WANT TO BE STATES.
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma Anxious For
Admission.

Admission.
Three territorial delegates 5. Flynn,
of Oklahoma, Murphy, of Arizona. and Ca
iron, of New Mexico--are waging a very
vigorous campaign in Congress to secure
favorable action upon their bills for the adj
mission of the respective Territories repre-
sented by them to Statehood. They are
anxious to have the bills before the Terri
tories committee reported to the House and
disposed of in some way and having made
canvass Of the committee. believe that more
than two-thir Is OF the committee will vote
Tor favorable reports.
Ex-Governor Murphy, OF Arizona, who l.
now the territorial Delegate, and who has
sounded the views of Congress on the ques'
ton, says that there is much opposition tc
the admission of Arizona, New Mexico or
Oklahoma OIL the part of Eastern members,
who object to increasing the free silver
strength of the Senate.
The people of my Territory are not ex-
tremiss on the financial question" he said.
'The Territory produces more gold and COP
per than silver, and moreover, it is not GER
cain but that the added impetus given to
gold mining has compensated for the de-
creased use Of silver as money"
Mr.. Catron. of New Mexico, lelieves that
the committee will undoubtedly Gake fay-
orable report on the Statehood bills, and
chat the chances for success in the House
arc good.

o'clock, that something had gone
wrong with his breakfast; especially
was this true if he had had restless

with head-workers. "My stomach"
