will make several tours which will
take in practically the whole United

NOTHING is LOST.

NOTHING is LOST.
Nothing is lost! The drop of dew
Which trembles on the leaf or
flower
Is but exhaled to fall anew
In summers thunder-shower;
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day;
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
Of fountains far away.
Nothing it lost! The tiniest seed,
By wild birds borne or breezes
blown,
Finds something suited to it's need,
Wherein tits sown and grown.
The language of some household
song,
The perfume of some cherished
flower,
Though gone from outward sense, be-
To memory's after-hour.
So with our words, or harsh or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgot;
They have their influence on the
mind,
Pass on, but perish not.
So with our deeds, for good or i'll,
They have their power scarce I'M
derstood:
Then let us use our better will
To make them rife with good.

MEXICO IS TRYING TO
RyANESQUE ITS
RAILROADS
Government Plans Big Hold
ing Company to Control All
Lines in the Republic.
SOME STOCKHOLDERS
OBJECT TO THE PLAN

New York, May THAT the gov
ernment of Mexico is trying to inter-
met them out of their property by a
Ryanesque holding company deal, is
the complaint of a committee of
bondholders Of the Mexican Central
Railway company. They are repre-
sented by Edward L. Andrews of No
25 Broad street, who sent this tele-
gram to Senor j. Y. Limantour, min
ister of finance of Mexico
Holders of $3,O0O,OOO of Mexican
Central consolidated income bonds de-
cline to donate their securities for
stock in a holding company.
In view of your proposition to ne
gotiate for other terms of purchase
of our property we would consider
the acceptance of fixed interest bonds
for so per cent of first incomes and
40 Fer cent of the second incomes.
These investments are held by hard
headed Englishmen and Americans"
The Mexican government has a plan
on foot to merge all the railroads of
the republic and control them through
u $G15, 100000 holding company. 1t
already controls the Mexican National
railroad and is anxious to bring the
Mexican Central into the combination,
These are the two principal systems in
the republic. The Mexican Central
Railway company Is a Massachusetts
corporation. Much of its stock is
held in Germany and through inter-
ests controlled by Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
Ladenburg, Thalman & Co, Speyer
Brothers and Hallgarten & Co.
1t has $3S, 900, 900 of first and sec
ond income bonds, owned chiefly Oy
American and English investors. No
interest has been paid on these bonds
for many years, through the manipu-
lation of the stockholders, according
to Mr. Andrews. They want to get
the bonds out of the way
The holding company IS to issue
$225.O00,0OO of AZ per cent first
mortgage bonds; $3.50, 100000 per
cent general or second mortgage
| bonds; $4,000, 900 of first preferred
stock, $l25, 100000 of second pre-
ferred and S75.O0O,OOO of common
stock.
The proposition which the income
| bondholders rebel at is that they cX-
| change their bonds for the holding
companys second preferred stock on
the basis of dollar for dollar for the
incomes and $40 for 500 Of the first
| incomes.

HEARING INVOLVES THE
BRAzITC LAND
GRA i
Special iaspJy@s. From Inter-
lor Department investigates
Rival Claims atlas Cruces.
VALUABLE LAND
Is UNDER DISPUTE

Las Cruces, n. NJ, May IA hear
special inspector of the interior de-
partment, that involves over 5000
acres of what is known as the Bra
zito grant lying about seven miles
south of Las Cruces, and which de-
pends for settlement upon the course
of the Rio Grande in 1854.
The occasion for the hearing is the
request of the owners of the Brazito
tract for a patent on the land con-
tanned in it. A patent has already
been issued on the territory known
as the Santo Tomas grant.
The case dates back to the first sur
veys that We're made of the valley as
carly as 1854. At this time one Ste
venson Archer of Texas made "a survey
of this land and the Brazito grant,
as surveyed by him, was confirmed by
| Congress in 1860. In 1863 another
survey was made by Leonard M.
| Brown, which showed the river in a
old plat, the Brazito grant was wholly
to the east of the river. while the
| Santo Tomas was on the west side of
the river as 1t then ran. But it is a
| known fact among the early residents
of the valley that the Rio Grande has
I changed its course during that time,
and it is even said that at one time
/ ran between Mesilla and Las Cruces.
| Evidence will oe introduced by at
/ torneys for the owners of both grants
| i'm order to show where the river ran
at the time Of the survey Of 1854, and
large number of the older residents
| of Las Cruces and the valley will be
/ examined as TO this fact
/ Inspector Upton has been in Las
/ Cruces since March at the request
/ of Secretary Garfield of the interior
/ department, under whose direction he
works He has been making a care
/ full investigation Of the situation, hav-
! ing a field party Of engineers running
/ locating lines over the two grants in
, gathering data for his report on the
/ case.
He will submit the evidence brought
out at the hearing along with the re-
suits Of his Investigations in the mat
/ ter to the interior department, and it
will be left for Secretary Garfield to
/ decide whether to grant or deny the
/ request of the Brazito grant owners
. for a patent
The Brazito grant contains 1883
acres, according to the Brown sur
vey and the SantO Tomas grant con
tains 9,622 acres. The greater part
| of the land in the BraZito grant Is
held by the Edward & Gallagher com
pany of California, while the Mesilla
Realty company owns the most Of the
Santo Tomas grant.
A large part OF the latter Is under
cultivation and IS considered valuable

on His arrival on the Pacific Mail

number OF other federal attaches and
policemen, met the steamer. Bishop
Harris was placed aboard the revenue
cutter Golden Gate and taken to Oak

The action of the government Off
clals came in response to a request
from Washington.
As a companion of the late Durham
w. stevens, adviser to Korea. who
was shot at the ferry depot while on
the way to Washington, and one who
had studied conditions in Korea un-
der the japanese rule, Bishop Harris
was warned by the American ambas-
sador to Japan and the Japanese Off
cials before leaving the orient to
avoid making any statements on the
Korean question upon his arrival at
san Francisco. While the bishop was
on the liner Korea a number of tele-
grams were received from Washing
tor by the federal officials here to the
effect that a plot to murder the mis-
sionary on his arrival had been
formed among the Koreans of this
city. The surveyor of the port was
directed to take every possible means
of safeguarding the bishop while here.
When seen on the Korea Bishop Har-
ris said;
II might say that my work i'm Ko-
rea has been along missionary lines

and Japanese and am at a loss to un-
