LET NEW MEXICO COME IN.
The New Mexicans who are in Wash
ington for the purpose of advancing the
interests OF that territory are almost to a
man urging the passage of an act to enable
the people of New Mexico to organize
state government. 1t appears that the
sentiment of the house committee on ter
rltores has undergone conside able change
in regard to the propriety and wisdom of
admitting New Mexico into the uni N at
this time. a short while ago the senti-
ment was strongly against admission but
it seems now that if the New Mexicans
were to exhibit strong desire for state
hood, permission to establish state gov
eminent would be granted them. New
Mexi . ought to be let into the union, il
the people of that territory desire to or
ganize state government. 1t has sufli-
cent population and sutiicieat wealth to
maintain q state government.-De

Statehood for New Mexico means I'M

Secretary Clarkson says the campaign
OF 1892 will be mainly newspaper cam

TIRED OF LIFE.
A Weclthy New Yorker Suicides in Yo-
kOhama.

kOhamas
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. lon the morn
ing of September 9Th, a young man
named Leonard Tobias, of New York.
committed suicide by shooting himself
while in bed at the Grand hotel. Yoko-
homa. He had been resident in the
hotel since the arrival of the steamship
China, about the middle of last month.
Attic inquest, report ofwhich!has been
received by the arrival of the
China here, it appeared that the act was
probably committed while laboring
under a severe attack of depression
caused partly by financial worry and
partly by a feeling of jealousy, seeming
ly groundless, regarding his wife. Tobias
was young man and his parents are
stated to be wealthy people in New York
city. One of the witnesses testified that
the deceased told him that he was in
possession of some 100000 or $780,
600 in his own right. and his
father was a man worth
from 81 100000 to $1O,OOO,OOO. Witness
said Tobias sat down in his Office and
wrote cablegram to L. Tobias, 10 Wall
street, New York. in which he said:
"Cable me $4,000 to Hong Kong and
Shanghai bank. LEONARDO
II have every reason to believe" con-
tinued witness, 'that he did not receive
a reply. Tobias had just before his
death bargained for large quantity
of curios aggregating in value, accord
ing to one dealer, $4,000. He ordered
the things packed up, and said he
would settle for them next morning.
When the morning came he was dead"
His widow, Maud Tobias, testified
that she believed it was due to
financial difficulties, but there had
been some trouble with his family.
They did not recognize her because she
had never given them an opportunity to
do SO.
DR.. Hall, Tobias's physician, testified
that the deceased had told him he was
jealous of his wife, but did not believe
there was any ground for it.

BIDS ON BATTLE SHIPS.
The Union Iron Works Likely to 5000
One Of the Contracts.

The Union Iron Works Likely to Scoop
One Of the Contracts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. bids were OPEN
ed at the navy department today for the
construction of three coast line battle
ships and one protected triple screw
cruiser, provided for by the act of con-
gress OF June 80, 1890. There were two
classes of bids for battle ships, one for
their construction according to the de-
partment's plans, the other according to
the bidders plans. William f.. Cramp
& Sons, of Philadelphia, offered to build
one of the battle ships according
to the departments plans, for $780,
600, and two for IS, $50, 900. Using their
own plans they will build one for 49,
100000, and two for $6,040,0 This
firm offered to build the protected
cruiser on the departments plans for
$2,725, 900.
The Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, offered to build one of these bat
tie ships according to the departments
plans for So, 24O, 900, and two for Sc, AGO.
600. Their bid for the cruiser was 49,
O25,OOO.
The Bath Iron Works, of Bath, Maine,
offered to build one battle ship accord
ing to the departments plans for So, 49,
600, and the Risdon Iron Works, of San
Francisco, offered to build one for 49,
275, 900.
There were no other bidders.
In view of the provision that one of
the battle ships shall be built on the
Pacific Coast, it is likely that the Union
Iron Works will get the contract for one
of the battle ships, and the Cramps will
probably get the contract for the other
two battle ships and the protected
cruiser.

seats. He merely stated, that according
to the concurrent resolution, he declared
the first session of the fifty-irst congress
adjourned without day.

HOUsE PROCEEDINGS.
After Day Of Waiting and Wrangling
Final Adjournment is Taken.

Fln0l adjournment Is I0kens
WASHINGTON, Oct. LIN the house
today before the reading of the journal,
Breckenridge. of Kentucky, raised the
point of no quorum. While waiting for
quorum message from the senate
was announced, stating its agreement
to the conference report on the tariff
bill. Shortly before O'Clock Breckin-

ference report on the bill to dispose of
the Fort Ellis military reservation, Mon
tana. This bill, Allen, of Mississippi,
took as a text for political speech, in
which he charged the Republican party
with degeneracy and inconsistency. To
say that the Republican party had be-
gun with Abraham Lincoln and ended
with Benjamin Harrison, was proof that

although the relations between Dalton
(previous postmaster) and Calberton
email contractor) had given rise to grave
suspicion that there was some private
arrangement between them whereby
Dalton, during the forty-ninth and
fiftieth congresses derived personal pro-
fits out of his contracts for carrying the
mails, no absolute proof was obtained.
The report was accompanied by res
olution declaring the Office Of postmaster

AtuosDheric Dust,

Extremely fine particles Of mineral dust
may exist in the atmosphere, and do exist
there more frequently than Is generally
thought, while they escape detection by
our senses. The author. while making ex-
periments on the Peak Of TenerifTe. in 1873,
to71nd the knife edges of his balance so
clpgged with this invisible dust that the
balance refused to act. When wiped off =,
the dust collected again in few minutes,
and it was only by continual wiping it
away that he was able TO 60 on with his in
vestigation. Professor Piazzi Snyth, while
on the Peak of Teneriie, witnessed strata
of dust rising to a height of nearly
a mile, reaching ont to the horizon in
every direction, and so dense as to
hide frequently the neighboring hills.
Professor s. P. Langley, looking down
from the height of 1900 feet On Mount
Whitney, California, into region that
had appeared clear from the valley below,
saw "a kind of level dust ocean, invisible
from below, but whose depth was six or
seven thousand fest, as the upper portion
only of the opposite mountain range rose
clearly out of it."
Dust storms are classified by DR.. Henry
Cook, according to their intensity, as stmo.
spheric dust, dust colEmns and dust
storms Dr.. Cook has observed in India
that there are some Gays On which, how
ever hard and violently the wind may blow,
no dust accompanies il, while on others

| MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 20. = The
Northwestern Miller says: The flour out
put of the mills last week was slightly in
crease, being 63,620 barrels, averaging TO-
603 daily, against $3.50 the week before,
liz, 200 for the corresponding time in 1885
and 111,46O in 1888. The water was
| set into the canal Tuesday, after
| being shut off for three months,
and since then more mill have
been running, though there are sew
eral that are unable to use water. There
were eleven In operation yesterday, two or
three of which were using steam in whole
or in part. The output was at the rate OF
1880 barrels per twenty-four hours. The
hour market seems to be wholly without
any feature of improvement. Some OF the
eastern -four men present at the millers'
convention think that they discern more
interest as shown by consumers, and are
hopeful of a good demand setting in very
soon. A local miller of bullish proclivities
today remarked that it was in this very dl-
rectlon that he found reason for holding to
the bull side of the market.
Sales of -four for the week have been
small lots, mostly for territory west OF
New England. Prices are 15d2Oc lower,
and some firms have a tPif}s more inquiry
from abroad for patents, few sales being
effected from London at about 29s Cd.
Nearly every one is pretty well sold ahead
on bakers; and if patents could be moved
more freely there would be greater dis
position TO increase the production
Low grades are in very good de-
mand at fair prices. Freight rates
are gradually declining and are at point
quite favorable to exporting. The export
shipments for the week were Il, $50 barrels,

THE COTTON sELT ROBBERS.

TExARKANA, Ark. June 20-The pro-
ceedings in Justice Cannon's court, in the
trial of the alleged Cotton Belt robbers,
were intensely interesting. Detective
Williams, said to be the ring leader Of the
gang that committed the robbery, was
again placed in the prisoner dock, and his
trial resumed. The train Of circumstantial
evidence was followed up. Ono of the wit
nesses for the state, VI. H. Fensele, testl-
fled that Mcdaniel, one of the defendants,
invited him repeatedly to assist him in the
proposed train robbery: that Mcdaniel dis
closed the plan of operations, and stated
that four men were required to do the job.
and they had obtained only three. Efforts
were made the evening before the robbery
to obtain his help, and, when he refused,
he was threatened with death If he dis
closed the secret
Another witness, brakeman on the
Texas q Pacific railway, named David
Hart testified that the accused, Williams,
had attempted at different times to induce
time they had in contemplation and had
the plan arranged, to rob the Interstate
National bank, of this city. Williams had
2 room over the bank, and the plan was to
raid the institution at precisely y o'clock
some day. Two of the men were to go in
at the front and present a check, while
two were to pass in the back way
and surprise the cashier while he
was paying the check. The arrangements
were said to be complete, even to the sad
dle-bags for carrying the money away and
the escape of the raiders. Hart stated
further that the plan from some cause mis-
carried.
The state concluded its testimony this
evening and the court adjourned until
Monday morning to give the defendants
time to secure their witnesses Ratcliff,
the wounded prisoner, is said to be rapidly
sinking, but stubbornly refuses to make
any statement. The railway and express
companies have employed Todd & Hudg-
ings, of this city, to assist in the prosecu-
tion
