WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Aug, Goth. 1898.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Goth, 1898.
Senator Voorhees, tumbled down a
good many imaginary structures
when he asked and obtained the
consent Of the Senate for the finance
committee to hold daily meetings
while the senate was in session, in
order to consider and report finan-
cial bill. A number of industri GUS
liars have been working double
time to create the impression that
Senator Vorehees and the other
democratic members of this COM
mittee of financial bills that have
been introduced. The facts speak
for themselves and used no COM
ment.
The Senate is now considering
the bill favorably reported by the
finance committee and endorsed by
Secretary Carlisle, authorizing Ma
tional banks to issue currency to the
full amount of bonds they have de-
posted to secure the same. Senator
Cockrell has proposed several
amendments to the bill, because Of
belief that the National banks
already enjoy too many privileges.
But inasmuch as the country is
greatly in need of the additional
currency which would at once be
put in circulation were the bill a
law there is little doubt 1T will be
passed without amendment.
The house has another week of
Silver debate ahead Of it before the
voting begins. The unconditional
repeal men appear to grow more
confident of the result, although
they admit that if the rumor which
is current, that forty or fifty republi-
licans have engaged to vote with the
silver men for the amendment pro-
viding for the free coinage of silver
at ratio of 20 to l, shall provide to
be true they will be defeated and
the amendment adopted. That
rumor, however, appears to have a
very slender foundation, and Rep
resentative Bland, the silver leader,
Says he knows nothing about any
such arrangements and does not be-
lieve that it exists, and ex-Speaker
Reed says the republicans of the
House, with less than twenty ex-
ceptions, will vote for unconditional
repeal.
Members of the administration
were not surprised at the result of
the Behring Sea arbitration, hints of
the probable outcome having been
received in advance of the decision.
Nor are they disappointed, as the
United States comes out of it quite
as well as they expected. The fact
is that the present administration
has never enthused over this par
ticular arbitration, and had it not
found the whole Obusiness arranged
for when it assumed Office some
thing would have..been done in accor-
dance with it's own ideas. The de-
cision will, of course be accepted by
this government as final, and ad-
vices from London bring the same
assurance from the British govern
ment, SO that the long and trouble
some day be considered at an end,
and the advantage gained by the
arbitration as about six points In
favor of Great Britain to four in
favor of the United States. A con-
gresham speaking of the matter
said: "Itseems to be that the rich

ever, when examined very closely re-
semble one another. The principal re-
semblahce is the fact that both were
committed in the day time. But there
the resemblance ends. The last murder
was apparently committed for plumber.
Very likely it was not contemplated
originally, but was rendered necessary
by the girls discovery and Identification
of the robbers. In the Borden case muir
der, and murder alone was contemplated.
The only purpose of the Borden muir
derer was to kill Mr.. and Mrs. Borden.
The murderer was in the house, or went
into the house, for that purpose solely.
But Tuesdays tragedy, as originally
planned, there is reason for be lieving,
contemplated robbery only. AT any rate
murder was not the only object of
its authors.

Nothing could be more foo fish than
the talk about boycotting the Worlds
Fair on account of Sunday opening. TIC
be consistent the men who are instigating
this movement should start a movement
to boycott railroads that run Sunday ex-
cursion trains, or street railroad compa-
MES that do not stop business on Sun
day. There is. not particle of
difference in principle between the
running of steam and horse cars
on Sunday for the pleasure and
convenience of the public and the
opening of the fair on Sunday for the
same purpose. The clergyman who adj
vises his congregation to keep away
from the fair on week days because it is
open on Sundays, ought, to be consistent,
to advise them not to travel on rail
roads. whether horse or steam. that
run Sunday Precisely the same objec-
lions, economical and religious, lie to the
running of railroads and steamboats, on
Sunday as to the opening of the fair. 1t
deprives many men of their day Of rest,
and it is antagonistic to the religious
teaching of the orthodox churches. The
attending of the. Worlds Fair OF the
keeping away from it should be left to
the individual conscience, just as the
travelling on horse cars and railroads is.

Gov. Hogg of Texas has refused to ac-
cept the government bounty on
sugar raised in that state. Hoge
accompanies his refusal with a
windy document in which he takes
ground that the sugar bounty is uncon-
stitutional. and that it would debase
the dignity and prostitute the honor of
the state of Texas to accept it. Hogg's
pronunciamento has attracted considera-
BILE attention, and has served to get the
name of Hogg into great number of
newspapers. 1t has therefore served the
principal purpose of Hogg in issuing it.
AS the. Supreme Court of the United
States has declared the Mckinley law.
bounty and all, constitutional Hogg's
claim that it is unconstitutional is of
very little consequence, except to attract
attention to Hogg.

The legislative situation in Rhode
Island the coming year bids fair to be a
close parallel to that in Connecticut a
year ago. There was no election of gov
ernor and State officers by the people,
and hence the election devolves upon the
Senate and House in joint convention.
On the face of the returns the Republi.
cans elected a majority of the Senate.
and the Democrats a majority of the
House, and in joint convention the Re.
publicans would have had small ma
jority, enabling them to elect State Off
GERS. But as soon as the House met on
Tuesday the Democrats began to unseat
Republicans and seat Democrats in their
places, and their avowed intention is TO
60 on in this business until enough Dem
ocrats are seated to destroy the Republi-
can majority in joint convention. The
Republicans of the Senate will defeat
these tactics by refusing to meet with
the House for the election of State off.
GERS. The consequence will be that nc
State officers can be elected and the
present ones will hold over.

President Cleveland spent Memorial
Day at Hog Island, a famous Virginia
resort. This is no more inappropriate
observance of the day than great many
other people INDUCED in, but Mr.. Cleve-
land occupies an official position as the
head of the government which was saved
by the sacrifices of the men in whose
memory Memorial Day has been set
apart, and as the occupant of that posi-
ton and the most conspicuous represen-
tative of the government, it would seem
to have been his duty to have shown
some interest in the exercises of the day.

The Infanta Eulalie appears to be a
much more sensible woman than great
many of the New York four hundred
who have been bowling and curtseying in
her honor. She has never intimated any
wish that American women should I'M
dertake to ape Spanish scustoms in her
honor, but has been perfectly satisfied to
abide by the customs of American socie-
ty. The four hundred have insisted
however, on doing as they do in Spain,
with the consequence that large part
of them have made themselves laughing
stocks.

There is probably very little doubt as
to what the verdict will be in the Briggs
case though the trial has but just begun.
The preliminary motions and votes there
on all point in one direction. The
council is made up largely of men that
believe that Briggss views are heretical
and that there is no place for him inside
of the Presbyterian church. Though in
their capacity of jurors they have not
listened to the evidence they know it all
and have made up their minds probably
beyond the possibility Of any change.

Another Murder william Grudgens
tho Victim-TOm Woods Confesses
the Crime.


Another murder william Grudgens
tho Victim-TOm Woods COnfesses
the Crime.
On last Tuesday afternoon about 4
o'cocls, Jas. d. Huffman rode into town
with the information that William
Grudgens, an extensive cattle owner
on the Gila, just across the Socorro
county line, had been shot and instantly
killed.
Huffman was present at the time the
fatal shot was fred and was 80 sure that
he could identify the murderer that he
asked for warrant for Thomas Wood
with power to arrest. The proper papers
we're isued by Justice Given and Depu-
ty Sheriff Baca. Huffman left for the
scene Of the murder on Wednesday. On
Thursday Woods confessed the crime
and voluntarily surrendered to the au-
thorities Of Cooney. He attempts to
Justify his act with the statement that
Grudgens was the murderer OF his son.
He disclaims the idea that he attempted
concealment but boldly confesses that
he coolly killed Grudgens. The readers
Of this paper will remember that in the
early part Of October, one year ago, two
boys we're found murdered in camp, on
the trail above the Gila Hot Springs
Charles Woods, the fifteen year old son
Of Thomas Woods, and a Mexican boy
who mad for some time been living at
Woods ranch on the Upper Gila, were
the victims. The boys had been to Sill
yer City for supplies and in returning
had been waylaid in such a manner as to
justify the belief by some that thoir
deaths were chargeable to the treachery
of Indians. But Woods never entertain
ed this idea and industriously set about
finding the guilty party. He suspicion
ed Grudgens and carefully worked the
matter up until he was satisfied that he
could positively establish Grudgens'
guilt but as there we're so many techni-
calites in the law and the chances for
him 10 have escaped punishment so nu-
merous, he concluded not to trust to le
gal adjudication of the matter.
However true may be the statements
made by Woods IN connection with the
murder of his son, the atrocity Of his
own crime is in no manner diminished,
and he stands before the law cold blood
ed murderer of the deepest dye. Too
many cases of this character have gone
unpunished in this section for the safety
Of our citizens and the good name Of
our Territory Advanced civilization
frowns down such deeds and as long as
the perpetrators Of such bloody acts 60
unpunished, just so long will the Terri
tory of New Mexico remain blot on the
union. If old feuds are to be justified
in blood-letting, and the regime of "ar
eye for an eye, and tooth for a tooth
is to hold sway we have no right to the
favor Of just laws.

Mining and Milling.


Silver, ................... f318
JIG. Berry, owner of the McGregor
mines, started his mill last Monday on
about 800 tons of low grade ore taken
out during the summer. The mill has
been closed down for some time on ac-
count of the low price Of silver and scar
city Of water. The recent rains have
furnished the water supply, and the out
look FOR silver is better than it was at
the time the mill was closed.
Perhaps the most substantial evidence
that the mining camps contiguous to
Silver City are in healthy condition,
may be drawn from the fact that during
the month of Sept, 1892, silver bullion
to the market value Of 1,4OO was ship
ped via Of Wells, Fargo Express company
from this point, while for tho CORE
spending month, 1898, the valuation OF
the shipments amounted to S22,2221s,
nearly double the value Of 1892 In gold
bullion the shipments amounted In Sep
tembor 1892, to S2,7l5i the same month
this year shows shipments TO the value
OF Si,7e3. The conclusion naturally is
then that il times we're moderately good
in mining circles one year age, that now
with our product nearly doubled in val
ue, We must DO enjoying very substan-
tial boom.
The first silver brick produced by the
Deep Down mine Of Mogollon, was ship
ped from here during the first week Of
this month. It was beautiful specimen
and weighed % pounds.
Bell & Stephens of Pinos Altos, ship
ped 265 ounces Of fine gold bullion to
