CHANCES FOR ADMISSION
Outlook for the Territories Not
Very Bright.
1t Is Probable That Col. NJ. II.
McCord VIII Be Appointed Gov
ernor of Arizona.

Senator ShOup of Idaho, who goes TO
the head Of the COMMITTEES on. Territories,
is a strong friend of the admission Of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona, but
it is probable that he Will continue the
Republican policy OF shutting out ''unde-
sirable States" that have way Of send
ing silver Senators TO Washington. All
three Territories were represented in the
last Congress by Republicans, but each
one of them went Democratic at the
elections of 1896, and retired Delegates
Murphy, Catron and Flynn.
1t is said that Flynn VIII certainly be
nominated to be governor Of Oklahoma.
For the governorship Of Arizona, Col.
Myron H McCord, of Phoenix, has been
practically selected. He was a Mckinley
delegate TO the st Louis convention. and,
beside being the ablest Republican in the
Territory, is personal friend Of PreSi-
dent Mckinley, with whom he served in
Congress. The present Democratic gov
ernor, u. 7. Franklin. viii probably he
removed as soon as Secretary Bliss takes
up the serious charges against hIm now
on file in the department.
\ leading candidate for governor OF
New Mexico is eX-Congressman II. H
Price, also formerly Of Wisconsin. He
is the son OF the wellknown William
T. Price. who was long in Congress, and
succeeded his father on the latter death.
New Mexico has sent a large delega-
ton to the Capital or the United States
TO present the claims OF sundry persons
resident in the Territory to appointment
as governor. These visitors to the cap
ital divide their time between the houses
ex-senator Elkins. eX Representative Catron
and the EX XeCutiye Mansion. They are
all very active and each has been eX-
tensvely indorsed for advancement by
the Republicans OF the Territory. 1t is
regarded by all of them preposterous to
think that the President would, under
any circumstances. name any but resi-.
dent of the Territory for governor. The
leading candidates who are on the spot
are cX-Gov. l.. Bradford Prince, Capt.
Collier and H. II. Price, the latter for
meriy OF Wisconsin.

REORGANIZATION IMPROBABLE
An Agreement Appears to Have
Been Reached Whereby Each
Party VIII FIJI Its Committee
Vacancies Burrows to Succeed
sherman on Finance Committee.

The Republican Senatorial steering corn.
nittee met yesterday morning in Senator
Allison's room, but no action OF any kind
was taken. The members received Their
the conference was breaking up. While
no member of the committee was able TO
offer tangible solution TO the existing
difficulty in connection with the filling
OF the vacancies on the committees. it
was the general impression that no com
mnation having for its purpose the organ
izat;on OF the Senate committees by the
silver vote could be made effective.
Several members Of the committee, who,
as individuals, have given this question
the most panstaking consideration and
have held numerous conferences with
leaders Of both factions Of the Democratic
party and the bolting Republicans, have
reached the conclusion that the differ
enccS between these elements are 50 grea I
and the demands made SO incapable of
being complied with, that ii will be ut
terly impossible for the opposition 10 the
Republicans to concentrate upon any lar
ticulaF plan Of action.

Inittce Will be held today. denial Is

promise has been agreed to whereby the
Republicans are TO retain control until
December, when the regular session con

ed as Republicans and that the Democrats
Will fill their vacancies
Alr. Burrows OF Michigan appears to be
slated for the place Of Mr Sherman on
the Finance Committee. This committee
will be favorable to a tariff bill, but not
necessarily a gold committee. Senator
Jones of Nevada will vote for a tariff
bill without free silver rider being at
taChed and viii oppose such action If the
free silver men attempt il in committee
Mr.. Platt OF New York made a strong
fight Tor the place on the Finance Com
nittee, but his long absence from the
Senate initiated against him Mr.. ALI
son will remain as chairman Of the Com
nittee on Appropriations, with good
working majority behind him. With this
condition of affairs in that committee
neither Senators Teller nor Pcttigrew will
be disturbed.

The SENATE PROCEEDINGS
Mr.. Wood Not Permitted TO Take
the Oath of Office.
Mr.. Hnar Gives Notice of a Pro-
posed Radical Amendment
to the Rules.

IL the Senate Yesterday a communication
stating that he had appointed Andrew T.
Wood Senator from that state to supply
the vacancy caused by the expiration OF
the term Of Senator Blackburn. The COVER
nor seems To rely for his authority to
make the appointment on the fact that the
vacancy happened when the State leeis-
Iature was not in session. A motion by Mr.
Hoar That Mr. Wood be admitted to take
the Oath was not pressed: and the question
was Oh motion OF Mr.. German referred
60 the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tious.
Mr. Hoar Of Massachusetts gave notice
OF two amendments to the rules, which
were read They were both radical innO-
vations upon the practice of the Senate
for century past. The fiIst, according
TO the notice presented by Mr. Hoar, was
ito enable the Senate to act on lcgisla
ton when il desires, after reasonable de
bate It provided that when any bill
or resolution had been under consider
alton more than one day any Senator
could demand that debate be closed If "A
ma joriiy Of the Senators so decided there
should be a vote without further delay,
ana no motion should bc in order pending
the vote but one 10 adjourn or to take

The other was in relation to calls of

made of the absence Of n quorum the pre-
siding officer, instead Of instantly ordering
a call to he made, shall determine the mat

Is TO be called. The purpose Of this pro
posed change was stated TO be Ito pre-

No More Nominations Sent i'm by

DISAPPOINTED POLITICIANS
Mr.. Mckinley Hores to- Secure the
Passage of Tariff Law Before
The First Day of May Has
Learned Lesson From Pres.-
dent Cleveland.

The special session Of the Senate came
10 an end very abruptly Yesterday after
noon. Summoned in extraordinary session
by the very last act of authority exercised
ny Grover Cleveland, it succeeded i'll con
frming eight Cabinet nominations, pen
ron agent, and one postmaster, and then
died OF sheer inanitiou. The senate, there
fore, VIII not meet again until next Mon
day, when the House and Senate meet in
the special session called 10y President
Mckinley.
Tic failure OF the President 10 send in
another batch Of nominations was bitter
disappointment TO the ambitious politicians,
WHO still linger in tie dty. They had
earnestly expected and fondly hoped that
forty or fifty of their number would be put
Dat Of misery But the President did not
kre fit 10 resolve their doubts and fears
favorably. and all the aspiIants are still
hung up like Malomet's coffin.
IL grows more and more plainly mani
fest with each passing day that President
Mckinley proposes Ia fill the offices very
Ieisurely, and 10 hold open as many as
he conveniently can until after the pas
sage OF the tariff bill. which lac hopes
10 make the first and most important
achievement OF his administration. 1t
is said the President has strong hopes
that the Dlll may be a law before the
first day of May. 1t is also claimed that
he wants the Till a. u VIII finally he
reported from the Committee on WAYS and

hopes To see II pass both Houses without
a change
He believes that such a bill would toe re-
garded as the achievement Of the Re
pubiicau party, aud would not be en-
bauassed 10y the claim that it was the
result OF a lot Of trading between Senators
sdch as marked aud inarred the Wilson bill
on it's course throughout the Senate. The
new President wants no policy of perfiGy
and iiShonor' in uis bill, and is mapping i
campaign that has strong prospect of sue
cess. particularly in the light Of experience.
President Cleveland was able to carry
his Sherman repeal bin through the Fifty
thirG Congress in the face Of the strongest
klHd Of opposition from his 0 WI party. He
did ii 10y the manipulation and diStribu-
tion of the Federal offices. He wrought a
great change in the views OF many Senators

SAENGERBUND STILL WINNING.
Split Even in Set of Bowling Games
With Carroll Institute.

After winning both games in the set with
the Carroll Institute reserves the evening
before, the Washington Saengerhund took
the same team into camp for one game
last night. On the division of the honors,
the Saengers came within one game of
tieing the institute in the reserve team
series.
The bowling last night was of high
order and the home team. the Saengers,
won the first game by 50 pins, and lost
the second by 20. Keane. of the Carols,
led the evening with the best average, with

and the second highest single game, 1s6.

evenings playing, and the games We're

WANTS TO DIVIDE WYOMING.
Idaho Would Like ii Slice of Her
Sister state.

The Constitution of the United States
provides that no change shah be made
in the alteration Of tie Boundaries OF any
OF the States of the Union without the
consent Of the legislatures Of the States
affected and also Of the Congress of tie
United States. But the legislature of the
State of Idaho seems TO proceed uEon the
theory that it can annex a portion of
Wyoming to itself without he formality
of consulting the people Of the State which
it is proposed to dismcmDCr.
Inthe Senate yrSterda Y afternoon Senator
Shoup, of Idaho, presented n memorial
from the legislature Of his State urging
Congress to annex all thatpartiol Of Wyom-
ing west OF the Wind River Mountain; that
is to say, the headwaters OF the Snake
River, to Idaho. The memorial recited the
material advantage that it would be To
the people resident in this territory to be
a portion OF Idaho oinstead Of Wyoming.
The wyoming legislature has not Yet
been heaId fl ON, but Senator Warren of
Wyoming made it perfectly plain by some
remarks that he made i'll the Senate yeSter-
day that the people Of Wyoming Were bit
terly tostile to this proposed change. He
said that it was only an attempt to take
part of Il prosperous and popular State
and add it to poorer one. Senator
Shoup said to The Times yesterday after
noon that he had Informed the persons in
his State WHO were most interested in this
change that the first step necessary was
to secure the cooperation OF the leeiSla
ture of Wyoming, and without such course
it would be wholly impossible TO annex any
nart OF that State to Idaho.
1t is apparent that the Senator does not
regard the pI oSpects for annexation, which
is so much desired at Boise, as at all hope
full or promising.

TREATIES IN COMMITTEE.
Arbitration TO Be Considered on
Friday.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations did not take up the general treaty
of arbitration between the United states
and Great Britain at its meeting yesterday
morning. The sDbJeC. was not mentioned
except in connection with u motion, which
was agreed to, that a special meeting be
held tomorrow FOR the purpose OF consider
ing that convention.
The Alaskan boundary treaty was, after
a short discussion, ordered TO be favOrably
reported Much of the time OF the coul-
mittee yesterday morning was consumed
in self-congratulations over the change in
the Administration and the discussion of
the probability of a freer exchange of
views and Information between the eXecu-
tive and legislative branches Of the Gov
ernment, owing 10 the elevation of Sher-
man, the former chairman Of the COM
mittee, TO the premiership Of the Admins
