NEW MEXICO.
THE STRUGGLE NOW ON TO wakE
HER A STATE.
Chairman of the Committee on Ter
ritories Presents Report Set
ting Forth Her Resources, Popu-
latiOn, Etc.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Da-
Wis, chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, today presented report of that
committee on the admission of New
Mexico as a state. The report sets forth
the resources of the territory, gives the
population, the number of schools, post
offices, ETC., and adopts the report made
to the senate on the same subject in the
last congress.
A new paragraph is added, giving the
best estimate possible on the proportion
of the residents of the territory of Next
can birth or derivation.
The committee says that exact inform
alton is understandable, but expresses the
opinion that about onehalf of the popu-
lation fall within the class. They con-
clude, however. that the Mexicans do
not cast one-haf of the votes in the
territory, because a majority of the
Americans are new arrivals, unaccom-
panied by their families, giving them a
larger proportion OF voters than among
the Mex:eans.
The bill is amended so as to fix the
election for the adoption of the pro-
posed constitution not earlier than the
first Tuesday in November.

THE Armenians are hereditary

trouble can only be stopped in two
ways-either by the emigration of the
Armenians to some other part of the

there are many massacres in progress
