Bro.. JED, New Mexico Statehood. Washington Dec. 20, 18!M! EuiTOit CiiiEfc'TAi.v: A few days since I saw in the Associated Press, dis patches the following: THE NEW MEXICO liir.L,. Washington, Dec. 10. That favor able action is not e::pecttd very soon on the bill to admit Now Mexico into statehood was made evident today. Delegate Catron of that-territory, at the meeting of the bouse committee on territories, gave notice tnat at a future meeting he would move that the consideration of the bill providiug for the admission of New Mexico be postponed two years. Also there were in the western papers unfavorable comments in refer ence to me about the same The report is not true. The reporter told me he got it from Mr. Scranton, chairman of the committee. Mr. Scranton says he gave no such infor mation. The facts are: Oa the meeting of the committee I gave notice that I would call up the statehood bill for action in the house; they all said tliet e was no hopes of its success for two years at least: that it would be useless to call it up as they would not take the chances of admitting a state which, according to the last election, would send populistic or democratic senators and thus unsettle the prospects of get ting tariff legislation for tbe people. I then said, that in view of the obvious sentiment on that subj-'ct, I gave notice tbatat the next rueeting of the committee I would move an amend ment of the bill so as to meet that idea. and make the election for delegates to the convention come off in February, A. D., IS'.)'., so that when the two years were up we would have the state with out furtiier delay, but stated I should ask consideration this session, or iui mediately after the holidays. I have never proposed to postpone the statehood bill. On the contrary 1 have prepared to push it as rapidly as possible during the present session. The reporter made a correction of this dispatch, but I have not seen it and dont know if it is correct, so re quest you to publish this as the fact of the matter. T. B. Catron. Delegate to Cougress. Comstoi'k Train Robbers The ells-Fargo Express company peoole announce that nothing has been heard from the state rangers who went in pursuit of the Comstock train rob bers last Wednesday. When thev loft the station thev iutended to return in three hours if a trail was not found and nothing has been Heard Ircm them since. The eountrv lving in the direc tion the robbers went is all prairie, with nothiuer to be seen except an occasional ranch house. The robbers will have to stop for food or water, and it is thought the rangers have found their trail and are follow ing it. In this connection an official of the express company remarked to a P reporter vtsteruay: ''We have the utmost confidence in our through stfes, and their abilitv to withstand dyna mite. When the robbers at Comstock entered the car they threatened to blow open the safe unless the messenger opened it for them, whicn was evident ly a bluff', us no attempt of that kind was made. When robbers blow open a safe they always place the explosive on top of the chest. They kr.ow ns well us other people that-the force of a dyna mite explosion is dowp, and even then they could r.ot get into the steel chest where the money is k' pt. The chest is so constructed that it would stand to be blown through th bottom of the safe and onto the track, and then be in as good a condition as before, so far as the money is concerned. The next question is, could thev not carry it away with them? They could do that no easier than they could tbe safe itself, as they are nearly the same size. We have the greatest confidence in our through safes." Will be Court Martialcd. Lieut. Col. H. C. isoyes, of the Sec ond cavalry, is to be court martialed for non payment of judgment entered in a civil court twelve years ago. JNoyes has the reputation or ticing a regular old bear. When in command at Fort Logan not long ago during th temporary absence of Coionel Merriam of the Seventh infantrv, he made things so interesting both for otlicers and men that the return of the regular commanding ollicer was nailed as a delivery from the reign of a despot When Noyes was promoted from major. he was slated for another regiment than the Second: but the colonel wouldn't have him in his command, and Noyes was finally saddled into the Second cavalry, aud stationed at Foi t Logan with two troops of his regiment where he has succeeded lti making things hot for every one with whom he came in contact. Noyes retirement from the service will be welcomed as a boon by all who have had anything to do with him. Just tin Thing. Brooklyn has nearly solved the wo man hat in th3 theater business. The Woman's Health Protective associa tion of that city has taken the matter in hand, and in the leading theaters the managers print on their programs a request that large hut? be removed during the performances, aud the response is so generous that only two or three large hats can be seen iu the audience after the curtain goes up. And now the Protective association proposes to carry the war against high hats into the churches, where if. is daimed the minister is often complete ly ob-cured by the intervention of large hats worn by women Judge Goodwin. of the Salt Lake Tr ibune sas: However, we still clingtothe belief that our sign would be. the. right one: "AH la lies whoare t o b ild-he:tdi d will confer a favor by removing their hats during the performance." ).
