LARKIN READS SORROW.
Sudden Death this Morning OF Most
Estimable Lady.

Mrs Larkin G. Read died at 6 O'Clock
this morning. Three hours previous tc
her death son was born, and never did
a little stranger bring more happiness to
household. But joy was turned into
sorrow almost in the twinkling OF an eye.
The brave little woman's condition be-
came suddenly critical. The best of med
lcal attention was given her and every
care taken for her welfare and comfort,
but all in vain, and in less than three
hours after her eyes had rested upon the
face OF her new born babe the mother
was called to the grest beyond.
The child is to all appearances a hardy
little fellow and is doing we'll.
Mrs. Read was in the 34th year OF her
age. She was the daughter of Hon. San
tiagO Valdez, OF Taos county, and was a
good Christian woman, much esteemed
by large circle OF friends in Santa Fe
and Taos counties and throughout the
territory. Universal sympathy is ex-
pressed for the sorrowing family.
Her death renders motherless Il little
boy OF 10 years, girl of years and the
child of to-day. The funeral will take
place from the cathedral at S o'clock to-
morrow morning. Those who have been
selected to serve as pail bearers are as
follows: Jose Segura, Luciano Baca,
Vicente Mares, Teohlo Martinez, Atanacio
Romero, Aniceto Abeytia.

Uplanus tho Best.

There was pretty general freeze and @
heavy frost tho latter part Of last week
throughout the Animas and San Juan val
leys, though there was less actual damage
done than was at first supposed. A few
reports come in of fruit having been in
ured and some corn and potatoes were
nipped back. 1t is noticeable fact that
only on the bottoms near the rivers any
thing was injured, further back on the
mesas everything vas safe. One would
infer from this that the bottoms are not
the place to put out either orchards or
vineyards In fact it is the universal rule
that hill sides and land up from river bot
toms is best adapted for fruit. Hitherto
people in this country have been com.
PEELED to put their fruit in the bottom, as
their bitches covered no land except near
the steams from whichr they were taken.
But now bitches have been taken out that
cover some mesa land, and in view of the
fact that fruit does much better and is not
so liable to get caught by late frost on
these mesas, the elevated lands promise
in future 70 be much more sought after
than heretofore.

NOBLE SQUELCHED EN-.
Effete Easterners Who arc Trying to
Reclaim the Noble Red Man,

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The National
Indian Defense association, composed of
philanthropists with considerable time to
spare, who believe the red man is in con-
slant danger Of being robbed by the GOV
ernment, has had an unsatisfactory tilt
with Secretary Noble. The association
makes speciality of the Sioux, and claims
a good deal of credit for the failure of the
negotiations for the purchase of lands last
year. Representatives of the association
are now trying to have part in the pend
ing negotiations. Alexander Kent. II. r.
Moulton and T. A. Bland, of the associa-
ton, called upon the secretary and pre-
sented aformalinquiry as to the intentions
Of the government.
Gen. Noble listened patiently until the
formal inquiry was fully before him. and
then quietly squelched the philanthropists
by saying:
"If you gentlemen control those In.
dians' actions the Sioux commission
should have been created to treat with
you instead Of with the Indians. The
United States has selected honorable
men for its Sioux commission. Our GOV
ernment intends to deal Justly with The
Sioux; and, since think l now under

government, have to say to you all fur

CONFIDENTIAL CHAT.
What the Official Program is Likely to be
An Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-A congressman
who is in as close relation with the presi-
dent as any congressman, and who has
recently had repeated interviews with
him, gives this opinion as to the course
OF appointments during the fiscal year.
ut is my judgment that most of the
discomfort relative to appointments,
which exists on the part of a good many
congressman, will disappear with the be-
ginning of the new fiscal year. Most of
the leading places have already been con-
sidered and the decision as to the greater
part OF them, am convinced, substan-
TALLY reached. There will be a pretty
general Jail delivery OF the Democratic in
cumbents by July l. You can see in
talks with all of the members of the ad-
ministration that there is some sort of
concurrent plan as to the fiscal year as
terminal point for old and an initial point
for the new order of things. Whenever
you call up any Office, the first considera-
ton is wherever you 60. What is the
date of the commission Books are taken
down and an inquiry made to ascertain
when the incumbent of the Office that you
are talking about was appointed. If the
date OF the commission is anywhere near
the fiscal year, if it runs into August or
September, have been led to under
stand that designations will be asked for,
ii they shall not already be on hand.
Everything is substantially stated already
and the last day of June will be the gem
eral clearing house day."
"And what about the talk of an extra
session."
Il have not been inclined to think that
there would be an October session, but
am now convinced that the president has
almost determined to call congress to-
gether in October. 1t is fact that in
fluential members Of his party have ad-
vised the president to adopt such policy.
The date that l have heard fixed is the
third Monday in October. BY that time
it would be possible for the members from
the most distant states to arrive here after
the October election in the new states"
And what reasons are assigned in adj
ministraton circles for convening congress
so much in advance of the usual time?"
"The reasons given are these: The
president and his advisers think that it is
important to gain time before the holi-
days in order that the policy that may be
presented as to the tariff and other mat
ters may be carried out. At the present
the policy of the administration is a
change Of the rules of the house of rep
resentatives. These changes are in the
direction OF giving the majority the con-
troll of legislation, and of taking from the
minority the power which the present
rules give even to a very small faction to
absolutely control the business of con-
gress. The changes which have been
suggested do not exceed five in number,
and the general object might be accom-
plished with fewer changes.

Texas Wants Settlers.

Fort WORTH, May 2S.-Statistics fur
nished by Land Commissioner Hall to-
day show that there are 100000 acres
of public domain located in sixty-one
counties in Texas subject to entry as
homesteads, in tracts of eighty and 100
acres. Texas offers free homes out Of
some OF its finest domain to 10000 fami-
lies or 60,000 single men. Under the laws
OF Texas the head Of family is entitled
to select 100 acres, or an unmarried man
OF IS years of age or upward, eighty acres
out OF the unappropriated public domain,
as home, without other cost than the
surveyors and patent fees. The state
ment from Commissioner Hall shows an
excess OF 100000 acres of land subject
to homestead rights over the amount that
has heretofore been reported

Big Land Decision.

Los ANGELES, May 29.--In the United
States circuit court District Judge Ross
decided in favor of plaintiff in suit
brought by the government against the
Southern Pacific railroad to annul patents
issued to that company for land in Los
Angeles county. This particular case de-
cided 1900 acres of land involved, but the
ruling Of the court effects the title to over
800, 900 acres within twenty miles, or the
primary limits of the grants to the South
ern Pacific. The court holds that these
lands within the claimed limits OF the
Mexican grant Rancho San Jose, were
subsidized when the railroad grant was at
tached, and the government patents,
therefore, to all railroad companies should
be vacated. The court further holds that
all lands embraced in the suit were cov-
cred by prior grant to the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad.

THE CRONIN AFFAIR.
A Reported COnfession-More Sensation
al Irish News.

CHICAGO, May 29--The Times in a late
edition prints the statement that p. O.
Sullivan has made a full confession and
every one he knew implicated in the
murder Of Cronin. Sullivan was neatly
trapped. Day after day he has been
subjected to the questioningof of the officers.
Day after day he lied. The police pumped
and he contradicted himself frequently.
Then they gave him enough truth to show
that they knew more than he thought
they did. Next day Sullivan changed his
tune and more contradiction followed.
This lying continued until yesterday, then
he decided to tell the truth In the
presence Of Mayor Boldenwick, of Lake
View, and the police officers Sullivan re-
vealed the whole plot and the names of
all those connected with the great crime.
Mayor BoldenWick was seen this morning
by reporter and was asked for con-
firmation of the above statement. The
mayor declared that it was not true, but
nevertheless much credence is given to
the story as the authorities have not
scrupled heretofore to deny actual facts
for fear the case might be prejudiced.
The Daily News has the following 4:
Detective Robert Bruce, who has been
conducting private agency in this city,
walked into Lieut.. Elliotts office yester-
day and said that several months ago
Alderman Mccormick offered him 81 900
to kill DR.. Cronin. Bruce, who has just
returned from three months stay in
Texas, says Mccormick paid him 500 in
advance and agreed to pay the remainder
when the job was done. Bruce declares
Mccormick told him to feign sickness in
his office, and then send for DR.. Cronin
and kill him. Bruce says he took the
500 and spent it for liquor, and never
made move toward carrying out the con-
tract. Bruce bears a rather unsavory
character and the police do not place all
the reliance in the world in his story. He
has been in numerous scrapes in this city.

Thu failure OF Vandermark Bros,

Vandermark Bros worked hard for

platform and said:
"UnlRss Harrison is elected our firm
cannot keep running. A Democratic
administration would ruin us"
The failure now Of the firm, which
six months ago was in prosperous

The Nevada people seem to have
some just ground for complaint
against the Senatorial Irrigation COM
mittee for holding only ono short ses-
zion in that State and taking none
but documentary testimony. Some of
the bitterest complaints, however,
arose from the misunderstanding that
Congress had in some way pledged
itself to build reservoirs when all that
it did do, was to undertake to point
out available sites on Government
lands, for storage reservoirs.-[ Butch
ers' Gazette.
Will some one please locate some
"aVailahle site on Government lands
for storage reservoirs" that the COM
mittee pointed out as they passed
through Nevada at the rate of forty
miles an hour? The committee may
have accomplished something in the
way OF irrigating arid throats, but
what did they learn of arid lands and
available sites for storage reservoirs
In Nevada during their brief stop at
Carson? They never visited q single
locality to ascertain if water storage
Is practicable.
