ALREADY AT WORK.
Attorney General is investigating the
Alleged Beef Trust

Washington, April ia letter from
Attorney General Knox relative to the
so-oalled beef trust was made public to-
day by Representative Ray, of New
York, chairman OF the house commit
tee on judiciary. In view of the at
torney generals letter. the judiciary
committee decided without division to
recommend the resolution of Mr..
Thayer, of Massachusetts,, asking the
attorney general what steps were
taken against the beef trust, to lie on
the table. The attorney generals let
ter was given in Chairman Rays re-
port on the resolution.
The report quotes Mr.. Rays letter OF
April IL to the attorney general, in
which he asks ii attention had been
called to the Thayer resolution; If he
had been requested to take any official
action in the matter: and If he has any
evidence of the existence of such a
combination. The attorney general an
swers the first two questions mega
lively and follows with a statement
there is no evidence that coulu be
classed as legal evidence. Continuing,
the attorney general says:
"It is proper, | think, however, to
add that owing TO my position and the
oft-repeated and circumstantial nature
of allegations, that the law is being fla
grantly violated, directed sometime
ago a thorough investigation to be
made and that one district attorney OF
the United States be assigned for the
purpose of ascertaining the fact If such
a combination existed. and whether, II
so, its operations are in violation OF
any federal statute"
Continuing, the report says: 1T is
apparent from this correspondence
there is no necessity for the adoption
of the resolutions. BY reason of the
widespread notoriety OF the matter,
the attorney general of the United
States has already ordered thorough
investigation. There is no doubt he
will perform his duty and prosecute
all offenders. if offenders there be-"

I'VE have bought large amount of

Later Mr.. Harris was asked if he
had anything to add to the formal
statement. He took out a pencil and
changed the original statement so 1t

Chief Rupees Report.

After the reading of the above finan-
cial report, the clerk picked up the re-
port of Fire Chief Ruppe and read as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, Albuquerque N. M:
Gentlemen:-I hereby make my re-
port for the fire department for the
year ending April IA, 1902:
The department answered during
that time AZ alarms, of which. 27 were
communicated by the fire alarm sta
tions throughout the city, Is by tele-
phone, and by the bell tower.
The property involved by these fires
amounted to $l32, ,475.00; the amount of
insurance carried on said property
amounted to $50, $780, the total amount
of damage suffered was $S,973, leav-
ing only 81 ,230 as loss uncovered by
insurance. To say that these figures
should be satisfactory to your honor
able body is to say the least, and
hardly believe there is city IN the
United States that can make a better
showing than Albuquerque.
The total expense for the year was
S3,174.50. The council should not lose
sight of the fact that We are receiving
about $500 from the per cent insur-
ance tax, which makes the expenses OF
the department not exceed the sum
paid for the volunteer service, which
was not as efficient as the present, for
the reason that it did not possess the
equipment We at present have

OIL EXPERT MYERS.
He is Here From California and Will
Ente. Service Of ManueIito Oil
3 Company.
HE TALKS OIL.

w. Myers, an oil expert from Cali
fornia, is in the city, and will leave in
few days for Gallup, where he will
superintend the work now being done
by the Manuelito Oil company. Mr.
Myers was introduced at The Citizen
Office by Engineer Norris, and, in a
conversion, the gentleman talked as
follows:
Il find from a careful investigation
that the Manuelito Oil companys
lands near Gallup are located in per-
feet oil belt. They are surrounded
with direct evidence of fine oil strata.
| have just examined and anaalzed a
quantity of dark oil shale, which is
found in large quantities on the lands.
find this shale to contain solid par
af1lne base, which is an output of a
large oil strata of good quantity. This
company has a body of the shale or
asphaltum spoken Of which is eighty
feet thick and which has a heating ca
pacity even greater than the best coal.
1t burns easily in any position. This
asphaltum is produced by flow of
crude oil. This company has well
sunk on this property to depth of
216 feet. At a depth of 130 feet they
passed through rich strata of oil sand
four feet thick and at a depth of 1872
feet they struck another strata of oil
sand even richer than the first. They
are still drilling in this body of rich oil
sand. You will observe that the oil
sand or strata in this country. like
California, seems to stand on edge or
stand about 50 degrees and it is the
edges of these stratas that the drill
first encountered and in large body
OF one of these is where the drill is
now working.
1T is very easy to ascertain these
facts as a shaft six feet square has
been sunk to a depth so feet. which
can be easily explored. All the differ
ent stratas are plain to be seen."

TOO HEAVY CHARGE.
Burglars Blew UP the Safe, Building
and Themselves.

Duluth, Mimi, April 15.-Telephone
advices from Eveleth today reported
the destruction by fire last night of the
city Jail and the blowing up of the Du-
luth, Missabel & Northern railroad de-
pot by burglars at that place.
In the Jail an unknown prisoner
was burned to death. Several hours
later burglars blew up the depot safe.
They overestimated the amount Of
nitro-glycerine needed and with the re-
suit the report woke up the entire
town and shattered windows Of houses
for blocks around. When the citizens
reached the scene the station lay in
ruins and the debris had caught fire
from the stove. The flames were ex-
tinguished and then an unsuccessful
search was made for the safe. 1t was
too big to carry away and it is thought
it must have been blown in pieces too
small to be located. No traces were
found of the burglars and it is not
known whether they were killed or
made their escape.

LION AND BULL.
Hundreds Witness Cory Spectacle
at the Arena at Juarez.
THE LION WHIPPED.

A battle at Juarez, Mexico, on Sun
day, between a Numidian lion and q
wild Samalayuca bull was Witnessed
by thousands of people. One fourth of
OF spectators were American women.
The battle continued fiercely for an
hour. The bull was not fatally hurt, but
the lion was gored fully twenty-five
times, and will doubtless die. His leg
was broken and ne was completely
vanquished in strength and spirit.
When the lion was incapacitated the
Mexican authorities ordered the battle
stopped.
The battle took place at the Plaza de
Toros, which Is just across the Rio
Grande from Ell Paso. In this arena
have occurred scores of bull fights, but
no attraction of recent years caused
such high expectation of bloody scenes
as Sundays fight between the lion and
the bull.
In the center of the arena was erect
ed a large iron cage, octagonal In
shape, ninety-six feet in circumference.
Into this the bull was decoyed. The
lion was in a smaller cage adjoining
and connected with it by a uoor. At
blast of the trumpet the door was open
ed and the lion rushed into the larger
cage, the door being closed behind
him, and the smaller cage removed SO
as to give the spectators an unob-
structed view.
The attendance at this spectacle ex-
celled any ever seen In this section.
The trolley cars carried thousands
across the Rio Grande, while hundreds
of carriages and pedestrians crossed
the bridges. Thousands came from
other places, and the two cities are
filed with visitors.
The lion is the property of A. ]. Nor
rison, an American of nineteen years
residence in Africa, who raised him
from a cub and is now three years of
age. He is one of the finest specimens
ever seen in captivity.

kilograms from cities on the Pacific
coast, urging the passage of the Platt

Many dispatches expressed the opinion
that the pending bill Is too severe. The
bill was then laid aside and the senate
held a brief executive session.

crosED THE SCHOOLS.
Buildings Used as Barracks for Troops
In Belgium.


Brussels, April 15.-In consequence
of the disorders the pupils of several
communal schools have been dismissed
and the premises utilized as barracks
for troops. All factories and mines at
MorlanwelZ, Vallare and Mabille are
closed. Socialist disturbances occurred
last night at Namur. The mob stoned
the police, who charged with drawn
swords. Subsequently a force of gen.
daImes scattered the rioters.
The strike Is steadily extending in
this city and it's suburbs. especially in
Molenbeek. where a number of large
factories have stopped work. The mill
tary and police adopted more stringent
measures to preserve order. The bur-
gomaster refused the socialists request
to be allowed to follow their own de-
vices in burying the socialists killed
during Saturdays roits. Orders were
issued that the procession be held at 6
o'clock in the morning, without bands
or funeral emblems. Otherwise the
interment must be carried outright. 1t
is estimated the strikers in the Char
leroi district now number $4,000. Fre-
quent parades are there, but the town
is generally peaceful, in accordance
with the advice OF strike leaders.
