From the Philaiely hia Times.
Mr.. 5. II. Elkins' letter denying that
he ever had more than small Incl
dental interest in the Maxwell grant;
that he has none whatever now aud
has not had any for some time, is Gu
rious reading TO a number u number
in Washington. 1t is something won
deriul that SO many should remem-
Der to have heard Mr.. Elgins expati-
ate grandly on his ownership of a
large part If not the whole of the
aforesaid princely possession. 1t is
remarkable also how many there are
hereabouts who are under the i'm
preston that they congratulated Mr.
Elkins ON the stroke OF fortune that
gave him such famous bargain, rails
ing him prospectively, if not at once
to millionaire's estate. And there
are others who but for his letter
have no doubt that they heard him
many times aud oft dilate on the ex-
tent aud almost fabulous value of his
New Mexico possession. A compari-
son of notes by these different classes
OF recollector has caused them to con.
clude that there is great mistake
somewhere, and that 1t will never do
to be certain of anything If Mr. Elkins

WE need the Midland.


From the N Y. Tribune.
New Mexico has new governor
who is certainly romantic If nothing
more. Several versions of his sun
rise in augnration have been gwen,
but the following is the correct one:
On the morning of June 10, Governor
Sheldon was awaken at about o'clock
by violent ringing of the door bell
of the old Spanish palace, which is the
residence OF the New Mexican gov
errors. Hastily going to the door,
with the idcaihat fire ora new Indian
outbreak must have occasioncd the
untiinely call, he found two ardent
young democrats there, who said
that they were messengers from the
new governor, who sent hi, compli-
rnents and would appear in person in
few minutes. Astonished at this
strange proceeding, but unwilling to
10 suggest II delay which might be
misconstrued, Governor sheldon has
tily completed his toilet and lighted
his Office, so rs to be ready TO recog-
nize his successor. Scarcely was this
done, when Mr. Ross, surrounded by
about twenty of the "unterrified,' ap,
peared from the outside dark ness,
and walking up to Governor Sheldon
said: "Goyernor, no doubt this re-
quires AN explanation. You know il
is the custom among Pueblo Indians
10 stand on the housetOps at about
this hour aud watch for the coming of
Montezuma, who is some day to APP
pear al sunrise. have thought that
this would be an appropriate hour for
the new Democratic MOntezuma TO
take The oath of office"
Though taken by surprise by this
novel idea, Governor Sheldon prompt
ly replied that he should think it was
more important TO impress ones self
upon the intelligent American popu-
lation than on the Pueblo Indians.
Undisiurbed by this practical sugges-
ton, MIR. Ross then sent |
n young man to report
the SUI had yet ap-
peared over the mountains. lie was
soon informed that the PROP
tious hour had not yet arrived. The |
9xpeGctant oiilce-seekcrs were there
lore compelled 10 wait in solemn !
groups u short time longer. Another |
messenger was dispatched but |
brought the same answer. A 1
'hilly silence onsned among the TWEEN
y. Finally seminal entered with 4
he glad tidings that the GLORIOUS
'rb Of day" was just yisable over the
n untain tops. A shout of joy met
his announcement, and Judge Waldo,
Mr.. Ross, said; Governor,
he hour has come for you TO take the
'ath." And In q momeut the "Dem-
'cractic Montezuma" had become
! Governor Of New Mexico. Speaking
# the ofiair later IN the day, Govern
II Ross said; "People are apt TO
hink me very practical man, but
eally am full of poetry and ro-
nance" Evidently the Governor I'M
lerstauds himself.
