JUKI prior to lib departure for
ton to look after judicial appointments Qov-
ornor Otoro signed on order commuting the
salience of Joflo Chavez y Chavez , the Las
Vegas murdorcr , to life Imprisonment. An
official nnnouncemcnt , for sonio cause or
other , was not made public untlt now , nay *
a Santa Po correspondent ot the Dsnver 1'ost.
The fact that the governor roftuod to consult
the trial judge In t'lo case causes much
comment , although on the other hand three
of the supreme court Justices who decided
against the accused Joined In the cppcal for
executive clemency. That Chavez Is a notor ,
lous criminal Is not denied. As a member of
Billy the Kid's gang years ago ho Is charged
with the most brutal crimes and he was the
f.rlnclpal In tlio murder ot young Romero at
1/38 Vegan live yeara ago , acting under direc
tions frctn the Sllva Rung of outlaws.
, The case came before the executive purely
upon technical questions of law.
Joao Chavez L the last nf the most ruthless
and ilcn orate hand of marauders and bandits
tbit northern New Mexico IMS had In a gen
eration. The mills of Jtstlco have been
grinding very slowly In the territory In the
last few years cmd they have not ground so
exceedingly line after all at least In the
cases of tlicse convicted and thoroughly bad
men. Out of seventeen men more or less
directly connected with eight known murders
and robborlw utid suspected of as many mo.u
usuisslmitlons and dozens of burglaries aud
thieveries , but three have been hanged , four
sot to serving life scntC'iires ' 111 tlio New
Mexican penitentiary , four pardoned and per
mitted to walk the street * ) of Las Vegas to
day as free men acid four ect to serving sen
tences of live and ten years , while two have
died.
EIGHTEEN IN THE SECRET.
For four years Vicente Sllva and his seven
teen secret followers held the i.icople In north
ern New Mexico und southern Colorado In
terror for their lives and property and much
of that time no one outside- the gang Itself
ti3.il an idea of the Identity ot HID men who
were stealing and killing their cattle , rob
bing their storehouses or wool , burglarizing
etores and c'ostolllccs and occasionally as-
basslnntlng a man on a ranch remote from
any community. The fearful dread that the
Sllva gang created In that region Is still
manifest. The significant shrug of the
shoulders by the sheep and cattle herders
at a casual mention of Sllvu's < name , the
anxiety of settlers in cloiolate nxvmtaln
places for assurance that the last remnant of
the 'Sllvn ' gang had been punched , and the
brightened Interest tliat little children have
In all laics about the doings of Sllva and his
folloivcrd show what dread ths pecplo who
live among the Hatan mountains , remote
from towns and from any association , with
human beings , have held for the band of out
laws now broken up and brought to justice.
Vicente Silvj was a saloon keeper In Ma
Vegas. Ho was born In San Barnallllo
county , New .Mexico , In IS 13 , was tall and
well built , and had an Intelligent face and
agreeable manners. lie Has reared a neigh
bor of the Navajo Indiana , and as a youth
he saw repeated wanton shedding of human
blood tcid know all about robberies and
rapine. It Is natural , then , that lie u-is an
outlaw at 20. Ho went with a dozen other
.Mexicans to Wyoming fci 1S77 , and waa u
vaqucro there for about a year. Ono day
lie met the wife of a Mexican railroid la
borer , und together they started on brcuchca
across the country for Colorado. The hus
band , Felipe Agullar , came home next day
and started pest haste after the elopers.
AVhat took place was never fully known ,
but Sllva end his now wife reached Loa
Vegas , worn out and ragged , after weeks
of horsotack travel , and a month later the
news followed after them tr-at an American
farmer In southern Wyoming , near Chey-
cunc , had found the decom-poo&d remains of
a man , who resembled Felipo Aguilar , be-
ccath a straw stack. The head was nearly
cut off and there were mortal cuts through
the chest. No one over doubted that Felipo
had como upon Sllva and the eloping wife ,
and that the husband had been stabbed to
death and hUj body concealed In the- straw
stack.
SILVA'S LAS VEGAS SALOON' .
In 1SS3 Sllva opened a saloco In Las
Vegas. The cattle and sheep herders and
silver miners nwdo money faat these days ,
und his pMco became the meet frequented
in San Miguel county. There was always
( i crowd of cowboys , shecphcrders and wool
< und cattle buyers at Sllva'a , and the old-
tlmcrs say that some of the most oxcittag
moments they have ever known In the ter
ritories were those In Vicente Sllva's sa
loon ot an evening , when the Mcxlcano from
the ranges had become drutik and ugly.
The cattle and wool business rapidly do-
rllncd In 1SS7 and 1SSS. and custom at Sllva's
bar fell away fast. Hard times and an ox-
tmvagant taste quickly bred In Sllva the ,
old-time taste for outlawry as an easy means
of livelihood , and whllo ho toughed and
joked with patrcns at the bar and gave
csliwlallouoly and gcnerounly to charity , ho
wtia secretly and at night organizing the
iuc t thorough band of marauders yet known
in that region. Long association with the
half-breed IcidMns of San Miguel , Santa Fe
und gall llarnallllo comities made him fa-
mll'ur with the men mcist suitable for an
organization for robbery and plunder , and
he nude few errors In his choice of fol
lowers.
The meeting place- was the Sllva saloon
at iight after the lights had been put out
and tlio business cloned. No band of Molly
Magulrcs were ever bound by such secrecy
unj caths as wcro the ( seventeen men who
jolnrd the Sllva gang. Robbery of cattle ,
horses and shoe ) ) from the numerous lonely
ranchee In northern Now Mexico mid south
ern Colorado , with an occasional burglary ,
iinil a murder. If It becamenucruiary In the
courseof operations , was the purpose of the
Uir.il. Sllva bought for a mere sccig a
ranch thirty-two milts from Lis Vegaa oaear
Haii 1'cdro ) , among the lUtou mountains.
CH the taso of operations for hla secret hand
of lobboni. A more Isolated and uninviting
pot could hardly have been found Ui all
tint region. Scarcely a dozen people went
that way In the course of a year. The route
there- twisted among towering cliffs and
pinnacles of granite. IVitrlcto Maes and
Manuel MalcciaJo wcro appointed to look
after the ivnch and to tell all Inquirers that
it wa * . Sllva's property.
MV8TR1UOUS DISAPPEARANCES.
"I believe uoino 'seven people , " uald a
merchant ut Las Vegas the other day , while
recounting tlio terror that tlio Sllva gang
ou-ated In that region , "disappeared mys
teriously hero In Las Vegas from 1S8S to
189 : . ' , The sheriff of this county had reports
ill in cat weekly In that portion of robberies
of cattle and horses , and burglaries of ranch
houses mill Isolated stores , und he ami his
deputies worn covetously UgUnnt. There
M'IIB not a clew to bo had to the offenders ,
M'arcli as liurd as they could. Sllva himself
joined an organization and contributed
money toward detecting the robbers , and for
Iliullug what had become of the men who
had fctraiwly disappeared. "
At lust the secret of the crimes came. out.
ncruglo Eecmlbel , thu wealthiest ranchman
in San Miguel county , fouud four of his best
bom-ft mlcelng.
Events moved1 swiftly with the Sllva gang
after that. Sllva knew that there were sus
picions co.'icrriiliiK bla guilt Moating among
( ha people hi Las Vegas. Ho lied on Octo
ber 2C to a sccrot hiding place In tlio moun
tains near Los Alamos , Ho was indicted for
liorso and caltle stealing on November 7 ,
ISO.1 , and became a refugee from justice.
The governor of the territory and the eburHTs
lu northern Now Mexico got together and
offered. $1.000 for hie capture.
Suspcctlcs that ulsvlfo. . and ben youthful
brother , Qabrlcl Sandoval , were giving Information
mation tn the flherlff nnd the secret organ
ization of citizens that were slowly uncover
ing the crimes of his band , he- planned their
deaths. The plans wcro finished by January
23 , 18D3 , and on the evening ot that day
Sllva and Ouadalupc Cabre-lloro rode stealth
ily Into Las Vegas. Two policemen In the
town , Julian Trugcllo and Jose Chavez y
Chavez , who had been partially In league
will } the robbers nnd murderers from the
flrst , were sought out. They agreed to go
with Sllva to his own adobe homo and to
stand guard at the door whllo Sllva and
Cabrollero wont Insldo to deliberately stab
Mrs. Sllva and her brdlher to death. Joao
Chavez J1 Chavez was sent ahead to spy out
the situation at the Sllva home before Sllva
and Cabrellero went there. Chavez came
back and reported that Mrs. Sllva had com
pany , and that he had reconsidered and
would not bo a party to killing a woman
who had been a friend to him. Then the
plan was altered to kill young Sandoval ,
anyhow , and for Sllva to force- his wife to
flee with him to his mountain refuge. That
plan suited Policeman Chavez. Trugello
was sent to tell Sandoval that ho was wanted
at the homo of a sick friend In another
part ot Las Vegas. The young man responded
to the call. Just as ho was hurriedly pass
ing along a narrow , dark street lined with
ono-story tulnbo houses , Sllva leaped from a
dark retreat and stabbed him. Sandoval ut
tered a shriek and Jose. Chavez y Chavez
pounded the youth upon the head with a re
volver until the nkull was fractured. All
the party fled but Sllva and Cabrellcro , who
carried the body to a cesspool near 'by , where
It was thrown among the filth.
An hour later Sllva went alone to his wife
and by cajolery and protestations of his love
Induced her to set out at once for the moun
tains. What took place as the bandit hus
band and wlfo traveled on their horses along
the trail tip the Raton mountains that winter
night will never bo known , except that when
Sllva appeared to his half-dozen marauding
followers the next day ho said ho had fin
ished the job and there would be no more
"squealing down In Las Vegas. "
The sheriffs of Santa Fo and San Miguel
counties wcro In possession of sufllclont facts
by March , 1S93 , to. arrest twelve members of
the Sllva gong. There ) were warrants for
six more , but before they could bo served
the men had fled. The bodies of Francisco
Savono and Ramon Alvarado wore found 1n
April , 1S9.1 , on the road from Las Vegas to
Raton. Iloth had been allot and stabbed to
death , and It has since been supposed they
were killed because they know too much
about the murders and robberies of the
Sllva gang In the early days.

Land Commissioner Hermann Is now at
work on a special report to the secretary of
the Interior , recommending that a forest re
serve bo made out of the petrified forest of
Arizona. Recent reports received by the
'Interior department about the condition of
this forest , says a Washington roeolal. Indi
cate that It is rapidly being used up for
commercial purposes , and. unless the govern
ment steps In to stop the despoilment , the
whole forest , which is one of the greatest
natural curiosities In the world , will dis
appear. There Is now building in Denver a
hotel , all fjo walls of which arc to be faced
with the Elllclfled wood taken from the
forest , nnd all the tables for the hotel are
also to be made of it. At this rate of con
sumption It would not bo long boAro : all the
petrified wood would bo used up. Commis
sioner Hermann thinks that there Is Im
mediate necessity for action on the part of
the department. In his opinion the best
way In which the forest can bo preserved Is
to make It a forest reserve.
The forest Is located aear Holbrcok , In
Apache county , Ariz. Tiio largest and finest
specimens of Elllclfled wood In the world are
taken from It. Whole -trunks of trceo and
stumps with portions of the roots are found
there , converted Into stone as dcnso and
hard as the finest agate. Every cell and
every fiber of the former wood \n \ preserved
In stctie. A forest of trees cppears to have
been entombed in the rocks and to have been
preserved by a slow proces.3 of replacement
by alllca. from solutions permeating the bed.
Subsequently the surrounding sediments wore
washed away , but the enduring fossils of the
cree.3 remained.
Tens upon tctisot , rpeclmcns have been
taken away by collectors and dealers. A
company has been formed In South Dakota
for cutting and polishing t'.ic stone for archi
tectural and decorative work. Sections ot
these trees , four feet In diameter and largo
enough for the tcps or tables , have been cut
and polished. Many specimens wcro shown
at the Paris exposition , where they wcro
greatly admired for the perfect preservation
of every detail of structure of the wood ,
for the very high polish end for the ex-
qulalto Interblendlng of colors In the mass ,
duo to the presence of various oxides In the
original filllcifylng solutions. No other coun
try In the world. It la claimed , can send
to the lapidary such magnificent raw ma
terial of this nature as the petrified forests
of Arizona afford. Not even the imperial
works at Elcatorltiuourg , in Russia , with
their wealth of kalkansto jasper , massive
malachite and other superb ornamental
clones , can rival the beauty of t'ao agatlzed
wood of Arizona.
Commissioner Hermann Is confident that
Secretary Illlss will agree with him , whrn
the fuels are brought to his attention , of the
wisdom of making eomo provision to protect
this wonderful curiosity from despoilment.

Drufllnir Question to Come lu for

HUFFALO , N. Y. , Jan. 2l.-Among the
members of the Eastern and Western IJase
Hall leagues 'hero ' to attend a meeting of
Iho dele-gales of the two associations today
are President Powers , President Draper of
the Providence club , Hoeart of WllUesbarru
and Kuntseh of the Eastern league , Presi
dent Johnson , Charles Comlsky of St. Paul
and Vanderneck of Detroit. In addition to
the drafting- system na suggested by the
National league , the questions of playing n
aeries of Intel-league e.iamplonshlp games
and the drafting of players from the West
ern league by National league clubs for the
Western league or vice versa , will be con-
cklered.
President Draper of Providence says that
whllo t'bo two minor leagues cannot draft
c-ach olher's players. It Is possible for the
Nallonal league to draft a player from one
lexcuo and transfer 'him to the other. He
snys it Is hla belief that the Washington
club 'has ' drafted Catcher Dlxon of Ills club
for a Western league club , either Detroit
or Minneapolis.
Shortly after 4 o'clock ; the conference be
tween the Eastern and Western league delo-
Kato.s was called to order. At Mis nveting
it was agreed lo make a salary limit oC
f2.CfO a month for a team. In case. Ihc
manager Is a player these figures may be
Increased to J2,12j.
U was decided to petition the National
league not to adopt the proponed amend
ment to the drafting resolutions which
provides that a National IcJLcue club may
have thirty days In which to try u player
before accepting him.
There waa Home discussion as to the drafting -
ing of players by the National IP.IKUU In
the Interest of a minor league which bus
not the authority to draft , but no action
was taken.
At the conclusion of the Joint meeting
another meetingof the Eastern league
executives was held. As the managers of
the Wllkcsbarrc club showed conclusively
that It was financially able to maintain Its
position In thu league It was decided to
continue as an vleftt-ulub league , with
Springfield , Providence , Wllkcsbarre , Syra
cuse , Rochester , UufTalo , Toronto and Mont
real.The
The Eastern league delegates this after
noon ratified the transfer of the Scranton
frui ehlse to Rochester.

NEW YORK , Jan. 2l.-Speclal.-IIenry ( )
Clews , head of the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co. , writes ot the situation on
Wnll street :
During the earlier nart of the last week
there was considerable realizing of profits
on the Stock exchange , with some consequent
quent fall In prices , the Introduction of the
Cuban , question Into the -house of represen
tatives and the stir raised by the Teller
resolution having helped this tendency.
During the later days , however , these In-
lluences lost much of tholr force and the
market showed some Improvement ; but It
seems likely that there may be same reser
vation of buying until a vote Is reached
on the house proposal to recognize the bel
ligerency o the Cubans. In the general
situation of the stock market there is llttlo
change. All the good factors connected
with the railroads continue and the pros
pects of a year of extraordinary freight
business receive confirmation from current
experience. The aspects of domestic : trade
are producing largo expectations for the
spring business ; and itlthougn some Inter
ruption to Industry may arise from the at
tempts In New Kngkmil to adjust wages ta
the still downward tendency of prices , that
Is regarded ns the chief condition needful
to a return to normal manuni-turers' profits
and therefore la viewed as wholesome In Its
ultimate effects. S'-lll , at the moment , there
is no really new bull tiictorcalculated toglvo
any Important stimulus tj buying , and the
market Is therefore neutral and waiting for
"something to turn up. "
The January reinvestment demand has
centered so largely upon railroad bonds that
those Investments have risen to virtually
unapproachable prices , with the consequence
quence of diverting buying lo the lower
grade of mortgagi's and causing more de
mand for tlrst-cl iss dividend-paying stocks.
Those effects of the investment demand
have not yet worked out Ihelr results upon
the speculative securities , but remain as an
umllbcjuntcd factor to aid in Homo now
combination of circumstances helpful to an
upward movement In the stork market.
Our current relations with the foreign In
vestment centers present features of un
usual Interost. I have recently called al-
tPiitlon to the cessation of the return of our
Investments from Europe , which reached
large dimensions during the last half of
1897. Now , this current seems to have
taken the opposite direction. During last
week , probably not le.s than 50.WW shares
of sloc-k wore sent to London , Amsterdam
und Berlin : and within the last week some
scattering buying orders have been received
whllo there has been no evidence of any
selling. Had It njt been for the offer-la of
short harvests In Europe , wo should prob
ably have witnessed , larcie foreign orders
for our securities ; but the" leading countries
having had to majte very unusual outside
purenasos of food 'products , the exchanges
have been turned 'as-.iir.st them to tin im
portant extent , and the controlling banking
Inten-sls have not only discouraged the
making of Investments abroad , but also en
couraged roallr.inp , upon such assets.
This condition a.t , the European center- *
has apparently not yet reached its culmi
nation. With roppt'ct lo Hits country It h.is
lostiHod in postponement of a very Im
portant amount of - financial settlement.- ! ,
so that In one way or another there ma
tured balHiicFH owing -to the United StnUs
aggregating not less , but pos'lbly more ,
than $40.flCOOiW u stnti "of things almost un

ili'unclal history , ft hfi'a been supposed t'lat
such extraordinary conditions would soon
force their own r : itlustinents ; > bul , at
present , Ihoro Is no tnrldencc of any abate
ment of the- abnormal conditions. O.i the
contrary , our December exports c-xctrded
our Imports by $7r , COO.OOO , which , after al
lowing for other not adverse Ito.ma In UK-
exchange- ' , means an Increase in our tnr-
cign creditor account of about $60.000.000.
the settlement for which \7lll mature-
mostly .within thf next s ! > ; ty days. The fa
cility with which our torojgn debtors have
found It possible lo pstpone payment of
Iheso obligations Is producing a fictitious
ease In the foreign money markets , anJ ,
should that tcnde-ncy go a little farther , an
equalization of the raleof Inlertdt here
and abroad will neutralize Inducement
which has made homo leader * -.villlng K
Invest In these obligations. At present we
are. still buying up bills of exchange In
stead of sending tliftnv to Iho points of col-
Ico.tlon In the usual courfu , and the amount
of such bllli now held here is probubly
not less than J'JO.On.Oi.O. and It U this faot
which mainly explains wliv gld tms not
been coming he-re from Buropo In l rsre
amounts This Is a vr-ry intoroitlng situa
tion , yet not without some nithir Ecrlous--
concern for Kurope. For , should the equal
isation of the home and transatlantic
money markets stop our oonUniialion of
thc.so foreign advances , the result might
easily lw > a rtts1 ! of gold upon Now ork in
very' Important amcnnts. At the same time
the relations between Knuland and the pow.
ors agirossliig upon China are such as
dlsturb-iiu-os
may possibly produce serious
of the. foreign flnanoinl markets. The only
faclor In Ibis sensitive sltu.xllon which can
be oonsldero 1 hopeful for Kuropian finance
Is that , s-ix wocks to tivo manths honoo ,
our Imports will bo at their highest and our
exports nt t'-io lowest ; but It U a question
whether the existing extraordinary bilanco

No ono can gainsay the fact that the cast
and wc.t lines are doing sumo thinking
about the movement of grain for export
from southern Instead of from eastern ports.
Statistics prepared in Chicago last week
show the Increase in the grain shipments
from southern points , nnd again call atten
tion to the largo volume of business traffic
enjoyed by the north and south lines because -
cause of the failure of the east and west
lines to equalize the 'grain rates.

Convention of Minor * nml Operator *
Itpfuii'N ti Coiinlilrr I'orinor Vuto.
CHICAGO. Jan. 21. At today's session of
the Interstate bituminous coal operators and
miners the reconsideration of the vote which
defeated the mine run proposition last week
was taken up. After a short discussion
the roll ot titates was called nnd the proposi
tion was again defeated ayes 28 ; nays 8.
The operators of Indiana and Ohio voted
In the negative. The question of when an
advance or change ot system should bo
Inaugurated was raised by the Indiana oper
ators. They asserted that certain districts
ot Illinois nro working under a contract
until Slay 1 and were now practically holdIng -
Ing up the convention In an effort to force
the operators ot other states upcu a mlno
run basis or a strike. It they would not
recede from this position the other states
inlsht ns well leave the > convention now as
any other time. If the Illinois dele-Rates
would agree to a double standard < a settle
ment could cosily bo made.
A motion wus made by the Ohio miners
that whatever advance was granted should
take effect en January n. This led to
another lengthy discussion -between .the Ohio
and Illinois operators on the methods cm-
ployed In disposing of tholr output.
President lUatchford declared that It was
out of the question to reach u settlement
based on May 1 prices. The miners had too
often tasted the sweets of settlements on
that date. The first ot the year was the
proper time. If miners of a certain district
were under contract until May 1 that could
easily bo arranged. He again susscsted
the double standard plan to lake effect Jan
uary 1C as the best way cf satisfying 'ill
parties. As the Indiana and Ohio operators
alone bad voted against the mlno run plan
at today's session he suggested tlvt the
operators of these two states confer and endeavor -
deavor to formulaic something which could
meet their approval. The miners would
also meet with the same object In view.
This plui was approved by the convention
and a recess was taken.
At the afternoon session , which was de
layed until 4 o'clo.-k awaiting the result ot
the miners' mooting , the motion pending
that any advance granted should lake effect
January 17 , was tabled.
The operators , who had likewise been In
secret session , then ofTorud a resolution ,
passed at a conference of Ohio. Indiana and
Illinois operators , established a dnuMo
standard between Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois , 'the ' main feature of
which was a one and one-quarter Inch srroon
for the PitlsbnrK-Ohlo district on n baMn for
Iho run of mlno price , Iho differential * to
bo decided upon by the miners and operators
of each state.
President llatchford declared that the
miners wanted uniformity and that If the
operators had iiolhlng boiler lo offer It wan
time the convention came to a clone. "We
came hero , " ho concluded , "to give nothlug
awny , but to demand bctlor prices and bot-
ler conditions. " He movol the previous ques
tion , thus cutting off further debate. The
resolution was then lest , the mluor.j voting
nay. President llatchford was then rille.1
upon for Ihe report of the minors' moot Ins-
He replied that the miners simply reaffirmed
their demands for Hie mine run system.
The minors were- called upon lo offer tholr
scale. President llatchford replied by readIng -
Ing the following : "The miners demand is
for 10 cents advance on scrcone.1 and a rela
tive price for run of mine. " Ho then offered
Iho following :
Ilesolvod , That we > favor Iho mining of
scroi'iied nnd unsorpr-ned coal In all the
Holds of Ihe. oonipptltlvo districts for the
coming year , except Illinois , and Unit Iho
mining prices be ndlusttvl by this conven
tion giving all districts In the comp < -tlng
dislrlcls fair competing prices.
As Ihls resolution wza about to bo put
Operator Itobblas got the floor and remarked
that as the atmosphere seemed to be some
what cloarcr ho moved that the whole matter
bo referred back to the scale committee with
instructions to report tomorrow morning-
This motion was carried unanlmous'y. and
the convention adjourned until toxorrow
morning.

Many operatives are leaving to seek employ

were the prluc'oal other witnesses. They
roturnej to Columbus tonight wU'.i the com
mittee. The attorneys and Ihree membc.-s
of the house committee also returned.
As the evidence of Representative John
C. Otis and of Colonel Thomas C. Canyjoll
will bo very lengthy , .hoy were not tailed
here , but .Mr. OU.s will likely bo the next
witness at Columbus.
At Columbus lait week ncvcral v/ltnesics
refused to testify , because tholr attorneys
advlncd them that a senate committed lias
c.o Jurisdiction In Investigating charges made
by a member of the house. The employee
of President Schir.iillr.rp'a tank and Hen.
Harry M. Dau&tterty , chairman of the re
publican stnto central committee , today de
clined cither to be sworn or to answer quw-
lion.i , because the committee bad 110 Juris

When H. II. Hcllcnbcck wna en route from
Columbus to Cincinnati January 7 , ho r -
celvod a dispatch algned "II. D. , " and the
committee ankcd Mr. Daugherty If ho sent
thai dispatch. Mr. Daueherty declined to
answer questlccis and continued to n-rguo t\ii \

subject to call for i.-Jnlshmcnt for contemp * .
When .Manager Page cf IhoVciilern Umlcn

as January 10 , and 'jo did not know whctncr
they tad GEOT taken across the river to their

sent to Now York , or where they were.
Chalrnm-n Diirko announced Hint us aoon
as the. committee was through with all the
willing witnesses the proceedings would ut
once bo begun to lirius all of the unwilling
witnesses before the bar of the senate for
punishment fcr contempt.
Allen O. Meyers , w. , was the * flrst
witness today In the legislative briber
erInvestigation. . Ho was at the
Great Southern hotel In Columbus January
7. where Mr. Kurtz nnd olhers opposlnu

night and told of Hoyco's movements. The
ncx' day his son reached Coin mini' ) with
copies of stenographic reports of Boyco'a
talks from Clncltinoil over Iho telephone
with the Hanna headquarters In Columbus.
As the matter pertained to thu republicans
he turned all over to Kurtz and Introduced
his son to him. Kurtz told Myers tlut Hol-
lenbecW would go to Clncliincil with money.
Myers dttallod the shadowing of Hc-llen-
bcck from Columbus to Cincinnati and back ,
also the carriage drives of lioyco about Co
lumbus. The testimony of Myers caused
quite a stir , especially when ho becnrao very
angry on the crotta-oxainlnatton by Senator

Ho denied that hu was a party to any

* { IN this story Mr. Haggard makes a new demon4i *
sj ? e o I stration of his wonderful power in the field of
* { f pure romance. He once more boldly lifts the
* curtain that hides the fate of nations dead and buried * jf
i in the ages of which no record remains , except in the $
i'i silent ruins of their cities. ?
ji { * Zimboe , an inland trading city that flourished ini i
$ $ the heart of Africa 3,000 years ago , and peopled by f
7 $ the Phoenicians , is the scene of the story. To this ? J ?
? ? city comes Prir.cc Aziel , a grandson of King Solomon , * *
r * accompanied by Isaachar , a priest of Israel , and Mctem , "if
; J * a Phoenician trader , who brings a caravan of merT T
if ? chandise.
iji In Elissa , daughter of Sakon , King of Zimfcoe , i
iji the prince meets his fate. King Ithobal , lord of many ifc
{ legions of savage warriors , is already a suitor for her vj
? T hand. He sues in true barbarian fashion , seeks to "M ?
* " carry her off by force , and is foiled in the attempt by
* y Prince Aziel. The story unfolds itself around the feud
3k between the Prince of Israel and the savage King Itho- #
i'.t bal. Elissa has already given her heart to Azizl , and i'i
ift loaths the barbarian monarch. Isaachar , the priest , is i {
fe determined that no prince of the house of David shall T { ?
T { ? v/ed a heathen maiden , whose people worship Baal.
W * As a result of his intrigues , Elissa is elected the high * f
priestess of Baal. T { ?
This fixes an impassable religious gulf between i
her and A/iel. ; Their passionate love seeks to surii
RA mount all barriers. Meantime Ithobal draws his huge > &
if army of savages around the fated city , and demanding $ J ?
T& ElissH in marriage , prepares to destroy it if he is re- ? *
fused. How Elissa violates her oath as high priestess ; f
H and prepares to fly with Aziel ; how they are both dis-
i'i covered and threatened with death by the priests of J
$ p Baal ; how , to save each other , she , by her right as the a i
vjr high priestess of Baal , names him her husband , while $
Sjr he renounces his faith and offers incense to Baal ; how v
$ ? Ithobal's horde of savages storms the walls of the city ,
3 and both Aziel and Elis > a fall into his power ; and * ff
. how , at last , Aziel escapes with his life by Elissa's ? j |
l feigned submission to Ithoba' , she , in turn , escaping
Ithobal by killing hersslf , is all told in IVIr. Haggard's
ifj { : most fascinating manner. $
? Jr The awful ceremonies in the temple of Baal , the ? { ?
$ < weird rites in the sacred groves of Zimboe , and the Sfc
* jif barbarous battle scenes of that far-off time , avz "
* $ described with all the author's marvelous wealth of ! | T
