PROPOSED STATES.

The Proposition to Admit New Mexico.
Utah and Oklahoma -Arizo- a Wishes to
BE Included.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2z-Delegate Har-
sey has received twenty three messages
from Oklahoma and Indian territory,
dealing with the statehood question
alone. AS he expressed it, q cyclone
seems to have broken loose in that
country on the question All the mes
sages received were urging the passage
of a bill making state of Oklahoma,
but two of those coming from the Fl We
civilized tribes suggest that the five
civilized tribes should not be included
in the statehood bill They come from
the Cherokee country.
In explanation of this Harvey stated
that he was perfectly familiar with the
feeling on the question in the Indian
country, and he is positive that the In
dians as a rule are favorable to state
hood outside the Cherokee country. In
the Cherokee nation he says stubborn
opposition viii be met and the friends
of the bill must act on this basis
In this connection it may be of inter-
est to state shat the Cherokee lobbyists
are at work earnestly fighting the state
hood sentiment They have resorted
to all the means in their power and
will continue on this line with all DOS
sible resources
The friends of statehood agree that
| unless the bill is passed this session the
question of making state of Oklahoma
will be more problematic for the next
two years, at least, than ever. An i'm
portant reason for reaching this conclu-
sion is found in the fact that the incom-
ing territorial officers will secretly, if
not openly, oppose such legislation;
they, like all other territorial officers
who hope to continue their jobs, will
be looking after their own personal in
terests. In addition they will have
more influence with the political pow
ers of the times than all the other peo-
pie of the one or two territories COM
bined
Senators Dubois and Carey while
very anxious to have Arizona admitted
rs a state along with Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Utah. say they will gladly
work for the three-state bill, but aim,
if possible, to have Arizona added.
They have resolved upon this plan. de-
spite the earnest appeal of Delegate
Smith and Governor Murphy, of Ari-
zona- who take q middle of the road POI
sition for their territory. They insist
they will resort TO active parliamentary
warfare before su bmitting to the plan
