MajorityisAccused of Referring: to Irish Railrcad-Ballders as ' "ItlffranV WASHINGTON. Dec 15. Senator Bate 'today presented In "the 1Scnate'the minor ity report of the committee on jterritorles. favoring the. immediate, passage of the House omnibus statehood bill without -amendment. -The reportroppesed the -unit ing of Oklahoma and Indian Territory into one state. It shows minutely the condl-. tion of each of the territories and says that these arc such as to callfpr Imme diate statehood. It shows that both ike Republican and Democratic parties in their last National convention adopted planks recommending each of the territories by name for state hood. Such expression, the report con tinues, should be respected by both par ties. Summing up, the minority says: "Each of these territories has complied with every requirement heretofore made by Congress for admission to the" Union. Each has population sufficient for ''representation in Congresp. Each has weaiin aounaant xo support au tne ex penses of statehood.. Each has irutitu UeasUn harmony with the republican gov- .Liberal quotation is made from the re port of the majority on the statehood ' bilL One of the, parts quoted is that re ferring to a statement, made by. a wit ness that some of the' 'white people in the territories are "like the riffraff who fol low tho construction of railroads." Com menting on this statement, the minority says; jnave been the' sturdy. Irishmen, whose picks and shovels and 'spades and labor have built ,tbe hundreds of thousands of miles of American railroad,. Why that 'riff raff should not be .good citizens in New Mexico, as they are In1 every, other state and territory, the report dpes not advise the Senate. Presuming that the witness upon whose testimony this reference to riffraff has been made was greatly misin formed, we are. forced to conclude that there has been a ialsrake made somewhere between the witness and the committee, since tho testimony has all the) marks bf purpose to convict of niipreparednesss on the part of Arlaona and ,New Mexico, rather than to enlighten the Senate- as to their JUnes ior a rpubXcia farm of gov ernment.'' . The report is signed by Senators .Bate; Heltfeld. Bailey and -Patterson, constitut ing the Democratic membership of the committee onterritotles;. RATIFY SPANISH TREATY.

No limit, is fixed to the time for ratification. The , lence between the representa- tlves of the1 ttvo governments is also printed In connection with the treaty. Much of this relates to the question as to whether the new treaty, -would have the effect of revoking the peace treaty made at .Paris after the close of the war of 1S9S. CONTINUE TO RUN TRANSPORTS.
