And it further appearing that
there is doubt as TO the validity of

ing 10 provide for two terms IA

Their because Il Is also claimed
that the fixing of the said annual

lature and not by the said justices,

STATEHOOD BILLS ARE DEAD.

Washington, April 2.-Today's
meeting of the house committee
on territories was devoted to the
discussion Of the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood bills, but
the committee failed TO arrive at a
voting stage.
Delegates Murphy and Catron
asserted that the opponents of
statehood in the committee were
doing the talking merely as a fill
clustering move. Consequently
the meeting was rather a warm
one.
The delegates exerted their en-
deavors to induce the committee
to vote, and refused to be drawn
into a debate, although the oppo-
nents of statehood asked them
many questions.
To prevent the consumption of
time the delegates declined to an
swer most of the questions, tax
ing the ground that the matter
had been thoroughly discussed al
ready.
The only test vote was upon the
consideration of the bill, was
carried by a vote of 6 to 5.
Those voting for consideration
were: Messrs. Perkins, republican,
of Iowa; Lefevre, republican, Of
New York; Avery, republican, Of
Michigan; Harris, republican, Of
Ohio; Turner, democrat of Vir-
ginis; Cooper, democrat, of Texas
Against consideration: Messrs
Knox, republican, of Massacbu-
sets; Taft, republican, of Ohio.
Love, republican of New York.
Harrison, democrat, Of Louisiana.
Owens, democrat Of Kentucky.
Mr.. Taft, during the discussion
declared that congress could moi
blind its eyes TO the fact that the
admission of the two territories
would add four moro votes for free
silver to the senate.
He argued that It was not fair
that the existing status Of the
function should be changed in the
midst Of a great controversy like
the financial question; that the
question should DO settled by the
Union as Il now stands; and thai
the sound money men should no.
be handicapped by the new silveI
states.
He also charged that twenty
Eve per cent Of the inhabitants o
Arizona and thirty-threo per cen
Of those in New Mexico were illit
crate.
Mr.. Owens, Of Kentucky, sail
that the two territories, who's
area was greater than that Of Ne'
England and with . population
less than that required for q con
gressionAl district were unfit 70
statehood
He also attacked the system 0
representation proposed for th
constitutional convention IN Ar
IONA a. q partisan one, devised 3
further republican interests.
Mr.. Avery held that the onl.
Questions 10 be considered wer
The qualifications Of the terrific
rios for statehood.
Mr.. Harms argued that the oil
liver question should uo3bo brough
into the controversy.
