DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Plot to Wreck Home of Assistant
Manager Of the Cananea Copper
Company Successful.

Cananea, Mexico, May IA dyna-
mite explosion undoubtedly the result
of carefully planned and executed
plot Saturday night wrecked the home
of Harry Kirk, assistant manager OF
the mining division Of the Cananea
Consolidated Copper Company, and al.
most fatally injured Mr.. Kirk.
Kirk, who is the brother OF James
Kirk, vice president and manager of
the Cananea Copper Company mining
division was alone at his home at the
time of the explosion. He was rem.
dered unconscious and several hours
later was taken, still senseless, from
the demolished ruins of his home. He
was taken to the hospital and revived
when 1t was discovered that his in
juries were not serious. The general
opinion is that the attempt was made
by several Mexicans who have just
been discharged from the employ of
the company, but there is no proof to
sustain this theory. Kirk was one of
the best liked men in town and the
outrage has created considerable ex.
citement.

Fl. Andrews, No. 1888 to grant to the
city of Albuquerque section of pub

favorably reported by the proper COM
mittee and will likely be enacted into
law. The report reads
The committee on public lands, to
whom was referred the bill (H. R.
1850 granting to the town of Albu-
Querque a section of land for public
purposes, having had the same under
consideration respectfully recommend
the passage in lieu thereof of the ac-
companying bill, entitled Granting
land to the city Of Albuquerque for
public purposes" which bill is recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Inte-
rior in the accompanying letter to your
committee.
The city of Albuquerque has urged
upon the committee the passage of a
bill to give 1t more space for public
park purposes. 1t has been the Gus
tom and general practice Of Congress
since 1895, to grant land to cities
without price; in fact, as is shown
by the letter of the commissioner OF
the general land Office, which Is in
corporated as a part of this report
land has been given to many Of the
cities in the western states. The
commissioner Of the general land of
flee, who drew the text of the accom-
panying bill, appears to believe thai
| the bill in this form is much more
satisfactory than was the bill pro
posed, and in this view the commit
tee concur.
