CAPITAL CHATTER.
Official and Political Gossip Gathered
from Sundry Sources.

Col. II. L. Pickett, of Silver City, is
Washington, where he says he will camp
until statehood is decided one way or the
other. am for statehood first and the
Offices afterward. There is one thing
that must be corrected in the bill, how
ever, and that is the question of the
Spanish in the schools. Now, l have a
boy, and | want him to learn Spanish
well, and if he can not do it IN this coun-
try l will send him to the City of Mexico
when he is old enough. Every American
feels the same way about Spanish"
Col Pickett is strong candidate for
the judgship in his district, and the
New MEXICAN wishes to remark that the
man who beats him for the position does
not come from Grant, Sierra or Dona
Ana counties.
The U. S. senate yesterday confirmed
the appointment of Miss Mary J. CunIffe
as postmaster at Las Cruces.
Antonio Lucero, who so ably served as
one of the interpreters in the last as
sembly, is again applying for the place
He is most competent young man.
Word is at hand from Washington that
the house has passed Delegate Joseph's
bill to create new U. S. land district in
New Mexico with land office at Socorro
The Silver City Sentinel, the Socorro
Advertiser and the Roswell Record are in
favor of tearing the territorial capitol up
by the roots and removing it-anywbere,
anywhere, just so long as it is removed.
This is very unkind.
| The furniture for the equipment of the
legislative council and house was shipped
from Chicago on the 9th inst, via the A.,
L. q s. f. route, and if snow storms do
not delay its transit, the territorial secre-
tary hopes to have it in position by the
middle of next week.
Senator Saint will favor all reform
measures introduced in the territorial
council. He is determined to reduce
salaries and fees paid to county officials,
and will urge the passage of bill to loan
territorial, county and other public funds
to banks offering the highest rates of in
.erest and best ecurity.-Albuquerqu

Thus far three contestants are in the
uelu lor teIIltorldl SECRETARY unuef CleVe-
land. These are ex-Secretary Geo. W.
Lane, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y, and now
in the insurance business at Washington
City; H. H. Pierce, manager of the Las
Vegas Stock Grower, and L. r. E. Paulin,
member of the last legislative house
from San Juan county.
Pinto Pine, the we'll known interpre-
ter of the Mesilla valley, has been on the
sick list for at least year, suffering with
lung trouble and pneumonia. He is now
recovering, and if he thinks his health
will permit, he will be on hand at the
opening of the territorial legislature ask
ing for some kind of position.
This from the Roswell Record is rather
startling news for Santa Feans: "The
good people of Santa Fe gave Delegate
Joseph an elegant reception before his
departure for Washington. Though sadly
in the minority, there are some as staunch
and true men in Santa Fs as can be found
anywhere. Their appreciation of Mr.. Jo-
seph is, in all things, merited."
The Legislature should give San Juan
county longer terms of court. One week

A MYSTERY.
Quartermastcr Serg. Walther Missing
Since Saturday Night-Be-
lieyed to Be Dead.

William Wather, quartermaster SER
geant at Fort Marcy, has disappeared un-
der peculiar circumstances.
On Saturday evening he was given per-
mission to run down to Lamy junction
to meet an old friend, Hospital Stewart
Schwenkenberg, en- route from Fort
Grant, A. T., to Fort Assinneboine,
Mont, Upon the arrival of the train at
Lamy he went across from the depot to
Chas. Haspelmath's saloon and took a
glass of beer. He told Mr.. Haspeln ath
that he would run down as far as Ger
rillos to meet his friend coming from the
south, and that when they returned to
Lamy they would call over and crack
bottle of beer for old acquaintance sake.
Mr.. Haspelmath saw Walther cross the
street and step upon the Lamy depot
platform. Since that moment nothing
has been seen or heard of the missing
man.
Conductor Nelly was in charge of the
west DO md Elm Waltner should have
taken to reach Cerrillos. He states that
only four passengers boarded his train at
Lamy; that these were through passengers,
that Walther was not one of them, and
that no one left the train at Cerrillos.
Conductor Stimmell, who knows Walther,
says he did not board the east bound
train at either Lamy or Cerrillos. In
obedience to a request from Fort Marcy
Supt Chas Dyer, at Las Vegas, has ques-
toned all the train men on duty that
night between Albuquerque and Las
Vegas and none of them have seen or
heard of the missing quartermaster SER
geant.
belief exists that Walther must have
fallen from the platform of the coach
somewhere between Lamy and Cerrillos
and been killed or died from exposure in
the snow. Some have the idea that he has
deserted the army but his friends, and
there are many of them, scout this sug-
gestion. They point out his faithfulness
to duty, his long service in this response
bic position and his early prospects for
promotion to commissary sergeant.
With the exception of few minor de-
tails that could be readily explained by
the man himself, his accounts and rec
ords at the post are in perfect order.
Walther is member of the Knights
of Pythias and Odd Fellows, is unmarried
and is about 81 years of age.
The Knights and Odd Fellows are
greatly worried over his disappearance
and have sent out search party. Isaac
Goldorf, representing the Odd Fellows,
went to Lamy and made a search there
abouts, but with no avail, and VIM.
Strowver, committee of one from Ger
mania lodge, K. of P, has gone on horse
back to search along the railroad track
between Lamy and Cerrillos.

L. L. Boutwell,, a pleasant gentleman
from Denver, who brings letters to friends
here from Col. S. W. Fisher, is in the city
with view to locating and engaging in
business. He says it is his opinion and
the opinion of many others that New
Mexico is just where Colorado was ten
years ago; that statehood being assured,
a boom is bound to follow, hence he
wants to get in on time and be ready to
take advantage of the new order of
things.
]. W. Donnelly, of Albuquerque, chief
clerk of the A, q p. land department, is
registered at the Palace. He says that the
accident reported yesterday on the Santa
Fe just east of Kansas City was greatly
exaggerated. None of the passengers
were even hurt. He speaks very highly
of the progress of the Worlds fair, and
says the railroads are now engaged in the
gigantic work of concentrating all the
roads of Chicago at the fair grounds.
Major Donnelly is en- route home to AL
buquerque from Chicago.

The Late Idus l.. Fielder.

From letters received here from Silver
City it is apparent that the family and
relatives of the late Hon. Idus S. Fielder
are very much aggrieved over the recent
published report regarding the circum-
stances of his death. Mr.. Fielder did not
die from suicide as at first reported. DR..
W. T. Williams, of Silver City, vouches
for the statement that the deceased died
from uremea which caused heart failure.
Mr. James S. Fielder also assures the
New MEXICAN that his brother had no
domestic trouble but was devotedly nursed
in his last hours by his excellent wife.
This much is here given because it is be-
lieved by the New MEXICAN to be due the
memory of a prominent citizen. But the
sametime Mr.. James s. Fielder is
reminded that he mustn't try to run any
bluffs on the New MEXICAN. Its manag-
ing editor and his associates have been
too long 'out west" for that mater.

[. s. LAND COURT.
Still Occupied with the AlgOd0nes
Case-U. s, Attorney Reynolds
Report to the Attorney
General

The Algodones grant occupies the at
tention of the land court to-day. The at
torneys for the grantees have made a
vigorous attempt to prove valid grant
and to overcome the contention of the
government that the grant is forgery.
Much testimony has been given, and the
argument of the case will consume the
afternoon.
THE U. S. ATTORNEYS REPORT,
Hon. Matt G, Reynolds report to the
attorney general on the land court bust
ness is short, pithy and able. He talks
to the point and stops when he gets there.
He reports thirty-seven grants filed in
New Mexico aggregating 2,629,051 acres
of land. Final Judgment has been en-
tered against the United States in seven
cases in New Mexico. They are the
Cubero grant, 10000 acres; the Bernardo
M. Montoya grant, 1887 acres; Albu-
querque grant, 1851 acres; Rancho del
Rio Grande grant, 109,O43 acres, the So
zorro grant, 1861 acres; the Francisco
Monies Will grant, $4,000 acres; the Girls
tobal de la Serna grant, 10000. Of these
the Cubero and the Socorro grants have
been appealed by the United States to
the supreme court.
The court elected the San Antonio del
Rio Colorado grant, and the decree was
suspended to allow the grantees to intro
duce further authorities.
In the Arroyo Hondo case the decree of
rejection was suspended to allow further
testimony and citation of authorities.
The title papers were objected to for
want of authorization.
The Villa de Santa Fegrant was thrown
out on demurrer because the county COM
missioners had no right to plead.
The area of the seven cases confirmed
as claimed was 4O7, sos acres, as allowed by
the court, 26S,365 acres.
The Algodones grant for 10000 acres
is treated.
All the cases tried and carried to judg-
ment are community grants in which
title papers are genuine and the parties
have been in actual possession since the
grant. No special defense could be
found. Mr. Reynolds takes occasion to
thank the attorney generally, formally
and personally, for the appointment of
Mr. Will NJ. Upton special agent. He
indicates the necessity of having the old
Spanish indexes properly translated and
printed, and expresses his obligation to
the individual members of the court. 1t
is almost impossible to epitomlze the
report, as it is very brief, able state
ment

An EXPERT CHATS.
Mr.. chamberlain on the Albuquerque,
Durango Pr0iect-OthGr News
from the Roads.

Mr.. j. &. Chamberlain, the expert who
has been examining the Albuquerque
Durango project, chatted very pleasantly
with the New MEXICAN yesterday, He, of
course, refused to say whether or not he
would indorse the new project, but the
compaisance with which he talked of the
resources on the route was pretty good
indicator of his opinions.
"What do ] think of the coalY Well,
from Durango down to below 0lio there
is great deal, and the measures are very
large. From the mines about twenty
miles above the mouth of the La Plata
down to the outcrops at Olio there seems
to be continuous bed of coal. In the
neighborhood of Pennington it is prob
ably about 300 feet deep. l was unable
to determine the dip exactly, but from
general appearances l should say that
coal underlaid the Pennington country
about 800 feet.
"Oh! yes, San Juan county has abund-
ance of water and any people who can
afford to team there produce fifty miles
and then make money ought to be able to
support a railroad in large measure"
Mr.. Chamberlain then took n turn at
interviewing himself and asked the New
MEXICAN many questions concerning
Santa Fe. He inquired particularly about
the new water works project and spoke
very highly of the plans as detailed to
him. He was considerably struck with
the old city, this being his first visit.
RAIL NOTES
Trinidad business men on Tuesday
evening held an important meeting to
consider the DenverEI Paso short line
project. Mr.. Horace Ropes, Norman C.
Raft, L. R. Cannon. addressed the gath
ering setting forth the advantages of the
road, Hon. Il. L. Wootton appointed
Hon. S. S. Wallace, j. A. Bell and II. H.
Holloway, Il committee to select can
va5sing committee. Twenty nine gentle
men were selected. Speeches were made
on behalf of the citizens by W. C. Macon
Der, Sol. II. Jaffa, r. l.. Wootton, and the
canvassing committee will meet with the
railroad people and confer about plans.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe com
pany is pushing the Ash Fork line from
that point southwark. The road will be
completed to Prescott by April l, con-
Meeting that city with the Atlantic &
Pacific for seventy-five miles and from
that point it will be built to Phoenix, 100
miles from Ash Fork, to connect with the
Maricopa and Phoenix. The line will
then take the passenger from Northern
Central Arizona to the Sunset route with
but one change of cars.
A. B, Laird is up from Deming, and he
says that the pros poets for the early com
mencement of operations on the railroad
south from Deming are good. The ties
which have been there for long time
with claims against them have been re-
leased and the Santa Fe company is max
ing preparations to unload steel in their
yard. On the whole, it looks as though
it would not be long before track laying
would be commenced on the proposed
line.-Silver City Sentinel.

evidence. Occasional changes on the
part Of well known men from one party
to another are not. in our opinion, OF
great significance. There have been
more orless of them in every campaign
since the foundation of the government.
But their effect has invariably been en-
tirely disproportionate to the noise and
hurrah which has accompanied them.
In no campaign since the war have there
been more changes on the part of dis
tinguished men than in 1872. And yet
they accomplished practically nothing in
changing the views of the great mass of
the people. The voters do their own
thinking largely. and the example of this
man or that man has very little effect on
them unless it accords with their own
notions,

We Got the idea from pompeil.

Few people are aware that we are in
debted to the people of old Pompeii, who
were all smothered in the first century of
the Christian era, for one of the most i'm
portant industries of our time-the can
ming business. Years ago. when the first
excavations were made in that buried
city, an American came upon several
jars of figs When they were opened
shey were found to be as fresh and palat-
able as when they were put up, eighteen
centuries before. Investigations insti-
tu5ed on the spot proved that the fruit
had been put into jars in highly heated
state, and that an aperture for the es-
cape of steam had been left in the lid,
which, when it had served it's purpose,
was sealed over with wax. Yankee IN
genuity caught the idea at once, and
the next year canning factories were
erected all over the United States.
