Major McBride's CareeE
Major John Mcbride was born in
Westport, County Mayo, about thirty
six years ago. He is Of small stature,
being only five feet six inches tan.
and is Of a very quiet, unassuming
manner. The Mcbride family is prom
inent in his native place, and one
brother is an eminent physician of
London.
He was in South Africa at the out
break Of hostilities. holding a good
position with one of the johannesburg
mining companies He organized the
Irish Brigade. but would not accept
command Of it. That honor was
given TO Colonel Blake. an American
and a West FONT man.
At Ladysmith the work Of guarding
the besieged guns grew too tame for
the brigade, though there were al
most daily skirmishes, and HcBride
got leave to go down to the Tugela
then "ferrying."
Made Bullock a Prisoner.
He had a leading part in that
memorable action, in which eleven
British guns were captured, and il
was he who personally made a pris-
oner Of Colonel Bullock. Commander
OF the British Artillery.
His lecturing here WAS for the pur-
pose Of demonstrating TO his fellow
countrymen that an armed Ireland
can surely win independence. Miss
Come seconded him. and appealed to
the women Of Irish birth 10 do every
thing possible 10 prevent the recruit
ing Of their kinsmen at home by the
British Both received a continuous
ovation while here, and both are very
friendly to the chiefs Of the Irish mill
liant organization here, whose SER
vices 10 the disbanded soldiers Of the
brigade have been EraCiousiy ac-
knowledged by Major Mcbride.
Kitchener Sought Her Hand.
On Miss Comes last visit to this
country she had a proposal Of mar
rage from S. s. Van Vlissigen. the
Chicago millionaire real estate man.
II is said that the renowned Kitch-
ener himself was sutton for her hand
and that she agreed to accept him il
he would lead an Irish army against
England. He would not. But Nc
Bride is willing.

British Deny Report.

London, June 27.--The war Office
has received a telegram from Somali-
land enabling it to contradict the
French report of a British disaster.
ne last news of the Mullah was that
he was lowering eastward of the
British forces, threatening the lines
between Burao and Bohotle, which
were only Dritish means of commune
cation with the coast. Gen. Manning
was expected to reach Bohotle June 26
with Te-enforcements.
The war office dispatch received to-
day was sent by General Manning
from Bohotle, June 26, and announced
his arrival there unopposed. He cap
tured a number of the Mullah's camels
and sheep on his way to Bohotle. The
general said the Mullah with his fight
ing men had crossed the British line
of communications half way between
Ramot and Bohotle. s.. he Mullah 6
move was due to the oritish hold OF
the Mundug district and the pressure
of the Abyssinians who are advancing
from the south.
General Manning added: This flight
of the Mullah would have been turned
into a rout if it should be possible tC
send a column of sufficient strength
from Bohotle."

THE DYKE QUESTION.
Several Suggestions for Strengthen
ing the Dyke at Alameda.
ENGINEER NEWLEE WILL ACT.

Baiiy H. Newiee, the Santa Fe engi
neer who was here yesterday and In
the forenoon. in company with City
Engineer Pitt Ross, visited the Lake
OF stagnant water above the Fourth
street dyke, an account of which Wis
it was given in The Citizen of yester-
day, returned to Las Vegas last night
Yesterday afternoon Engineer New
lee, accompanied by Mayor Myers.
Hon. f. A. Hubbell and County Sur
veyor Don J. Rankin. visited the flood
ed districts in the vicinity of the Ala
media dyke.
1t was suggested to Engineer Newlee
that spur of track be layed out over
the site of the dyke and that the dyke
he rebuilt of some substantial ma
terial, which can be hauled in. The
sand found in the neighborhood OF the
dyke, and which has been used in tho
past, is not entirely satisfactory. 1t
crumbled too easily from the wash
ing of water. 1t is thought that stone
or Stag will make a substantial dyke.
Engineer Newlee will take the mat
ter before the proper officials OF the
Santa Fe.

merely as criticism on the republi-
can party in the matter of recent judi
cial appointments, it must be admitted
it is well founded. When President
Mckinley came into Office. he had five
judges to appoint for New Mexico. OF
these, two of whom he appointed were
residents of the territory. Another
had been at one time a resident among
us, but had been absent for years. A
life long democrat, in 1896 he left the
dominant wing of his party, and was
all active gold democrat in Connect
cut. Of the two others one had helped
to elect a senator in Indiana, and the
ether had elected a senator in Ohio.
When the Ohio man was forced to re-
sign on account of i'll health, his
health never having permitted him to
discharge the duties of his Office. he
was succeeded by a gentleman of
pleasing personality from western
New York, who knew but little law
but who had strong political backing
When the Indiana creator of a sena-
tor failed of reappointment he was sue
ceeded by strong and able man, who
had made a senator from Nebraska
and now We have the appointment of q
friend of Michigan senator, and we
will probably soon learn that he, also
has been a factor in senatorial elec
| tions.
This sort of thing is the natural con
sequence of our territorial conditions
Offices in the territories are looked or
as senatorial property to be used In
payment of political obligations, ant
it is seldom the case that lawyers who
are active as politicians are well fitted
Tor judicial labors.
We are compelled to admit that ou'
party has done badly in this direction
and if We criticize it for this directly
no one can say you nay! but every re
publican ought vigorously to pretes
against your praising the fat-headed G
Cleveland, who never has known any
thing of the west, and has but little o.
no regard for anything west of Man
haitian island. When he left the presi
dency he woul1 not go back to place
as far west as Buffalo, which had beel
his home and beyond which, up to tha
time, his acquaintance with this cour
try had never extended.

Mexico, subject to draft of the United

the state department was confronted
with necessity of turning the money
into United States cash and depositing

brokers have been watching negotia-
tions and when they applied to the de-
partment was informed that it would
cost about $4,000 United States
money to convert the fund and trans
fer it as desired This was regarded
as an exhorbitant charge. but no other
and better bid was offered. Finally
Judge Penfield hit upon the plan of
turning this Mexican silver into Fill
pino money. Director Roberts of the
mint bureau, who has been buying bull
lion for Philippine account, has been
confronted with strongly rising sill
yer market, and something very like
a corner in that commodity. He

PERTINENT CRITICISM.
Cleveland Did Not Observe Home
Rule in Territory.
HIS JUDGES WERE CARPET BAGGERS.

Editor of The Citizen.
In last nights issue you say that
Mr.. G.. Cleveland is the only president
who has "lived up to platform pledges
in appointing citizens of this territory
to the federal Offices" 1nis statement
is undoubtedly provoked by the recent
appointment of Mr.. Smith of Michi-
gan to judgeship in New Mexico, but
seems to indicate some lapse of mem
ory on your part.
Let us recall what Mr.. Clevelan did
as to judicial appointments in New
Mexico during his two terms.
When he first became president in
1885, there were three judicial dis
tricts in New Mexico. In the First
district, Samuel b. Axtell was Judge,
and Mr.. G. Cleveland forced him to re-
sign to avoid threatened summary and
unjustifiable removal In his place
the president appointed William A,
Vincent a bone fide resident of the
territory, but in few months, realiz-
ing his mistake in having appointed
a New Mexican. he arbitrarily and
wrongfully threw Vincent out, and ap-
pointed man from Indiana.
For the Second district, ne appoint
ed a man from Missouri who was be.
coming too active and prominent in
public affairs 10 please a democratic
senator, who thought his contemplated
lifegrip on a seat in the upper branch
of congress was possibly endangered.
For the Third district, there was ap
pointed an able man from arkansas, a
personal friend of the attorney gen
eral. whose ability was only surpassed
by the bad reputation which he soor
acquired among the people of the Me
silla valley.
During this administration, an addi
tional district was created and the
president appointed a good old mar
from Texas, than whom no better oil
more honest man ever held office il
New Mexico.
This is not a very good record of ap
pointments of residents OF New Mexi
co.
In his second term he certainly diC
much better on the residence qualifica
tions. Whether he made a good cour
or not can well be left to you, Mr.. Ed
itor, who had some personal expert
ence with it, II never should be for
gotten that its action toward you wa
of the most high-handed. lawless anC
arbitrary character.
Under this administration we hat
one Judge from Virginia, and four from
the territory. The result might wei
make many of us doubtful of the poll
cy of appointing our own people t
judicial office, were it not for our be
lief that no other president could max
such bad selections.

DIED AT HOSPITAL.
G. A. Schneider, After Short Illness,
Dies This Morning-Sad Case.

u. y. SCnneiuer, Rrter OnoTt ii'ness,
Dies This Morning-Sad Case.
A few days ago Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Schneider were married at Fort Mad
ison, Iowa, and several hundred people
saw them off on their wedding trip,
which was to California.
Today Mr.. Schneider is dead and his
body is at o. w. Strong's Sons. and
tomorrow it will be shipped to Fort
Madison and accompanied by the wife.
After leaving Chicago the deceased
became seriously Ill, and his mind un-
balanced. so that trained nurse had
to be called. He grew gradually worse
and on the arrival of the train last
night he was taken off. and carried to
the st. Joseph's hospital where he
died between IL and l o'clock this
morning.
The case is an extremely sad one.
The deceased was in the prime OF
manhood and was a prominent citizen
of Fort Madison, where he owned a
iewelry store. Both were prominent
there and the wedding was the event
OF the season. This is another case
of the uncertainty of life.

BIG ENGINE
Goes Up at the PenitentiaT and Loss
Will Foot Up TO $4,000.
CONVICTS BEHAVE WELL.

The Atlas engine of 1S0 horse power
at the territorial penitentiary has
cashed in its checks. Its done for and
another will have to take its place.
Yesterday morning at $3.50 the big
engine smashed itself up into smither-
eens. The coupling pin in the COVER
nor became loose and dropped out.
This made the machine worthless and
started at a terrific speed Frank
Brito, of Rough Rider fame, is the
night engineer, and just got out of the
room in time. The big drive wheel,
thirteen feet in diameter, twenty-four
inches wide and heavy metal spokes,
few into little pieces and the bulk of 1t
went out through the roof. A great
gaping hole was torn in the roof and
many pieces of the wheel picked up
showed the wood from the roof so i'm
bedded in the jagged edges of the met
al that it could scarcely be pried out.
Pieces of the heavy betting that were
carried through the roof were pene-
trated by large and small pieces of
wood from the roof, showing the ire
mendous force with which the mass
of material went up. The heavy
spokes of the wheel were snapped OFF
as though by an AK. The largest piece
of the big drive wheel found is about
two feet square and it was in the yard
about seventy-five feet south of the
building. Another large piece took a
northerly course through the air and
came down through the roof of the
dry house, about fifty feet north of the
engine house. The damage done there
Is slight beyond trat to the roof al
though the dry house is full OF brick
as the top story was sufficient to stoI
the big piece of metal after it haC
passed through the roof.
Work was commenced early clean
ing up the rubbish after a number o.
photographs of IL had been made anC
| by noon a part of il had been carteC
| away. Not one part of the engine
was found which can be again utilized
All the pieces were consigned to the
scrap heap. The engine was not al
old one and was purchased by the pen
itentiary from the Cash Entry Minint
! company. 1t was valued at about SO,
500. The entire damage done to th'
plant will be about $4,000. TIT
brick plant will he compelled to clos,
down until a new engine is secured
and one was ordered early today
which will be shipped as soon as posi-
bic.
The behavior of the convicts all thi
time was good. Most of them though

SIBlEY DENIES.
Insists That He is Not in Any Swind-
linq Scheme.

New York, June Ell ne associated
press has received the following dis
patch from Representative Joseph c..
Sibley of Pennsylvania, dated Quebec;
Arriving here today from a cruiser
through the ot. Lawrence | find pub
hshed an intimation rejecting upon
my official conduc, as representative
in congress. In every instance my
official actions have reflected my high
est conceptions of public duty and so
far as | am aware will never cause
any friend of mine either regret or
sorrow. / invite the fullest investiga-
tion of my official conduct. (SignedO

The intimations referred to make 1t
appear that Mr.. Sibley was largely in
terested in a manifolding company
which furnished supplies to the nation
al government.
