A TOTAL OF TWENTY FIVE.

ALBURQUERoUE, N. M., Feb. 28.-Ad- vices up to noon of the mine explosion at Cerrillos place the number of dead posi- lively at twenty five. One man is still missing. All the rest of the miners are accounted for this morning. Tom Leaden , the one rescued, is a member of the New Mexico legislature. He is making an ei- fort to have the bill passed today for the relief of the widows and orphans of the men killed. The superintendent of the mines says this morning that the explosion was caused by the carelessness of two miners who passed the danger line with unprotected lamps against orders. A cor. oneS's jury was empaneled today, and will begin taking evidence tomorrow. The damage to the mine is very small.

TOM WATSON SCORES REPUBLICANS AND
 DEMOCRATS ALIKE IN A SPEECH.
 AUGUSTA, Ga., Feb. 2S.-Hon. Thos. D. Watson, populist candidate for congress in the Tenth district, and man who claims to have been elected to the seat which Con- gressman J. c. Black holds, addressed a large audience in the opera house tonight.
 For the first time in any of his popplist speeches Mr. Watson arrainged the re- publican party tonight as we'll as the demo- cratic. His speech was conciliatory throughout and he said he deplored as much as anybody the dissensions and bit. terness in the district.
 He made a plea for harmony and for more friendly criticism of himself by the people. His speech was principally de- voted to the financial question and of course advocated the retention of gold, silver and greenbacks. His speech was well received and will have good in. fuence in healing dissension in the dis trict. It was the most conservative speech Mir. Watson has ever made.
 MT. Watson made no reference to the special election which is to take place in this district because of the resignation of Congressman Black to allow Mir. Watson another chance at the congressional seat.

 Evening at the Opera
 House Hotel.

Birming ham Lodge No. 85, Knights of Pythias, held largely attended and en- thusiastic meeting last night in their castle hall, the occasion being work in the orien- tai degree. Besides the members of this there were members of several other lodges in attendance, and the mystic work was gone through with most satisfactorily i. e., so the initiated say.
 Immediately after the beautiful ''Good Night'' song was rendered and the dis missal of the chancellor commander, the Pythians, by twos, marched to the Opera House hotel where Mine Host Gelders had prepared splendid menu for the deleeta- tion of Birmingham lodge and her invited guests.
 Past Chancellor Dr. W. H. Wilder was accorded the seat of honor as toastmaster at the head of the table, and Chanceiior Commander Sumpter Bethea graced the foot. Covers> had been laid for 100 and each was represented by sir knight. The following was the
 MENU.

 During the repast many sir knights were called upon to pay tribute to the "Be- loved Order,'' and knightly words were spoken in response to the toastmaster's 8 bidding. Perhaps the most enjoyable words were those spoken by Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, a recent acquisition to the ranks of No. S5. h beautiful words he spoke of the order, and especially it's golden motto, "Frendship, Charity and Benevolence. The banquet was most enjoyable one, and those present felt that the ties of brotherly love would be the more closer drawn were there to be more of these social features.

Only Two Hundred Wild BuffalOes Still

Only Two Hundred Wild BufalOes Still
Alive In tho United States.
In a wild state, the American bison,
or buffalo, is practically, though not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about 900 wild buff
faloes alive and on foot in the United
States. To obtain these high figures
we include the $50 individuals that the
white head hunters and red meat hunt
ers have thus far left alive in the Vel
lowstone park, where the butfaloes are
fondly supposed to be protected from
slaughter. Besides these, there are
only two other lunches; one of about 20
head in Lost park, Col, protected by
state laws, and another, con-
tanning between 80 and 40 head, in Val
Verde county, Tex, between Devils
river and the Rio Grande.
Four years ago there were over 800
head in the Yellowstone park, thriving
and increasing quite satisfactorily.
Through them we fondly hoped the
species would yet be saved from abso-
lutte extinction. But, alas! we were
