NOTICE.
NEW MEXICO HAS NO ASSURANCE.

When the death blow was struck to the hopes of New Mexico for admission as state during the pres. ent session of congress, the report was flashed over the wires that Gov. Curry. of that territory had been given the assurance that the New Mexico statehood bill would be taken up and passed at the short session of the Sixtieth congress. But, now comes another report from Washing ton to the effect that no promise was made as to statehood legislation dur ing the short session. The house committee on territories want it dis tipctly understood that Gov. Curry was simply told that there could be no consideration Of the New Mexico statehood measure during the present session and until after the next pres idential election.
 Here is another evidence that Pres ident Roosevelt is not directing leg islation at Washington, for did not the strenuous one promise Gov. Cur " while they were gliding down the Mississippi river in the vicinity of Cairo, Illinois, that the bill for the admission of New Mexico should be passed by the present session of congress? We feel sorry for Gov. Curry and also for the people of New Mexico. who have been again deceiv- ed in the matter of their statehood aspiration.
 After receiving the promise from President Roosevelt Coy. Curry yhur- Tied back to his people full of glad ness and enthusiasm and at once made trip through the territory tell iuS thSH pSOplt DA IuS pAOluLSS "AISl had been made of deliverance from territorial bondage. At every prin- cipal city the governor was met with a band and the best oratorical talent. Red fire was burnt unsparingly and everybody said that Teddy was the real savior of all the people residing between the summit of the White mountains and the Pecos.
 After such demonstrations the dis appointment of being put. off again with an indefinite and undated prom ise is cruel
 Arizona and New Mexico are both qualified for statehood and have been for years, but Arizona has at least escaped more fortunate this year than our sister territory, be cause the people of Arizona have about come to the conclusion to rely no more on republican promises of statehood The republican national convention at Philadelphia eight years ago declared in favor of the EARLY admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma as states. With that ,,-o,,fa< ,rat rInfiIied wa advise our New Mexico friends to put no de pendence in future promises.

 This is true, this is exact, by the card, on Toms own "say-so," on Toms 1 own words. Here is what he says;

Beginning January 1. shall devote my time and icapital exclusively to my own busi ness of stock gambling in Wall and Estate streets-particularly Wall street fer the purpose of recouping the millions I have devoted to my public work.

 Will the spectacular withdrawal of 1 this arch-mountebank, his loud prcc- lamation of himself as the chief sin ner of the gang, and his shameless announcement that he goes back to the gamblers loaded dice and stacked cards awaken us to a realization of the truth that facts are facts, fancies fancies, 'reformers'' too often design ing knaves, and birds who do not re- spect their own nests are not admira- ble.
 And Lawson's admirers, the people who followed in the train of this mod fern Gagliostro. What of them? Let us still take Toms estimate of these as we have his own certificate of his character:
 "The people! The people! Their rights and privileges, Again forgive me while laugh"

Not a month went by but I received mysterious little clockworks, powder and poison packages threats, assaults ard worse.

Dad Wheeler Expresses His Opinion
of imp O'ConnelI Too Vigorously,
and Is Relieved of Further Re-
sponsibilties During Game
Portland 7, ANGELS /

McCredie sent his Beavers onto the
field yesterday afternoon at the Chutes
with instructions to win the game from
the Angels or have a fine excuse after
ward, and Bobby Groom nearly tore
his pitching arm off in his efforts at
cinching the lead taken in the first in
ming. He succeeded beautifully and
did not allow the Angels run until
the ninth inning, when the Champs
made their escape from shutout by
a hairs breath Dad Wheeler started
in to pitch for the Angels. but got into
an argument with Umpire OConnel
and was served with permission to get
out of the game. Koestner succeeded
him but the game had been won before
he went in. Relieved of the strain of
a pennant chase and knowing that
victory or defeat mattered little in the
season finals, the Angels did not play
in their usual snappy manner, making
four misplays behind their twirlers
and hitting weakly throughout.
Following is the official score and

RUGBY CONTEST
RESULTS IN TIE
Charles Watson of Vancouver Team
Rendered Unconscious by Heavy
Fall in Second Half and Is
Retired from Game

BERKELEY, oct. 2s.-With both
teams fighting desperately in the rapid
Nv deepening dusk and the ball near
the middle of the field, the first en-
counter between the Vancouver Rugby
fifteen and the University of California
varsity ended today in tie score OF
to 8.
The battle was a fierce one from
start to finish. the teams appearing 10
be evenly matched, as CALIFORNIA; su-
perior weight and greater ability at
iyiclxinp discounted the northerners
wider knowledge of the game and sure
passing.
California scored in the first half
Barnicott heeling the ball for a free
kick directly in front of the goal. Cert
sent the oval over the bar easily, scor-
ing three points for his team. The
balance of the half was played on yam
couver's ground without further scor-
ing, though both teams seemed DAN
gerous at all times.
A kick by Vancouver, sailing close 10
the ground, was fumbled by three col
legians successfully in the second hair
and the northerners seized their oppor-
tunity of rushing the ball over for
try, but failed to convert. Score, 3
to 3.
largely i'm California's territory, but
the collegians stayed with it to the end,
clever kicking to touch relieving them
whenever the goal was threatened.
Charles Watson of the Vancouver
team was the only man injured, a
heavy fall rendering him unconscious
for several minutes and forcing his re-
tirement from the game.
Three thousand spectators watched
the game among them being the entire
Stanford varsity.
The teams lined up today as follows:

Stanton Is Optimistic

CLAREMONT, Oct. 27.-Coach STAN
ton declared last evening that at the
end of the season Pomona's team could
beat l.. A. high.
Our team played good ball" SAID
the coach, land as far as football was
concerned Saturdays game was to
game Their ends repeatedly held ours
with their hands and prevented the lat
ter from running down field without
interference from the umpire. 1t is
surprising that the regulation four
officials-two umpires, a field judge
and a referee-are not appointed for
such games.
ION one occasion the ball was given
to the high school on the third down
and an incomplete pass, when one or
Z their men was offside. This play should
have been made again, but the umpire
did not see the offside player, even
when he was pointed out"
"A lot of the fellows seemed not TO
like the umpire's work." said Referee
Chisholm today. LAS a matter of fact
it is impossible for an official to see
everything visible from the bleachers.
When | pointed out several times what
appeared to be plain fouls, he said he
had not seen the men,"
The men are in good shape, with the
exception of Birdsall who is suffering
from a sprained shoulder. He Will be

The real gravity OF the situation
lies In tho fact that It is one of the
issues which divides the great powers
OF Europe in the gradual reforming
OF their international aliKnments. In
the present instance, the interest OF
Russia, France and Great Britain are
largely in common. against those OF
Germany and Austria, with italy oc-
cupying a middle ground.
Russia has most vital interest in
bulgaria, owing to racial. conditions
prestige. nut Russia has not been en-
tirely froe to act with Germany, hav-
ing adverse interests on her Baltic
frontier This has left France and
GREAT Britain to play the chief part
in bulgarian reimbursement, with Rus
STA silent but deeply Interested spec
tator and ally.
on the other hand, Germany has
pushed her influence toward Morocco
in the southwest, and then toward
Turkey. Persia, the Balkans and the
near East. In these movements, Aus
Ing with Germany partly through the
bonds Of the triple alliance and partly
because Of personal interests IN thu
contiguous territory of the Balkans.
This in turn has famed into activity
the old animosity between italy md
Austria. threatening to disrupt the
triple alliance and TO group italy with
France and Great Britain.
This gradual reErouping of the pow
crs has been effected by three recent
movcmcnts-Turkey's adoption Of
constitution. the temperance OF the
pcndence OF Rulgaria-in all of which
the now alignment Of the powers IS
becoming manifest, with Great Britain,
France and Russia occupying common
ground. Germany and Austria cooper
atinE and italy In somewhat neutral
attitude. AS In the Moroccan affair
the indications are that mediation or
an international congress will seek
to arrange some working basis as TO
Bulgaria. but meantime the intrigu
Ing among the powers for influence
over Bulgaria and other portions Of
the near East Is likely to go on nm
abated and to be an important factor
in the new grouping OF the powers OF
Europe
Bulgaria has been tributary State
OF Turkey since 1873. The old Bull
garian kingdom was overthrown at
the end Of the fourteenth century by
the Turks. who held the country until
