PEACE IN SIGHT.
The Submission of Proposals For Peace
By Russia Believed to Be Imminent.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 23.-The
ministers and supporters vf the cour,
who advocate the submission of pa.
cific proposals to japan, as previous

to ascertain whether an honorable
basis of peace is possible, believe they

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The sud.
den growth OF the sentiment in rus.
sian official circles in favor Of peace
is not at all surprising to the officials
here, because it is in line with the pre-.
dictions of the American embassy in
St. Petersburg when last heard from
on this subject. In fact it was gath
cred that the real obstacle in the way
OF beginning negotiations to this end
was to be found rather in the jeal.
ousies of European powers outside OF
Russia than in the czar's own court.
There has for some time been sub
stantial evidence that by the execu-
tion of pressure from the outside upon
the St. Petersburg government it
might be induced to break the dead.
lock in the situation which results
from the reluctance of each belligerent
as a m after of pride to make the first
overtures for peace. But just at this
point the effects. of the real friends OF
peace are said to have been negatived
by fear of some of the European
powers that their direct interests Nigh,
suffer in a settlement which they did
not arrange.
There is reason to believe now that
the great financial interests of Lon.
don, Berlin and Paris, looking to
their salv alton and the protection ot
their enormous Russian loans, have
risen above national lines, and th at
to the exertion of their powerful influ-
ence is due promise of peace in the
near future.

Washington April l. Federal
employees who are under civil
service rules will do well to get
rid of political chairmanships or
whatever other places of that
kind they may hold as soon as
possible.
Information comes direct from
the White House that all per-
sons holding such places in state
or local organizations will be at
once asked to resign if they
have civil service commissions,
and there will also be put out a
very strong intimation that all
federal officeholders had better
cut loose from machine jobs.

The Russian Mothers Pie ,

The following is a portion of a
plea the Russian mothers have
made to the Emperor: We, Rus
SLAMS women, mothers, wives
and sisters of the warriors, who
are shedding their blood in the
far east for the beloved father
land, address ourselves to you,
o Sovereign. believing t h a t,
with your mothers heart, you
feel all the horrors of war as
we do, you will understand
that a woman ardently desires
peace. Peace is being violated;
not only beyond the frontiers of
our country. bnt even in the
heart of the fatherland. We see
with terror in the recent troubles
the beginning of calamities that
may crush all Russia if the en-
peror does not seek, in unity
with his people, to avert them.
All the basis of life are shaken,
and all moral foundations are
trembling. Our best forces are
perishing. Mothers hearts are
breaking. They cannot remain
silent. They feel that many
more lives will yet be sacrificed,
for what is happening is not
spasmodic, but the result of ear
lier calamities. The emperor
can still save Russia by his puts.
SAINT will.
Listen to the voice of the country
and the cry of its mothers. If
the emperor leads the country
into the paths of greatness, its
women will help in the work Of
its organization by guiding their
brothers and children in the new
way and life of light.

A Western Trip.

President Roosevelt left Wash
ington for the great west, on
Monday. He expects to be alb
sent nearly two months. He at
tends the rough riders reunion
at San Antonio today, and then
comes his real vacation-a hunt
ing trip in the Pan Handle, and
after he wearies of that country,
he goes to Colorado to beard the
grizzly in his den.
If he is out for sport, his trip
was not wisely planned. It
should have included a weeks
run over Deming's plains hunt
ing jack rabbits.

Government Control.

An April magazine says that
the great insurance companies
are the reservoirs fro m which
Wall Street is irrigated. The
trust companies, in which a hun
dred million dollars are kept on
deposit by the insurance compa-
MES are the irrigating bitches
and the owners of the water
rights are the stock gamblers on
Wall Street.
They get rich by merely tap
ping the irrigating ditch out of
which flows the gold that makes
a $225 crop sprout where pre-
viously grew only a 500 crop.
1t is certain, that interests
that are so va t, tina t
WELD so immense an influence
for good or evil and in which
nearly every family in the Uni
ted States has a stake consisting
mostly of hard-earned wages,
should be under federal super
vision. New Mexican.

Tie Conquest Of Our Plains.

People in search Of homes in a
favorable location are beginning
to look in this direction. They
see a railroad town in the midst
of a vast plain, so located that
two or three additional roads are
bound to come here within the
next one or two years. And the
question naturally suggests itself
to our prospectors for new
homes: What is there in the
surrounding region to support
the town and furnish business to
the railroads.? There is no tim
Der, and there is very little land
under cultivation.
The land that is and has been
under cultivation in this vicinity,
fully answers the above question,
Mines are being opened in the
surrounding hills, that in a few
years, will add immensely to the
wealth of this section of New
Mexico: but the real wealth of
the country, which, unseen and
dormant, is only waiting the in
telilgent application of capital
and labor, lies in the soil of the
of the vast plain lying between
Old Town on the north and
Columbus on the south, a tract
as rich as the valley of the Nile,
seventy-five miles in length by
twenty-five in width, unaffected
by washouts and uninjured by
floods that do such fearful dam
age in the mountain and hill Sec
tions of the Territory.
Of pure water there is an in
,exhaustible supply that can be
easily brought to the surface of
this vast plain by pumps, while
artesian or flowing wells are GER
tain to reward the outlay of a
little capital that will send a drill
Chinawards.
There is no land in America to-
day, not even the Bad Lands of
Montana, more hopelessly desert
than were the wide acres that
now constitute the most produc-
tive section of CALIFORNIA; gar
den belt. Water only is needed
to make the most barren soil on
this continent to break into
bloom and beauty. Can the wa
ter be secured by conservation,
by pumping, by artesian flow,
the conquest of the desert is
complete.
Here we have the soil, beneath,
an abundance of water; ano
there are thousands of people in
the east and north, weary Of
long and severe winters, who
would come here and begin i'm.
provelnents on homesteads in
this vicinity within the next six,
ty days, if they knew the ad.
vantages this section of the
southwest offers to those who
are looking for cheap lands in q
favorable climate and central To-
cation.
