bill. One of the parts quoted is that
referring to the statement made by a
witness that some Of the white people
in the territories are like the riff-raff
who follow construction of railroads" !"
Commenting on this statement the mi
nority report says:
"The riff-raff who follow railroads
have been sturdy Irishmen, whose
picks and shovel and spade and labor
have built the hundred thousand miles
of the American railroads. Why that
riff.raff should not be good citizens In
New Mexico as they are in every other
state and territory, the report does not
advise the senate. Presuming that the
witnesses upon whose testimony this
reference to riff-raff has been made
was greatly misinformed. we are
forced to conclude that there has beer
mistake made somewhere between
the witnesses and the committee since
the testimony has all the marks of q
purpose to convict Of unpreparedness
on the part of Arizona and New Mex
leo, rather than to enlightsn the senate
as to their republican form Of govern
ment."
The report is, signed by Senators
Bate. Heitfeld,. Baily and Patterson
constituting the democratic member
ship of the committee on territories.

MONROE DOCTRINE.
Causing Great Britain and Germany to
Be Cautious in Venezuela.


Berlin, Dec. 16.-The German gov
ernment has not yet replied to Presi.
dent Castro's offer of arbitration, being
still - correspondence with the Brit.
ish government on the subject. 1t is
intimated that Germany's reply is not
likely to be ready for some days. The
opinion in the cabinet appears to be
that President Castro's propositions
are merely move in a game designed
to see what Germany and Great Britain
are now willing to do and as a test also
of American public feeling. The pre-
vailing idea here at present is that it
is too late to arbitrate. The conduct of
the United States is regarded in diplo-
matte opinion here as being strong and
dignified and the state departments
handling Of the affair is looked upon
as establishing Europe's recognition of
the Monroe doctrine because every
step of Germany and Great Britain was
made after taking into account what
the United States thought of it. At
the same time it is claimed that events
in Venezuela are saving the United
States many future complications by
letting the Latin republics understand
the United States will not protect them
from the effects of financial delinquen-
cy and internal disorder.

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 16.--When the
coal strike commission met today
Chairman Gray opened the proceed
ings by saying that the commissioners
were impressed with the spectacle OF
the little girls who were before the
commission yesterday and testified
that they worked all night. He said
the people of the community and citi-

Payment of children at night. At the
suggestion Of the commission the
statement of the wages OF the fathers
OF two of the girls were presented.
One earned more than II 900 last year

The miners sprung another surpriss
by presenting an Individual operator

orators. He was John Chadduck. Of
Iwilkesbarre, president Of the Ply
mouth Coal company. Haddock In an
swer to questions put to him by c. g.
Darrow, for the miners, said he had
been in the coal business thirty-five
years. His company operates the
Black Diamond and, Dodson mines
near wilkesbarre. Haddock explained
that the miners ton, which runs from
:, 700 to 5000 pounds, was hxed years
, ago so that the employer could get out
of a ton 2,4OO pounds Of pure coal
above the size of pea. Pea coal an

London, Dec. 16.-Replying to a
question in the house of commons to-
day, Under Foreign Secretary Gran
borne said no attempt had been made
by Great Britain to refer the dispute
with Venezuela to arbitration.
Premier Balfour presided at a cab
met meeting held at the foreign office
at noon today. The Venezuelan crisis
and the kings speech at the prorogu-

matters considered.
Replying to question in the house
of lords today, Lord Lansdowne, the
foreign secretary, said that If the seiz.
ure of Venezuelan gunboats did not
produce the desired effect further co
ercive measures would be employed.
The matter had been considered n

been decided to resort to blockade oi
the ports. 1t was not intended to land
a British force and still less to occupy
Venezuelan territory.

THE MINORITY REPORT.
The Democratic Members OF Com
mlttss on Territories Favor 0mnl-
bus Statehood Bill,
SNEeRS THE hlff.RAFF WITNESS.

Yesterday, at Washington, Senatai
Bates, of Tennessee, presented in the
senate the minority report of the com.
mittee on territories favoring the i'm.
mediate passage of the house omnibus
statehood bill without amendment
The report opposed the uniting of Ok.
lahoma and Indian Territory into one
state. 1t shows minutely the condition
OF each of the three territories and says
these are such as to call for immediate
statehood. 1t shows that both the re-
publican and democratic parties al
their last conventions adopted with
perfect unanimity platform planks rec.
ommending each of the three terri
tories by name, for statehood, and as
such expression, the report continues,
should be respected by both parties. II
says among otner things:
1T was never intended that congress
should bar by party objection, admis-
sion when population, wealth and in
stitutions were the same as in the case
OF other states"
With reference to the qualifications
in the population of the territories, the
report contends that 1T ought to
suffice that 95 per cent of the popuia-
ton are white in Oklahoma, and the
$4,000 white population in Arizona,
and the $4,000 white population in
New Mexico are quite sufficient to
even all the foreign born in each of
these territories"
Summing up the minority report
says: Each of these territories has
complied with every requirement here
tofore made by congress for the admis-
sion into the union. Each has popula-
tion sufficient for representation in
congress. Each has wealth abundant
to support all expenses of statehood.
Each has institutions in harmony with
republican government as understood
in the union"

report of the majority on the statehood
