 In response to this the city filed condemnation suit against Duke for a certain part of his ground which they have been using for sewer outlet. Both matters have been pending for some years with no possibility of a settlement.
 Duke offered to sell his ranch to the city some time ago, asking s35, 900 for the property. This amount the city refused to pay, and the matter went into the courts, one of the actions be- Ing carried to the supreme court. Ee,.
 1t is expected that the price fixed by the arbitrators will be considerably less than that asked by Duke. He has agreed to abide by whatever deci sion is reached, and DO matter how much less it may be will accept that amount from the city.
 In addition to the value of the ranch as a sewer outlet for the city, members of the council are of the opinion that it can be made to pay an income by leasing it for agricultural purposes.

 Months ago Bowen reported to Se- cretary Hsy that rumors affecting the integrity of his predecessor were in circulation at Caracas and that to his knowledge these rumors have been transmitted to the various European capitals.
 Hay communicated the message 10 the president and then admonished Bowen that it was scarcely becoming to an American minister to allow his predecessor to be traduced when the honor of the mission was involved. In the meanwhile investigation here has satisfied the authorities of the in- nocence of Loomis. It is not doubted that the president will accept Se.ire- tary Taft's suggestion and Minister Bowen will take the next steamer to this country.

 Duke met Mayor Morris Goldwater early yesterday afternoon in the office of the latter and with City Clerk E. Modem they signed an agreement to settle differences between the city and Duke of long standing by leaving the matter to board of arbitration.
 Fredericks represents Prescott and Sullivan will look after the interests of Duke. They have no stated time with in which to reach an understanding. Should they fail in a short time they will select third party to do the de ciding.
 The purpose of this arbitration is to fix price on the Duke ranch of about 1OgO acres, which is located east of the city on Granite creek near Fort Whip pie. They are to fix a price which must be paid by the city and must be accepted by Duke.
 When the city pays the price it will take over the ranch and all its i'm provements, including water righst, buildings and land under cultivation. It will mean the termination, also, of litigation that has been expensive to both Prescott and Duke.

ALGER'S VIEWS
 ON STATEHOOD

The Albuquerque Citizen prints the
 following interview with Senator Rus
 sell A. Alger, of Michigan:
 "I am a firm believer in separate statehood for New Mexico and Arizo
 ns. My interests, as you know, art in Arizona especially, as it is there that have much capital invested ana it is but natural that I should try anG protect my interests in the statehood fight.
 "After having studied the condi- tions of the two commonwealths thor oughly I can see only separate state hood or no statehood at all. It would be far better for Arizona to remain territory for ten years to come than join hands with New Mexico.
 "Now, don't misunderstood me, as l am not against New Mexico secur- ing statehood. Let the territory come in if it wants to, but let it come in as the state of New Mexico and not as the joint state of New Mexico and Arizona.
 ''It is quite probable that the state hood question will be settled at the coming session of congress, but l don't believe that the territories are to have joint statehood and nothing else thrust upon them. It is just as easy, 1 believe for them to get single statehood as any, and it will be far better to the interests of both, ID my opinion. "In the first place, the peo pie and habits of the two territories are not suited for jointure. Arizona, you might say, depends wholly upon mining as its main industry, while in New Mexico agricultural pursuits thrive in different sections, cattle and sheep are raised with profit and there Is some mining carried on. That it would be a great iDjusticeand detri- nent to both is my candid opinion.
