CAPITAL REMOVAL BILL.
Mr.. Mulholland's bill for the remova
OFF, capital to the lovely city on the
Rio ucande, came up this afternoon and
in committee of the whole, Mr.. Smith i;
} the chair, was fully considered. Speeches
galore were made, some wers tlowery and
beautiful and some were not. Amend
ments were offered but voted down, and
still some of the amendments were not
bad. Mr.. Malaquias Martinez offered to
take the capital to Taos, Mr.. Marcelino
Martinez wanted it in Mora, Mr.. Felix
Garcia thought TERRA Amarillo lovely
place, and Mr.. Larkin G. Read insisted
that Cuyamunge was the best place pos.
tsible. The friends of Albuquerque re-
sisted all these motions strenously and
with fervor and vehemence and with
rigor and energy and main strength and
sometimes with awkwardness.
Finally the committee of the whole
concluded to rise and report that the bill
be tabled Indefinitely. If tears were then
and there shed they were not visible but
came under the category of what is called
silent tears.

of the committee of the whole to lay the
bill upon the table indefinitely and bury
it for this session was as follows: Yeas:
Cristman, Felix Garcia. Jaquez, Jara-
milo, Luoero, Lujan, Luna, Malaquias
Martinez, Ortiz, Read, Reynolds, San
chez, Jose Pablo Sandoval, Sena, Mr..
Speaker Llewelyn. Nays: Bateman,
Castillo, Herculano Garcia, Mahoney,
Mulholland, Desiderio Sandoval, Smith.

The several council committees are
hard at work on bills in their hands.
Councilman Finical's suavity has not
left him in this hour of trial, sadness and
sorrow.

ital removal business disposed of, and 80
it is.
The two men In town who feel we'll and
happy this evening, are Representatives

gallant if Intellectual fight for Albuquer-
que. Mr.. Mulholand is q good fellow
and slayer.

and debate and motions. The result, ad-
journment until 2 in the afternoon.
As member of the board of peniten.
tiary commissioners just appointed,
Hon. Francisco Miera, judging from his
record in the assembly, will do good serv
ice.
| Hon. Venceslado was one of the staunch.
est and most energetic friends Santa Fe
had in the capital removal business. His
work counted. Yon can always depend
on him. He is true as steel.
Secretary Miller expects to have the
commissions of the newly appointed Off.
cials and members of boards ready by
| tomorrow evening for the distributions
and the mails. Quick work this.
Coal Oil Inspector VIM. E. Martin,
sounds we'll and what's more, Mr.. Martin
says he will inspect and see to it that
good coal oil is furnished. And that's the
milk in the cocoanut.
Col. j. Frank Chaves made an efficient
and energetic warden of the penitentiary
for several years. He has also had varied
and extensive experience in public affairs.
He will make good penitentiary COM
missioner.
This morning it was reported that
Albuquerque emissaries had offered
$4,000 for two votes for capital removal,
but the friends of Santa Fe said, Sect
thee behind me, Satan and the fellow
"got."
The two representatives from Taos and
Mora, Malaqu and Marcelino Mar
tinez, did their duty and all that was ex-
pected Of them on the capital removal
question. Taos and Mora county repre-.
sentatives are all right.
In the council today G. B. No. 106, An
act authorizing the solicitor general to
reside elsewhere than Santa Fe, and @. B.
No. 83, An act with reference to fling
accounts against counties and municipal
corporations, were passed.
Hon. Felix Garcia, of Rio Arrba, is
standing straight by his friends and the
desire of his constituents on the capital
removal question. He is doing his duty
as member in a very creditable and &C
ceptable manner and his record is clean
and good.
Hon. Francisco Lucero, of San Miguel
countv,is friend to Santa Fe and is
needing the wishes Of the many voters of
San Miguel county, who desire the capi-
tai retained in Santa Fe. Mr.. Luoero is
man of experience in public affairs and
is doing what he considers right, and is
doing it manfully.
Speaker Llewellyn proved himself a
true friend of Santa Fe today, for which
act he will not soon be forgotten by Santa
Fe people. As speaker of the house he
had it in his power to make matters
mighty unpleasant for this city, but he
acted fairly and justly in every ruling.
Representative j. Y. Lujan, of San
Miguel county, stood by old Santa Fe
nobly today. He does not believe in al
lowing socalled modern ideas to displace
patriotism and historical associations,
and had the courage of bis convictions,
which will not be forgotten by his friends
all over the territory.
In the future Councilman Hughes will
not use Halls Hair Remover any more.
He has wept and walled 30 much over the
defeat of the capital removal scheme that
he has filled a 40 gallon oask with. salty
and briny tears. He will use that cask
full hereafter and for the remainder Of his
natural life and will doubtless obtain
another luxurious growth Of hair.
Representative Max Luna, on the vote
today, did as was expected of him by his
| friends and we'll wishers. He stood
50 uarsly by Santa Fe and voted against
