Yesterday was fee cutting day in the
Office OF county commissioners.
Rev. Harmon. Mr.. Webb and Mr..
Bush glued their eyes TO every bill and
few Were those that escaped a cut
The ha-pOOn was thrown into Sheriff
Royse harder than into anybody else
One of his bills was cut from 81, 200 down
TO less than $500 and two more Of his
bills are yet p be considered. one OF

Mr.. ROySe was not the only victim OF
the watchfulness and economy OF the
commissioners. They drew a blue PEN

1t was also a poor day for the people
who wanted charity. Major Burr was
pleading in their behalf but the commits

4 Washington dispatch says: Ths herse committee on territories voted today to favorsbly report the New Mexico statehood bill to the house and also decided ts defer action on the Arizona bill. So evenly divided was the committee that the fate of the bill rested upon one vote. Tnis vote de- cidsd te place the question of New AexicO's admission before the house for settlement and side-tracked for . tune the decision of Arizons's fate.
 There were six votes to report the new bill and four sgainst . fsvorahl. report, while vote on ihs question o' tsblIpg the Arizona bill was q t,e with i've members on each side. Thos. who voted to report the New Me1ic, bill were: Republicans-SerAuton ton ol Pennsylvanis. Perkins of Isws, Lefevr. of New York. Avery Of Michigan. Had. ley of Illinois. Demoerats-Cooper Of Tsxss. Opposed-Rspublican, Kno. of MsssAchusetts. Ta.t ot Ohio, Low. of New York. Democrat Owens sI Kentucky.
 Three members who voted for ths bill reserved the right to vote against it in the house. They do not fsvo' the admission Of New Mexico at thi. this time but believe that the hous- should be given an opportunity on the qrsstion. The Arizona bill was fire, brought up and it soon became ap. parent that the members of esmmitte then present did not support it. Sev. srsl amendments to the New Mexico bill wsre proposed but all failed by . vote of 4to6. Ono offered by Ar. Tat, was to report the bill te tht houss without recommendation and one by MT.

Registered Mail RauSackcI.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.--The Union Pacific
fast mail train held up at Uintah, Utah,
this morning was carrying the Chicago
and other Eastern mail from the coast
due here tomorrow. superintendent
Troy of the railway mail service re-
ce1ved this morning from the postal
messengers on the train a message that
the postal ears entered by the
bandit and all the registered mail
thoroughly ritled. AS a great propor-
ton Of such mail is a corresponden.e
between banks. inclosing exchanges
and remittances, and always a good
proportion OF cash, the loss is supposed
to be of consequence.
This is the first time in MANY wears
that the mail cars have been held M"
said Troy. The bandits in the past
have contented themselves with rifinc
express boxes and have left the mail
cars alone, fearing the "reminiscences
with which the governments secret
agents pursue mail robbers. It wa
an exceptionally bold attack to attack
the fast mail of the Union Pacific rail-
road, n .of the largest carriers of
mail in the country. The government
cannot afford to leave unbound the
men who did the act.'
