OIIIUAOO , March 14. Ex-Congrcssman
Alloy , of Boston , who is part owner with
Colonel Ingorsoll , of the Dorsoy ranch
in Now Mexico , returned this morning
from n trip which ho nnd Colonel Ingor-
sell made a few weeks ago , with Ex-Sen
ator Dorsny , to their now property. Son-
ntor Dorsoy was left on his ranch , nnd
Alloy thinks , that ho will not bo cost
ngnin for a long timo. , The Boston cap
italist expressed. . himself as very
much pleased with his purchase , nnd
said that ho found the ranch in even
better shape than had * boon represented.
"You do not regret your purchase ,
then ? " ho was askod.
"Not at nil , " ho replied.
COL. INOEllSOIi AND MYSELF
were both delighted with it. There is
money in forty thousand head of cattle
Uioro , nnd the land is the finest in the ,
southwest. The ranch had not rundown , I
as was charged by semo persons. It is
in excellent condition. The property is
well drained , and the cattle nro entirely
free from any disease. "
NO } OOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
"Thoro is none of the foot and mouth
trouble there complained of in Kansas ? "
"Nono at nil , nnd from what ,1 learned
in Kansas the extent of the disease
among the stock there lias boon very
much exaggerated. It has only boon
discovered in one or two cases , and the
owners nro confident that they can stamp
It out. "
NO INTEUKST IN I'OLITICS.
Alloy said ho hoard of no politicians
while west , and that in New Mexico the
people were very little concerned about
presidents.
"Is it true that Doraoy is working to
become the first senator from Now Mexico
ice when that territory shall bo admit
ted ? " Mr. Alloy was asked.
"I don't believe it , " ho answered.
"Dorsoy is disgusted with politics , and it
will take him many years to overcome his
hatred of politicians , engendered by hia
recent experiences. Still ho may bo like
nn old war horse ho may prick up his
ears and respond to the familiar buglo-
call. I haven't much faith myself in the
repentance of politicians. Once they got
n taste of the excitement and political
rewards , it is hard to keep them out of
