POOR WAY TO HELP HIMSELF
Governor of New aiextco Tells Why he
Can't stop the Fight.

St Louis, No, Feb. A special to
the Republic from Ell PasO, Tex, says:
The ministers union of this city wrote
to the governor Of New Mexico request
ing him to prevent the fights from oc-
curing on New Mexico soil. The gov
ernOr answered as follows:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your favor of the 2lst in ref
erence to the report that Dan Stuart
was arranging TO bring off the prize
fights in New Mexico. / have looked
into this matter very carefully, and
while l have some fears Of the truth Of
what you say and suggest, l think the
intention is 10 come to New Mexico,
only in the event that they fail 10 make
arrangements in Jurarez. l have al
ready written the legal authorities in
DOna Aana county and requested them
to see that the law is fully enforced.
and TO prevent any violation of it.
must be candid, however, and say that
the powers of the legal authorities are
very limited in this territory. There
is absolutely not a word upon our stat
ute books making il a crime to be en-
gagged in prize fighting in this territory,
and We can only depend upon laws with
regard to breaches of the peace. 4 bill
was introduced at our last legislature
to prevent prize fighting, but unfor-
tunately we could not pass it. There
is a direct act of congress preventing
the use Of United States soldiers to aid
the sheriff's officers. There is no money
in the territorial treasury for the en-
plOyment Of the militia. / am candid
with you because know just how you
feel on this subject, and 1 desire you to
know how helpless the territorial offic-
ers are should an attempt he made to
bring off the fight in New Mexico.
will, however, do all l can. you may
rest assured, to prevent this disgrace
being brought upon our territory. Yours
very respectfully,

COLONEL MORRISON DENIES 1T

Washington, Feb. 4.-Colonel w. r.
Morrison said this evening:
Il have read the dispatches from Chi
cago. and viii say in reply that l have
sent no messages to the Democracy Of
Illinois by anyone wnomsOeVer. This
answers all the assertions, and is as
good as a whole column of denial"
The foregoing statement from Colonel
Morrison was brought out by the publ
ration of a story in Chicago to the eff
feet that the plans for the Democratic
party in Illinois had been twisted out Of
shape and beyond recognition by Col
Dnel Morrison, through his lieutenants,
w S. FoTman and William BrintOn,
sending word to the Democratic state
executive committee that the silver idea
must be repudiated before they could
use his name with authority as the
Democratic presidential candidate.
