the National Bank OF North America~hy
the Continental National Bank is an
nounced and is to be effective at once.
This action comes as q climax to the
charges connecting the name Of Pres.
ident Isaac N. Perry. of the National
Bank OF North America with the felon,
ious burning of the Chicago Car & Loco
motive Works at Hegewisch, October Q.
While the directors accept the Pres.
ident's denial as the truth, they thought
the merger the best business policy,
with the consolidation the Continental
National Bank will take rank as the
second largest bank in Chicago.

and appropriations from the govern
ment irrigation fund.- for the storage
reservoirs and irrigation canals on the
La Plata in San Juan County, which
was unanimously passed by both
branchei.,o of the assembly.
Judge Pendleton has earned for him
self the reputation of being clean,
honest and incorruptible legislator, act
i've, fearless and energetic. He was
recognized as one of the ablest debat-
ors of the house, but rarely talked and
only when the occasion demanded and
when he really had something to say.
He always commanded close atten-
ton He never wasted time, he nev.
er fillibustered and was never called
to order. during the whole session. He
guarded closely the interest of San
Juan County and was always to be
found working hard for all good meas
ures and opposed to those that were
bad. He was one of the most success
full members of the house and had the
good will and respect of all members
in both branches of the legislature. Nc
county in the Territory was better OF
more ably represented than the coun
ty of San Juan. Judge Pendleton has
been unanimously renominated as the
Republican candidate for member OF
the house of representatives from the
district composed of the counties OF
Taos Rio Arriba and San Juan at the
county conventions of the district. He
is making an active campaign in these
counties and will, it is believed, poll
a very large majority in the district
This would be fully deserved as he has
proven himself a faithful, loyal anc
efficient representative, very careful
and attentive to the interests of hi'
constituents, as we'll as for what Il
good for the Territory at large. TIT
larger vote the people of the distric
give him the stronger will he be in tn
assembly and the better enabled will
he be to accomplish good for them, AM
for the Territory.

May Be Another Side to Story.
London, Oct. 27.-Russian Ambassa-
dor Benckendorff paid another visit to
Lord Lansdowne about 8 o'clock this
afternoon. presumably to discuss Ad-
miral Rojestvenskys report. This
caused considerable bewilderment
here, since while the statement that
two torpedo boats were among the fish
ing feet is generally secuted, there is
beginning to be evidence of some dis
position to believe in the possibility of
there being another side to the fisher
mems story.

manded by Vice Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford. At o'clock this afternoon
Lord Lansdowne expressed a belief
that peaceful settlement would be ar

London, Oct. 27.-Baron Hayashi,

idea of there being any Japanese tor

unfounded but absolutely ridiculous.

No man has contributed more to the
upbuilding of northwestern New Mex
leo and San Juan County than Judge
Granville Pendleton, of Aztec. Judge
Pendleton Is native of Kentucky, but
received his education and early train
ing in Missouri. He graduated from
the law school of Washington Univer,
sity, at st. Louis, and was admitted to
the bar when he was but 21 years old
He removed from Missouri to Colorado
in 1884, and in the latter state he serv.
ed as county Judge and also as dis
trict attorney. 1t was in April, 1898,
that he removed to San Juan County
and since then he has been tireless in
advertising the resources of the coun.
ty, in inducing new settlers to locate
there, in bringing in capital and in up.
building the industries. He is men,
ber of the Bureau of immigration and
has served that body efficiently and
energetically as it's vice president.
He has done much for his county as
a private citizen and in his official con-
nection with the Bureau of Immigra.
ton. He has been enabled to accomp-
lish much more as a member of the
34th and 35th legislative assemblies.
Judge Pendleton is staunch Republi-
can, cast his first vote for Hayes and
Wheeler in 1876 and has voted the Re-
publican ticket ever since. He was
untouched by the free silver craze that
swept over Colorado in 1896 and after
moving to New Mexico he was elected
to the 34th legislative assembly as a
member of the house of representa-
-tives. His record in that body was SO
eminently satisfactory and he attained
such a position of influence that he
was returned to the 35th legislative as
sembly. His previous experience had
enabled him to become thoroughly ia
miliar with the workings Of the body
and in his second term he at once was
recognized as one of its leading mem
bers. He was active and hardwork'
ing. He was chairman of the commit
tee on Territorial affairs; the ranking
member and at times acting chairman
of the judiciary committee; and was q
member of the committees on rail-
roads, finance and roads and highways
Legislative Work. y
He was author of and had much te
do with the passage of the following
bills and resolutions: House Bill No
"A, An act providing for party EN-
blems on election ballots; House Bill
No. 115, An act regulating and increas

Spoke at a Poorly Attended and Silly
Meeting at Ration Last Night
Reports of Other Gatherings.
Special to the New Mexican.

Ration, N. M, Oct 27.-Delegate Ber
nard S. Rodey, Independent Democrat
ic candidate for delegate to Congress
who is running in order to make votes
for George P. Money, Democratic can
didate for the same position, spoke ir
this city last evening to an audience
of 131 people. OF that number 36 were
women and children and large ma
jority of the remainder were Democrats
and members of a brass band. There
was no one with him and no one intro
duced him to the audience. He made
his own bow and spoke his own intro
duction, but his reception was very
chilly and indeed a decided frost
His speech was made up principally
of recital of his woes, sorrows, trou-
bles and tribulations; he roasted the
Republican party and the Republicans
of New Mexico especially and when he
did so he was loudly and vocferously
cheered by the Democrats present. He
referred to the rumor that George P
Money, Democratic candidate contem
plated withdrawing in his favor ant
right then .and there the Democrats
ceased cheering and the audience was
very silent, indeed painfully so.
People who are we'll posted on poll
tics ilr this city and county declare
that Delegate Rodey will not poll SO
votes in Colfax County. His reception
here was very fiat and if he is not re-
ceived more cordially elsewhere in the
Territory, even he will come to the con-
clusion that he made great unpar-
donable mistake in allowing himself to
become the cats paw of the Democrat
ic Territorial Central Committee, OF
Chairman Crist and the victim of his
own conceit and that he should not
have listened to the advices of few
disgruntled Republicans who wanted
to defeat Senator Andrews.

people that it would put New Mexico

would be far better to elect Mr.. Mon

they wanted to "save" New Mexico t.

the crowd present was not in sympath.
with the speaker was evidenced by th'
disorder which prevailed and the ute
absence of enthusiasm. Mr.. Rodey en-
tered into trade of personal abuse o
Senator Andrews and Governor Oter'
which did not take we'll with his hear
ers. He not only amused his audience
with his baby talk, but disgusted
when he advocated the election o
George P. Money in preference to tn
candidate of the party that has twlc
sent him to Washington.

THE WILD HORSE RACE.
Mad Mix-Up-of Men and Horses,

In the track before the grand stand

for the horses which are presently be-
ing dragged across the field through a
haze of dust, each animal holding back
on the rope, kicking. striking, fighting
for freedom every inch of the way, says
Leslie's Monthly. Not until he is blind

sacking can he be held still at all, and
then only by tremulous uncertainty
that turns to q frenzy of buckinE the
instant the saddle touches his back. In
the mad mix-up Of men and horses, ropes
and saddles. presently developed, the
wonder is that anything can be accom-

LIVELY TIME AT ELECTION.
Contest for an Office in England That
Cost the Candidates Very
Heavily.

Although the laws of Great Britain are
exceedingly strict regarding the expendi-
ture OF money at elections, candidates for
office find ways of approaching the voters
that are by no means inexpensive, says
a London paper The town meeting idea
gone to seed was illustrated in. the city
of Blackburn, England, recently, at an
election of a trustee of the Philanthropic
Burial society.
The office is worth 81 200 year for life
and attracted the ambition of two candi-
dates, who spent over $4,000 in bringing
voters to the pools. The society has 400,-
900 members living in four counties and
the election is by show of hands. On the
appointed day $4,000 voters assembled
to make the selection. The election pre-
sented remarkable spectacle. The
streets were blocked by all manner Of
vehicles bringing in voters and 10 rail-
way cars were engaged by the candi-
dates. Thousands failed to get. inside
the inclosure.
1t is related in the description of the
event that there was great cheering
when the president and the two candi-
dates appeared. On the name Of Ash
worth being displayed "a tremendous
forest Of hands went up and cheering en-
sued which lasted for five minutes. Stat
er's name was greeted with less than
half the number. The chairman declared
Ashworth elected by three to one. Slater
demanded poll. but this was
refused" If the vote had been close the
conditions would have been favorable
for first-class riot. The provision for
voting by show of hands was adopted
when the society was small. This meth
cd is primitive and obviously unsuited
for an election in which thousands par
ticipate.

DANGER AS A STIMULUS.

At this period my great personal

When, on one occasion, the learned

he begged to apologize. that, in great
danger in battle and when the ranks

THE sEAF4RERs.


They listened to the seasheNs tale,
They watched the sea birds circlin1
flight,
They echoed back the boatman's hail.
They fed the tide Of mimic fright.
They clambered DER the rocky height
They hid in caves where waters roar;
Their voices rose In shrill delight
Where roll the breakers on the shore.
Their childhood passed, they pierced the
veil
That distance hung before their sight:
Soft foreign breexes filled their sail.
OF tropic storm they knew the might
The sun by day. the stars by night
Were guides for them the oceans Ger;
The beacon flashed its welcome light
Where roll the breakers on the shore.
Their rugged strength began to fail.
Ears were less keen and eyes less
bright:
And they no longer o'er the rail
Watched home and kindred fade from
sight.
They waited for the coming night
With simple faith 'twould soon be DER;
Their weary frames rest on the height
Whore roll the breakers on the shore.
Prince, with thy funeral train bedight
And royal dirge, what hast thou more
Than those they laid with simple rite
Where roll the breakers on the shore?
