STATEHOOD BILL.
Provides for Constitutional Conven-
tion Of Delegates to be Held in
Santa Fe.
CERTAIN SAFEGUARDS.

New Mexico will go republican next
fall. and Delegate ROdey, in all proba-
bility. will be reelected TO congress, 4"
said Edward w. Fox, register of the
United States land office at Clayton.
n. M. Mr. Fox is registered at the
Albany hotel and yesterday afternoon
spoke of the political situation in his
territory and told of the prosperous
summer awaiting not only the stock
men but the territory. as a whole.
THE efforts of Delegate Rodey to-
ward obtaining statehood for New
Mexico" said Mr.. Fox, have been well
received, and although it is doubtful
whether we will be taken into the sis
terhood of states this year, we are well
satisfied by the fight made in congress.
We are solidly republican in the terri
tory and those people who have said in
congress that we have not a republi-
can majority are badly mistaken. The
territory now goes with the admins
tration by a comfortable majority, but
should it be created a state New Mex
leo would be overwhelmingly republi-
can. Rodey ought to be reelected, and
believe, although there will be many
aspirants for the place, that he will be.
AS for Jerry Simpson and the talk that
he will become politically active, we
have enough timber of our own; we
don't need carpet baggers.
Governor Otero has made an excel
lent governor. The judiciary has Civ
en- the utmost satisfaction, every one
being a capable man.
1T is surprising to me the number OF
people coming into the territory to
live. The records Of the Clayton land
office will show fully third more than
the highest former record. Many OF
them are coming. settling along the
Rock Island road and homesteads are
being taken up rapidly

SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Battle Between Officers and Men
They Seek to Take at San
Lorenzo.
ONLY ONE PERSON INJURED.

The little village of San Lorenzo, on
the Mimbres river, was the scene of a
rather exciting affray last Saturday
night, or rather Sunday morning, and
the only wonder is that there are not
fatalities to report, says the Silver
City Independent
There was big Mexican bale there
on the evening named which was
largely attended from different por-
tions of the river Everything went
along nicely until near daybreak Sun
day morning, when some trouble arose
largely due TO some of the participants
indulging too freely in liquor Deputy
Sheriff Fautino Olguin, with a posse,
went to arrest one of the offenders
whereupon one Bartole Sais, who was
friend of the man the officers were
after, interfered and refused TO allow
the officers to proceed. An attempt
was then made to take Sais into Gus
tody. Sais by this time had secured a
Winchester. and opened fire on Olguin
and his assistants. The officers re-
turned the fire, and a fusilade ensued,
number of shots being exchanged on
both sides.
Fortunately il was very dark at the
time. and with the single exception of
a bullet which struck the magazine of
Sais' gun, the bullets went wild. The
shot which struck the gun bursted it,
knocking il from his hands and putting
an end TO the fight, as Sais thereupOn
tried TO run away, but was oyertaken
and clubbsd into submission. Sais was
quite badly bruised up, as in addition
to receiving a number OF wounds on
the head as a result of the clubbing at
the hands of the officers, fragments of
the bullets struck him in the arms and
hands.
Public sentiment is with Deputy Oh
guin. who had no other course TO pur-
sue than the one he did.

Republic and other patriotic societies
in proper observance of the day. and

ers give expression to your reverence

Eruption Was Violent.

Fort De France Martinique. May 81.
-Yesteday's eruption from Mont Pelee
was violent in the extreme. Colossal
columns of volcanic matter were eject
ed from the volcano, which rained
huge red-hot boulders, many feet in
diameter, on the ruins of st. Pierre
and the country near it, from an enor.
nous elevation and with fearful veloc
ity. The volcanic clouds advanced un-
til they reached Fort De France.
The spectacle was appalling and be-
yond description. The whole popula
tion of Fort De France was thrown
into frenzy and panic, during which
soldiers, police, men and women, all
terrified, frantic, weeping and praying
rushed through the streets. while over
head the glowing, fiery clouds rolled
relentlessly and rained down stones
still hot, and ashes.
The ruins left standing at st. Pierre
after the first great disaster are nearly
raZed. Millions of tons of ashes cover
the ruined city. Further south smaller
stones destroyed the houses, but the
brave villagers stuck to their homes.
