and in like proportion for a
greater number.
The bill as reported to the senate
strikes out the house provision that
workings shall be kept clear of stand
ing gas, and also strikes out the pro-
vision that all owners shall employ
shot firers to fire shots once a day on
each day when the mine is in opera
tion, but they shall not be fired until
after all miners and other employees
shall have been hoisted out of the
mine. Violation of the act constitutes
a misdemeanor.
Senator Teller had a conference with
the commissioner of Indian affairs
Thursday morning, the outcome OF

Indian appropriation bill giving the
commissioner the power to purchase
water for the use of the Southern Utes
on their lands in southwestern Colo
RADIO and northern New Mexico. At the
present time the Indians there are alb
solutely dependent upon waste waters
which come to them and the seepage
from other irrigated lands above. All
the water for the region comes from
the Dolores river, and the bitches are
controlled by the Montezuma Ditch
company. This company annually ais
poses of practically all the water it can
get from the river to white settlers
above the reservation. If the company
is TO be called upon to supply the In
dians it will be necessary to construct
dam.

Gallup Oil 5 of the Most Desired

DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.

r. j. Turnbull was in this morning
from the oil fields of Mckinley county
and he is enthusiastic over the pros
poets and over the country. The oil
has a paraffiine base beyond doubt and
Mr.. Turnbull is elated thereat. "We
were sure it was of paraffine base,
he said, ''but there were many who
believed it was of an asphaltum base.
We have had many chunks of almost
pure paraffine come up and the quality
is established without a doubt. The
oil from a paraffine base makes the
very best Illuminating oil and it is the
kim the Standard Oil company is par.
ticularly active after. They buy every

of Gallup. We went through about

Mr.. Turnbull had with him this NOR

OFFICIAL MATTERS.
Supreme Court Decisions in a Num-
Der Of Private Land Cases.
LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.

w. H. Pope, assistant United States
attorney of the court of private land
claims, received word from Washing
ton that the United States supreme
court has affirmed the decisions of the
court of private land claims in three
private land grant cases from Arizona.
One case involved the San Pedro grant
of 10000 acres, claimed in Cochise
county, Ariz., by the Beloj Cattle COM
pany. The court of private land claims
rejected the grant on the ground that
it is entirely located in Mexico. The
United States supreme court affirms
this decision.
The second case is that of the Aqua
Prieta grant, claimed for 10000 acres
in Cochise county, Santiago Ainsa, ad-
ministrator, is the claimant. The court
of private land claims rejected this
claim because the grant is situated in
Mexico. The United States supreme
court affirms this decision.
The third case is that of the San
Rafael del Villa grant also in Cochise
county. The court of private land
claims had originally rejected the
grant. The United States supreme
court ordered the confirmation of the

land claims and the grant was located
for four square leagues or II 900 acres

SUPREME COURT ADJ0URNS.

London, March 24.-There is little
disposition in London to regard the
news of the Boer governments visit to
Pretoria, any too hopefully. Official
circles express doubts of the ability of
Acting President Schalk-Burger and
other civilian leaders of the Beers to
induce such men as DeWet and De-
larey to surrender. Possibly, they
think, the representatives of the
Trapsvaal government are desirous of
sueing for peace, but there is nothing
to show that they have any authority
to impose submission on commanders
in the field. The most hopeful sign is
the announcement that Lord Kitchener
permitted halk-Burger and his CON-
panions to proceed to Orange River
colony. The Westminster Gazette this
afternoon urges that any peace pro-
posal should be regarded on it's merits.
pointing out that the ungenerous as
sumption that previous Boer overtures
were signs of weakness, contributed
largely to the failures of negotiations

manders, DeWet and Delarey, have ar
rived at the height of moral courage.
once attained by General Lee, and
have realized that the truest patriot
ism does not consist in the prolonga-
tion of hopeless struggle" The paper
confesses, however, that the military
situation is not auspicious for such a
change of mind.
The Associated Press has good rea-
son to believe that Lord Kitchener. in
his interview with Schalk-Burger.
agreed to withdraw the banishment
proclamation issued last September II
General DeWet and other Boer leaders
surrendered.
In the house of commons, War Sec
retary Broderick announced that a
fortnight ago Schalk-Burger intimated
to Lord Kitchener the desire to be
granted a safe conduct through the
British lines and back, in order to see
President Steyn with reference to the
possibility of peace proposals.
Lord Kitchener, with the consent of
the government, has acceded to the re-
quest.

The Kids Lost.

Bad weather and a very light crowd
greeted the ball players at the fair
grounds yesterday. The Santa Fe Pa
cifc team went down before the Albu-
querque Browns by the awful score
of 10 TO l. In the first inning each
team scored one run. The second and
third were each goose eggs. In the
fourth the onslaught began. The
Browns played some of the best ball
players in the southwest and of course
had the kids handicapped to consid-
erable extent. Shepard, although suf-
fering from a severe cold. had quite
large list of strike out to his credit.
Mcdonald and Hale were the battery
for the Browns and were backed up
by such stars as Vorhes, Cosgrove.
Breen, Brown, Ortiz, Quier and Smith,
all of whom put up an excellent game,
as is evidenced by the score. Hale
struck out quite a large number and
had the batters from the shops at his
mercy continually.
