Bfll for Presentatson.

: The Senate committee on territories today
decided to recommend the admission OF An
zona and New Mexico states and In
-structed the subcommittee whs have the
bills in charge to make favorable reports.
The action Of the committee was some
what indirect and consisted in instructing
the subcommittee having the bills in charge
TO have them prepared for presentation to
the Senate at the next meeting Of the fun
committee. to be held next Wednesday, but
the course pursued is understood by a ma
jorfty Of the committee as a commitment 10
admission IN the case OF both territories
The motion was made by Senator White
Of California and was concurred in by ali
the members present except Messrs. Pla.t
Davis and Call. Senator Platt stated briefly
that he thought one new state was sufficient
for one session OF Congress, and as Utah
already had been admitted he did not con-
slider II good policy to admit the other terri
tories at this time: Me@rs. Davis and Call
contented themselves with recording their
votes against the motion.
After the adjournment Of the full COM
mfttce the subcommittee on New Mexico,
consisting Of Messrs. Blackburn. White and
Shoup. held a meeting I'm accordance with
the instructions of the committee and put
the bill in shape for presentation. The
amendments made b. them provide for a
change OF date for the election and the con-
stitutional convention, which are made to
correspond with the dates in the Utah bill.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS,
A Minority Report Rcing Considered
by Opponents to the Reilly Bill.

The advisability of making a minority re-
port against the bill for adjusting the debts
of the Pacific railroads is being considered
by two or three members Of the committed
who have opposed the Reilly bill. When a
test vote was had Saturday on a resolution
offered by Mr.. Harris of Kansas aeainst
any extension of time to the corporations
nine votes were cast against II and five for
IL. the latter being by Messrs. Harris, Wea-
dock of Michigan, Boatner of louisiana
Cooper of Wisconsin,, and Snodgrass of Ten
nessee. Although the vote has not been
taken upon the Reilly bill, it is understood
that two or three of the five We're satisfied
with the amendments which were offered
to il, and will vote for 1t. so that when the
new draft is submitted TO the committee
Thursday it will be sure of safe majority
Mr.. Harris expressed the fear that in re-
ducing the governments second mortgage
the holders of third and fourth MORTGAGES
on parts of the Pacific systems may inter
fere with the contention that the govern
ment has lost its position in the transac-
ton and become secondary to their claims
upon the property, and may succeed in an
appeal to the courts. Other members do
not consider the objection well taken If it
is decided to make a minority report no
steps will be taken until after the vote on
the bill.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
The Suits to Compel the Road to Conn
ply with the Law.

ply with the Law.
Attorney General Olney expresses his
doubts of the correctness of the published
reports as to the basis and purpose of the
suit brought against the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company at Los Angeles. Late
last week the Attorney General received a
telegram from United States Attorney
Denis stating that he had reasons for be-
lieving that the Southern Pacific Company
was not making proper efforts to run its
trains. and asking for authority to file
against the company bill in equity, under
the antitrust act of July =, 1892 This au-
thority was given, and it's evident intention
was to compel the company at least to try
to fulfill its contracts with the government
for the carrying of the mails, and also to
make an effort toward resuming Interstate
traffic. The conduct of the Southern Pa
cifc Company had been in marked contrast
with that of some of the other comma MES
in these respects, and 1t was the Attorney
Generals understanding that the suit would
be brought to compel the performance of its
duties under the law, and; SO far as he
knew, for no other purpose Mr.. Olney
questions the correctness of II at part of
the report which stated that one purpose of
the suit was to cancel and annul all agree
ments by which the Southern Pacific and
certain other companies were consolidated
1t is the opinion of the officials at the De-
partment of Justice that such consolida-
tons are not only legal, but were conten-
plated by the interstate commerce act

STtaOkelesS Powder Tests.

smokeless powder tests are engaging the
attention of ordnance people at Sandy
Hook. where trial is being conducted
for the briggs Ordnance Company with a
45-caliber Driggs-Schroeder gun. A copy
Of the record shows some remarkable re-
suits with this powder. With a one-pound
charge velocity of 1893 feet per second
was obtained with less than $4,000 pounds
pressure, while with pound and nine
ounces velocity of 1853 feet per second
was obtained with a pressure of 1880
POUNDS, or less than the regular service
pressure allowed for black powder.
These velocities weres all measured at 125
feet from the muzzle-of the gun, so that
the actuai muzzle velocity is over 1900 feet
per second. The. black powder now in use
requires charge of Seounces more to give
a velocity of 1,s10 feet per second, and at
the recent long trial at Sandy Hook where
black-s- powder was used entirely, 80
caliber gun with l pound and Is ounces of
powder gave velocity of only 1880 feet.

good deal of unexpected trouble Is con
fronting the maEaGers Of. the sundry civil
and general deficiency appropriation bills
In the Senate. 1t was calculated that both
Of those bills would be disposed Of in COM
mittee in time for them to be taken up In
the Senate this week. but 1t may be that
one Of these measures may hate to go over
into Iext week: The H ain difficulty is that
by r, sling the bills throush in such short
space Of time there Is little or no opportun-
ity for the holding of committee meetings
owing to the need Of bringing the con.
ferees together on the various bills that
have passed beth houses. There are now
seven bills in conference. and one, the agri-
cultural. will undoubtedly be In the same
condition by tomorrow. The presence OF
Mr.. Allison on the tariff conference also
taxes him away from the appropriation
work to some extent. The subcommittee on
the sundry civil Dill Ii sttll at work, and Il
IL by no means certain that the bin will
get to the Senate today, as II must first be
presented to and discussed by the fun ap-
preparations committee.

cupied the position for many years. and is
perfectly familiar with every detail Of the

subcommittees. as we'll as by the various
conferences, SO that his illness at this time
which is largely the result Of the enormous
amount, of work that has been done during
the past three weeks, is q serious handicap
to the committee.
Nevertheless, II is the confident expecra-
tion OF Chairman Cockrell that he will he

present prospects of an early agreement In

even be that the Senate viii be able to de-
vote two or three days to- its calendar be-

work and the coming of the tariff. In that
event the District will probably come In for
Its share Of the business. There are now
twenty strictly local bills on the calendar
