TACOMA. Washington. Jan. 23 The

the Alaskan blizzard continues. Many
persons have been frozen to death and
regular patrols have been organized to
save the lives of persons overcome by
the cold.
The bodies of two persons were
found in the streets of Douglass City.
The terrible cold causes dogs at Daw

scouring the streets with guns to kill
them.
Three hundred travelers are storm

MINISTER CONGER
Administration Displeased With His
Despite Minister Conger's valuable services in China, it is feared that his
recall is inevitable, owing to the grave mistake he made in the conduct of the
negotiations on the protocol, when he accepted a British proposition that
placed America in a false position. More serious than this ingle slip is the
fact that Mr. Conger has frequetly not acceded lo thea dministration's wishes
without protest. As neither the president nor Secretary Hay will brook an
tagonism by the representatives of the government abroad it is predicted that
Mr. Conger will soon see his native land again.

MINERAL TRUST
Will Increase the Capac
ity of El Paso Works
and Operate
Here.
Yesterday's dispatches announced the
closing of the deal which has been
pending for some time between the
Guggenheims and the American
Smelting and Refining company and
the formation of the greatest smelting
and miueral trust in the world.
This consolidation, while it may not
prove profitable to every section, will
undoubtedly be a great thing for El
Paso, if the maneuvers of the officials
of the two companies sustain their sig
nificance. C. E. Finney, of New York, general
manager of the Guggenheim interests,
and H. R. Simpson, of Kansas City,
general manager of the Kansas City
Smelting and Refining company's
plants, spent last week in El Paso in
specting the property of the consoli
dated company here. They have just
left for Colorado where they will ex
amine all the property of the company
In the Rocky mountains.
Neither of the officials were clear in
explaining their business in El Paso
but it is thought by those who are
most interested that they were here
to examine the grounds of the El Paso
plant with the view of ordering ma
terial changes. Situated as it is in the
very heart of the richest mining coun
try in the world as well as the largest,
having all railroad accommodations
and being the center of the territory
controlled by the trust, the El Paso
plant, it is believed, will be made the
most Important plant operated by the
company. Already the El Paso plant
is about the second largest in the world
and with the Interests of the two com
panies consolidated the opinion pre
vails that El Paso will become the cen
ter and operating headquarters of the
trust.
Before the consolidation the Guggen
heims shipped an average of fifty cars
of ore per week through El Paso from
their Mexico mines to other plants of
the company. Since the recent deal
all this ore is to be treated in El Paso
as well as the many cars that have
been going from northern Mexico to
the Guggenheim plants at Aguascalien-

DIED FROM DRINK
A MEXICAN TAILOR SLEEPS
OFF HIS GOOD TIME.
He Awakes in Another World, and Un
luckily is not in a Condition to Tell
About What He Sees There.
Death came to Mandonio Esparzo
while he ' slept last night. He fell
asleep in this world and awakened in
the next.
Esparzo was a tailor by trade and
was a man or unusually large propor
tions and ample girth. He weighed
fully 300 pounds and was a jnan who
loved his grog and worshiped at the
shrine of Epicure. It is said that he
had been on a spree since he carnival
and that death resulted from defective
heart action due to excessive drink. At
any rate he was found dead in his
room at 212 Fifth street at eight
o'clock this morning. He had retired
at his usual hour, but failed to get up
this morning as had been his custom.
Other occupants of the adobe dwelling
knocked on his door, but receiving no
response entered and found Esparzo
lying upon his bed as if asleep. They
were unable to awaken him and the
physician who was called pronounced
him lifeless and said that in all prob
ability death had resulted several hours
before,- soon after midnight.
Justice Spencer was summoned at
9 o'clock and held the inquest to dis
cover probable cause of death. After
a thorough investigation he said death
was due to heart failure or apoplexy,
probably due to the excessive ute of
stimulants, which would naturally tend
to suffocate a man of extreme weight
whose heart action might be inter
fered with by fatty matter surrounding
it.
Esparzo was removed to the under
takers, but after his measurement was
taken it was discovered that there was
not a coffin in the house large
enough to contain the remains and the
attendants had to construct alpine box
sufficiently broad to hold the body.
THE DELEGATION FOR THE
AUSTIN CONVENTION.
It Is to Be Regretted That More Bus
iness Men Cannot Arrange to Go.
Secretary Russell, E. M. Bray, and
W. H. Tuttle of the chamber of com
merce at the state convention of com
mercial clubs, which meets there on
the 25th.
Mr. Russell has endeavored to get
several others to go with the delega
tion from here but none have agreed to
go on account of their pressing busi
ness engagements.
This convention was called to form
an association at the suggestion of
Secretary Russell of the El Paso cham
ber and El Paso should have a good
representation as it is fathered by the
organization in this city. El Paso Is
attracting the notice of the entire coun
try just now and a big delegation to
this meeting means more than the cas
ual observer would imagine. All El
Paso schemes should be heartily sup
ported by El Paso people for from all
this advertising good, results are sure
to come.

THE DUKE
HAS GONE
cl Paso Society Neglected
A Good Oppo tunity
Yesterday.
A GOOD FELLOW
Who Likes To Meet Ameri
cans, and the Whole
Party Made Many
Friends.
The Duke of Manchester is one of
the most prominent dukes of England.
He is decidedly the most popular in
America, where he has spent 'a great
deal of his time since his childhood.
He is more of an American than an '
Englishman, and is a clever, every-day
boy. Many criticisms have been heaped
upon -him for his recklessness, but
those who know him better understand
that while he has been extravagant and
wayward, his position as heir to a seati
in parliament and a great estate has
led him to think lightly of money, .
which trait has many times embarrass
ed him with his friends.
Manchester is one of the most pleas
ant English nobleman who ever visit
ed this country, and is entirely clear of
vanity and bigotry. This has made
him popular in the United States and
offsets many of his short comings.
Manchester likes to meet the society
of the towns he visits, not that honor'
might be done him. but that he might
pass the time more pleasantly. He is
probably affected less by the possession
of title than any other English noble
man, and his bold and plain ways have
always made him popular with the op
posite sex in the eastern cities. He Is
a man of sentiment and not a cold
cinder like some of his fellow coun
trymen. He selects as his companions
men and women who are natural in
disposition, and while here yesterday

made no one who met him feel awk
ward or embarrassed.
"I have always been fond of the so
ciety of Americans," he said to a Her
ald reporter last night, "for Americans
are usually just what they seem to be.
I have spent most of my time in the
United States because I enjoy the so
ciety of Americans and 1 like their
natural and simple ways."
Manchester now possesses his title
and position in parliament if full and
of course will spend more of his time
in England. Having married an Amer
1- v&:? 'iff'
ican girl with millions of money will
naturally make him more fond of
America but his position will keep
him at home more in the future.
Lord Lambert, who is traveling with
Manchester, is another of the same
type of men. He "does as Rome does"
and he is making many friends in
the United States. He has not yet ac
quired his full title, estate, and posi
tion in parliament but has a fortune at
his disposal through the kindness of
his uncle, the old Lord Lambert. "The
