How it All Happened.
Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Feb. 8.-During the
consideration by the U. S. Senate yes
terday of the statehood bill, the first
surprise came when the committee of
the whole accepted Senator Foraker's
amendment providing for separate
vote by each of the territories of Ari-
zona and New Mexico on a constitution
to be adopted by the proposed state of
Arizona. Then Senator Bard present
ed his amendment which provided for
the admission of New Mexico as a
state without the addition of Arizona.
1t was at first adopted by close vote
of AZ to 40 This vote was taken
while the Senate was sitting in COM
mittee of the whole and was reversed
in the Senate proper by tie vote of
38 to 38. Subsequently the Senate de-
cided by vote of 38 to 36 to entirely
eliminate New Mexico and Arizona
from the bill and this result had hardly
been announced when Senator Bard in
slightly changed form, renewed his
proposition for the admission of New
Mexico as state and this time the
amendment prevailed by vote of 40
to 81. One of the Affirmative votes
was, however, cast by Senator Bever-
idge, for the purpose of moving a re-
consideration. This motion was laid
upon the table by vote of 80 to 30.
The effect was to eliminate Arizona
from the bill and to establish the state
of New Mexico and another of Okla
homa and Indian Territory In this
form the bill was passed.
An Early Echo.
Washington, Feb. S.-Yesterday'
contest found an early echo in the pro-
ceedings of the Senate today in the
shape OF a personal explanation by
Senator Kearns of Utah of his vote on
the admission of New Mexico as a
separate state. Immediately after the
opening prayer, Senator Kearns took
the floor and said: Il rise to a ques-
tion of personal privilege. In the first
vote on the amendment of the Senator
from California, (Bard), last evening l
voted MAY" in distinct manner. 1t
appears that the clerk misunderstood
me and / was numbered among those
favoring the amendment. My colleague
called my attention to the error and
was on the point of correcting it when
it was suggested that could do so
on a vote to concur in the amendment,
before the final passage of the bill, in
case the amendment should be adopt
ed. This course pursued. The SER
iousness of this matter did not impress
itself on me until this morning, when
read in the public press the statement
that had voted for the amendment
in order that might force the mana
gers Of the bill to accept my amend.
ment, ceding a strip Of Arizona to
Utah. This deny in most emphatic
manner. Such a proceeding I would
not countenance and would not be a
party to. My word has been given the
managers Of the bill that l would sup
port their measure and would not
have played them false for the whole
territory Of Arizona. II this be prop
