The Washington times., 1901-09-14

Yesterday the police authorities of Buff
faIo were apprehensive that public grief
over the unfavorable turn reported in
the Presidents condition might lead to
some attempt to capture and lynch his
would-be assassin. The popular feeling
is natural. but on such solemn occasion
all good citizens should stand by the law.
1t is enough for the avowed enemies of
society TO violate and defy it.
The Washington times., 1901-09-14

The sudden rise into prominence and
popularity of this young man naturally

A UNIQUE
CONTROVERSY
The Relative Worth Of Thorite,
Maximite and the Isham Celia
tine Projeotile Discussed
SEC'Y ROOT WILL DECIDE
The Bureau of Ordnance and the Board Of
Ordnance and Fortifcations Are at
Loggerheads Over the Matter
Maximite Recommended.

New York, June 1.-The Herald s
Washington correspondent says: High
explosives have disturbed the relations
between the bureau of ordnance ana
the board of ordnance and fortifica-
tions. A. bitter controversy has been
raging between these two branches of
the army more than year and has
been brought to the attention of Secre-
tary Root for final action. The fortifi-
cation law authorizes the secretary in
his discretion, to purchase for Sl00,OOO
the right to manufacture thorite, an
explosive for filling shells, and the Is
ham shell, projectile in which eXplo-
sive gelatine can be fired. The board
of ordnance and Notifications, presided
over by General Miles, recommended
the secretary of war to acquire the pa
tents on the explosive shell named. The
board which has been conducting the
tests at Sandy Hook reports that after
exhaustive triels of thorite it is found
that a reasonable degree Of efficiency
can not be obtained and the board
therefore recommends that the tests
be discontinued. MaXimite seems to
have pleased the board more than thor
ite. The board of ordnance and fortih-
cations thinks an animus influenced
the ordnance board in its conclusions.
The ordnance board found that the Is
ham projectile fills no present or pros
pectiye necessity of the service.

vorable circumstances, to his new field
of labor On Tuesday night, the alum
nj banquet was held at WOmens' hall,
which was prettily decorated for the
occasion. The banquet was more elab-
crate than usual and one of the prin-
cipal social events of the week.
The commencement exercises today
We're attended by an audience that
more than filed the large hall. The
attendance of visitors from outside
points was unusually large. The COM
mencement address, delivered by Hon.
E. c. Wade, of Las Cruces, was on the
topic of view of life as the speaker
saw it, and was full of a strong,
healthy appeal to the youth of today
to realize the need for mental strength,
a well-equipped mind, and a determin-
alton to win the battles that are to be
encountered. Life is not a song-it is
not a poem; life is a contest; it is one
continuous struggle either against the
forces of nature or battle against our
fellow-men in the sphere of economical
1t is this that draws out
the best in human nature-this con-
stant battling for supremacy" The

OIL INDICATIONS.
It is Noy the Vicinity of Tularosa That
Has an Oil Boom,

1t is understood that an FL Paso
company will commence sinking for oil
about a mile east of Tularosa in short
time. Experts have been on the
ground. Rock has been sent off and
tested and everything tends to show
that there is oil in that vicinity and an
abundance of it. In digging trench
a few weeks ago near where the well
will be sunk, workmen came in contact
with a blue porphyry formation, which
when taken out and examined was
found to be drenched with oil--in fact
the oil was dripping off the rock. The
object in digging the trench was to
uncover spring, as the ground was
moist for hundred feet square. but
instead of pure spring water they
found oil. The workmen went back to
Tularosa disgusted with their trip. An
El Paso travelling man for a wholesale
grocery house, who was there heard of
it. He hired a team, gave the two
men $40 apiece to act as guides, Went
to the spot and located five claims, 20
acres each for company. Before he
left Tularosa he was offered $1,000 for
fourth interest which he refused. It
has caused considerable excitement in
the otherwise quiet little town, and
prospectors are passing through there
every day for the favorable locality

for your unexampled generosity" The

Denver, Colo, June 7.-Ex-Governor
Baxter of Wyoming, received a cable
gram this morning from his daughter,
Mrs. Hugh Tevis, now at Yokohoma,
announcing that her husband is dead.
The cablegram gave no further partic-
ulars. Miss Cornelia Baxter was mar
ried to Mr. Tevis of San Francisco, a
few weeks ago in California, and they
sailed for Yokohoma on a honeymoon

aire. He was about 40 years of age and
u graduate of Harvard. While at the
university he entered in a mile foot
race which he won, but in doing so ex-
erted himself so severely as to affect
his heart. The complaint there con-
tracted never left him, and he was sub
ject to attacks of heart trouble. 1t Is

gift, with deeds to his splen-
did country home on the Cliffs over
looking the sea at Monterey. This
place, one of the finest on the coast Is
now being enlarged and partially re-
built. 1t was to have been occupied by

in this city and now has been so sadly
terminated in the Orient. Tevis was

mencement week. class of four was
graduated, being the eighth class to
graduate from the college. The grad
yates, all of whom have received their
entire higher education in this insti-
tuition, are Matthew Steel, Minnie New
berry, Nora Newberry and Alfredo
Sanchez. The last named is n young
man born in this territory, and his
creditable record and work is one more
evidence of what this, and other, insti-
tutions are doing for our native born
citizens.
The events of commencement week
opened with the Baccalaureate ser
mon preached last Sunday morning in
McFie hall, of the college by the re-
firing president of the college, DR.. F.
w. Sanders. His text was 'Whatsoey-

THE new MEXICAN GETS THERE.
Awarded the Contract for the Printing of
the Agricultural College.

The New Mexican Printing company,
being the lowest bidder, was on the 5th
of the month awarded the contract to
do the printing etc, for the College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts for the
the year commencing July /, 1901.
The New Mexican secured this con-
tract. as it generally does others that it
bids on, for two reasons: First. because
it is satisfied to do the work at legiti-
mate margin OF profit, and, second. it is
so much better equipped with competent
workmen, type and machinery and the
necessary facilities for doing good and
satisfactory work. that what is cost to
other establishments in the territory for
lirst-class work will leave a small margin
of profit to it.
1t sometimes loses contract. it is
true, but when it does the successful
bidder has loss to pocket in fulfilling
his contract.

advantages may not have been such
as to permit of their entering the reg
ular college work. No limitations be-
yond an age limit of sixteen years are
placed on those desiring to take any of
these three short courses, SO that the
work is practically open to all. That
a demand exists for such courses there
can be no doubt, and their adoption
makes it possible for a large Number of
the young people of our territory, at
small cost, to attend college and fit
themselves along practical lines in
agriculture and mechanic arts so that
they may be able thereafter to apply
their knowledge to definite and practi-
cal ends. Hon. l.. Bradford Prince, the
president of the board, suggested the
adoption of these courses and has Civ
en- good deal of thought and attention
to their preparation.
The board did not make any election
of a president of the college at this
meeting, to succeed Dr. Sanders who
retires after June 80, a full board not
being present. The matter was deferr-
ed until later meeting, to be held July

at Oaks with Cap and Bells III, ridden by

The hollowness of the victory detracted
