1t Is reported that Asquith's de-

the event the lords continue to op-

 In the meantime the entire West Coast region is perfectly tranquil, All lurid tales wired by irrespon- sible press correspondents at Doug las, Tombstone, and El Paso about smuggling arms, arming the Yaquis for another uprising, capture of Hermosillo by insurrectos, etc., are positively false.
 That the West Coast has been hurt by the silly falsehoods ema- mating from Douglas is true, for they have checked the tide of travel and investment that rises strong always in the winter months. But in little while that i'll effect will disappear, and mat ters will resume their normal con- dition.

ADJOURNED.

Yesterday the Arizona conStitu- tional convention adjourned sine die, on the sixty-frst day since it's meeting, and among it's last acts was adoption of an ordinance set ting the election for ratification on the ninth day of February. And now the campaign for ratification is on. The predominating inhu- ences that forced into the instru- ment it's most radical provisions will make an organized, concerted movement for it's adoption, and it is said that their effort will be financed by the Western Fedora. ton of Miners. Against adoption of the constitution there will be arrayed strong and powerful inhu- ences and many conservative citi- sens, and the battle will be royal one. And then, if the people rati- fy the constitution there is a doubt that it will meet approval at Wash ingtOn.
 In any event the instrument cannot be certified to the President in time to be given consideration before the present Congress ad- iourns. Under the enabling act the election returns on ratification are Canvassed and certified to the President on the third Monday after the election. That Monday is February 27th, with just four days intervening before adjournment of Congress. If the constitution is adopted the certified copy and return of the election from the canvassing board (the chief justice, governor and secre- tary of the territory) cannot reach the President before Congress ad. journs. Then if it is approved by the President he transmits it to the next Congress which convenes in December, 1911. Should that Congress adjourn the regular ses- sion without rejecting the consti- tuition, the instrument will be pro- mulgated, and Arizona will become

a state. That adjournment is not due until March 4th, 1913. So it is possible that statehood will not be accomplished until that year, if at all.

THE SITUATION IN MEXICO.

THa OASIS has presented little or nothing about the disturbances in Mexico for the reason that the stories flashed over the wires were so manifestly absurd and untrue that it was impossible to arrive at the truth, and during seventeen years the policy of this newspaper has been to present nothing with regard to Mexico of which it was not quite positive. Representing American interests in Mexico it is criminal for border newspaper to magnify such matters in the repub- lie, for such distortion ofevents has an immediate and malign influence upon all Americans in Mexico; and the irresponsible border corres- pondents who wire broadcast throughout the United States all sorts of vaporings and imaginings should be suppressed.
 Now, then, from reliable sources of information and from a study of the reports received THE OASIS, familiar with the ground, presents the real situation about as follows: There has been no movement in Mexico worthy of dignifying with the name of revolt, let alone call ing it "revolution." In some of the cities, viz: :Puebla, Guadalajara, Gomez Palacio and Torreon, there was rioting melted by hair brained reformers, who were put down quickly. In western Chihuahua there has been an uprising of ban ditti, long repressed, who have taken advantage of the situation to resort to their old time terror ism. But they are very careful how they treat Americans. They have wholesome dread of your "Tio Samuel" and they will do nothing to cause him to take a hand in the fracas.
 It should not be forgotten that in former years that region was the hot bed of banditism. A large part of the population were bandits by profession. The doing of devil ment for the love of it is yet in the blood of their descendants. Long have they been repressed, but at this time the disease has broken out afresh. They have captured fifteen towns" and control the region surrounding. But no one ever stops to consider how insigni- fcant are those towns" Many ol them are merely isolated hamlets, scattered through almost inacces- sible mountain regions. The ban dits have possession of the stations along the line of the Mexican
