TAMMANY IS RECOGNIZED.
Its Delegates to Be Placed
the Preliminary and
Other Rolls-
Upon
THE REGULAR ORGANIZATION.
The Convention Voted to Allow the State
Democracy Delegates One-Fifth Vote
Each—Resolution Passed By State De-
mocracy to Not Accept the Offer.
Syracuse, Sept. 25.—Chaotic
and disturbing to the leaders who
counseled harmony in the demo-
cratic ranks, is the situation this
morning. The action early today
of the committee on credentials was
a surprise. Here is the resolution
adopted: '‘Tammany Hall is en-
titled to recognition in all future
conventions as regular, and its del-
egates are to be placed upon prelim-
inary and other rolls thereof and in
appointing of inspectors of election
and every other way in which ques-
tion of party organization may
arise; said Tammany Hall organiza-
tion shall be recognized and seated
as regular organization of the party
in New York county, but in the in-
terest of harmony at this time, the
committee recommends, subject to
aforesaid conditions, sitting dele-
gates, as well as delegates known as
state democracy, be admitted tocon-
vention with one-fifth ol the vote to
each state democracy delegate and
four-fifths of vote to each Tammany
against E. S. Crocker, a prominent
stock man on trial for two weeks
at Evanston charged with murder
in January, of his partner, Harvey
Booth.
A POOR SHOT.
Kansas City, Sept. 25.—A spe-
cial to the Star from Norton, Kan-
sas, says: Morgan Heaton made a
desperate attempt this morning to
kill J. M. Craig, Plattsmouth,
Neb., banker, and failing turned
the revolver on Cashier W. T.
Shoemaker of the Norton state
bank. Craig was one of the de-
fendants in the case recently
brought by Heaton’s wife, which
was decided against Heaton. The
feeling between the two men has
been bitter. At nine o’clock today
they met on a prominent street.
Heaton fired three shots at Banker
Craig. None took effect. Heaton
ran to the Norton state bank and
shot at .Cashier Shoemaker. His
aim again proved untrue and he
was arrested before he could fire
again.
ON THE WAR PATH.
Hermosillo, Mex., Sept. 25.—In-
formation reaches here of a fight be-
tween a scouting party of ranchmen
and twenty Yaqui Indians in the
mountains southeast of here. The
Indians had burned a number of
ranch buildings and driven off the
stock. A hand to hand conflict re-
sulted in the killing of five Indians
and the wounding of several others,
three ranchmen and five wounded.
The body of an American was
found a day or two ago by a Mex-
ican boy 15 miles this side of Sa-
bina!, near the road. Tne body had
been there for several weeks, and

Hall delegate.” . . ,
On the question “shall delegates1 ';he co>'otes |ad f *he tace aud
be admitted with one-third of vote
each,” the vote was 22 for, 27
against; Senator Hill voted no. E.
J. York then offered a resolution
that state democracy delegations be
given seats with oue fifth of a vote
each. This was carried by thirty
two to seventeen. Senator Hill voted
aye. The state democracy met and
Everrett P. Wheeler offered a reso-
tion, claiming their vote entitled
them as loyal democrats to full re-
cognition aud they should not ac-
cept the offer. This was adopted
unanimously arid the committee ap-
pointed to go before the convention
refusing representation given them.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild endorsed
this action.
The delay in opening the > 03-
vention was caused by a conference
for the purpose of trying to persuade
John Boyd Thacfc-r of Albany,
who is personally friend;y to both
sections of the party to accept the
nomination for comptroller-hip.
Thacher refuse.] absolutely at first.
Then began a series of arguments
by the leaders to induce him to fall
in line. It was 11:25 when the
gavel feil and the credential com-
mittee re-port was called for. A re-
solution giving the New York state
democracy one tilth representation
was adopted. The state democracy
men left the hall.
As the Grace Fairchild delegates
left the hall they were alternately
cheered and hissed. When the tumult
subsided Ex-Governor Flower was
made permanent chairman and de-
livered his address, in which he
said the republican party in New
York betrayed the people. He pre-
dicted a democratic success of the
national election next year. Judge
Teller, of Auburn, was named
unanimously for judge of court of
appeals. General Horatio C. King,
secretary of state, John B. Judson
of Fulton, comptroller, Norton
Chase of Albany, attorney general
IJ C. Dow, of Schoharie, state
treasurer.
The platform affirms the following
principles: Home rule, economy
public expense, honesty iu public
office, equal and honest enforcement
of all laws, equal taxation. Charles
S. Fairchild, of New York, said
when he left the convention today:
“The Associated Press can an-
nounce that we will have a ticket of
our own on all local issues.”
"Will you affiliate with repub-
licans?”
"I don’t know. As yet we have
not made a decision.”
CONVICTED.
Denver, September 25.— A
special to the Times from Cheyenne
Wyo.,says: A verdict of murder in
the first degree was returned today
)ody so badly that identification

ATTACKED BY INDIANS.
Nogales, Arizona, Sept. 25.—In
he Yaqui River Valley, in the
southern part of the Mexican state
of Sonora, General Tiburcio Otero,
retired officer of the Mexican army,
was attacked by Yaqui Indians and
so severely wounded his life is de-
spaired of.
FREE FRUIT.
Denver, September 25.—A spe-
cial to the Times from Canon City
Colo., says: The Denver chamber
of commerce train arrived this morn-
ing bringing Lieut. Governor
Brush and party of seventy. At
noon the number of visitors is
estimated at 12.000. At 1 p. m.
the free distribution ofone hundred
thousand pounds of fruit began.
HOPKINS APPOINTED.
Washington, Sept. 25.—R. P.
Hopkins wa^ today appointed post-
master at Picacho, Lincoln county,
X. M., vice Win. R. Riley resigned.
FAST TIME.
Syracuse, N. . Y., Sept. 25.—All
records for speed in long distance
travel by railroad were broken this
morning by the New York World’s
special train, which carried the
morning’s edition from New York
to this place Distance between
Albany and Syracuse 148 miles, was
covered in 130 minutes, an average
of 68.3 miles per hour.
NOTHING IN THE REPORT.
Peoria, Ills., Sept. 25.—F. P.
Sargent, grand master of the broth-
erhood of locomotive firemen, says
hejlias no information of any at-
tempt of the Wabash railroad to get
rid of members of the brotherhood
or any other organization, and he
does not think there is anything in
the report.
11I.ACKBUKN HOPEFUL.
Kansas City, Sept. 25.—A specia
to the Star from Mexico, Mo., says:
Captain C. T. Allen, of this city,
has received a letter from Unitec
States Senator Blackburn of Ken-
tucky in which he says: “When
I first entered the race for re election
to United States senate, things
looked shady. Now I am reason-
ably sure of winning. Things look
brighter every day,”
A 11IG BLAZE.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 25.—A fire
at Carnegie, Pa., five miles west of
here, this morning, destroyed Wal-
dee & Foster’s extensive flour mill
Martins lumber yard and damaged,
several other building, entailing a
loss of $60,000. The fire spread so
rapidly it was feared the town would
be wiped out, but the Pittsburg de-
partment promptly responded and
soon had the fire under control.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 25.—A
petition for writ mandamus to com-
pel State Comptroller Finlay to
issue a prize fight license was filed
with Justice Denman of the supreme
court this morning but it will hard-
ly be acted on until the first Mon-
day next month when court meets
at Tyler. Mandamus papers were
also served on Tax Collector Wil-
liamson to compel him to issue the
prize fight license. The case is
brought by county officers to test
the law. Should the decision con-
cur with Judge Hurt’s opinion, it is
believed that the fight will take
place. Major Oppenheimer said he
did not believe the military would
be used to stop the fight.
REACHING A CRISIS.
Chicago, Sept. 25.—Special to
the Tribune from Havana Sept. 19
says: "Armed parties of revolu-
tionists are already in the province
of Matanzas and actually within 75
miles of Havana. If, as said, they
lave quantities of arms and ammu-
nition there concealed, aud are
really advancing in force, the crisis
is not far off. Yesterday 85 per-
sons were arrested within
few hours aud confined
iu Mora castle. Rumors were soon
flying around that a great conspi-
racy had been discovered and the
initial step was to have been an
attack with dynamite on the steam-
er Santa Barbara, having a batal-
iou of 1,000 men on board. The
sequel came at midnight, when
;here was a frightful accident in the
iarbor, the sinking of the Spanish
cruiser, Barcaztegui, in which forty
one lives were lost.

The reputation of El Paso as a
health resort Is already flrmly estab-
lished. Thousands of Invalids have
found here the relief which they have
sought vainly elsewhere. Especially
is this true in all cases of pulmonary
disease, and there are today living in
El Paso hundreds of people, In good
health, engaged in business and en-
joying life, who declare that had
they not come to this genial clime
they would either have died long ago
or continued to drag out a miserable
existence. There is not a winter but
numerous Invalids who have sought
other health resorts come on to El
Paso by advice of the physicians at
those resorts. They come from Col-
orado and Northern New Mexico be-
cause It is too cool there and they
come from Southern California be-
cause it is too damp there. Here they
find a dry, warm, sunny climate, with
almost every condition required to in-
sure healthfulness.
Some years ago Dr. Alfred S.
Houghton of Chicago wrote that after
a thorough examination and careful
study of the subject, be found El
Paso and San Diego, Cal., the two
places most favorable to all persons
afflicted with pulmonary diseases.
Following is a portion of a table of
statistics of “annual climatic changes”
which Dr. Houghton prepared, and
upon which he based his conclusions:
chltls, and also with regard to others
whom I met that whereas at Las Vegas
and Santa Fe (at an altitude respec-
tively of C700 and 7100 feet) we suf-
fered from dyspnoea and had to walk
slowly, like confirmed invalids, the de-
scent to El Paso enabled ns to walk
briskly and soon made us feel equal
to running a foot race.
The soil Is sandy and very porous.
The temperature is hot In summer
and mild In winter. For those who
have the means of traveling it would
be folly to summer in El Paso, and yet
the dryness of the atmosphere Is such
that a temperature of 100 to 105 de-
grees In the shade Is more endurable
than that of 70 and 85 degrees In Phil-
adelphia. Sunstroke Is unknown, in
spite of a maximum temperature of
110 degrees in summer, and those
who are compelled to remain there do
not perish with the heat, nor suffer
much, If any, more than the Inhabi-
tants of' Eastern cities.
But it Is the winter temperature to
which I wish to call attention, as well
as the small amount of rainfall and
the small number of cloudy days, these
conditions osmbinlng to constitute the
charm of the wluter, during which
season the invalid can walk, or even
sit out of. doors, almost every day.
Combined with the mild temperature
there is, as I have before remarked,
a bracing tonic quality to the air, due,
perhaps, In part, to Its rarity aud dry-
ness, which I have failed to find In
the air of Florida, of the Gulf, or even
of San Antonio, Texas.
In view of its mild winter climate,
Its altitude, the great dryness of the
atmosphere and soil, and the remark-
able preponderance of clear and fair
days, especially during the winter and
spring months, I think It must be con-
ceded that El Paso presents many of
the requisites of a wluter resort for
persons suffering from pulmonary
complaints. Nor is this merely a theo-
retical conclusion. It Is confirmed by
the experience of a considerable num-
ber of asthmatic, bronchitic, and phth-
isical patients who have already tested
the virtues of this climate. Some of
these 1 met myself during a stay
some weeks last February and March,
and with regard to others I was in-
formed by the physicians of that place
and the army officers of Fort Bliss.

* Degree.
In his report Dr. Houghton uses the
fallowing language:
“The number of inches of rain and
snow will give corroborative testi-
mony as to the dryness, etc. In a
place where the air is dry and the
sunshine clear and steady, wide range
of daily temperature or sudden
chnJfcos of heat are not only not un-
pleasant nor injurious, but often
agreeable and beneficial from the
stimulation they create, while moder-
ate variation of equability in a damp,
muggy climate Is debilitating in tlie
extreme.
“The dew point in El Paso is 11 de-
grees below the mean of minimum
temperature, and 27 degrees below the
mean of annual temperature, while at
San Diego it is only 3 degrees below
the mean of minimum temperature,
and 10 degrees below the mean of
annual temperature.
“At El Paso the mean of relative
and absolute humidity is also much
less than at San Diego, while Jack-
sonville is behind not only both of
these places, but also Ueu)'‘-r\ .
“The average rainfall is 36 inches.
At El Paso it Is 11 inches. The aver-
age between dew point and mean of
minimum temperature is 5% degrees.
At El Paso it is 11 degrees. The aver-
age mean annual temperature is 56
degrees. At El Paso it is (54 degrees,
but. the seasonal average at El Paso
Is 50 degrees.
“In every particular, except spring
winds, El Paso shows a better record
than San Diego, and far belter than
Jacksonville or Savannah. The only
place on the Atlantic coast that ap-
proaches El Faso is Asheville, N. C.,
and for that place I have no seasonal
figures.”
Dr. Houghton further states that
the altitude of El Paso is 3760 feet,
while that of San Diego Is 67 feet
only, El Paso being neither too high
nor too low.
EL TASO’S PURE AIR.
To the American Climatological asso-
ciation I)r. E. W. Schauffler, of Kansas
City, made the following report:
El Paso is situated at the extreme
western boundary of Texas, in that
tongue of land which Is bounded on
the north and wdst by New Mexico
and on the south by the Rio Grande.
Its longitude Is 106 degrees west, and
Its latitude 42 degrees north, the lon-
gitude being the same as that of Santa
Fe, N. M., and the latitude the same
as that of Savannah, Ga., and San
Diego, Cal. It is 340 miles south of
Santa Fe, constituting the soul Ian
terminus of the Atchison, lopis
Santa Fe railroad, and the mi.i '
the rond connects with the
Central railroad. Three >tl i
lines—two from the east and in.
California—center here, bh. ’in* i
the Mexican trade, and thus a ha I w <
five years ago a sleepy little scUli-men
under the wing of Fort Bliss ha
tsiw become an active, euterprMr
itrvn of some 5000 or 6006 int>"' r *•>*’'
with much actual business and bound-
less expectations.
The mountain ranges of New Mexico
and old Mexico abutting on the river at
this point give variety aud beauty to
the landscape and contribute that ex-
hilornting quality of “mountain air”
which, combined with the mild tem-
peruture of the winter season, const!
tutes the charm of the El Paso climate.
The altitude Is 3760 feet above the
sea level—high enough to be pure and
bracing, aud yet not high enough to
embarrass tlie heart’s actioq and in-
crease the dyspnoea of those affected
with pulmonary complaints. I found
It true with regard to myself while
suffering from a severe attack of bron-
This testimony was the same that Is
usually obtained at such places—viz:
that the patient soon begins to loose
his cough, to Improve In appetite, and
to gain in weight and strength.
Notwithstanding tlie newness of the
place, the accommodations of El Paso
are very fair. There are several quite
large aud respectable hotels, there Is a
good market, and the price of living is
not high. Although in Texas, it is a
very wide awake Yankee town, with
an elegant court house, public school
building, numerous churches, etc. One
great charm to the visitor or sojourner
is the proximity of Old Mexico, just
across the Rio Grande, where within
an easy walk or drive, he finds the
city of Paso del Norte, surrounded by
a well Irrigated and cultivated coun-
try, teeming with a kindly and indus-
trious population. For myself, I
never wearied of watching their
strange seventeenth century methods
of living and working.
