DISTINGUISHED RAIL.
ROAD OFFICIALS
Of Santa Fe System Visit Capital City
En- Route West to the Pacific
Coast.

A party of distinguished railroad Of
ficials connected with the great Santa
Fe system, arrived in the city in car
number four, private car of the general
manager, j. f, Hurley, of the Santa
Fe system proper. In addi'
tion to Mr. Hurley, there were in
the party w. B. Hines, of New York,
general council; J. w. Hendrick, third
vice president, and H. Emerson, also
Of Chicago, in charge of betterments
and properties. They are on a trip
to the Pacific coast and left at 10
O'Clock this forenoon for the south.
General Manager Hurley, than whom
there is no better known or more
highly respected railroad official in
the west and southwest, chaperoned
the party about town, and introduced
it's members to officials and business
men generally. A call was made at
the office of the Bureau of Immigra-
ton, where illustrated literature de-
scriptive of New Mexico was pro-
cured and where some general infor.
nation concerning the Territory was
obtained. General Council Hines was
very desirous of ascertaining how the
irrigation systems of New Mexico are
progressing, especially concerning
those under construction by the Uni
ted States reclamation service in
Chaves and Eddy Counties, and the
Elephant Butte system in the Rio
Grande Valley. Questions were also
asked concerning politics in New Mex
leo, and the probability of securing
statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona under the Hamilton joint state
hood law. The visit was enjoyed very
much and the fine climate of this city
was highly commended. 1t was re-
gret to the four gentlemen, that they
could not find more time to spend in
the Capital on this visit
As usual with General Manager
Hurley, who has great deal in him
Of what President Roosevelt calls,
"strenuosity," he attended to local
company affairs, promptly and effec.
lively. He is always the general man
ager, and if anything that makes up
the performance of his duties escapes
him, the subordinate officers of the
road can not find it. If there is any.
thing that ought to be attended to
he is always sure to "catch on"
Incidentally Mr.. Hurley also attend
ed the annual meeting Of the Cerri-
los Coal and Iron Company, which was
held at the First National Bank this
morning.

at the same time would be capable
of filling the duties required. 1t is
my earnest desire that ali the dele
gates to this convention will be the
best men from each community and
that all will attend. understand that
a movement Is already on foot to bring
the next session or the session in 1903
to New Mexico and | trust that this
will be accomplished. This irrigation
congress means much to the people of
the Southwest. At its sessions, ques,
tions of irrigating and irrigation farm,
ing are brought up and discussed by
some Of the brightest and best in
formed men in the country.
Besides the members of the Gov
ernment Reclamation Service, the
officers of the interior department and
other similar officials, a number of
United States Senators and represen-
tatives are deeply interested In this
congress and attend its annual ses-
si0ns.
"The work being done and under
contemplation by the government
through its reclamation service, will
be one of the main topics for discus
sion at the coming meeting. Since
considerable work Is being done and
is to be done by this service in New
Mexico the 1906 session will be found
of great interest to our people. | am
anxious to have men at this conven-
tion, who will profit by it and who will
do what ever is necessary for the
safeguarding Of New Mexico's extern

Three Million Dollars.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The Milwaukee
Avenue State Bank, one Of the largest
outside OF the down town districts
and having deposits of over three mil.
lion dollars, today closed its doors
following a run. The first intlma
tlon of trouble was the appearance al
the bank Of twenty policemen who had
been dispatched in anticipation of dis,
order, the police department having
been notified officially that one Of the
officers OF the bank had absconded.
The suspicion of the depositors was
aroused by the sight OF the policemen
stationed in front of the bank and in
a short tine a large number demand
ed their money. The turbulence OF
the crowd was finally quelled by the
policemen.
Working People Robbed While Presi'
dent Rested.
The bank was organized in 1890 by
Paul 0. Stensland, who is its presi.
dent. The capital was S2500O0 with a
surplus of S250,000. OF three millions
on deposit the large part, it is said
is the savings of working people
President Stensland is now in Min

examiner, c. c. Jones, issued state

three officers of the bank is unknown
to him and that the bank is without
an official head. Theodore Stenslan(

Civil War.

st. Petersburg, Aug, 6.---unless dis
patches from the interior within few
hours entirely change the situation,
the general strike promises to prove
complete failure. Although the lib
erals are strongly opposed to the
course of the government they shrink
from precipitating civil war. Not
only is the sympathy of the public
lacking but in st. Petersburg some
of the various labor organizations find
many followers iukewarm and even in
open rebellion against the strike orders.
The central committee Of the rail-
road unions has not yet, so far as
is known, issued formal order to
strike. If the train service is not
brought to a standstill collapse Of
the strike movement is inevitable.
Government Arrested All Strike
Leaders.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.--Late this
afternoon it was evident that the gov
ernment had practically succeeded in
crushing the organized strike leaders
here. Inc central committee OF Social
Democrats was captured and placed
in prison early today and the great
est confusion prevails in the revolu'
tionary camp. The hope of the revo'
lutionists is now centered at MOSCOW
The st. Petersburg railroad committee
has decided to await the result Of the
strike at Moscow before attempting
to order cut its men. Wednesday is
now the Gay ON which they say the
railroad strike will begin. The EN-
ployes of several street railroad lines
who struck Saturday have resumed
work.

Fashion for Men.

The tendency among men this
spring and summer will be to wear
the quietest clothes possible. Some
wonderful creations in the way CT
waistcoats have been introduced to
go with the dinner coat, but the PLAIN
black remains the only correct form.
1t is cut U shaped, and has three but
tons. There will be no loud pattern
ed shirts or brilliant ties SO much in
favor some time ago, and the variety
of queer greens introduced last season
will be used only in mixtures. Gray
remains favorite because there is SO
much motoring and driving, and there
is NO better color for the road. The
colors so far imported by fashionable
tailors are all of the most sober de-
scription. There is general tenden-
cy to be informal and to discard after
noon dress. In America top hats are
rarely seen after May In fact, at two
fashionable country weddings last
SpllHS, ushSis
wore business suits and straw and felt
hats. There has been much specula-
ton regarding the modish collar for
spring and summer. The flaps of the
winged collar are pointed, as they are
found at the best haberdashers on
Fifth avenue and Broadway. The
collar for ordinary wear with colored
shirts will be the turnover or Eton,
not too high, with rounded ends. The
Panama hat has come to stay. The
real article was too expensive to be
cast aside in single season. Com
fort above all things is to be desired
in the spring and summer, and TINS
cannot be found in a stiff hat. a
straw hat that can be made into any
shape will come with the blossoms Of
May and -cmain the entire summer
