NEW SOUTH AMERICAN LINE.
Service Of Brazilian-Owned Company
Inaugurated.

The first important steamship line owned
by South American capital and connecting
the United States and South America will
inaugurate its service today with the sail
ing Of the steamer Goyaz from Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, for New York. This new line con-
Meeting North and South America is to be
operated by the Lloyd razileiro Company,
a corporation controlled by Brazilian capt.
tai, which now has several coast lines
operating in Brazil and is an important
factor in the extensive Plate river trade.
The new service between Rio Janeiro and
New York will pay special attention to the
accommodation of passengers, and has sew
eral large ships under construction.
Brazil is very proud Of this new enter
prise which is to connect the two halves
Of this continent. The Goyaz will leave
Rio Janeiro with ceremonies appropriate
to the opening of the new line, and upon
her arrival in New York on September 10
Mr.. Amaral, the Brazilian charge in Wash
ington, will greet the ship, thus giving the
recognition Of the Brazilian government to
the completion of the first sailing of the
new line.
On its voyage from Rio Janeiro to New
York the Goyaz will make stops at Bahia,
Pernambuco, Ceara, Para and Barbados
This makes four lines operating between
the United States and Brazil.

corning Commissions.
The policy of the administration regarding
appointments in the army is set forth in
the following order just issued by the War
Department:
THE Secretary Of War, concurring in an
opinion of the acting judge advocate gen.
eral, having decided that the paragraph of
the regulations which purported to vest au-
thority in the Secretary of War to limit

listed men who have successfully passed
the prescribed examinations shall be held

animation. of not to exceed twelve honor

animation for cavalry and infantry, will

standing, and will be eligible for appoint
ment.

MINERS WON ALASKA ELECTION
Rebuke to National Government for
Neglect Of interests.


Neglect Of Interests.
Alaska has elected two miners to seats
In the House of Representatives as her ter
ritorial delegates. They defeated the re-
publican and democratic nominees in the
elections last week by overwhelming ma
jorities, and their election is looked on as
Alaska's protest against broken promises
by the national government and neglect of
her interests and opposition to wealthy cor
porations.
The new delegates are Thomas Cole
elected by 1881 plurality. for the long
term, and Frank Waskey, who received
2,9S7 majority, for the short term Cole
is native of Wisconsin, is known as
town, and has been a miner since 1897
Frank Waskey was told Of his nomina-
ton in the shaft of one Of his mines while
at work. He Is thirty-three years old, is
Minnesotan and his home is at Nome
He is energetic and knows the needs Of
Alaska He Is known as a trail blazer''
there, which interpreted means q man who
accomplishes what he sets out to do.
An instance of the neglect Of Alaska's
interests is the matter of history that last
year the Alaskans had to take up a collec-
ton among themselves to hire oficials in
the post office service on account of the
insufficient appropriation granted them by
the government for this purpose. And
they had to do the same thing again this
year, although the matter had been brought
to the attention Of the government Off
cials, without avail. Port scandals In
which federal officials have been involved
In Alaska also had q part In determining
the election.

A FRANK ADMISSION.

Albuquerque Journal.
A short time ago, when Governor
Hagerman was in Las Vegas, a cor
respondent of the Optic a an in
terview with him touching public
affairs, and in the course of his re
marks the governor said, speaking
of the ~penitentiary, that a consider
able amount of the sum appropriated
for the current expenses of this cal,
had been use by the late superintend-
ent for paying the bills of last year,
and that consequently the new sup
intendent was left short of funds for
this years expenses.
About a week ago, the editor of
the Las Vegas Optic interviewed Mr..
Bursum on this subject, and in the
course of hat interview, as printed
in the Optic, he said:
"Tne statement made by Governor
Hagerman to the effect that a portion
of last years bills had been paid out
of appropriations for maintenance
of the ~penitentiary for his year, is
substantially correct. There are other
factsJ however, in connection with
this matter which put a little differ
ent light upon the subject"
The "other facts here alluded to
consist wholly of a statement to the
effect that a certain part of his years
appropriation had been expended for
materials still on hand, but how this
is to put any different light upon
the subject we are unable to under
stand. 1t is admitted, plainly and
squarely, that more or less of his
years appropriation had beer used to
pay last years bills, and that is a
thing which the statute plainly and
positively declares shall not be done.
In direct violation of the plain letter
of the law, therefore, the institution
has been left short of funds for de-
fraying the current years expenses,
and were it not for the fact that the
new superintendent has instituted a
more economical system, and is also
making a greatly improved showing
in the account of %convict's earnings.
the p~enitentiary would doubtless find
itself before the end of the year in
a very embarrassing situation.

ADMINISTRATION PROTECT
ING BEEF PACKERS

A press dispatch from Chicago re-
ports that 1.-The President does not
deem the new meat-inspection bill
water-tight." Nor is that the worst of
1T, for he same dispatch says: I'm
der the new regulations the packers
lose that which is declared unfit. If
a more rigid examination is made be-
fore the cattle are shipped or offered
for sale much of this loss would not
fall on the packers" Secretary Will
son has been in Chicago to arrange
for close inspection of cattle at points
of shipment. This can only mean that
the administration is trying to pre-
vent loss to the e packers and to
