Spacia! Dispatch to The Bee, Saxta Fr, N. M., April 12—10 p. m.—0a Saturday three Texas desper- adoes, 1bo leader of whom was Baker, rode into & small town on the Denver & Rio Grande extension, and with drawn revolvers robbed every store and ealoon in the town, making their victims fall intc line and follow them. At the last place they visited, kept by a Frenchman, all were made to walk up to the bar and drink at the experae of the proprielor, after which the scoundrels went through him and started to leave, As baker turned, the Frenchman jumped on him,wrest- ed the revolver from his hand, and pat five balls fnto the villain. The other twn nien ran to their horses and es- caped, one with a ballet In him. Ba- ¥er was wanted for previous erimes, there being a raward of 81500 for his issued. Ths burcau of engraving and printing has been ordered to pre- pare bonds in conformity with the plan of the department. Another pointin favor of the treasurer's scheme 15 the fact that the reduction of the rate of interest does not carry with it any specified time for which the rate of three and s half per cent. will be psii. As tho revenue of the treasury wi'l permit, the secretary can pay off at. will any of the bonds of the now “oan, Cortain time that it should run wouid have to ba specified in issuing the bonds bofore making the impor- tant step that he has. Secretary Windom recetved assurances from the largest holders of maturing boads that they were perfectly willing to retain them st three and a half per cent. These assurances had great weight in ehaping the policy to be pursued. The prediction is froely made that before congross meets in December, the $700,000,000 of the sixes and the tives, with bat little substraction from the full amonnt, will have been prac- tically refunded. The rate of inter- est, ihree and & half per cent, fixed by Secrotary Window, is the same that the republicans in congress urged when the vetved refonding bill was under consideration. As regards the sale of §104,000,000 of fours or tour and one-hals, autnorized by law, it is not thought that they will be -pugs ot the market unless it should be found to reslize on them in carrying on pol- icy determined on in dealing with fives and sixes. 1t s believed at the treasury that ths curplus revenucs will be rullicicnt to psy of all cilied slxcs, wLoBs uwnes way rofuss terms of fives.

Scnator Beck then took the floor and wade & speech in defense of his position in the minority. He pro- ceeded to give his opinion on the coal- ition batween the republicans aud Ma- hone. The couriesy of the eena'e would not allow him to tell just wiaat he thought, but he hoped to go. into the Virginia canvass, ard taen he would give his entira opinlon of the bargain, the share of which the re- publicans had roceived to meke & proper return for what they were try- iog 80 bard to retyin. It the demo- crats helieved the republicans were trying to consummate a corrupt bac- gain, they would do right to oppose If sach opposition was based on an- other ides, the country wouid judge the case and probably keep them at home hereafier. He denied the re- publicans’ claim that they had a cou- stitutlonsl majority or even quorum, s would be shown, should the demo- crats become disgusted with the fail- ure to bave the regular business tended to, and retire from the cham- ber in a body. Senators Burnside and Dawes re- minded him that Mr. Davis had voted with them on the prisent issue. Mr, Beck replied that the senator from Tllinois wight vote for the con- sideration of the resolution for elect- lag cfficers, but never for the officers proposed. In answer to an Inquiry by Mr. Morrill, Mr. Beck said the democrats had made no pregramme fnvolving d sertion of the field. He had m.erely tried to show what might be.
