WAsHIyGroS CRY. Dec. i5-The course
of event. in the house today resembled the
haicyon DAYS of the Reed congress, when
legislation was rushed through at gaiiop-
ing speed. The bill for the admission of
Arizona vas put through under whip and
spur and the bill fer the admission of New
Mexico was well under way when a
wrangle over what was 10 be done with
Oklahoma intervened and the debate
lasted until adjournment.
The bulk OF Eastern opposition 70 admis-
sion of the territories. as expressed by
Bingham of Philadelrhia. was p-edicated
on the theory that while the Eastern
states, rich in wealth and strong in popu-
lation, would be able to hold their own in
the house, where the basis of representa-
ton was population, the influence of the
great states of the Union would be over
balanced by the greatly increased state
representation in the senate.
Hepburn of Iowa raised objection TO
the clause in the Arizona bill giving the
state four sections in every range. total
OF 73 0o0, 900 acres. Smith of Arizona in
terrupted and declared Arizona would get
just what Iowa got. This Hepburn de-
nied. Even if it had. Iowa had 1900 600
inhabitants. To the suggestion that peo-
pie would leave Iowa to go to Arizona,
Hepburn simply moved his hand con-
temptuously. The idea that people
would go from Iowa out TO that arid
country is preposterous," he said. II
went out there once and / never saw a
green thing unless it were brceches."
Bowers of California, in heated reply,
drew graphic picture of the valleys of
Arizona. which were more fertile, he de-
.ciared. than the plains of the Nile. In
five years. he predicted. the population of
Arizona would be increased over four fold.
Very few amendments were adopted.

resolution of Representative DooIittle. of
Washington, for the appointment of joint
commission, consisting of three senators
and six members OF the house to investi-
gate the present status of the Nicaragua
canal project. Senator Morgan recited al
length the past history of the enterprise
and Its struggle TO obtain government
recognition He thought the time had
come when il should be decided whether
the United States would aid the project or
abandon it altogether. He declared that
the world is determined TO have a canal.
and If the L nited States should not build
il some other nation would. He pointed
out the advantages of control of the canal
by the United States and earnestly hoped
the resolution would be adopted. Senator
Frye also spoke warmly in favor of the
resolution. He stated that the govern
ment which controls the Nicaragua canal
would also control the Hawaiian islands
and that il would be useless for this coun-
try TO annex those islands unless con n.rol

maps, the most successful Commence
ment and the most prosperous year in
history of the University of Tennessee.
Notwithstanding the financial stringen-
cy, there has been large increase of

added, and old departments have been
better equipped. The Trustees, Facul-
ty and patrons are elated over the good
work of the past and the bright pros

A BIG BATTLE SHIP.
The Latest Addition to Uncle Sam,s
New NAVY.

The Latest Addition to Uncle Sans
New Navy.
The big battle ship Massachusetts, wa
successfully launched from the ship
yard of the Cramps at $3.50 o'clock Sat
urday morning, in the presence of Sec
retary of Navy Herbert, Attorney Gen
eral Only, the latter representing the
State of Massachusetts, nun Der of dis
tinguished naval and army officers, and
multitude of $4,000. Miss Leila Her
BERT daughter of the head of the Navy
Department, christened the vessel with
the customary and prettily decorated
bottle of champagne.
The Washington party came on q
special train this morning. The weather
was pleasant. The sun was shining
bright and clear, but its warmth was
tempered with gentle, cool breezes.
The big hull had received the last
touches of coat of white paint above
the line aud of deep red below on Thurs
day, and lowered on the ways all ready
to be sent overheard as soon asthe tide
should be at its flood. When this ar
rived the supports were cut away, and
as the vessel began to move Miss Her
bert gracefully broke the bottle on the
ships prov and christened her ''The
Massachusetts. ~
BY her own momentum the la test ad-
dition to Uncle Sans navy slid grace
fully down the incline and dashed into
the Deleware River. When she reached
midstream lines were thrown to tugs
and the huge craft was soon made fast
to the wharves, where are also moored
the cruisers New York and Columbia
and the ship of war Indiana.
Thousands of spectators, both on
shore and ahoat, Mayor Ssuart and a
party of municipal officials being
among the latter, cheered Justify, while
above this sounded the blowing of
whistles, ringing of bells and booming
OF cannon. The noisy reception con-
tinued for some minutes. A naval bat
TALON consisting of 1875 men and divided
into two companies participated in the
ceremonies. One company acted as
escort to the guests and stood guard at
the launching stand, and when the
launch was effected cleared the way to
the cruiser New York, on which the
second company with band was sta
toned to salute the Massachusetts, as
she took to the water. When the guests
had boarded the cruiser the entire bat
TALON acted as the crew and saluted
the Secretary of the Navy's flag as it
was raised. The dignitaries inspected
the New York, and after banguetting
in the office of the Cramps, returned to
Washington on the special train which
had conveyed them hither.
