The NAME OF new MEXICO.
II Leads People Who Ought to Know Better to Class
This Territory Among Foreign Countries.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Questa, New Mexico, January 2, 1902.
While in Washington last June,
had an interesting chat with Colonel
Charles E. Slusser of the r. M. S., and
jotted down some of his memoranda
regarding confusion now unnecessarily
occasioned by mis-named states and
territories. Instead of the state Of
Washington, for instance, being well
named, it is not. Much mail destined
there starts first for the national capi-
tai. Then again, the name of this ter
ritory, New Mexico, so often enforces,
in conversation at least, the use Of the
world "old'' to distinguish the sister re-
public of this country on the south
from the territory, although It's name
is emphatically not "Old" Mexico.
was profoundly impressed in Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, etc,
with the ignorance of lawyers, doctors,
bank clerks, ETC., regarding New Mex
leo. They seemed to think that this
territory is still under Spanish domin-
ion and classed social conditions, titles
ETC., in the same category with those Of
Porto Rico or the Philip
pines. I noted also that they conced-
ed Colorado to be all right and assum-
ed it to possess all the culture, social
order and government that exists in
this part of the Union. think it is
high time to change the nature of the
name of this territory. Call 1t McKin-
ley, call it Roosevelt, some name that
is distincitively United States. Now is I
a good time to honor the late martyred |
president and benefit the territory at |
the same time. There is a great deal |
in a name. While we, who live here. |
have no objections ourselves to thai
mamie, New Mexico, as it is, knowing as
we do that it is naturally a better |
country than Colorado, it is the atten- |
ton of the eastern man that must be
arrested. Again, for example, there are
published in Columbus. Ohio, souvenir !
cards with this inscription Postage
'or the United States and Canada |
cent; for New Mexico. Europe and 9TH
ar foreign countries. 2 cents" bought |
some of these cards at Berger's drug |
store, 1874 North High street, Columbus,
ohio. Viva la State of Mckinley!

CONFIRMATION
OF o7ERo
More Than Four-Fifths Of the Senators. Both
Democrats and Republicans, Voted for Him.
A SPEECH BY PATTERSON
The Publisher Of the Rocky Mountain News and Colo
rado Senator Puts In a Good Word for the eXecu-
tive Of New Mexlco-Senator EIkns
Also Spoke.

A dispatch to the Denver papers from
| Washington says:
Governor Otero of New Mexico, was
confirmed this afternoon by the senate,
| by what amounted to a substantially
| unanimous vote. This result was in
teresting in view of the long and stub
born opposition from New Mexico and
the position taken by Senator Morgan
of Alabama, against Mr.. Otero. Sena-
tor Morgan completed long speech
against the New Mexico governor at =.
| late hour this afternoon.
Senator Patterson followed with a
| short but earnest talk in favor of Gov
ernor Otero. He bore personal testi-
|smony to the governors character and
| ability, speaking from long acquaint-
ance with the governor, his father and
his family, which is one long distin-
guished in New Mexico. He also dis
cussed the evidence against Otero
somewhat from legal standpoint and
found little or nothing of Importance in
1t.
spoke briefly but did not oppose Mr..
Otero personally. He simply spoke we'll
Of ex-Delegate Catron, who was con-
sidered the head and front of the op-
position to the governor. Senator Bev-
eridge, chairman of the committee on
territories, closed with a short state
ment of the attitude of the committee,
already expressd by it's unanimous re-
port in favor of the governor.
"The senate then voted and by a
fattering vote on both sides of the
chamber amounting to over four-fifth
of the senate, Governor Otero was con-
firmed and the long and stubborn New
Mexico contest was over.
Attorney General Knox made a re-
port to the president giving the results
of his examination into the charges
filed some time ago against Webster
Street, chief justice Of the supreme
court of Arizona, the charges including
bribery and extravaganza in Office The
sattorney general exonerates ludgt
Street of the charges of bribery and
extravaganza, ana says lndI tHe
charges were raised only upon rumors
and unverified insinuations.'
1T developed that the confirmation
of Ben Daniels as marshal Of Arizona,
was made during the absence of
number of interested senators. In the
executive session the following day,
Senator Teller asked that the confirm
alton be reconsidered and the nomina-
ton referred back to the judiciary COM
mittee for a rehearing. Daniels will
be called upon to explain his previous
occupations and certain incidents in
his career in Colorado and elsewhere
Delegate Rodey is quoted by
Washington newspaper as saying: If
the house of representatives fails to
pass the admission bills and thus does
rank injustice to the people of the ter
ritories, you may look to see three del
egates advance to the bar of the house
together and resign their commissions.
This is the only ftting protest we could
make against the aroat wrong done our
Delegate Rodey could not be found
this evening to verify this statement"

FRANCE AND VENEZUELA.
Another Cause for Trouble Between the Two Nations
Has Arisen.

Willemstadt, Island Of Curacao, Jan.
A.-In spite of the protests of the
French consul, President Castro sus-
tained the action of the Venezuelan au-
thorities at La Guira, who refused to
permit M. Secrestat, Jr., Of Bordeaux,
to land, although the government pre-
viously assured the consul that the
traveller might debark. 1t Is claimed
this incident makes it necessary for
the French government to take the
steps necessary in the cause and the
French cruisers Tage and Sauchet now
at Fort De France, will receive orders
to go to La Guira. Secrestat was ex-
cluded on the charge that he had met
the revolutionary leader, General Ma
tos at Fort De France, on the Island Of
Trinidad, but this is positively denied.
Secrestat intended to go to Caracas to
protest against the seizure Of the es-
tates of General Matos by the Vene-
zuelan government, the property hav-
ing been leased to Secrestat's father.
