Manila, P l., Mar. 9.-An import
ant action between the American
forces and hostile Moros has taken
place near Jolo. Fifteen enlisted men
were killed, one commissioned Off
Ger wounded and four enlisted men
wounded. The naval contingent oper-
ating with the military sustained
thirty-two casualties. The Moros lost
six hundred killed.
Major General Leonard Wood, COM
mander of the division of the Philip
pines, reports as follows from Jolo:
"A severe action between troops, a
naval detachment and the constabu-
, larry and hostile Moros has taken
place at Mount Dajo. near Jolo. The
engagement opened during the after
noon of March 9th. and ended on the
morning of March 8. The action in
Volved the capture of Mount DaJo, a
lava cone 2.100 feet high with a era
ter at the summit and exceedingly
steep. The last 400 feet were at an
angle of go degrees. and there were
fifty perpendicular ridges covered
with a growth of timber and strongly
fortified and defended by an invisible
force of Moros. All the defenders OF
the Moro stronghold were killed. Six
hundred bodies were found on the
field. The action resulted in the ex-
tinction of a band of outlaws, who
recognizing no chief had raided the
friendly Moros, and owing to defiance
of the American authorities had stir
red up a dangerous condition of af-
fairs.
"Ali our wounded are doing well.
They include Ensign H. ID. Cooke, Jr.
of the u. S. Steamer Pampanga and
Coxswain Gilmore of the naval con-
tingent. OF the constabulary the fol-
lowing officers were wounded: Capt.

new MEXICO AND
ARIZONA CUT OUT OF BILL

| former representations of the Com
mittee on Territories; Nelson advo-
eating the union of Arizona and New
Mexico as the best plan for Ameri-
canization of New Mexico; Teller,
Hopkins, Hansbrough, Gallinger, Hep
burn, Clark of Wyoming, Dillingham;
and Carter, the latter saying that he
was unalterably opposed to the coer-
cion of any body of American citizens
much as he would like to vote for
the bill supported by the President
and Republican members of the
House of Representatives
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
tions, opposed the admission of Ar
iZona and New Mexico either jointly
or singly, ON account of polygamy in
those territories. He read from testi
mony in the Smoot case to show that
polygamy existed in the territories
promptly at four o'clock, and the Com
mittee amendments were first consid-
cred.
Other speakers were Newlands
McCumber, Fulton and Smoot.
The proposed increase of appropria
tion for elections for the proposed
state of Arizona was defeated. This
action was taken so as to not burden
the bill and endanger its defeat in
the house when referred back to that
bOdy for anDrOyal of the senate
amendments.

Beveridge Closed Debate.

Special to the Record.
Washington, D. c., Mar. 9.-Sena
tor Beveridge closed the debate on
the statehood bill yesterday, following
Senator Patterson. He said Joint
statehood is not a matter upon which
the people of the Territories are to
be consulted. The people of the en-
tire country are concerned in the
creation of new states, and congress
proceeded on this theory" He opposed
the Foraker amendment, arguing that
if it were adopted it would give fifty
thousand people in Arizona power to
thwart the will of 25O,OOO in the two
territories combined. He declared
that the Copper Queen Mining Com
pany alone employed 10000 men. Pat
terson of Colorado, and Clark, of
Montana, united in the declaration
that the number did not exceed
$500, but Mr. Beveridge justified his
statement by quoting the testimony
taken by the Committee on Terrific
ries. He dwelt upon the liberal pro-
visions made for educational pur-
poses in Arizona and New Mexico.
He closed by urging that while New
Mexico and Arizona are not prepared
for separate statehood, it was un-
just to keep the two out of the Union
as one state.

grossly exaggerated, and the condi-
tions are not nearly SO alarming as
one would be led to suppose from the
reports published throughout the wes-
tern world. There have been disturb
ances, but I do not think they men
ace the peace between China and the
United States or any other nation.
The feeling against Americans does
not exceed that entertained towards
all other foreigners, and as l under
stand the situation, the entire anti
foreign feeling is due in large meas
are to the exploitation of business
enterprises which the Chinese feel
should be controlled by their own
people,"

The Cost of SPRAYING.

The Record is informed that there
seems to be some hesitancy in sign
ing the contracts to have fruit trees
within the city limits of Roswell
sprayed according to law The cost
is estimated to be not to exceed ten
cents per tree, so that but a trif1ing
sum is involved. If you have not
made arrangements to have your tree
sprayed attend to it at once, and avoid
having the penalty provided by law
attached to the costs.

that which met today IN the state cap

Iatiye investigating committee, which
has drawn upon itself universal at

state. Many radical changes in the
state insurance law and kindred stat
utes are proposed in the ten bills un-

To the lover of the best class OF
music, the concert at the Presbyte.
rian church Tuesday night was one
of the most delightful musical events
of the season The chorus was splen-
vocal and instrumental, acquitted
themselves to the entire satisfaction
of the large audience present.
The piano duet by Mrs. Oberne and
number, as was also the violin work
by Mr.. Axelson, whose playing is al
ways received with great favor
Miss Nelson sang ave Maria" in
Selden delighted the audience with
two splendid solos for basso.
The work of the chorus trained by
Miss Rodkey is also worthy of very
special mention. The oratorio num-
bers were massive and impressive
and rendered with a precision, style
and feeling very unusual except in
the oratorio societies of our largest
cities.
All of the choruses were excellent,
but perhaps the most pleasing num-
ber on the entire program was the
vocal solo Seek Ye, the Lord by
Miss Rodkey, accompanied by the
chorus.
Miss Rodkey is not only a we'll
trained and skilled conductor but is
also the possessor of beautiful voice
of great range and briI1iancy.
The program certainly left nothing
to be desired,-and it is hoped the
public may have another opportunity
to hear this same chorus again in
classic recital.

Washington, d. c., Mar. 9.-Owing
to the fact that the senate took a re-
cess. instead of adjournment, last
night, Senator Beveridge was ena-
bled to proceed with his speech in sup
port of the joint statehood bill when
today's session began at eleven
| O'Clock. There was much better at
tendance than at yesterdays open
ing. Mr.. Beveridge took up his argu-
ment contending that the necessity
for interpreters for the benefit of the
ing, and arguing that very little at
tention should be given to the
pledge for single statehood given at
the time the Territory of Arizona
was created, because it was given as
result of fraudulent representations.
Mr. Beveridge was literally ap-
plauded by the galleries when he con-
cluded. The legislative session of
Thursday came to an end at noon and
the session of today was commenced
at once. Under the head of morning
business, Senator Beveridge under
took to read a number of kilograms in
support of the joint statehood bill
but Teller of Colorado objected on
the grounds that they could not come
in properly as a part of the discus
sion of the statehood bill. Mr.. Bev-
eridge then stated that he had re-
ooiuad bnudrpdS Of mostly
from Arizona, urging joint admission.
q, too have received hundreds of
messages on the subject of statehood
responded Senator Foraker, one of
them from a gentleman who gives his
name and who says that telegram
signed by the Senator from Indiana
is being circulated in Arizona urging
that five hundred kilograms be sent
the senate from Arizona in favor of
statehood" This announcement crea-
ted a laugh at Beveridge's expense.
in which he joined. He said that he
knew nothing of such telegram. The
kilograms were not read.
A communication from Secretary
Hitchcock recommending the exten-
sion of the time of opening the Sho-
shone Indian reservation in Wyom-
ing from June Is to August Is, was
read.
Consideration of the statehood bill
was then resumed, and Senator For
aker made the first speech under the
ten minute limit. He pointed out that
Arizona is not asking admission, and
said there never had been an effort
before teS force statehood on an unwil-
ling territorial constituency.
Senator Dubois followed in support
of an amendment offered by him pro-
hibiting Mormons~ and polygamists
from voting in the proposed state of
Arizona, as was originally provided
in the Idaho state test. He said he
had seen a list of some so to 100 po-s
lygamists living in Arizona, and that
there were also many in New Mexico.
There was, he said, no power in Utah
to punish polygamy. and Mormonism
was SO strong in his own state ida
hoD that Notwithstanding the fact
that the leader of the sect in that
state had testified that he was the
husband of three wives, there was
no possibility of bringing him to ac-
count for it, because of the power
of his church. wherever there is
Mormonism, there is polygamy." he
said. and added that the only way to
prevent polygamy was to strike at the
organization that encouraged it.
Speeches were made by others as

PAY IN THE POSTOFFICE.
Mr. Hitchcock Suggests Ne7C and
Higher Scale of Salaries.

Washington Dec. 30.-Failure at this time TO
increase materially the compensation Of post
office employees will seriously jeopardize the ef-
fciency Of the service. according TO the annual
report of Mr.. H,tchccck.. the First Assistant
Postmaster General. ryhich was made public to-
day. The need OF legislation to make the postal
service attractive IN order TO retain present
employees and * an tuducement for good men
to enter the service is treated extensively by
Mr.. Hitchcock who presents a plan for the
consideration OF Congress.
Higher wages in other classes of employment
taken with the increased cost Of living, have
rendered pronounced the nadequacy of post
office salaries. he says AS a result. the resigna-
tions from the service have increased at
alarming rate, and the standard of going
into the service has greatly deteriorated in the
last fiscal year. The report shows that in first
and second class offices there were approXi-
mately 1000 clerks in the grades ranging from
$500 TO $1,000. and OF these clerks 234O or
about I23 per cent, resigned during the year.

The figures for October last show that clerks
were leaving the service at an annual rate OF
one in every five

to clerks and carriers alike. this plan has been
suggested by Mr.. Hitchcock Esta blishng for
both Of these classes of employees six grades Of
compensation. the annual salary TO be 5000 for
the first grade, $500 for the second grade. and
for the four succeeding grades 5000. $1,000

for the advancement of clerks and carriers in
first class offices from the 5000 grade the

years service and 81 600 after three
years service. and for the advancement of
clerks and carriers in second class offfces TO
$500 after one years service and to $500 after
two yea.s service.
The proposed plan leaves to the department
the distribution of promotions based effi-
cheney ebove the 81 900 grade in first class
and above the $500 grade in second class Offices
the extent OF n promotions being limited of
course by the appropriations provided. The
