British vessel for some time, and a
little later opened fire. The steam
capitated bodies of her skipper. and
third hand have been brought to
Hull. The boatswain and other men,
] bers of the crew, who are understood
to be seriously wounded, are on board
the mission ship. The only slightly
wounded member of the crew has ar
rived at Hull.

line and raked above deck. Skipper
Smith and Third Hand Leggott had
their heads carried away by shot,

OPPOSED TO TENTS.
The Albuquerque City Council Objects
to Them-Repairs on the Alameda
Dyke.

The city council of Albuquerque al
it's session last evening decided to
spend $1,000 to strengthen the Alamo
da dyke to prevent the city from De-
ing flooded by the Rio Grande River
as was the case last spring. The Al
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
Company had offered to expend s5,-
900 toward improvements on the dyke
but the improvements outlined by the
railroad were deemed too expensive
and the offer was not accepted as its
acceptance would have entailed a
much larger expenditure by the city
and Bernalillo County and neither are
in position financially to spend more
money. The city council also ordered
the drafting of q resolution to prohibit
the erection of tents within the city
limits.

At Silver City Tomorrow Will Be
Well Attended and Very
Lively.
CANDIDATES
FOR DELEGATES
Hearst Men Will Make Strong Efforts
to Secure instructions for Their
Favorite..-Fine Decorations and
Social Events by Citizens.

Silver City, N. NJ, April 1.-THE
Democratic territorial convention
which meets here Wednesday, April
Is. promises to be one of the best at
tended gatherings of the party ever
held 10 the Territory. Reports received
from the different counties are to the
effect that in the majority of cases
there will be solid delegations, and ev-
en- those from the north, notwithstand-
ing the long distances, will be well
represented.
The interest which is being taken is
due to two causes. In the first place
several Of the counties have endorsed
"favorite sons" for delegateship hon
ors, and the contest in this connection
will be quite lively. This is especial
ly true in the Fifth Judicial District,
where the candidates are James G..
Fitch Of Socorro, J. e. Wharton, of
Lincoln, and J. r. McGaffy of Roswell.
Other aspirants are w. S. Hopewell,
from the Third District; Summers
Burkhart, from the Second District;
Judge NJ B. Laughlin, from the First
District; Hon. H. B. Ferguson, for
delegate at large, and several others.
The principal contest in the conven-
tion will come up over the question of
instructing the delegation in favor of
Hearst Several of the counties have
pledged their delegates to this end
but in the majority of instances,
strong Hearst resolutions have been
passed without specific Instructions. 1t
is understood that the Hearst men
will be here in force and will make the
strongest kind of fight for the delega-
ton, while many of the leaders will
maintain the position that the dele
sat, j lnas ..uC be committed 70 any
candidate at this time and will try to
conciliate the Hearst supporters by for
NAL resolutions.
The people of Silver City and Grant
County have made ample provisions
for the entertainment of their visit
ors. Arrangements have been made
with the Santa Fe by which straight
passenger and Pullman service will be
had between Deming and Silver City,
instead of the regular mixed train.
The convention will be held in Morrill,
Opera House, which is being appropri-
ately decorated for the occasion. On
the evening of the 18th a public meet
ing is to be held and addressed by such
speakers as ]. H. Crist, Antonio Lu-
cero, Judge N. B. Laughlin, Hon. H. B.
FERGUSON, H. M. Dougherty and 9TH
ers. The parlors of the, San Vicente
Hotel have been fitted up and will be
used as club rooms for the delegates
during their stay A dance will also
be given in Newcomb Hall on the eve
ming of the 18th. The business men
of the town are decorating their stores
in honor of the event, and nothing will
be left undone to extend generous hos
pitality.

LUNA COUNTY DEMOCRATS
In Their Convention Saturday Last De
cIared Strongly for Hearst-Favor
Single Statehood for New
Mexico.

The Democratic convention of Luna
County was hello at Deming on the 9tl
day of April, 1904 Four precincts
were represented. Permanent Chair
man John Corbett; permanent secre
tary ]. Riley George
The following were elected dele
gates to the Democratic territorial
convention: A. ]. Clark, J. A. Mahoney
and John Corbett.
The following are the resolutions on
statehood and on the candidacy OF
William Randolph Hearst adopted by
the convention:
We favor the admission of New
Mexico into the Union as a sovereign
state, and heartily endorse the posi-
ton, which our national and territor
ial platforms have always maintained
and for which our party, both terri
torial and national have ever fought
We cannot endorse the double-faced
policy of the Republican party on this
question, but such leads us to the con
clusion that statehood will not be Civ
en- to New Mexico except at the hands
of the great Democratic party.
We wish to express our most sincere
appreciation of the loyal friendship
William Randolph Hearst has shown
in behalf of the people of this Terri
tory and for the interest he has taken
in the general welfare of the people
throughout the west and for his heroic
and unparalleled fight against the Goa
trust in behalf of the common people
throughout our great nation.
We believe that his nomination tC
the high office of President of the Uni
| ted States would be most gratifying tc
our people and to the people of the
Democratic party throughout the ma
ton. In him we would have Presi
dent, who has proven himself a devot
ed friend to the people and fearless
enemy of fraud and corruption in higf
places. One who has ever stood fol
right and fearlessly denounced the
wrong, and who as our chief w>.Nld ev
er be mindful of the interests OF the
people.

Made by the Former Against the Rec
ord of the Colorado Senator Who
Retorts With Spirit.

Washington, April PA sensation
al incident occurred in the Senate to
day during the consideration of the
postoffice appropriation bill. Senator
Teller was speaking and had made ar
illusion to a letter of General Thomas
regarding the appointments in Chica
go in which Secretary Shaw was criti
cized. Senator Hopkins entered the
chamber and became engaged with
Senator Teller in a coloquy over the
matter, saying he knew enough about
the matter to know that the statement
of the Colorado Senator was untrue
Senator Teller replied that his infor.
nation was as good as any information
obtained from the slums Senator
Hopkins retorted that he was not
afraid of anything in his own record
and intimated that the Colorado Sena-
tor could not say as much. 81 will
say" remarked Senator Teller, "that
after more than 25 years of public SER
vice that it is gratuituous insult" "
Senator Hopkins tried to make reply
but Senator Teller declined to be fur
ther interrupted until the Senator
from Illinois could acquire the man
ners of the Senate. He then went on
with his speech.

j. F. Wenborne Takes Look at the
Land to Be Reclaimed BY the San

Company.

j. f. WenbOrne, the contractor, re-
turned last evening from two weeks
trip to San Juan County, most of that
time being spent in looking over the
line of the proposed canal AMI irriga-
ton works of the San Juan Canal and
Development Company, in which ex-
Governor l.. B. Prince, Engineer Jay
Turley and other Santa Fe people are
interested Mr. Wenborne is enthusi-
astic over the resources of San Juan
County and predicts a rapid and sub
stantial growth for that part of New
Mexico. He reports that Jay Turley
and Walter NJ Danburg are finishing
and that it will be only a short time
before actual construction work will be
commenced About 10000 acres of
as fine land as the sun shines upon
will be reclaimed by these works"
says Mr.. Wenborne. Others who were
looking over that part of San Juan
County, with the view of locating, ex-
pressed themselves to Mr.. Wenborne
in glowing terms about the country
and the climate and said that they had
made up their minds fully to take up
their residence under the proposed ir
rigation system in the near future. The
San Juan River at the point where the
headgates for the large canal will be
built, has a greater volume of water
than the Rio Grande River at Embudo.
Mr.. Wenborne says that while fishing
and duck shooting are fine at present
his lack of time prevented him from
laying in supply of fish stories. The
settlers of the county are busy at
present with spring planting and have
commenced shearing their sheep. TAX
en- all in all, this promises to be a very
year for the residents in
the northwestern portion of New
Mexico.

FISHES CONTAIN WHEAT.
This Fact Thought to Verify the Fear
That the Lamorna, Ladened With
That Grain Was Lost.

Port Townsend, April pa some
what unusual verification of the fear
that the British ship Lamorna was
dashed to pieces on the shores of Van
of March is presented in the fact that
all the fish being caught in the neigh
borhood by the Indians are found to
contain wheat. AS the vessel was
loaded with wheat even the most con-
fident are losing hope.
