CONCESSION FORFEITED,
Captain Smiths Colonization Plans
 Fail to Materialize Satisfactorily.

The following communication is
 self-explanatory:
 con December 26th, 1898, your
 constituent, Alfonso B. Smith, made
 contract with this department
 for the purchase and colonization of 195, ,000 hectares of national land
 resulting from the measurements which Manuel Martinez del Rio, as assignee of the rights of the Mex
 ican International Company, under contract of December 18th, 1885, effected in 1892, in the district of Altar, state of Sonora; it being stip- ulated in the first article of that contract that the concessionaire or the company which he might or ganize, should present to this de- partment for approval the memoirs and plans with respect to the recti- fcation of said measurements with in year from the promulgation of the contract in question. That year expired on January IS, 1899, without the stipulations of the con tract being compiled with, and in- asmuch as the reasons which you set forth as an excuse for not hav- ing presented said memoirs and plans cannot be considered circum- stances of force majeure, seeing that the difficulties in the way of rectifying the measurements, which arise from the natural conditions of the soil, existed when the con tract was entered into, the presi- dent of the republic has seen fit to direct on this account that the con- tract be declared, as it is hereby declared, to be null and void.
 Wherefore, inasmuch as accord ing to Art. 13 of the contract, the concessionaire became bound to pay a fine of one hundred dollars in bonds of the public debt for every family that he might fail to estab- fish; and as according to Art. , of the contract twenty families ought to have been established within two years from its promulgation, which obligation has not been complied with; your constituent must pro- ceed to pay into the general treas ury of the federation, the sum of two thousand dollars in bonds of the consolidated debt to pay the

PROSPECTS IMP ROWING.

The return to the republican
 column of the states of Colorado,
 Idaho, Montana and Wyoming,
 have principal arguments those
 eastern republicans who have op-
 posed the admission of more west
 ern states as having a tendency to imperil the supremacy of the party principles and policies in the ad- ministration of national affairs. Before the silver issue arose the Rocky Mountain states were re- liably republican. Shortly after their admission the silver heresy became a burning question in na- tional affairs, and upon local con- ditions those states went over to the democracy. Upon all other propositions they are naturally re- publican, and whenever the issue which caused the waver of their al legiance should disappear they might be expected to return to the fold. But the eastern republicans, sore at their defection, could not understand that, and they conse- quently stood plainly and fatly upon the proposition that there shall be no more democratic states.
 The recent election has made it plainly apparent that the great west is naturally republican. Even Arizona has been shown to be de batable ground. THE OASIS has always contended that it is natur- ally republican. All that is neces- sary, as we have frequently assert ed, is to unite the party and bring out the vote. At the election of November 4th the party was more closely united than before through many years. The result was grati- flying. The democratic majority was reduced to a narrow margin, and weak points developed in the line of the enemy which in another campaign will be broken. With the influences now indifferent which will be aligned with the re- publican party in a statehood elec- tion in Arizona, the party through out the entire state would be unit ed enthusiastic and victorious. Our eastern republican friends be- gin to see that, and the hope for admission grows consequently i

Lava sfreamn.

It Is scientifically reported that the

were so hot twelve years later that
steam was issuing from the cracks

the eruption of Etna in 1887 were
found to be steaming hot just below
the top crust as late as 184O. But still
more remarkable are the scientific re-
ports Of the volcano Jorullo, in Mexi-

SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE.
You May Learn Something From Evp
erybOdy You Meet.

One of the most useful success habits
one can form is that of learning some
thing from everybody with whom he
comes in contacts No information which
can be acquired is too trivial to be i&
uCTed.
/ Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet. You will find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before and which, per.
haps, you would never have chance
to learn again if you did not acquire II
from him.
Daniel Webster once made great
hit in arguing a case before jury by
repeating a story which he afterward
said he had not thought Of since he
heard it fourteen years before. But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future use. His famous reply
to Hayne, the greatest speech ever de
Mvered on the American continent, waA
largely made up of little reserves which
he had picked up here and there in his
reading, from studying men and from
observation.
Many a prominent novelist has col
lected material for his stories by max
ing notes Of his conversations with
those he has met and by observation,
Charles Dickens got a great deal Of the
matter for some Of his novels in this
way.
One young man will go to lecture
and after spending an hour listening to
the helpful, inspiring words of some
prominent man will leave the hall or
lecture room without having derived
any benefit from the address. Another
young man will attend the same lee
ture with an ambition to learn some.
thing. He will drink in the speakers
sentences as If he were never to hear
such words of encouragement and in
| spiration again. At the conclusion OF
the address he will determine that he
will make more Of his opportunities in
the future; that he will read more,
think more, study more, be more than
he ever was before. Such young man
has a purpose and is determined to
learn something from everything he
comes in contact with and from every.
body he talks to. The other has no am.
bition, does not throw himself into
what he does. let's his mind wander
hither and thither, so that he never
wholly understands what people are
saying and therefore never derives any
benefit or information from those with
whom he converses.-OrisonS SWEET Mar

FACT AND RuMOR.
The story of One Postponed C0blnet
Council In England.

Council In England.
Cabinet councils give rise at times
to rumors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One of Lord Beac-
onsfeld's supplies case in point.
Queen Victoria, so runs the tale, was
anxious about the state of wind and
wave il the mid-Atlantic, which the
Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. A lord in waiting knew a
professor who was weather diviner,
and to him he went with message
from her majesty, who sent also a mes
sage to Lord Beaconsfeld. The lord
In waiting was sent to q theatrical
supper-it was Sunday night-in search
of the professor. Him he found in
this lively company and was himself
constrained to listen to the game of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose If they had to mar
ry, Gladstone or Disraeli? All said
"Disraeli" except one, and she said
Gladstone, SO that l might elope with
0israeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding Disraeli in
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance of his great popularity
with all classes of the queens sub.
jects. The whimsicality Of the thing
was congenial to Disraeli, who was
kept waiting next day at cabinet
council for the arrival Of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns (absit
omen), hearing, did not smile, and his
solemnity put out of countenance the
prime minister, who at once made the
nonarrival Of the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for a couple
Of hours. The balance Of power"
was then unstable, and that afternoon
the papers had headings: "War Immi-
uent. A Second Cabinet Council Sum-
moned." For once the ladies of the
stage made history and staggered the
stock Exchange.-London Chronicle.

YOUNG RAVENS.
QueeY story of the Changing COlon
OF the Newborn Birda.

Queer story of the Changing COlos
OF the Newborn Birds.
I have not learning enough to know
whether in the earliest times ravens
were accounted "unlucky." If so. why
were they chosen from among all the
birds of the air for the merciful er-
rand of carrying bread to Elijah in the
wilderness? Did they steal it? They
are given to theft! Also in the written
word we are assured that "God hear.
eth the young ravens when they cry
out unto him" And nothing Of this
is said of doves or of any other white
or heavenly kind of bird. An expla-
nation is given in the Egyptian com.
mentary on st. Luka in the Coptic
script by Epiphanius, A. d. 3GS-401.
The passage is certainly very curious,
and | am permitted to transcribe 1t
here: why, then, did the evangelist
mention no name among the birds e4-
cept ravens only? Because the hen
raven, having laid her eggs and
hatched her young, Is wont to fy
away and leave them On account Of
the hue of their color, for when
hatched they are red in appearance.
Then the Nourisher of all creation
sends to them little swarm Of In
sects, putting it by their nest, and
thus the little ravens are fed until
the color of their body is, as it were,
dyed and becomes black. But after
seven days the old ravens return, and.
seeing that the bodies of their young
have become perfectly like their own,
henceforward they take to them and
bring them food of their own ac-
cord"
1t Is for naturalists to ascertain
whether or no this strange account
Of the young ravens holds good in our
1ay.-Cornhill Magazine.
