CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Usual Levies Are Made for Interest
on the Water Bonds and for
Other Purposes,
LAND SOLD TO SANTA FE RAILROAD
An Effort TO Be Made to Take Away
Ground of Complaint Concerning
Water Supply.

The city council met Tuesday
evening with Mayor Aniceto 1.
Abeytla III the chair.
After the usual routine busi-
ness was disposed of, tax levies
were made as follows: For inter
est on the city's water bonds, 6
mills; Tor general city expenses,
, mills; and for interest on the
founded debt of 1897, , mills.
The city's water bonds amount
to 5000 and they draw interest
at the rate of 3 per cent. The
funded debt of 1897 amounts to
about $1,000. The question of
the leganty of the city bonds is
sued to secure that debt is now
pending i'll the courts. The city's
assessed valuation is about $780,
600.
Another matter that the council
considered was an offer of $500
an acre for fifteen or twenty
acres of the city's lands down
near the old slaughter houses,
the land to be used for gravel
pits. The council accepted the
Santa Fe's offer and the land will
be transferred as soon as the mat
ter of title can be arranged satis-
factorily.
The complaint of several proper
ty owners in the southwestern
part of the city that their gar
dens and orchards are dying for
lack of water, and that it is often
impossible to get water enough
from the pipes for drinking
purposes, was called to the atten-
ton of the council. After
considerable discussion it was
concluded best to instruct the
water master to divert the whole
flow of water into the reservoir
for two or three hours during the
night, with the hope that there
would then be pressure enough
to give everybody a good supply
of water for several hours in the
morning.

RUINS AT GRAN QUIVERA.
After Many Years Mrs. Clara Corbin
Secures Clear Title to Them

Secures Clear Title to Them.
The title to the famous Gran
Quivera ruins, supposed to be
the remains of a city built before
the flood, and which is located in
the eastern section of the new
county of Torrance, has finally
been secured by Mrs. Clara a. B.
Corbin, widow of A. b. Corbin,
an old soldier, who died in this
city in 1898, says the Albuquer-
que Citizen.
These ruins are acknowledged
by scientists to be among the
most interesting in existence to-
day, and have been visited by
tourists and treasure seekers
from all parts of the world. The
ruins consist of what is believed
to be an ancient city, built dur
ing the time of Noah.
When the deluge came it is
Jr umel thaI the city was
buried, as the partly explored
portions of the ruins show
underground passages resembling
streets and buildings.
Mrs. Corbin, after a fight
through the United States land
Office, extending over many years,
has finally secured a patent to
100 acres in which tract these
ruins are located. She is now in
the city, and will leave the first
of the week for eastern Torrance
county TO look over the land.
The lady informed a Citizen
representative that when the
Belen cutoff on the Santa Fe is
completed it will run within
twenty miles of the ruins of Gran
Quivera. 1t is her intention to
open up these ruins to the public
and make them a source of
revenue.
A stage line will probably be
put i'm operation when the trains
commence to run over the cutoff
and the trip of twenty miles
from the railroad to the ruins
will be made daily, and tourists
will be charged a reasonable sun
for making a visit to what are
considered by far the grandest
prehistoric ruins in the South.

and the matter complained of as
ihel0u was contained in an
arutie IN last weeks issue of El
Defensor. The articlewas directed
against the Chieftain, but the
clause which Mr.. Baca considered
libelous says that if the Chief
tain is scandalized by the
sentences of the court it ought to
seek information from the law
yers, the Judge, etc, and il will
be convinced of bribery and
political intrigue to condemn or
to save criminals, not by the
verdicts OF juries but by other

STATEHOOD ON MERITS.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory in
Big Convention Ask Immediate
Action by Congress.

One thousand delegates from
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
met in Oklahoma City Wednes-
day in convention to take some
difinite action looking to inn
mediate statehood. The enthusias-
tic delegates passed the follow
ing resolution without a dis
senting vote, viz:
I'VE, the one thousand dele
gates representing the million
and a half American citizens who
reside in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, do hereby declare in
convention assembled that said
territories are entitled to and of
right ought to be Immediately
admitted into the American
Union as one free and independent
state, on terms of equality as

equal footing with other states.
We have but one petition and
one request to be sent to the
American congress, and that is
that immediate Joint statehood
be granted to Oklahoma and
Indian Territories on their own
merits, and without reference to
any right or claim of other terri
tories seeking admission to the
American Union.

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Special to the Chieftain.

Special TO the Chieftain:
Kansas City, Mo-, Monday,
July 10. 1905. The cattle rEh
last week was 10000 head, a
decrease of 1000 head from
previous week. The proportion
of beef steers continued light,
and receipts from the range
country were also small, but run
of Quarantine cattle held up
heavy. This distribution as to
class suited the packers all right,
and the week closed with a gain
of Is to IS cents on killing cattle,
stockers and feeders 10 to Is
higher. The supply today is
heavy at $1,000 head, here half
of which is in the Quarantine
division. The market averaged
about steady today. some of the
good native steers, heifers and
cows selling strong to little
higher, while Quarantine steers
sold steady to 10 lower. Some of
the fed Colorados from around
Fowler have sold in the last few
days at $3.50 to $500, against
S4.35 to S4. so week before last.
A train of Idaho feeders sold at
1873 early last week, panhandle
stockers and feeders at S3.35 TO
$3.50, several strings of light
stockers from that country today
at $3.50 and S3.55. Grass cows
sell at S2.35 to $500, bulls S2.2S
to $500, Gamers, of course down
around $500. The regular cam
ming season has not opened yet,
but packers will be prepared for
them week after next. The
liberal supply today is taken to
indicate that the big movement
is on for the fall months.
The sheep market keeps on
gaining, an advance of Is to IS
cents being made last week,
market strong TO 10 higher to-
day. Receipts consist mainly of
Arizona wetherS and native
spring lambs, with a few native
muttons included, of course. New
records we're made today, when
Arizona spring lambs sold
at $3.50, Arizona shorn grass
wethers, % lbs, at $50, year
lings, "a lbs. at S5.75. Receipts
here are considerably heavier
than at this time last year, but
demand was never more keen
than il is just now. Packer buyers
literally stand in line 10 get first
chance at the arrivals. There
are orders held here in the hands
of commission men for large
numbers of thin sheep, suitable
for the country, which will be
filled as soon as anything of that
class appears.

A FERROUS SUBMARINE
Why the British Vessel A-S Sank So
 Suddenly.

Plymouth, June 9.-Submarine boat AS, which was lost off the breakwater here yesterday morning, rests on an even keel on a sandy bottom Thirteen bodies are still entombed in the boat, the divers who worked all day long re- covering only one body. It is expected that the vessel will be refioated tomor- row.
 The dangers incident to the employ ment of submarine vessels received a fresh illustration at the court of in quiry into the loss of AS, which was held here today. The evidence went to support the theory that the accident was due to a defiection of the horl- zontal rudder while the boat was run ming lightly on the surface with her full buoyancy and the cover of her coming tower open.

THRONE GOES BEGGING.
A Probable National Convention
 Which Will Favor a Republic But
 Oscar of Sweden Declines to RecOs- nize Completeness of Disruption.

Copenhagen, June 9.-AH hope that King Oscar or Crown Prince Gustave will yield to the request of the Nor wegian Storthing to place a prince of the house of Bernadotte on the throne of Norway has now disappeared, ac- cording to high authority. The Dan ish royal family has also set the stamp of disapproval on the acceptance of the throne by a Danish prince.
 It is understood that arrangements are actually being made for a national convention, and this will inevitably re- suit in the declaration of a republic.
 According to well informed persons here, Russia and Germany will refuse to recognize the Norwegian govern ment until King Oscar consents to a disruption of the union. Strong eff forts are being made to secure similar action by other governments. includ- ing that of Denmark, and it is said that these efforts are meeting with encour- agement.
 The Norwegian press and public, according to advices received here, are singularly undemonstrative. Premier MicheIsen wants no demonstration, and today refused to permit a large procession of Christianians in approval of the action of the Storthing. In re- fusing, the premier said: Tt is too early to claim a victory which has not yet been definitely gained. Our most serious difficulties are probably ahead"
 Thousands of telegrams from all parts of the world are pouring in on Premier Michelsen and the Storthing, many of them coming from the United States and South Africa. King Oscar is quoted as saying that he would avoid war at any cost. Officials here say that the king and crown prince had been fully prepared for the action of the Storthing by Premier Nicholson who informed them prior to his maj esty's veto of the consular bill as to what steps Norway intended to take.

the belligerentS; in other words that there may be a meeting of Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries or delegates without any intermediary. in order to see if it is not possible for those rep resentatives of the two powers to agree to terms of peace.
 "The president earnestly asks that the Russian and Japanese governments do now agree to such a meeting. While the president does not feel that any in termediary should be called with re- spect to peace negotiations themselves, he is entirely willing to do what he properly can, if the powers concerned feel that his services will be of effect in arranging the preliminaries as to the time and place of meeting. But 1T even these Ureliminaries can be arrang ed directly between the two powers. or in any other way, the president will be glad, as his sole purpose is to bring about meeting which the whole civil ized world will pray may result in peace"
 The foregoing note was forwarded to the Russian and Japanese governments yesterday. It is rendered especially significant by the fact that it was pre- pared and sent only after assurances had been received from Tokio and St. Petersburg that such a proposition would be welcomed. While both Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, and Minister Takahira of Japan were cog nizant ot the nature of the note, it was not sent to their respective govern ments through them. It was cabled by the direction of the president to St. Pe- tersburg and Tolio and there delivered directly to the Russian and Japanese governments respectively by Ambassa- dor Meyer and Minister GriscOm.
 A formal reply to the note may not be received for several days, but, as it is already stated, informal assur- ances that it would be welcomed are already at hand.
 In view of the significant character of the document and of the attitude to- ward it which both Russia and Japan have assumed, it is regarded in official and diplomatic circles as the first firm and decisive step toward ultimate peace

Washington. June 9.-An identical note. the text of which. by the author ity of the president, was made public late tonight at the White House by Secretary Loeb. has been forwarded to the governments of Russia and Japan by the president In the interest of humanity the president urges the war; ing nations to conclude peace. It is suggested by the president that the negotiations for peace be conducted directly and exclusively" between the belligerent nations. The note indicates the presidents belief that an interme- diary may not be necessary to effect conclusive negotiations. but likewise it expresses the presidents willingness to do all that he properly may do to pro mote preliminary arrangements for the time and place of the meeting of the representatives of the Russian and Ja- panese governments.
 The following is the text of the dis patch as given out: "On June s. the following dispatch was sent by the president, through diplomatic channels to Japanese and Russian governments:
 "The president feels that the time has come when in the interest of all mankind he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and lamentable conflict now being waged. With both Russia and Japan the United States has inherited friendship and good will. It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each and it feels that the progress of the world is set back by the war between these two great nations.
 ''The president accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese governments not only for their own sakes but in the in terest of the whole civilized world. to open direct negotiations for peace with one another.
