.Special to the Herald
Silvek City, N. M., December 15.
Fire this morning destroyed the Skelly
block in this city, in which was
located the United States postoflice and
three stores. A defective Hue was the
cause of the conflagration, and for
time a goodly portion of the business
ceDter of the town, including the opera
house, was in great danger.
The postoflice building was entirely
destroyed, but the letter mail and the
contents of the safe, including the
register and money order business,
were saved. Buxton Bishop, occupying
the same building with a news and
confectionary stock, lost $1,500, fully
covered by insurance. D. Marks
photographic gallery is a total loss at
$500. B. Levison lost $1,500 oq his
stock of clothing, which is partly cov
ered by insurance. A barber shop,
owned by Louis Coleman, and a Chinese
restaurant lost about $2,000.
The block was under mortgage to
the Fidelity Building and Loan asso
ciation, of Denver, Col., on which
there is an insurance of $3, o00. which
will be fully protected. L. A. Skelly.
the owner of the block, will lose over
$2,000.

Session Begins Today
Phoenix. Ariz.
The fifth national irrigation congress
meets at Phoenix, A. T., Dec. 15, 10
and 17. The delegates will eo into
"the enemy's country," for Arizona is
notoriously arid.
The four irrigation congresses pre
ceding the one to meet in Phoenix
were held at Salt Lake City, Los An
geles, Denver and Albuquerque, all of
them in territory which abounds in
illustrations of the possibilities and
accomplishments of irrigation. It has
been the business of these congresses
to agitate with a view to awakening
public interest in the irrigation ques
tion and obtaining legislation. There
is a more active interest in the subject
now than there ever has been, and the
initial steps have been taken by con
gress to assist in the reclamation of
the arid lands of the west.
Amonsr the principal speakers are
F. H. Newell, chief of the Hydrograpn
ic Survey at Washington, U. C, who
will discuss "Irrigation in Humid
America;" Professor Willis L. Moore,
chief of the Weather Bureau at Wash
ington, on "Sensible Climate," and
Professor E. A. Hilgard, professor of
Agriculture University of California
on "Soils. " Not the least interesting
feature of the congress will be the
discussion of "International Irrigation
Questions," by delegates from Canada,
Mexico and attaches of tlie foreign
egations at Washington. Not the
least prominent among the delegates
will be Elwood Mead, of Cheyenne,
Wyo., whose work in behalf of irriga
tion is widely known throughout the
country.
The delegates to tne congress will
be all members of the national ex
ecutive committee: all members of
state and territorial irrigation coinmis
sions: five delegates at large appointed
by tneir respective governors, for each
of the following states and territories
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, NIontana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming:
three delegates at large for each other
state and territory, appointed by the
governors, or in the case of the
District of Columbia by the president:
one delegate each from regularly or
ganized irrigation, agricultural and
horticultural societies, and societies of
engineers, irrigation companies, agri
cultural colleges and commercial
bodies, such as boards of trade, cham
bers of commerce, etc.: duly accredited
representatives of any foreign nation
or coloDy each member of the United
States senate and house of representa
tives, and each governor of state or
territory, who will be admitted as
honorary members.
Phoenix, where the congress will
meet, is a progressive city of 12,000
inhabitants, the capital of Ariz. Its
local committee of arrangements head
ed by Walter Talbot, has made every
arrangement for the comfort of the
delegates, who will number several
hundred. The chief virtue of Phoe
nix as a place of meeting lies in the
fact that it is in the richest irrigated
valley in America that of the Salt
river, where irrigation works of the
greatest magnitude can be seen and
studied by the delegates to the con
gress. Some of the states have gone into
the solution of the irrigation question
very earnestly. Idaho made arrange
ments, immediately after the passage
of the law granting arid lands to the
states, to establish colonies of eastern
settlers on irrigable land. This had

before and had proved successful. At
Riverside, California, where utter des
olation once prevailed, there are now
100,000 acres of orange groves, and the
colony ships $1,250,000 worth of oranges
every year. If Idaho succeeds in doing
as well as California with her arid
land, she will have no difficulty getting
an additional grant of a million acres
for further development.
The question of federal legislation
has become less important to the
friends of irrigation, but state legisla
tion has gained in importance in pro
portion, and legislation will be the
chief subject of discussion in the
congress at Phoenix. Many technical
addresses will be delivered, but the
chief discussion will be on the subject
of legislation.
Darkest Russia.
A direct appeal is made to the intel
ligence of the better class of theatre
goers in presenting "Darkest Russia."
Every detail is perfect. The play itself
is an embodiment of all the essential
elements required to make a perfect
stage romance. The heart interest
prevades the entire play and bright
infectious comedy affords a pleasing
contrast to the exciting dramatic
scenes. The story is one of peculiar
interest and begins in the midst of a
fete in a palace in St. Petersburg, from
which, as the story progresses, the
spectator is carried to a secret meeting
of a body of desperate Nihilists in their
guarded apartments, tne arrest of
the conspirators brings the next scene
before the minister of police and from
there the east transition to Siberia
with the sentenced convicts is made.
"Darkest Russia" owes its success to
the perfect manner in which it has
been "presented. The company corn-
comprises the best artists in the
profession aud each year the company
has been improved materially from the
original production. It is the only
play of recent years that has given uni
versal satisfaction to all classes of
theatre goers and is a lasting monu
ment to tho genius of an American
author and the enterprise of American
management

The Cuban Situation.
County Judge Harper tiled his reply
last evening to Lew Davis' notice of
contest for the county judgeship, the
feature of which is the denial that
there was any such person running for
oflice as J. II. Harper, or that any
voter believed he was voting for .1. LI.
Harper at the election. The name
was placed on the democratic ticket by
mistake.
The county commissioners are against
buying so much medicine for the
county paupers, that the drug bill is
much in excess of the death rate. Also
Mr. Courchesue can not understand
why it is that tho sheriff does not
provide cooking utensils as well us
food for tho county prisoners. The
sheriff, however, can not see it in that
light.

The United Press just scooped the
Associated Press from the word "go,"
this morning. The Associated simply
was not in it at all. The United Press
report had an account of a big meeting
last night in New York, and cot one
word in the dispatches of the Associated
Press. An account of that big meeting
in Gotham is as follows:
A Cuban League of the United States
was formally organized in New York
city last evening. The men behind the
movement are so well known and carry
o much weight that it is bevoni doubt
that this is the beginning of a move
ment that will take no small part in the
history of both countries. The meeting
organized with Colonel Ethan Allen as
president and the following as vice
presidents: Charles A. Dana, former
Governor Roswell P. Flower, former
Postmaster General Thomas M. James,
Chauncey M. Depew, John R. Dos
Passos. 1 heodore Roosevelt, ex-Mayor
Thomas F. Gilroy, George Hoadly, J.
Elward Simmons and C. H. Dennison.
Francis Wayland Glen was elected
secretary: Darwin lv. James, treasurer:
and the executive committee was made
up as follows: John Jacob Astor, Paul
Dana, General Buttertield, Colonel
Fred Grant, Walter Lafan, Edwin
Wardman, John G. McGuire, R. C
Alexander, Constant A. Andrews,
Frank B. Carpenter, John D. Kelley
and Thomas It Stuart.
The call reads in part: "The object
of league is to secure for Cuba by all
lawful, peaceful and honorable means,
the political independence which her
patriots are now ende.woring by trem
endous sacrifices of treasure and life ta
gaiD, to encourage them with our sym
pathy and moral support and to arose
the whole nation to demand an end of
the campaign of murder aud destruction
in that island. Mindful of the helD
which our fathers received in a similar
struggle, we are constrained by a sense
of gratitude to turn to Cuba the kind
ness which was so effectively given to
us."
The call was signed by all the men
named above and many others, includ
ing Collis P. Huntington. Judge Noah
Davis, ex-U. S. Senator Warner Miller,
ex-Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell and Gen
Powell Clayton. A monster mass
meeting will be held fn Cooper Union
next Monday night when Senator Mor
gan, of foreign relations committee, and
Congressman Hitt, of the same
committee in the house, and Congress
man Reed, of Maiue, and Senator
t'ullom.of llliuois, will speak.
A St. Louis di-patch says: Volun
teers for relief Cuban insurgents are
being mobilized in this city and next
Friday, if all plans are carried out
successfully, 1.000 men will leave New
Orleans for Cuba. Two hundred of
thesa are St. Luiisians, remainder
coming from Fast St. L."nis and points
south of here on line of Illinois Central
and Iron Mouptaiu railroads.
A Denver dispatch says: Armed to
the teeth and equipped for war, a
compauy of :U0 men with cautious and
camp utensils, will leave ll.nver in a
few days to cast their fate with the
Cuban insurgents. The men are under
the leadership of Dr. II. L D.trncll.

President ll.irrisou's administration,

takes an advanced position on Cuban
troubles and alleged assassination of
Maeeo. He said today:
'I have been studying the situation
and coml itions ilowu t here closely and
am satisiied that with 10,0; 0 men, and
by that I mean American men, I could
whip Weyler and his Spanish soldiers,
and if I could get some wealthy Amer-
icaa to ba'gk sjs iait I woui4 do it.
The manner in which the war against
Cuban patriots has been conducted
outrageous and if we had a president
with an atom of patriotic blood in his
veins it wouldnot have been permitted
to continue this long."
Chapel Dedication.
The new chapel at the Sister's hospi
tal was dedicated this mornino- with a
congregation present that tilled the
auditorium completely. Father Pinto
celebrated high mass, and the musical
part of the exercises ws highly inter
esting. Mrs. E. V. Berrien presided
at the organ and also sang solos in the
mass. The other singers were Mrs.
W. W. Rose, Mrs. Galligher and Miss
Mamie McCarthy. The mass sung was
J. It. Battman's mass in F, opus 153.
The movements were the Kyrie, the
Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. Mrs.
Rose sang the offertorv, an Ave Maria
by Lutzi, and Miss McCarthy sano-
Oh Salutaris." J
The exercises were impressive, and
every one was pleased with the new
auditorium which is as elegant an
affair as can be found anywhere in the
southwest. After the services, the
sisters served a substantial and whole
some lunch of which mince pie and
sweet cider were marked features.
The sisters make a homemade pie that
is something immense.
The chandeliers in the new chapel
were presented by Messrs. Harry Kel
ly, W. H. Watts and George Gaienne.
