LIVELY DEBATE
IN CONVENTION
Political Resolution Intro
duced in Miners Congress
Causes Display of Feeling
1L PASO WINS FIGHT
Delegates Unanimously Vote
in Favor Of Holding Next
Annual Session i'm Texas,

PORTLAND, Aug. 24-The 1905 ses-
sion of the American Mining Congress
will be held at Ell Paso if the board of
directors is guided in it's decision by
the voice of the delegates and members
present at the seventh annual session,
as they doubtless will be. The resolu-
tion introduced by T. A. Rickard. editor
of the Mining and Engineering Journal,
favoring that city as the place of the
next convention was adopted this after
noon by unanimous vote.
BY far the most important matter Of
the day was the somewhat acrimonius
argument that preceded the adoption
of a resolution introduced by p. H.
Steele of Alaska indorsing the efforts
Of the citizens of that territory to Sc
cure a delegation in Congress. The
resolution came back from the commit
tee with the recommendation that it be
not adopted.
DR.. Buckley, chairman of the resolu-
tions committee, precipitated the dis
cussion by his explanation of the COM
mittee's adverse report that it was the
sense of the committee that no resolu-
tions of political nature be reported
faVorably.
The subject engendered considerable
The contest of the congress will be-
gin tomorrow over the selection of
permanent headquarters. The first or
der of business will be the report of
the credentials committee. which will
show that 1903 persons are eligible to
participation in the proceedings and
may vote in accordance with the rules
of the organization.
While there is some disposition to
postpone the selection of permanent
headquarters for another year, the ma
jority is apparently firm in the con-
victiOn that the time has arrived when
the congress should cease to be a mi
gratory institution and that it should
henceforth maintain a permanent es-
tablishment for the benefit of those en-
gagged in the different branches of the
mining industry
Resolutions will be reported, includ-
ing one requesting Legislatures of the
mining States to enact laws requiring
mining engineers to pass technical ex-
amina tiOns and secure license to prac-
tice their profession.
A reception was rendered the dele
gates and visitors tonight by the citi-
Zens of Portland.
Late tonight it was announced that
proxies held by delegates to the Amer
lean Mining Congress cannot be voted
and that delegates not regularly elect
ed members of the congress will not be
allowed to vote with the members, thus
preventing cities seeking the perma-
nent headquarters of the congress from
voting large numbers of proxies and
delegates sent here for the purpose of
swelling their votes in the fight for the
greatest gifts in the hands of the con-
gress.
President Richards has named as
members of the committee to nominate
nine members Of the board of directors
Thomas Ewing of California. G.. W.
Dorsey of Nebraska. z. l. Cobb Of
Texas, John Dern of Utah and James

were on their way by midnight. The
Santa Fe officials were arranging to
transfer their trains from Ash Fork

BLACK HAND"
TAKES REVENGE
Youth Who Betrayed Secrets
of the Order to Officers
Victim of Assassin's Shot
MURDERER is CAPTURED
Mob Of Italians Storms Sta
tiOn and EndeavOrs to
WreSt Slayer From Police

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Salvator Bos-
soto, is years old. was shot to death
at his 0ather's restaurant in Park
street by Carlo Rossati, 35 years old,
to-day, because he had disclosed to
the police secrets OF the alleged black
hand" The father was knocked down
and choked into insensibility by the
slayer, who then ran down the street,
followed by great mob. Italians to
the number Of 1000 later attacked the
Eliza beth street police station, hurled
missiles st the police and prisoner,
hurting two detectives and one police
man. They would have torn the muir
derer limb from limb had it not been
for the arrival Of the reserve police
from two station houses. who were
forced TO use clubs and fists and
threaten 10 shoot.
According to the police. the murder
was deliberately planned by an organ
lied gang, which is alleged to have
sent TO Torrento for Rossati, who ar
rived here last night After his arrival
he was seen about Mulberry Bend
with Italians and because of his i'm
mense stature attracted attention.
BOssotO is an enemy Of these organ
lied gangs and his son inherited the
fathers opposition to the lawless ele-
ment Of their cOuntrymen. When not
studying music young Bossoto helped
about the restaurant Several weeks
ago he learned that the murderous
gang about Mulberry Bend had planned
to rob and murder number of miners
who were coming through New York
and who had engaged board in the
lOdging-hOuse over the BoSSoto restau-
rant. Young BOssotO went to the po-
lice and asked for protection for the
men and a detective arrested twelve
afrafra Oh
until the miners had taken a ship for
their homes. Once out Of Jail, it Is
said, the gang determined upon Bos-
sOtO's death.
Early to-day Rossati entered the
restaurant and when approached by
the elder BOssoto said he wanted moth
ing. As BossOtO was about to close
the place, he asked Rossati to leave.
The latter became insolent and refused.
Young BossOtO. who was in the
kitchen, heard his father and the man
in an argument and came out. Up to
this time the man had made no dem
onstratiOn of violence, but the instant
he saw young Bossoto he took a pistol
from his pocket, leveled il at the youth
and fired. The bullet struck the boy
between the eyes and he fell dead. Ros-
sau then, according to the police
struck the elder BOSsoto with his fist
knocking him down. and started TO run
but was captured before he had gone
two blocks.
On Sunday the Bossotos found on
their door the bridge Of death" a
cabalistic sign Of the Sicilians which
is said to be a threat Of death. The
elder Bossoto looked upon this as a
joke at the time
At the police station Rossati said lit
tie beyond declaring he shot in self
defense.

ALTHOUGH Governor Peabody of
Colorado was defeated by about
10, 900 majority, he is said to be
contemplating an attempt to hold
on to the Office he now occupies for
another term. 1t is said he will
claim that he was defeated by
fraudulent practices. In the event
of his attempting to retain his
office serious trouble is feared and
civil war is threatened. Governor
Peabody is reputed to rely upon the
support of the National guard of
the state, while the miners threat
en- to come to the support Of the
democratic candidate with arms in
their hands. The majority against
Governor Peabody is so large that
there will be little disposition to
give credence to his claim of hav-
ing been honestly elected, and it
is to be hoped that after he has
had time to get over the disap.
pointment caused by the election
he will give no countenance to q
program which must inevitably
have most deplorable results for
his state if carried into effect.
