MAKING READY.
For some time there has been discus
sion carried on by the free silver leaders
of the party over the practicability of a
plan to unite their forces and to crystal
ize their ideas into some sort of a plat
form or declaration. The net result has
been the drift of declaration addressed
"to the Democrats of the United States,"
and outlining financial policy for the
Democratic party. This paper has been
circulated on tho Democratic side of the
house, and ,s being vigorously discussed,
with the objec of obtaining the concen-
sus or opinion of silver Democrat in its
expressions.
The chief instigators of the movement
are Messrs Bland, of Missouri, Bryan, of
Nebraska, Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and
Coffeen, of Wyoming. Their paper is at
present but tentative expression, they
say, and not yet in form for publication,
since none of its details have been defin-
itely agreed upon.

dent.

LEGISLATIVE CHAT.

There we're lively times in the Repub
lican caucus last night.
Representative Clancy isn't a bi
sorry that the end is near.
Mr.. Perea is at last happy. The Lss
Cruces college committee has made {
report.
The supreme court met at p. m. te
hear arguments in the matter of compen
sation for employees.
Mr.. Bunker is on the war path and al
because Democracy won't bend sup
| plant knee to his demands for official
recognition.
Representative Locke is out again after
an illness Of several days. He will linger
with his many friends in this city unit
next MONDAY.
Representative Carr celebrated the last
day of his membership in the present as
sembly by presiding in the house during
a portion of the morning session.
District Attorney Crist was visitor in
the council during the greater portion OF
yesterday and did good work in inducing
the senators to remember the district
courts.
The bill, providing for sealer ei
weights and measures to be appointed by
the governor, has passed both houses OF
the assembly. Mr.. John L. Zimmerman
is an applicant for the appointment.
At 3 O'Clock it was thought likely that
all legislative business would be concluded
by p. m. In the parlors at the Palace
hotel at o'clock tonight President Cur
~ and Speaker Eamc will be presented
with handsome gifts. Later--Council ad-
sine die at 4 p. no.
The statement of the New MEXICAN
that the Las Vegas asylum wants fur
ther appropriation of $25,OO0 seems to
have been an error. The amount asked
for is only the proceeds of a levy of 20
mill or about $4,000, intended to rem
edy an omission in the general appro-
prIation bill.
Councilman Hadley had given him sew
eral evidences of the esteem of his col
leagues at yesterday afternoons session.
Not the least of these was the passage,
almost simultaneously with its introduce
tion, of his bill appropriating $4,000 to
aid in the entertainment of the irrigation
congress at Albuq uerque next fall.
Councilman Bunker, who was in the
chair during the great part of yesterday
afternoons session, notified the council
that he would not entertain motion to
adjourn until his "weights and measures"
bill had been considered. The humor of
the ruling caught the crowd, the bill was
called up and it proved to be such good
measure that it passed hands down.
A visitor from the south says there is 4
lively scramble for the district cerkship
which Judge Bantz has to give out.
Among the applicants are P. H. Fall, Vim
cent May and L. W. Lenoir, of Las Cru
ces; Geo. w. Miles and A. J. Loomis, of
Silver City; Editor Walton, of the Deming
Headlight; Robert Huston, of Sierra
county and R. M. Force of Santa Fe. 1t
is thought Judge Bantz will not make a
selection until about April /.

secure loan of $l00 in greenbacks col
lateral security of 800 in gold would be
required.
Mr.. Lacome moved that the bill be
tabled indefinitely.
Mr. Carr stated that he had made a
very desperate effort to favor this bill as
he had number of good friends who
would be affected by it. He felt, however,
that its passage would be a very great
misfortune.
Upon Mr.. Lacome's motion, the vote
stood 16 to 6, Messrs. Gutierrez, Leaden,
Lucero, 8. Martinez, Sanchez and Dame
voting "no," so that the bill was post
poned indefinitely.
The council amendments to H. j. r.
No. IA, the Cerrillos relief resolution,
were adopted.
Substitute to G. B. No. "a, the bill pro-
viding for the relief of the courts passed
by the council yesterday afternoon, was
taken up.
Mr.. Carr thought that the bill was a
most mischievous measure. He thought
it would loot the territorial treasury for
the purpose of filling to overfowing the
county court funds.
Mr.. Pine thought that the bill would
put funds where they are most needed,
and that it should paes.
Mr.. Christy said that he did not think
Mr.. Carr represented the sentiment of
the county of Grant on this bill. He
thought the measure was splendid one
nad eauld ber eft the county of Grant as
well as the other counties OF the terri
tory.
The bill passed by vote of 20 to 2,
Messrs. Carr and 8. Martinez voting
"no."
The house then adjourned to this after
noon.

AID FOR THE oouRTs.


The courts came in for attention from
the council yesterday afternoon and that
body treated them right royalty. Mr..
Locke's bill allowing the several courts
to issue warrants against the fund locked
up in the Albuquerque National bank In
payment of Jurors and witnesses was
passed. As 1t has already passed the
house, it will doubtless become law, thus
yielding to each of the judicial districts a
fund of $4,000 or $1,000 for court pur-
poses. Then bill framed by the council
finance committee, devoting one-half of
the delinquent territorial taxes to the
court fund was taken up and put through.
With these two measures on the statute
books the courts should have no difficulty
in clearing their dockets in the near
future.

The New MEXICAN of last evening gave
all procurable particulars of the shocking

little before noon yesterday. Additional
details secured by this paper during the
night aud day increase rather than dimin-
ish the magnitude of the horror. The

THE PIT1FUL STORY.
It was Ash Wednesday. Some of the
men who usually worked in the White
Ash mine consequently laid off. It thus
happened that the force was not as large
as on other days, but those best informed
on the subject concur in the opinion that
fully 100 men were employed in the mine
when the explosion occurred. The bread
and butter winner for wife and little
ones must work regardless of feast days
and danger.
The White Ash is notable mine. It's
annual output is immense. It is worked
from slope about 3,400 feet in depth on
an incline of probablys25 degrees and ex-
tenos east ana west' from this main

when he ventured into the deadly fourth
level on the left he hazarded his life. Yet
no one hesitated. The level was full of
poisonous gas except about two feet
above the floor and it was necessary for
the rescuers to crawl in on their hands
and knees and thus dig up and.drag out
their dead comrades. Several OF the
rescuers were themselves brought out
unconscious two and three times, and
still insisted upon going back. These

The Game Seen Here.

Sam Crowder's little men, played ball
at the Academy yesterday evening be-
fore about 600 cranks. their sisters and
their cousins and their aunts, and your
Uncle Samuel In his usual jolly way
described the play as only he knows how.
Several times during the contest he was
seen to press his hand 10 his heart
twas one Of those heart-disease games
but then his face would light up. and the
audience would know that something FOL
our side was coming over the wire. The
little men" worked very nicely. and
there was no kicking-not a murmur
of disapproval was heard by any of those
who had the good luck TO witness the
work of the invention.
There was not a hitch in any move
Everything was beautiful. and If spec
MCGOWAN had been present he would
surely have cried, IT'S all right, Sammy
The positions and plays are faithful,
executed. and at times one will watch
the board, almost expecting TO see the
pitcher deliver the ball and the catcher

the Academy and the Petersburg ball
ground yesterday was that the field was
in Richmond and the figures were dunn

DULL GAME At ROANOKE.
The Home Team Downed by the
Visitors.

ROANOKE, VA. May 6.-tSpecial)-
The game between Roanoke and Ports
mouth this afternoon was one OF the
most tiresome contests ever seen here.
IL was made so by the constant kicking
of the visitors. Reed, Knox. and Tate all
did their share towards making the life
of Umpire Crawley miserable. and well
they succeeded. especially the former,
who was fined $40. Crawley's umpiring
was poor, but he favored both sides
equally. During Roanoke's half OF the
sixth inning Tate gave notice that ne
would protest the game. but as his club
eventually won he Will probably allow
the matter to drop. Roanoke's defeat can
be summed up in a very few words:
weakness In the box. Dunn started in TO
pitch. but was knocked out In the second.
He was succeeded by Lloyd, who for
three innings held his opponents down,
but in the sixth he was touched up FOR
seven hits. including a home run and
three doubles.
George Cancel, a brother OF Catcher
Cancel. of the Boston league team,
played with Roanoke for the first time,
and led his side at the bat, with two
singles and a double.

THE SPIDERS WE'RE VICTORIOUS.
Heavy Batting Won for Them the
Cnmc with Columbian University.

The slim crowd that attended the game
AT West-End Park yesterday afternoon
between the Richmond College Spiders
and the strong team from Columbia
University were afforded ample oppor-
tunity for roofing, and witnessed very
interesting and well-played game, in
which the locals were victorious. The Co
lumbar boys have just added several new
men TO their team and were much strong
er than when they played at Ashiand
saturday. Strike-outs and double plays
were the order OF the day. only two er-
rors were made by the Spiders, and those

trievea himself by his otherwise me
nIaving. I,ockett twirled for the Rich-
monds and as this was the nrst whoie
game he has pitched his record Is a great

five hits were made off his delivery-one
of them being u scratch.
In the seventh inning, with Coluinoia
AT the bat. there were three men on bases
and no one out. II looked blue Tor the

game were the heavy hitting or Nhite
and Fllyson.
Richmond College has the finest team
mis- wear that IL has ever had. The boys
are crack players every one, and perfect
singers AT the bat. They want the state
cbampionship this year and stand In
fair wav of gaining 1t. They reaily de-
serve better patronage than they are
getting.

cial) THE Bluebirds and the Farmers
played magnificent ball this evening. In
fact IL was the greatest exhibition OF
ball-paying that has been witnessed in
this city this season. Behne was In the
box for the Bluebirds and James for the
Farmers. and both pitched gilt-ehged
ball. When Umpire DAILY called play

gathered at the park, and Behne per-
formed the feat of striking out the first
three batsmen that faced him. In their

no better. The next inning resulted In
a like manner, only three men on SIDE
facing the pitchers. In the third Lyons
hit safely and stole second, and went to
