1904. The average loss per FIRE was
S6s0,s5 an increase of $90.o5. OF the
total number of fires there were 1887
in which the losses were $40 or less. In
regard to the causes of the fires the
report makes the following interesting
statement; The principal causes were,
carelessness with matches, 75l; child
rem playing with matches. 244; care
lessness in the use Of lighted cigars,
404; overheated stoves and stove pipes,
444; chimney fires ami defective dues.
400; bon fires and brush fres, 476;
carelessness in use of candles. 256; gas
lights in contact with curtains, 1Tf
kerosene lamps exploding, l65,
The report says that not a few dres
are caused through apparent careless
ness in the use of candles in religious
services in homes, .draughts from open
windows blowing curtains against tho
lighted candles. Marshal Seery also
says. al was also surprised to find
many cases among the poorer classes
where three or moro persons in the
same suite of rooms had each fire iu-
surancc policy. 1t appears that If in
surance companies were not so lax In
! respect to risks issued there would be
a material decrease in the number OF
fires

TWICE CALLED ACROSS OCEAN
 OCEAN.

An unusual extremity, even for a re- porter was thus surmounted by one of the resourceful newspaper heroes that Hartley Davis describes in his Reporters of Today" in the Febru- ary EverybOdy's
 This problem of getting the news back to the office worries the reporter more than anything else when he is sent out of town. The ingenuity dis played is sometimes marvellous and frequently is expensive. Still it is not unusual for a reporter to send a mes sage twice across the Atlantic in or der to establish communication with d place eighty miles away. CaTberry did this when he covered the wreck of the Portland off Cape Cod in December 1898. It was bitter work travelling up and down the coast in that zero wealth CT, seeking to identify the bodies of those washed ashore, collecting facts about the last terrible hours; but the knowledge that one train left for Bos- ton at three o'clock in the afternoon and that all the wires were down gave Carberry and his associates their keen est anguish, for the important news had developed after that hour If there was no direct wire to Boston. there was a cable from Orleans on the Cape Cod coast to Havre. France. Car berry sent a dispatch to Boston by way of France and New York. a dis tance of six thousand miles Orleans is eighty miles from Boston by rail- road and much more than half that distance as the crow les."

The Week of the Battle.

The dispatches of the morning pre- dict the opening of the statehood bat tie next Thursday. though they do not go to the extent of setting the date for the end of it. Though these Monday morning forecasts have not always been accurate it is evident that the statehood bill is about to fall into the place in the senate business. which had been designed for it by those who are opposing it so that there is reason to believe that the debate on t will begin on Thursday if the shipping bill should be disposed of by that time.
 Senator Beveridge continues to as sert his confidence in the Passage of the bill in the administration form, though other supporters of the meas ure admit doubt, while still others con cede the strong probability of the adoption of the Foraker amendment MT. Beveridge's predictions from the beginning, of the various phases of statehood legislation have not been borne out by the later developments. It is as nearly certain as anything yet to happen can be. that the senator is now in error regarding the appearance of the bill when the senate shall have finally disposed of it.
 The leaders of the opposition have all along guardedly expressed for pub lication, theIr confidence of success but members of the Arizona delegation who have returned from Washington, have said that they were privately in formed by friendly senators tnat there was not the slightest doubt that Ar1- zona would be saved from the opera ton of any statehood legislation, eitn- CT by the elimination of the western territories or by the FOraker provision.

A New Mexican Statehood Election

It is by no means certain that New Mexico would not reject joint state hood whether the question were sub mitted separately or jointly A contrib utor to the Los Vegas Optic has been resurrecting ancient election figures, among them those in the vote on q state constitution in 1890 when it was believed that the territory was about to be offered single statehood. At the election 28,673 votes were cast. 7.493 for statehood and 16,1SO against The Optic says further of this election
 'The vote called out is also quite in- teresting in view of the possibility of such an election being held in the near future for, while this election only called out 2S,OOO votes. the general election held just exactly a month later brought out 32,OOO votes which in way proves the oft asserted belief that on a question of statehood the full vote of the territory will not be brought out unless held at a regular general election.
 "It is interesting to note that at this open election, what are called the Mexican counties, San Miguel, Bern-- lilo, Mora, Santa Fe and Taos, gave heavy majorities. more than three fourths against the constitution. while but two counties in the entire terri tory gave a majority in favor of the constitution-Grant and Valencia"
 It is true that sixteen years have elapsed since this overwhelming dereat of a statehood proposition. In some communities a great change of senti- ment might be wrought within such a period, but there is reason to believe that in those so-called Mexican coun- ties there has been little change on the statehood question.
 We have observed that while there has been a great deal of joint-state- hood noise in New Mexico it has been found to proceed almost entirely from within the corporate limits of Albu- querque.
