FAVORABLy REPORTED
Bill To Admit Arizona to Statehood

building Appropriations.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Mitchell of oregon today reported to the
senate from the elections committee the
joint resolution proposing am amend
ment to the constitution providing for
the election of senators by a direct vote
of the people. The committee says the
accompanying report has approached
the subject of proposed change in the
method of electing senators with full
appreciation of the gravity of the sub
ject and of the Importance of public in
terests involved. The objections that
are raised to the proposed change are
discussed fully. The amendment, it is
held, does not in the slightest degree
trench upon the system upon which our
government is founded
One of the weightiest and principal
objections to the present system of
electing senator's says the report, says
the right and power of the voter are
hedged about and eircumscribed, his
will is manacled, he can not vote for his
choice. II carries with it the impica-
tion that the people. the qualified vot-
ers, are for some reason unfit for the
fun exercise of the elective franchise.
While it Is possible that the induce
ments of a wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS
aspirant for senatorial honors may
reach and influence the majority of
small body in the legislature. such
things would be impossible were the
decision left to the great mass of the
voters
Public opinion, it is argued, demand
the change proposed. The demand is
loud and emphatic; pronounced as 1t is
imperative. earnest as it seems to be-
almost unanimous among the great
masses of the people.
To Admit Arizona.

TO UNITE THE FORCES

PuBLICANs OF ONE OPINION.
Bimetallism Must Accomnaux n -

the Country.

Washington. March ia conference
was held in this city today between the
republican silver senators who voted
against the consideration of the house
bill in the senate and a number of man
ufacturers, principally of Pennsylvania,
for the purpose of arriving at an un-
derstanding on which silver advocates
and protectionists can unite. While
the conference resulted in no declara-
tion. those present expressed themselves
as satisfied that the result would be
to promote both interests and that an
important step had been taken in bring
ing them nearer together.
the meeting resulted from corre-
spondence between Mr. Wilhelm of
pennsylvania and Senators Teller of
Colorado and Dubois of Idaho, Carter
and Mantle of Montana, Cannon OF
Utah and Jones of Nevada. These sem
ators were all present at today's meet
ing, as were Representatives Hartman
OF Montana, Allen of Utah and Wilson
OF Idaho and also some 80 representa-
tives or manufacturing interests. The
conference was organized by choosing
senator Dubois as chairman and Mr.
Wilhelm secretary.
Brief speeches were made by all the
senators present. They defined their
position in such manner as to make
1t plain to the manufacturers that there
could be no protective tariff legislation
without the rehabilitation of silver and
that bimetallism and protection, as re-
garded from their standpoint. consti-
tuted an issue before the country. Some
or the manufacturers themselves In
dorsed this position as being the logic
or the country's necessities and political
condition.
President Dornan, of the Manufac-
turers Club of Philadelphia, expressed
the opinion that tariff duties could not
be made high enough to protect the

thought the cause of bimetallism was

VENEZUELAN NATTER RnsuMED
Negotiations VIII Not Present Grave
Obstacles.

Washington, March 20.-No denial is
made in official circles here OF the fact
that direct negotiations with Great
Britain respecting the Venezuelan
boundary dispute has been resumed by
our state department at the point where
they were left by the exchange of notes
between Secretary olney and Lord SAL
isbury of last July and November re-
spectively.
Lord Salisbury had the last word, ac-
eording to the published correspond
ence, and the sending of a special mes
sage to congress by President Cleveland
had the effect of delaying a response
to Lord Salisbury's note, but did not re
lieve the department of the necessity
of fulfilling the obligation to reply
eventually. 1t is believed here that not
only has this response been made, but
that other exchanges have followed,
principally through Ambassador Bay
ard at London, and that once more the
negotiations are running along in ex-
cellent temper with a fair prospect of
a satisfactory termination.
1t may be fairly surmised that the
main effort now is to agree upon some
limitation of the extent of the territory
to be thrown into arbitration or direct
negotiations. and compromise is look
ed for between the Schomburgk line.

which Great Britain las been willing

reached as to the limitation of the ar
bitration the remainder of the task will
not present particular difficulty or
