A MILITARY MOVE.
Gen, Sohofeld Asks the Interior De-
partment for the Old
Palace
Delegate Ioseph's Suggestions-A Step
Backed by Good Business
Judgment.

The appended correspondence is self
explanatory:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,, U. S.
January 9, 1889.
Major Gen. John NJ. Schofed;
General am informed that complaint
is made of the inadequacy OF quarters for
the officers and corps stationed at Fort
Marcy, Santa Fe N. NJ. In this connec-
ton would suggest that an application
from your department to the interior de-
partment, for the use of the old adobe
palace building at Santa Fe, would meet
with favor.
This building adjoins Fort Marcy res
ervation, fronting on Palace avenue, and
GERS, as territorial capitol building has
been recently completed at Santa Fe,
with ample accommodations for all ter
ritorial officers, and they have moved
their offices in the new building. This
old building is about go feet long, and
Contains large and commodous rooms,
which could be fitted up at a nominal ex
pense for officers quarters, or offices.
The postoiice is located in the south
west corner of the building, and the His
torlcal society in the southeast corner.
Otherwise the building is not needed
and is not used by the government, and
believe the interior department would
cheerfully turn it over to you.
In this connection | would suggest
that it would be economy to retain the
quartermaster and commissary at Santa
Fe, and also require the paymaster to be
stationed there. am informed that the
expenses to the government of the pay
master now stationed at Albuquerque is
about 800 per month. l think it would
be saving to the government to station
him at Santa Fe in quarters under your
department.
am informed that the banks at Santa
Fe agree to cash all drafts and all the
business of the paymaster, quartermaster
and commissary free of charge. Very
respectfully, ANTONIO JOSEPH,
Delegate from New Mexico

Supt. Dyer left for Las Vegas yesterday.
On to Cerrillos should be the cry Of the

The Ell Paso papers say that the Rock
Island is not likely to reach that burg
this year. So; but it will invade New
Mexico, just the same.
Fort Worth again claims to have raised
money to build line to Albuquerque. 1t

hence it must strike Cerrillos and San

the effect causing President Low, of the
Rock Island, to change his plans some

First Endorsement
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF U. S. u
lVoobiprtop Ion q 1000

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF U. ST.
Washington, Jan. 9, 1889.
Respectfully submitted to the secretary
of war, with the suggestion that the
interior department be requested to turn
over the building referred to to the war
department, if it is no longer required by
former department.
The building is very desirable and
much needed as quarters for officers.
j. NJ. SCH0FIELD,
Major General Commanding
1t has been known here in official cir
cles for weeks that some such move as
above indicated was on at Washington,
and it is universally approved, not only by
the people but also by the civic and mill
tary authorities. The best of business
reasons suggest such step. OF course
no interference with Gov. Ross residence
is contemplated, because the change is
not to 60 into effect until mid summer,
a month or more after the expiration OF
his official term, and the idea in starting
the move at this time is to have the
change made between the time OF Gov.
Ross vacating the premises and before
his successor shall have settled his fam
lily in the time honored place. From a
military point of view and also
from an economic standpoint, Gen.
Schofield's request of the interior depart
ment to be allowed the use of this build
ing, or SO much of it as is not occupied
by the postoffie and historical society, will
be sanctioned by everybody acquainted
with the facts in the premises. Here are
stationed some 300 soldiers, besides
large number of officers and general SER
vice clerks, and it is proper that the dis
bursting officers should be located here
also, because OF easy rail communication
with all parts of the territory,
while at the same time these
railway lines lead direct from
the chief forage producing centers OF
Colorado ard New Mexico; because the
funds can better be handled here-where
the receiving officers of other branches of
the government are located--than else
where because of economic reasons, saw
ing at least $500 year to the govern
ment in rentals, and because also of Santa
FEES social and climatic advantages. The
changes touched upon in Mr.. Joseph's
letter will probably 60 into effect some
time in June

HELENA, MONT. July 23.-In the con-

the committe on miscellaneous subjects,
to which was referred the proposition re-

back, having resolved that it was for

for it will be introduced at some future
day. The labor question came up again,
and the section relating To convict labor
caused further discussion. Il was finally
rejected.
The afternoon session was devoted to
further discussion of the preamble, Sew
