SUES MEXICO FOR s1,ooo, 900.
Suit of John c. Hazard Argued Before
 New York Court of Appeals.

Albany. N. T., February 9.-The suit of John G. Hazzard of Brooklyn to recover from the United States of Mexico about $lO00,000 of the defaulted bond issue of 1885 was argued before the New York Court of Appeals today. Hazard secured an attachment.
 This was served upon J. P. Morgan & Co.,, who were presumed to hold securi- ties of the Mexican government The ap- pelate division vacated the attachment, and from that decision Hazzard appealed.
 The proceeding is opposed by the United States government on the ground that Mexico Is a foreign sovereign state, and therefore the courts of New York state have no juri. diction to attach any of its property. The case will probably be carried to the United States Supreme court

This is an outcome of the pub lished reports that the ministry was in possession of new evidence with the ef- feet of clearing Dreyfus. The order is not considered to show that it is for the purpose of the government to suppress the facts in the case, but that it wishes to prevent officers and others from talk ing part in a political agitation.

 Philippine Policy STATEHOOD BILL TAKEN UP
Senator Clay Says People of Arizona and New Mexico Are Being Done an Injustice By Charges
 of PoIygamy.

Washington, February 9-In the senate today MT. Carmack spoke on the Raw lins' resolution. calling on the secretary of war for certain courtmartials. He charged that murders in the Philippines by soldiers had become so common that they would not bear investigation, and that answer was entirely satisfactory to our noble, generous and humane secre- tary of war" He also criticized the Pres ilent for never having heard of the Captain Brownell case after having an- nounced his intention of probing certain crimts in the Philippines"
 MT. Keen spoke on the statehood bill for d short time when he yielded to va rious senators who indulged in debate over the question O. the influence of the Mormon church in politics. MT. Elkins spoke at length in defense of the claims of New Mexico to statehood. He read the republican and democratic platforms, praised the democrats for trying to keep their pledges, while the republicans, he said, had not been able to keep faith nor discharge their obligations with re- spect to statehood.
 MT. Elkins declared the national con- ventions interpret the wishes of political parties and not those of individual sen- ators. Thirty-three democrats and seven- teen or eighteen republicans, he said, fa- vored the omnibus bill, while thirty-eight republicans opposed it, and he wanted to show that the minority was obstructing the passage of the bill.
 Injustice Being Done.
 MT. Clay of Georgia, likewise declared an injustice was being done the people of Arizona and New Mexico on account of the statements made regarding their Mormon population. At the present time. he said, there were about 1900 Mormons in New Mexico and $500 in Arizona, while according to the census of 1890 Idaho had 14,972 and Utah 11S201. He believed 1t was wrong to charge the people of New Mexico with being repudatonists, poly gamists and ignorant. If given the op- portunty, he said, they would present the identical constitution prepared by them in 1889 declaring against bigamy and polygamy.
 The conference report on the act fixing the salaries of certain judges of the United States courts, which was presented by Senator Hoar, was agreed on, and at 4:55 D. m. the senate went into executive session, adjournng b minutes later, until tomorrow.

stockweIPs 1emedy for the Famine in
Country School Teachers.
"The country school teacher Is being
paid less than the average farm hand"
declared State Supt. Stockwell at the
meetin gof the Stutsman county school
directors.
ain Stutsman county the average
school term is seven months and the
average wage is about $40 per month.
This would mean. $3.50 a year for the
young man or m employed in
teaching. The teacher will have to
! exist for twelve months on a salary Of
about $24 a month. Out of this sum
he will have to pay his board, clothe
himself, buy books and defray other
expenses The difficulty In securing
teachers in North Dakota at this time
is due to the low wages paid. Young
men and women can get better wages
in other lines of employment.
"The scarcity can be remedied in
two ways. One is to raise the wages.
Another and better plan would be to
consolidate the rural schools. This
would do away with the necessity OF
so many teachers, and by paying q
slight increase better instructors could
be secured"
Mr.. stockwell outlined the plan OF
consolidating the schools Of q town.
ship and stated that wherever tried In
North Dakota it had been a great suc-
cess. He declared himself as hopeful
that North Dakota would soon have q
law requiring all teachers to have nor.
mal training.
