patton of BIuefieds. The letter from

WASHINGTON, March u. - Delegate
Joseph OF New Mexico will make q
move as soon as the appropriation bill:
are out of ths way TO secure a specia
rule by which the New Mexico state
hood bill VIII be givln the right OF
Noy oHN OlSOA oii OLHrI DuSlEcSo IL
the house until a quorum makes its
appearance and passes the bill. Mr.
Joseph had arranged to take up the
bill recently, but when the time
came he recognized the futility Of the
course, as there was far short of @
democratic quorum present. AS q
party line is drawn on the bill he could
hope for no help from the republican
side and was obliged to postpone the
action.
1T appears to be useless" said he,
"to try to pass the bill unless it is
made a special order and held before
the house, blocking all other business
until a democratic quorum comes here
and passes the measure. 1t will be
remarkable if the house, with a large
democratic majority, cannot pass this
bill. All | want is quorum and for
that reason | will move to get it before
the house and keep it there until a
majority comes back and passes it, as
soon as the appropriation bills are
considered. The party issue on the
New Mexico bill is due to the fact that
the minority of the house want Okla
bona admitted at the same time.
Representative Thomas, a republi-
can member of the committee on terri
tories, says as the admission of New
Mexico is likely to add two new demo,
cratic United States senator's to the
present majority of the senate, while
the admission OF Oklahoma is likely 10
add two republican senators to TIE
minority, it is proper TO even up the
political advantages by admitting both
territories at the same time. II is
urged also that the Utah and Arizona
bills, already passed by the house, give
prospect OF four democratic sec a.
tors, so that fairness urges the admis-
sion of Oklahoma as we'll as the other
three territories. The purpose of the
minority in the house to raise a
point of no quorum is due 10 the fail
ure to secure an agreement t. pass the
Oklahoma with the New Mexico bill.
Delegate Joseph is confident that the
special rule he is after will pass the
New Mexico bill without complication
with Oklahoma"
WASHINGTON, March 22.-There is good
authority for the statement that the

He is said to incline toward a veto

purposes of the act are now covered Oy
provisions Of the existing law, known
as the Sherman act" authorizing the
coming o! bullion, the secretary of the
treasury being empowered to coin the
seIgnOrage when earned.
