ROOSEVELT And FAIRBANKS
Republican National Convention
Names the Winning Ticket and
Adopts Strong Platform,
NOMINATED AMID WILD ENTHUSIASM.
For the Second Time the Party Is
Unanimous In Its Choice Of
Candidates.

Roosevelt and Fairbanks are
the nemes that will head the re-
publican national ticket this fall.
For the second time in its his
tory the republican party was
unanimous in its choice of its
candidates for the highest houors
America has to bestow.
At the conclusion of the speech
of ex-Goveruor Black of New
York naming President Roose-
welt to succeed himself, for twenty
five minutes a pandemonium of
enthusiasm possessed the 10000
people in Chicago's great coli
scum. Scarcely less enthusiasm
was aroused by the naming of
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana for
the vice-presidency.
The platform adopted reiterates
the party's allegiance to the prin-
ciples of that republican policy
under which America has in the
last fifty years achieved an uu-
paralleled degree of prosperity
and greatness.

next President and Vice-Presi-

mittee on resolutions. Mr.. Bursum

time very much of a diplomat.
He is one of the most successful
of the younger men in public life
in this Territory, and he is a
growing man. Putting him on
the committee on resolutions was
in accordance with the wishes of
the Republicans of the Territory
and in recognition of his efficient
party services as we'll as of his
fitness for it.-Santa Fe New

NEW SCHOOL OF MINES CATALOGUE.
Shows a Gratifying Attendance Last
Year, Very Large Percentage
Being from New Mexico.

The new catalogue of the
School of Mines just out from the
press of the Santa Fe New Mex
lean makes a gratifying showing
concerning the attendance and
the character of the work done
last year at that popular and
growing institution.
The total number of students
enrolled at the School last year
was 103. OF these, all but 18
were from points in New Mexico.
Nonresident technical students
paid tuition and other fees
amounting to about $50 each, SO
that a considerable item of the
revenue of the School was from
that source. These nonresident
students serve we'll t. advertise
the institution outside of New
Mexico, and it is reasonable to
presume that large portion of
them will settle in the territory
and become very instrumental ia
developing its resources.
An especially gratifying fea-
ture of the attendance at the
School of Mines is found in the
fact that of the total number of
students last year approximately
one-fourth were Spanish-speak-
ing boys and young men. This
fact is gratifying because it
amply refutes the statement some
times made that the Spanish
speaking element of New Mexico's
population IS not disposed to
avail itself of educational op-
portnuities.
All in all. the New Mexico
School of Mines made a showing
last year that will challenge
comparison with that of any
other educational institution Of
the territory. There is abundant
reason to believe that next years
showing will be still better.

already been incorporated to build

ported that prominent citizen

These three companies are al

SHEPARD'S

BY FIRE.

A first class stop OF what promised to
be bad fire was made by the ire de-
partment at Shepard & Co.'S store this
morning.
John Moan. the night watchman. while
making his round on the third floor Of the
big store at I:5o o'clock, discovered smoke
and promptly sent In an alarm from box
as.
The Protectives being tn. first to reach
the store, spread covers on the second
and ground floors. and so thoroughly that
the water damage was confined to the
corset and lingerie department.
The fire was under the floor OF the third
story, and ran distance of about 40
feet between two of the large supporting
beams. good deal of water wse used.
and use dwell. the flames being literally

several hours, and 1t was nearly 2 o'clock

POSSIBLE CHANGES.
Probable Reduction In Force to CuTtall Run
nIng EYpenses.

The policy OF retrenchment Is becoming
manifest daily under the new management
OF tho N. T.. ". II & r. r. r. and the Ia
test rumor Is a reduction IN the number OF
brakemen, each train TO be run with one
brakeman less than heretofore,
Superintendent whaley OF the worces-
ter division says he has not as yet receiv-
ed orders to that effect but II was possf-
bic that the working force might be re-
duced.
The traffic had been lighter since the
first Of January, he said, and a smaller
number OF men could handle the trains
than had been necessary during the busy
season The men, however. would not be
discharged, but simply laid off until they
were needed again. In this way the crews
on some OF the larger freight trains might
be reduced. and IL was possible that one
brakeman might be taken off some OF the
passenger trains. The reduction In num-
bers would not be general. however and
on this division. ne said. nothing had been
determined upon as yet.
