PRESIDENTIAL VISITS.
The Coming Of Roosevelt Recalls the
Hayes Visit,
CONDITIONS ARE NOW DIFFERENT.

The visit and entertainment of the
president next month will not have
been the first time Of presidential
partys visit to this city. While the
entertainment of the coming party
may be upon a more elaborate scale
than was possible twenty-three years
ago, 1t cannot be more enthusiastic,
and while many OF our people may feel
that they have a grievance because of
a promise made and broken-of per-
sonal and official aid toward statehood
they will refrain from any express
ion that might mar the pleasures of a
guest.
The conditions, however, are differ
ent. Our coming guest Is an invited
one, and our former casually dropped
in as he was passing. Considering the
difference in the composition of our
citizens then and now, and the fact
that the bitterness engendered by the
finding of the commission determin-
ing the result Of the campaign of 1876
had not fully died out, the fact that
cheers were given for Sam Tilden, and
the president called usurper, is not sur
prising.
President Hayes, during the fall Of
1880 crossed to the Pacific coast
through the territories OF Oregon and
Washington and returned through Ari-
zona and New Mexico. The end of the
Southern Pacific railroad track was
then near the Arizona-New Mexico line
and the end of the Santa Fe track near
Las Cruces. The president and Mrs
Hayes and son, r. b., Jr., Secretary OF
War Ramsey, General Sherman and
daughter, General McCook and others
of the party roughed it from end of
track to end Of track, travelling about
sixty miles a day and camping at
night, one night at Cooks Springs, a
second at Los Palomas on the Rio
Grande, and reached the Santa Fe
track, and a special train there being
held for them on the afternoon of Oc-
tober 27, arrived in Albuquerque that
evening. The president had gone to
bed, but the callers were so enthusias-
tic, so "vociferous," as he put it, that
to give the ladies a needed rest he
dressed. came upon the platform and
greeted all with a good word and
hand shake. The stop here was less
than half an hour, and while there

OLD CASE DECIDED.
Docket Cleared Of a Celebrated Land
Grant Suit.
MASTERS REPORT APPROVED.

After twenty-five years ON the docket
of the Bernalillo county district court,
case No. 213. fled in 1878, was at last
decided. This novel suit, which was
brought a quarter of century ago,
was that of Jose l.. Perea ct al. VS..
with the partition of the great Ojo del
Esperito Santa land grand in what is
now Sandoval county, then part of
Bernalillo, consisting of 1874 acres.
This particular land grant is consid-
cred one of the most valuable of the
greater Spanish grants. 1t Is located
in the best section of Sandoval county
and contains many valuable acres of
grazing and coal lands.
The original plaintiff, Jose Leandro
Perea, the founder of the great Perea
family in Bernalillo county, was in his
day prominent and powerful man in
New Mexico, but he has been dead
more than twenty years.
The decision of the court yesterday
In approving the report Of Special Mas.
ter p. F. McCanna is victory for the
defendants and is merely legal form
following the sale of certain lands in
the grant made by the special master
several months ago.
The principal interest in the suit
was that 1t removed a case which has
ornamented the docket of the district
court for quarter of century.

FREIGHT WRECK.
II Occurred Last Night at the Hill
Near lamy Junction.
NUMBER OF CARS DITCHEp.

A complicated wreck of west
bound freight on trestlo three miles
east of Lamy Junction last night about
3 o'clock caused delay OF about elev.
en- hours in the passenger and freight
traffic. The wreck was caused by a
gondola leaving the track just as it
was starting over the trestle. Eight
cars were ditched and piled up in such
manner across the tracks that it took
long time to get the track cleared
and repaired. The wrecking crew from
Albuquerque was ordered out and left
here last night about 10 o'clock The
rolling stock was damaged consider
ably, but most fortunately no one was
injured.
Passenger train No. was held east
of the wreck, arriving here at 10:30
this morning and the east bound lin.
tied leaving here at IL o'clock last
night was delayed about six hours.
The Santa Fe branch stub train
came into Lamy about 5 o'clock last
night, loaded down with live Elks, who
enjoyed eight long hours seeing the
sights of the famous layout junction.
However learning the nature of the
wreck and that 1t would take longer
to clear away the wreckage than was
first supposed the trainmaster ordered
the stub train to be run to Albuquer-
que. This train load of Santa Fe Elks
arrived here at A o'clock this morning.
The Ell Paso train left here about II
o'clock this morning instead of II
o'clock last night. 1t carried a train
load of tired and worn out passengers,
who waited all night and all morning
to be off.

DISTRICT COURT.
The Pueblo Indian Suit Decided In
Favor Of Plaintiff,
OTHER COURT MATTERS.

In the Pueblo Indian case tried in
district court yesterday, the jury re.
turned a verdict for 5000 damages
The suit was brought by Juan Rey
Abeyta against the village officers for
false imprisonment. The court, after
the dismissal of the jury found among
the papers another verdict finding de-
PENDANTS not guilty. This morning the
jury was recalled and explained that
the verdict was signed by mistake and
that the 5000 damage verdict was the
correct one. 1t is likely that the case
will be appealed to the supreme court,
as the result of this case will have a
to break up the tribal GUS
toms of the Pueblo Indians and de-
stroy the government that has existed
for centuries. The trouble In this par.
ticular case grew out of the fact that
the plaintiff had In violation of his
agreement with the Pueblo authorities
rented a house belonging to himself
to an American. The tribal law is that
no Indian should rent any house In the
PuObiO W ObhOi lhdh uh IL
was for violation of this law that the
defendants incarcerated the plaintff.
The plaintiff admitted the agreement
and testified that he went to jail vol
unfairly, but counsel contended that it
was through fear of the consequences
and that his acts were therefore done
under duress. And it was with this
view of the case that the jeury render.
er their decision.
The court then tried the case of the
southwestern Brewery and Ice COM
pany against AL Coleman on a note
for $275 and interest. The defendant
admitted the execution of the note,
but pleaded an Offset on account OF
contract for employment for a year
at 500 a month, and tina. he was dis
in the fourth month of the
term without cause. In the evidence
the defendant failed to fix any specific
term for employment. and the court
thereupon instructed the jury that un-
der contract for hire for an indefinite
period the plaintiff had the right to
discharge the defendant at any time,
with or without cause, and instructed
the jury to bring verdict in the plain

Washington, Auril 16.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed.
Grafton of Labor is at present out OF
the city and no statement concerning
his views on Presidents Parry's at
tack on trades unionism before the
convention of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers at New Orleans
day before yesterday is obtainable
Views expressed by other officials at
the general headquarters here make
it apparent that the federation is pre-
pairing for the expected onslaught of
the manufacturers and will use every
endeavor to be in the best of trim
when the fight comes,
The speech of President Parry was
no surprise to the labor leaders as his
hostility toward union labor has long
been manifest. In fact, the manu-
featuring concern at Indianapolis of
which he is the head, has been placed
on the unfair list by the local unions
and open warfare between Mr.. Parry
and the unions has been in existence
for some time. The labor leaders,
however. say that Mr.. Parry allowed
his personal animosity to carry him
too far in his denunciations of trades
unions before the manufacturers.
Among other things he is quoted as
saying that labor unions are an un-
American institution, that they do not
place their reliance on reason and
justice and that they have become a
menace to free government
1T is despotism in the midst of a
liberty loving people," declared the
president of the manufacturers as
sociation, and continued. Its history
is stained with blood and ruin. Wrongs
committed by it cry unto Heaven. 1t
demands of congress the privilege OF
violating laws against the destruction
of property. 1t extends its tactics OF
coercion and intimidation everywhere
debating to press ami politicians and
strangling independent thought and
American manhood. 1t holds a blud
geon over the head of every employer
1t denies the individual the right OF
being his own judge as to the length
III eiihC hC ohuh Woih anu hS W Wuat
he shall do within the time prescribed
1t places a premium on Incidence and
incompetency and restricts human
effort, reducing the aggregate produc
ton and increasing the cost of things
produced. Union labor is composed OF
men of muscle, rather than men of in
telligence, and Is commanded by lead
ers who are at heart disciples of rev.
olution."
In organized labor circles the ad.
dress of Mr.. Parry and its cordial re.
ception by his audience is regarded as
an indication that the association
which heretofore has concerned itself
almost wholly with the extension OF
American commerce, is about to de-
part from its conservative policy and
throw down the gauntlet for fight to
the finish with the trades unions
Under the guidance of the American
Federation of Labor the latter are be-
ing marshalled for the fray, hundreds
of organizers being in the field secur.
ing recruits and bringing together the
smaller unions into one compact body
so that they may be more effectively
managed in the coming struggle.
