announced that an ultimat-m had been

an unsatisfactory reply the German and

plant, on various occasions Of uniusti-

No effort has been spared to obtain

Repo1f That President ROoSe-
UeH FdUo1S Admission of
Tbs Territory Alone is
Generally Believed.
Senator BeUerIdge Erpecfed
10 Embodp Tbs Sentiment
in HIS Repo5f on STATE
hood Bill Wednesday.

The story sent out OF Washington to
the effect that the President has revised
his opinion on the Statehood question
and believes that Oklahoma is the only
Territory fitted for higher rank in the
UniU was quietly discussed at tho
Capitol today
While most OF the Senators we're reti-
cent on the subject. there was a general
tendency to credit the story OF the
Presidents new attitude and it is said
that the report of Senator Beveridge.
for the majority Of the Committee on
Territories. to be submitted when the
bill is taken up on Wednesday. will prac-
tically embody President Roosevelts OBJ
jections to the omnibus measure.
Ignorance of English.
The committee report viii deal with
the testimony regarding the soil. mines.
agricultural possibilities, educational IA
cilities. and general fitness OF the vari-
Gus Territories for Statehood. Opposi-
tion TO the claims OF Arizona and New
Mexico will probably be based on the
fact that a large percentage Of the
people OF these Territories do not speak
English and that in many OF the courts
interpreters are necessary. This is
taken 10 indicate that the popuation is
backward in learning English.
u is likely to be cOntended also that
the agricultural resources Of Arizona
have been so fully developed that a large
increase in people who Till the soil can
not be expected, especially since the
available land is arid and can be re-
deemed only by costly irrigation enter
prises. The Arizona mining regions. now
AT the high tide OF prosperity. may not
remain so and there is believed to be no
stability in a mining population.
Will Analyze Reports.
The committee majority. it is said. win
also aDalyze previous reports on State
hood and criticize them on the ground
thai they fail TO represent the actual
conditions.
II is claimed by the opponents Of
Statehood at the Capitol that the alleged
views OF President Roosevelt viii affect
several Senator'S claimed by Mr. Quay
as friends OF the omnibus measure and
materially reduce his supporters on tho
Republican side. A caucus Of Republi-
cans may be held within a few days 10
consider the Statehood bill. especially
II the supporters Of the plan to create
three new States show unexpected
strength when the measure comes up on
"Wednesday as unfinished business.
