NEW MEXICO OPPOSED.

Washington, Jan. 4.-In his annual report to the secretary of the interior Gov. Otero of the territory of Now Mexico takes a decided position against the uniting of that territory with Arizona as one state.
 He says: There is no doubt that a great majority of the people of New Mexico are opposed to joining New Mexico and Arizona into one common wealth. Even the small percentage who would acquiesce in such a consolida- ton prefer single and separate state hood for eacl territory. This is not due to any innate animOsity between the two territories, but to inherent diff fereuces in population, in Legislation, in industries, in contour, in ideals and from historic and ethnologic stand point, not to mention that consolida- tion of two commonweaIths like New Mexico and Arizona into one is unpre- cedented in American history"

but with this exception the republicans voted solidly to proceed to the con sideratiOn of the statehood bill and the democrats soiidlv against that course. A motion by AIr. Bate to recommit was voted down. Nr. Nelson spoke at length in advocacy of the bill. There WGs an exceptionally large attendance of senators when senate was called to order. President Fro tenn Frye being absent Senator Perkins presided.
 MT. Platt of New York reported a resolution for the printing of 10, ,O00 copies Of the report Of the commis- sioper of corporations and accepted an amendment suggested by MT. Bailey providing for printing with the report of the decision of the supreme court of the United States, which he said. the report criticized. On objection to immediate consideration the resolution went over.
 Mir Warren reported the omnibus claims bill and gave notice that he would ask an early consideration of the bill which represents 16OO claimants. MT. Hepburn introduced a bill for the regulation of corporations which was referred to the committee on judiciary.
Arizona republican., 1905-01-05

When the morning session closed MT. Reveridge moved that the senate pro ceed with the consideration of the joint statehood bill. The motion creat- ed a brief stir and several senators addressed the chair MT. Hepburn asked whether the motion made by him to take up the pure food bill, which was pending when the senate adjourned for the holidays, was not pending. The chair decided that the motion died with that days session of the senate.
 On the motion to proceed to con sideration the vote was 31 ayes to IT nays. The reading of the statehood bill being concluded, MT. Bate moved to recommit the measure because the testimony taken before the committee on territories had not been reported rendering it difficult to make a min ority report. Many of the sittings of the committee, MT. Bate said, had been held when the senate was in ses- sion and this with other circumstances had prevented the attendance of the democratic senators. He pleaded against undue haste in the matter and entered upon an argument against the consolidation of the four territories in to two states.
 Referring to the proposed union of Arizona and New Mexico he said they would make a greater area than is comprised in all the New England states, with New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania added, the only req son for consolidation was found he said, in a desire to prevent an in crease of United States senators.
 h considering the provisions of the bill relative to New Mexico and Ari zona, NTr. Nelson quoted statistics to show that the growth of both terri tories had been slow and that the population was still meagre. The pres ent population of the two territories was 400, ,000 or less. He admitted that large percentage of the people of Arizona were Americans while many of those in New Mexico were Mexicans- He did not admit however, that a ma jOrity of the New Mexico people were Mexicans, and he also contended that there was no real enmity between two nationalities. Mir. Nelson had not con- cluded when the senate adjourned.

THE BALTIC SQUADRON
Will Probably Remain Where It Is Until Reinforced by a Third Fleet. Later Details Regarding the Japan ese Occupation of Port Artheur.

St. Petersburg, Jan. At seems now to be definite that Vice Admiral Ro- jestvensky's squadron will not attempt at present to reach Vladfvostok A decision has been reached that he will await a third Pacific squadron, on which work is proceeding night and day and several ships of which are expected to be ready for service by the end Of January. It is by no means certain that ROjestvensky will return with his ships to European waters; he may await the third squadron off the coast of Madagascar and seize and make his base one of the uninhabited coral islands of Polynesia.
 In view of the report that the Jap General Batiavoff who has been inter viewed. has expressed an opinion that if Vladivostok should be blockaded Ro- jestVensky would be compelled to re- turn.
 Many interesting incidents in con- nection with Port Arthur heretofore carefully concealed are now comment ed upon. When the protected cruiser Boyarin was lost by going on the rocks her captain, Sarytchoff, was sub jected to considerable criticism. He appealed personally to Emperor Mich olas for mercy saying that if forgiven he would sacrifice his life for his country. Thereafter Sarytchoff volun- teered on every occasion for dangerous duty. He commanded the gunboat Gilisk at Kinchou and latter the shore battery at Tigers Tail. Afterward the captain engaged in frequent sorties from Qualifications but seemed to bear charmed life and received not as much as scratch.
 Emperor Nicholas is expected to re- turn tomorrow to St. Petersburg when a council of war will be held.
