Territorial Delegates Hope to Push
Matters at This Session.

Washington. April 2.-Today's meet
ing of the house committee on territories
was devoted to the discussion of the
Arizona and New Mexico statehood
| bills. No vote was taken. Delegates
Murphy and Catron asserted that the
| opponents of statehood were doing talk
ing merely as a flibustering move. Con-
sequently the meeting was rather a
warm one. The two delegates exerted
; their endeavors to induce the committee
to vote aid, but refused to be drawn in
TO debate, although the opponents of
statehood asked them many questions
TO prevent the consumption of time the
| delegates declined to answer most of
| the questions, taking the ground that
| the matter had been thoroughly dis
cussed already
The only test vote was that upon con-
sideration of the bills, which carried
6 to g.
Those voting for consideration were:
Perkins, republican, OF Iowa; Lefevre,
republican. of New York; Avery. repub-
lican, of Michigan: Harris, republican.
of Ohio; Turner, democrat. of Virginia;
Cooper, democrat. of Texas
Against: Knox, republican, of Mass
achusetts; Taft republican. of Ohio;
Lowe, republican. of New York; Harris
on, democrat, of Louisiana; owens. dem
ocrat, of Kentucky
Mr.. Taft, during the discussion de-
clared congress could not blind its eyes
to the fact that the admission of two
territories would add four votes for sill
yer to the senate. He argued that it was
not fair that the existing status should
be changed in the midst of a great CON
troVersy like the financial question.
That question should be settled by the
Union as it stands. and that the sound
money men should not be handicapped
by silver states.
He also charged that 25 per cent of
the inhabitants of Arizona and 80 per
cent of New Mexicos inhabitants are
illiterate.
Mr.. owen said territories whose area
was greater than that of New England.
and a population less than that required
Tor congressional district were unfit
for statehood. He also attacked the
system of representation proposed for
the constitutional convention in Arizona
as a partisan one, devised to further
republican interests.
Mr.. Avery held that the only oues
tons to be considered were the oi,alifi-
cations of the territories for statehood
Mr. Harris argued that the silver
question should be brought into the CON
troversy.

mer steel in this country were In SEES

had been done to regulate the amount

VIII be impossible to say what the
terms would be. each company would
make certain percentage of the steel

The reasons given for the proposed ac-
tion are over-production and the con-
sequent fall in prices which had made a
combination necessary 80 that the
manufacturers may continue to run
their works at a profit. 1t has been
reported that the combination, which
includes the makers of more than one
half OF the steel product of the world,
has come to some sort of an agreement
with the makers abroad and that prices
can be easily maintained in this way
This Is, however, denied by those at

To NOTIFY THE CANDIDATEs.-ln
Madison Square Garden, New York
city, early in the month of August Hon.
William j. Bryan will be formally ap-
prised of the fact that he has been NOM
mated for President. At the same
time and at the same place Hon. Arthur
Sewall will be notified of his nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency. This
matter was decided by the notification
committee, which met at the Palmer
House, Chicago, Saturday evening.
This action was taken at the request OF
Mr.. Bryan, who thought it would be
wise to fight in the heart of the enc.
my's country. The committee organ
lied by selecting Senator White chair
man. Both Mr.. Bryan and MIR. Sewall
were present, as were also nearly al
the members of the national commit
tee. The chairman was directed to ap
point committee of three to prepare
an address to be presented to each o
the nominees at the time of their notit
cation.

MCKINLEY ON THE SITUATION

MCKINLEY ON THE SITUATION.
The Foraker Club, Of Cleveland,
three hundred strong, called upon Gov
ernor Mckinley Saturday, and in the
course of his remarks to his visitors Mr.
Mckinley said: "My fellow citizens,
recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country a re-
sponsibility and duty greater than
that of any since the civil war. Then
it was struggleto preserve the govern
ment of the United States. Now it is
a struggle to preserve the financial
honor Of the government of the United
States. Then sections was arrayed
against section. Now men of all sec
tions can unite and will unite to rebuke
the reputation of our obligations and
the debasement of our currency. We
have the same currency that we had in
1S92-good the world over and unques-
toned by any people. Then, too, we
had unexampled credit and prosperity.
Our difficulty now is to get that money
in circulation and invested in produc-
tive enterprises which furnish employ
ment to American labor. This is i'm
possible with the distrust that hangs
over the country at the present time,
and every effort to make our dollars or
any one of them worth less than one
hundred cents each only serves to in
crease that distrust. The employment
of our idle money-the idle money that
we already have-in gainful pursuits
will put every idle man in the country
at work, and when there is work there
is wages, and when there is wors and
wages there are consumers. who consti-
tute the best market for the products
of our soil. Having destroyed business
and confidence by a free.trade policy,
it is now proposed to make things still
worse by entering upon an era of
deprecated currency. Not content
with the Inauguration of the ruinous
policy which has brought down the
wages of the laborer and the price of
farm products, its advocates now offer
a new policy which will diminish the
value of the money in which wages
and products are paid. Against both
of these we stand opposed. Our creed
embraces an honest dollar, an untarnish
ed national credit, adequate revenues
for the uses of the government, pro-
lection to labor and Industry, preserva-
ton of the home market and recipro-
city in trade"

AMONG those so-called democrats
who have announced their intention OF
voting for Mr.. Mckinley. assigning as
the reason therefor the fact that the
national democratic convention has
declared for the resumption of silver
coinage, are the civil service commits
sioners. Why certainly. That they
should have done so was only natural
and only what was expected, for the ma
tional democratic convention not only
declared that the coinage of silver shall
be free, but that the offices of the gov
eminent shall he free to all citizens OF
the country who can fill them honest,
~ and efficiently, and not be restricted
to the small number who can answer
quiz class questions; and, under such 8
civil service system, of course, the chairs
of the present civil service commission
ers would be vacant.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Hon William j.
Bryan reached the Clifton House at
$50 o'clock this morning from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Lyman Trumbull where
he and Mrs. Bryan spent Saturday
night and Sunday. In the lobby of the
Clifton Mr.. Bryan met Senator White,
of California, and the other members of
the sub committee of the committee on
notification who had come by appoint
ment to have chat about the arrange
ment for giving formal notice OF Mr..
Brvan's selection by the democratic
convention. MIR. Arthur Sewall, the
vice presidential candidate, was also
present. The subcommittee spent an
hour with Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Sewall,
and the result of all their talk was
determination to postpone the date OF
notification until some time after July
81, the date first named. The mem
beers of the subcommittee said after
the meeting that the date would IN
doubtedly be during the second week
in August and that New York would
be the place. Mr.. Bryan told the COM
mittee that he wanted to change his
plans and would like to 60 to his home
in Lincoln as soon as as possible. Just
after the meeting adjourned he express
ed his intentions on this subject to a
United Press reporter. 81 am going to
