BurIeigh ReapportiOnment Bill
Goes Through Easily.
SENATORS PUSH TT.
No State Will Lose a Member as
Law Passed.
Provision Against the Gerry
mander Is Incorporated.

Washington, Jan. 9.-By vote of 165
to 1O2, the house accepted the reappor-
tionment plan proposed by the Burleigh
BILL which increases the membership OF
the house during the next decade from
S57, the present membership. and the
membership proposed by the committee
in the Hopkins bill to 1885, The result
was largely brought about by the m
duence of certain senators from several
of the larger northern states, who threw
the weight of their influence in the scale
In favor of the larger membership
When it became apparent that these
factors were at work against his bill
Mr.. Hopkins attempted to compromise
by giving an additional representative
each to North Dakota, Colorado and
Florida, but his adyersaries refused to
compromise after complete victory was
assured.
The Crumpacker proposition to recon-
nit the bill for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning what states abridged the right
to vote to an extent which would entail
reduced represent atiOn was defeated, 13O
to no. There was no roll call on this
vote, but a number of Republicans
voted with the Democrats. Under the
bill passed no state loses a representa-
tive and the following make gains:
illinois, New York and Texas three
each: Minnesota New Jersey and Penn
syIvania two each, and Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida,
Louisiana. Massachusetts, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Washington, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin, one each.
The bill provides that whenever a new
state is admitted the representative as
signed to it shall be in addition to the
number provided in the bill. 1t also
adds a provision never hitherto incor-
porated in a reappOrtionment bill to the
effect that congressional districts, IN
addition to being contiguous shall also
be compact States hich are allow
ed additional representatives by the bill,
shall by it's terms. elect them at large
until the legislature shall redistrict the
state
