be begun the construction of new
steamer for the International line, run
ming to Eastern Maine and the Mari
time Provinces. The new boat will be
entirely different from any of the pres-

will be 262 feet long, in shape modifi-
cation of two or three of the fastest of

WHO IS TO BLAME?
The Only Apparent Obstacle to
Statehood.
A Letter From Senator Platt in
Which the Blame Is Placed
Where 1t Belongs.

In letter of recent date to ex-Gov-
ernor Wolfey, Senator o. H. Platt OF
Connecticut, thus shows where the
blame lies for the delay of action on
the Arizona admission bill. Says he 3:
81 have no idea that Mr.. Faulkner,
the chairman of the committee, Con ter
ritories) intends to call up the Arizona
bill this session. He would be glad to
excuse himself on the theory that there
is Republican opposition to it, but |
know OF none"
No man is better acquainted with
the status of the statehood bill and the
causes which impede its passage than
Senator Plat He was chairman OF
senate committee on territories during
the Fifty Second congress and is now a
member of that committee. That he
knows of no Republican opposition to
the bill is certainly In this case equival-
ent to saying that there is none.
There can, therefore, be no doubt as to
the response bility of whatever delay the
bill has encountered or may encounter.
The only apparent obstacle is Senator
Faulkner and he is Democrat.

About 2:30 yesterday morning east
Washington street was startled by two
shots fired in rapid succession. An Of
icer who hurried in the direction of the
shots found J. M. Sparks. proprietor OF
the Lemon hotel, standing with q
smoking pistol in his hand and ex-
planning the causes of the fusilade.
Two young men Billy Waters and
Frank Jocquette had come to the bar
and being in musical mood had per-
sisted in singing to the great discomfort
of the guests of the house. By means
of beer glasses, boot jacks and other
convenient missiles he had induced them
to vacate the premises. They returned
to Josh him. He didn't care SO
much for that but he feared they were
going to strike up another tune. He
believed that in that event he waf
within his right in acting in self de.
tense for hadn't a man been killed
across the street a few nights before for
only attempting burglary?
So he shot and Jacquette said that a
bullet whistled go close to his ear that
he imagined he heard the coroner sum
moning jury.
Sparks was arrested. He will have 6
hearing before Recorder Schwartz this
morning after which the case will prob
ably find its way into court of jus
tice of the peace.
