The Extra Session,

WASHINGTON, July 13.--There is nc
longer any reasonable doubt that there is
to be session OF the next congress before
the usual time OF meeting in December.
President Harrison intimated to senator
Washburne' in the plainest terms posi-,
BILE short OF an actual statement that
there would be an extra session Of con-
gress next October. When about to 90
Senator Washburne said:
"Well, goodbye, Mr.. President. You
know l am about to sail for Europe"
The president wished the senator q
good voyage, but added significantly:
"You most be sure to be back here be-
fore the middle of October"
ave are not going to have an extra
session, / hope" said the senator, inter-
negatively.
To this the president replied that there
seemed to be general opinion OF part
Of the public, as well as among the Re
publican leaders, than it was important to
organize the house at as early date as
possible. The president appeared to
intend to say more, but just at this
moment he was interrupted by the
entrance of Chief Justice Fuller and the
senator took his leave.
This conversation is given rs reported
Immediately after by Senator Washburne,
He will sail for Europe with the inten.
ton OF limiting his return in accordance
with the presidents hint, and with the
expectation Of attending an extra session
of congress. He spoke frankly and with
full understanding that the information
he was giving was for publication.

A Horrible Tragedy

Boston, July ia horrible tragedy
was enacted in Somerville, early this
morning. The victims were Mrs. Cath
erina Smith, aged 45, her son Thomas,
aged IA, and her son Augustus, aged 9.
They were murdered by John Rosenberg,
while two other OF the children of Mrs
Smith were injured, one OF whom will
die. The murderer had been living with
Mrs. Smith about year as her husband
but it was generally believed that they
were not married. 1t is supposed that a
quarrel over financial affairs was the
chief cause of the tragedy, They lived
up stairs over grocery store, which Mrs.
Smith conducted. The neighbors were
aroused about o'clock, by number of
pistol shots. The police entered the front
door, encountered the dead body Of
Thomas Smith who received his wound,
probably, up stairs, but succeeded in
reaching the lower landing before falling
He was the eldest of five children. Mrs,
Smith was found in bed. The indications
were that she was shot while asleep. All
the children slep in an artic. Willie,
aged II, and Augustus, aged 7, slept
together. The former was shot through
the body, and the wound will probably
prove fatal. Augustus was shot in the
mouth and his recovery is possible.
Charles, aged 5, is slightly wounded. He
was in bed with Mabel, a year younger.
Rosenberg fled after accomplishing his
bloody work, and was presumed for atime
to have escaped, but his dead body was
shortly afterwards found some 500 feet
from the scene. No wound could be
found and from the iroth at his mouth it
is supposed that he died either in fit or
by poison.

If the boom in Santa Fe's mines con.
tinues, and it will, Albuquerque may rea.
sonably expect to be depopulated. This
is what the Albuquerque Citizen says
"William Mcintosh, the Chilli sheep
raiser, came in this moring; w. T. Har-
wood, of this city, who has been visiting
the San Pedro country, accompanied him
in. They report rains in abundance, and
that in some places it was so heavy as to
wash away the roads and destroy the
crops. Mr.. Harwood reports Judge Oaks
as working an old abandoned mine near
San Antonio, and taking out rich gold and
silver ore. Ben Wilson and a man named
Hill, Of this city, are working on an ex-
tension of the Bullion, and have struck
good ore. He reports all claims looking
we'll and excitement over the recent strikes
at fever heat; and also says that every
inch of ground within radius Of six miles
of San Pedro has been located. n
Lou Davis will to San Pedro tonight.
His trip is for the purpose of looking up a
location for the establishment of saloon
and club rooms"

THE CHAMA PLACERS.
Rentuckisns Outfit Here and Go to Inspect
them-A Gay Lot Of Visitors.

II. Suelman, Brandenburg, Ky; R. c.
Craycraft, Mead, KY; ]. s. Moreman, r.
II. hewitt, W. T. McDonough, A. More
man, Geo. II. Casperke, j. F. Woodfolk,
A. W. Moreman, of Brandenburg, KY,
Joseph Mulhatton, of Louisville, who have
been seeing sights hereabouts since Satur-
day, left yesterday afternoon for the
Chama river, where they go toinspect ex-
tensive placer beds in which they have
purchased interests within the past year.
They outtitted here in grand style and
travel as becomes the thoroughbred
Kentuckian. They make the trip
overland with four of Lowitzki's
teams. The have with them a
colored man whom they brought along to
do the camp culinary work, but if
he keeps up yesterdays lick he will put
in most of his time mixing mint juleps.
OF course the party has some bread along
with them, but their treasury consists of
three ten-gallon casks of Kentucky sour
mash, 1t was discovered yesterday that
the supply OF liquid refreshments was
running low, SO Mullhatton wired a
friend in Louisville to forward forty gal
Ions more by fast freight. 1t is a jolly
crowd and they will have great time
while also attending to business.
These Chama river placers are located
at the camp of Messrs. o. +. Perry and
John Johnson, and it is the intention of
the Kentuckians to put in big pipe line
ot,I kn1r thz
with which to extract the gold so long
known to be imbedded in these gravel
deposits. Mr.. Perry, through whose IN
auence these capitalists have come to
New Mexico, will leave tomorrow via the
narrow gauge and will join them at camp
on Thursday. The Kentuckians expect
to expend month in thoroughly pros
pecting the ground. 1t is said they have
ample funds to make success Of anything
they undertake.

The Salt Lake Recedihg.

SALT LAKE, July l5.-The lakeis reced.
ing now at the rate OF two inches week
but there is not the faintest danger ofany
shrinkage to dryness, as there is DO evi-
dence OF the lakes having been dry fo,
5000 years. As it shrinks its density in
creases which retards the evaporation I'M
til point is reached where this process
is SO slow that the river supply, slack
though it may be, will suffice to counter
balance all loss through evaporation.

The G. A. Il. Affairs

KANSAS Cry, July 15.-Commande in
Chief Warner has issued a general circular
10 all G. A. r. posts urging the members
to attend the national encampment at
Milwaukee despite the refusal of the rail-
roads to allow cent mile rate. 1t is
the general belief at Warmers headquar-
ters here that the attendance will be quite
as large as if the dispute with the roads
had never occurred.
Chicago.-E. B. McElroy, of Salem,
Ore, commander Of the Oregon depart
ment G. A. R., who is in the city, re-
grets very much the trouble in the east
over railroad rates, which seems likely to
break up the national encampment. He
says so far as the department of Oregon
is concerned it can not observe any order
relative to non-attendance unless issued
directly by the commander in chief. If
the Wisconsin G. A. r. men have cour-
age to proceed, McElroy said then, if
need be, the Oregon department will
come on single handed and alone, to meet
with their comrades in Milwaukee.
Oregon will bring from four to six car
loads Of wines, with still other productions
for distribution, and all posts have free,
full and standing invitation to participate
and libate at the Oregon headquarters.

The Rate on Ores,

CHICAGO, July l5.-A new complication
has arisen in bullion rates. The decision
of the executive board OF the Inter State
Commerce Railway association some time
ago provided for $13 rate from Utah and
81 rate from Denver, decrease of ~ in
each rate. 1t now appears that the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Atchison do big
bullion business from Ell Paso, and they
are dissatisfied with the northern rates,
and Chairman Walker, as arbitrator OF
the association, heard the arguments to-
day from the Missouri Pacific, Atchison,
Union Pacific, Rock Island and Burling-
ton, relative to the proper basis of rates,

the Utah rate, and the last three arguing
