SCHOOL OF MINES.
Standard OF Admission Has Been
Raised-Student from Abroad.

DR.. Charles r. Keyes, president Of
the New Mexico School OF Mines, was
in the city few hours yesterday. says
the New Mexican. He reports the
School of Mines in very flourishing
condition. The attendance this year
is so per cent above that of any other
year in the history of the institution.
This increase is largely in the tech
nical departments. II has been impos-
sible to care for all the students asking
to be enrolled this year because of the
lack of adequate equipment. The pres
ent outlook for the coming year is for.
more than double the attendance this
year. Every member of the faculty
has had more than he could do. The
standard of admission has been placed
on the same basis sss ether minir.

than any other educational institution
in the southwest. These changes mark
new epoch in the history of New

worthy feature Is that the School of

of the territory and from other states.
For this first time in its history, stud

STATEHOOD QUESTION.
Briefly Discussed in Interviews With
a Few Citizens.
EVERYBODY IN FAVOR,

The reports from Washington re.
garding the stand that Senator QUAY.
leader of the statehood forces in the
senate, has taken. concerning the ON
nlDus bill has opened a field for con-
siderable discussion in this city. Sen.
ator Quay has given up the struggle
for the passage of the omnibus state.
hood bill and is now advocating the
passage OF a compromise measure ad-
mitting New Mexico and Arizona as
one state. This policy is endorsed by
some and condemned by others. Con
sidering the fact that the report would
bring out many and various opinions.
The Citizen representative interview
ed a number of prominent gentlemen
in the city this morning. The answers
to the question, what is your opinion
OF the joint admission of New Mexico
and Arizona?" were various and have
an important bearing upon the new
issue
Il have always favored single state.
hood for New Mexico and Arizona"
said Attorney L. w. Dobson. but if
we are unable to get statehood separ-
ately, | would prefer the joint admis.
sion until such time when the popu-
lation of Arizona will permit her to
become a state. A clause to that eff
feet would necessarily have to be in
serted in the bill. This is, think. the
only solution to the question"
Secretary p. f. McCanna, of the Ter.
ritorial Fair Association: II favor the
omnibus statehood bill, but prefer the
compromise rather than have no form
of statehood"
Il don't believe joint statehood with
Arizona would be the best thing for
the people of New Mexico" said Attor-
ney Frank w CLANCY. IF we cannot
secure the passage Of the omnibus
statehood bill during this session Of
congress, it is my candid opinion that
the contest will put MS in better shape
for a further fight for single statehood
Tor New Mexico. | would rather have
no statehood at all, than be tied up
with Arizona. | don't believe the peo-
pie, with whom the name New Mex
leo has become identified, will consent
to live under the name Arizona"

and cashier Of the Bank of Commerce:

Sultan of Turkey MobiIizis1g
Troops III, Macedonia.
Montreal Street Railway Strikers Refuse to
Ratify Terns--M0nt PeIee Active.

Paris, Feb. 7-Official advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that the sultan of Turkey has or
dered the immediate mobilization of
240 900 troops for a military demon
stration in Macedonia.
The steps taken are regarded with
apprehension by the French officials as
being likely to involve complications
between Turkey and Russia and Aus
tria.
1t is said that Russian and Austrian
governments have agreed on a firm
note to the sultan which will be pre-
sented within the next few days insist
ing on administrative and official re-
forms in Macedonia.
1t is considered that the sultan's
mobilization of such an army is clearly
an effort to forestall the presentation

statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
zona," said ex-Mayor O. n Marion. 81
was in favor of the passage of the ON
nibus statehood bill. but in view of the
fact that those in charge have inform
ed us that it is impossible to gain the
admittance OF New Mexico and Ari-
zona us separate states. | therefore
favor the joint admittance of the two
territories for several reasons. First,
we will have a state with an area and
natural resources second to none in
the union; second, the power would be
so evenly divided between the two
great parties that an honest and con-
soientious government would be the
result"
NJ. w Flournoy, vice president of
the First National bank: 81 am in
favor of the compromise for the Joint
admission of Arizona and New Mex
ico."
81 am of the opinion that joint
statehood would be better than none"
said George p. -Learnard. of the Hall
& Learnard music dealers, but ! be
lieve the omnibus bill would be more
preferable"
Joint statehood would make us a
far more prominent and stronger
state" said G.. L. Brooks. proprietor of
the San Jose Market 1T would be
exceptionally advantageous for the
business interests of the two terrific
res, and would have a greater infu-
euce with the eastern people who wish
to settle in the southwest. After be-
coming one state the resources would
render the state so great. that the peo-
pie would never want to be divided"
Mayor Myers said 81 would prefer
to have two states with four senators,
but # We cannot have this, it is a great
deal better to have two senators than
none at all. Then with the one large
state we would be greater from every
standpoint, both commercially and po-
litically."

VENEZUELAN PROTOCOL.
its Preparation Causing Satisfaction in
London.

London, Feb. THE announcement
from Washington that the Venezuela
protocol, is in the course of prepara-
ton, confirming the hopeful views OF
the situation expressed here, has Gre
ated great satisfaction.
During the latter of the week official
circles here evinced quiet confidence
that in spite of the alarming reports a
settlement was in sight.
The refusal of President Roosevelt to
arbitrate the question as to whether
the powers shall receive preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela is regretted,
but was anticipated here.
Beyond some comparatively slight
deliberations over the wording of the
protocols, no further trouble is expect
ed, where the raising of the blockade
will be regarded with almost as much
relief as it will be in Venezuela.
