REMARKABLE SNOW STORM.
Greatest Fall OF tho Beautiful Ever
Recorded at santa Fe During Aprii
Water Problem Solved
Trains Delayed.

The most remarkable snow storm that
has occurred in this region during the
twentythree years since the establish
ment of the U. S. weather bureau at Santa
Fe began in the surrounding mountains
on Friday night and continued without
interruption until last evening. 1t be-
gan showing in Santa Fe during Saturday
night and continued thus employed all
day yesterday. 1t is estimated that fully
three feet of fresh snow have fallen in
the mountains and the local weather OBJ.
server reports an actual fall of eleven
inches of snow in this city, equivalent to
one and eleven hundredths inches of
water.
/ This ia the greatest snowfall ever re-
corded at Santa Fe during April and is
much greater than any snowfall here dur
ing the past winter. The greatest down
falls of snow heretofore recorded at this
point in April were three inches Oh April
~, 1887 and the same quantity on April
IS, 1890. The normal precipitation in
April as previously recorded was seventy
two one-hundredths of an inch In water,
AZ against one and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
inches of water so far this month.
The maximum temperature in Santa
Fe yesterday was SO degrees and last
night the minimum temperature was rs
degrees above zero. It'll probable that
eprly peaches and apricots have suffered
somewhat, but other varieties of fruit are
| regarded as safe. But whatever damage
I a. G., kho,,
made up by the great benefits this heavy
fall of snow has conferred upon the stock
ranges, ranches and truck gardens.
| 1t will prove veritable Godsend
to all who are engaged in these i'm
portant pursuits, rs before it came the
future was viewed with grave comprehension
on account of the lack of water and the
unusual dearth of snow in the mountains.
This storm solves the water problem for
the season. 1t will do more good than a
heavy rain. inasmuch as snow melts and
sinks gradually into the earth, thus being
the best possible preparation for plant
ing, and the wholesale quantity in the
mountains insures plenty of water in all
the streams during the irrigation season.
TRAINS DELAYED.
1t is reported that eight or ten feet Of
snow fill all Of the cuts on the Ration
range, that the beautiful stuff is soloaded
with water that it packs almost as hard
as ice and that most of it must be- re-
i moved with shovels. 1t consequently
happens that east and west bound trains
on the Santa Fe system are detained on
either side Of the Ration mountains and
an eastern mail is not expected in this
city before midnight. No eastern mail
reached here yesterday. At least two feet
of snow fell on the Glorieta mountain
grade, but this will be removed during the
day and the track placed in itsusua condi-
ton

A Washington press dispatch to the

collegiate Catron, of New Mexico, has
furnished case of nepotism that is the
gossip of all Washington.
"The secretary of the navy recently
notified him there was vacancy at the
naval academy for the territory. The
New Mexico delegate recommended one
son, john W. Catron, a cadet, and Chris
TOPPER Catron, another son, as alternate.
These appointments txclted much CON-

mont called on the New Mexico delegate
to name cadet for West Point, he
promptly named @. G. Catron. 1t is un-
derstood the son who has been named for
West Point is the same who was recon-
mended for alternate to the naval acad.

Gold at Cripple Creek.

The best way to get there is over the
Santa Fe Route. The fabulously rich
gold mining district of Cripple Greek,
Colo, is attracting hundreds of people.
By spring the rush bids fair to be enor-
nous. That there is an abundance of
gold there is demonstrated beyond doubt.
Fortunes are being rapidly made.
To reach Cripple Greek, take the Santa
Fe Route, the only standard guage line
direct to the camp. Through Pullman
sleepers and chair cars. The Santa Fe
lands you right in the heart Of the Cripple

toenable them to sec what is practic- ally self-evident to others. Mir. Otey's carefully prepared tables show that change of 70,000 votes, in the aggregate, in twenty-five of the leading States, North, South and West, will make the House Demo- cratic again and elect the President.
 . Think of it-only 70,000 votes out of a dozen millions.
 He takes the number of votes nec- essary to change the result of 1894 in each of eighty Congressional dis tricts now represented by Repub- licans. In not district is change of over , per cent required, except in Wyoming, and i'll that State, with one Congressman. 10 per cent change is necessary.
 But again, of these eighty districts two-thirds Of them have been general ly and are ordinarily counted as Democratic. and only switched off in 1894 in disgust at the record of the last Democratic Congress. In New York eight congressman can be gained by change of but per cent per district Seven can be gained in Indiana by per cent change, eight i'll Illinois by gain of 2.3 per cent and nine in Missouri by d 1.G per cent gain.
 Is there a thinking Democrat who imagines that by unity of action and harmony of feeling the Demo cratic party of the United States cannot win back to if 70,000 votes only of the vast number that voted with the Republicans in the last election simply as q rebuke to dere- lict and incompetent representa- tives?
 And is there not 10 per cent of dissatisfaction, of bitter personal antagonism and sectional differences today in the Republican rank? Still, the average per cent of gain neees- sary for the Democrats, in the twenty-five States named, is but 3 per cent. The whole canvass as it is shaping up and every National analysis of the figures demons trates that the only thing required by the Democracy for another brilliant sue cess this fall is to stand solidly to the nominees and platform to be announced at Chicago this summer and the Congressional nominees everywhere, with the single pur- pose of retaining control of the Nation and settling our party differences afterwards and within Che party.

Democrats Can Easily Win

Many men are incapable of appre- eiating or grasping a proposition put in general terms unless you illus trate it, says the Houston Post. For instance, there are many good Democrats in this country now who hesitate to admit even so plain d declaration as that it is eompara- tiAely easy for the Democratic party to carry the elections this fall, retain the Presidency and regain the House.
 And yet the proposition is suscepti~ ble of a mathematical demonstra- ton. and the country is indebted to Congressman Otey of Virginia for furnishing the figures necessary to illustrate the truth to those Demo- cratic Thomases who require details
