TEST OF STRENGTH
Senators Looking Forward to the
Vote On Sugar With Much
i @':.-: Anxiety.
EXPECT SMOOTH SAILING THEN.
no Further Contest Likely Until
the Income Tax Feature Is
>,
Reached.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The main in
terest in the proceedings in the senate
this week centers in the prospective
contest over the sugar schedule. The
consideration of the metal schedule
having been concluded Saturday, the
wood schedule is the only one now
standing before sugar. The principal
debate on the wood sch edule will be on
the subject of lumber, which, having
been put on the free list when so many
other articles of raw M aterial are made
dutiable, will arouse an animated dis
CUSTOM
Senator Jones expressed the opinion
that the sugar schedule should be dis
posed of in two days, but the Republi-
cans do not think it can be gotten out
of the way in so short a time. Senators
on both sides of the cha I'M ber are look
ing forward to the vote on sugar with
an interest that
Amounts Almost to Anxiety.
It is very evident that the result of the
contest over this schedule will be re-
garded in large measure as test of
the strength of the respective sides on
the bill as whole. It the committee
amendments should be accepted the
Democrats expect to have smooth sail
ing on other portions Of the bill until
the income tax shall be reached, and
even hopeful that with sugar disposed
of they will be able to get the oppo-
nents of the bill to name day for
taking the vote on the passage of the
bill.
The Republican leaders say, how
ever, that the bill is one which, from its
nature, requires to be discussed by
schedules, and that it would be difficult
for this reason to agree upon day for
vote and be sure that the
Consideration of the Schedules
would be completed by the time agreed
upon. They say, however, that they are
illing to confer with he Democrats
upon this prop position after TIE vote 81
sugar shall have been taken. They
claim now, as they have claimed from
the beginning, that they are not dis
posed to resort to any tactics for the de-
lay of the bill and most OF them seem
really willing now that the Till should
be disposed Of as soon as possible, con-
sistent with due attention to the vari-
Gus interests affected by, the schedules
not yet considered. After the sugar de-
bate there probably will be no long
speeches unless they te made on the in
come tax.
The Repu blicans probably will make
their strongest effort in connection with
the sugar schedule to have the bounty
of the present law retained.

Saturday are very angry and have been
organizing an armed mob to avenge the
wrongs which they claim are being
done to their fellow miners by their de-
tention by the sheriff. Colonel Ben nett
and his command are we'll prepared for
trouble, and as an extra precaution the
pickets were doubled. The men under
arrest have many sympathizers in La
Sale and Peru, who will no doubt take
part in any concerted action on the
prospect of securing their release. So
far as this city is concerned, it is the
universal opinion that the leaders will
use every precaution to keep the for
eigners from committing depredations
so long as the militia is here.

Settlement of the Trouble a. Cripple
Creek Probable.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., May 2S.-A
delegation of citizens from Colorado
Springs came to the city during the
morning with the hope that something
might be done to settle the controversy
that has arisen in connection with the
strike. The gentlemen reached this
city at o'clock and soon after left for
Altman for conference with the miners.
They were very courteously received ly
eentatives of the union. A conference
was held at which it was stated that
the delegation, entirely of its own re-
sponsibility, had come in the interest Of
peace and arbitration of all differences.
After very satisfactory conference all
the miners in the vicinity congregated
about the building in which the meet
ing was held and DR.. Slocum addressed
them, stating the grounds upon which
arbitration could be brought. He was
cordially received by the crowd and
loudly applauded. He was followed by
Rev. Mr.. Darlington, who further ex-
planned the reasons which had brought
the delegation and then Mr.. Coils,
president of the trades assembly, ad-
dressed the audience.
A meeting of the Miners union has
been called and there is every reason
for thinking that a committee will be
appointed which will attempt to arbi-
trate and settle the whole trouble.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
A Moment, Mr.. Prince.

| In an interview in this city on the Santa
Fe tragedy of Tuesday, You laid yourself
open to some very pertinent q uestions.
You say that the occurrence was "most
deplorable," growing out of the atrocious
murder of Faustin Ortiz. Now, Mr..
Prince, the murder of Ortiz, which, as you
say, was most fendish crime, occurred
during your administration as governor
of this territory. Did you ever take the
slightest, earnest steps to apprehand the
assassins of Ortiz! Did your Office &C.
cumulate any evidence discriminating any
party or parties to that crimei Did you
not, sir, tell his weeping and half crazed
m other that no serious trouble had be-
fallen himf All this time did you not
know that seven or eight persons we're
implicated in his assassination You
have divulged that the killing was
political one. How much more do you
know and whom are you shieldingi You
know that his murderers have been con-
nected with nearly every crime of similar
nature committed in this territory. You
avow that fact boldly, yet you did moth.
ing, in your official capacity, looking
toward these peoples apprehension. You
oPooh VI uAC III III uol VI lain SuhVcA
and profess to believe it to have been
brought about through domestic revenge,
though lnsinuating that Chavez was con-
nected with the Ortiz murder. Knowing,
as you say, that all good citizens were
most anxious that the perpetrators be
brought to justice, why was it, sir, that
your Office took no steps in that direc-
tions Was it because of your ''retribu-
ton" theoryf You were governor, with
power practically unlimited, your sub.
ordinates were to be trusted by yourself.
They were most devoted to your inter.
ests, still no action. Whys In your
interview regarding the Vigil killing
you state, as facts, what some hypo-
thetical individual told you on the train.
You further state from your own knowl-
edge that the information charging Vigil
and others with Chavez murder was
forced from prisoners by officers with
guns in their hands. How very remark
able it is that man having 80 much in
formation as you claim did not know that
two men had voluntarily turned states
evidence. What is your object in cast
ing doubt on the evidence obtaineds Was
it because Vigil has been for years all
active politician with affiliations similar
to your ownH You state with great
show of indignation that Vigil was shot
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-01-13

by imported man-killers, and hired quick
shooters. Why, in advance of the evil
dence adduced at the preliminary examina-
ton, should you take upon yourself the
responsibility OF determining who killed
Vigil? Are you mind reader?
The evidence now shows that Sheriff
Cunningham or Page Otero shot Vigil
only after he had refused to surrender
ana had fred on them. Mr.. Prince, your
interview shows painful distortion of
facts. Have you not fallen into the err
ror of that other great man of whom it is
related that "every time he opened his
mouth he put his foot in it?"
The difference between Democratic and
Republican administration IN this terri
tory has been that while the former have
hunted down and punished crime the
latter have condoned it either for politi-
cal reasons or for the emoluments of Of
fee.
1t is to be hoped, for your sake, that
it will be long before you have another
opportunity of so confounding yourself
as in your Albuquerque interview.-Al-
buquerque Democrat.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-01-13

cused of the Chavez assassination. Time
and the abundant evidence will prove this
to be fact. The law and order element of
this community fully sustain the officials,
and there is but one general desire, that
being that the accused be accorded fair
and impartial hearing, and if guilty, full
justice melted out. No true citizen OF
New Mexico should wish to have it other.

que Citizen, when it is apprised of the
facts in the case, will, in the interest OF
good government, everywhere through
out New Mexico, have no difficulty in
reaching conclusions far different from
those which have appeared in its editorial
columns and its correspondence from
Santa Fe during the past few days.

are welcome to all the "policy" they car
