Christmas Time.

Ihave always thought OF Christ
mas time, when it comes round,
as good time; a kind, forgiving,
charitable, pleasant time-the
only time l know Of in the long
calendar of the year, when men
aud women seem by one consent
to open their shut-up hearts free
ly. And, therefore, though it has
never put a scrap of gold or sill
yer in my pocket, believe that it
has done me good, and will do
me good; and say, God bless
it. "-[Charles Dickens in A

BY Phillips Brooks.
o little town of Bethlehem.
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The Everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight,
o morning ars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And pr aises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is givenl
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings OF his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming;
Bat, in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child;
Where misery cries out to Thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching,
And Faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks
And Christmas comes once more.
Holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend on us we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today.
We hear the hristmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
oh come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

ALL IS NOT
HARMONIOUS
At the Session of the Trans. Mis-.

Portland
ON CHINESE QUESTION
Washington and Oregon in Favor Of
Strict Application of Restriction
Law..MiddIe West More Liberal.

Portland, Aug. l6.-The Trans Mis-
sissippi Congress began a four days
session at Portland today. There are
nearly a thousand delegates present.
Large delegations are here from Cali.
fornia. Utah, Colorado, Texas and
Montana AS was 10 be expected, the
largest attendance has been drawn
from Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
and the balance of power In the mat
ter of selecting the next meeting place
which shows signs of being a matter
of keen competition, will rest largely
with the delegates of these states.
Salt Lake, Denver and San Francisco
are the three leading candidates. The
sessions today were for the most
part devoted to welcoming addresses
by the governors of Oregon and
Washington; United States Senators
Fulton, of Oregon, and Piles, of
Washington, and representatives OF
Portland's municipality and local COM
mercial organizations. Responses
were made by Governor George c.
Pardee, of California, Governor John
H. Mickey, of Nebraska, and ex-Gover-
nor David r. Francis, of Missouri
The addresses delivered show that
there is not altogether harmony on
the subject of Chinese restriction laws.
1t became apparent during the address
by Governor Chamberlin, of Oregon,
that the sentiment of Washington and
Oregon is in favor of a strict appli-
cation of the restriction laws as OPP
posed to more liberal application
favored by the California representa-
tives and delegates from the middle
west.

CHARGES AGAINST SHERIFF HUBBELL
Investigated Yesterday BY Governor
otero at AIbuquerque-Eearing
Closed.

The hearing of the charges of NAL
| feasance in Office preferred by District
Attorney Clancy, against Thomas S.
Hubbell sheriff of Bernalillo County
was held by Governor Otero at the
Alvarado Hotel, in Albuquerque, yes
terday and concluded late last eve.
ming Time until Saturday next, was
allowed the sheriff and his attorney
to furnish brief in defense, of which
copy was to be furnished to District
Attorney Clancy.
Amongst other acts of malfeasance
the sheriff Is charged that in the
cases of the following prisoners: Rob-
ert Kline, William R. Rice, Adolfo
Santa Ana, Nuario Chaves, an insane
person, w. P. Ellington. Frank Harris,
Ellison Bird, Juan Moya, John J.
Coughlan and William Foster, he
charged the county for subsistence
at the rate of rs cents per day for
a longer period than these prisoners
were confined in the county jail.
The sheriff is also charged with
having allowed the following persons,
Melquiades .Iartin of Alameda, Day.
i'd Perea and Pablo Apodaca of Los
Griegos, to conduct saloons without
licenses.
One specification AYERS that during
the 1904 territorial fair in Albuquer-
que the sheriff allowed gaming tables
to be conducted on the fair grounds
without having collected the licenses
prescribed by law from their owners.
Sheriff Hubbell in his answer, de-
MED each and every one of the speci-
fications and tne charges.
Probate Clerk j. A. Summers tes-
titled that no licenses had been issued
to Perea or Apodaca. Other witness
es who were called testified that the
two men sold native wine and they
had heard that other liquor was also
sold.
l.. C. de Baca, the principal wit
ness for the prosecution in the charge
against the sheriff for charging for
meals not served to prisoners, proved
very unsatisfactory and claimed that
most of what he had told District At
torney Clancy was merely hearsay.
None of the other witnesses were able
to clearly state any testimony incrim-
mating to the sheriff except as to the |
charge of running gambling places on
the fair grounds, in which charge sew
eral witnesses testified that the games |
were running at the times alleged and |
that the sheriff was cognizant of the
fact.

ARTICLE 7
CONSIDERED
Relates to the Cession to China
of the Chinese Eastern
Railroad
EARNEST DISCUSSION
Charsctsrizss Mornings Meeting and
Afternoon Will Probably Be- Con.
sumed on Sams Consideration.

portsmouth, Aug. l6.-The article
before the ENJOYS today was number
seven, covering the cession to China
OF the Chinese Eastern Railroad which
runs south from Hardin to Port Ar
thur and Dalny, with a spur to New
Chwang, where is connects with the
Shan Haikwan-Tien Tsin road. 1t was
conditionally accepted by the Russions
but the agreement to it was bound up
with consideration involving the
fate of the whole negotiations and it
is certain to lead to long and earn
est discussion. Russia will not admit
the Japanese contention that the road
is wholly government institution, as
all the shares of the railroad corpora
tion are owned by the Russo Chinese
bank. The governments interest in
the road, however, probably will not
be denied but it will be urged that SO
far as it is private property it is not
confiscable
The following statement as to the
conference was made by Mr.. Koros-
tavOtz, at the close of the morning ses-
sion: I'm the morning sitting of Au-
gust 16, the conference was taken up
with discussion of article seven. The
discussion not having been finished
the conference has taken a recess at
! o'clock. The session will be re-
sumed at 3 o'clock" The exchange
of views this morning was of very
earnest character and it is expected
that the discussion of article seven
will consume all afternoon.
1t is known that the Japanese pleni-
potenuaries today sent - Washing
ton for parchment paper, such as is
used in the engrossment of treaties
1t is regarded as significant
Japanese Paper Believes Peace is
Probable.
Toxic, Aug .16.-The Nichi tomor-
row will say "A continuance of the
conference is indicative of hopeful
prospect for the conclusion of peace"
The paper declares that if the Rus
slams had rejected absolutely the ques-
tions of reimbursement and the ces-
sion of Sakhalin Island, the Japanese
would have withdrawn from the con-
ference.

GUADALUPE COUNTY CONTEST CASES
May Be Appealed From Decision of
Judge Mann to the Territorial
Supreme Court.

Special Correspondence New Mexican
! Alamogordo, Aug. 15.-Judge e. A
Mann has handed down an opinion in
the election contest cases of Clancey
VS.. Gallegos and Armijo VS.. Baca, in
volving the offices of clerk and sheriff
of Guadalupe County, in which the con-
testees are declared to be duly elected
to their respective offices. The opin-
ion is lengthy one and covers num-
Der of points, one being the validity of
the election held in Precinct IA of
Guadalupe County, November 4th last.
In that precinct the polling place was
moved after it had been fixed by the
County Commissioners, and the opin-
ion holds that this was illegal and the
election in that precinct was void.
The contestants alleged several other
irregularities, but the opinion holds
that in the absence of proof of fraud
the votes should be counted 1t Is
quite probable the case will be ap-
appealed to the Supreme Court.
A special term of the district court
for Otero County will be held next Fri
day for the purpose of putting into ef-
feet the new jury law, and special
terms will be held in Santa Rosa on
the 22d in Lincoln on the gath and in
Estancia on the 26th of this month for
the same purpose. After these terms,
Judge Mann will proceed to Santa Fe
to be present at the midsummer term
of the Supreme Court.
