| Show THE SENATE committee on lerrjtoriesha finally taken action on the BASKIXCULLOM disfranchisement bilL and that action will be unfavorable to the measure A telegram says the bill will be reported to the Senate with a recommendation that action on it be indefinitely postponed This is equivalent to the rejection of the bill by the committee commit-tee and of course kills it in the Senate as tho matter will never bo called up The committee however it is said will adopt a bill recently reported to tho Senate to secure se-cure tho purity of elections in Arizona which bill contains an oath similar that contained in the Idaho statute If such a bill has been reported to the Senate tho fact has not been announced in the regular accounts of Congressional proceedings Wo are inclined to believe that the sender of yesterdays press dispatch got things somewhat some-what mixed Instead of the al1e Arizona bill having been reported it is probably the case that such a bill has been framed by the committee or by Secretary Munrnr of Arizona and its provisions will be made applicable to both territories Howeverits something of a gain that the infamous CUL LOB bill has been killed oven though another scoundrelly measure may follow it |
