An Important Meeting Of Republican
Senators.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The majority
of the republican senatorial committee
met yesterday in the rooms of Senator
Hale for the purpose of discussing the
bills for the admission of the various
territories to the union. The discussion
was protracted, and when the meeting
adjourned, the committee, it issaid. had
agreed upon its line of action only so
far as the territory of Utah was con-,
cerned. 1t was decided that no oppo-
sition should be made to the admis--
sion of that territory, although there
was a division of sentiment as to the
wisdom of annexing it to tho state of
Nevada.
1t was agreed that owing to the.
enormous state that would thereby be.
created it would be inadvisable to-.
sanction any proposition looking to the
consolidation of New Mexico and Ari-
iona, but if they were admitted at all it
should be as they arc at present con-
stituted. Action in the case of those
territories will be taken at subse-
quent meeting.
The committee also had up, in an in
formal manner, the bill to repeal the
federal elections law and while no ac-
ton was taken. it was plainly the
sentiment of the members present that
dilatory tactics should not be, pursued,
but as soon as the debate has ended.
the bill should be permitted to come to
vote.
