ever been guilty of, or indicted for

Whereas, We are firmly convinced
that the actions of the Senate commit

have been largely, if not altogether,
inspired by two members thereof, the
Honorable Knute Nelson of Minnesota,
and the chairman of said committee
the Honorable A. j. Beveridge of In

statements against the laW-abidlnS

prejudices of the said Beveridge, OF

petty spite and pettifogging methods

our friends in this territory who for.

Refuses to Attach It to
Sympathy Resolution.

Washington, March 4.-Notwith
standing the failure of the Senate
Committee on Territories granting
statehood to Arizona and to New Mex
leo, the supporters of that measure
today forced a vote in the Senate on
the proposition. Opportunity came in
connection with the house resolution
directing the Secretary of State to
renew negotiations with Russia, look.
ing to a treaty which would prohibit
discrimination against merican Jews
in Russia.
Senator Cullum called UP the resG
luton but before 1t could be voted
upon Senator Owen proposed the state
hood bill as an amendment. Without
debate vote was taken on a motion
to lay on the table and it carried Al
to 35.
The resolution regarding the course
of Russia toward the Jews was then

A few evenings ago the following
notice appeared in the New Mexican:
"A meeting of former residents of
the state of Indiana. but now resid-
ing in the city of Santa Fe will be
held in the law offices of Colonel G.
W. Prichard, i'll the Laughlin Block
at 1880 Wednesday evening, March g.
for the purpose of considering what
steps they should take in reference to
the manifest enmity OF Senator Bev'
eridge towards the people of this ter
ritory on the statehood question"
Pursuant to this notice a meeting
of number of Indianians was held
in this city at which the following
resolutions were passed by unani
NOUS vote:
Whereas. the residents of this city
and territory who formerly resided in
the state of Indiana. firmly believe
that the recent actions OF the Senate
committee on territories at Washing
ton. in refusing us patient hearing
and favorable report for statehood
was an unjust discrimination against
the people of this territory as Amerl
can citizens; and.
! Whereas, such action is violative Of
the promises of the two great polit
teal parties definitely and repeatedly
expressed in their national platforms
and,
Whereas, our population Of 100000
American citizens in this territory
nine-tenths Of whom were born under
the American flag, are justly entitled
to the same political and civil rights
and privileges that the people of Other
commonwealths enjoy: and
Whereas, a territorial form of gov
ernment is un-Republican, and un
suited to the wants and requirements
of American citizens, whose devotion
and loyalty to the general government
Is not questioned, ana,
Whereas, while it is known that in
a number of the commemorative OF
the Union, they have had corruption
and rottenness in public affairs; have
had state officials to become default
ers and robbers of the public rev.
enues; have had bank cashiers to be-
come grafters and absconders; have
had strikes and lock-outs paralyzin&
business; have had criminal combin-
ations against lives and property fol
lowed by murder and other crimes re-
quiring military interference to pro
tect the citizen from mob law: have
had whitecap organizations for the
commission of crimes against the
helpless: have had night riders, leav-
ing behind them a trail of rapine and
blood; have had race riots, throwing
whole communities into a state OF
frenzied excitement, we take par
