0TER0 FULLY VINDICATED
Xetr Mexico' (Jotcrnor ltcitiolnted
After the l-'ullcnt Iim ckIIrii
tlon of Chiirftcn.
WASHINGTON. June 16.-Mlgucl A. Otero
was appointed governor of New Mexico
yesterday. The term of tho governor ex
pired Juna 7, but the appointment was held
up at the request of parties In the terri
tory Communications were received at
the Interior department several weeks ago
protesting against the reappointment of
Mr. Otero. Various allegations were made
relative to 1:1s management of territorial
affairs. The secretary of the Interior, Mr.
Hitchcock, took up these communications
and had each one cnrctully Investigated.
Mr. Otero answered euch, and the special
agents of tho department made reports on
them. The result was the complete vin
dication of the present governor, and, as he
had the harking of tho territorial organi
zation in the party, Mr. Hitchcock recom
, ended his reappointment.
Last night Mr. Otero received moro than
seventy-five telcgraniR of congratulations
at hl3 appointment. He left for the terri
tory and will arrive some time Wednes
day. n. S. Rodey, delegate-elect from tho ter
ritory, has been here with Governor Otero
urging his reappointment.
"While the appointment of governor Is
for n four yearn" term," says Mr. Rodey,
"It Is not expected that the officers re
cently selected will fill their terms. Now
Mexico 1h making the effort of her llfo to
be admitted as a state, nnd the fight Is to
be brought to a close If possible In the
Fifty-seventh congress, I havo been elected
for the purpose almost solely of further
ing thin proposition, and my majority In
tho election wan the largest over cast for a
delegate from that torrltory, not excluding
Senator Elklns of West Virginia, who came
to congress several times an tho representa
tive of New Mexico In tho latter '60s and
early '70s.
'Whcn California came Into tho union
New Mexico organized n state government,
adopted a constitution and elected two
senators and one representative nnd sent
them to Washington, expecting to get In
at that time, and, although we had n popu
lation then of more than 60.000, wo failed
to bo admitted. The claims of New Mexico
for stntehood have since been Investigated
by no less than eight congresses, and bills
havo been favorably reported for that pur
poso In one house or the other six times.
"Now our population Is hown by the
census to bo 200,000, but we claim at least
fiO.OOO more. Our territorial area Is larger
than the whole of New England nnd N'ew
York combined. We have moro newspapers
per capita than any other state; wo spend
more for education per capita than any
other state; wo also have more churches
per capita than any other state. Wo havo
twice tho population of Wyoming; about
six times that of Nevada, marc than Idaho
Hnd Delaware, and 10,000 more than North
Dakota."

SANTA FE. N. M June 16. Santa Fc In

Flags are out, bonfires are burning and the

held at tho office of tho New Mexican news
paper to make preparations for a reception
to Governor Otero n,ud his .Inauguration
next week; Except to ' n few .disap
pointed politicians the reappointment of

Now that it Is settled a strong fight will
be made for statehood. In which event
Otero will be sent to the senate. A strong

Dowlo announced at his meeting in Zlon
tabernacle today that physicians of this
city had formed a plot to kidnap him,
lock him In a detention hospital and beat
him on tho head nnd back until he should
loao all his rcaconlng powers and become,
really insane,
He said that the kidnaping might take
place tonight and after his services ho
called a special private meeting of the
main members of Zlon tn take steps to
help the Zlon, guard In protecting him. Ho
also made threats against the physicians
that ho would do to -them as he thought
they wero trying to do to him, unless they
shall let him alone and stop calling him a
paranoiac.
With nil this, Dowic repeated continually
his pretensions to be Elijah reincarnated,
making way for tho end of the world, and
ho Incidentally laid claim to Immortality
until such tlmo as hln work was accom
plished. "I have Bpcclal Information," shouted
tho general overseer to his followers, "thnt
a law has Just been Juggled with special
reference to me. These doctors have fixed
It so that an insanity complaint does not
have to come from a relative now, but may
come from any man who sayn ho acts In

"Do you know what this means? It
comes from the same men who are calling
mn a paranoiac. It means that they nro
going to kidnap me. They will try to get
mo some night. They will carry me to a
hospital and bind mo hand and foot. Then
they will beat me nnd torture me until they
make mo Insane. That's what they will
do, tho fiends nnd scoundrels! I say to
Zlon, 'On guard!' I want every member
of Zlon, and every male member especially,
to remain after this service and plan with

WASHINGTON. Juno 16. A comprehen
sive resumn of the commerce of the United
States with Russia and with Sweden during
last year Is contained in the latest extract
from tho work entitled, "The Commercial
Relations of the United States for 1D0O,"
to bo made public by Mr. Frederick Emory,
chief of the bureau of foreign commerce of
the State department. Mr. Emory has
adopted the plan of making public tho
valuable Information to be contained In the
volumo in short chapters, which are given
to the press at Intervals. - "
.Consul Heenan of Odessa says that an
Interesting featuro of tho trade with Rus
sia In 1900 was the demand for American
agricultural machinery, such as harvesters,
binders, reapers, mowers, horse rakes, etc.,
In sections of the country whero these
machines had previously been but little
used. This wan notahly the caso In Poind.
The reason given was tho scarcity of labor,
owing to the heavy emigration from that
district during late years. Tho Introduction
of horse lower threshers by an enterpris
ing Araerlcnn probably Is the advance
guard of an enormous trade in these ma
chines. Consul General Wlnslow of Stockholm
urge? American exporters not to overlook
the opoprtunltles for trade In Sweden. Tho
Swedes, ho says, are tho Yankees of
Europe nnd if their commercial friend
ship is cultivated, our merchants will find
there Is a growing market for their sup
plies. The consul general notes that tho thirty
American locomotives that have been put
on tho State railways are meeting with
great praise, and that the new engines
tinder construction in the kingdom are pat
terned after them. More orders probably
will be placed In tho Untied 8tates.

LEAVENWORTIL Kan., June 16. Con
siderable excitement has been caused by
what appears to be a schomc of tho negroo3
of Leavenworth to arm themselves with re
volvers purchased from soldiers at Fort
Leavenworth. Ever nlnco thn burning of
Fred Alexander tho negroes of Leavenworth
havo been In an ugly mood and conservative
men say that tho race feeling ntlrred up
at that time may break out any time. The
police are doing everything possible to kill
this feeling and are assisting tho officers
nt Fort Leavenworth to recover tho re
volvers. It seems that the negroes hnd circulated
tho report among tho soldiers nt the fort
that they would buy up all tho govern
ment revolvers offered, and several of the
soldiers took the opportunity of disposing
of tho government's goods. Lieutenant F.
L. Dcen of Troop K finally set n trap for
tho negroes. Instructing certain privntrn to
offer their weapons for sale. Three negroes
who bought them were arrested and aro
being held.

MANILA, Mny !). (Correspondence of tho
Associated PrcBs.) The chief of the For
estry bureau of tho Philippines, Captain
Ahearn, has Just Issued a circular which
Is applicable to those who nro considering
business ventures other thnn lumbering In
tho nrchlpolago. The United States attor
ney general, It should be borne In mind,
has construed that tho Inhibitions on tho
amendments to tho Spoonor act do not
apply to timber nutting on government
lands. In brief, the circular Is as follows:
Tlmlici- l.nml In Immune.
"At present thero are no laws by which
timber lands can bo purchased. Thero H
somo timber land held by private parties,
but It is very limited In oxtent and uh u
rulo is not on tbo market. The custom
for lumbermen in theso Islands Is to , .ply
for a licenso, granted free of charge, uud
is for a form of ono year and can ln re
newed. As a rule applicants can obtain as
large a tract as they can conveniently ex
ploit. Thero nro many largo forest dis
tricts whero no licenses havo been ap
plied for and which could be profitably
handled If labor could be obtained.
"Tho felled timber Is measured and np
prnlsed nn it leavos tho forest by a for
estry official. Tho valuation of stato tim
ber Is mado by tho cubio foot. Tho tlmbor
Is divided Into six groups and valued ns
follows: Superior group, 14 cents (Mexi
can) per cubic foot; first group, 10 ronts
(Mexican) per cubic foot: necond group, 8
cents (Mexican) per cubic font; third
group, 3 cents (Moxlcan) per cubic foot;
fourth group, 2 cents (Mexican) per cublo
foot; fifth group, 1 cent (Mexican) per cubic
foot.
-Men Are the Grcnlent Need.
"It would bo wlso to look over tho
ground vory rnrefully beforo Investing In
tho timber of theso Islnnds. Thero Is n
vast market here In tho Orient, which will
readily tako ovnry log brought to tlde
wator. Much valunhlo tlmhcr Is hero nnd
a high piico Is pnid for tho samo In this
markot. Tho great nnd almost insuperab)o
obstacle is thn lack of labor. And when
labor Is socured, much tact Is required to
retain it for any length of tlmo.
"Much of thn valuable timber Is Inao
ccss'blo at present, duo to tho lack of
roads, in tlmo roads will bo constructed
nnd river driveways Improved. Portable
nnrrow gauge railroads will bo found leas
Ible In many places. The great majority
of tho native timber will not float, but
bamboo rafts aro oftan used. Tho bamboo
finds n ready salo In all tho markets.
Thero nro 665 nntlvo tree species now
known, Including eleven bpccles of oak,
true ebony, somn teak, camagon, nn
nhundnnce of uarra (Philippine ma
hogany) tlndalo, cantales (Philippine
cedar) nnd other woods suitable for
veneering nnd finest cabinet work. Thero
are moro than fifty npeclc3 of valunhlo
gum trees, from which aro extracted rub
bor, gutta percha nnd ether gums.
"Npxt tn labor, transportation Is dim
cult to secure, ns tho supply of stenmers
and Inunches Is limited; In the Interior
freight rntcn nro high and nt times cost
more than tho prlco of timber at tide
water, "In vlow of early pence and a resumption
of building In tho provinces tho demand
for tlmbor and transportation will Incrcaoo
very materially this year and next,"
Captain Ahearn Is about to leave for the
United States nnd will exhibit snmplea of
Philippines Moods hoforo tho furniture
associations at Grand Rapids nnd else
where. The very great variety of rare anil
beautiful woods will doubtless mirprlso
them nnd mny create an American domnnd
for Phlllpplno timber.
