ARIZONA'S TURN.
The House Votes to Admit Her "a q
state.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Is The bill for
the admission of Arizona was put
through the house Friday and the bill
for the admission of New Mexico
was well under way when a wrangle
over what was to be done with
Oklahoma interviewed and the de-
bate thus precipitated lasted until adj
iournment
very few amendments were adopt
ed. One increasing the grant of lands
for state institutions as follows: zone
hundred thousand acres each for
an insane asylum, penitentiary
and deaf and dumb asylum
and 50, 900 acres for a hospital
for disabled miners" was adopted, also
one striking out the scale of fees for
court officials anC making them con-
form 10 existing laws. Motions to con-
solidate the judicial district of Utah and
Arizona aud TO reduce the salary of
the federal judge were defeated.
An amendment proposed by Mr..
Baker rep, \. H. reducing the per-
centage of the proceeds of the sale of
public lands to be set aside as a per-
manent fund for common school pur-
poses from 10 TO 5. making it in this re-
spect conform to the Utah bill, was
adopted without objection,
The republica ms generally did not re-
frain from voting on the final passage of
the bill, although many of them voted
against it. The motion was carried
lS5 To Gland the bill for the admis-
sion of Arizona was passed.
As soon as the vote was announced
Mr. Wheeler moved that the house go
into the committee of the whole on the
bill for the admission of New Mexico.
The republicans made no attempt to
hlibuster against the motion, which
was carried without division, The de-
bate took wide range.
Mr.. Pence pop, Coll said he should
vote for the bill as he had voted for the
bills for the admission of Utah and
Arizona lie felt in honor bound to do
so. On the republican side of the
house, he said, he found a disposition
10 admit Utah, Arizona and New Mexico
if there was any guaranty that okla
homa, which was a republican terri
tory, would also come into ii e union.
There had been some hesitation about
Oklahoma. He called upon Mr.
Wheeler, the chairman of the terri
torial committee, to say whether the
bill for the admission of Oklahoma
would be reported.
Mr. Wheeler in reply stated that the
difficulty in the way of the admission
of 0 oklahoma was the five civilized In
dian tribes, whose treaties gave them
power To prevent the admission of that
territory. lie said that the president
would probably send commissioner to
treat with the Indians.
From that time until adjournment
the debate touched more on the gues-
ton of what was 20 be done with Okla
homa than the admission of New Mex
leo. 1t was participated in by Messrs.
Hatch, Simpson, Dunn IN. j., Spring
er, Washington (Tenn.) and Clark
(Mo.). At the conclusion of Mr.. Clarks
speech the committee rose and the
house at $50 adjourned.

on charge of completely with Phil
Scheig in robbing the Bank of Mime
apolis of $4,000. Mrs. Floyd was ar
rested on beuch warrant while on a
visit TO her son at the county Jail.
IL is now believed that in some way
the Floyds, mother and sons, became
possessed of the knowledge of Scheig's
populations about three years ago, and
that since that time they have used
that knowledge to extort money from
him.
Scheig himself said To an Associated
press reporter that shortly before his
flight he had called on Mrs. Floyd and
given her $3.50 for her trip to Paris He
had given her other money. he said, but
could not give the exact amount,
Scbeig still refuses to tell how much
money he took from the Bank of Min
neapoiis. and the officers of that insti-
tuition maintain a studious silence in
regard to the matter.
