a. City of Churches.

Silver City is fast becoming city Of
churches. The Episcopal, Presbyterian
and Catholic congregations all have
attractive and substantial edfices and
the new Baptist church will be ready
for occupancy during the present month.
The Methodist congregation has one OF
the best sites in the city, but the present
structure has been for some time past
inadequate for existing needs as well as
more or less antiquated in appearance.
While the only question which has been
absolutely determined upon is that
new edifice shall be built. 1t seems to be
the concensus of opinion OF those inter-
ested that the new church shall be
constructed at cost of about "a, 900.
This sum will provide building which
will not only be an ornament to the city
but will be ample for all the needs OF the
CONGREGATION. 1t will be located directly
ON the corner of the present site, and
will permit the use of the present
structure until completed The main
auditorium will be 32x45 feet in dimen-
sions. and will have seating capacity
of 200 people. A lecture rooms 1896
feet will provide for 115 seats additional.
There will be tower So feet in height
on the street corner. The building will
be of brick and neatly finished. 1t will
probably require an additional 81 900 to
furnish the building.

The Episcopal Convention at San Fran

San Francisco, Oct. 16,-By concur
renee of the two houses of the Epi scopa
convention, new constitution was
adopted for further action at the next
convention, by which a bishop for the
missionary district, if his district be-
comes diocese, shall become its first
bishop, if he so elect, without the me-
cessity of election by the diocese. An
amendment to the new constitution
was adopted by the deputies, to be final
ly passed on by the next general con
vention, giving the delegates from mis-.
sionary districts within the bounds OF
the United States seats in the conven-
tion, with all the rights Of the deputies
from the dioceses, except the right to
vote when vote is taken by orders.
This amendment was introduced in the
House of Deputies and strongly adv'ca-
ted by Governor 4. Bradford Prince. of

"The Aragons came here from Las

THE SCHLEY COURT
OF INQUIRY
But Slight Effort Made to Determine
Whether Spanish Fleet Was at
Cienfuegos,
DELAY BY SMALLER VESSELS
The Battle Of July 8. off Santiago is Re-
viewed in the Testimony Today.-The
Spanish Shore Batteries Were Of a
Oaliber not to Exceed Six or
Eight Inches.

Washington, D. c., October To-
Commander N. E. Mason, executive
officer of the Brooklyn during the war,
was the first new witness today IN the
Schley case Rayner asked how many
times he had seen Schley under fire.
He replied: During all engage
ments." " I
What was his general conduct, man
ner and bearing on these occasions?H
Excellent, in every particular. He
was calm, collected and brave"
Mason gave a brief account of the
battle of July 8. On cross examina-
tion, Mason said he had not made the
coal supply his especial concern. He
had not discussed the question with the
commodore, nor had he any conversa-
ton with him on any other official
matter. He was quite sure the Brook
lyn was not particularly short of COAL
The court asked a number of questions
before discharging the witness. In re-
ply to these Commander Mason said
that, beyond sending men aloft and
having Captain McCalla go ashore, no
effort had been made by the flying
squadron to determine whether the
Spaniards were in the harbor at Glen
fuegos; that on the voyage from Glen
fuegos to Santiago the fleet had been
delayed by the smaller vessels, and,
but for these vessels, better speed
could have been made; that he had OBJ
served the bombardment of the Colon,
and from this engagement reached the
conclusion that the guns in the Span
ish shore batteries were of caliber
not to exceed or inches.
The first witness at the afternoon
session was Lieutenant Edward Nc
Cauley, Jr, who, as ensign on the
Brooklyn served as Schley's signal
officer. He had diary in which he
made notes of the progress of events
during the war, and frequently consul
ted it to refresh his memory.
The witness read a list of signals to
and from the Brooklyn on July 3.

A NEW MEXICO BOY SHOT.
Frank Rodriguez of Albuquerque Found at
San Francisco With Bullet in His

Head.
The San Francisco Call of last Fri
day prints the story and pictures of
several New Mexico boys who got into
trouble at San Francisco. The Call
says:
Frank Rodriguez, 20 years of age,
was shot in the head in room IL OF the
lodging house at SO3 Montgomery St,
yesterday afternoon, and three other
youths-Clement Aragon, 16; Charles
Aragon, %; and John Mendez, 2o-are
being detained in the city prison pend
ing the result of the wound and an IN
vestigation by the police.
s'The room in which the shooting
took place was occupied by Clement
Aragon. Rodriguez slept with him
Wednesday night and about 1 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon Policemen Nelson
and Maloney were notified by the land
lady of the house that Rodriguez had
been shot When they entered the
room they found Clement Aragon sup
porting the unconscious form Of Rod
riguez, who had been shot in the
head. They summoned the ambulance
and Rodriguez was removed to the re-
ceiving hospital, where the opinion
was expressed that he would die.
1.-THE officers noticed that pane OF
glass in the window of the room was
broken and Aragon said he had thrown
the revolver, in his excitement
through the window to the roof of the
adjoining building, where Policeman
Nelson found 1t. There were loaded
cartridges in it and two empty ones
The officers also noticed hole In the
ceiling, evidently made by bullet, anc
part of the plaster was scattered or
the floor, showing that the shot hae
been recently fired.
"Clement Aragon, his brother Charles
and Mendez were taken before captain
Seymour, where they all made state
ments. Clement said he and Rodri-
guez had just shaved and were getting
ready to go out. He thought thes
would better fix the revolver, which
Charles Aragon had a few days before
taken from Mendez, before going out
He took the weapon and got the ham
mer half-cocked. when it stuck. Rod
riguez said Aragon did not know how
to fix it and grabbed hold of tt to pull
it away, when it went off. Both dropp
ed the revolver and Rodriguez fell Il
the floor. Clement picked up the re
volver and threw 1t out of the window
he says. He told the landlady and sh
advised him to telephone for the po
lice. He and Rodrlguez were friends

Resolutions We're Adopted Upon Many Im-

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 16.-In the
American Bankers association conven-

sections of the country reported in five
minute speeches the general condition
of business. The general trend of the
statements showed that business is in
a thoroughly satisfactory condition.
Resolutions were adopted, including
resolutions asking congress to repeal
the war revenue act relating to stamps,
etc. legislation for the punishment of
anarchists; return of drafts, checks,
where stamps have been redeemed; in

ple at the election held in 1890, but it
will always stand as monument to
the wisdom and craftsmanship of it's
trainers.
T believe that the time is now ripe
for the fruition of our hopes; that
congress knows the merit of our claims
and will not longer deny us the privil-
ege we have sought so long, and that
the action of this assemblage OF rep
resentative citizens of the territory
will prove a potent help toward that
end.
do not on an occasion like this wish
to speak of disagreeable facts, but 1t
is we'll that we should realize and face
them and then apply the remedy. Our
ridiculously low assessment for taxa
ton is constantly spoken Of and re-
fiected upon. The present assessed val
ue of the territory is less than forty
millions, while it Is notorious fact
recognized by all who know anything
about the subject that it ought at the
least to be three times that amount.
The figures show that we have dropped
from forty-five millions in 1890 to less
than thirty-eight millions in 1901, ana
the reduction still goes on, until as
means of self preservation, in order to
protect our credit and pay the actual
expense of the government, the terri
torial board of equalization last month
made a raise on the returned value OF
all the property it could reach. This,
my fellow citizens, is lamentaole
state of affairs and one that must be
remedied by you. You must see to 1t
that proper men are elected to assess
the property and equalize its value, SO
that we may appear to the world wnat
we are in fact, as to our wealth ana
ability to pay our obligations.
This I believe to be the principal OBJ
lection to our immediate admission,
and If at this meeting you will adopt
suitable resolutions upon this most I'M
portant and vital subject and determine
to see them carried out, you will have
taken a long step toward the ob1ec'
for which we are here assembled.
I understand that some timorous
people are afraid Of the expense and
responsibility attached to our becom'
ing a state, but such fears are unwor-
thy of American manhood; if they
were to prevail in the ordinary affairs
of life no one would exercise his rights
of citizenship, or incur the duties an6
responsibilities of family life. The his
| tory of every newly admitted state II

and we would be no exception to this
rule. but on the contrary by our loca
ton midway of the oceans which bount
