Special Correspondence vi he New Mexican.
HEApQRs. New MExtCo DELEGATION.
HE Il street,
Washington, May s, 1890
The delegation has as yet failed to get
an audience with Senator Edmun6s, Cor"
gresham Struble, the attorney general or
the senate committee on private iand
claims. Before the week is out, however,
these will be seen. Sickness has inter
fered with the expected call on the attor
ney general and Senator Edmunds.
The delegates are sticking well to their
work, considering that life in Washington
comes high and muddy at this season OF
the year. The daily gathering at head
quarters is as full of good spirits as in the
beginning, and the steady progress max
ing for all New Mexico's interests before
con ress is source OF mutual congratula-
ton.
At to.day's meeting the time was taken
up in a general canvass of the situation
and it was conceded that the outlook
could scarcely be more cheering. The
best OF progress has been made in rela-
ton to statehood, and it now appears
certain that, il the state bill does not &c
i'll as law, the educational bill, the land
court and other measures will at least be
secured. But everybody believes the al
mission bill will pass. Senator Stewart
yesterday made very important comes
slons, and this has Increased the hopeiu
aspect OF the situation.
All along Senator Stewart and aevera
other members have haggled about thu
expenditure OF moneys 1or edUcatlona
purposes. They have insisted that al
donations OF land should be used t. main
tain schools where only the English Ian
guage shall be taught. Before the senate
committee on Monday the delegation com
batted this idea with such vigor rs to con
vince Senator Stewart of his error, an'
now he has quite changed front aud com

in the public schools, but Spanish ma.
also be taught. This proposition SUIT
everybody and hence the good feelin
prevalent.

SOC0RR0 COUNTY.
Sheriff Robinson, of Socorro, Talks About
the Prosperous Condition OF
His County.

Mr.. A. C. Robinson, sheriff of Socorro
county, darkened the door OF the NEW
MEXICAN sanctum this morning for brief
period. Mr.. Robinson is making a first
class sheriff and honest and thorough
collector, and is very popular both in his
county and in Santa Fe, where he has
many substantial friends.
Mr.. Robinson says that business in all
branches i'll his county is looking up and
the people are greatly encouraged
over the outlook for a prosperous
future. About 1000 head of cattle were
shipped from Magdalena the other
day and other shipments are
being made as fast as ears can he Sc
cured. The fine rains OF last fall, said
Mr.. Robinson, "put the range in splendid
condition for the winter, and the conse'
uuence is that cattle down in our country
vent through the winter ia good shape
and are now in first class condition 1ol
shipping"
He says the mines are looking we'll and
are attracting more attention than eve!
before. Every days work shows good de-
velopment and the miues generally are
turning out well. The we'll known prop
eity, the Terrence mine, is to be opened
shortly, and the Silver Bar mines are ship
ping regularly good grade OF ore.
ln regard to the report that the SAINTS
Fe ring" is distributing statehood doodle
in Socorro county, Mr.. Robinson say
| there is no truth in the statement, ant
added, with u knowing wink, that 1T
doubted very much if the "ring" referee
to could raise any Doodle.
MIR. Robinson brought up three recruit
for the pen, and says that the Socorrt
county Jail is now without aprisoner. ii.

The National CAPITAL.

The city of Washington is an object of
perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri-
cans. Not alone because it is the great
%thrsbbing heart of the mightiest and grand
est republic the earth has ever known, but
also on account Of its material magnif-
cence: All Americans take pride in its
beautiful avenues, majestic architecture
stately homes, and wei, stored galleries
and museums as things Of grandeur and
beauty in themselves, apart from the his
tOric interest with which they are invested,
1t is a hope and aspiration Of all "young
America" at least, to some time or other
visit the capital of his country.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad offers I'M
equaled facilities in aid of this desire. All
It's through trains between New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore on the east,
and Pittsburg, Cincinnati, st. Louis and
Chicago on the west, pass through Wash
lngton. Its fast express trains are vesti-
buled from end to end and heated with
steam. Pullman's latest and best produc-
lions in the way of sumptuous drawing
room sleeping cars are attached to all its
through trains. The present management
of the B. g. O. have made vast improve
ments in the last two years, and the road is
to-day, one of the foremost passenger car
rying lines in the country. Through tick
cts via the B. & o. railroad can be procured
at oil the principal ticket offices throughout
the United States. " =

A Unique Letter.

A unique letter was received last week
by Commissioner HeIgeson from Norris
town, Pa. The letter contained a dollar
bill for sufferers, rolled around a small case
covered with scriptural quotations. The
letter itself was written with red and black
ink alternately. The envelope was cov-
cred with Biblical verses written in a neat
feminine hand, and the address is "Com-
missioner Helgeson, Dakota Gods, United
States" The writer signs herself Goods
wife by the grace of ceremony and calling
His blessed majesty good, kind, mercifuT,
just King, Christ Jesus, Jehovah Emanu-
ell" 1t is evidently the work of a female
religious enthusiast.
