Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 25.-The demo-
cratic state committee met here today and
decided to hold the state convention, to
choose delegates to the Kansas City con-
vention, on Tuesday, June 8, in Baltimore.
Ex-senator German and many other prom
inent democrats from all sections of the
state were on hand, and the situation was
carefully discussed.
The sentiment of those present was to a
great extent opposed to any Instructions to
the delegates, and while many favor Mr..
Bryan as the nominee, there was very little
said IN regard to his candidacy, as the lead
ers are still hoping that something may turn
up to prevent the denomination OF the free
silver champion.

WORK OF THE BUREAU OF IMMI-
GRAFTON.
Mr.. j. p. Spanier, general agent of
the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way, at Rome, Italy. has addressed
Governor Otero requesting that copies
of the governors report and such print
ed matter as is furnished by the Bu-
reau of immigration be sent to him for
use in his Office He says that he re-
ceives many inquiries concerning New
Mexico, and he finds that the best way
to answer them is to supply the appli-
cants with this printed matter. The
governor referred this letter promptly
to the secretary of the Bureau of I'm
migration, who has today forwarded
copies-of the Governors Report for
1899 and pamphlets published by the
Bureau of immigration on the climate
of New Mexico, its natural resources,
horticulture, agriculture, the different
counties of the territory, stock raising,
ETC., to Mr.. Spanier in Rome. 1t is be-
coming daily more and more apparent
that New Mexico is attracting a great
deal of attention as health resort and
as mining territory. Inquiries are re-
ceived by Governor Otero and by the
Bureau of immigration not only from
all parts of the United States, but also
from countries in Europe, asking. for
information. All inquiries addressed to
the governor are referred to the secre-
tary Of the Bureau and by him litera-
ture is sent ouu to those desiring In
formation. This will certainly do the
territory some good.
