The Statehood Gill May Be Delayed
Until After the Holidays
Mr.. BAYARD WILL NOT TALK
The Ambassador to Great Britain Declines
to Speak About the Resolution In
Congress to Impeach Him-A

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - Delegate
Flynn may not introduce his Oklahoma
statehood bill until after the holiday
recess. He is for statehood, he de-
clared, on any terms that may be pro-
durable from congress, and is not we'd
ded to any measures so irrevocably as
to be unwilling to accept any other.
The house will be disposed to pass a
measure drawn to Mr.. Flynn's salts
faction, but any measure is GER
tain of amendment in the senate.
There the belief is very generally en-
tertained that the question Of Okla
homa statehood is inseperable from
the Indian territory question and that
they must be solved together.
The Philadelphia Record had an edi-
torial yesterday which very faily ex'
presses the view held by eastern mem
bers. Oklahoma is Landed, its claims to
recognition generously conceded its fit
ness for statehood admitted, whether
regarded from the view point Of popu-
lation or resources, but the edito-
rial concludes much as the argument
of the average eastern member does,
thus: oklahoma has already more in
habitants than had Idaho and Wy
oming when they were admitted into
the union and it promises soon to over
take them both, but the Indian terri
tory should be consolidated with Okla
homa, upon its erection into state.
The two territories together would
form one of the greatest agricultural
states of the union. There is no good
reason for cutting up this region into
two states, when it would make one
great and homogeneous common
wealth"
Mr.. Bayard VIII Not Talk.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE United States
embassy was besieged early to-day by
newspaper reporters anxious to obtain
the views of Ambassador Bayard upon
the demand for his impeachment
made yesterday in the house of repre-
sentahves at Washington by Con-
gresham William Il. Barrett, OF
Massachusetts, on the ground that he
had insulted the country from which
he was accredited and the people he
represented in speeches delivered at
Boston, England, and at Edinburgh,
Scotland, August . and November 7,
respectively. All attempts to induce
Mr.. Bayard or his staff to discuss the
matter failed, while the British officials
also declined to make any statements.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
thinks that Mr. Bayard may resign
after such an attack" ''If SO, it adds,
"his loss will be regretted by all who
have come in contact with such fine
example of a dignified, eloquent
American statesman. But Mr.. Bay
ards indiscretion was so deliberate
that we doubt if he did not contem-
plate this result. After all, we, too,
should resent it if our ministers made
similar statements"

HOW . Manufacturer Daughter Did Not
Become My Lady.
Some years ago I was acting as curate
n a large London parish. Two young
people in whom was greatly interested
were to be married on a certain Wednes-
day in April Contrary to custom, the
bride arrived before the bridegroom
indeed the bridegroom never arrived at
all.
1t subsequently transpired that the
bridegroom had disappeared the previous
evening and was nowhere to be found.
He has not been found to this day. No
cause for his disappearance was ever as
signed, nor has any clew to his where
abouts ever been discovered. The Door
young bride succumbed to the shock,
and it was my melancholy duty to Off
ciate at her burial some weeks later. \
One more case, and I have done. A
curate, in receipt of little more than
e1OO a year, proposed to the daughter of
a wealthy north country manufacturer
and was accepted. Paterfamilias was ex-
tremely angry at this. and forbade the
young fellow his house. Condor compels
me to state that the daughter offered
very lt1le Constance to her fathers OBJ
jections, and the curate, who was genu-
inely fond Of the girl, removed to a dis
tant parish.
Two months after this event he fell
into a ~baronetcy and rather more than
5000 a year. The manufacturer saw
that he had made a mistake and opened
up negotiations in q letter. BY return
he received a telegram with the laconic
information, TOO late" We may be
certain that the good manufacturers
wife gave him a large ''piece Of her
mind" as the saying goes-London

WHY POETRY IS PLENTIFUL.
Views az an English Critic ON America.
Minor Bards.

mtnOf ktArOS.
With Transatlantic Bardlets' ms hi.
headline, u writer il the London Satur
day Review prefaces some rather savage
criticism OF several books of verse recent.
ly published in America with the fol
lowing lively remarks:
They are ~uncommonly like the Eng
hsh poetlings, these transatlantic bard
lets, but there are more Of them. This il
not because the States are less poetica.
than the mother country. but because
they have more people. Moreover, "cul
ture" is generally held in higher esteem
there, and to appear in print is an un.
doubted mark of having obtained it, Just
Is a university degree is a proof, amons
the English middle classes, of its proud
possessor's right to be regarded az O
scholar and a gentleman.
But if the authorship of q book is q
certificate Of taste and reading it be-
comes n diploma in honors when that
book consists of metrical matter. Now,
about 70 per cent of moderately educat-
cd persons can write lines which some
times scan, often rhyme and occasional
~ make sense, and a painfully large pro-
portion of these are impelled to establish
their characters in the eyes Of their
neighbors by the publication of these SO
called verses. A little money or the
power Of deluding a publishers reader,
a simple tribe, is all that is needed. It
must be added that at times the poems"
are a genuine trade success, as are in
England, for instance, the innocent
maunderings Of Sir Edwin Arnold and
Mr.. Lewis Morris, a fact which encour-
ages scores, nay, hundreds, Of other am
bilious and avaricious rhymesters to
emulate the lucky men.
In the States, too, they have their dear
little cliques Of mutual admirers, like
fair brotherhood Of the Rhymers'
club and the Bodley Head, who gener-
ously praise one another's songs-which
they read Tor neglect to read) in presen-
tation copies-and they thus maintain
another's spirit on a little butter.
And then, Of course, there are always
ones aunts and sisters and wives and
that sort Of thing. There are more of
these i'll the United States than here;
hence there is more minor poetry.
