Thomas II. Balm Says Public
Sentiment FaVors Sale
of Beer.

Thomas H. Balm was the first to crit
icise the action or inaction of Frank H.
Foster, secretary of the racing associa-
tion for allowing beer to be sold on the
grounds.
Mr.. Balm is an active prohibitionist
and a member of the Good Citizens and
Committee of POO Mr. Balm was asked
today what he thought about beer be-
ing sold on the grounds during the races
and said: Il was not surprised. Pub
lie sentiment is now in favor of having
beer sold and if it can be sold on Kan
SaS avenue there is no reason why it
should not be sold on the fair grounds.
I was surprised at Mr.. Fosters posi-
ton but 1t takes a man with a great
deal of fortitude to resist avoiding
$50 assessment

Las Vegas Strikes a Streak of
Bad Luck.
Rain Last Night Spoiled Many
of the Decorations.
SANTA FE WASHOUT
Delays the Arrival of Visitors
From the South.
Committee Leaves the City to
Meet Gov. Roosevelt.

Las Vegas N. M, June 24-RooSe-
Welt Rough Riders day opened auspic-
iously, the clouds having dispersed over
night. Business men and residents
whose decorations were damaged by the
heavy rainfall last evening were busily
engaged early in the day in restoring
brightness and color to the scene Much
of the bunting that was used, however,
was composed of cheap materials ana
the damage to it was irreparable. 1t
was found impossible, owing to the ex-
haustion of stocks, to replace the great
er part of that damaged.
The bright sun quickly dried up the
mud and by o'clock in the morning the
streets were in good condition.
The washout last night on the Santa
Fe near Blackwell, six miles south of
Las Vegas, was quite extensive, half
a mile of track having been destroyed.
and railroad people were in doubt this
morning to the time when the road
would be paSSable- They were making
heroic efforts, however, to replace the
track destroyed.
The excursion train from Trinidad
Colo, arrived here shortly before u
o'clock, having been delayed by hot
boxes. 1t consisted of eight coaches
heavily laden with people. The two reg
ular trains from the north and east
were also heavily loaded with excur-
sionists, each being furnished with more
than double its equipment.
The combined committee of Rough
Riders and citizens of New Mexico left
here at 1880 to meet Governor Roose-
welt at some point on the road. 1t was
the original intention to leave at a.
m. and meet him at Ration, but as the
trains from the west were materially
delayed, the two coaches containing the
committees were attached to a fast
freight train.

Denver, Colo, June PA special to

INDIANS INA RIOT.
Salvation Army Methods Prove Too
Exciting For an Alaska Tribe.

Vancouver, B. c., June 24.-Three
rival factions of the Indian community
at Port Essington had a bloody fight
last Saturday. The steamer Princess
Louise brought the news here and many
of the Indians who took part in the
fight came with her.
1t appears that a few weeks ago the
Indians encamped at Essington went on
a strike in the salmon fishing business.
A corps of the Salvation army arrived
shortly afterwards and commenced to
hold revival services. These were very
popular for some time and the Metho-
dist and Church of England miSsiOnar-
les then decided they would initiate
the Salvationists so that they soon had
the camp about equally divided among
them. This condition of affairs resulted
in a serious riot on Saturday in which
many Indians were injured but none
killed,

DRUMMERS TO MEET
And Organize Against the
Trusts and Combines.

Chicago, June 24.-The Tribune says:
The first practical step of travelling
statesmen to line themselves against
trusts and the wholesale removal of
their fellow commercial men incident to
the combining of business houses in the
various lines of industry may be taken
within a few days. 1t is probable that
the 1000 members of the Illinois Com
mercial Mems association will be called
to meet in Chicago and formally discuss
the evils attributed to the operation of
trusts and combines with a view to sug
gesting and fighting for an effective
settlement.

Unnecessary Alarm

Some one in the News last evening had
Il cunniptiOn TT because there has been
some Republicans ho00re3 with an invi-
tatiOn TO seats on the platform while
Bryan speaks tomorrow. The invitation
was extended by the Governor to Ex-
Governors kinkead and Colcord. 1t was
the least he could do and was merely an
exhibition of courtesy on his part which
ne would have Il right to expect were the
positions of him>elf and his tw" friends
reversed. The members of the Commit
tee, not wishing to be outdOne in polite
ness by the Govern r. invited some of
their Republican friends. 1t was merely
the extension Of ordinary courtesy and
does not carry with it any necessity of
acceptance. some of our Republican
friends seem TO think that if the distin-
guished speaker touches on the question
Of silver, or the trusts, he may possibly
convert some of his Republican hearers
TO his way of thinking. We think the
alarm unnecessary, as there is no sucl
intention, and as We have remarked he,
fore. the attendance is not compulsory.
