Editorial Correspondence New Mexican.
WAsHINGToS, March 22.-Gen. Bartlett
appeared before the house committee on
military affairs this morning and made an
exhaustive and able argument in
favor of Delegate Joseph's bill for the
establishment of large post al Santa
Fe. The strategic and military reasons
therefor and the admirable advantages OF
the location were strongly set forth by
him, and he made very favorable i'm
preston upon the committee. | think
later on Delegate Joseph will secure a
favorable report from the committee.
Gen. Newberry, chsirman OF the sub
committee having tine matter in hand,
complimented Gen Bartlett for knowing
what he wanted and how to represent it
and said the points in the case were pre-
sented briefly, pointedly and convincing.
The fight will be on when the bill and
the committee report come up for action
in the house. In the senate we have al
ready secured several friends who will
look after the measure and its passage,
should it get there.
With proper effort on behalf of the
citizens OF Santa Fe in aid OF Delegate
Joseph's work the bill ought to become
law during this congress.
Mr.. Joseph's bill for a new land dis
trict, comprising the counties of Valencia
and Secorro, with land office at SocorrO,
is before the house committee on public
LANDS, and he expects favorable action
and thinks the bill will pass. His bill,
giving the school of mines at Socorro 10
per cent of all moneys derived from the
sale of mineral lands in New Mexico, is
more than likely to become law. The
senate has passed bill containing these
provisions for the support of the school OF
! mines of the state of Colorado. Mr.. Jo-
seph's bill will be tackled to the senate
bill as an amendment, passed in the
house, and returned to the senate, where
no opposition is expected.
In my call on the secretary OF the in.
terror, Gen. Noble, found him remark
ably well posted on New Mexico affairs.
He is very friendly to the territory and
striving to help US whenever occasion
offers. He particularly inquired after
Judge Morrison, the register of the land
office at Santa Fe, for whom he seems to
have a very friendly feeling.
In the Office of the secretary of war,
| met stationed there as military at
tache, Lieut.. Dupray, formerly on Gen
Mies's staff, one of the brightest officers
in the army and well known in Santa Fe.
Lieut.. Dupray was stationed in Santa Fe
during the halcyon days of the tertio
milenial, and has warm place in his
heart for the capital of New Mexico.
a A visit to the weather bureau was not
Z without benefit to us. | repre- sented to
9 the powers that be the ACCESSIBILITY and
. importance of making Santa Fe weather
e forecast station this means that reports
a are to be received from the several sta
y tons in the southwest, tabulated and
n examined and weather forecasts for New
Z Mexico telegraphed to the principa
papers and places in New Mexico. The
n matter was taken up, and believe tha
Il by July this service will be put int
P operation at the Santa Fe weather Oh
. servaiion Office.
- / shall be here several days yet, look
=, ing after matters connected with our terri
q tory. Solicitor General Bartlett ha'
finished his business here and leaves to-
morrow for northern New York to visit
his mother, thence going straight home
j He will reach Santa Fe about the last
the month. FROST.
