THE COMMODORE CLEARS.
Great Interest In Her Movements,
Which SAVIOR of Mystery.

CHARLESTON. S. c., March lO.-The
alleged flibuster Commodore took out
clearance papers for Tampa. Fla, at the
custom-house to-day, and having gotten
up steam. she moved into the stream. A
large crowd of people, among whom were
two Pinkerton detectives, watched her.
AS she dropped down the harbor she
was cheered by the people on the docks.
Her commander had stated that she was
going 70 sea at once. but she did not do
so. She steamed down the Cooper river
until off the Battery, where she dropped
anchor and remained for several hours.
Her officers said that she would go out
about o'clock. but at the present time
q T.. Nd she has not moved again. Her
people say that she will not go out until
tomorrow, but many people expect her
TO slip out of the harbor during the night.
There seems to be no reason for her
doing so, however. for with her papers
she cannot be molested.

STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.
Favorable Committee Report-What
VIII Congress Dot

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March 10.-The
subcommittee Of the Senate Committee
on Territories this morning. by the unani-
nous vote OF Senators Davis. White. and
shoup, ordered favorable report on the
bill to admit New Mexico to statehood.
A number OF minor amendments were
made to the pending measure. among
others one to make the census OF 1890
the basis OF representation in the consti-
tutional convention. IL is believed that
the full committee will order a favorable
report on the bill. There will, undoubt-
edly. be a fight against the admission OF
this Territory when the bill comes into
the Senate-first, because the Territory
is not. as some senators claim, sufficiently
settled TO Justify its people In assuming
statehood. and for the further reason that
the Spanish language Is the tongue COM
monty spoken within its borders: and
second. because by the admission Of this
Territory the strength of the free-silver
men In the Senate would be increased two
votes by the admission OF the senators
from that Territory when II becomes a
State. The bill may, perhaps, pass the
Senate. but the indications are that 1t
cannot pass the House of Representa-
lives

BOWLER TURNED DOWN AGAIN.
The Matter Of the Allotment of Pay
In the Navy.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 1o.-Some
weeks ago Comptroller Bowler made a
ruling that prohibited officers Of the navy
from making all allotments Of their pay.
thus setting aside a custom of the navy
co-existent with the navy itself. the
legality OF which was never questioned
by any official of the government. 1t
was through such allotment that naval
officers provided for the retention Of such
portion of their pay as was necessary
for the support of their families while on
cruises. The ruling threatened TO work
serious inconvenience in innumerable
cases and the naval committees OF the
two houses at once took the question
under consideration. This morning the
Senate committee authorized Mr.. Tillman
to report a bill that will authorize the
allotment OF pay in accordance with the
long established custom of the navy.
