WANT TO BE STATES.
ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO AND UTAH
-. KNOCKING.

Congress VIII BE Urged to Take Action at
Once Comforting Statehood Upon Them.
At Least One Section of the Democratic
Party joyful Over the Result Of the Re-
cent Elections.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The result of
the recent elections has been to bring
Joy to at least one section of the Demo
cratic party. The territories which
have been knocking for admission to
the Union for some years past now feel
cheered by the outlook, and Democratic
delegations from Arizona, New Mexico
and Utah are expected to arrive in this
city Immediately after the opening of
the session to urge upon the party in
congress the necessity of prompt action
on the measures comforting statehood
upon the territories.
1t seems to be an inexorable law that
political events must move in cyclones.
and the decentralization Of the party in
the recent elections has warned the
older leaders that general defeat next
year and the turning over of the house
of representatives to a Republican ma
jority are among the possibilities.
Then, too, power in the house of repre-
sentatives, ever since the reconstruc-
ton days, has alternated with mechan-
ical regularity, and if the rule of the
post is to be q criterion to the future
the Republicans hope of supremacy in
the lower house of the next congress
may fairly be realized.
This possibility, added to the other
fear which has become general in Dem
ocratic ranks, that the United States
senators to be chosen to enter upon
their term of Office March, 1895, may
make that body Republican, makes the
leaders anxious to gain at once what
ever political advantage is possible to
derive from the new territories that
are knocking for admission to state
hood
Measures for the admission of New
Mexico, Arizona and Utah are now
pending in congress and all are to be
pressed to vote without any needless
delay. The delegates from all these
territories are now Democrats, and it is
confidently asserted by the Demo
Gratis of these prospective states
that there is no doubt that
the United States senators and
congressman to be elected in the
new states will be of the same political
faith, and thus materially assist to
maintain the supremacy of the Democ-
racy in the two houses Of congress. as
well as to furnish a significant quota of
Democratic electoral votes to the cleo
torial college in the next presidential
contest
The house committee on territories
has shown unprecedented punctuslity
in disposing of these measures. The
various bills for the admission Of New
Mexico, Arizona and Utah have all been
reported favorably, and will come up
early for consideration in the house
calendar at the opening of she regular
session.

uniting the party if there had been any
differences of opinion of any remarkable
degree. What is most often heard in
connection with the tariff bill from the
Democratic members is the statement
that the members of the ways and

the work of preparing bill and that
they made study Of it,

given the matter any consideration.

THE REAL SENTIMENT


OF Democratic Members of Congress on
the New Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The gathering
of the members of congress offered an
opportunity to get at the real senti-
ment of the Democratic members on
the new tariff bill which has been pre-
sented by the minority of the commit
tee on ways and means. There are, of
course. members of the house who are
no doubt vote for some changes, yet it
is apparent from the way they talk if
the bill should come to vote in its
present form it would pass with few
dissenting members among the Demo
Gratis.
If the Republicans have any hope
that there is sufficient dissatisfaction in
the house to defeat the bill they have
made mistake, for the Democrats
seem only anxious to have the bill
through as soon as it can be possibly
passed.
1t seems to be not so much the ques-
tion of the rates as the settlement of
the whole question that the majority of
the Democratic members are most in.
terested in.
A member of the Democratic major
ity of the committee voiced this sentl-
ment of number of Democrats when
he said the bill
Would Not Need Much Discussion
in the house; what was wanted was to
get the bill over to the senate at an
early a day as possible. He indicated that
even if it should be necessary to apply
cloture rule that it was very likely that
the Democrats would put the bill
through without very much debate. It
would, of course, be necessary for the
Democrats to have behind them a good
working majority, or at least quorum
of the house in favor of the bill.
1t now looks as if there would not be
much difficulty in securing such q
| quorum if the talk indulged in by the
Democrats that have thus far arrived
is any indication Of the sentiment OF
those who have said nothing. In all
the number whom may be heard talk
ing on the subject. none 60 80 far ever
in private conversation as to say

PITlFuL TALE OF SUFFERING.

Experience of Sailors Caught in y Storm
on Lake Michigan
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 5.-Four days and
nights without food or sleep, clinging
to a wreck, exposed to seas and snow
storms until almost frozen to death,
such was the experience of the crew of
the little schooner Dreadnaught, who
are at the Emergency hospital in this
city bound up in cotton atting.
The Dreadnaught's crew, which con-
sisted of Captain Andrew Olsen of
Washington island, and one sailor,
Harry Peterson, whose home is in Chi
cago, were rescued Monday by the
steamer Syracuse, which left Chicago
Monday morning for Buffalo.
When 80 miles southeast of Racine
the lookout on the Syracuse discovered
the little vessel drifting about in its
helpless condition. 1t was mass of
ice from bow to stern.
The crew of the Syracuse found two
men on deck covered with ice. Ropes
were thrown them as the Syracuse
came alongside and they were hauled
aboard. They were nearly dead, and
the ice had to be chopped with axes
from their clothing before it could be
removed.
They were frostbitten in many
places, their hands being the worst;
but the doctors think they will be all
right within few days.

Such Is the Cut to Be Made in Appropria-
tions This Year.
WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm meeting
the deficiency in revenues Democrats
do not intend to confine themselves to
the matter of raising revenue, but pro-
pose to split the difference and with
one hand reduce expenditures, while
with the other they gather in the
shekels.
The appropriations committee is now
working preparing bills for the coming
session. 1t is understood bills to be re-
ported will make cuts all along the
line, and that the aggregate in reduc-
tion of expenditures, regardless of what
apparent necessities may be. will
amount to many millions. The pur-
pose is to make slaughter of appro-
priations so as to bring expenditures as
nearly as possible down to the revenue
which can be raised under the Demo
cratic policy of low tariff and no tariff.
1t is believsd that the cuts will amount
to at least $20,000,000, and may be
greatly more.
