The Cow and the Tram.

Train No. 2 from the west was several
hours late into Albuquerque yesterday
morning. 1t had its troubles out in the
west and they did not end even after
the cars got onto the heavy steel and
smooth ballast of the new Mexico divis-
ion. In fact these troubles only became
serious after the overland left AIbu-
querque.
The show began about two miles
north of Albuquerque where the foot
hills shelve down close to the tracks
and make a wall on the east.
The troubles. it may he well to re-
mark. were caused together by one
lonely COW. She was a thin COW and not
particularly young. She did not look a
very valuable beast, but she was game.
The Santa Fe brakemen on this division
have had experience with game cows
before, and it usually costs the COM
pany fabulous sum. 1t also usually
costs the brakeman his job. but that is
another story. This particular COW
planted herself on the track and stayed
there until the whistle was about ex-
hausted.
When the engineer had used up all
the steam he could spare and was get
ting close into bosSy, the COW moved
forward in a slow and dignified measure
for a few feet. The train also moved up
and did some more Whistiing When the
pilot was brushing the flies off bossy's
feet she moved forward a few more
steps and the train followed suit. But
it was no use. The COW would not leave
the middle of the track. The train could
not and it devolved upon the brakeman
to get off and chase the beast. He did
it, The chase continued for about half
mile the train following by easy
stages while the engineer cheered the
contestants for supremacy with inter-
mittent blasts from his whistle. Finally
the brakeman by a superhuman burst
of speed headed off the game old fam

their temper, so bossy was really not
much the loser in the contest. The

PRONOUNCED DEAD.


says the question of Pope Leo's sue
cessor is a peculiarly open one at the
present moment.
The personality of the candidates
plays much more important part
than in any preceding conclave since
the conditions prevailing in the past
are now strictly changed. Formerly
the sacred college was divided into sew
eral distinct parties. There was, first.
that composed of the cardinals who
were members of the great Roman
families, nearly every one of which
was represented in the college. These
always exert very powerful influence
in the election of a pope
At the present time there is only one
scion of a great Roman house among
the cardinals, namely Cardinal BATHS
ia Casali- del Drago, who from the
standpoint of the election of new
pOntiff, is relatively unimpOrtant. Then
there were parties composed of cards
nails appointed by the same pope, who
usually ranged themselves into sepa-
rate bodies. In addition to the mem
bers of the sacred college appointed by
the pope who had then just passed
away there were usually considera BILE
numbers chosen by his predecessor.
and even a few nominated by the pope
preceding him.
In consequence of Leo kits long
reign these parties have entirely disap.
peared. In the present conclave there
Will be only one cardinal Cardinal
Oreglia, who was net appointed by
Pope Leo. AS a result of these changes
the approaching ccnclave will be much
more under the influence Of individua1
candidates than in the past rendering
1t impossible to forecast the election
with any degree of certainty. II is
considered highly probably that the
new pope will be a man at present not
thought of and talked about

MAY BE ARRANGED.
Gen. Bates Interested i'm Having
Kansas Guard at Riley.

There is still little hope that the
Kansas National Guard will participate
in the fall maneuvers with the regulars
at Fort Riley A letter was received to-
day from E. J. McClernand. adjutant
for General Bates, in which he assures
Adjutant General Kelsey that General
Bates is anxious to arrange things so
that the entire National Guard of the
state can attend and not merely one
regiment.
The letter gives a more complete ex-
PLANTATION of the situation than has been
received heretofore. 1t does not serve
to satisfy Adjutant General Kelsey,
however. He said today;
These regular army officers do not
understand the effect of the PROPOSE
lions which they have made. They don't
realize what effect it will have on the
organization of the guard. In the reg
ular army they can transfer men from
one company to another as they please,
and the men go without complaint But
in the National Guard there is a sort
of local pride which holds the COM
pany together. Take away that local
pride, and the guard would go to pieces
The Topeka company would not stand
it to be cut in two, and half sent to
the encampment with a Lawrence COM
pany, and half with Wichita company
Theoretically we can place the men as
we please. but as a matter of practice,
it would be the ruinatiOn of the guard
to try to form new regiment for these
maneuvers."
The following is an extract from the
letter received today by General Kelsey
in response to his recent letter COM
planning of the proposed Organization of
a new regiment
I'm connection with this subject it is
pertinent to state that the war depart
ment previously directed these head
quarters to submit a recommendation Of
a general plan or scheme for joining the
organized militia in maneuvers, en-
campments and field instruction with
the regular TROOPS and to render 'esti-
mates of cost upon which the secretary
of war can determine how far it is prac-
ticable to go under the limitations of
the present appropriation for the sup
port of the army
I'm compliance with the foregoing in
structions, an estimate was made of the
cost of transporting. feeding and paying
the national guard troops from the sew
eral states within this department as
suggested by the state authorities, and
another estimate was submitted for
sending one large regiment of SIC men
from each state
1t is perhaps a question which the
war department alone can answer as to
TIE number of troops which can be sent
from each military post and each state
under the limitations of, the present ap-
propTiatiOn for the support of the army

Bates directed me to say that after

that it was his desire to meet the wishes
Of the officials of zrour state as far as
practicable. and that he would like 10
see your entire NATIONAL guard there if
YOU wish it to attend. and that he will
cooperate with you in this respect, if
he can consistently do So He believes,

FARLEY's TRIBUTE.
The Archbishop Regards Him as
Gods Chosen Instrument.

New York, July 21.-Archbishop Far
ley of this city has paid his tribute to
the dead pope in the following Ian
guage. The history of his pontifi-
cate, with its marvels and its bless
sings, point to Pope Leo XIII as having
been -eminently chosen instru-
ment in the hands of Divine Provi~
dence. A great pope. his gifted soul
could soar up to. and find coneenIal
atmosphere among the sublime heights
of theology and philosophy, his father
ly heart could feel and his foresight
could provide for the Wen being or
the hUmblest Of his flock. No othel
aim nor end than this, indeed has he
had in view in his wise and salutary
counsels and IN his luminous and en-
phatic teachings upon the sacredness
of the Christian marriage tie as be-
ing the source of safety and protect
ion OF domestic happiness.

all peoples. America always had
large share of both his pronounced af-
lection and his anxious care
