Grade Crossing at craKieY's.

The commissioner IN the Southern
Missouri aud NJ Il. 6 y. T. case met
last Saturday, bnt adjourned to meet
agsin (to.morrow) Friday, sheB Il Is
hoped a final decision will be reached.
We understand that the commissioners
agreed on a grade crossing over Craw-
ley's switch, but one Of them wanted
more time to consider the main line
crossing, and an adjournment was
taken until Friday.
Since the commissioners have put
the Southern Missouri over the Craw-
ley switch AT grade, and In accordance
with It's maps aud profile, filed 10 the
Office of the Clerk Of the County Court
of this county, they ought not to hesi-
tate to let 1t gross tho main line al
grade. for the following reason: This
weight Of tho testimony of the Rail-
road Commissioners, civil engineers
aud others ios!iiying in behalf Of the
N. X. q d. I. regarded the Crawlcy
switch crossing more dangerous than
the main line crossing, because the
crossing at tho Crawley switch is at
tue foot Of q three per cent. grade,
while the grade At the main line cross.
ing Is only Ia per cent.

ROOSEVELT S0RR0WFUJ
Hs Arrived at Buffalo This Afternoon and
Immediately Called at the Honse of
Mourning After Which the Oath
Was Administered.

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-President Roose-
welt has taken the oath of office at the
Wilcox house. The oath was adminis-
| tered to President Roosevelt by Judge
Hazel of the United States district
court in the library of Mr.. Wilcox's
house. Surrounding Mr.. Roosevelt
We're Secretaries FL :, Hitchcock,

Hazel.
Judge Hazel stood near the president
in a bay window The latter showed
his almost extreme nervousness At
1882 o'clock, Secretary Root said in al
most inaudible voice: "Mr. Vice Presi-
dent, I" then his voice broke, and for
fully two minutes tears came down his
face, and he could not continue. There
were sympathetic tears from those
about him and two great drops ran
down either cheek of the successor of
William Mckinley. Suddenly throw
ing back his head, as if with an effort,
he continued in broken voice: II have
been requested on behalf of the cabi-
net of the late president, to request
that for reasons of the weight of affairs
of government, you should proceed to
take the constitutional office of the
president of the United States"
Roosevelt said in voice that at first
wavered, but finally came deep and
strong: I'm this hour of dep and nat
ional bereavement, I wish to state that
1T shall be my aim to continue abso-
lutely and without variance, the poll
cy of President Mckinley for the peace
and the prosperity and the honor of
our beloved country
Judge Hazel, taking up the constitu-
tional oath of office, asked the presi-
dent to raise his right hand and repeat
it after him. There was a hush like
death in the room as the Judge read a
few words at time and the president
in a strong voice without tremor and
with his raised hand as steady as II
carved from marble, repeated 1t after
him. "And thus swear" he ended it.
The president turning to a small table
nearby wrote Theodore Roosevelt" at
the bottom of the document in a firm
hand. After shaking the hands Of all
present, the president held a brief con-
ference with the members Of the cab

UNIVERSAL SORROW AT
M'KIHLEY'S DEATH.
Governor Otero Feels as if He Had Again
Lost His Father Message of Con-
dolenoe to Mrs. Mckinley.

The appalling and sorrowful news o
the death of the president, at Buffalo
early this morning, was received by tn
many warm friends and admirers o
that great and wise statesman ard pur,
man, and by the people of this city ant
territory with great sadness anl sorrow
Expressions of siucerest sympathy will
Mrs. Mckinley and Of universal regret
at the presidents death were heard
every where and from every body
throughout this great territory. In
Santa Fe, specially was this the case, and
amongst the many who are mourning
the demise of William Mckinley, now
with the silent majority, are many of
the leading and most prominent citizens
of the territory; as the dead president
had endeared himself, officially and per-
sonaily in many ways, to them and spe-
cially to Governor Otero.
A representative of this paper called
upon the governor and found him in the
executive office looking and feeling as
il the death of his father had again
occurred. In answer to an inquiry the
governor handed the New Mexican a
copy of dispatch which he had just
sent to Mrs. Mckinley. which is pub
lished herewith and said: Il cannot
express my feelings in this matter any
better than to say, it seems to me that
the father who was kind. loving and
helpful to me from the moment of my
birth to his death has again left me,
never to return. l have known Presi-
dent Mckinley for fifteen years or more
and In that time have learned to love,
respect and admire him as much as
such feelings can agitate q human heart
and mind. His uniform kindness,
courtesy and sincere friendship to me
naturally would have won my gratitude,
love and admiration, but those In addi-
tion to his grand character, officially
and private, his wisdom, his statesman
ship and his great knowledge of men,
their motives and affairs, grew upon me
from time tostime, that for years past
set him before myself for emulation and
as an example Of what citizen of this
country should and ought to be. Words
nre inadequate to express my great
sorrow and grief at his death and time
alone can assuage this grief and sorrow.
Mrs. Otero who had also been honored
with the friendship Of the President and
Mrs. Mckinley feels as strongly as l do. y
The governor was preparing then and
there to issue proclamation, setting
apart the day Of the funeral, of the late
president as day OF memorial and
sorrow on the part Of the people Of New
Mexico; this will be found In another
column of this issue. The dispatch sent
to Mrs. Mckinley reads as follows:
Santa Fe, N. M, Sep. IA, 1901.
Mrs. William Mckinley, Milburn House,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Accept profound sympathy Of Mrs.
Otero and myself in your great bereAve-
ment. New Mexico mourns with the
whole people, mot selhshly for their own
irreparable loss, but for you who are left
alone. MIGUEL A. OTERO.

| Whereas, The Territory of New Mex
leo through it's last and many preced-
ing legislatures has memorialzed the
congress Of the United States to pass
an enabling act for its admission to the
union as sovereign state; and
Whereas, The undersigned, as COVER
nor, has in his reports to the secretary
| of the interior repeatedly urged our
| claims for admission, settir forth rea-
sons and arguments therefor; ana
Whereas Our delegate in congress,
the members of the national commit
tee and the chairman of the territorial
committees of both the great political
parties, and many other prominent and
responsible persons in the territory
have urged the calling of non-partis-
an convention to be composed of the
representative citizens, residents of
the several counties of the territory for
the purpose of taking appropriate ac-
ton upon this subject; and
Whereas, The undersigned as exec
utive of the Territory Of New Mexico
believes that such a convention COM

the consideration of the question of
our admission as a state; the passing
of appropriate resolutions to that end,

pie on the subject to congress as may
be best calculated to secure it's favora-

The ALBUQUERQUE FAIR.
Great Progress Is Being Mace in Securing
Exhibits.

Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, N. M, Sept 4.-At a
meeting of the executive committee OF
the Albuquerque Fair association held
last evening, great amount of work
was done in the way Of perfecting ar
rangements for the territorial fair
The work of the association has pro-
gressed most satisfactorily and the
success of the fair Is assured. There
will be exhibits from nearly every
county in the territory. The southern
and southwestern tier of counties have
active committees in the field and the
work of securing exhibits of their re-
sources is well under way,
The Agricultural college will. have an
exhibit at the fair which will far sur
pass anything ever attempted from an
educational institution in the west.
Every department of the college will
make an exhibit and the visitors at the
fair will have an opportunity of seeing
just what is being done by that ex-
cellent institution in the training of
young men and young women.
The Hyde exploring expedition has
already secured large space in the
floral hall wherein to exhibit what Is
being done in the territory by that
concern. An exhibition of Indian blan-
kets, pottery and curiosities with sew
eral Indian weavers at work will be
some of the features Of the Hyde dis
play.
c. T. Brown of Socorro, is in charge
Of the exhibit from Socorro county. He
with his assistants, are already in the
field and from the letters read at the
meeting from Mr.. Brown it is certain
that the resources of Socorro county
will be we'll exhibited. Otero, Luna and
Grant counties are bestirring them
selves, and most fiattering reports as
to the progress of work in the other
were read. San Juan county
will have great fruit exhibit.
The people of the territory generally
seem to be alive to the Importance Of
every resource of our territory
at the coming fair as an ad-
argument for statehood.
