The Territories Furnish
Large Numbers Of
Visitors.
ROOSEVELT DELAYED
He Arrived At Two O'Clock
and His Reception Was
Intensely Enthus-'
iastic.

LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, June "a: special
to the HERALD.-The trip here was
undoubtedly one of the most pleasur-
able excursions, for those participat-
ing, that ever left Ell Paso. An ex-
ira coach was added to the regular
train leaving yesterday morning over
the Santa Fe railway in charge OF
Special Agent Houghton and Conduc-
tor Wells.
The cars were comfortably filed, but
at no time crowded, two more coaches
being attached to the train at Rim
cop.
Las Cruces furnished affair quota of
passengers and at Rincon about 100
people from Silver City, Deming and
Hillsboro join ed the excursionists.
The Normal cadet band of sixteen
pieces from Silver City came with this
party and from this point on furnished
fine music alternately at the various
stations enroute with Professor de Ia
Vegas Chihuahua band of 25 instru-
ments which entertained El Paso's
people in the plaza, the night before.
Cooling showers were frequent after
the train crossed the New Mexican
line, and these followed by refreshing
breezes made the day delightful one
to.trave1.
After picking up Rough Riders and
their friends at San Marcial, Socorro,
and Las Lunas to the numberLof three
dozen we arrived at Albuquerque
where fine demonstration greeted US.
Not since the two occasions of a little
over a year ago when farewells were
taken on this same station platform of
sons bound for Cuba, has there been
such throng at the depot as that of
last evening, when the Duke City's
population turned out to meet many of
those same young men going to their
first reunion.
Following our train out of Albuquer-
que was the train from the west
bringing the Arizona contingent,
while q special came later from the
New Mexico metropolis itself.
Cerrillos and Santa Fe also furnish
ed passengers for our train.
We arrived here at 3 p. m. The en-
tire southern delegation, six trains
with 25OO people, was delayed IA hours
by terrific water spout that washed
out half a mile of track and three
bridges, ten miles south of here. Gov
ernor Roosevelt was delayed. The
postponed exercises are about to be-
gin.
HOLMES.
LAS VEGAS, N. M, June 24--
This morning everything was ready
for the Rough Riders hero. At noon,
however, Governor Roosevelt had not
arrived. All are waiting for him. He
will arrive at two o'clock.
LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, June 24.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt and party arrived here
this afternoon to attend the first re-
union of the famous Rough Riders.
The city is almost crowded to suffo
cation with visitors from every part of
the southwest, west, and Mexico. The
reception given Roosevelt was intense
ly enthusiastic and it was with diff.
Guilty that he WAS able to pass through
the crowd at the station on the way to
his carriage.
He was cheered to the echo along
the line to the hotel.
A heavy rain fell since mid
night, drenching the de-
corations. A big washout
on the Santa Fe delayed the arrival of
the Albuquerque delegation and the
band until this afternoon.

SHE WAS INSANE
When She Killed Her Sleeping Hus-
band.

NEW YORK, June 24.-There seems
to be little doubt in the minds OF
those who have seen her, that Mrs
Harvey J. Ramsey, who killed her
husband yesterday by cutting his
throat with a razor while he lay asleep
in bed, is suffering from puerperal in
sanity.
Dr.. Anderson, who examined Mrs.
Ramsey, said the fact that she was
soon to become mother had over
thrown her reason.
