Nine boxes of articles for exhibition
in the New Mexico building at the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition at st. Louis
were sent yesterday by express to the
Mound City by Arthur Seligman, mem
ber of the New Mexico board OF man
ayers of the exposition and treasurer
of the same. The value of the articles
in these boxes as returned to the eX-
press company was 5000, while the
actual value, as many OF them are rel
les and cannot be replaced or dupll-
Gated would run up into the tens and
tens of thousands of dollars, as con-
noisseurs ands collectors of historical
and archaeological antiquities would
pay any price asked for them. This eX-
hibit was supplied principally by few
patriotic women of the territory and
from but a few counties One reason
why the women of so few counties aid
ed is that the Woman's Auxiliary to the
New Mexico Board of Managers had
absolutely no funds at it's disposal and
everything had to be done by volun-
tary contribution and personal eX-
pense: nevertheless Mrs. Otero, wife
of Governor Otero, the chairman or the
Womans Auxiliary, did great and good
work in getting such a fine, varied and
interesting collection together.
Special credit is justly due Mrs.
Otero who. as presiding officer OF the
Auxiliary, very naturally had to do the
planning and the executive business,
which she did efficiently and success
fully The correspondence work,
which consumed a good deal of time,
was done voluntarily by Miss Clara Ol-
sen. of this city, as secrtary of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary
The articles in the collection are
very numerous and complete list OF
the mcannot well be given here. Among
them are documents that are absolutely
priceless, of the greatest historical val
ue and interest as well as articles II,
Illustrative of the social conditions OF
New Mexico in years gone by.
Mrs Otero, of Santa Fe, wife of Gov
ernor Otero, sent large number OF ar
ticles, some of them of great Interest
and very handsome. Among them are
solid silver plates, which have been
heirloOms in the Otero family for cen
turtles and came from Spain; Mexican
and Indian war implements and shields
of great age; turquois buttons manufac
tured hundred years ago; silver table
ware of very handsome design and OF
great age. The collection also con
tanned the coat which Amelio Aguinal
do wore when he was captured by Gen
eral Frank Funston. and which was
sent to Mrs. Otero by an army frient
who was present at Aguinaldo's cap
ture; the original message by Governol

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-The dele
gates to the American Federation of
Labor realized at the opening of the
session today that the overwhelming
defeat administered to the socialist ele-
ment yesterday had not quieted them.
AS an aftermath Of the bitter de-
bate Of Monday came the resolution
Of the International Typographical
union, who asked that the convention
vote in favor Of abolishing the militia
as it now exists. The resolution called
for the substitution of the system now
in vogue in Switzerland, where every
man bears an arm, but each individual
is! permitted to keep the weapon in
his own home. The advocates Of the
measure maintain that if the militia
shoot back, there would be no usurpa-
tion Of right upon the part Of the mill
tary branch. The resolution was over.
whelmingly defeated.
A measure, likewise introduced by the
socialists, calling for the pensioning of
all workers after they had reached the
age Of So, also was defeated. The meas

pension, which was placed at. a mini.

than 81 900 q year and have been cit

one years.
In the report of yesterday, it was er:
roneously stated that hte federation
had lib to thirty-six adopted resolu,
tion to substitute the industrial system
for the system Of trade autonomy now
in existence in labor organizations. The
resolution was really lost 113 to SO, the
latter vote indicating the strength OF
the socialists in the convention.
