faction.
Absolutely Pure

Mr.. A. c. Tiechman, of Cerrillos, was
In Santa Fe yesterday. In speaking of
the passage by the legislature of house
bill No. 8, An act to provide for the pay
ment of wages of workingmen employed
in the mines in the territory of New Mex
leo in lawful money of the United States,
and to protect said workingmen in the
management and control of their own
earnings, which has been signed by the
governor, said:
"The passage of Mr.. Morrow's bill is
one of the best acts of the legislature.
The benefits of such a law rightly en-
forced to the miners and merchants doing
business in coal camps can hardly be es-
timated. The business of the small coal
mining towns has almost been ruined by
the "pluck me- stores since they have
been in operation and practically driven
out competition. These stores have
caused great suffering among the miners
and deprived them of the liberty of
spending their earnings where they de.
sired.
"The miners have been compelled to
patronize the company stores. In many
instances the company stores had our
wagons watched while delivering goods,
and the people to whom goods were
taken were notified not to trade at any
place other than the comrany's store.
"1n Cerrillos and Madrid there % much
rejoicing over the passage of the bill and
its approval by the governor"

Butchered by Unkn0wn
Asaaaelna.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 20.-Further de-
velopments Of the tragedy at Winona
show it to be more horrible than was at
first reported. The murders occurred on
Wednesday afternoon but were not dis
covered till Thursday. The body of Rev.
M. Spicer was found in barn. There
was gunshot wound in his back, half q
dozen knife wounds in his breast and his
throat fearfully hacked. Indications are
that he was killed first. Mrs. Spioer,
hearing shot ran down to the barn,
where she was killed BY blow from an
az, her head being crushed, and the chin
split open to the throat. Her breast was
filed with holes, as though she had been
stabbed with a pitch fork. Mrs. Rouse
and Mrs. Spicer were both ravished. Mrs.
Rouse made struggle for her life and
that of her children from appearances,
and her throat was grazed by knife
just cutting through the skin. She was
then killed with an, az as were the chill
dren. Mrs. Waldron, an old lady, was
killed In her house. II seems to be the
general opinion among the settlers that
Indians committed the crime. An Indian
woman was badly beaten by white
woman, near Winona not long ago, and
1t is possible that some drunken Indians
took revenge on these harmless people.

THE SIGNS OF THE Times
The Mystic Symbols Which Appeared
This Morning Chalked Upon Fenc-
es, Buildings, Side walks, Etc.,
Explained.
THEY HAVE A POLITICAL SIGNlFICANC
1gnatius Donnelly, Upon Special Re-
quest from the New Mexican, De-
ciphers These Strange Signs
and Symbols.

The following explanation of the mys-
tic symbols which appeared to-day all
over town, chalked upon fences, build
ings, sidewalks, ETC., has been obtained by
the NEW MEXICAN at great expense, from
the celebrated Ignatius Donnelly, who
has devoted years of study to mysterious
signs and symbols, whether appearing
upon earthly or heavenly bodies. 1t may
be added, that this is not the first time
in the history of the world, that political
events of great import have been shroud-
ed IN mystic symbols, and the great Ig-
natius, confers distinct service upon
mankind in general, when he turns aside
from his deep meditations on religion, to
the mundane affairs of every day life.
His explanation of the symbols above
is as follows:
Special to the New Mexican.
St. Panl, Mimi, Feb. 2O.-Replying to

qualification to find some one who is not

Senate Passes q Resolution of Sym
pathy for Greece in Her Efforts on
Behalf of the People OF Crete.
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFERENCE
A Proposition Made in the House to
Strike Out the Item of $4,000 for
Payment of Members of the
SD Congress.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Cam
eron presented resolution in the senate
to-day, expressing sympathy with Greece.
The resolution was agreed to. The reso-
luton in full is as follows:
Resolved, that the senate of the United
States, being mindful of the sympathy for
the United States, expressed by the
Greeks at the time they we're struggling for
independence, now extends its sympathy
to Greece in it's Intervention in behalf of
the people of the Island of Crete for the
pnrpose of bringing them from the
tyranny of foreign oppresses and to
restore peace with the blessings of Chris
tian institutions in that distressed island.
INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFERENCE.
The house committee on coinage today
decided to report favorably the senate
bill for an international monetary con-
ference, with amendments authorizing
the president if he saw fit to seek an
agreement by diplomatic negotiations,
instead of by conference. Ten of the
seventeen members of the committee
were present, three Republicans, six Dem
ocrats, and one Independent, eight of
whom are silver men, and there was no
dissent to the report. Five Republican,
absented themselves.
SHORT DEBATE.
The house resumed its discussion of
the general deficiency bill today. A
spirited debate occurred on the pending
motion of Mr.. Hopkins, Republican, of
Illinois, to strike out the item of $4,000
to pay members of the 53rd congress the
amount withheld on account of absence.
Mr.. Hopkins declared that this was a
plan to have the Republican congress
wash dirty linen for a Democrat con-
gress. Democratic speaker, (Mr.
Crisp,) supported by a Democratic ma
Jority, made these reductions, in order
to hold q quorum, and if Democrats
desired to reverse their policy, they
shonld not apply to a Republican house,
when they are omplaining "billion dollar
appropriations"
In the course of a long discussion Mr..
Crisp, Democrat, of Georgia, explained
the course of his father as being in ac-
cordance with the.interpretation of law
ns given by the judiciary committee.
