Senate then proceeded to the cousjdera-
ton of the Senate bill for the formation
and admission into the Union the new
State of Washington, to be composed OF
the present Territory Of Washington and
part OF Idaho Territory.
Mr.. Cullom offered a substitute for tho
bill combining the area OF the State TO the
present Territory of Washington.
Mr. Stewart supported the bill. The
only controvcricd point in the bill, he
said, was TO the inclusion, within the new
State Of Idaho, the portion known ~
north Idaho or the Panhandle. Ito
stated the reasons why the annexation
should take place.
Mr.. Vest doubted the power Of Com
| grcS TO refer the matter OF the annexation
OF northern Idaho 10 the people thereof.
There has been, lac said. vast amount Of
! jurisdiction in the question, and the
| weight oi authority was decidedly against
| such delegation oi legislative power, Tor
this was nothing else. II 1t VAS right that
that part of Idaho Territory should hc cut
of and annexed the Washington state, IL
should be done 10y Congress, and not sub
icctcd TO all the chances Of q popular
| election
Mr.. Dulph supported the bill.
