men We're complying with the depart
ment's requirements and removing
fences heretofore erected but felt it was
only just that they should be allowed to
erect fences such as stipulated in Mr..
| Rodey's bill, which would not retard
settlement in any way, especially as
| they would be under control of the sec
| retary of the interior. The committee
referred the bill to Secretary Hitchcock
and if he reports favorably, the meas
ure will be reported to the house. 1t Is
hardly possible, however, that it can re-
ceive final consideration at this session.
ILLEGAL FENCING.
Washington, Jan. 0.-Representative
Bureson of Texas. introduced concur
rent resolution directing the secretary
of the interior to report what steps
have been taken to prevent the illegal
fencing of the public domain in New
Mexico, Wyoming and Nebraska, the
number of applications or filings for
part of the public domain In Nebraska
and Wyoming during the years 1901 and
1902, and other information.
The attorney general is also instruct
ed to institute suits to declare all frau
dulent appropriation of said lands void
and secure judgments restoring said
lands to the public domain.
SMITH MAKES DEFENSE.
Washington, an. 30.-In the house
while the Indian bill was being consid-
cred, Mr.. Smith, delegate from Arizona,
took the floor and replied to some of the
charges made in the senate during the
debate on the statehood bill, to the ef-
feet that Arizona had repudiated her
debts. Mr. Smith explained that he
was compelled to reply to the house
because Arizona had no representative
in the senate. He denied that Arizona
had ever repudiated a single dollar Of
debt or defaulted on a dollar of it, The
charge, he said, was based upon the
fact that a horde of men owning bonds
known to be fraudulent had come to
congress and had those bonds validat-
ed after they had been declared invalid
by the supreme court. He explained
how one of the counties in the territory
had been induced to issue bonds to pro-
mote a railroad enterprise, but, he said,
not an inch of railroad had been built
for the 100000 of bonds which congress
saddled on the people of Arizona.
He thought the act validating the
bonds should be repealed or the United
States should assume their payment.

CONFIRMED BY
MANAGER NUDGE
The Santa Fe Will Build from Dodge
City to Liberal Kansas, at Once
and Connect With the Main
Line of the Rock Island.
NEITHER SYSTEM WILL REBUILD
IN new MEXICO As PROPOSED

Topeka, Kas, Jan. 30.-General Man.
ager Nudge of the Santa Fe, today said
of the Santa Fe-Rock Island alliance:
''The Santa Fe will build from Dodge
City to Liberal, Kas., connecting the
Santa Fe main line with the Rock Is
land at once. From Liberal to some
point in New Mexico where the new
Santa Fe cutoff crosses the Rock Is
land, distance of $50 miles, the Santa
Fe will use the Rock Island tracks.
From this point the Rock Island will
use the Santa Fe tracks to the Pacific
coast. This will probably blot out the
plans of both roads for rebuilding here
tofore proposed in New Mexico as op-
position lines"
