New Mexico Must Depend on Future Developments. Washington, Feb. 18. Notwith standing reports sent from Washington, no agreement has been made by leaders in congress to pass a bill at the next session of congress admitting the terri tory of New Mexico into the Union. The facta of the case are briefly as fol lows : A delegation of New Mexicans, head ed by the governor, came to Washing ton several weeks ago to survey the field and determine whether or not there was prospect of statehood legis lation this session. This delegation was to have been backed by 100 or more New Mexicans had the Iputlook been favorable. But after conferring with the leaders in both branches of congress, the advance guard decided that statehood legislation could not be secured this session, no matter how many men appeared on the scene to urge its enactment. inereupon the "big lobby," was called off and the original delegation went home. Two propositions were submitted, but no pledges of any sort were given. First, it was suggested that it might be well to send a congressional party to New Mexico during the coming summer to make an investigation and determine whether or not conditions in that terri tory were such as to justify its admis sion into the Union. The other propo sition waB merely to allow the New Mexicans to come to Washington in force next winter and appear before the territories committees of senate and house in support of their statehood bill. NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON FORBIDS GLAD HAND. TO WELCOME FLEET. It is beieved that the larger part of the battlestip fleet will eventually make a visit to the Orient, in the in terests of preserving the entity of China. Secretary Metcalf has made public the report of Admiral Convese on the effectiveness and standing of the Amer ican navy, which is to the effect that our navy iB as good as thejbest in every thing but numbers. There is an outlook of plague in Germany's West Africa colonies. The report is again current that Japan is trying to float a loan In Paris. Premier Franco has reached Genoa badly worn out by his flight from Lisbon. The garrison at Fort Yellowstone will be increased to four troops of cavalry of 100 men each. Two men were killed while walk ing on the railroad near Billings, Mont. They were too drunk to no tice an approaching train. The house committee on military affairs has agreed to recommend more pay for enlisted men. J. Pierpont Morgan was an inter ested spectator during the senate de bate on the pending currency bill. Turkey is withdrawing her troops from the Russian frontier of Persia and the outlook seems to be for peace. Manager Conreid, of the New York opera, has resigned and will be suc ceeded by a famous director from Milan, Italy. Aner being in tne Hands or re ceivers for eight years the assets of a New York bank shrunk from 1150,000 to $36,000. Count Boni de Castillane was fined $20 for his recent assault on his rival, Prince de Sagan, and the lat ter was given 20 cents damages. Secretary Shaw deplores the fact that most of the ships tending the battleship fleet carry some foreign flag and he urges the building up of our merchant marine. In a speech before the Lincoln club of Kalamazoo, Mich., Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, said federal Honors of Vice Admiral for Evans at Callao, Peru. Lima, Feru, Feb. 18. The Ameri can fleet, which is steaming up the west coast of South America, is expect ed to arrive at Callao next Thursday, and the government has ordered that Rear Admiral Evans be tendered the honors of a vice admiral. The cruiser Corone Bolognsi left Callao tonight for this port. Everything is in readiness at Lima and Callao for a glorious welcome to the Americans. The official program includes a great banquet which will be given by President Pardo to the officers in commemoration of Washington's birthday. On Friday Admiral Evans, if his health permits, will visit the president and the visit will be returned on board the Connecticut. A bull fight has been fixed for Monday, at which it is expected nearly all the officers and at least 5,000 of the sailors will have an opportunity to see the sport of the country. An excursion to Mount Meiggs has been arranged for Tuesday and on Wednesday there will be a re ception at the American legation. The war minister will give a dinner to the American officers on Thursday, Febru ary 27, and the following evening the National club will give an officers' ball. Corrupt Practices Act May Be Found Unconstitutional. Salem That the corrupt-practices bill, to be submitted to a vote of the people under the initiative and ref erendum, is in direct conflict with that section of the Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech is be lieved by many who have read the measure. The bill makes it a crime for any person to ask, solicit or in any manner try to induce or per suade a voter on election day to vote for or against any candidate or meas ure. This would bar the use of any kind of argument on election day and there is doubt whether it would be constitutional. Under this section of the law it is probable that newspapers published on the morning of election day would be prohibited from printing anything calculated to influence voters in de termining how'to mark their ballots. The words "in any manner try to Induce or persuade" would cover a multitude of acts. Candidates who went to the polls and extended the glad hand to voters would unques tionably come within the terms of the act, for it is common knowledge that a warm handshake is one of the most potent means of getting votes.
