its place the old feeling of mistrust
has been revived The Liberals are
dumbfounded, in view of semi-official
assurances on the subject, by the un-
expected PRONUNCIATION late last night
of the obnoxious fundamental law in
slightly modified form. This law in
cludes the exemption of crown lands
from taxation and reserves the power
of amnesty for political prisoners to
the emperor. The indignation aroused
by the emperor's attempt to build an
artificial dyke around the prerogatives
of the crown has been intensified by
the astounding action of the police
last night in dispensing a meeting of
some members of the lower house of
parliament and of the upper house at
the hall of the Economical Society
An indescribable scene followed, af-
ter which Roditcheff, member of
Parliament in an impressive speech
declared the Governments appeal,
they were confident had again been
false and that the people must rely
on themselves. 1t was decided one of
the first things after the assembling
of Parliament shall be a demand for
the dismissal of the chief of police.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
RemodeIed Building to BE one of the
Finest.

The contract for the improvement
and remodeling of the First National

most extensive contractors for such
work in the United States, having

been here about two weeks confer
ring with Cashier Cahoon and the
bank officials. After completed the
First National Bank building will be
the most complete and handsomest
banking house in New Mexico. Mr..

ment as to the cost of the improve
mentS, but it is known to be a large
sum. The present front will be re-
moved and the entrance will be
changed from the corner to the fur
ther side of the east front. Plate

be installed. The floor will be of the
finest mosaic. The vaults and safes
will be of the latest burglar-proof
type, and safety deposit boxes will
be added.

will be extended from the rear of
the bank to the alley, to be used for
the offices OF the institution. Part of
this building will be two stories in
height and will also contain offices
for the City Clerk, Mayor and City
Council. The building will be mod
ern and a monument of enterprise
to which the city can point with
pride.

They Get Through Alright

Owing to the unprecedented
snowfall and peculiar weather con-
ditions, the P. & I. N. railway is
experiencing great difficulty in GET
ting it's trains through, the round
trip frequently occupying from ten
to twelve hours. The total snow
fall at Council for this winter to
the present time approximates
about 70 inches, and at Cambridge
about 6O.inches. The snow storms
have alternated with cold rains,
which froze solid during the night,
and created condition exceedingly
difficult to combat, the ice freezing
on the rails and often having to be
cleared with pickaxe before trains
could proceed. Notwithstanding
this, the service has not been sus-
pended for a single day.-Weiser

Splendid Weather.

The weather for more than a
week past has been splendid. For
winter weather it could not be ex-
celled anywhere. The days have
been clear, bright and sunny,
while the nights have been clear
and moderately cold. Snow, meas
ured yesterday evening, is SO inches
deep on the level, about the same
depth as our deepest snow of last
winter. AS we have had an un-
usually heavy snowfall for so early
in the winter, we may probably get
