 Mrs. Fanny D. Brent, who for several years past has been operating mining property in Sonora, Mexico. with headquarters at Hermosilo, is again a guest at the Montezuma hotel. Mrs. Brent is the lady from whom U s. Deputy Collector W. w. Carpenter on the 2O5h of April at the Monte zuma hotel, this city, seized 0 number of diamonds valued at nearly one thousand dollars. Mrs. Brent will take legal action to recover her jewelry which is now in the possession of Col- lector of Customs McCord. United States Attorney J. L. B.

Tn view of the fact that Mrs Brent resides in Mexico, where she has large property interests, and believed she had a right to wear her personal ornaments into this country, many persons believe Mrs. Brent will recover her property.

THE TALK GOES ON.
Senator Smith in Senate-Enright and
Leydig in House.

Senator Smith resumed the passen-
ger rate discussion when the senate
commenced business this afternoon.
Sena tor smith thought that it would
be safe to pass the Noftzger amend
ment as far as the constitutional
question involved. He did not think,
however. that the mileage ticket
should be made to apply to families.
The debate is beginning to assume
the aspect of a lawsuit. The lawyer
members of the senate have their
desks piled with law books. Indications
are that some of them put in the noon
hour looking up decisions
Senator Young read a lot of law in
making a reply to Senator Smith.
Senator Young thought the Noftzger
amendment to be out of order.
The commercial side of the PROPOSE
ton was discussed by Senator Porter
Of Montgomery. He thought the rate
reduction should be determined not by
legal decisions, but by the question of
commercial necessity He thought that
one-third reduction of passenger earn
ings is too much.

vides that the railroads shall be requir-
ed to sell 900 mile tickets, good from

General Hugh Cameron. Lawrence,
Dear General:-I desire to tender
my compliments and approval of the
mission you are about to undertake in
paying a visit to ex-senator E. G.
Ross, at Albuquerque, N. NJ.
Very few Of US young men appre-
ciate the full significance Of your visit,
and the message you are to bear TO
him. 1t will certainly be a source of
great comfort and solace to him in his
declining years to have his old friend
and comrade make pilgrimage hair
way across the continent to convey to
him a message of fraternal love, after
the absence of so many years
Time and patient waiting, In my
Judgment have at last brought to ex-
an endorsement of the judgment he
expressed by his vote years ago, which
practically exiled him from politics IN
Kansas. Those were indeed trying
times in which you and he were. young
men together. Indeed you both lived
in one of the greatest periods of our
country's history, and perhaps in the
crowning centuries of all the ages that
visit will be of great interest to your
self and will awaken many pleasant
recollections in your old friend, to
whom, please give my compliments.
