Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Las Vegas, May 7, lS97.-Through the
stupidity of some one, the members OF
the Grand Army of the Republic, we're not
received in Las Vegas today as they should
be at their annual meeting. Not nag
was flying or building decorated in
their honor. This is not Las Vegas style
in welcoming honored guests, and the
fault seems to be with the home post OF
the G. A. R. in not advertising the meet
ing.
May 20 is the day set for the reopening
of the Monteza hotel. 1t is said that the
fare and service OF this magnificent hotel
will be up to the standard of former
years, but the rates will be considerable
less than those charged heretofore. If
the management will now cater to the
people of the southwest instead of people
of the far east who never get here, it
may look for some degree of success.
There is another hotel proposition on
foot that may end in giving East Las
Vegas what has long been needed, really
first class hotel. Fred Harvey was here
recently and it is ramored that he will
soon commence the erection of fine
hotel near the depot.
Professor Hand is arranging for a
series of summer concerts to be given in

listening to the strains of magnificent

dence will be generously thrown open for
the occasion. The seating capacity will
be over 200 and chairs and other incidental
items have been donated for the occasion

IT is good policy for the administra-
ton to keep off appointments of consuls
and the like until after the passage of the
tariff bill. But what the appointment of
governor for New Mexico has to do
with the tariff question is not exactly
clear. The NEW MEXICAN does not think
the tariff question has ought to do with
it. 1t is more likely that the president
has q uite a serious job on his hands to
decide between the numerous applicants
for the place.

with the citizens Of Socorro, and visitors
from abroad. The young and fair graoed

enjoyment for the evening.
The stage and hall were beautifully
decorated with Towering plants, flags and
drapings.
The exercises were opened by prayer
offered by R. G. Stewart, of Socorro. He
was followed by the Hon. W. B. Childers,
of Albuquerque, U. S. district attorney,
who delivered the address of the evening.
His address was timely and practical,
delivered in we'll chosen language and
expressed forcibly. Among other things
he said: "The true efficiency of the Uni
versity and the technical institutions of
the territory was hampered by the imper-
| fection of the common schools. These
institutions can not attempt to perform

schools are prepared to supply the mate.

the work of development of New Mexico

accomplishment of that development"

board of trustees, 10 few well chosen
remarks delivered the diploma carrying
with it the degree of bachelor of science
in chemistry to Otto ]. Tuschka of So
zorro. Mr.. Tuschka was raised in So
corro and was one of the first enrolled
under the administration of DR.. Davis
When the school was reopened under the
present management he returned ano

every one and admired for his pluck

duct. His future is very promising anG

Mines and territory.
The exercises we're brought to con
clusion by the director, W. H. Seamon

A, T, AND S, r, FINANCES,

Financial affairs of the A. T. 4 S. F. rail
road are bettering themselves right along
says the Wall Street Daily News:
Boston advices state that the companys
earnings for March increased about
$250.00N. The cattle business has been
particularly heavy. If net earnings for
March. April, May and June are no lar
ger than they were for the correspond
ing period last year the company
will show about 3 4 per cent earned for
the year on the adjustments 4s. The Santa
Fe has expended more money on, its
property the past year than any other
reduced operating cost later.
All of this is encouraging to the holders
of the companys adjustment per cent
bonds, albeit according to the terms OF
issue there can be no interest paid on
them until next October. The mortgage
says:
''On or before the 18th day of October in
each year, beginning with the year 1897,
the board of directors shall and will
ascertain the surplus net earnings for
the fiscal year ending on the preceding
Both day of June, of the railways and
other property covered by this mort
gage and of the railway company from
all sources, and shall determine the rate
of interest, If any, which such surplus
net earnings shall suffice to pay pro rata
on the bonds hereby secured-that is to
say, non-cumulative interest at the rate
of per cent for each fiscal year, up to
June 30 1900, and cumulative interest at
the rate of per cent per annum after
that date
