THE MOBBED ASSASSIN.
The Chief of Police of Mexico Confessed
That He Ordered thi Mobbing.
Special to the El Paso Herald.
City of Mexico, September 22.
Chief of Police Velasquez has confessed

a gang of twenty men, principally pol
ice, under tbe direction of Velasquez

matter. ED. herald
A Veteran Eepublican.
Oshkosh. Wis., Sep'ember 22.
Congratulations personally conveyed
and also through tbe medium of a de
luge of a telegraphic dispatches and
tetters are pouring in this morning
upon ex-Senator Philetas Sawyer. It
is the Mghty-first anniversary of the
birth of tbe most distinguished repub
lican statesman that the Badger state
has contributed to the galaxy of men
of national fme and thus, notwith
standing the fact that his life has been
marked in its early stages by pr vations
and later by many decades of arduous
work in the interest of his country, he
bas passed by eleven years the span of
life allotted a man by the prophet.
There is something of a paral'el be
tween Philetas Sawyer and Gladstone,
for tbe one a statesman or the Old
World and the other a statesman of
the new still maintain an active inter
est in the affairs of their respective
countries, but the parallel ceases
in tbe fact that whila Gladstone
is today little more than a
reminiscence to the great liberal party
over which he once weilded
authority, the grip of Philetas Sawyer
upon the republican pontics of the
Badger state is as firm and tena
cious as it was more than a quarter of
a century ago when the Hoards, Lifol
letes, am other leaders ot the vou De-
republicans of Wisconsin were but
emerging from their swaddling clothes.
Perhaps one of the greatest triumphs
of bis life was achieved at the repub
lican state convention held in Mil
waukee in June of last year for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
St Louis national convention. Forty
eight hours before the arrival of the
first of tbe delegates on the field the
most intimate friends of the eight-year
ud politician confessed that be would
be defeated as delegate-at-lare and
thus retired from public life, but so
potent was the personality of the old
veteran who in the meantime bad met
and greeted every delegate to tbe
gathering that when the convent'on
met bis name was the first BubmitUd
and his selection was indorsed by ac
clamation. Tbe former, senator has
several times declared that he is 1 o
longer a candidate for public office, but
there are many who believe that be
fore the close of bis active life he will
again be seen and beard upon tbe
floor of tbe United States senate.

MR. HAWKINS GITS THAR.
He Puts up the Stuff at this Afternoon's
Council Meeting.
The city council met this afternoon
for further consideration of the White
Oaks railway franchise matter. There
were also from sixty to seventy five
citizens present, including representa
tives of the opposing railway parties.
While waiting for Alderman Brunner,
the mayor said Consul Mallen had
asked leave to discharge fireworks on
the government plaza this evening.
Petition granted. The mayor then said
he thought the special matter in ques
tion had better be laid over until after
tbe October railroad meeting. W. II.
Surges then asked again for a fran
chise and on what terms tbe franchise
would be granted to tbe El Paso and
White Oaks railroad; what the for
feit would be, where the road could
be laid, etc. It was only justice to
give the answer requested and not un
necessarily delay petitioners. Mr.
Hawkins said this was what he expect
ed. His correspondents had stated
it at if the council would not grant
other franchises which would interfere
with them, that they would put up $10,-
000 guarantee to begin work in 60 days
nd complete the same in due time.
Mr. Hawkins said we stand where we
did Monday, except that we do not ask
for delay. We know where we want
our franchise, and if this council has
faith in us and will not grant franchises
to beat our heads with, we
ire ready now to put up a
deposit as guarantee of gocd faith.
I think there sbou a be an expression
by you as to whether parties here have
convinced you of their good faith
and ability. Our position is not an
attack on your respected citizens. We
do not ask for a menopo'ys. only an
indication that you will not pass such
legislation as will embarrass us.
Mr. Burges said some counciimen
thought $ 0,000 the proper guarantee
ind others $25,000. As for the T. &
P., the line interesting them could be
expunged from the proposed fran
chise. But could we nave responded
Monday to your proposition? All we
18k is to tell us on what terms you are
willing to give the franchise. We are
willing to co-operate with tne city ior
its benefits, but we will not agree on
such action that will forever preclude
as from asking for a franchise. We
vre not objecting to the $10,000 Item,
only tell us what your terms are; one
thing on tbe other. We will deal
with you fairly. If we can not
comply with its terms, we will get out
ot the way.
Mr. Hawkins said the $10,000 is
here aid we have it at the present
time. (Applause). Tru, there was no
formal resolution Monday as to the
amount to be put up, but the opinion
was tbat $10,000 was little enougn.
You have the opportunity to close this
matter. If it wrong to adjourn Monday
lest you should lose the opportunity it
is the same today, w e are nere to
-leal with you as a body of men ready
10 do tbe best you can.
"What is your proposition, Mr. Haw
kins?" called Mr. Burges.
Mr. Hawkins replied: "Our proposi
tion is to build a White Oaks . road in
the shortest time possible if the city
will show us tbat it will deal with us so
tbat we will not be interfered with."
Alderman Burton said let us not
wait longer, as it is evident we are to
have a railroad to White Oaks. (Ap
plause). Judge Coldwell said he was
ready to act tonight if it was only
shown what was wanted of tbe council;
and as far as be was concerned he did
not feel like granting two franchises.
(Applause.) The motion to adjourn
this matter till after tne uctooer
meeting was reconsidered unanimous
ly. After Eoma sparring between
Messrs. Hawkins and Burges, the lat
ter held Mr. Hawkins' people had no
corporate existence, bad no company,
only a little tin horn outfit on the hill
that lied for want of 310.000. Let him
state his proposition and come to time;
don't knock us down, to please whom f
Landsharps, greengoods men or whom
Name your proposition and let us
know wno you are open your bay!
(Applause.)
J udge Uoid well then moved it be tne
sense of the city council not to grant
more than one franchise for a road to
White Oaks until the first is built.
(Applause) Carried unanimously.
Mr. Hawkins then offered amid ap
plause, bis proposition for a franchise
for a road to White Oaks, offering to
deposit $10,000 as guarantee to build
tbe road, to commence within 90 days
in the city limits and in 9 months to
reach the New Mexico line. The clos
est attention was paid to the reading.
A. Eddy for C. B. Eddy signed the
petition. Here the council took a re
cess of ten minutes to consider the mat
ter.
After the recess in which the alder
men were shown over the route on pa
per, to be followed by Mr. Eddy's road,
the council adjourned to meet to
morrow at 10 a. m. to consider the
bill for the franchise ordinance
offered by Mr. Hawkins. In the mean
time $10,000 in cash was put up by Mr.
Hawkins as guarantee 01 good faith on
tbe part of Mr. Eddy.
