Not a small bird, either. Its bill is

YHE SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Republicans Decide to Support
an Omnibus Bill.
ARIZONA Is INCLUDED.
Opposition to Admitting the Territories
by Eastern Senators.
They Are Afraid of Placing Additional
Power in the Hands of Western
PeopIe-The Bill VIII
Pass the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-[Special. 1.-The
action of the Republican senatorial
CAUCUS today in deciding to support an
omnibus bill admitting 70 statehood the
four territories of Utah, New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma, is generally re-
garded here as an indication that the bill
is likely to be passed this session.
It also means that all or none
will be admitted before the close of
the present Congress. The fact that
Arizona has finally been included re-
moves the obstacle which seemed to
cloud the vision OF some of the Republi-
can senators who have heretofore raised
serious objection, hoping that probable
rejection of Arizona would help to pre-
vent the admission of any.
It is believed that some of the New Eng
land Republican Senators will continue
TO oppose the plans, but it is
reasonably safe to predict failure
on their part. The certainty of
the next Congress, which viii be Demo-
cratic in both branches, will pass speedily
bill admitting all the territories, has
had the effect, aad somewhat suddenly
too, of bringing the Republicans to terms.
They realize that if their party is to hang
together in the future and ever make an
other fight in national campaign, they
cannot afford Just as they are about to
loose control of the Senate to place any
distractions in the way of the admission
of new states.
The Democrats failed to help the adj
mission of Montana, the Dakotas and
Washington, and if the Republicans now
fairly, they fear the loss of all four for all
time to come should they refuse at this
time to help them on to statehood. The
main objection for some years and at
present comes from Republicans in the
eastern states, who dread the placing OF
additional power in the hands of the
western people, and from this class all of
the resistance will come when the bill is
taken up in the Senate.
There appears to be no doubt whatever
of the passage of the admission bill in the
House. The Senate although controlled
by Republicans is compelled to act and
every indication therefore points to the
early success of the movement in behalf
of fonr more new states. If by any hook
or crook the few violent opponents of the
admission bill should postpone action
this session, the feeling here is that the
matter viii be delayed only few months,
as the opinion is strong that Mr.. Cleve-
land will call an extra session of Congress
before the regular meeting time in De-
cember, possibly IN the spring.

the Anticipation Bill.

ment increasing the monthly pay of
sergeants of the army.

fou OF the Senate shows that Repeal
Bill win Not Pass.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The Republican
members OF the Senate, under direction
of Senator Sherman, have completed a
poll Of the Senate on the proposed repeal
OF the Sherman silver act of 1890. 1t is
said the result is not at all satisfactory to
those who have looked forward to pos
sible repeal of the act. According to COM
mon report it was discovered that there
are only about eight members on the
Democratic side who can be depended
upon to vote for the repeal, and the re-
suit is even more discouraging on the Re-
publican side.
There are some senators who favor, or
who would vote for repeal, if the measure
came to vote, but who will not vote to
bring the matter under consideration. 1t
is also understood that a majority OF
seven or eight of the Republican side of
the chamber is against bringing the
measure to vote.

Boston, Feb. Joseph N. White, q

get the islands, and she is bound to get
them if possible on account OF their STRAIT
