HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST
Over One Hundred Lives Lost
 in the Flames.
AN INSANE ASYLUM BURNED
The Crowded Lunatic Asylum at Lounge Pointe, Ontario, Burns with Most Fatal RcsuIts-A Wild Scene
 Among the Maniacs.

MONTREAL, Quebec, May Tho insane asylum at Lounge Pointc, nine miles from here caught fire at half past Il o'clock yes terday morning and at 8 o'clock was mass of flames with no hope of saving tho build ing from utter destruction. As near as can be calculated at this hour. there were from one hundred to one hundred and fifty in- sane inmates in the burning building. with no chance of their escape The fire ap- paratus at the asylum was utterly in adequate 10 control the flames and several steamers were forwarded from here on special train. The sights and tho grounds surrounding the institution are horrible
 Hundreds of lnnatics male and female, arc grouped together, gibbcring and in a frenzied condition. The nuns are making every effort to control them and allay their fears, and as rapidly as possible the poor creatures are being removed to places of shelter in the neighborhood
 The excitement among tho lunatcs in the grounds finally became so great that a de- tachment of the Montreal police force was hurried out to assist the guards. There were 1 300 persons in the asylum when tho fire broke out.
 I'll. VICTIMS.
 It is certainly known that at least 125 of the unfortunate patients pcrished in the flames. The scenes during the fro were heartrending. The ngonized patients fought and screamed as the flames walled them in. Some jumped from windows aud others from the roof. The building, which cost si, GOO, 900, is complete wreck. It is insured in English companies. Tho fremen succeeded in rescuing sev- sral persons, in many instances at the risk of their own lives. Thousands of persons are Hooking to the scene from the city and surrounding country. The nuns, doctors and other attendants aro besiegcsi with anx- ious inquiries after friends or relatives. One of the doctors connected with the institution was seen this afternoon and he said that there was very little commotion among the inmates when the alarm was given and that for the most part all walked out quietly, some, however, refused to leave their cells md had to be taken out by force. Those who perished were In tho wards on tho top floors Efforts to learn eeeif names nave so lar proved tutale as those rescued arc so scattered that no rob ran he called All tho books and records were saved

THE SILVER VICTORY,

That was agrand victory that the friends
of the white metal scored in the U. S.
senate day before yesterday. That silver
shall be legal tender in payment Of all
debts, public and private, was settled by
the handsome majority of IA to so. That
silver is not commodity and can not lie
bought as such by the government in the
shape OF bullion was determined by a vote
OF 7 to SO. 1t was quite as emphatically
determined that free coinage would come
along in its own good time, or when its
market price becomes 81 for 37l]4 grains /;
| also that there should be no limitation of
the act providing these blessings to the
western farmer and miner. This settles
the fate of silver, the senate having taken
a stand from which it will never recede,
no matter what the house does to bring
about change. A conference will follow
the final passage of the measure in the
senate, but there is little prospect of any
serious conflict between the senate and
house conferees. Now let New Mexico
silver miners 60 to work, for there will be
safe and steady market for every ounce
of the white metal the mines Of the Unit
ed States can produce. Truly with silver
safe, lead protected and the wool tariff
standing as it is, New Mexico has need
of feeling kindly toward the present Re-
publican congress.

THERE now seems to he no doubt but
that Jay Gould's recent visit to the City
OF Mexico was with view to laying the
foundation for securing mammoth rail-
road subsidy from the Mexican govern
ment for a new line, which it ls proposed
to build from Chicago to chihuahua. 1t
is claimed that syndicate has been
formed to carry out the enterprise, and
that surveys are now in progress. The
route is as direct as possible from Chi
huahua to Preside del Norte, where it
will cross the Rio Grsnde and pass
through Buchie, Brewster, Pecos AID
Tom Green counties, Texas, toward Fort
Worth, thence taking the most direct
line for Chicsgo. 1t is understood that
this is to be the beginning Of tbs great
north and south road that is to bring the
South American republics into closer re-
lations with the United States.

The Chieitain Publishing company, of
Socorro, has filed its articles of incorpor-
alton. The incorporators are J. A. Whit
more, Charles Leicham and w. s. Will
liams, The capital stock is put at $4,000.
The New MEXICAN extends the right hand
of fellowship to the new company, and
bespeaks for it the support and favor of
the citizens OF Socorro and of Socorro
county. The incorporators are well
known and amply able financially, intel
lectually, politically and every other way
to make first class paper Of the Chief
tain. The past few numbers OF the Chief
tain give promise that they will publish
that kind of paper, A live, well sup.
ported paper will do Socorro more good
than anything else that could be done for
the community. Our advice to that town
and county is, help the Chieftsin and yor
will help yourselves.

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $4,000 per
annum. During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number OF prisoners, were 500, 900.
It is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest,

A PROMINENT attorney of this city in
forms the New MEXICAN that the charges
of the Wells Fargo Express company
upon lot of law books recently sent by
him, were just double what they would
have been had the books been shipped
over the United States and Denver and
Rio Grande Express lines. The extor-
ton practiced by the Wells Fargo must
cease, and will cease as soon as the next
legislative assembly convenes. It is only
q question of a few months. In the
mean time, the Wells Fargo will do well
to look after its management in this
territory, which is not at all what it
should be, and with which the people are
greatly dissatisfied. A change for the
better could be made, and the interests
OF the people and Of the company would
be subserved by such change, and by a
reasonable and Just reduction of its tolls.
A word to the wise is sufficient. 1t is
we'll for corporations to remember that
they exist by the will of the people. II
they forget this fact, it is we'll that it be
brought home to them, and that in for
chile manner.
