Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, April Intelligence Of a
new movement in New Mexico, in the
interest of Statehood, is brought by H.
N. Glasgow, editor of the Sierra County
AdUocate, who is in the city. He says
New Mexico would have been made a
State last winter were it not for the in
fuence of Mexicans. The old "Don"
element of the Mexican race is as active
in its supremacy in New Mexico as it
ever vas in Old Mexico. No legislation
is effected in the Territory that is not
agreeable to the high-class Mexicans.
They dominate the country like feudal
lords. Recognizing this, and the fact
that it can never be otherwise" gays
Glasgow, 1--WE want to separate ourselves
from them"
Being asked Low this could be accom-
Alished, he said: 1.-THE Mexican and In
dian population is found almost alto
gether in the Northern and Eastern por-
ton OF the territory. The white, En-
glish-speaking people all live in the
Southwest portion. Two weeks ago, rep
resentatives from the live counties most
largely American met at Las Cruces, and
appointed committee to canvass the
district and influence the people in favor
of a division. To these counties
they propose to add Graham
and Cochise counties of Eastern
Arizona. The seven counties to-
gether have a population of $4,000
almost exclusively what may be demon.
mated American. The committee, said
Glasgow, has reported the people unani-
mously in favor of division. This
means that the Americans will leave the
other elements fair-sized Territory that
they can make State of when ready for
it,"
"But will Arizona consent to losing
part of her territory? ?" was asked.
"The people in the two counties named
are quite willing, and the western por-
ton of the Territory will be left to add
to Lower California when it shall become
desirable to make State of that coun-
try. We feel reasonably confident of
success, if we can ever get the question
before Congress in the right shape"

FOR LACK OF COAL
Our Ships Were wrecked and our
Hiue Jackets Drowned.

Btue JACKeSs DEO
SAN FRANcIsco, April 9.--It is claimed
here that the fact that the war-ships
lost at Samoa were without coal could
have been prevented. A prominent firm
in this city, acquainted with the Samoan
coast and the imminent danger to boats
unprovided with fuel at this time of the
year, made an offer through Paymaster
Goldsborough to supply Australian coal
to the vessels at Samoa at ten dollars a
ton. The firm could afford to do this,
as they have ships plying between this
city and Sydney. The offer was made to
the head of the Equipment Bureau at
Washington, and refused. The contract
was given to Philadelphia firm, who
shipped two thousand tons OF coal at
special rates. 1t is claimed that if the
offer of the Australian coal had been ac-
cepted the disaster might have been
avoided, as the coal would have been
placed on board within thirty days.

THE CANNED FRUIT TRADE.
It is being Gradually Killed by
ExOrbisant Freight Rates.


Exorbisant Freight Rates.
SAN Francisco, April "a meeting
of the dealers in canned fruits, and of
all persons interested in the production
or marketing of fruit, is called for Satur-
day, April 20.h, at the rooms of the San
Francisco Board of Trade. The traffic
agents of the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe railroads will be present, and it is ex-
pected that some action will be taken
toward reducing the overland freight
rates on canned goods. A member of
the firm OF A, Luak \ Co., Gamers, of
thia c:t c:.y, said to-day: ''rhs rate
on canned fruits last year WAS SO high
that the volume of business transacted
by the different cauneries was very ma
terially reduced, and since March 1st the
rate has advanced still more, which has
caused total cessation of business, and
the outlook at present is very dubious.
They all have considerable stock on hand, !,
with no spot trade, and, with the present
rate acting against them, the future trade
in canned fruits during 1889 is liable to
be a very limited one."

Calls the PennsvIVania N R.CO.
HARRIsBURG, Pa, April 9.-In q
speech in the House of Representatives
last night, Andrew Carnegie savagely
attacked the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, declaring it was injuring busi-
ness and depreciating the value of prop
erty in large sections in Pennsylvania in
order to hold its traffic monopoly. He
gave history of how it killed the South
Pennsylvania railroad scheme. The
road was to have been built; Vanderbilt
had subscribed So 900, 900, and Carnegie
81, 800, 900, but the Pennsylvania Com
pany drove him to recede from the pro-
jeot by threatening to injure his other
railroad properties. This was when he
was broken in health. Since his death
President Vanderbilt's management had
agreed to join with Carnegie in building
the South Pennsylvania road, but were
driven out by the same threats. Car
negie advised the Legislature to take the
matter in their own hands and bring the
Pennsylvania Company to terms.
