A Washington dispatch says.
Advocates of the omnibus statehood

show a more aggressive front in the

getting his bill before the senate, sub.

committee in attaching the omnibus
bill to the postoffice appropriation bill

Senator Quay says he has sufficient
votes to overrule the point of order and
will accept the issue thus presented.
Several senators, who at the outset Of
the statehood debate We're opposed to
the bill, are now said to favor it. The
change has been brought about mainly
by the rather annoying methods pur-
sued by Senator Beveridge, who has

'The attachment of the omnibus
statehood bill to the postoffice appro-

is the latest triumph for the manage
ment of Senator Quay, who has shown
himself an adept in the higher form of
practical politics as we'll as those which
relate to the composition and manage

of the senate committee on post routes
means one of three things.
First The passage through the

Washington, Feb 1G.-Soon after the

vote upon the statehood bill A resolu-
tion was agreed to calling on the pres

MAKING UP THE DEFICIT.
The Bondsmen OF Ex-Treasurer Abran Abeyta
are Paying His Shortage to SOcorro County.

According to the Socorro Chieftain
part of Abran Abeyta's shortage to So
corro county has been made up. Coun-
ty Treasurer Hermene G. Baca was no.
tilted by the First National Bank OF AL
buquergue that Victor Sais had put up
$4,000 to apply on the delinquency,
that 6,146.7l had been placed to the
credit of Socorro county, and that tho
balance was held to be paid to the coun-
ty or to the territory as the attorneys
representing the various interests in the
case might agree. This leaves Sc, 900 of
the ex-treasurer's delinquency still to be
made good. II. Chambon, who is one of
the bondsmen, agrees to pay this sum
into the county treasury If the county
commissioners will release him from
further obligations on the bond, other
wise he will not do so.

TIE COOLEST
DAY IN YEARS
Zero Weather Prevailed This
Morning in New Mexi-

as mountains.

i s4t sz
The snow storm Of Saturday night
and yesterday was one of the heaviest
and most general that has been exper-
fenced in this section of the country for
many years. The weather has been
stinging cold and the thermometer at
the local weather bureau Office at
O'Clock this morning registered de-
grees below zero. This is unusually
cold for Santa Fe, but is not as cold as
February Is, 1895, when the thermome-
ter here registered II below. That was
the coolest day in the history of the To-
cal weather office.
Today however has broken the rec
ord of this season for several years.
The total snowfall Saturday night
and yesterday was 8 IL inches. The
fall was of wide extent and last
Thursday and Friday it was central to
the west and southwest in Arizona. It's
general direction was eastward and it is
thought the center has passed east
ward, causing the heavy snowfall here
and accompanying cold. The officials
of the local weather office say that to-
morrow morning will probably be near
ly as cold as was this morning and the
day will be cold. The weather will
probably begin to moderate somewhat
on Wednesday, although it is expected
the snow will remain on the ground for
1oo.+ +I,,oo or four do1yc
In the southeastern part of the terri
tory the snowfall was much heavier
than in other sections, so far as ad-
vices are received. No trains were op-
Grated yesterday or today on the Ell
Paso and Rock Island and the Ell Paso
and Northeastern systems. The wires
on the two roads were down all day
yesterday and were out of service to-
day. The storm in that section of the
country seemed to come from the
southeast and was general.
Advices received from other points
today show:
Albuquerque: Four inches of snow
and zero weather.
Tres Piedras: Ten inches of snow and
10 degrees below zero.
Embudo: Four inches of snow and
temperature at zero.
Espanola: Four inches of snow and
temperature 10 below zero.
Alamosa: Just enough snow to cover
the ground.
Torrance: Eighteen inches of snow
on the level.
Santa Fe Central Camp In Gallinas
Mountains Two and one-half feet of
snow.
Estancia Two and a half feet of
snow and u below zero.
Moriarty: Twelve inches of snow.
Ration: Three inches of snow and 10
below zero.
East Las Vegas: Six inches of snow,
and below zero.
San Antonio, Socorro Co.: Two inches
of snow.
The snowfall is of vast benefit to the
range and next seasons water supply.

A Lively Lynx.

A wild lynx was brought into Socorro
last week and purchased by George
Kline, One man got too close to it when
the animal sprang on him and clawed
his face badly. Another citizen play

dangerous.

that shontd resolve my doubts. A re- newai of my acquaintance with Miss Laznoine might free me from her spell. It would require some time to find her. for doubted whether Cushing would give me her address if 1T should tele-. graph him for 1t, and ! had no other clew. By the time had found her she might be engaged to mua1irnin nionaire with two steam yachts, and I could re turn to Sibyi with that ease of mind whach the wise preserve Tn the midst of their desire for the unattainable.
 I rode upon a slow train, due at 6 o'clock in the morning. My father met me with carriage. He was in a cheerful mood, such as [ rarely attain at that hour in the day, and cheer fitness is great advantage. More over, nay courage is always weakest before breakfast. I dreaded our inter view.
 We shook hands, and inquired re- garding his health, which knew to be perfect by the look of him. Then said, ''How is Sibyl2'' because. the ques- tion would please him. He replied that she was-very. well at the last re- port. s,-,.
 Last reportr' echoed, pausing, with one foot on the step of the carriage. 'sDo you mean that she hasn't come home yet?"
 "Sibyl is out of town," said he, ex- tending hand as if to help me up.
 Here was n chance for procrastina- tion. which Is my favorite amusement. With feeling of relief I sank into the seat beside him, and we conversed up- on unimportant topics until we reached the house.
 The old home looked much the same from the street, but I found consider able changes within. The furnishings were more luxurious, the arrangement of the rooms upon the ground floor was different, and at the rear very ele- gant library with domed roof had been added.
 The stairs sweep round and bring one toward the front of the house. At the head of them my father opened door.
 .Sibyl's sitting room, said he.
 It was a well lighted apartment, but had a severe look. The walls seemed bare, and noted good many heavy books on the tables. The place gave me chill. would have wished to see lot of photographs all about. with pretty knickknacks and souvenirs. An easel stood in a corner stripped and desoIate as trellis in'winter, and there was not a sign of the artists work.
 passed on somewhat hastily to my own quarters at the rear of the house. They had been ref1tted. enlarged and greatly beautiied; yet all the old famil- far things were there, and the place
