* A special from Las Vegas , N. M. ,
says : "At a ball given b > Mexicans
of LJS Mila , this county , Saturday
night , eight Americans attended. A
bitter feeling against the whites was
engendered among the native' , and lu
a few minutes a free-for-all fight took
place. The firing was quick and fatal.
"Doc" Hodges and Frank Smith , two
young Americans from Malsens and
Leviahe camps , were murdered ia
cold blood. Hodges was shot through
the head and once through the chest ,
and his body snatched by the infur
iated Mexicans , and the remains were
found Monday burned to a crisp.
Smith was seen to fall in the melee ,
and when his friends rallied , they
could not find him. Fearful that he
lud been killed outright , and the body
hidden , a diligent search was kept up
all day Monday. Early yesterday
morning a few unfaltering friends
found the remains. The corpse was
perforated with bullets , and the skull
crushed by heavy stones. One Mex
ican was killed , and several others
wounded. The indignation of the
tie-choppers of Glcrictha mountain
Is at fever heat , and war may result
between the two factions. "

follows : Middle of the month will

in milder weather towards the end of
the third quarter. Thia thaw , which
will bo interrupted by a cold spell ,
will extend from about the 18th of
the month into February. The record
of the month will show it to have
been a sr-vereone , and the general con

The calendar of the house , as is
well known , is very much crowded ,
and there is but very alight prospects
of getting through. Many of the
bills , centainly the bills of the house
that have to go the senate , will have
but a slight chance , but there are on
the private calendar a number of sen
ate bills , and the affirmative action
of the house would pass these bllli.
Mr. Carlisle tried to-day to have an
order made for an evening session to
morrow to take up the senate bills on
the private calendar , and consider
them.
Air. Coffroth ybjected because the
house , a few days ago , refused him an

After discussion the question was
then taken on Mr. Carlisle's substi

declared carried on a division of 09 to
97. Tellers were then demanded , and
it was again carried by a vote of 128
to 101. The vote excited a good deal
of interest.
Mr. Uadegraff , of Ohio , moved to
amend the title of the bill , to make it
road , "A bill to defeat refunding ; to
increase the amount of interest of the
public debt ; to contract the currency
and injure the public credit ; and to
depress the business indnstr'es ' ot the

This motion received 59 votes , and
there wore 11 against it.
The committco then rose , and the
bill as amended was reported to the

The previous question was seconded
so as to bring the matter up as unfin

The committee on foreign aff&ii-a
held a meeting yesterday , and gave a
hearing to W. H. Webb , of NQTT
York vs. the Panama ship canal
scheme , and its support of the policy
of the Monroe doctrince. He advo
cated the abrogation of the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty , as soon as the time
would permit , by the terms of said
treaty , and said that the Nicaraguan
canal could be buUt in four or five
years. He could build it in thia time ,
and if he should receive for doing so
$50,000,000 he could make himself
one or two millions a year. He
stated that it was an old policy of
Franco to build a canal to gradually
absorb the territory , and England
would favor any such scheme for the
same purpose , and with an ultimate
hope of gaining its ultimate control.
In his opinion , Nicaragua waa the
onlv spot on God's earth where a canal
could be bnllt. Ex-Secretary Thomp
son followed ic support of the Pana
ma ship canal. He reiterated his re
marks made Monday befpro the com
mittee of the inter-oceanic ship canal ,

LINCOLN , Neb. , January 19 10 p.
m. The prevailing opinion to-night
is that the backbone of the Paddock
boom is broken. Paddock's boast
that ho would have forty-eight to fifty
votes on the first ballot , caused great
disappointment to Ira followers when
they found he fell below forty. Des
perate efforts are being made to-night
to secure additional votes for him on
the first joint ballot to-morrow , but
indicationsaro that ho will lose more
votes than he can gain. Thuraton
declared to-night thnt if Paddock fail ?
on the firat ballot to-morrow , hia fol
lowers must awing around to Nance.
This programme cannot be carried out
without Borioni loss , as many Paddock
men will never support Nance. The
field atill remains unorganized , but
confident of final victory when the
vote Is pooled. E. ROSEWATER.

coming conflict. The legions are
massing , and when the word of com
mand is given , the enthralled millions
will march forth to victory.
The bloody c .nflict of twenty years
