on the address in reply TO the speech
from the throne. Mr.. Iotm Dillon. National
1st. member for East Mayo, demanded that
the allotment of shares in the chartered
companies. especially the British South
Africa Company. be published. He made
this demand. he said, IN view OF the wide
spread conviction that members of the
press and men prominent iii Parliament
were not free from suspicion.
Mr. Dillon. continuing his remarks. pro-
tested against an increased expenditure of
money ror naval purI oses, unless Just
proper! ion OF the surplus from the budget
should he handed over to Ireland.
Referring TO the Venezuelan difficulty,

NO MORE SILVER SENATORS
Arizona Statehood Bill Defeated by
the House Territories Committee.
missiOn-May BE Reconsidered If
Absentees So Desire

Notwithstanding the veil OF secrecy
with which the House Territories Commit
tee surrounded their meeting this NOR n
ing, the fact Is known that a vote was
taken on tie Arizona Statehood bill and
that the measure was defeated by vote
OF 9 to 8. The gentlemen who voted in
the opposition We're Messrs. Hadley Of
Illinois, Knox of Massa chusetts, Taft Of
Ohio and Low of New York, Republicans.
and Harrison OF Alabama and Owens OF
Kentucky, Democrats.
The affirmative vote was cast by the
chairman. Mr.. Scranton, of Pennsylvania;
Perkins OF Iowa. Avery CT Michigan, Turner
of Virginia. and Cooper of Texas. The abb
sentecs were Harris of Ohio and Lereyre OF
New York.
After some discussion it was agreed that
IL Messrs- Harris and Leyere unitedly de-
sire a reconsideration OF the vote their re-
quest will be granted. 1t was learned after
the committee adjourned that Mr.. Lefevre
is satisfied with the defeat of the bill, and
that he will not ask for reconsideration.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Harris had he
been present would have opposed the meas
ure.
The significance of this vote will he bet
ter understood when it is remembered that
the opposition to the admission of Arizona
is based on the objection that the granting
of Statehood would increase the number OF
free silver advocates in the Senate, and this
was the primary cause Of the defeat of the
bill.
Ii Is also regarded as an indication of
the sentiment of the committee with ref
erence to the New Mexico and Oklahoma
bills. the passage of which, in addition TO
the Arizona bill, would add six new Sena-
tors to the list OF free coinage men in that
body.
