 DENVER, May PA Washington special says; Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico, is becoming weary in being obliged to await the will of the Rules Committee in the House in order to get his pet measure up in that branch for consideration at this session. The measure referred to is the bill admit ting the Territory that Joseph repre- sents in the sisterhood of States. It will be remembered that the House Committee on Territories reported thIs bill favorably nearly eight weeks ago. Mir. Joseph then began to work on the Rules Committee so as to get his bill up for consideration immediately. The best promise that he could get from Speaker Crisp was that some day would be given the committee on Ter ritories in April. Week after weeK Mir. Joseph waited on the anxious seat ard still the Rules Committee did nothing in his case. He stili has hope, how ever, that the Democratic House, now that it has an opportunity, will not take a recess before the members of that body are given a chance to vote as to whether they will admit this great Ter ritory into the union or not. MT. Joseph will not be out of the woods if the House passes bis bill. He will meet another stumbling block in the Senate.
 Delegate Smith, of Arizona, is in just as much of tangle as is Delegate Jos eph. It nay be said, in fact, that his opportunity for securing the admission of Arizona is not as bright as that of De- legate Joseph in the New Mexico case. MT. Smith, however, is hustler and has been doing some excellent work in behalf of his Territory.

Owners say the calf crop will scarcely be worth branding. A county officer made trip into the country last week and on the favorite winter grazing ground counted fifty carcasses in one afternoon. There de OE lo Ill large pastures and llfeless frames gre al- | most Tn piles in the open prairie and among the foothills, On the other hand sheep having received personal care have thriven. The loss is less than per cent. and feeces will be heavier than ever, with good lamb crops. About 50000O sheep will be sheared in the State. |
 WAsHINGToN, May 12.- Reid of Maine, today presented the minority of the ways and means committee oppos- ing the passage of bill to admit silver | and lead ore on free duty. The minor | ity say the majority advice the aboli- | tion of duties, first because the Amer- ican miner needs ore to smelt his own | with; second because it would be so grateful to Mexico. The first reason | IS business, the second is philanthropic, | and both, the minority say, happen to | be false. The American miner does not | need ore for fiux, and if te does why 1 not get it under the present system or | under the free raw material system | which prevailed before the last tariff | act The American miner, 1t is assert | ed, IS not back of the bill, but the | American free trade is yearning, not for | free raw material, but for the rawest | kind of Mexican fifty cents-a day labor. |
