THE STATEHOOD BILLS.
Democrats NO Longer Control the
Senate-But Statehood Advocates
Are Active.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The Democratic
steering committee is having difficulty in
| reaching conclusion on the order of
business for the remainder of the session.
The friends of the bankruptcy bill are
making strong effort to prevent it be-
ing displaced by any bther measure than
appropriation bills, while there is also a
sharp conflict between the territorial
bills and the pooling bills for precedence
when the bankruptcy bill shall be dis
posed Of. 1t was believed that the entire
matter had been arranged on Thursday last
80 that program could be presented to
the Republicans, but Senator Harris aud
others objected to the displacement of
the bankruptcy bill, and have so far sue
ceeded in preventing an order for its
summary dismissal. Senator Butler and
others have contended for the allotment
for the first time after the bankruptcy
bill to the pooling instead of the terri
torial bills.
These contentious have caused delay in
reaching conclusion which may not be
announced before the beginning of next
week.
In the meantime the Republican sena-
tors call attention to the fact that, since
Senator Mantell, of Montana, has taken
his seat, the Democrats are no longer IN
the majority in the senate, their strength
only being equal to that of the com bined
Republicans and Populists, and they are
therefore contending that the Democrats
can no longer continue to dictate the
order of procedure in the senate.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.
Masked Men Hold Up Train In Ran
sas-Passengers RObbed-Why Not
Shoot at the KObbersY

Pueblo, Feb. 5.-The western express
on the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe rail-
way, bound for Colorado and California,
was held up one mile west Of Sylvia, Reno
county, Kas., at 1925 o'clock last night
by four masked men, who signaled "dan-
ger" Two robbers covered the engineer
and fireman and two went to the express
car. For some reason they failed to ef-
feet an entrance and then went to the
coaches and made the passengers give
up their valuables. The train was held
an hour and ten minutes by the robbers
who then rode off to the south. Conduc-
tor McGrath ran his train back to Sylvia
and gave the alarm and Sheriff Patton
was on the train with his posse in few
minutes. The men are believed to be tho
Stafford gang. One of the pair who went
through the train is described as in
height feet and 8 inches and wore a
wide, broad-rimmed gray hat. The other
was tall and wore Macintosh.

VICTORIA'S ADDRESS.
Another Session Of Parliament
Opened-Address from the
Throne Good Behavior
Of Ireland.

London, Feb. 5.--The fourth session of
the 18th parliament was opened at 2
O'Clock to-day by Queen Victoria whose
address from the throne was greeted with
applause. She congratulated her sub jects
upon the friendly relations of her domin-
ion with foreign powers and expressed
the hope that such amicable relations
would long continue. She added:
II am happy to observe the striking
fact that in Ireland the offenses of all
kinds against law have sunk during the
past year to the lowest level hitherto
marked in the official records. Proposals
will be submitted to you for remedying
the defects which experience has brought
to light in the working of the law of land
lords and tenants in Ireland and for deal
ing with certain evicted tenants, whose
situation still constitutes peril to the
social order"

A PHlLANTHROPIC PLAN,
Something of Public Interest About
the Fort Union Sanitarium
Project.

Elk Governor 0. A Hadley aud Hon. g.
W. Wildenstein, of Watrous, paid the
New MEXICAN welcome call to-d day.
From what they say the Fort Union sani-
tarium enterprise, now being promoted
by General Ames, of Massachusetts, DR..
Gentry and M. ). Baldwin, of Chicago,
and Colonel French, of Denver, ls going
to prove success. Repairing of the old
post buildings is now in progress. Here
some 1,500 people can be housed. The
valley is to be fenced, some $4,000 acres
being enclosed; lawns and gardens and
trees set out and water piped in from
neighborjng creeks and mountain
springs. DR.. Gentry is quoted as saying
that hundreds of eastern people, health
seekers, are clamoring to como out and
settle there.
The water supply is limited, hence it
will not be possible to establish fruit,
alfalfa and grain farms, but the idea is to
establish some sort of manufacturing en-
terprises, tannery, basket and box man
ufactory, knitting and jeans factory,
etc, wherein healthseekers of the poorer
class can find light work at fair wages
while New Mexico sunshine drives dis
ease out of their systems.

SCENE In The SENATE.
Etiquette Tossed to the Birds-Shades
of Webster, Sumner and
Carpenter.
One Senator Calls Another Fellow
-"Contemptible, Contemprible"-
Senatorial Slang SINGERS.

Washington, Feb. 5.-A sensational
episode occurred in the senate to-day
Senator Mitchell (Rep., of Ore.,) wished
to make report on certain sugar bounty
claims on which he said he desired tc
make brief explanation.
"There will have to be explanation
when the subject comes up" interposed
Senator Harris (Dem., of Tenn.,) $50 il
will be waste of time to have an ex.
planation now. I therefore object"
Senator Mitchell urged that his explain
alton would not take three minutes, but
Senator Harris shook his head.
''Then," said Senator Mitchell, with
growing impatience, will not make the
report. will withdraw it.
1T rs MOST EXTRAORDINARY
that senators can not submit a brief ex
planatien if they so desire. It is remark
able"
ut is needless for the senator to pro
test,' said Senator Harris. "I object
and emphasize it. l object"
"Then I withdraw the report" declared
Senator Mitchell.
"Withdraw it then," exclaimed Senator
Harris, defiantly.
Senator Micthell showed intense irrita-
tion at the defiance, and, raising his
voice, said to Seaator Harris: "The &C.
tion of the senator ia unusual, most un.
usual"
II want this fellow to understand" re.
torted Harris, measuring each word
"That am capable of doing unusual
things and I am responsible for
DOING UNUSUAL TH1Nas.'
"Yes," answered Mitchell, his flushed
face showing intense indignation, II ap
preciate that the senator is capable of
doing unusual things and then Mitchell
added, "And he is capable of doing un-
gentlemanly things"
Harris stepped forward from his desk
and for moment it seemed as If he was
about to resent the statement in An un.
usual and emphatic way. He paused,
however, and then with gesture toward
Mitchell, addressing him directly, said;
'Let me tell you, sir, that your conduct is
coNTE MPTIBLE, CoNTEMPTIRLE.
The presiding officer had been rapping
vigorously as the controversy proceeded.
Senators must proceed in order" he
repeated.
/, The colleagues of the two angry sena-
tors getting about them and their indig-
nant expostulations were continued in
subdued tones.
The presiding officer directed the clerk
to proceed with the business and the in
cident was summarily closed.

it: Mcpherson, Morrill,, Sherman, Allison

SCORED BY PENCE.
Representative Pence, of Colorado, de.
lvered vigorous speech in the house
this afternoon against the pending
Springer financial bill. He was allowed
but fifteen minutes, but in that short
space very severely scored Springer,
Carlisle and others who are attempting
to foist this measure upon the country.
NO HOPE FOR spR1NaER's BILL.
Both Democrats and Republicans of
the banking and currency committee who
have supported the administration bill
express fears today that the bill can not
pass. Their apprehensions are based
somewhat upon the appearance of Mr..
Reeds substitute as disturbing element
but more upon their estimate of the
general temper of the house. The Re-
publican. plan which the ex-speaker is
urging will of necessity interfere with
the administration bill. It will be offered
as substitute and the Republicans will
vote for it as a declaration of their view
of policy dictated by the necessities of
the situation, but they do not expect it
will receive Democratic support and
many say that after voting for it they will
cast their votes for Springer's bill. There
is talk of Republican caucus on the
financial question but it may come to
naught The western free silver con-
tingent is still discussing the proposed
substitute bot has come to no decision.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Deplorable Condition of School Fund
The Schools May Have to BE
Closed-Shamefu MIS-
management.

The board of education met at the
office o. Secretary Hudson last night
Messrs. Muller, president, Conklin, Mar
tinez, Spiess, German, Alarid, and Hud-
son, secretary, we're present.
The following bills were approved and
warrants ordered drawn for the same
Tomas Alarid, wood, $40; Water COM
pany, $14; Perfecto Olivas, taking care
of buildings during vacation, SIS.
The committee appointed to look after
the interests of the city schools before
the legislature reported that the Hinkle
school fund bill had been defeated and
hence there was nothing further for the
committee to do.
Mr.. W. L. Jones, city treasurer and ex-
officio treasurer of the board of educa-
tion, reported the condition of the city
school fund for the month ending Janu-
ary 81, 1895, as follows:
balance on hand ...........$ 81 63
From county treasurer. r................ 400 co
From sheriff ........... ,............... SO SS

DISBURSEMENTS.

Balance on hand Observation-Disclosures. 43 GO
IotaI I...... ................ I,Uio Io
In view of the foregoing deplorable
showing, with the cash balance in the
school fund reduced to $4.68 by bills just
allowed, the question whether it was prac-
ticable longer to keep open the city
schools naturally came up for discussion.
Finally on motion of Mr.. Spiess, a
committee, of four was appointed to act
with Prof. Curran in formulating some
kind of plan of action in the premises
and to report what schools, if any, could
be continued, and what number Of teach
ers employed, with instructions to report
to the board on Saturday evening. The
committee is composed of Messrs.
Spiess, German, Conklin and Alarid.
In the light of the recent action of the
board, only Mr.. Coleman protesting, dis
missing the proceedings against the
bondsmen of the late $4,000 defaulting
city school treasurer, and tho increase Of
jan,tors' wages and other needless ex-
penses, the showing is certainly not very
creditable to the present board of educa-
tion.. If Santa Fe has to suffer the NOR
tifcation and misfortune of having her
schools closed, the people should lay the
blame where it properly belongs.

The pupils are not all in yet. In q
short time no doubt the roll will be

We visited the school on Tuesday
for few minutes and were glad to
note the fact that the whole school,
including teachers and pupils, were
at work. So far as We could see
there were no idlers nor drones in

outside of the district, possibly
about the came number as hereto.
fore. There doubtless would be
many more if we had room to &C.
commodate them.
What, we think, Keytesville needs
is another building for school pur-
poses. A chapel or assembly room
where all the children can be brought
together on stated occasions is in
dispensable. But what we need
most, both for Keytesville and the
surrounding country, is a high
school organized under the new law
authorizing a number OF school dis
tricts to be incorporated into one
school, the grade or curriculum OF
which shall be of such character az
will enable it to articulate with our
colleges and state university. The
amount that would be saved in q
few years by keeping children in a
home school till they are prepared
for college, would in a few years
pay the cost OF the building.
After the close of the exercises at the
white school, we were invited to Wis.,
