STILL CONSIDERING THAT BILL.

Now Proposed to Separate Tariff Fea-ture from Puerto Rican Bill.

Washington, March 23 The. repub-lican caucus committee In the senatetoday authorized Senator Foraker topropose a separation of the tariff feature from the Puerto Rican gov ero--mctal bin, and attempt to pass thehouse tariff bill without amendmentThe program is to vote down allamendments if possible, and pass thebill as It came from the house withoutany changes whatever. The elementIn the republican ranks of the senatefavoring free trade with Puerto Rico,decided in conference today, to oppese any action looking to en earlyvote and to ask for further time incase the question should come up.

Washington, March 23 The senatecommittee on Interstate commercetoday granted a hearing to Judge S.H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Texas, general attorney of the Cattle Raisers' as-sociation of Texas, and T. W. Tomlln- -son, railroad representative of the Chicago live stock exchange, in supportof the pending bill for an amendmentto the inter-stat- e law. They contended that the proposed changes would beof great practical value in the correction of discriminations and preventingundue preferences on the part of railroads.

Judge Cowan also advocated, pass- -are of the bill ertendlng to forty hoursthe time in which cattle in transit maybe confined.

The senate agreed to the conferenceasked for by the house on the diplomatic and consular bill. Pettigrew'sresolution, requesting that the president, if not incompatible with publicinterest, send to the senate Itemized astatement of the expenses of the Philippine commission, together with theamounts paid the commiestoner, wasagreed to. ,

The conference report on the Puertoby Allison. Tillman, who voted for theAllison. Tillman, who voted for thebill as it passed the senate and as amember of the committee on appropri-ations voted favorably .to report It,vigorously opposed the conference re-port. He' expressed regret that thesenate conferees' yielded to the con-tention of the house conferees, particu-larly iln agreeing to enlarge the pur-pose of the measure by providing foraid and relief of the people of PuertoRico.

The debate on the 'Puerto Rican ap-propriation bill was participated In bySenators Spooner, Gallinger, Tillman.They took a wide range, covering thesouthern race question, Hawaii andthe Philippines. Spooner, took Tillman to task for the use of the expres-sions which made the colloquy quiteinteresting.

.Washington, 'March 23 The senateadopted the conference report on thePuerto Rican bill. Vote 35 to 15.

HOUSE. 'Washington, March 23 This. was

Frankfort, Ky., March 23 Seventy-fiv- eextra police officers and deputy

sheriffs guarded the outer entrance ofthe court house today while a file ofsoldiers stood at the doors and passedon the credentials of persons enteringthe room. The cause of this displayof force was the opening of the pre-liminary hearing of the Goebel sus-pects. The general public was ex-cluded by order of Judge Moore. Theprlsoners.republican secretary of stateCaleb Powers, W. H. Culton and JohnDavis, were brought' Into the courtroom. Commonwealth witnesses werecalled mumbering forty. The nameof Sergeant Golden was not In thalist Brown read thewarrant against Powers, which charg-ed him with beln accessory to themurder of William Goebel. Brownasked the dismissal of the defendanton the ground that the warrant wasdefective In not stating that the crimewas committed in Franklin .county.Judge, Moore over-rule- d the objection.

Bph Lillard, warden of the Frank-fort penitentiary, was the first witnessHe was with Senator Goebel whenshot. He looked toward the executivebuilding, and saw the second windowof the corner room slightly raised.This was the office of the secretary ofstate. He thought the shot had beentired from this room. There wereseveral other shots but they'd id not5ome from the ame place.' The first

shot was evidently- from a rflJe whilethe ethers' seemed to be from pistols.

Cress examined byBrown, Col. Lillard said he saw no-body In the room from which theshots seemed to.liave been fired, noranyone in ibhe main door or on thesteps of the building. Policemen Win- -gate Thompson was the next witness.He arrived as the crowd was carryingCoebel out of the yard. He saw arm'ed men at the entrance of the executive building, and recognized JohnDavis and Berry Howard among1 them.Detective Dee Armstrong, of Louis-ville, said that the military authorities had allowed detectives to enterthe executive building several daysafter the shooting and that he visitedVarious state officers for the purpose ofsecuring the names of persons in thebuilding St the time of the shooting.Secretary Powers refused to tell himwho were in the office of the secretaryof state at the time of the shooting

nd declined to say who was in charge,tbut said he was out of the city.

This afternoon' Judge Moore ruledthat the commonwealth must furnishthe defense the names of he witness-es yet to be heard, whether subponaedor not. County Attorney Polsgrovethen gave the names of F. WhartonGolden as a probable witness.

Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and seventy as to make within a few days a beaUhr;active person helpless and bed-ridde- with distorted limbs and shuttered nerves ; or it may be slow in

developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable;the ten-

dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic.Like other blood diseases. Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to dampor cold, want of proper

food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to developin early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether

acute or chronic,

DEMOCRATS, ATTENTION!

Call for a Democratic County Conven-tion to Select Delegates to the Al-- ,

buquerque Territorial Con-vention. a

Whereas, The democratic centralcommittee of the Territory has calleda convention to meet at Albuquerque,on the 13th day of April, 1900, for thepurpose of selecting six delegates fo

represent the Territory of New Mexi-co, at the Kansas City national con edvention which will meet oh the 4th of gasJuly, 1900; and

Whereas, Said Territorial commit-tee

theentitled the county of San Miguel

Pursuant to the Territorial call weinvite the cooperation of all demo-crats and all those conservative

of past political affil-iations who favor a'pure, economjf: andconstitutional reform In the affairs ofour nation, who favor the republicansystem f government as against theempire and who are opposed to thepolicy of the administration In debarring free trade with the United Statesto American territories by means of atariff wall.

FRIDAY EVEN'G, MARCH 23, 1900.

THE MEN FOR THE HOUR

What Las Vegas needs to give berthe proper Impetus in the channel ofprogress, is greater concert of actionon he part of her population, a widerrange of liberalism In the admlnlstra-- 1

tion of her affairs and tireless Indus- -

try in substantially Improving streetsand bridges and parks. The only wayof securing these desired results. Is byselecting the best men obtainable lorour various local offices. If you find

a man on the ticket, particularly thecHlzena' ticket, who thinks more of

the stipend attached to the office theemoluments and the honors, and thepossible amount to be made by secretintrigue and the cunning manlpuia--tion of measures to be considered aman who seeks rather to defeat can- -dldates for reasons political, selfishand personal, than he does for a broadand liberal policy that will give us

prominence through a proper demon- - Isanation of the confidence we have ln 1

our city, erase his name from tne Iballot and give your preference to theonpesition. The man who lacks the

energy or ability to make a success ofhis own affairs, is not very likely towear out his existence in the dis-- 1

charge of functional duties, or to men- -

tally improve with the burden of offl--cial responsibilities. The very argu--

ment he advances in soliciting yourendorsement Is the most potent rea--

son for ignoring his claims.Undoubtedly, much confusion will

ensue in this city on April 3d. Intrigue, wire-pullin- g and even bribery,

will be resorted to. All thisfuss and furor are entirely unneces

sary. These divisions on local mat-

ters have been gotten up by selfish,Interested parties for selfish, sordid

purposes and tihey only tend to worryand torment the people for no good

'reason.

JUDGE CALDWELL.A Minnesota lawyer writes to the

Springfield "Republican" as follows,of the man who is now most talked offor the nomination onthe Bryan ticket:

"Judge Caldwell is sixty-seve- n years'of age, was appointed to the circuit'bench upon the representation of all'the republican United States sena-'to- rs

and upon the strenuous and in-sistent advice of Judge Brewer. He'is a man vigorous physically and

was able to withstand the'importunities of Collis P. Hunting-don and his gang, and is an honorable,'able. Christian gentleman and learnedjurist." ,

The presence of scarlet fever inLas Vegas in a couple of sporadiccases, emphasizes the necessity of astrict quarantine of any deadly con-tagion. The parents of "sick childrenshould scrupulously avoid endangeringothers by coming in contact withthem. In other caes lnjthls city,there has been absolutely no pretensemade of taking precautions againstthe spread of any contagious disease.Those constantly In contact withsick children, have gone about theirusual duties and seemed utterly care-less of the consequences which mightensue to other people. An ounce ofprevention is always worth a, poundOf cure. For this reason, If in theJudgment of the physicians of the city,the nature of the disease at any time,warrants it, rigid quarantine shouldbe enforced in every Instance, so thatisolated cases may not breed an epi-demic, embracing all the children lnthe city.

According to the Silver City "Inde-pendent's" reporter on the ground, noopening was left at the Terrltorralconvention in Socorro for any

resolutions, all sugges-tions being compelled to be submittedto the committee. Instead of themembers of the committee being al-lowed a voice in the preparation of theresolutions, that power was delegatedto Messrs. Bursum, Spiess and Bart-le- tt,

who were the whole thing. Sev-eral vest pocket resolutions fromGrant county, one declaring againstsending federal officials as delegates,being aimed at Governor Otero, neversaw the light of day. So barefacedwas the arbitrary actions of the gov-ernor's representatives, that the op-position in the party to that officialwere greatly increased, the delegatesfeeling that they were merely playingthe part of tools, to the par-ty leaders.

The opposition to the Puerto RIcaxibill does not come from the democratsof the try alone, but from therepubHcans as well. The presidenthaa attempted to set aelde the congtitutkm and to establish an empireover our recentjy acquired terrltor--i but jn doing this he has misjudgepd the sentiment of the American peo- -

e ln gard to the movement. Itmattera not now whether or not theeenate paggea the bill, for the damagena8 aiready been done.

New York Is considering the enact- -

ment of a law requiring licenses formarriages, "as is the case ln Penneyi- -vania and ought to be ln New Mexico,ajgo. a Mil for such a law, drawn bya committee appointed by the diocesanconvention of the Protestant Episco- -

pai church, has been reported favor-

ahly by the assembly committee onjudiciary. The committee in its feport called attention to the fact thatthe state of Pennsylvania has a licenselaw, and eays the consequence or ef-feet of this law Is that in that statefoolish and rash marriages are to agreat extent prevented.

Iola, Kansas, is to have a waterworks and electric liKht plant At aspecial election $80,000 in bonds wasvoted for this purpose. Out of a voteof 832 cast, the bonds receiveda majority of 222. Of this money,$70,000 will be used for the waterplant. This is a victory for municipal ownership. The work will bepushed to rapid completion.

It is said that E. B. Jewett, of Wichita, Kansas, Is the champion office-hol- der of that state and his showing mustentitle him to-th- e record, even overthe republican, office-holdin- g politicians in New Mexico. Jewett is indeed a jewel in thia line. He hasbeen in office for nearly twenty-fou- r

years and Is yet in no notion of eitherdying or resigning.

SHEEP INTERESTS.

Good Work Done for Them by theNew Mexico Sanitary Board.

The annual report of the sheep sanitary board shows that the boardis doing valuable work for the greatIndustry which adds so much to thewealth of the Territory and employsthousands of people here. The sheepare in much better condition than theyhave ever been in New Mexico, ow-ing to the compliance of sheep owners with the regulations of the boardrequiring two general dippings, oneAugust 15th and the other December15th of each year.
