WASHINGTON. MATTERS.
NEW STATES GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.--The senate com
mittee on territories held meeting yester
day to consider Senator Platt's bill for ad
mission into the union OF Idaho aud Wyo
ming territories. Delegates Dubois and
delivered speeches containing information
as to the development of their respective
territories, and the reasons why the people
of these sections demand statehood
Delegate Dubois spoke about twenty
minutes, and Delegate Carey almost as
long. Both gentlemen were armed with
qures of statistics and made distinct
impression upon the minds of their listen
ers. A. G. Campbell, United States dis
trict attorney of Wyoming was also pres
ent at the meeting and volunteered some
suge geestions of value.
The members of the committee were
much interested in the subject, and from
remarks which they made during the
meeting it is evident that a majority OF
the committee are favorable to the meas
ure proposed. 1t is thought that the bill
will be reported favorably to the senate
soon after the holiday recess.
NEW MExTCos DELEGATE NOT THERE.
New Mexico was not mentioned during
the discussion. 1t is understood that the
delegate from that territory is not in favor
of the constitution recently adopted, but
prefers admission under the terms of an
enabling act. Congress will wait until
the representatives of New Mexico come
to an agreement as to what they really
do want before taking action.
HOLIDAY RECESS.
The house concurrent resolution for a
holiday recess from Saturday next till
Monday, January &, was concurred in by
the senate.
ARIZONA SCHOOL LANDS.
In the senate Senator Teller introduced
bill so authorize leasing school and uni
versity lands in the territory of Arizona.
1t is similar to the Wyoming laws.
A NATIONAL SCHOOL.
A bill containing the outlines of ma
tional school has been introduced by Mr..
Ingalls,. 1t provides for the appointment
of national board of education, consist
ing of one member from each state and
territory and the district of Columbia,
who shall have charge OF all the machin-
cry of the school system, the districts OF
which shall be established wherever the
parents of twenty-five children ask for
the appointment of teacher. All in
struction shall be in English
THOSE WHO OPPOSED BREWER.

TEXAS DEEP WATER.
Army Engineers Favor Galveston First
Three Great Harbors on the Gulf.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The report o
the commission of army engineers ap
pointed by an act of the last congress tC
locate the best point for first class har
Dor on the Texas coast, is in favor of Gal
weston as the only point on the coast 0
Texas reasonably susceptible OF beinl
made first class harbor The commits
sioners 20 into the history of harbor i'm
provements on the Texas coast at great
length. The availability of the competing
points from land view is incidentally
considered. The cost of completing the
first class harbor is only incidentally con-
sidered
The commissioners say that there is not
much prospect of obtaining thirty feet of
water al mean low tide at any point on
the Texas coast save at Galveston. Padre
island is dismissed from consideration
with few words. The mouth of the
Brazos, Corpus Christi and Brazos San
tiago are declared too small in area. San
Luis pass is not large enough. 1t would
require $4,OOO,0OO to put twelve feet of
water on the bar at Pass Cavallo. The
commissioners intimate that Galveston,
Aransas Pass and Sabine Pass are the
only harbors on the Texas coast worth
spending money on.
Thirty feet of water can be established
easily and maintained cheaply at Calves
ton. Twenty feet of water can be estab-
lished at Aransas and Sabine without
any great expenditure. Sabine has the
advantage OF having softer bar than
any Of the others. Aransas has the
advantage of the shortest distance across
its bar to deep water and the disadvan-
tage of a smaller area % Geap water in
side the bar than either Sabine or Gal
weston. Galveston has the advantage of
having the largest area of deep water in
side the bar, and an open roadstead.
Galveston is also credited with being the
most central location for deep water
port for large area of Texas and other
southwestern states; has better railroad
facilities and is credited with q popula-
ton Of $4,000. Galveston has the dis
advantage of having the longest distance
for which works must be constructed.
The commission has no doubt that Gal
weston can be made a first class harbor
in every way, and estimates that it can
be made equal to New York or Baltimore.
The commission recommends an ap-
preparation of $4,000, 900 to complete
the work at Galveston, which means to
establish tirst-class harbor with thirty
feet Of water at mean low tide. The sug-
gestion is made that one-third of this
amount could be made available for the
first year, and one-third for the second
and onethird for the third year. There
is no reason why this work should not be
completed and a first-class harbor estab
lished within four years and possibly in
three years.
The commission speaks very kindly of
Sabine and Arkansas. They can be made
excellent harbors for commerce and refuge
Twenty-feet of water can be established
at Sabine for 81 SOL ,250, and at Aransas
for 81 All ,293.

HELENA, Dec. 20.-Little transpired in
either house of the legislature yesterday.
After roll call the senate took recess un-
til p. m. and forthwith went into Joint
caucus in order to arrive at some under
standing as to permanent organization
The most important event of the day was
the filing of suit against State Auditor
Kennedy by Col. W. N. Saunders, as at
torney for the Republican members Of the
lower house. The suit is brought to COM
pei the auditor to pay mileage and per
diem to the members, which he had re-
fused to do as no appropriation had been
made for such payment. 1t is apparent
that the suit is brought in order to bring
the whole question before the courts.
