 Prescott, Ariz., Oct. 1.-The congressional party, headed by Hon. J. A. Tawney, arrived here this afternoon and will remain over Sunday. The congressman passed through rich valleys and a wealthy gold region this morning, including visit to the Congress mine, in the Wickenburg district, and the noted Vulture mine, one of the oldest in the territory. At Wickenburg Con- gressman Tawney asked for vote of the people at the platform rela tive to jointure with New Mexico, and every person voted against it. Tawney said this was more con- vincing than anything he had seen against jointure, these people beir g out in the mountains away from the politicians and their sentiments certainly came from the heart.
 Congressman Adams, Marshall and Tawney delivered addresses. Every member of the party has now expressed himself opposed to iointure except Tawney. Some of them favor statehood at once, but Steenerson and Adams suggest wait ing a few years for increased popu lation.
 "We are satisfied that no state in the union has more intelligence or patriotism than Arizona," said Stee nerson. "But we do not believe you have population enough yet"
 Adams said: "I do not blame Arizonans for wanting separate statehood, and for every member of the party I can say we will fight for your rights. You are an em- pire in yourself and entitled to statehood alone"
