Statehood May Block All Legisla-
ton.
SENATOR QUAY MAKES DIRE THREAT
Senator Tilman Aims Shaft at sena-
tor Allison, But the Iowa Man
Practically Ignores the Southerner
--Hepburn's Bill Finds Favor,
IBY H. ]. MAHIN.l

Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-The
statehood fight in the senate was
taken up again today. This struggle
is of much more Importance than
appears on the surface. Under it
lies the possibility of deadlock in
the senate which would last through
out the short tree months ahead
of the session and leave other
important matters untouched. With
Senators Allison and Dolnver
Iowa is unquestionably lined up
with the majority of the re-
publicans in the senate opposed
Ito the omnibus bill. Fighting for
the omnibus bill are all the demo-
cratic senator's and small republican
contingent led by Senator Quay. OF
Mr.. Quay some hard things are be-
Ing said. He is declared to be de-
termined to force the omnibus bill
on to the senate with the threat that
If If Is not passed he will block all
other desired legislation. This is quite
certain that Mr., Quay's opponents
will not give in. AS important as is
action on other matters, it is doubted
If it should be secured at the expense
of admitting two states which are so
pldluly SIiOWu 10 DS uullL lOf dQullC-
lance. There is no doubt about the
string points in the,report of the COM
mittee on this point. Mr.. Quay
! however has a very effective hand
on the situation, in the fact that two
republican state conventions have de-
clared for the admittance of all three
states. He does hesitate to use this
in his bland way at every opportunity.
1t is still hard to find many who think
that any statehood bills will be passed
at all. Yet Mr.. Quay is trying hard
to bring the matter to a vote in his
positive assurance, that he has
enough votes to defeat the single
state bill and pass one admitting all
I three territories. In fact he gives
the names of enough republican sena-
TORS declared certain to vote with
aim to carry his point. The Presi-
Gent is worried over the decision
of the republicans and is said to favor
a compromise admitting Arizona and
New Mexico as one state
Allison VS.. Tillman.
The senate was treated to- strik-
Ing contrast of men the other day,
Senator Allison was talking for the
bill paying the expenses and compen-
sation of the coal commission. Mr..
Tillman arose to fight the measure
and amid his remarks at Mr.. Allison,
Mr.. Tillman appeared at as great a
disadvantage as would spoiled child

striking at marble statue. Mr.. ALI
son was practically marble. He
ignored him as much as senatorial
courtesy would allow Tillman shout
ed a CHALLENGES to Mr.. Allison, de-
manding of him to know
whether or not sit was true that the
coal barons of Pennsylvania were
mining coal contrary to the laws of
the state" In company with others
Mr.. Allison evidently failed to see
what this had to do with appropriat-
ing money to pay the members of
the strike commission and briefly re-
marking that he was not well ac-
quainted with the laws Of Pennsyl-
vania, begged to be excused from
answering the question. He then
took his seat and allowed Mr.. Tillman
to roar for a WHILE. after which the
bill passed without trouble.
Mr.. Hepburn's Bill Favored.
There seems every probability that
Mr. Hepburn's bill appropriating
100000 for the enforcement of the
Sherman antitrust law will be re-
ported and quite likely passed by the
house. AS has been stated all along
Mr.. Hepburn's clear and concise ideas
on the trust question have been high
ly regarded in official circles.
The committee has about thirty
bills from which to select
something in the shape of anti
trust legislation to present to the
house. Many members favor Mr.. Hep
burns idea on the ground that with
money available for prosecution it
can be readily determined what
amendment to the law is necessary to
make it effective.
No Actresses for Prince.
A sensational story was circulated
the other day to the effect that the
Crown Prince of Siam, who recently
visited the United States, was in love
with Mabel Gilman, New York ac-
tress, now playing the star part in the
"Mocking Bird" 1t was stated that the
actress met the prince two pears ago
in London. when he was going to
school and that she had dozens of
photos and hundreds of letters from
him. An official statement on the part
of the third assistant secretary of
state, who accompanied the prince on
-NNso NAiAiSiiSeii SiaNCio oolISWhdI ChplO-
ded the story. He says that the prince
saw Miss Gilman but once in New York
and then in the presence of her mother
after refusing to see her several times.
The story was evidently started on
small foundation for advertising pur-
poses. 1t is declared that the prince
is a young man of exceedingly good
morals and high social ideas. He went
to the theatre often when in Washing
ton and New York, but always re-
fused to visit in the green room after.
ward.
The Tama Agency.
The Iowa men at the capital seem
to be confident that Tama will not
lose her Indian agency, even though
bill passed the house the other day
to that effect. This has been tried be-
fore and Congressman Cousins usually
blocked the game, but as he is ill in
Chicago this time the bill passed. 1t
is said that the Tama agency will be
saved by an amendment which will be
inserted in the bill in the senate by
certain well known powers who watch
Iowa's interests in that body.
