SHOCKING SUICIDE.
santiago sails. Baker at the Govern
ment Indian School. Cremated
Himself Last Night.

Santiago Sails, employed as bread baker
at the United States Indian school, adopt
ed singularly horrible method of COM
mltting suicide last night.
About 1870 O'Clock he went into the
wooden water-closet on his place on Pal
ace avenue, just east of the Seligman
residence, with an armful Of clothing be-
longing to his wife and children, some
old newspapers and common lamp from
his room containing about three plnts OF
coal oil. There he seems deliberately to
have closed the door, wrapped the cloth
ing and papers around his legs and body,
emptied the lampfol of coal oil over him
self and set fire to the combustible mass
encasing his body. In the twinkling of
an eye he was enveloped in flames.
The fire in the closet was soon after
discovered and extinguished and wet
blankets were quickly wrapped around
the burning body. In this way the un,
fortunate man was rescued and carried
into his house before life was extinct.
But his face and features were burned to
crisp, his eyes were put out, his ears
we're binders, his hair was all gone, the
skin and finger-nails slipped off from his
hands like gloves and his feet and legs
we're literally cooked.
Yet he was conscious and explained
that no one was to blame for his act but
himself. DR.. Crosson was promptly sum-
moned, but could do nothing for the suf'
fering man, who fingered in great agony
until O'Clock this morning when death
mercifully came.
The deceased was about Is years old
and leaves widow and four children. He
was a native of-Santa Fe, was a baker
by trade and those who knew him we'll
speak of him as most industrious and
worthy man. 1t appears that insanity
runs in his family, one of his brothers
being insane, and no doubt this accounts
for his awful deed.
Several times yesterday Sais threatened
to terminate his life, bid many of his
friends goodbye and late in the evening
tried to borrow pistol of Justice Bor
rego.
The funeral will take place day aftel
| tomorrow.

We believe that the sum of 5000 will be
sufficient to purchase all needed supplies
for present use, and we would respectful
ly recommend that an appeal by sub
scription be made to the merchants and
citizens of Santa Fe, through commit
tee to be appointed for that purpose,
consisting of five citizens to act as a
finance committee.
The amount appropriated by the city
council annually we believe should not be
less than the sum of $500 which will
cover all current and running expenses
and provide sinking fund for the pur-
chase of new hose and other apparatus
as needed.
We find upon investigation that the
members of the department, from its
chief officers to each member thereof, are
always ready and willing to perform the
duties required of them, oftimes expos
ing themselves to the greatest danger,
and we believe it to be the duty of the
city council and citizens to furnish them
with the best and most approved las
also the safesD apparatus that can be
procured for the preservation of life and
property consistently with the means at
hand.
We find that great lack of interest
exists among many of our young
men of the city to perform fire duty by
becoming members of the department.,
and we believe that every lnducement
and encouragement should be given by
the enactment of laws favorable to the
members of the fire department as an in
ceEtive to do fire duty, which in our
opinion will be conducive to raising the
tone ard standing of its membership.
We, your committee, consider it the
duty of every citizen to give his aid and
countenance to the maintaining of an
active and efficient fire department and
this can only be done by personal sac
ritice of time and means, and in order tC
bring close relationship between the
department and the citizens.
We would recommend that board o.
fire commissioners be organized upon
such plan as may be hereafter sug
gested and perfected, which will meet thu
wishes and desires of the department ant
the city council, said board of fire com
missioners to act in an advisory ana ex
ecutive capacity in harmony with tn,
city authorities and the members of tn
department. and the citizens in general
We would also recommend that com
mittee of three citizens be appointed a
a legislative committee to act until afte
the session of the next territorial legis
lature and whose duty shall be to secur
if possible the enactment of laws favor
able to the best interests of the fire de
partment and its membership.

AND STILL THEY COME.
Hon. II. IL. Belts Resigns as Men,
her Of the Republican Committee
A Card from MIR. Carr-Mr.
GALES Case.

The cause of good government and
honest finance is still making inroads
among the better class of Republicans in
New Mexico. When Representative d.
P. Carr formally announced his retire
ment from the Republican party after
thirty odd years of faithful service be-
cause of it's declaration in favor of Han
mas goldbug platform and the dead is
sues represented by McKinleyism, the
pie-counter brigade undertook to make
light of his action and Justify pelted him
with their paper bullets of personal
abuse and criticism.
Then came the withdrawal of Senator
Nicolas GALES, of Sierra county, from the
party. Mr.. Gales has been for many
years one of the most prominent Repub-
leans in the territory and represented
his district several times in both branches
of the legislature, and his quitting the
party served to give the situation very
gloomy aspect for the Mckinley band
wagon crowd. But now matters have be-
come still worse, as the following self.ex-
| planatory communication will show:
| To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Silver City, N. NJ, July 6, 1S96.-Mr.
Belts has just handed me the appended
copy of letter written by him to Gen.
Bartlett. If the deluded gentlemen of the
gold standard wing of the Republican
party think that l am alone in the step
that have taken they will be undecelved
in very short time. More than score
of hitherto staunch Republicans have Of
fered to sign an agreement not to vote
for candidate for any office from con-
stable to delegate in congress, who in
dorses the Republican gold standard
platform, but have, as advised by me,
concluded to await the action of the Chi
cago convention, after which, if satisfac-
tory, many more will sign such declara-
ton. Very truly yours,
Hon. E. l.. Bartlett, chairman territorial Re-
publican central committee, Santa Fe
Silver City, N. M, July 6, 1s96.-Dear
Sir: desire to place in your hands my
resignation as a member of the territor-
ial Republican central committee, with a
request that at the next meeting of the
committee you will insist upon its accep-
lance, rs l am not IN accord with the
platform adopted at the st. Louis Repub-
lican convention, and, therefore, can not
consistently act with those who support
gold standard, when 1 believe that all
men who have the welfare of the produc
ers and working men at heart should sup

 The reception was in honor of the delegates to the fifth National irriga- tion congress, and the entire first floor Secretary Bruce's elegant offices, the city council chamber, the territorial library and the governors chambers) was wide ajar for everybody.
 Inspiring strains of excellent band music appealed to the musical sense as one entered the building. The mu- sicians were grouped at the north en- trance, and near the door of the west entrance was formed a cordon of Ma tional Guardsmen. AS the people ar rived they were courteously escorted into the presence of Governor Frank lin, where members of his military staff introduced each in person. His excellency was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Franklin, Miss Franklin and Mrs. leighton.

These spacious rooms were soon filled with a mass of humanity-a great bundle of happy, good-natured people who made merry over the jostling and tanning, and accepted it as one of the unavoid- able incidents of a public gathering of this nature. The floral decora- tions of the chambers were pretty be- lyond expression. One might shut the eyes to the severity of staid old law making chambers and imagine himself stepping into a beautiful tropical gar den. There was a ravishing prospect of plants and flowers. On the dais of either chamber was banked ever greens, palms, lilies, Spanish daggers chrysanthemums, carnations and roses of every description and hue.
 Preliminary to the hop timely and happy speeches were made by General
 A. J. Sampson, A. G. Wolfenbarge1

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Some Interesting Matters Discussed
 and Strong Statements Made.

It was 2:30 o'clock when the con- gross began it's after luncheon session. The committee on credentials not be- ing ready to report, Judge J. s. Elm cry of Kansas, National lecturer, was introduced. He delivered his report, which was in the nature of investiga- tons and observations of irrigation matters as well as a resume of what was accomplished at the previous ses- stons of the congress. He concluded with an urgent appeal to the congress to perfect permanent organization On broader lines to more effectively lagislate in the cause of irrigation.
 He said the irrigation congress had commenced work upon the National legislature by rendering invaluable assistance in obtaining an appropria- tion for Photographic surveys for de- termining the water supply. Several Of the bills introduced were for ceding the arid lands to the states and terri tories; for the building of water stor- age reservoirs and for an irrigation commission.

 Secretary .. NJ. Heintz of the Ma tional committee then presented his re- port of the work accomplished by the committee during the last year. He said that the committee was badly handicapped in not having funds to work with. The only monies received were the contributions from members Of the committee and few states that contributed sums. He eulogized the work done by the local committee and said that a good deal had been accomp- lished. Over 500 papers had published the call of the congress or else con- tained articles in reference to it.
 The report was complete and not only had reference to everything that was done for the congress, but ac- counted for all expenditures.
