Anent the statehood ProposltIon.

Washington, D. O., Dec. 10.-The senate committee on territories held a meeting today to consider the joint statehood bill passed by the house at the last session. All the members of the committee were present.
 It was demonstrated that all the re- publican members of the committee are in favor of the bill just as it passed the house, and Chairman Beveridge intimated that he desired early action so that the senate could take up the bill as a special order immediately after the holidays.
 The democrats of the committee were unanimous in antagonizing the bill in it's present form. Bailey of Texas said at the proper time he would offer substitute for the pending bill providing for separate statehood for New Mexico and Arizona. He said the people of Arizona were almost unanimously opposed to being joined with New Mexico in statehood and that congress should not force them to accept such a relation against their will
 Patterson of Colorado said he would support the substitute of Bailey, but pending the preparation of that in the adoption of the state constitution, the people of Arizona and New Mexico should be allowed to vote separately and that the constitution could not be ratified until majority of the people of both territories approved it.
 The republicans antagonized this proposal and pending discussion the committee adjourned until next Tues day.
 The republican steering committee of the senate has endorsed the joint statehood scheme and instructed hair man Beveridge, chairman Of the com. mittee on territories, to push the bill for passage in the senate.
