whereby the uprising against liquor
can be quelled were discussed at
length.
VIII Ruin Business
The two associations, which include
all the prominent brewers and malt
ers of the entire country, will unite
in common warfare against prohi-
bition. and will spend money regard
less Of what the fight may cost.
According to the statements of sew
eral brewers the sentiment against H.
quor is growing at such great rate
there will soon be but few places not
under the ban of prohibition laws.
Unless this wave of sentiment car
be checked it means absolute ruin foi
the brewers, anu they are willing K
spend fortune in attempting to stoT
the spread OF prohibition, Within the
past year an enormous amount of ter
ritory principally in the southern
states, heretofore regarded as the
stronghold of the liquor interest, has
been added to the dry area of the
United States, and the movemen
against the sale of liquor of any de-
scripuon is rapidly spreading.

PARTY LINES TO Be
CLOSELY DRAWN
Republican Senators viii Vote Al
most Unanimously for Bill and
Democrats Against twill be
Substitute for House Cur
renCy Act.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Senators AL
drich and Bailey believe that the Sem
ate will probably vote on the AldriCh
currency bill next Friday or Saturday
and believe it probable the bill will
pass
When the half dozen speeches yet
to be made by the various senator's
who have asked for time III which to
present their views, have been made.
Senator Bailey will offer his bill as
substitute for the Aldrich bill, and
when it is voted down, as it's author
comedies it will be, the committee on
finances will itself bring in some
amendments.
Draw Party Lines
The AldriCh bill will receive almost
the unanimous vote of the Republican
senators, but it is conceded that a
few from the far west will cast their
ballots in the negative. The Demo-
Gratis will vote against the bill with
but few exceptions
When the bill goes to the House an
effort will be made to have it accept
ed as substitute for any measure
that may be introduced in the House
by the committee on currency and
banking, and it is believed this will
be accom- plished.

TERRITORIAL BANKS
ARE IN FINE
SHAPE
Travelling Auditor Complies
Statement Showing Excel
lent Standing.
DEPOSITS SHOW GAIN
DURING PAST YEAR

Santa Fe, Feb. 2l, TWenty-three
banks are now doing 3,Lsir ess in New
Mexico under territorial charter. AC-
cording to a summary of the financial
condition of these institutions which
has been prepared by Travelling Au-
ditor Charles V. Stafford the territor-
ial banks make an excellent showing
for the year ending December 81,
1907.
Mr.. Safford's statement shows that
at the close of business December 81,
1907, the total deposits in these
banks were $2,SO7,91O.OS as compar-
ed with $2,6SS,055.52 on December
81, 1906, representing an increase of
$119,S54.56. The gain in deposits is
all the more satisfactory because of
the fact that financial panic pre-
vailed during the three last months
of 1907, which undoubtedly served to
curtail the amount that would have
been deposited under ordinary cir
Cumstances
Mr.. Stafford was recently quoted as
saying the territorial banks We're in
splendid condition. He said there
would be no failures here as a result
of the recent money panic and this
assertion was not made until after a
careful examination Of the banking
situation.
Resources and Liabilities.
Following are figures showing the
liabilities and resources of the various
territorial banks as taken from the

WANT INFORMATION
OF ACTUAL CONDITIONS
Disappointment Because Court
Would Not Receive Testimony
Showing How Fortress Was
Prepared to Resist
Selge.

st. Petersburg Feb. 21.-The
decision of the court martial
which yesterday found General
Stoessel guilty and passed sem
tence of death on him. rec
ommending that it be commuted to
ten years Imprisonment, Is received
with little satisfaction in the Russian
capital it is felt that the trials Of
General Stoessel. General Fock, Gen
eral Reiss and General SmyrnOff have
done little to establish the real re-
sponsibility for the fall Of Port Ar
thur.
While the court did fix the extent
of the guilt of General Stoessel and
the others who took part in the re-
sstance at Port Arthur, it did not
Judge the situation of which they
were the product and this failure Of
the court to go into condition at Port
Arthur is censured in official circles.
Who Was Responsible?
The attitude of the court is today
receiving the criticism of all Russians,
and particularly of those who took
part in the war. The court declined
to admit any testimony during the
trial of the officers which would show
the preparedness of the fortress at
the beginning of the war with Japan,
the assistance the Russian navy gave
in defending the marine stronghold
and other underlying factors in the
humiliation, of Russia.
While in abandoning the fortress
the officers may have been technical
ly guilty of cowardice, there is sem
timent that they should not be held
accountable for conditions, if such ex-
listed, that made the fort impossible
to hold. For this reason there was a
desire to have the court hear testt-
mony which would show actual condi-
tions preceding the fall of Port Ar
thur.
Try Other General.
The newspapers of the city today
express sympathy for General Stoes-
sci and declare that the sentence OF
death will undoubtedly be cOmmuted
to imprisonment,
They demand also that General Ku-
rOpatkin, VicerOy AleXiff and the 9th
er officers. who were more response
BILE for the loss of the war than Stoes-
sci, be placed on trial, and the en-
tire campaign reviewed by public
| court.

DEMAND CHICORY.
F0eign-Born Americans introducing =
New Product

The steady demand by those who have
emigrated to this country from Europe Ia
daily creating a greater demand for chic.
DRY to improve the flavor of coffee
1t Is a fact not generally known to
Americans that chicory, owing to its ne.
culiar properties, neutralizes harmful eff.
fects which result from the drinking OF
straight coffee as a beverage.
Now that it is becoming 50 difficult to
secure coffees at any price which are
really palatable, it is worth remembering
that a mixture of coffee and chicory viii
give a beverage which we have dill
find, for the family breakfast viz the
same good coffee we so much admire In
first-class restaurants and hotels.
We have our European citizens by
adoption to thank for this. Used as they
have been for more than hundred years
to add little chicory to their coffee, this
was a custom that clung to them after
coming TO America.
Their constant demand for 1t upon our
merchants led to its being imported in
largely increasing quantities until one Of
the largest foreign firms engaged in pre-
pairing 1t established great works here in
America.
Since then its use has widened until
nearly all classes are now using II
daily. Because ii improves the taste Of
coffee and takes away its bad effects.
Leading merchants are now putting up
their package coffees with the addition
of the proper proportion of chicory and
plainly labelling the package accordingly.
This insures you coffee and chieory OF
the quality that will produce a beverage
like that served in the best hotels and
restaurants.

Naval Appropriation Bill Up.

Washington-The dove of peace how
cred over the house Friday. Instead
OF interminable roll calls and clashes
of party leaders on questions of par
liamentary law, there was an orderly
session devoted almost entirely to the
consideration of the naval approprla-
ton bill Both Chairman Foss of IL
linois and Mr. Padgett of Tennessee
of the committee on naval affairs
made exhaustive speeches Justlfylng
the action of the committee in report
ing what they characterized as con-
servative naval program for the next
fiscal year. Messrs. Favrot of Louisi-
ana, McKinlay and Knowland of Cali
fornia pleaded for a navy of such size
as to be capable of upholding at all
times the honor of the country at
home and abroad, while Mr.. Bartholdt
of Missouri advocated a halt in naval
increase and the substitution for it OF
arbitration in matters of international
disputes.
Many other speeches were made
under the order of general debate on
the naval bill, but they were on other
subjects. The list included Messrs.
Webb of North Carolina, who favored
the regulation of interstate traffic in
intoxicating liquors; Lamar of Mis-
souri,, who wanted a stricter Sunday
observance law for the District of
Columbia; Touvele Of Ohio, who
pleaded for monument to the men
under Generals st. Clair and Wayne,
who fell in battle against the IT
dams Parkins of New York, who de-
sired free wood pulp; Kustermann OF
Wisconsin, who emphasized the ne
cessity for decent American legation
buildings abroad and Mr.. Aiken of
South Carolina, who pleaded for re-
fund of the cotton tax.

Washington, d. C.-Advices have
been received here that a move is on
at Canton by the Chinese to press the
boycott against all things japanese
until Japanese commerce has suffered
to the extent of $300000,0 900 Mexican.
The movement is spreading.
This sum just happens to be $4,000
for every dollar the Kwang-Tung gov
eminent was compelled to pay the Jap
anese owners of the Tatsu Maru for
the arms and ammunition upon that
vessel, whose seizure and subsequent
release upon Japan's demand form the
basis of the boycott movement.
In Canton 157 dealers in japanese
products have voluntarily signed an
agreement in no circumstances to sell
such goods.
Another case reported is that a Jap
anese coal ship is unable to unload on
account of the refusal of the coolies to
handle her cargo The merchants of
Canton, Hong Kong and other points
have served notice on their CORE
spondents not to ship in Japanese bot

DISCOVERY OF ORGANl-

SEVERAL FORTUNES MADE
1t Is Reported That as Many as e
Chinese Have Crossed the In
ternational Boundary Line
in One Night.

Detroit, Mich.-Through the bitter
rivalry of three Canadian organiza-
lions for smuggling Chinese into the
United States, wholesale scheme of
bringing the orientals illegally across
the international border here at De
troit was discovered Thursday.
1t is said that some nights as many
as % Chinese had been smuggled
across the line and that several com
Portable fortunes had been made at
the business during the past two
years by enterprising young men who
have made Windsor, Ont, their head
quarters The immigration authofi-
ties here have scant hope of reaching
the principals in the three competing
agencies, but a man who gives his
name as A. Mccain is held at the
Wayne county jail in connection with
the capture last Tuesday of three Chi
nese at Adrian, Mich.
The Cinnamon and McMann were
found in a Wabash box car bound for
Chicago. There was a dead horse IN
the car and the four men were con.
cealed under the straw.
The plan was to engage freight
car at Detroit for the shipment of a
horse, some worthless animal bein-'
placed in the car for a blind. The
Chinese, it is said, have been freely
brought across the Detroit river on
the railroad car ferries, being hidden
with the connivance of employees on
the boats until the immigration in
spectors had made their rounds and
then hurriedly directed to empty
freight cars. There they would be
transferred to freight cars especially
engaged and usually started west on
the Wabash freight No. So, which
makes only one regular stop between
Detroit and Chicago.

An End MISSING.

An Irishman who served on board
a man-ofwar was selected by one OF
the officers TO haul in a towline of con.
siderable length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 80
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof. as well as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself:
Surely it's as long as to-day and to.
morrow. It's a good weeks work for
any five in the ship. Bad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last What,
more Of it yet? Och, murder The
says mighty deep, to be sure."
After continuing in a similar strain
and conceiving there was little prob.
ability of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and, adj
dressing the officer of the watch, ex.
claimed: Bad manners to me, sir il
l don't think somebody's cut off the
other end of it!'-The Pathfinder.
