Testimony to be Taken as to Their Fitness
for Statehood.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-At meeting of
the house committee on territories to day,
the subject of consideration was the bills
for the admission of New Mexico and Ari-
zona into the Union. preamble and res
olutions in regard to the matter. drawn
up by Representative Mansur, of Missouri,
was unanimously adopted. The preamble
recites that there have been bills introduced
in the house and referred to the territorial
committee looking to the future admission
of the territories of New Mexico and Ari-
zona as states, and that contrariety of opin-
ion exists as to the wisdom and propriety
of their immediate admission to the Union.
The resolution authorizes the committee on
territories to send subcommittee
of seven members to New Mex
leo and Arizona, with authority to in
quire into the social, educational, financial
and moral conditions existing in the terri
tories and report whether the territories, in
justice to themselves and their relations to
other states of the Union, are prepared for
statehood or not. The resolution also
authorizes the subcommittee on their trip
to visit such localities in the territory of
Utah as they may deem proper, and there
take and report testimony upon the ques-
tion of the prevalence and extent of or de-
cadence of doctrines and practices OF plural
and celestial marriages as taught by the
heads of the Mormon church. The COM
mittea is required to make its report at the
second session of the present congress.

NEW YoRx. Sept. 2.-The state board Of
arbitration began an investigation here to-
day in regard to the difficulties existing be-
tween the New York Central Railway COM
pany and the Knights Of Labor. Third
Vice President Webb, of the New York
Central. was the first witness, and he said
the company had no, controversy with its
employees; that on the evening Of August
large number Of the employees left and
their places had been filed. The alleged
cause was that seventy eight members out
Of 5000 had heen discharged. They
cause but only seven Of tGoss
men applied to the company fol
information a. to tho reason Why they were
discharged. subsequently,, . gentleman
from another state called and wanted TO
know Why tho men were discharged. Wit
gentleman was Mr.: Holland. Upon being
cross examined BY Cen. Roger Pryor, Webb
said he had discharged tho mon ON reports
from members Of the secret service
of the company. Tho charge itself
was unsatisfactory service. An engineer
named Lee Was discharged for unsatisfac.
insolent, and said he would tie up every
wheel between here and Buffalo il he did
not get some Of Vanderbilt's money.
Continuing, Webb said several Of the
men knew the cause for which they were
discharged. Their relations with the
knights of Labor had nothing to do with
their discharge. Mr.. Pryor endeavored to
find out if the knights Of Labor question
had been discussed by the board OF dlrec-
tors, but the board declined to admit the
question.
'.Ihat shuts US on," remarked Pryor,
turning around TO the Knights Of Labor
arranged for services Of Pinkerton men
some time before the strike.
Webb was followed by members Of the
Knights Of Labor dismissed by the New
York Central. Their testimony went over
the alleged and supposed cause Of their
with, already substantially covered in these
dispatches.
Holland and Devlin, executive commit
teemen, testified to their effort to bring
about settlement Of the difficulty by arbi-
tration. +. J. Lee introduced the CORES
pondence between himself and Powderly.
The latter advised him to move cautiously,
as be was competing with corporation
that controlled votes. On Aug. 2 Powderlv
wrote: II regret to hear Of the condition
of affairs. If there is to be trouble it will

suggestion: Select from your men such as
are good and reliable and secure places
for them in the west. Then have them
ask for shorter hours and higher wages.
This the road will not grant. Then have
them quit and take the places secured for
them. Do this secretly and wait until De-
pew returns. He is presidential candi-
date and would not care for strike on his
road.''
Pending the strike he had no interview
with cny of the roads officials. He related
his interview with Webb, but brought out
nothing new.

John Hove, of town Of Norway.
Mr.. Hove is the uncle Of Chr. Cor

county IN the spring Of 1883 poor
man, but with economy and hard
labor he has been able to accumu-
late quite large tract of land and
other property. He had at the time
of his de ath four quarter sections.
But the hard labor has told its tale
and Mr.. Hove has been constant
sufferer the last three or four years
from sickness from which he ex-
pected to get we'll after an operation,
and went to Minneapolis the Oath
day Of December last, in company
with Mr.. Gorder. After painful op-

of Sc years. Cakes can i'll afford to

lily of the deceased has our hea 'tfelt
