Coincidence in Burton Case.

A dispatch from st. Louis says: 1t IS a
coincidence that the amount of the fine,
s., 800, imposed upon Senator Burton is
identical with the amount which, according
to the evidence. he received from the Rialto
Grain and Securities Company. The Iron
county Jail. to which Senator Burton was
sentenced for six months. is located in the
county seat at I%ronton. Mo-, a village of
/ 400 population, lightweight miles south
east of st. Louis. on the Iron Mountain
railroad. The Jail is a two-story brick
structure, and in a portion of 1t Sheriff
Polk makes his home with his family.
According to the rule of the Jail, which
shortens each years sentence of a prls-
oner by three months for good ehavior,
Senator Burton's period of incarceration
there may be reduced to four and one-nali
months.

A Deathbed Joke.

late Senator Alexander T. Goodwin, of
Utica. who left behind him the repu-
tation of never having been too tired

During his last illness a relative, know.
ing the Senator's extreme fondness for
branded peaches, sent to his sickrooln
a small jar of that most delicious pre-
serve. a few days later the relative
called and was admitted to the sick
room. Quickly turning or his pillow,
and without giving his caller time. to
extend the usual formalities, the sick
man exclaimed: My dear Louise,

The Presidents Annual Message to
Congress-Steady Growth Of the
Republic.

Mexico City, September 17.-Pres-
ident Diaz's message delivered at the
converting of Congress, which &C.
Cured yesterday, was today given to
the press for publication. The mes
sage was of the usual trend and dwelt
particularly on the friendly relations
existing with all foreign powers.
The arrival Of the first diplomatic
representative of China was noted.
He reported the result of the sanitary
campaign against yellow fever as
gratifying. There has been no re-
currence of this disease in epidemic
form during this year
The President reviewed at length
the notable advances made here in
education. During the first half of
the current fiscal year 1900 titles
were granted to mining properties.
mineral products, and Mexico low
takes second rank as a producer of
copper.
The railway systems of the country
have increased greatly during the
past ear. The federal telegraph
system has steadily grown, $500 kilo-
metres of new lines having been
built. The national finances are in an
excellent condition.
The total revenues of the fiscal
year ending June 80 were over $751;
900, 900 this is a gain of $S,000,00Q
over the previous fiscal year. Both
customs collections and the stamp
taxes continue to give large returns.
In referring to military matters the
President a y great progress has
been made in improving and modern
izing ornaments and the artillery has
been strengthened. He states that
the new war vessels constructed in
the United States and Italy will add
to the importance n efficiency Of
the navy.
International peace has continued
uninterrupted, n the country has
continued prosperous. Nc mention is
made of the monetary reform which
may come before Congress this year
or next spring in a special session.
The message is replete with facts
demonstrating the great progress
made by the nation. The business
community regards it as contributory
to maintaining domestic and foreign
confidence as it shows a remarkably
solid condition of the national fl

surveyed the gathering and noticed
that nearly every family or the block
was sitting out to get the air.

of a man using such 4 machine sets

pected the man to be slaughtered in
cold blood, but Mr.. Bowser only gave
him a plying look and waved him to
pass on. The brickbat was picked out
of the grass and tossed into the street.
and then steam vas turned on and the
mower started again. To the amaze
ment of the children and other onlook-
ers it cut grass. The green blades few
into the air and lowered over the ma
chine, and the scent of new mown hay
became apparent clear down to the cor
ner. Words of admiration were being
spoken on every hand, when there was
another sudden stoppage. 1t was so
unlocked for that Mr.. Bowser'ss heels
left the ground, and for an instant he
seemed about TO take a header. There
was a general groan Of disappointment
as he saved himself, and the old
c~lothespin he picked from between the
blades was looked upon as no real
friend Of that crowd. Another pedes-
trian felt called upon to stop and say
something. He was an old man and
full Of wisdom. He was also deaf, and
he shouted so that he could be heard

REPUBLICAN
CONVENTIONS
The Number Of Delegates to
Which Each County May Be
Entitled in This Year.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Its Membership representation at the
Santa Fe County Convention Of
Republicans.

This being the year of general
election there is naturally much in
terest felt in the approaching terri
tOrial and county conventions. The
represe sentation of each precinct and
each county in those conventions is al
SO a matter of Importance. This will
be apportioned according to the vote
cast at the last general election. The
Daily New Mexican has compiled the
following figures of representation
from each county in the Republican
Territorial Convention, the first figure
after each county indicating the rep
resentation for every delegate is appor-
resentation if one delefate is appor-
toned for every 100 Republican votes
cast at the last general election, and
the second figure, one delegate for ev-
cry 200 Republican votes. If the ap-
portionment is one delegate for every
100 votes. the convention will have
245 delegates, and if the apportion-
ment is one delegate for every 200
votes, the total number of delegates
will be 126. The representation from
the so-called southern counties would
be 113 and from the northern counties
l18 with the fourteen votes of Sando-
val County holding the balance, on
representation of one delegate per 100
